Discovery Essay

The “Doctrine of Discovery” was a concept used to further colonization and strip land from the indigenous people. According to Class 7 Lecture, it allowed colonial powers to colonize the land that they discovered even if indigenous people already lived there. The doctrine provides “title to the nation making the discovery” of the land even if the soil is inhabited by natives. Provided the land excluded “European sovereign”. When European powers establish rule in what is now the United States the government was given the ownership of the lands until they felt the need use of the land. The Indians currently residing in the lands were just inhabitants. The doctrine set for by Chief Justice Marshall was set forth to mimic colonial powers and prevent further European expansion on U.S. soils. Following the Johnson v McIntosh case, it established a preventive measure of Indians and Indian tribes from selling the land to anyone but the United States government. This was to prevent European colonies to develop in the United States.

“Today’s living feels like a struggle to survive”,” Money is always a big issue”,” I can’t study if I don’t have the money for it”. That was my way of thinking recently, but a month before this course commenced I started to think differently. I said to myself, “I need to look for more information on how to be able to pay for my studies”, “Student Loans might provide me with the money I need to start studying again”, “I’m going to apply for the President’s Scholarship, writing a 2 page essay explaining why I deserve that scholarship”. My new way of thinking about money brought me my most recent identity as a student in the International Academy of Design and Technology. Then I got my books, including Becoming a Master Student which made me realize even more the power of “Positive Thinking”. Now I know that money may be a primordial need but not an obstacle, that there are resources that can help me achieve my goals. Now I’m confident that by planning ahead and adding additional control to my personal finances I will be able to have enough money to complete my education.

Life is full of challenges. In the stories, “Breaking Through Uncertainty-Welcoming Adversity” and “Neighbours,” written by Jim McCormick and Lien Chao, the main characters illustrate benefits derived from taking risks. Even though both people in these texts undergo personal challenges, in “Neighbours” the character, Sally, receives greater benefits from taking risks than McCormick in “Breaking Through Uncertainty-Welcoming Adversity”.

“The Power of Vulnerability” is one of Brené Brown’s “most popular talk” in TED (“About | Brené Brown, Ph.D.,” n.d.) Here, she discussed what she have found and learned from her long research in human connection, specifically about the concept of vulnerability and its essential role in our everyday life. Brown (2010) started off with the idea that we relate vulnerability to negative emotions and towards the end, she showed that it is the “birthplace of joy, of creativity, of belonging, of love” as well and the “way to live.” Moreover, she suggests that if we “let ourselves be seen,” we expose ourselves to the different things in life that give “purpose and meaning” to us and live a better life out of it (Brown, 2012, par. 1).

Discoveries in DNA, cell biology, evolution, biotechnology have been among the major achievements in biology over the past 200 years with accelerated discoveries and insights over the last 50 years. Consider the progress we have made in these areas of human knowledge. Present at least three of the discoveries you find to be most important and describe their significance to society, health, and the culture of modern life.

The process of discovery refers to the perception created upon experiencing the unfamiliar and redefining what is familiar. Discovery can be achieved through unexpected means or deliberate expeditionary, whether it be tangible or a fragment of our thoughts/imagination/emotions. Poems ‘The Tiger’ and ‘Young Girl At A Window’ by Rosemary Dobson and poem ‘Invictus’ by William Ernest Henley thoroughly explore this concept via their ideology of human nature and its effect on discovery.

To support the theory of continental drift is through topography, surveying the floors of oceans, charts of rock magnetism, and statistics on rock ages (Trefil & Hazen, 2010). At one time scientist believed that the deep ocean floors were flat; accumulating the sediment that progressively wore away from the prehistoric landmasses (Trefil & Hazen, 2010). However, they discovered steep-walled valleys and elevated highlands. This was evidences that just as the continents are transformed and are active, so to is the seafloor (Trefil & Hazen, 2010). The Mid- Atlantic Ridge, positioned in the central part of the Atlantic Ocean, is recorded to be the longest mountain range on this planet. Volcanoes, lava flow, and earthquakes are a source of

Pauline Johnson’s As it Was In the Beginning takes the theory of double consciousness and not only applies it to a different racial group but also pushes it to the extreme where always looking at one’s self through the eyes of another leads to a transformation of the self. Esther is a young girl when she is taken from her Native American home. On the inside she is aware of the person that she is culturally and she recalls, “I wanted my own people, my old life, my blood called out for it” (Johnson147). She found her new “white” clothes less comfortable than her buckskin dresses and her deeply rooted love for nature did not go away with the changing of her clothes. While living at the boarding school, she heard the white people speaking badly about her people and “they always said I must not return to my father’s tepee...I would degenerate, slip back into paganism” (147). Her awareness of the expectations that other people have for her race molded her own perception of herself. She knew that the white people saw her as a savage and after falling in love with a white man her double consciousness helped her realize that to be with him she would have “no more the tepees; no more the wild stretch of prairie...no more the dark faces of my people, the dulcet cadences of the sweet Cree tongue” (149). By being aware of this expectation and being willing to abandon her on ancestry, she acknowledges the power held by dominant groups in society. Laurence professes his love for Esther

Eleanor Roosevelt, the American politician, diplomat, and activist, once wrote “You gain strength, experience and confidence by every experience where you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along. ' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” Discovering one’s individuality, finding oneself, is a discovery that is found through the journey of life. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and Looking for Alaska by John Green reveals protagonists on journeys of self-discovery. These journeys show each character recognizing this self-discovery with a symbol that portrays themselves and their environments while they experience a loss in life which strengthens their character.

     The Age of Exploration was a time of struggle and wealth for many European countries. The pursuit of a trade route to the Far East led many countries across the ocean, looking for the great spice cities that were rumored by Marco Polo. These countries knew that whoever found the shortest or best route would become rich, very quickly. Explorers from many European countries embarked on journeys that not even they had any clue where they were going. This search for the Far East led to many discoveries that would otherwise have never been found.

The topic I will address today is how emotional and intellectual responses are provoked by the experience of discovering. I would like to back up this statement by my two prescribed texts “Mending Wall” which illustrates the encounter with a neighbour through the emphasis of “walls” and “barriers’ the persona recognises how human nature can be greedy, narcissitc and controlling and in “After apple picking” the reader gets to the fact human nature later on come to identify the unforeseen moments of refusing planned achcibements and goals that is funfamental to ones life. These texts are both written by Robert Frost. My related text consists of the movie “the Truman show” starring Jim Carrey and “The Goldfinch” written by Donna Tartt. Through the

When the word scientist is mentioned, the public most commonly accepts this word in a positive sense. Scientists are known to find the cure for diseases and heal people through their research. Not until the genetic revolution have scientists been shunned and viewed as malevolent to the community. When the term genetic revolution is used, I am pertaining mainly to the issue of cloning. After the new discovery by Scottish researchers, who were responsible for creating the sheep that captured the attention of the world, the society's reproduction and moral issues have taken a different meaning in life. Since this new discovery of cloning scientists now have more power than ever and along with this power comes great

The Scirocco was highly successful, and helped bolster VW’s reputation in the North America and Europe.

Science is all about discovery, and learning why things happen. The world is full of mysteries and it takes a special person to desire to discover the answer to the world’s biggest mysteries. Scientists everywhere devote their time and energy to discovering information that will change how people view the Earth. One of the most important discoveries is how our continents were once together and how they divided.
