Lake Malawi’s cichlid male population of fish are tested on their ability to build bowers to attract the female population. Altering this extended phenotype, or ability to build bowers resulted in no change of mating, but males that built successful bowers showed to

In Pessen's article, "The Jacksonian Character," he provides an energetic explanation of the phrase that is the title, but he also writes upon the changing and distinct nature of national character. The example of national character in this writing is the Jacksonian character, made popular during the Jacksonian era of American history. The Jacksonian era is approximately three decades during the 19th century, from 1820 1850 aroundabout, as there is some historical argument as to the exact moment it began. During this period in American history, there was a great deal of expansion westward. New territories were adopted into the continental United States and several other territories actually became states. Andrew Jackson was elected President of the USA for the second time in the 1830s. By the close of the Jacksonian era, the country would be preparing to enter the Spanish American War under President John Polk, yet another huge step toward the American philosophy of "manifest destiny" and westward expansion. The Jacksonian Character, then, describes a trend American character that was somewhat created by the times and a character type that defined them as well.

Howell Edmunds Jackson was a Senator from Tennessee; born in Paris, Henry County, Tenn., April 8, 1832. He is best known for his role in the Pollock Income Tax Decision of 1895. This Tax Decision was when a bill was passed as part of a general reduction in tariffs, although President Cleveland was no fan, letting it become enacted without his signature. Letting a bill become a law without the President’s signature was an enormous stand against the president and Howell Jackson was a part of this type of rebellion.

The goal of a social worker is to help others in tackling whatever problems they are currently facing and pairing them with the appropriate resources needed so that they can lead a productive and healthy life. A social worker lives by a strong value system that is referred to as social justice. According to the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), “Social justice is the view that everyone deserves equal economic, political, and social rights and opportunities,” (2015, para. 2). Paul Loeb, author of the book Soul of a Citizen, writes moving stories of ordinary people who inspire others to want to be better citizens. This paper will be a reflection on how the book made me feel, the affect it has had on my formation as a social worker, any experiences I have had in social justice advocacy and what vision I have of myself as a social justice social worker.

Jimmy Jackson Jr. awoke to the smell of danger. It is a strange smell, yet distinct, a little bit of fear mixed with a little bit of duty. Nonetheless, it awoke him from his 1969 suburbs home, where he groggily got up to reach for his long-range Taser that he left by his bedside. You see, Jimmy Jackson Jr. was brilliant, no one knows where he came from, and all they know is that he was brilliant.

In his book Elijah Anderson tries to describe how life is, living in a black poor community in an American town known as Inner-city. In this area everyone is struggling financially and seem distant from the rest of America. The main social class in this town is the “decent” and the “street” families as the community has labeled them. The labeling by the local is as a result of social contest between the inhabitants. The line between a decent and street family is usually very thin, it’s based on a family evaluation of itself labeling itself decent and the other street. The irony is that families bearing a street label may value itself as decent and still valuing other families’ street. However, this labels form the basis of understanding inner-city community lifestyle. The community has many of the white society middle class values but they know the values don’t hold water in the street. They say it does not provide the attitude of a person who can take care of themselves in the street.

Judson contributes to onefs understanding of sex among different organisms in that she makes difficult concepts simple to comprehend. Although she uses scientific terminology, she limits it so that anyone can understand the technical information she shares. Judson also describes the types of environments in which each species and

The year is 1946 and Laura McAllan is doing her best to bring up her children Bella and Amanda. She lives in the Mississippi delta on her husband Henrys farm. Being raised in the city Laura is out of her comfort zone and is somewhat scared of her new environment. The family is struggling to get by when her husband’s brother, Jamie, and Ronsel, return from fighting in WWII. Jamie turns out to be the exact opposite of Henry. He is good looking, charming, and has dark side brought on by combat in WWII. Ronsel happens to be the son of the black sharecroppers who work and live on Henrys farm. He has returned to his family a war hero. He was an Army Sergeant who served under Patton. However, his time in the Army and his heroic acts defending his country in WWII did not matter in Mississippi. With Jim Crow laws in the south he was still seen as less than human. Ronsel and Jamie, both WWII veterans, formed an unlikely friendship; one that would not be easy to keep. This is a very powerful story that sheds light on the great injustices in American history caused by anything from Jim Crow to the KKK. I chose this book because it is a good example of how race and class influenced the lives of African Americans. Meritocracy is the system where everybody receives equal opportunity to be successful in life. It is well known during the time period in this book that was not the case. The race and class of the individual decided the opportunities at success they

Ferdowsian HR, Beck N (2011) states that currently, the majority of guidelines operate on the presumption that animal research should proceed based on broad, perceived benefits to humans. These guidelines are generally permissive of animal research independent of the costs to the individual animal as long as benefits seem achievable.

The study's authors also hint that the early development of more complex mating systems may at least partly explain

As an evolutionary biologist and feminist, Zuk does not consider eliminating biological elucidations of behavior, but rather the preferences and stereotypes that impact them. She concedes that there are variances among males and females, but we should not be connecting values to such variances. Zuk suggests that a feminist viewpoint can propose a different perspective to biology, one that aids eradicating the gender preferences that ‘color’ our insights. In this book, Zuk exhibits a collection of stories about animal behavior from a varied group of species—from bonobos to beetles. She comprises analyses of these behaviors from scientists, ecofeminists, social scientists, and the mass media, showing how stereotypes and mythologies might fog our interpretations. In addition, Zuk addresses the questions behind certain behaviors and characters concerning their connection to evolution or social habituation. Zuk achieves this with an amusing articulation that keeps readers amused in almost all chapters. She succeeds to create laughter while teaching biological science, revealing double standards, and addressing humanizing stereotypes without damaging the significance of these matters.

The use of animals in scientific research has made dramatic improvements in our understanding of the human race. Despite the controversies that surround this issue, without this process of testing it is certain that much of what is known today towards the quality and quantity of life would remain closed off to us. Over the years, scientists have gained the ability to solve medical problems, cure diseases, and develop vaccines all with the use of animals during scientific research. To believe that the use of animals is merely inhumane and immoral is only the denial of the overall benefits that result from research related to living organisms – humans and animals. Animals used in scientific research has led to substantial advances that are

She overhears that the Abnegation’s leader died to protect something very secret. Tris later asks Marcus about this, but he doesn’t tell her anything. Dauntless and Erudite arrive at Amity Headquarters to detain the Abnegation. During this, one Erudite woman aims at Peter, and Tris saves his life, unintentionally.

Kazuo Ishiguro, although still alive, has already changed the face of the field of literature. He has done this through the variant style with which he writes and the way that his Japanese background influences his writing (Sim). He has a unique writing style that is seldom mirrored in the works of other writers in the same genre (Brownstein). Many critics note that he is always producing different books that have such diverse plots which proves that “the most exciting thing about his work is just this refusal to stand still as a writer, this desire to push the envelope” (Sim). Kazuo Ishiguro is a writer who, like many, enjoys exploring a certain topic or emotion, and he especially liked writing about how regrets and memories affect people throughout life (Taylor). His utilization of memories and regrets helps him make deep meaningful characters who allow people to sympathize with their causes (Taylor). Kazuo Ishiguro’s most important contribution to literature is the variety he adds to his field by incorporating his Japanese heritage, his twist endings that surprise readers, the emotions of memories and regret to allow for realistic characters, and his diverse range of writing.
