...Since the age of five years old I have wanted to be many things as I grew up but one career has stayed the same. When I was little I always liked to play with babies and just enjoy their time. I used to tell my mom all the time that I wanted to be the person to help deliver those babies. It was not until I had gotten a little older did I find out the appropriate name of the doctor that specializes in this. To become an obstetrician/gynecologist is and ultimate lifetime career goal of mine. I have dedicated my entire high school education to this career I plan on pursuing once I finish school.

Secondly, I am now taking a dual enrollment class, Biology, which gives me an upper hand once I go to college by taking this course I receive a high school and college credit.

By the time I am thirty-five years old I...

...Describe and evaluate the evolutionary theory of food preferences According to an evolutionary approach current human behaviour can be understood in terms of how it may have been adaptive in our ancestral past. Evolutionary theorists are concerned with behaviour which is adaptive and having survival value, these researchers look for ultimate explanations. Current behaviours may be maladaptive and dysfunctional but can be understood as having been adaptive and functional in some way. To undertake this type of analysis they draw on the theory of natural selection and suggest that all species including humans, evolve through a process of natural selection and that only those characteristics that confer advantage or at least do not confer disadvantage survive as the species evolve. This is an interactionist approach, as an individual’s genetic predisposition is assumed to interact with their environment. In terms of eating behaviour, an evolutionary psychologist is interested in the following questions: “Are there innate preferences for certain foods?”, “How would these preferences have been adaptive in the past?” and “How do these preferences function now?” Early research by Davis investigated the eating behaviour of infants and young children. Davis observed the kinds of choice children living in a paediatric unit made in relation to their diet. Based on her data, Davis concluded that young children have an innate, regulatory mechanism and are able to select a healthy diet...

...A first time mother is never prepared for what is to come when she finally has her baby. Some woman get the advantage of having the fathers baby in their lives while others have to find a way to raise a baby on their own and figure out how or what they will be going to do in order to provide for their baby. It’s heartbreaking to see the single mothers with their first time child and the father nowhere to be found. It’s even more painful to see a woman desperate for removal of this child; instead of facing reality and living up to their responsibilities, they take the easy way out. The legal age to marry in the united states is 18 years of age, however different cultures and countries allow marriage at a younger age, forced or not, there...

...1) Explain Natural Law Theory. Natural Law refers to the laws of nature; it is also the basis of all science, observing what happened in nature, it is also a law that stretches across all cultures and ways of life. It is based on the religious idea of a God who creates everything with a purpose and end in the mind. Natural Law ethics is part of natural theology that tells us how God wants us to live here and now. To live according to natural law is to live by Gods intentions ethical direction can be found in what is common to all humans. If we follow these common dispositions then we act as God intended= we act in a good way. If we investigate carefully and reason correctly our search will lead to God. This is the basic of natural Theology. Natural law becomes more specific when we move towards secondary principles such as the 10 commandments (secondary law). They are always valid but we should not act upon them. Natural law is split up into 4 channels which are: Eternal Law- Is the mind of God which humans cannot know. Contained within it are the laws which govern the creation of the universe and cannot control the life cycle of everything in existence. Although humans cannot fully know the Eternal law, they can occasionally glimpse reflection of it, for example, through scientific knowledge of aspects of natural law. This shows that God is the starting point, his idea, his rules. He reveals himself threw divine law. God is also thinking about creating a world. We will...

...Maxwell Husband St. Joseph’s University Moral Foundations T/TR 8:30-9:45 “Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice” Abortion is and forever will be a very controversial topic of discussion. It has been debated for years whether it is morally right or wrong. Abortion is a unique subject in that it involves not only morality but also a large amount of theology, emotion, and law. It is also unique because it forces people to choose one side or the other, there is a very small gray area when it comes to this debate, and the side that I will fall on in this essay is the pro-choice side. In this essay I will attempt prove that abortion is not murdering an innocent fetus and that the arguments for pro-choice are stronger than the ones for pro-life. The main point of disagreement between the two sides is what constitutes life, when does human life actually begin? I believe to construct a sound argument this issue must be examined first. I will then go on to cover other various pro-choice points such as a women’s right to choose, the quality of life for the potential child, and the extreme circumstances that will disprove the notion that abortion is morally wrong. As stated in my opening paragraph, the key issue in the case of abortion is determining the status of the fetus in the sense of its humanity. It is my belief that a fetus does not qualify as a human. I agree with Warren when she states that “human being” is a term that is not often distinguished, she suggests that there are two...

