Apes Chapter 9

Many forests are dying and that can have a major effect on plants and humans. Forests are dying off because of droughts, deforestation and invasive species. Dying forests can also alter global climate and change how much sunlight is being absorbed in the different hemispheres. Western North American forests are suffering because of the drought while humans are affecting southwestern forests. The removal of forests has different impacts on different parts of the world. In some places, it is a good thing while in other places it is bad. Scientists are trying figure out where and how the surrounding plants are affected negatively and positively.

I believe that I possess a little bit of all of the 10 core values within the honors society, but that of seek growth and progress is the one that fits me the most. I am a very determined person when it comes to school and work, and I am always pushing myself to progress in life and grow as a person. Growing as a person, and pushing myself to progress has made me the woman that I am today.

Some of those values are; respect, service and integrity. Through respect, it is very important to have self-respect and respect for others regardless of differences; treating others with dignity, empathy and compassion has always been a part of my life’s mission. Service has also been a big part of my life, service is commitment that extends beyond one’s own self-interest, and learned to be a sense of personal humility for the sake of a greater cause. Lastly, in having integrity through moral courage, ethical strength and fulfilling the expectations that have been set before me; I can say in confidence that integrity too will help to fulfill the pursuit of the University’s

The Planet of the Apes franchise completely overtook the film industry starting in 1968, after the original film hit theaters. Since then, there has been a reboot, two sequels, merchandise, and even a TV series. This film was such a success for many reasons- its clever allegories to race, religion, and politics, the phenomenal makeup and costume design, the world-building that was almost unheard of in 1968 (maybe even giving inspiration for the world-building in the first Star Wars film which hit theaters in 1977), you name it. However, there is one thing above all that comes to the mind of both film buffs and newbies alike when one thinks of the original Planet of the Apes-- and that is the phenomenal twist ending.

The core values that I was faced with were service, dignity and worth of the person,

Individuals and past experience that most informed me of my values include my parents, my high school teacher Mr. DeLuca and my internship mentor Dr. Henkel. My parents have informed me in values to do the best I can in life and also to show to show respect and kindness to those who you know and do not know. They also have informed me in other values, especially in wanting to pursue a career profession that would contribute to a person’s life. There overall values that they instilled to me help shaped my other values and other participation I had during my high school years. For instance, during my senior year I had a mentor who helped me create a book that would provide an overall big impact to the Hatboro Horsham School District Community. More specifically, we decided to work on a project which was to create a book that would inform students at an elementary school in Horsham to embrace challenges and look at obstacles from a positive perspective. The way my mentor best put it was for our book to have the message of giving advice. He told me to go ahead and think about myself as that young age and how I was. He told me to think about the advice that I would give at that time, now that I am older and much wiser. Continuing further, the book that I created was called “Reach for Grandma”. Mr. DeLuca helped with the overall editing and finalizing of creating of the book such as illustrations, page numbers and researching children books. The book that I ended up creating was

Honestly, I agree with the 5 core values outlined within the first two chapters. However, I do not feel they are feasible nor easily transferable across all cultural values that are expected to harmonize within American society. Furthermore, this “gap” then acts to serve as a visible boundary in which we then feel either affirmed or violated. That is to say, we “Act” when we feel our “freedom” has been jeopardized. Similarly, what freedom is to one person does not necessarily extend to another. Broffenbrenner, a Developmental theorist, explains that we are a product of our Micro (family, experiences, location, inherited traits) and Macro (social climate, the earth, our timeline) universe. In the same sense, none of us could ever the exactly

Proponents theorize that memes are a viral phenomenon that may evolve by natural selection in a manner analogous to that of biological evolution. Memes do this through the processes of variation, mutation, competition, and inheritance, each of which influences a meme's reproductive success. Memes spread through the behavior that they generate in their hosts. Memes that propagate less prolifically may become extinct, while others may survive, spread, and (for better or for worse) mutate. Memes that replicate most effectively enjoy more success, and some may replicate effectively even when they prove to be detrimental to the welfare of their hosts.[4]

Synopsis: About a decade ago, a fatal virus which was called ALZ-113 but best known as Simian Flu, human civilization is mostly disintegrated resulting economic collapse of every country in the world.

The Planet of the Apes movie has given a realistic perception on what the world would be like if apes had full social and economic power, unaware of any other higher power.

Richard Dawkins once described memes as, “being a form of cultural propagation, a way for people to transmit social memories and cultural ideas to each other” (Gil). Memes are a mixture of words and pictures to create a work of art. The goal of a meme is to create laughter and enjoyment for the reader. However, some memes also include social issues or stereotypes going on around the world. One example that demonstrates this is a Frozen meme, which addresses the stereotype that women have a hard time letting things go.

Some people have greatness within, while others achieve greatness. I believe all of my best values were inherited by my parents. Two hard-working people who taught me to be inquisitive and strive for answers. To be hard-working and never settle for the minimum, and to be caring and love everything you put your time into. Ever since I was little my family, teachers, and friends have taught me how to be great, and in this essay I will share with you what they have taught me.

We live in a time consumed by social media. 74% of adults with access to the internet have a social media account as of 2014, and what better medium to propagate memes than social media, where you can connect with thousands of people instantaneously? (Social Networking Fact Sheet) When one hears the word “meme,” they might think about childish jokes spread rapidly throughout the internet, but in reality, memes have no constraints to jokes. A meme is a cultural phenomenon in which an idea is spread rapidly and often altered to fit different demographics. (Dawkins 192)

When Planet of the Apes opened in theaters, few people knew what to expect. To most, the idea of a movie with the premise of a planet full of intelligent apes went against everything they had been taught. The initial attraction was the superb cast, spearheaded by Charlton Heston who portrays Taylor, an astronaut who crashes onto the planet. Heston was joined by many popular actors and actress such as, Roddy McDowell as Cornelius, Maurice Evans as Dr. Zaius and Kim Hunter as Zira. Though the cast may have been the initial draw, the content is what has made the movie Planet of the Apes a classic that will continue to be enjoyed for generations to come.

Respect: In Africa where I am originally from, and in South Korea where I spend my young adulthood, treating elders with respect is very important. For instance, there are special word or expressions used when talking with elders.
