Recommended: How is our world changing

Criteria:
• What else can the government do to change to way legacies of historical globalization played out?
• What does respond to globalization mean?
• What is today’s society supposed to do to help the people influenced in the past?
Position:
• I strongly agree with this statement because, I don’t think there is nothing more people can do to make things better from the past. We can not go back in time and change what happened to the people that were killed, abused, slaved, or hurt in any way mentally or physically. We should stop getting mad at the government “for not taking action” because there is nothing more they can do but apologize a million times for the events that happened. I stand strongly with this position because we cannot change the world, we cannot force evolution on a culture or change of humanity.
• Examples:
• What people can do is act upon what our ancestors have done to make conflict, and stop the killing, the genocides, the slavery, and the abuse of others. An example of this is African slavery; before 1400 slavery existed in Europe leading as a way to repay unpaid debt. Then plantation leaders started capturing Indigenous people and Africans because of their racial origins. This people were then called pieces of private property for the plantations. The owners of the slaves were the true villains, buying and selling of these people that’s were being torture to work with no pay and unbelievable condition. After years and years of these innocent people dying and being tortured, the government stepped in. The United Nations adopted The Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10, 1948. Article 4 states: 'No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited ...

...ter Stephen Harper apologizes on the behavior of Canadians. The government took action and put a stop to the residential schools. Today’s contemporary society responded to the behavior of the Canadian and acted upon the conflict, which occurred in the past. What else can the government do to change to way legacies of historical globalization played out in this remark? What else do you want the government to do? They cannot change what happened in the past they can only act upon it and that’s what they did.

    Mutations in Nature and Culture Many other words, both positive and negative, spring to mind when one hears the word "mutation." In a scientific sense, one might think of the random variations that lead to evolution in species. In a sci-fi/ horror flick sense, one might think of a vicious monster that after contact with some radioactive substance became terribly disfigured. But rarely do we associate mutations with ideas pervasive to our culture. Daniel Dennett suggests that memes undergo a

    In “The Moral Instinct”, Steven Pinker argues for a sixth sense that humans have that is morality. This sense, just like the other five, can be skewed and mislead by evolution and culture of humanity. If humans can remove these illusions, Pinker believes that a universal morality can be achieved. He believes that people are born with a basic knowledge of morality and eventually learn to apply moral reasoning. Pinker explains how secular and evolutionary psychology are corrosive to morality.

    Thermodynamics versus Evolutionism The misunderstanding that the second law of thermodynamics disproves the possibility of evolution occurring gives rise to passionate discussions among evolutionists and creationists alike, however the argument reflects more so a lack of understanding of physics, and science in general, than a lack of understanding of biology and evolution. The statement evolution does not violate the second law of thermodynamics can be made because of correct scientific information, and research

    Evolution vs. Creationism Abstract In the history of science vs. religion there have been no issues more intensely debated than evolution vs. creationism. The issue is passionately debated since the majority of evidence is in favor of evolution, but the creation point of view can never be proved wrong because of religious belief. Human creation breaks down into three simple beliefs; creation theory, naturalistic evolution theory, and theistic evolution theory. The complexities of all three
