For another perspective on pornography, I want to share with all of you Catherine MacKinnon's basic position, and I will supply a supporting argument that is grounded in contemporary evolutionary biology. She thinks that all women are hurt by porn. She thinks that porn perpetuates the mal...

"January Thaw"Science has always been a subject that I found interest in, but I never put that interest to use. I've taken many science classes in my life, but I can honestly say that I have not learned much. I do know, from my two days in Biology 100, that I am on the verge of learning more abo...

The idea of a perfect race was first thought of way back during World War II, by Adolf Hitler. He wanted a nation of tall, healthy, intelligent, blonde-haired humans and these were the beginnings of biological engineering. The experiments carried out on the Jews, in the concentration camps, were utt...

ABSTRACT This experiment is designed to test whether or not gender is a major contributing factor to the recovery heart rate in humans. Most would assume that the male heart rate would be considerably faster in recovery time than that of the female. This experiment furthers that assumption by elim...

There are two main areas of which knowledge can be obtained; they are from a scientific and artistic point of view. It has been argued that the true form of knowledge is acquired from science, but artists also play an important role in understanding the world, which surrounds us. The scientific vi...

I have always thought the idea of gods and goddesses very interesting, ancient goddess being most interesting. I have felt this way because the majority of people in this day and age were raised with the male figure being the head of the household. In some third world countries the women are not e...

The debate concerning 'nature vs. nurture' is one of three controversial issues argued when psychologists talk of human development. One side will argue the point of nature, saying genetics hold the key that unlocks human development. On the other hand, some will say the environment in which one is ...

Recently, we have all seen the controversy over whether or not we should attempt to clone. If you haven\'t heard: A group of scientists in Scotland announced the birth of a sheep cloned from embryonic cells, presaging Dolly. Dolly\'s was the birth heard round the world. The first mammal ever cloned...

There are many different philosophies towards life. All these philosophies are based on the opposition of mythos and logos. The factor that changes most philosophies is the correct definition of the two terms. Philosophers have been trying to explain the difference between mythos and logos for ce...

Ontological Hierarchy and Moral Decisions Plato first posited the theory of an ontological hierarchy in his account of human beings' a priori knowledge. He believed that humans gained universal knowledge through the direct contact between perfect, other-worldly Forms and our pre-natal souls...

Are Humans and Beasts Too Close for Comfort? Are humans and animals in too close contact for disease dispersal? This question that is asked in the May 2000 article, Germs and sickness in a shrinking world, of "U.S. News online" is one that needs to be looked at very directly. "...

Moral Theories Philosophy has for thousands of years attempted to tell us how to live morally. In this attempt there have been two major types of theories, skeptical and non-skeptical. To generalize skeptical theories conclude that ultimately we cannot compose a logical moral theory that we can a...

In their article, \"Interior design education within a human ecological framework,\" Kaup, Anderson and Honey (2007) argue for an interdisciplinary model of interior design education that would incorporate the study of human ecology. Kaup, Anderson and Honey contend that such an approach would enhan...

E.A. Hooton defined race has a "great division of mankind, the member of which, though individually varying, are characterized as a group by a certain combination of morphological and metrical features which have been derived from their common descent." Race is a term sometimes used by bio...

According to Robert J. Samuelson, "Every environmental ill is depicted as an onrushing calamity that-if not stopped-will end life as we know it" (Samuelson 462). Pollution may or may not lead to the end of the world, but I find that highly unlikely. The problems with the environment hav...

The pace of development in science and medicine is extremely rapid. Medicinal practices have advanced so far as to treat once devastating illnesses and have even evolved into a way to alter human genetic codes and structures. But when do these milestones cross the line of being ethical? How do we ch...

Utopia is completely attainable. Utopia, derived from the Greek words meaning no place, was always thought to be a model to strive for.
