Race Is A Biological Myth

41). Racists defended the natural existence of separate races, and claimed that social and psychological characteristics were natural phenomenons as well (Guillaumin, 1999, p. 41). During the 1930 's many scientists started an enduring campaign supporting the idea that physical traits and social customs had no relation to race whatsoever (Guillaumin, 1999, p. 42). The APA (American Psychological Association) claimed that involvement of governmental and legal actions with race during the Nazi regime were based on fallacies and that there was no evidence for biological predisposition in any of them (Guillaumin, 1999, p.

The initial gel electrophoresis results had some issues, as they only showed one student’s PV92 segment, while the other lanes that contained students PV92 DNA segments showed no bands. A reason for why this occurred could be due to lack of the students DNA present. The steps in which DNA was gathered had deviations from student to student, as some could not have swish as vigorously or others had food in their mouths which contributed to the size of the saline rinse suspension. No major error was observed throughout the procedure of the experiment, so error most likely came from the gathering of the DNA from the

Unknown #10 produced no identifiable macroscopic characteristics as a broth, so the first step was to Gram stain a loopful to determine the microscopic characteristics. Gram staining not only helped identify Unknown #10’s microscopic morphology but it also helped ensure the specimen was a pure culture—no other bacteria were visible when Unknown #10 was Gram stained and observed under the microscope. Unknown #10’s key microscopic morphology was that it was a very small, Gram negative bacillus. Though bacilli can possibly form endospores, no empty white centers were visible which suggested that Unknown #10 was not an endospore forming bacteria. No quick endospore stain was performed to validate this assumption since only one assigned organism was endospore forming and unlike Unknown #10, that organism was Gram positive.

They claim that it is unnatural and immoral to alter the gene and DNA in organisms so that we should not do it. Actually, change in DNA is very common and occur spontaneously among living organisms. Approximately 120,000 mutated genes are created each time when one cell undergoes cell division (The University of Utah Health Sciences, n.d.). Many natural things in the environment, like radiation, cosmic rays, UV light and even foods can also change the DNA in organisms. The evolution processes proposed by Charles Darwin also based on changing of DNA in organisms as formation of new species required variation in DNA and genes.

One specific way to closely analyze individuality in the Star Wars films is by looking at the droids and clones. In the prequels, both the jedi and the separatists use their clone and droid armies, respectively, as completely expendable soldiers, making the large-scale battle scenes emotionless. Since both the good and evil sides in this war make their armies in a factory, and both sides use their factory-made soldiers as expendable beings, the good versus evil dichotomy gets blurred. As John C. McDowel states in his book Identity Politics in George Lucas’ Star Wars: “The clones are presented as not being fully human, a consequence of the deliberate constraining of their individuality in the cloning process. They become more like biologically material machines, constructed through an instrumentalizing of life that denies them their own potential for becoming free and equal subjects in their own right” (33).

Introduction Modern DNA testing has made it possible to be able to clone endangered and extinct species, which is why there are many reasons and reasons no to clone extinct species, which is why scientists have been arguing about it for many years. The process of animal cloning is when a single cell is used to reproduce an entire organism in an identical manner. The animal will the have the exact same DNA of the animal it was copied from. Each scientist who is debating this argument has their own idea whether or not animals should be cloned. This report will present the facts surrounding why animal cloning is not of great value to the world.

An example that effectively supports the memory theory and the “same real memory, same person” mantra is the case of Rachel in the film Blade Runner. To give some context, Rachel is a replicant (genetically engineered) who works for the very company that created her, the Tyrell Corporation. She however, does not know she is a replicant and believes she is human. She also can pass the tests designed to reveal people as replicants. All other replicants in the galaxy know that they are not human and have no childhood memories.

Race is a complex topic that can mean various things to different people, especially people from different cultural backgrounds, but one thing that all anthropologists can agree on is that there is no biological basis for race. Early physical anthropologists, like Johann Blumenbach, were convinced that humans could be divided into biologically distinct races, but eventually other anthropologists, like Franz Boas and his students, disproved those false beliefs and exposed race as a cultural construction (Lavenda 9-10). Rather than different “races” being genetically distinct from each other, according to Richard Lewontin, an evolutionary geneticist, there is more genetic variation found within each “race” than between any two “races” (Lavenda

When it comes down to race, many people still judge others by the color of their skin and make assumptions that are most likely false. Therefore coming together no matter what race you are, and not being a racist society is something that Riverside should focus on. No one should be judged by how they look. An article published by the Washington Post, “Ohio town rare history: Races mix freely for nearly 200 years” gives information on the fact that a town called Longtown in Ohio has been a mixed race community for about 200 years. In the town they are taught that color doesn’t matter, and they are not judged in any way in the town.

The Baptism of Satan in Africa 41 One would also realize that Darwin’s unfortunate evolutionary theories and conclusions were based on outside appearances or formalism without any serious thought of the substance within. African, European, or Chinese, every human is made of Body, Soul and Spirit according to 1 Thessalonians 5:23. That also

The train cars did not in any way have anything to do with slavery and everyone in the cars were being treated equally. The cars were split fairly between both races. Lastly, in the Brown v. Board of Education case I think that the Brown family had a strong case and information that was easily backed up. In my opinion, I don’t agree with the court 's ruling, I think that Linda Brown and her family should have won. If schools are turning away people merely because of their race, then there is no way that they schools will ever be made

A Greater Capacity Eliot Andrew Butler, as part of the Chemistry department at Brigham Young University, in his article entitled “Everybody Is Ignorant, Only on Different Subjects,” explains what makes an “educated person” (77). Butler clarifies that the “standard” of an educated person is not only inclusive of Renaissance men. If this were the case, very few people would put forth the effort to reach this bar. However, one can find no effort placed at all if the “standard” is too easy to reach. Butler states that it is important to become educated and one should do so “by his or her own initiative and discipline [that] is consciously, vigorously, and continuingly learning” (78).

So looking at race from a scientific point of view of DNA, races are only different because of how we look. This would make racism be about how we look, which is very vain.

The Savage Reservation is the complete opposite of the controlled and mechanical society of the New World. Every aspect of each society contradicts that of the other. The Savage Reservation is a dystopia for the indians, but is also a home to those who don 't fit in any society, such as John and Linda. The people of the Savage Reservation believe in marriage and family, which is similar to those of our society and contrasts that of the New World. Unlike the people of the New World, babies aren’t born in test tubes, which is one of the reasons why linda moved there.
