According to Mary Warren, a fetus is a genetic human being but is not a moral agent. It follows then that a fetus is not a part of the moral community. The fetus according to Warren lacks the required characteristics that qualify it to be a part of the moral community (LaFollette, 2014). It should, therefore, not receive moral protection. It follows then that it is right to terminate a fetus before it qualifies to be a moral being. For an individual to qualify to be a moral person rather than a genetic human, such a person must have ...

In the age of slavery, white American society considered African people to be benighted heathens with the other skin color, body structure, and inappropriate traditions and culture. Such conclusions were drawn mostly upon the widespread idea about the superiority of Whites and the absence of Christianity in Africa. American society prevented the assimilation of African-American slaves even after the generations of their presence on the American land and repudiated their equality to Whites even when they started to adopt Christian way of life. For Americans, African people had continued to be barbarians who had come to America to be ...

As an immigrant to the United States of America, I understand better than many native citizens just how complicated cultural identity can be. To someone who was born in this country and has lived here all her life, it might be difficult to understand that an individual's experiences are profoundly shaped by the culture where she grows up. The time I spent in Guyana as a young person gave me a strong personal identity and a powerful belief in God, both of which have affected how and why I learn. I was born in the South American country of ...

Which of the two major political parties in the United States is most likely to face alignment in the coming years and why? In the USA, many voters tend to identify with one political party. It can be because of the party’s political ideologies or identifiable group factors such as ethnicity, religion, and socioeconomic classes. However, the loyalties may be changed and the voters gravitate towards the opposing party (Brooks). Party realignment occurs when a big bloc of voters who previously voted for one party does a massive shift to the rival party and remains with it for ...

In the article, “Diverging Development: The Not-so-invisible Hand of Social Class in the United States”, Furstenberg said that social class is quickly beginning to shape the development of children, even before the child is born. Classism is alive in the form of less opportunities for lower social classes, forming a class that isn’t necessarily unintelligent, but uneducated. There exists a stereotype against those of lower social classes that these people do not strive to rise in the social hierarchy, and they often receive sub-par assistance, in part, through this prejudice. The article argues that social class is part ...

The Exorcist is a 1973 horror film, directed by William Friedkin. A potent adaptation of William Peter Blatty’s novel, The Exorcist tells the story of a young girl who is possessed by a demon. The film caused a great deal of controversy when it was released as many people felt that the violence, blasphemy and young protagonist were inappropriate and damaging for audiences and for society. Admittedly, the film does not have the same shock value today as it did in 1973, partly because the cinematography and special affects now look dated and unrealistic, and partly because many ...

Introduction As a child, the mind is easily in awe and wonder about the simplest or most basic experiences. Experts argue that this may be the case because children’s brains are wired differently compared to when they grow up as adults. When children grow up, their brain physiology and chemistry change so as to accommodate other sections of the brain that are necessary for adulthood. Consequently, individual loses her child-like wonder when experiencing ordinary events as an adult. Therefore, childhood is a time when the brain focuses on allowing the child to develop by ...

Physical activity entails any action that causes the body to consume energy. Some activities result in high energy use while others result in low to moderate use energy consumption. The intensity of a person’s physical activity determines the type of physical activity factor used to calculate the energy requirements. According to Franz, Boucher and Pereira (2011), the physical activity factor may either be sedentary, low active, active or very active. A very active physical activity factor is calculated by BMR X 1.725 (Rolfes, Pinna & Whitney, 2014). BMR = 88.362 + (13.397 x weight (kg) + (4.799 x height (cm) (5.677 x ...

2012 was the most important year for me because it was the year my entire family was waiting for one moment: my graduation from high school. Unfortunately, I failed to do this, and was ignored by everybody who had waited so long to see it happen. It was a surprise to everybody, as before 2012, I had been the most hardworking one of any of us. Starting in secondary school my GPA remained above 3.6. As I went on to high school it stayed the same. Last year, however, I experienced a valley in my educational career. I had ...

My parents were ...

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

In order to get to collage, I had to make many challenging decisions. At a particular time in my life, I realized that most of the things that we do come as an instinct. However, that marks the difference between these events is the outcomes that are associated. The difference is also observed from how they affect our lives in a different way compared to the possible outcome in case they could have been done differently. Eventually, the occurrence of these events and how we influence them is a matter of our mindset. The outcomes always depend on whether ...

Summary Of Proposed Research

Global drought not only affects the world agriculture and economics, but interactively affects the phenotypic trait of plants across a different diversity gradient. Nevertheless, plants are able to adapt themselves to the drought environment by changing their phenotypic trait. From previous research at Jena Drought Experiment, in Germany, the results show that diversity not only has the capability to increase community’s resistance to drought, but also to increase community’s recovery ability after drought. On the other hand, the results show that the drought environment makes a strong selection on both, the plant phylogeny and functional trait. Yet, ...

The video that presented different aspects of a modern family, parenting, and marriage holds interesting facts that show how science can change the meaning of the word family. The first area that was notable in the video was the emergence of technology that enabled three different individuals to become the parents of a child, including the surrogate mother. The video made me understood that the modern family is far different from what it was centuries ago. For instance, the legality of same sex marriage gave way to the new meaning of the word parents.

People will do anything for money, including committing crimes, and those crimes can end up leading them to jail or other criminal punishment. In Anthony’s Intervention episode, his addiction has a significant affect on all aspects of his ...

Gender-Based Mental Health Issues

One of the gender- based mental health issues presented in the case study was such as the predominance of the interdependence of an individual in the family.

The complexities of racism, and the ways in which society should end it, remains intriguing fodder for literature. Some of the most intriguing portrayals of these arguments are in Frances Watkins Harper’s “The Slave Auction” and “The Slave Mother,” Luis Valdez’s “Los Vendidos,” and Zitkala-Sa’s School Days of an Indian Girl. While Harper’s direct, anguished portrayals of the evils of the slave trade elicit an implicit argument to stop these practices and end their pain, Valdez is more explicit in his call for aggressive revolution and demolishing of stereotypes, and Zitkala-Sa similarly advocates for a ...

It is always difficult to watch movies about impaired people, let alone see them in real life. However, it is the real life that we must accept. Cinema is an excellent field and sphere to analyze the potential symptoms of characters playing the role of an impaired man or woman.

Watching Forrest Gump one always thinks of the protagonist as mentally retarded (or rather suffering from mental retardation - a congenital form of an intellectual disability ...
