9 Months That Made You Analysis

In today’s society we often base our first impressions of others based on how they look. We outcast people all the time based on their physical qualities, and we often forget that beauty does not only consist of physical traits, it also lies within. This episode shows significant affinity to our society today, people spend thousands of dollars on things such as Botox, and plastic surgeries to fix the way that they look. Looks also affect whether we get a particular job, and fit into a certain group. We often categorize ourselves into particular groups of people that we believe we share similar physical traits with, because we are often afraid of what others will think of us. When they revealed patient 307 I was surprised, I did not predict

Could you imagine having your life set out for you and predetermined and birth, well that is exactly what Niccol, the director of this film visually exhibited. There is a robust fixation on the two terms valid and invalid. In the first seconds of your life, as soon as you take your first breath, you are defined and it is claimed that these characteristics are unalterable. This is the view that society has taken on to generate an idealistic and nearly unflawed society. “Your genetics are your resume” these words portray

The film GATTACA and the short story, “Nine Lives,” exemplifies the ethics of altering human life at the genetic level, through techniques of genetic engineering. Throughout GATTACA, the ability to create improved, even superior forms of human life as a positive development through eugenics is shown as well as arousing questions about the moral implications of such engineering. The main protagonist in GATTACA, Vincent Freeman, battles with the discrimination of being an “invalid” in a world of “valids” and comes to realize that he is not an inferior being in the midst of an altered humanity. In “Nine Lives,” a lone survivor of the ten genetically engineered clones of John Chow struggle come to understand itself in relation to unaltered humanity and its individuality for the first time in its life. A dystopian society is produced when unaltered humans and genetically engineered beings coexist and interact with one another due to nefarious social practices such filtering menial jobs only to “invalids” in GATTACA and the emphasis in the value of clones and their worth to society as collective work group rather than focusing on each individual’s contribution to society. The film GATTACA exhibits the adverse nature of eugenics while “Nine Lives” stresses the importance of individualism instead of collectivism and fend off the need to be reliant on others to feel welcomed in society.

In conclusion, community college is an open book for everyone, where students have a self-discovery when learning while being on able to afford tuition and save money. Writer’s Liz Addison and Rick Perlstein wrote an essay for “New York Times” about a topic: college. Perlstein wrote in “What’s the Matter with College?” that college doesn’t matter as it used to be while Addison fired back with benefits and a recommendation for community college on Addison’s essay, “Two Years Are Better Than Four”. Addison called out Perlstein about how Perlstein has given up on self-discovery when coming about to college as an adult. Addison reminded both audience and authors alike that community is rarely brought up in mediums such as social media. Community

Set in a world governed by genetic engineering, Andrew Niccol’s 1997 film, ‘Gattaca’, portrayed the drastic consequences given to the populace in “ the not too distant future”. The protagonist of the story was a man who challenged the system with the help of a disadvantaged Valid. Vincent Freeman (Ethan Hawke) was born the natural way, his genetic test at birth, stated that he had bad eye sight, heart problems and a “life expectancy of 30.2 years”. Given a pre-determined life as a perfect Valid, Jerome Eugene Morrow, had aspired to be the best, until a suicide attempt left him permanently paraplegic. Both these characters overcame adversity, helped each other along the way, and succeeded in their dreams one way or another.

Quitting the war is a choice you can make but shouldn't make, you have come so far serving the rebellion so why stop now. You spent nine-months in the war only to just to quit. If you are going to quit then what caused to join in the first place. I have decided to re-enlist for three reasons which are: family, glory, and freedom.

The film condemns the false premises of genetic engineering and eugenics that aim to eradicate all ‘undesirable’ traits and imperfections. In this ‘manicured’ world, human passions still seek liberation; people quietly sabotage the rules, loyalty and love continue and individuality survives. The human sprit it suggest remains strong, and can act as a counterbalance to the negative tendencies of an oppressive, controlling society where uncontrolled technology is dangerous, but also

Stephen Covey once said, “Strength lies in differences, not in similarities.” Everyone on Earth has their variations. Those differences are essential to one’s distinctiveness. What exactly makes us “different”? I am Maurice Lee, Jr., and I believe my heritage, scholarship, special interest, and ambition make me different. Friday, October 8th, 1999, 9:48 P.M., in Savannah, Georgia was my arrival on Earth. There I was, a five pound, two ounce bundle of joy born to Katina Lee and Maurice Lee, Sr.

In the late winter of 1999, Jeff and Lori Desrosiers found out that they would be adding yet another girl to their family. They had already been blessed with three beautiful daughters and, to Jeff’s horror, he would still be the only man in the house. Later in the year, on October 3rd, Lori delivered that fourth daughter, and that fourth daughter was me. I was born into this crazy Desrosiers family and got to be apart of all of their lives.

No matter what we look like or how many disease related genes we have, we were all created uniquely in God’s image. Every human being is perfectly imperfect and that is how God meant for it to

Everyone has their differences and challenges they face every day whether we as observers notice them or not. These challenges and differences help define us whether we like it or not but they also serve as unique markers that can bring people together. I was born with

When people are growing up, being normal was the way to be cool. Everyone wants to be like everybody else and that’s the way it goes. What children and many adults still don’t understand is that being different and having diversity is a good thing. It is ok to be different, especially in today 's society. Being able to acknowledge that diversity and disability in everyday life and seeing the good in it will help bring together our society. For my next three paragraphs i 'm going to discuss what it was like to be an outsider, when I experienced diversity and an experience I have had with disability

My immature world revolved around physical appearances. By the time I had turned thirteen, however, it all came crashing down. At that time, I had been diagnosed with Bell’s palsy, a condition that paralyzed the left half of my face and left me with a permanent crooked jaw. When I smiled, the smile came out lopsided, when I spoke, my voice came out slightly slurred, and when I took a picture of myself, the photo came out ugly. I loathed myself as I only saw my one quality as being ugly. Eventually, I met an older girl named Olivia. Olivia defied the social norms of what was considered beautiful. When I had first met her, the most striking quality about her was her skin. Olivia had been fairly tan but all across her body were blotches of which lacked any skin pigment. She had a genetic skin condition called vitiligo. When I asked her about it, she would happily explain to me why her skin had looked so different from everyone else’s, and she did so without hesitation. Whereas my condition would last only for several months, her condition would last a lifetime, but there she was without a single fret about how other people thought of her. Over time, I found out that other people had treated Olivia cruelly because

Madeline got to her main point. She never undergone cosmetic surgeries and treatment because of a very simple reason-because animals were part of this; because of the horrible ordeal that animals are put through for people to produce such technology for human use. A visit to a laboratory decades ago had left a great impact on her. She was

Over the course, I have learned that all people are unique and have their own personal traits and qualities. One person does not just simply fall into one category, but various categories. What is beautiful about all of us is that we all have diverse personalities, traits and qualities. I have learned that we should be proud of and embrace these unique qualities of ours.
