The book Fearfully and Wonderfully Made by Dr. Paul Brand & Philips Yancey gives a whole new meaning on what is studying biology. He starts by describing the very first time he saw a cell. He was amazed and from there on he learn how to be a biology student, while still having strong beliefs. He compares the human body as a community. Since each individual cell can live for itself. All cells come together to sustain the larger organism and properly function the way it should be.The analogy in 1 Corinthians 12, compares the human body to the church, where he states how god put each individual cell in its place for a reason. We all are made up of many cells but, we can not function if there are not together as a whole. I like to think that
Deconstruction or poststructuralist is a type of literary criticism that took its roots in the 1960’s. Jacques Derrida gave birth to the theory when he set out to demonstrate that all language is associated with mental images that we produce due to previous experiences. This system of literary scrutiny interprets meaning as effects from variances between words rather than their indication to the things they represent. This philosophical theory strives to reveal subconscious inconsistencies in a composition by examining deeply beneath its apparent meaning. Derrida’s theory teaches that texts are unstable and queries about the beliefs of words to embody reality.

For many year, scientists have been researching and experimenting to understand how life on earth began and what was the turning point. Many studies and research were done in order to answer this question. After many years of research, scientists finally discovered the essence of life to be the cell. In order to consider something alive, the cells in the organism should be able to grow, reproduce, have the ability to process information, and carry out chemical reactions (Freeman 1). Even though cells are small, they are very complex and they are the functional unit in the human body. After discovering the cell, scientists wanted to know what is the structure of the cell. Under a microscope, an english scientist by the name of Robert Hooke was able to first observe the cell under a microscope using a part of a tree (Karp 2). Scientists divided cells into two different categories; eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells; each category has specific characteristics that defines each kind of cell. For instance, eukaryotic cells have a membrane bound organelle called the nucleus as well as ...
It seems at first easy to look to the author when considering lots of the experiences of Fitzgerald and that of his protagonist Anthony Patch. Fitzgerald’s work of ‘The Beautiful and Damned’ was published in 1922, the beginning of an era where prohibition attempted to keep the type of people like Anthony Patch himself from becoming an alcoholic. ‘F. Scott Fitzgerald is known for his turbulent personal life’ so it could be thought that because of his turbulent and unhealthy lifestyle during the aftermath of the success of his first book Fitzgerald chose to take his ‘social context’ and life and place it into a novel thus Anthony Patch was created.
Friedrich Nietzsche introduces the Übermensch in Thus Spoke Zarathustra as the next progression in Human evolution. The Overman (der Übermensch) is an evolved being, and mankind in its present state is simply the bridge from ape to Overman, from beast to a higher form of mankind. This is evident in Zarathustra’s selection of only a few followers as a opposed to addressing the masses to present this new goal of humanity, showcasing the Overman as an overcoming of mankind and an ascension, as well as the depiction of other beings going “under” for the sake of the Overman’s forthcoming. All can be tied to the ecological process of evolution, and Zarathustra’s vision of a future world of evolved human beings. The Overman embodies the progression
The first residents of the Americas were by modern estimates divided into at least two thousand cultures and more societies, practiced a multiplicity of customs and lifestyles, held an enormous variety of values and beliefs, spoke numerous languages mutually unintelligible to the many speakers, and did not conceive of themselves as a single people (Paul Lucas). But however, the Europeans and Euro-Americans came and classified these people(s) into a single identity, simplifying and homogenizing their identity into an inferior racial type: ‘the Savage’. The practices of colonial violence on indigenous people as depicted in the article clearly points out the effects of the Slave traffic during the first years after the 1521 conquest and the practice of branding

Has anyone ever told you that having a family is not important? Well, since everyone seems to talk about how important a family is, what makes it so important? I always hear about how “they are always there for you” which I find to be a nice thought, but inaccurate. What if you had an abusive or ignorant parents? Or how about if you were an orphan? Your parents clearly weren't there for you then, and you could live your whole life not wanting a family. However, there are some cases where you have loving and caring parents that you all love each other happily ever after. After bringing it all around in my head, I came to the conclusion that your future with your family all depends on the type of relationship you have with your family. In Geek Love by Katherine Dunn and Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury, the authors use their character’s actions to illustrate the character’s family relationship.

Wilkie Collins once questioned how “the best men are not consistent in good, so why should the worst men be consistent in evil.” Generally, people find the existence of intrinsic good and evil within people, yet many challenge this concept. Gibran contends that good easily evolves into the traditional understanding of “evil,” and as such, we should see traditional understandings of “evil” instead as misfortune upon the good. Comparably, in Lord of the Flies, Golding portrays an evil within all erupting only when forced into a precarious situation; however, he argues that this innate vulnerability to evil within humans deems humans themselves to be evil.
