Introduction

Intellectuals spent a considerable period of time during the 20th century discussing skeptical arguments which claim that it is impossible to have knowledge of the existing world. These arguments stem from theories of Descartes and have been the basis of heated discourses on the subject of the external world. The skeptics to the notion of the external world have claimed that their premises on the subject are intuitively obvious. However, they have not offered empirical evidence to underpin their intuition. Some authors contend that the intuitions underpinning their skeptical arguments are universal (widely shared) for those who think critically about ...

The paths of water through the hydrologic cycle

One of the most fundamental principles in hydrology and ecology is the hydrologic cycle. This cycle represents the process of water circulations from the oceans, atmosphere, land and back to the ocean. The energy driving the cycle is from the solar/sun and forces of gravity. The process is continuous, and is a global wide process ensuring that every water drop on earth is part of the system (Harper et al n.d).

At the beginning of the process, water from the seas, lakes, wetlands, rivers gain energy from the sun and get transferred to the atmosphere as vapor. The sun provides ...

Abstract

This essay will outline the nature of the death penalty in terms of its birth and its ideals and how this translates in terms of the democratic process. Such philosophers and social reformers as T.H Green, Beccaria, Hobbes and Jeremy Bentham to discuss the benefits and negative factors of the death penalty in terms of its effectiveness as a deterrent and assess whether or not it’s value as a deterrent outweighs these negative factors.

Genetic evolution refers to change(s) in inheritable traits occurring across succeeding generation of organisms. The change (evolution) is responsible for the diversity at all levels including the molecular level e.g. genetic variations, individual organisms in the same species (intra-species variations) and among species (interspecies variations). It is believed that all organisms emanated from common ancestry about 3.7 billion years ago and then evolved over time to the present biodiversity. Therefore all organisms have some shared traits at the morphological and molecular level with the species sharing a more recent ancestry having more similar traits. The process of evolution involves ...

Introduction

There are environmental chemical processes which require light to react. These processes are called photochemical reactions. Photochemical reaction is commonly initiated due to the absorption of solar energy or light. When molecules absorb energy in the form of light, the atoms are converted in a transient excited state (Larson & Weber, 1994). This transition state or excited has completely different physical and chemical properties with the initial state of the molecule. The excited states also have more tendencies to react since they are considered stronger acids and stronger reductants that the initial state of the molecule. The excited state of ...

In 1985, Donna Haraway published a seminal essay “A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century”. While it was greatly intended to discuss like a metaphorical disclosure, many futurists and feminists were inspired by its more technoprogressive and literal interpretation of her message. This essay became a major influence on the society’s conception of postgenderist theory, and inspired many other articles like “Postgenderism: Beyond the Gender Binary” and “Overcoming Gender” and "Postgenderism: Beyond the Gender Binary" (sentientdevelopments, 2010).
In her essay “A Cyborg Manifesto”, Haraway issued feminists a challenge to start engaging in politics beyond essentialism and ...

Age of maturity is a very important aspect of growth and development that has been at the forefront of many scientific experiments over the years. Berrigan and Charnov(Berrigan & Charnov, 1994) first came up with a postulate on how the size and age of maturity of reptile and fishes were interrelated. Berrigan and Charnov through their paper, created a scientific puzzle wherein, the growth is positively correlated to slight increase in temperature, therefore creating a positive slope in the size-to-age at maturity reaction norm. On the other hand, if food is the deciding factor and not temperature, ...
