The concept of a critical point is something that can be seen in various sciences. Critical point is a moment when something radically changes its state or direction. For example, in physics, there are critical points when water changes its state – once it falls below 0 Celsius, it becomes an ice, and once it rises above 100 Celsius, it becomes a gas.

Animals have been used in laboratories across the globe for centuries. Whether it has been to test new drugs, plants, and multiple synthetic products, animals have always been the go-to ‘Guineapigs’ for testing new products and medications. However it was only recently that the pain and suffering that the animals in these laboratories face was made common knowledge. Thousands upon thousands of animals around the world are forced to inhale deadly toxins, swallow pills, have toxic liquids inserted…

The birthmark is her flaw and it is also the source of her vanity; she has been told all of her life that the mark is an asset to her beauty but it can be inferred that she is still self conscious about the mark, after all most other women have said that the mark is a hideous disfigurement.

What is culture? Should it be taught? Masoud Ranjbaran Iran University of Science and Technology Foreign Language Department The complexity of culture is the main reason that it prevents scholars to reach consensus on its definition.

Not only is this continuous growth beneficial for society, it also ushers in a new era in human history that is dependant on both human knowledge and technological information for complete functionality in a given community. In order to keep this functionality going the people have the right to access certain…

career that men have traditionally had (things like engineer, scientist, or contractor). Even though I had good grades in science, I had it in my head that those career were for men based on what I had learned at home and in society. I love the career I have now, but I can freely admit that my job as a special education aide primarily involves jobs traditionally relegated to women – feeding children, changing their diapers, picking up after them, and helping them learn life skills such as…

Literature Review The gender disparity in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields in the United States has reached a critical state. Previous research indicates there are several factors that have contributed to the STEM gender gap, including teacher (Beilock, Gunderson, Ramirez & Levine, 2010) and parental influences (Gunderson, Ramirez, Levine, & Beilock, 2011), stereotype threat (Shapiro & Williams, 2012), and institutional climate (Baldwin, 2009;…

be attempting to deconstruct the nature/culture and masculine/feminine dichotomy, by showing that a balance is needed. By looking at culture as the newly developing culture of progress through science, an explicit connection between science and culture – where men are in control of both – is created. Women are portrayed within both novels as 'natural' whereas as men portray a more cultural aspect of society, the authors are highlighting that a balance is needed between the two. Nature is deemed…
