...Hassan 1 Hussein Hassan Mr. Horn AP Seminar February 2 2015 The Perfect Human: The Flaws in Modern Eugenics With global technologies rapidly advancing, specifically those based in the field of genetics, one might wonder where humanity is headed in terms of their offspring. The answer? Modern eugenics. Francis Galton's eugenics, centered around forced sterilization and selective breeding to eliminate undesirable traits and foster the spread of more advantageous ones (Galton), is dead. However, the idea of focusing on one’s inherited genes to eliminate passed down diseases is alive and well, albeit in a more “modern” fashion. Is modern eugenics the right way of the future for humanity? To what extent should modern eugenics be viable? Before ambitious genetic projects had begun, such as the Human Genome Project which mapped out the entirety of the human genome (Genome.gov), the only way to tamper with an individual’s genes was through their parents. Gregor Mendel earned the moniker “The Father of Genetics” because of his experiments involving the breeding of plants in the mid 19th century (Biography.com). However, modern eugenics focuses on the genes of child more than the parents through abortions and the genetic altering of the embryo to achieve the desired results. This can be achieved through a process called genetic screening, which observes an embryo’s chromosomes for any lapses or breaks (Galloway a). Embryo’s that show signs of a genetic disorders...

...IWT1 Task 1 Romantic and Realist Visual Art Romanticism Romanticism first began as an artistic movement in the early decades of the nineteenth century in France and Britain, it continued to flourish until the mid-century. One of the biggest social conditions that contributed to the Romantic Movement in Europe was the British Industrial Revolution. Manufacturing, business, and the amount of wage laborers began to soar. This period was also largely a revolt against the aristocratic social and political norms. The Romantic Period was significantly associated with liberalism and radicalism, and the long-term effect of nationalism was probably much more significant. Romantics feared the oppression and conformity that they felt was brought on by Enlightenment, and so this period is thought to be a direct reaction to the dominance of it. They strongly believed that no person could ever understand or know everything about human personality or the world. The Romantic Period focused its main emphasis on the imagination and emotion. The romantic artists’ nature gave an alternative to the ordered world of enlightening thought. Romanticism painting is not generally identified with any one single style, attitude, or technique. It is more defined by a highly subjective and imaginative approach, a visionary or dreamlike quality and intense emotions. Romantic artists tried to express with suggestion, states of feeling that were too mystical, or too intense too define. Self expression...

The course differs from the traditional Western Civilization class in that the entire world rather than Europe alone is the focus of study. The central questions the course will ask are these: What is Modernity, that is, what do we mean when we ask of "the modern world" in which we live? How have the political, social, cultural, and economic forces that we associate with modernity changed our world and its people during the past 500 years? Why has the intercommunication, interaction, and interdependence of the peoples of the world become so much more intense during the past 500 years than they were in earlier ages? How and why did western civilization rise to global domination in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and how has the challenge of western power and cultural prestige affected the course of history of all the World's people? Finally a question that we should be asking throughout the semester: how have the patterns of world history over the past 500 years determined or affected 1) the way we now live and think, and 2) our prospects for peace, prosperity, and the "pursuit of happiness" in the coming decades? This course is NOT primarily a narrative survey of civilizations, dynasties,...

...Metropolis (1927) and George Orwell’s dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), both composers express the dangerous effects of tyrannical and demagogical leadership. In exploring the quote ‘If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever,’ Lang presents a perspective that both challenges and restores our faith in humanity, where an autocratic leader falls to his knees in a cry for mercy while Orwell aims to shatter it, with the subjugation of the rebellious protagonist. Both Orwell and Lang explore this through their contextual paradigms, demonstrating it through the apotheosis of human power, where both leaders’ ‘demi-god-like’ status produces an opaque view of reality and excess materialism. It is also revealed through a distorted sense of...

