continue with the next step of introducing recombinant DNA into another organism. The next step in continuing this process would be the insertion of the recombinant DNA into a bacteria, which was done in 1972 by Herbert Boyer, in collaboration with Stanley Cohen. The limitations of recombination size of genes and the ability to transfer the gene. In order for the recombination process to happen, the correct vector must be in use. A vector must have three sequences an origin of replication…

Lockheed Martin’s board of directors is currently comprised of 12 members who come from various backgrounds of business and management experience. The members of the board as listed on Lockheed Martin’s website are Daniel F. Akerson, Nolan D. Archibald, Rosalind G. Brewer, David B. Burritt, Bruce A. Carlson, James O. Ellis, Jr., Thomas J. Falk, Marillyn A. Hewson, Gwendolyn S. King, James M. Loy, Joseph W. Ralston, and Anne Stevens. However, board members change frequently due to ethical…

The Human Genetic Modification, a new futuristic medical tool, comes as a blessing but also comes as a curse too. Can we even handle this gift that was bestowed to us for its usage? That, however, would be answered; as Opposition. In the articles, “Understanding Genetic (diseases)”, Dr. Maggie Pearce, a Geneticist, stated, “[Broken Genes] Too hard to fix someone’s broken genes”. Likewise, to believers, human genetic modification comes as a blessing to few dozen people, but the thoughts itself…

The history of vaccines and immunization began in 1796 when Edward Jenner, a doctor living in Berkeley, England, performed the world’s first vaccination (Stern & Markel, 2005). Jenner “took pus from a cow pox lesion on a milkmaid’s hand” and “inoculated an eight-year-old boy” (Stern & Markel, 2005, p.612). Six weeks later, Jenner again inoculated two sites on the boys arm and he was unaffected. This was the beginning of vaccines and expanded greatly in the late 19th and early twentieth…

‘Terrorism is in the eye of the beholder’ – Critically assess this statement It is argued that the act of terrorism began during the French Revolution, after the executions of the monarchy, the leading revolutionary group the Jacobins sort to use the guillotine as a method to extract fear in the public and deter enemies. Terrorism/terrorists or any other form of deviant behaviour instils fear into the public and thus can apply stigma to the involved parties, such as the Islamic state/Muslims, a…

food itself due to humans has been around since 12,000 BC with the domestication of crops and artificial selection. Genetic engineering on the other hand was the result of direct transfer of DNA from one organism to another by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen in 1973. The first genetically altered plant was a tobacco plant in 1983 followed by various trials and in 1994 the first marketed food on grocery shelves was the…

What role did the media play in creating a moral panic about the Cronulla Riots? On December 11th 2005 around five thousand people gathered at Sydney’s Cronulla Beach. This was a racist and violent act against young Lebanese and other middle-eastern appearance people. It was believed in the week which led up to the Cronulla Riots there was texts messages and a couple of media sources which had a part in the events that happened on that day and afterwards. (Poynting, 2006) The media sources that…

mutation involves the insertion or deletion of a nucleotide in a DNA sequence. It can also mean, however, removing DNA from a separate organism and combining it with one of another. Genetic engineering was first accomplished by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen in 1972. Genetic engineering can be used for many positive uses. For example, scientists use genetic engineering in mass producing medicines such as insulin, growth hormones, vaccines, and many others. In other uses, organisms can…

coverage of burning buildings, hooded youths and large scale looting. And when representations such as this are flooding all media outlets such as television, social media and tabloid newspapers the opportunity arises for deviancy amplification (Stanley Cohen) which encourages others to join in and ultimately causes moral panic. However, what was really going on with the youth in reference to the rioting? There are a number of theories that can assist in explaining the actions of youths…

Ludwig spent this time in a number of places such as Berlin, Frankfurt and Rumania. After the war ended he “formed close connections with Dada group in berlin and the circles of radical architects, though he remained essentially a solitary figure” (Cohen et al., 2009, pp.10-10). When he was with this group and back in berlin he designed two skyscrapers and this allowed him to become one of the leading figures in vanguard of architecture and created a name for himself as an excellent…
