Although many say performing genetic modification on human embryos is wrong others disagree. A more common way used to genetically modify organisms is the CRISPR Cas9 system. This system is what targets, and changes a specific gene in the gnome. Cas9 is an “enzyme” used to remove and disconnect the strands of DNA that are being replaced. Another important part of this system is the RNA, that is used as a guide to effectively carry out the process a accurately as possible. (yourgenome). This…

familial, friendly, or romantic. Scientists, philosophers, authors, and even college students have tried to get to the core of what love is, how it is experienced, and whether it is biologically present or able to fluctuate or change. Through Plato’s Symposium, The Romance of Tristan and Isolt, Helen Fisher’s novel Why We Love, and various other publications, I believe that the feelings invoked by love have remained constant, but the means to which they are brought out have changed as time…

works is the contrast between the world of the forms and the world of appearances. Socrates describes forms and appearances as “two kinds of existences” (Plato, Phaedo, 79a). He continues to say that the form is “by itself, it is always one” (Plato, Symposium, 211b). If the form is always one, then appearances are many. The form is invisible, appearances are visible. The form is the essence all common things must share in and is a constant and unchanging reality. Appearances are particular…

In the novel, “The Sunflower” written by Simon Wiesenthal, Simon is in a constant battle with himself if he should have forgiven Karl for his crimes and the Nazi soldiers for his life. Everyone he knows or encounters have told him something different but never understood if he should have forgiven Karl or not. Deep down Simon knows that Karl felt sorrow for his errors he has done. At the end of his memoir, Wiesenthal asks us, the readers, what would we have done if we were in the situation he…

Good evening/afternoon and welcome to The Contemporary Relevance of the Bard Symposium. I’m Campbell Behan and the purpose of this Symposium today is to investigate the theme of power and how it is represented in Macbeth. William Shakespeare permeates almost all aspects of our society because of his views and observations of human nature with particular regard to how power is acquired and exercised. He is considered as the most popular playwright of English literature. Shakespeare explores…

is an classic example of same-sex love in Greek Mythology ( Crompton, 2003, p 2). In Homer’s epic Iliad, Achilles reaction to Patroclus death is connoted of the homosexual relationship between them (Pattanaik, 2014, p 19). Plato too, in his work Symposium, presents the homosexual relationship between Achilles and Patrolocus (Crompton, 2003, p 2) Poetry and folklores in Greek history also accounts of a lot of same-sex relationships and love. Saphho, Ibycus, Alcaeus, Anacreon, Theognis and Pindar…

"On April 10 and 11, the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston honored the Ernest Hemingway's centennial. The two-day symposium brought out some of the leading lights of American and international letters-Nobel Laureates and Pulitzer Prize winners, writers like Tobias Wolff, Robert Stone, and Annie Proulx. More significant, though, were the non-writers in attendance: a sell-out crowd paid $125 apiece to fill the hall. The turn-out shows that in an America that is hardly literary-indeed, barely…
