For many people, a belief system dictates most of their lives. Whether they believe in one god, or a dozen, their everyday actions are determined by their faith. This proves especially true in The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Bible. The events of both works of literature are prompted by the involvement of some sort of overlying, supreme being. Both The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Bible contain the theme that human beings are at the mercy of the gods. In The Epic of Gilgamesh, the gods rule freely…

Exploring the sexual double standard that has been implemented within our society has left a mark. Acknowledging the fact that no matter what a number of sexual partners one may have, there is a double standard. Being a male, one would be considered a “stud” for being able to attract multiple sexual partners, while a female will be deemed a “slut”. This social phenomenon of the double standard of name calling to degrade one person with harsh words due to her actions as her male counterpart…

Primate Social Groups Living in a society where monogamy is the most accepted and practiced form of relationships I had never considered that primates practice any specific relationships let alone more than one. Through research I have found that there are actually six different types of social groups that exist among primates. Those six groups are polygynous, polyandrous, multimale and multifemale, all male, monogamous, and solitary. All six of these primate societies can be found being…

The underlying reason that we as humans cannot follow the advice of Jesus of Nazareth is that we are selfish. What this quote is saying is that what ever action or item you would want to get from someone you should return something of equal value. Having that sense of equal reciprocity is against human nature. Throughout the history of human evolution, it is the selfish ones that survive (Dawkins 2006) . Selfishness goes along with competition with both starting very early in our evolutionary…

Cloning may be considered an extremely taboo topic to talk about. This is because of having fear in the unknown. What many people do not understand about the topic of cloning is it is not a perfected science. Cloning has so much potential to do well and help our society if people would just allow it to blossom into more of a perfected science. If people would just allow it to do so, and not base its future off of the unsuccessful experiments that it had it had in its beginning, then we could…

Reproduction In this essay I will attempt to explain the key events in human reproduction and explain the male and female reproductive systems. Both males and females require fully functioning reproductive systems in order to conceive naturally, I will first begin by explaining the male reproductive system, the testes are cradled within a ‘bag’ of skin called the scrotum, their two functions are to produce sperm cells and sex hormones. Next, the vas deferens. Sperm passes through the vas…

fluorescence. The cell sorting part of the system works as follows: when the stream of fluid exits the flow cytometer, it is broken into little droplets by a vibrator, forming about 70,000 to 80,000 droplets per second. About one-third of the droplets contain a sperm and about two-thirds are empty; a few droplets contain two or more sperm. If a droplet contains an X-sperm as analyzed by the computer, a positive electrical charge is added to the droplet; if the droplet contains a Y-sperm, a…

evolved to have complete autonomy with whom we reproduce with, especially how that choice relies heavily with females. The captious nature of females makes sense in a system where males are indiscriminate and eager to spread their genes. The cost of reproduction weighs more heavily on the female as she invests the most time during the development of the offspring. She…

Abortion is a very touchy subject to a lot of people. Sometimes you can't even say the word "abortion" without getting disgusted looks from the people around you or getting a lecture about why it's a good thing. Abortion is not a good thing. Why should an innocent life be taken without even having the ability to defend itself? Why should a living thing be told that it doesn't have feelings or that it doesn't matter? Why should a baby not have the chance to live simply because of the poor choices…

Mockingbirds are so good at imitating sounds that acoustical analysis could not tell the difference between the original song or the mockingbird (Wild Birds unlimited). Mocking birds will be the main subject for this paper. This research paper will cover the basics for mockingbirds, vocalizations of the mockingbirds, and interactions with humans and other mockingbirds. The first topic is the basics including habitat, nesting, and feeding. Mockingbirds have nearly disappeared on the East Coast…