...Day I remember the first day home with first my newborn. However, apart from the overwhelming excitement part of having my baby home, the rest did not happen as I expected or at least planned ahead. I always try to be organized and well-prepared; things should be exact. But now the baby comes first. I can’t imagine leaving him just for a minute to do other errands. My mom always told me “Your life will change when your baby arrives”. I did not really believe her at the time, but now I guess she was right. In my eyes, my baby is the most wonderful and precious thing in the world I have ever received. Not even the first birthday present, which was a bike I had long wished for, I got from my parents on my 6-years-old birthday can be compared. The very first moment I saw him in the delivery room when the mid-wife handed him to me, I could feel how much love coming from him holding him in my arms, and also how much love coming from my heart in return. However, dealing with his routine on a daily basis needs a lot of patience. I have to admit that, there are times where my patience is tested. There are times when I feel completely frazzled and annoyed. There are times I take my son for granted with the “work” and “worry”, and how much my tired body screams at me for a break. But I know I will never wish for anything else. I might know well that all a baby does is eat, poop, cry, and sleep. This sounds simple at first, but, turns out a challenging task when I actually deal with...

...For most people, it is commonly thought that religious art is art that connects with a certain religion. Like a painting showing Jesus on a cross and Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus would be automatically viewed as a religious piece of art because it corresponds to Christianity. However, it can be argued that religious art does not just fall into one category. In fact, religion and art are on a continuum. It is commonly thought back then that religious art is painted or created in a certain way to represent the divine or the ultimate reality. The conservative mindset of how religious art was supposed to be was very traditional and clear as to what religion the art is relating to. However, religious art cannot simply be viewed as religious art just because it has some affiliation to a religion. It goes beyond that. Moreover, religious art extends out of the certain religion, and goes deeper into the individual’s experience while looking or observing the art piece. Artistic expression of the sacred is considered religious not just because it is affiliated to a religion, but it also provides a sense of spiritual connection and experience to the divine or ultimate reality. Rather...

...characteristic in which humans are viable. The concept of human life raises the question…when is a fetus considered a human? When does a baby become “viable?” the answer to this question is; four week gestation. At four weeks the heartbeat is audible, from then on, no matter what the circumstance, that is a human life. “For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother’s womb” (Psalm 139:13) (Bible, ESV). The case study theories are based on the fact that the baby has the possibility of not being able to develop arms and has a twenty five percent chance of developing Down syndrome. The doctor believes that the moral status is up to the mother to choose due to the risks of bringing a child with disabilities into the world. From his medical perspective, he wants the mother to weigh the costs of not being able to care for and have the finances to provide for a child with special needs. The husband wanted to break the news to his wife slowly to discuss what they wanted to do. The moral status from his perspective is working together to come up with what to do as future parents. Maria, the aunt, wants to use her faith and pray for healing and miracles. Maria’s perspective of moral status is that no matter what, Jessica needs to keep this baby and work through all of the issues that may or may not arise. The mother of the child has the ultimate decision to make and it will really come down to it being her decision. She will be the one carrying the child in her womb for nine...

...Federal Trade Commission seeks a preliminary injunction pursuant to Section 13(b) of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. § 53(b), to enjoin the proposed merger of the baby food divisions of H.J. Heinz Company and Milnot Holding Corporation ("Beech-Nut"). . . . I. BACKGROUND A. Market overview Four million infants in the United States consume 80 million cases of jarred baby food annually, representing a domestic market of $865 million to $1 billion. There are only three major manufacturers and distributors of jarred baby food in the United States: Heinz, Beech-Nut, and Gerber Products Company. Gerber is by far the largest domestic manufacturer. It enjoys, and has enjoyed for some 40 years, a dominant market share that has recently grown to between 65 and 70 percent. The Gerber market share is now 65 percent, the Heinz share 17.4 percent, and the Beech-Nut share 15.4 percent. . . . Heinz's domestic baby food products are manufactured at its Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania plant, which was recently updated at a cost of $120 million. The Pittsburgh plant now operates at 40 percent of its production capacity and produces 12 million cases of baby food annually. . . . Beech-Nut manufactures all of its baby food in Canajoharie, New York, at a manufacturing plant that was built in 1907 and began manufacturing baby food in 1931. The plant is not technologically current. Beech-Nut submitted proof that it would be prohibitively expensive to make further improvements in the Canajoharie plant;...