...Running head: IWT1* HUMANITIES ASSIGNMENT RIWT Task 1 Tracy Amerson, RN Western Governors University Abstract This paper will discuss and analyze creativity as the continuation of, or as a reaction to, an earlier historical art period. We will be looking at the Romanticism period and the Neoclassicism period. We will discuss the relationships between the two periods as well as the differences and how one period originated in reaction to the other period. ASSIGNMENT RIWT Task 1 Art has revolved around all different eras and periods of time. Art has been around since the beginning of time and has branched off into many sectors. Works of art vary from genres and time periods to specific types. I chose to compare the Romanticism Period and the Neoclassicism Period. The term Neoclassicism refers to the classical revival in European art, architecture, and interior design that lasted from the mid-eighteenth to the early nineteenth century. This period gave rebirth to the art of ancient Rome and Greece and the Renaissance as an opposition to the ostentatious Baroque and Rococo art that preceded the movement. Neoclassicism emphasized courage, sacrifice, nationalism and tradition. Neoclassical artists incorporated classical styles and subjects, including columns, pediments, friezes, and other ornamental schemes into their work. They were inspired by the works of Homer and Plutarch and John Flaxmann’s illustrations for the Illiad and Odyssey. Also...

...In 1899 and 1907, the Hague Conventions represents the first codification of the laws of war in an international treaty . Additionally, the Hauge Conventions created obligations to the States to criminalize and condemn war crimes. The International Criminal Court (ICC) was established to investigate and prosecute individuals accused of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and crimes of aggression. In 1943, the United Nations Commission for the Investigation of War Crimes was established to begin prosecuting WWII crimes. The commission established the Charter of the International Military Tribunal in 1945. The Nuremberg Trials indicted 24 Nazi leaders for crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The trials resulted in twelve of the twenty-four leaders sentenced to death...

...Introduction 1.1 Purpose. This report was constructed to review and analyse a website article to economically evaluate the relevant aspects pertaining to current economical trends in the world. The analysis of the website article will then formulate the potential economic consequences arising from the issue highlighted by the web article. 1.2 Article Summary The website article reviewed in this report covers the situation involving the increase in price, and shortages of cotton, due to such high demand for clothing (i.e. t-shirts) with an input resource of cotton. As recently as last year, the global events such as, flooding and heavy rain that damaged cotton crops in Pakistan and China last year, (Alison Williams 2011) have severely revenged world suppliers of cotton. Such demands and natural disasters have left retail outlets in despair as they are struggling to retain profit in the high demand of clothing they sell such as jeans and t-shirts containing the material cotton. Some local suppliers have sent out letters addressing retail outlets that soon increases in costs of cotton will affect the cost of clothing supplied. This affect has caused retailers to act accordingly, as to order in large quantities of t-shirts before prices increase, and some retailers have had to shift their prices of clothing upwards to provide profit to continue to keep their shop open (Alison Williams 2011). This issue surrounding the price of cotton will ultimately affect consumers, as...

...causes us several weather difficulties, floods in the mid part of Vietnam, and droughts almost everywhere down South. Since the weather is unnatural like this, it is a tough job to predict the weather for long term prediction to actually work with the crops to create that much of a profit. The sad thing is, Vietnam is very vulnerable. The reason is because of the long coastline that it includes –that spreads from North down to South of the county, and also the Mekong Delta that flows through the it. Vietnam is a poor country, so this brings us further down the drain. Therefore, the government insists on making most of it better. We are told to never put trash out of place, always keep the sideways clean, use less chemicals, trying our very best to reduce to carbon footprint that we have IV/ Personal Ideas I myself, and my family of course, also have some ideas to fix this problem to a better end. We try to get as many people we know as possible, telling them the threats that are creeping closer to us than the government lets on. They agree with us and we start a small “Family and Friends” campaign, in which we try to lessen our wastes as much as possible, then gather around and tell each other the “waste-lessening” strategy used to apply the most effective ways, o all of them at once. It is still very tough to get more people to join though, so all we have are small groups of family up to 10 people max. V/ Conclusion Humanity has taken Nature for granted, demolishing it at such...

...Nuclear War vs Terrorism During the early to mid-1900’s the threat that Americans were under from war was evident and frightening. The process of preparing for war against us is better than trying to prepare for a terrorist attack. The threat of terrorism today scares Americans more now than ever. The FBI website separates the term of terrorism into “Domestic Terrorism” and “International Terrorism”. Both definitions include similar content such as “acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law,” (Federal Bureau of Investigation). Terrorism attacks usually are a single event or multiple single events made by the same group towards innocent citizens of a nation. Terrorist attacks are more likely to be surprising attacks by a group or type of people that are defending or promoting a certain religious or political issue. Nuclear war would not be a good thing in these times, especially towards other countries that have limited resources. Nuclear weapons produce more than just geographic harm and economic turmoil, but it also causes severe pollution and health concerns. Some products used to build nuclear weapons are carcinogenic and can pose serious health among those who live near ground zero of a nuclear attack. “History, psychology, and common sense strongly suggest that nuclear war is more probable than most of us would like to believe. This, and the cataclysmic quality of nuclear war, imply that humanity can scarcely afford another half a century in the...

