Women in science

more inclusive scientific community. Among the students who went to a public girl's high school in Korea, I was one of the few who pursued basic scientific research. The STEM field has been historically male-dominant, and social barriers against women still largely discourage female participation. I was among twenty percent of the…

The world since the Golden Age of Renaissance has changed drastically in the past five hundred years. However, there are still a myriad of influential modern day Renaissance men (and women) existing in the world. Although the set of criteria that the world uses to define a Renaissance man is different from the past, the definition of humanistic virtues and ideals itself has not changed. Paul Allen, one of our leading businessmen, is a definite apotheosis. His versatility allowed him not only to…

math and science is to “pinkify” them. They believe that girls are interested in fashion and boys and make-up and that is what program should relate math and science with, in order for girls to become interested in the topics. But what these people fail to take in account is that not all girls are interested in make-up or dating or even fashion. Girls have different interests and programs should take that into account when trying to help girls become more interested in math and science. Also,…

The society we live in today consists of people that buy into stereotypes and the propaganda that is being fed by the government and the media to them. Stereotypes make individual 's perceptions of a group of people in a certain way, most of the times is negative, which induces the opinion to all members of the group. Aware of the influence stereotypes have on people 's views, governments use stereotypes already imbedded in society as a propaganda tactic to persuade people 's thoughts, opinions…

This class was nothing like I’ve ever been apart of. The dynamics of the class, how it was structured, and the requirements, were all so foreign to me that it really allowed me to grow as a student, and a business major. I learned a lot about not only myself, but also how I react in certain situations. I also learned about my peers in a way I would otherwise not have. Beginning with the class dynamics, I learned how different personalities are. Being an introvert in this class was very…

Now that we are at the end of the Spring 2016 semester, it is time to reflect on the History Department’s exciting year. I don’t normally like to turn my back on people, but I wanted to model the History Student Association’s new t-shirt. Not only do I like the shirt, I believe that our students came up with a wonderful way of describing what it is that we as historians do and are. We are scholars who are “in-betweeners.” “Our minds are in the past, our bodies in the present, and our…

Sitting around the hardwood table in the dormitory, we constructed together a meal that we felt embodied the term “comfort food” for all of us. This recipe, called Spicy Ramen Rice Casserole, held the desirable characteristics we sought after such as: spiciness, home-style flavor, and warmth. Most of the ingredients for this recipe came from Jewel grocery stores and ranged in price from $2.79 for both the beef ramen and the cheesy rice to the pre-cooked meat at $3.99. The jalapeños and hot sauce…

Comfort Theory, developed by Katharine Kolcaba, proclaims that providing comfort interventions a holistic approach can lead to positive outcomes, health seeking behaviors, and improved health-care delivery system. Comfort can be difficult to define and subjective to every person. However, Kolbaca used other theories to propose three types of comfort: relief, ease, and transcendence. Relief comes when a specific comfort is met, while ease is a state of calm or contentment. Transcendence occurs…

Compassion In Tim O’Brien’s, “The Things They Carried”, he introduces his extremely personal story to his readers “On the Rainy River” that he supposedly has never told anyone. With this chapter he is faced with a huge life-changing crisis, he had been drafted to serve in the United States Army to fight in the Vietnam War. O’Brien felt trapped, he was completely opposed to this forced command but there was no way out. He couldn’t even fathom why he would have to risk his life for a war that he…

Looking throughout history, women’s roles have always been sparse and almost non-existent. In fact, very few women had the honour of being in older textbooks, nor did they even get recognition for their work. Although this is now changing, with feminism ensuring that females are no longer forgotten. Previous sexist views have already created a lack of documentation on older historical women. This is shown when examining the topic of female pirates. Only a handful of ladies have actual proof of…
