Scientific community Essays

Considering the findings of the Milgram’s experience I do not think the scientific community overreacted. There are guidelines to doing scientific experiments, and one is if the experimented is in any danger the test could be canceled. As I was learning about the Milgram’s research I felt a little uncomfortable, just knowing that the “teachers” are shocking people who answer wrong. Nonetheless, to find out the “learners” were actors it eased my mind. I figured the experiment was very informative

The Webster Dictionary defines “perfection” as “the quality or state of being saintly”. However, humans have always had difficulty defining perfection and have constantly tried to achieve perfection in order to obtain its true meaning. In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story, “The Birthmark,” Hawthorne dives into the real meaning of perfection and how to achieve such divinity through the characters of Aylmer and Georgiana. In a creative response to the story, I have found a “Moral Machine” activity

Charles Darwin was an incredibly influential scientist whose Theory of Evolution changed the scientific community forever. His theory assumes that all of life evolved from one common ancestor. He also came up with the concept of Natural Selection, a topic that we often have discussed in class in context to the evolution of different species. Natural Selection is, simply put, the idea that genetic mutations that have evolved to benefit a species are the ones that will remain in the species over time

adulthood, until they can take risks alone at sea. “March of the Penguins” is directed by Luc Jacquet, a Biologist and documentarist. Jacquet is known for his work in documentaries about nature and wildlife. He adds value to his movies because of his scientific training and his talent for narrative films, also

gain acceptance into a DrPH program. Specifically, one focused on community and behavioral health. I hope to solve problems that are related to addiction. I want to educate communities about the realities of substance abuse and treatment. Using my interviewing skills, I would like to identify common themes and goals within specific drug cultures and communities. I plan to use the scientific method, to create and implement community programs based on the acquired qualitative data. Board behavioral

the importance of community capacity to make complex decisions during difficult times of managing an emergency in a community. The purpose of this case study is to examine the perception of college campus emergency management officials and administrators regarding community capacity building on their campus communities. Need a sentence to discuss why college campuses are an important community to explore: Maybe discuss statistics about how many “emergencies” occur in this community or an example of

in giving back to a community or person. Volunteering can range from helping someone with groceries to building a house for a family in need. Although most volunteer work benefits the person receiving help, there are many unexpected benefits that the volunteer experiences as well. Even though most do not expect these benefits, volunteering allows others to make new friends, explore career paths and provide mental and physical health. Like most interactions with one’s community, volunteering allows

A tongue is one of the most important body parts, if that’s what we shall call it, that a human being has. If it was not for the tongue, it would be a very quiet world. Gloria Anzaldúa, born in 1942, near the large Rio Grande Valley of South Texas, was bound to make a difference in lives before she ever knew it. When Gloria turned eleven she started to work in the fields as a migrant worker and then started on her family’s land after the passing of her father. In Gloria Anzaldúa’s the short story

does not necessarily define one's identity and identity does not define language, however it does affect it. Depending on how many languages people know, they are able to decide on what language they want to use in order to communicate with other communities according to their identities.One's identity defines and regulates the use of language and not the contrary.

From my work as a Resident Advisor this year, I have improved my time management and organizational skills. Taking fifteen credit hours, serving as a work-study student, coordinating internships through APPLES Service-Learning, and working as a Resident Advisor are a few of the things that I had on my plate throughout this semester. Keeping up with these responsibilities seems like a somewhat daunting task – what’s the perfect balance between these commitments? Throughout this last year, I found

me as sterile and isolated from the world. Luckily, in downtown Oklahoma City, there is an exception to this stereotype in the form of Dunlap Codding. At Dunlap Codding, they have careful created a kind of community atmosphere that would generally be missing from law offices—and the community that they are promoting is not just between the lawyers and other workers themselves, but also between the law office and the rest of the art district. Through the design of this office—including the orientation

hadn’t eaten in days. He finally called 911 to reach out for help. The responding officers bought him $160 worth of groceries. While the compassionate response was amazing, the thought of this poor man being that disconnected from his surrounding community, that he could go this long uncared for, is devastating. No one should live in that much isolation. As more of the Baby Boomer generation ages, the problem of helping seniors stay connected is a growing one. There are a host of potential dangers

The community to which I belong is defined by many things. We are brought together by mutual pain, hardship, and triumph. In collective action every week or so, we push ourselves, our bodies and minds, to the very limit of human endurance. We sweat together, bleed together, and ultimately we run as one. The community to which I belong is that of cross-country runners, on my team, and across the world. In no other place will you find such a competitive and united group of people. I joined this community

What? On Tuesday, October 27th, I volunteered at YWCA’s Secret Seconds Thrift Shop. The YWCA of Missoula is an organization that provides many services to women and their families in Missoula. Their mission, eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all, is addressed through domestic and sexual violence programs, leadership programs, racial justice initiatives, and housing and rental assistance. The Secret Seconds Thrift Shop is a source of revenue

exist as part of a community, one must sacrifice their individuality; however, quite the opposite is true. Community is the source from which individuality is derived. From birth, humans are social beings who require interaction, connections, and relationships; communities help to fulfill this physiological need. From family and friends, to acquaintances and colleagues, these connections are made, sanity is preserved, and life can continue on as normal. However, without this community of individuals

Making a difference in a community is one of the most important things to do. Anything from blankets to toothpaste can help. In my school they are supporting making a difference by allowing the students to do this. My group had the topic of natural disasters and tried our best to make a difference in a community but it wasn’t our own. For our project we collected 47 coats, hats, scarves, and gloves to donate to a village in Guatemala. This village had recently undergone a natural disaster. The Salvation

Rules Discussion Jonas’s community is a very ruled based community that focus on “sameness.” People in the community never actually experience harsh or unique experiences. Jonas lives in a community that focus on shielding their people from pain, suffering, or negative things. I believe that some rules are socially acceptable such as riding a bike before age 9, because they are things that don’t completely ruin a child's character or thought process. Riding a bike is something simply for leisure

Iowa Greyhound Racing Over the years the Greyhound business in Iowa has been declining. There is a lot of reasons to why this decline has been happening. The obvious and major reason why this is happening is due to the loss of people showing up and betting on dogs. Some people say that it's also due to the casinos that more people are going to the casinos instead of the racetrack. The Dubuque Greyhound Park was built in 1984 and was the very first non-profit racetrack in the country.There

Service is what I love to do. Throughout my high school experience, I have had the opportunity to work in my community which has lead to many rewarding experiences. I have been an active member and Vice President of Latinos in Action (LIA). In LIA, I have had the extraordinary chance to work not only with Hispanic students, but our larger community. We worked with Westvale, West Jordan, and Riverside elementary schools; tutoring students with their assignments and homework. In my sophomore and junior

There are many ideas that come to mind when asked about being a good neighbor. The most important is to give back to the community; volunteerism is key to being a good neighbor. I have shown this in many ways that I will explain further. For five years now, I have volunteered at the Summer Reading program at the Eccles-Lesher Memorial Library. I took up many duties during my time volunteering, such as serving food, helping the children complete their crafts, cleaning, and doing several activities