...Some people don’t understand the consequences of having unprotected sex. One result is getting pregnant. For many the result of being pregnant ends up with an abortion. There are ways to terminate a child. They all include the abortion pill, the actual procedure which is the vacuum aspiration or dilation and curettage which scrapes the walls of the uterus. The abortion pill has to be taken at a very early stage in pregnancy so that the baby would come out efficiently. This has to be done in the first trimester before it gets to the embryotic stage. The vacuum aspiration is a device in which is placed in the uterus to suck the baby out. It causes a little pain to the mother and much pain to the baby. It is still performed in an early stage of pregnancy as well. The dilation and curettage is an actual surgery that is performed on women who are a little further along than that for the vacuum aspiration requirements. Dilation is when the doctors open the cervix up and remove the lining of the uterus. Curettage is when the doctor scrapes out the baby and unnecessary stuff from the pregnancy. It is considered to be safe but some women experience abnormal bleeding. Doctors try their best to avoid this procedure unless it is absolutely necessary. America should ban abortion. Abortions causes psychological stress, effects health and conflicts with religion of most women. Many people would disagree with my reasoning behind banning abortions. Many would say that we should keep abortion...

...also believe that in real society it wouldn’t be allowed to harm a living person so it shouldn’t be allowed to harm a fetus. They also believe in cases such as rape or incest abortion shouldn’t be allowed because it punishes the child instead when it should really be the suspect who should be punished. A huge ordeal that could prevent pregnancy in the first place in using contraceptives, abortion shouldn’t be the ultimate back up plan. Women should be responsible enough to use protection when being sexually active so they don’t immediately turn to abortion when they suspect they are pregnant. After having an abortion it is told that some women have doubts about the decision they have just made. A lot of girls who go through with abortion are often young girls who are not sure what they want. With getting abortions there are complications that come along with it such as pelvic inflammatory disease, mental pain and stress, and ectopic pregnancies. Abortion does not always have to be the answer there is adoption. There are millions of families who cannot have babies who wish to have them and there are many people...

...In Nora Ephron’s, “The Boston Photographs”, her main argument begins to emerge after she introduces, describes, and analyzes the three photographs of the Boston woman and her baby. Ephron’s argument builds upon Charles Seib’s column in the Post about the Boston photographs by using refutation, and further develops her own stance. She argues that censoring photographs related to human death is actually hiding an ultimate truth of humanity. The widespread use of censorship causes society to ignore one of life’s main events. Ephron takes a step further and claims that it is irresponsible and inaccurate to only show scenes of death when the photo itself is sensational, rather the actual event of death. Moreover, the information about the photographs...

...used as a measure of limiting families to a manageable size. In the past, due to the lack of knowledge, many families usually gave birth to a lot of children that they could not afford to raise, which is why abortion was abused in early times as an extreme measure of birth control to avoid further poverty to families. Today, many abortions are given to women under the age of 22. There are not many teenage girls who have sex use protection the first time. Impulsive, ignorant, and irresponsible behavior often lead to unwanted pregnancy. Forcing a woman to raise an unwanted child is the ultimate form of child abuse, for the child will receive less of the loving maternal relationship she or he deserves. Moreover, given birth at the early age may cause a great danger on the young mother as well as the baby, etc. By these reasons, we should consider the right of women to decide whether she should keep the baby or not. Nowadays, many teenage girls have sex in their early age and get pregnant by the lack of knowledge in sexual relationship. If they can not have abortion, they are forced to give birth to the child and raise it while they are still in school. It's not fair for them because they still have the whole school life and their future ahead. That will interrupt their education and even their dream. These teenage girls will have to live the rest of their lives in sadness and despair and the child will be a big burden for her because there is no way she can afford to raise it. There...
