The Golden Era

change this miserable man, then what else was she capable of? Also, he uses this development to advance his underlying message. If a man as dejected and somber as Carton could change, then why couldn’t a corrupt society do the same? If humanity has a “golden thread” shining rays of hope on the path towards change, then why not try and make change happen? When talking to Dr. Manette, Charles Darnay says, “I well understand that, even if Miss Manette held me at this moment in her innocent heart-…

The Victorian period was a golden era for taxidermy and general morbidity. Walter Potter was an English self-taught taxidermist and became famous for his intrinsic work, in which he was able to take advantage of the increasing audience for this type of art. He stuffed and preserved animals, putting them in costumes and setting them up as if they were telling a story. He was one of the pioneers in this line of work, and the period of time in which he lived couldn’t have been better for his…

Maude disrupts Thomas and Nell’s wedding day with a “gift” for each person, designed to taunt their relationship which she views with contempt.

Every person has a different story a different childhood, some people have an extreme childhood, the type that you…

As technology advances, scientists and business moguls are finding new ways to genetically modify food products to meet the growing demand for food. However, the average consumer is oblivious to what is entering their body when they consume these genetically modified foods that are not required by law to be labeled. Nina Fedoroff’s, “Engineering Food for All”, is an editorial stating that there is no harm in utilizing genetically modified organisms to feed everybody. She also states that there…

Strolling down the grocery aisle, bold blue and green labels declaring “non-gmo” on food products catches customer’s eyes. What do these labels mean? According to the World Health Organization, “Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally, e.g. through the introduction of a gene from a different organism” (“Food”).In other words, genetically modified foods are foods whose DNA contains…

GMO, which stands for Genetically Modified Organism have been introduced as a highly debatable topic for quite a while now. A GMO is an organism whose genetic material has been altered by using genetic engineering techniques. Before this technology was available, farmers had to pass down knowledge of their best breeds for optimal/desirable traits for the crops they would produce. Now GMOs have given us the option to select traits that would discourage and repel pests to certain crops. Some may…

Genetically Modified Organisms In recent years there has been a growing debate about the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in our food supply. A GMO is created by injecting genetic material from plants, animals, or bacteria into a crop in hopes of creating a new and beneficial trait (Blackwood). The use of GMOs is typically touted as a way to enhance or create a specific trait, such as pest and disease resistance or to increase the nutritional content of a crop. Those on both sides of…

Over the span of 35 years, our society has developed research towards Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).These organisms have provided many benefits to the society through nutritional value and over the years of being developed, there have been negative theories that have arisen in the eyes of skeptics. Although there are many legitimate concerns toward GMOs, labeling and regulating Genetically Modified Organisms can alert customers of the dangers and decrease negativity by informing them of…