...that it is a fictitious scenario and should be treated as such. In addition, cens orship ratings have helped identify the appropriate audience for each individual game but as is the case with cigarettes and alcohol, it is not always adhered. Opposition claims state the cruel and bloody dramatizations have instilled images that have affected the minds of children. These effects have influence children to act violently often reenacting scenes and scenarios from certain video games. In addition, supplemental claims state that the lack of parental supervision and presence adds to the extremity of the violent acts. In terms of research analysis, quantitative statistics claims, “Youth violence results in considerable physical, emotional, social, and economic consequences. Although rates of youth homicide have declined substantially since the mid-1990’s, much work remains in reducing this public health burden (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2013). On the contrary, news reports of violent shootings in schools and other public venues have increased in occurrences. Oddly enough, the sales and cost of videos have...

...approximately 2.2 billion adherents, known as Christians.[5][6][7][8] Most Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human, and the savior of humanity prophesied in the Old Testament. Consequentially, Christians refer to Jesus as Christ or Messiah. The foundations of Christian theology are expressed in ecumenical creeds that are accepted by followers of the Christian faith. These professions state that Jesus suffered, died, was buried, and was resurrected from the dead in order to grant eternal life to those who believe in him and trust in him for the remission of their sins. The creeds further maintain that Jesus bodily ascended into heaven, where he reigns with God the Father. Most denominations teach that Jesus will return to judge all humans, living and dead, and to grant eternal life to his followers. He is considered the model of a virtuous life. His ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection are often referred to as the gospel, meaning "Good News" (a loan translation of the Greek: εὐαγγέλιον euangélion). The term gospel also refers to written accounts of Jesus's life and teaching, four of which—the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John—are considered canonical and are included in the Christian Bible. Christianity is an Abrahamic religion that began as a Jewish sect in the mid-1st century.[9][10] Originating in the Levant region of the Middle East, it quickly spread to Syria, Mesopotamia, Asia Minor and Egypt. It grew in size and influence over...

...torture throughout history, this essay will show how torture is rarely effective when it comes to extracting reliable information. Instead it generally generates far more time-consuming false leads. By outlining its ineffectiveness at obtaining coherent confessions, this essay aims to clearly demonstrate that torture is ineffective and thus completely unjustified. For the sake of this argument, the definition of the term justified will be “having, done for, or marked by a good or legitimate reason.” To explore the complexities and nuances of torture as a historical phenomenon and gain clarity, a definitive definition is warranted. According to the United Nations Convention against Torture torture occurs “when a person intentionally inflicts severe pain or suffering on another for purposes such as obtaining information or a confession. Other definitions include “torture is the knowing infliction of continuos or repeat extreme physical suffering for other than medical purposes.” (Steinhoff, 2013). As postulated by Jeremy Wisnewski; “torture has always been with humanity, therefore the history of torture is as long as our own. Going off the aforementioned definitions it is easy to see that torture has occurred since the beginning of recorded history and has been carried out by individuals, groups and states from ancient times to modern day . Many ancient societies such as the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians utilised torture as a cornerstone of their judicial systems with some of the more...

...Jonathan Lopez Professor Lucia English 111 November, 2014 Social Media Society has changed. The digital age has transformed the way humans are supposed to socialize. It’s no longer about human interactions. It’s an enslaved society that has succumbed to the power of technology. Technology-and its consumption of life-has become Big brother. Society has changed. Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other forms of entertainment lead to an uncontrollable urge to use one’s cellular device. Identity control. Information control. Emotion control. A world where everything is monitored and kept under control. Society has changed. The age of technology has become the age of control, and for he who controls technology, controls humanity. How far can technology go? What makes it so addictive? It all comes down to the functions of the brain. As the human brain develops over time-from birth to adulthood- the sudden change is relative to the way humans respond to stimuli. The human brain, in particular, is one of the most complex of all biological systems. In the early stages of brain development, at birth most specifically, the brain is composed of glial cells and 100 billion neurons (Nguyen). Glial cells provide structural and metabolic support for the brain. Neurons are excitable cells which chemically transmit electrical signals through connections called synapses (Nguyen). Essentially, it is the way we respond to different situations and execute actions. While it’s...
