Human Perspective : Discovery And The Principle Of Discovery

Frankenstein, written by Mary Shelley, explores the theme of the pursuit of knowledge and scientific discovery through the main characters; Victor Frankenstein, the Creature and Robert Walton. This pursuit of knowledge drives the plot of the novel, leading Victor to create the Creature in his attempt to break down the mortal barriers that surround him and unlock the secret of life. Robert Walton’s quest for discovery leads him to the North Pole, far beyond the reach of Humans at that time. Ultimately Victor’s thirst for knowledge and scientific discovery did him more harm than good with Victor’s hatred of his creation driving him to death. Frankenstein’s message to the modern is age is simply put as “humans should not meddle in the business of the gods”. Mary Shelley’s is using Frankenstein and the actions of the characters in the novel to warn us that although we have the technology to for example, create a human being, some things are better left to nature. In our quest for knowledge we can do ourselves more harm than good. Through her novel Shelley tells us that on our path of scientific discovery there are some trails better left unexplored.

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.

Can Discovery truly allows us to view life in a new and fresh way? Due to the complex and abstract nature of the concept of discovery, a true sense of discovery harbour's the ability to incite individuals in many differentiating ways as it can be provoked through their different past experiences. The concept of discovery has evidently evoked curiosity and inquisitiveness through the protagonists of both the indigenous play “Rainbows end” composed by Jane Harrison, and also through the novel “The fault in our stars” authored by John Green.

The telescope is an optical instrument designed to make distant objects appear nearer. It contains an arrangement of lenses or mirrors or both that gathers visible light, permitting direct observation or photographic recording of distant objects. (Lacki, B. C. 2011). With the use of telescopes we have been able to learn a lot more about the planets in our universe. It has helped us understand about some of the history of everything around us. Also it has been able to track asteroids and comets or any randomly flying objet in outer space that might become threatening to our planet.

The Age of Discovery, also known by others as the “Age of Exploration”, was a period starting in the 15th century, lasting for over 200 years, and was conceived by the pioneer Portuguese and Spanish explorers in their search for precious metals and very costly spices, such as saffron and cardamom. Although the expansion of knowledge about the world was a good intention, it ultimately turned out be have extremely severe consequences, which its effects are still being suffered to this day!

to its discovery by Europeans. As legal justification for the removing of Indian Tribes from their ancestral lands, Pope Francis V’s Doctrine of Discovery was applied. There are many elements to this doctrine and as time wore on, more and more of them were used by the government of the United States as legal justification for what at its base can be seen as both theft and ethnic cleansing. Each of the ten elements plays an important role in what transpired on this continent and shall be discussed to further clarify the actions taken by the U.S. government.

Discovery is the act of detecting something new, or something old that had been unrecognised as meaningful. The nature of discovery allows an individual a new perspective and view of themselves, others, and the wider world. In The Tempest, William Shakespeare reveals how discovery can lead to a new-found identity, position and view on society. Whilst, in The Eagleman Stag, composer Michael Please reveals how a discovery allow a change in perception of themselves and relationship with others. Regarding both texts, it can be said, from the discovery of the truth, the individual is given the opportunity of a new perspective of themselves, others, and the wider world.

Knowledge, the key to progress, has proven to be a human being’s most powerful and significant weapon. We gain knowledge when we put our brain to work at the problems we need to solve in life. It doesn’t matter what we are trying to accomplish, whether it be creating a new technology or learning how to put together a puzzle, the matter of fact is that both request great examination and research to resolve and learn. Scientific research is a technique used to investigate phenomena, correct previous understanding, and acquire new knowledge. Knowledge could lead us to a possible cure for cancer, an alternative for fossil fuels, and the creation of a revolutionary technology. Nevertheless, all these benefits are a reason why

Discovery inhibits the ability to embrace new beginnings and accept a sense of change whether it is found or forced upon an individual. The places you travel and the people you meet can emotionally revolutionize a self-discovery through unexpected but anticipated terms evoked from curiosity. ‘Swallow The Air’ written by Tara June Winch and ‘The Thing Around Your Neck’ written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie break the inhibitions of vulnerability, as their ideas represented through cultural contexts and values, lead to an overall self-discovery.

Astronomers study the planets, stars, and other celestial objects to try to understand how the universe works. They also study things like collisions, black holes and other things that could potentially affect earth. Astronomers gain information about objects in space from telescopes, and satellites. They can also use mathematical equations to find the positions of planets and stars in our universe. These telescopes and satellites observe light reflected by things such as planets, meteors, or stars in space and use it to make observations. Then the Astronomers job is to collect and analyze the data observed.

A discovery is rarely the endpoint, rather it catalyses a chain reaction of subsequent discoveries to take place, and it is this domino effect of discovering which allows us to gain a new understanding of our world. In William Shakespeare’s ‘The Tempest’ it is evident that Shakespeare is challenging the ‘Age of Discovery’ itself, where he uses a multitude of characters and the discoveries that they make to spark renewed perceptions of society in the audience, hoping that they will come away questioning their world This same message in ‘Fahrenheit 451’, which highlights the battle between power and humanism, something perhaps that has never been more relevant than in our very own society.

The one word to describe “research” is “discovery” and the one word to describe “discovery” is “curiosity”. As the modern world is vastly diversifying everyday it is very difficult for the average simpleton not to be curious how the world around us is changing for the good and the bad. Like any average person, we deal with many hardships within our lifetime, given the amount of resources in the world we can make a change and turn those hardships into history. I promised myself I was not going to be a bystander in my lifetime. When I was at a very young age my father was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Not knowing at a very young age how greatly this would impact my life, this condition had no cure and to this day still does not. As the disease

In both texts, a discovery disrupts social surroundings and challenges social expectations. The text “Away” by Micheal Gow and “Into the wild” (2007) by Sean Penn investigates the universal idea of discovery through the concept of recollection and its link with time. ‘Discoveries, by their very nature, change our ways of thinking and our value’ this quote depicts the overarching concepts illustrated in “Away” and “Into the Wild”. The film “Into the wild” portrays the key concepts of discovery profoundly mirrored through the protagonist, an extremely conceptual person who begins a constructive series of discovery foreshadowed throughout the plot line. Discovery is, broadcasted through the essential themes in the movie, ultimate freedom, materialism,

     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.

Humanity’s interest in unknown world has been universal and enduring. Accompany with human development, discovery the unknown world has become more and more important to human life. Some people think discovery is a good thing. They will tell you how X-ray used by medical professionals to help diagnose and treat a wide range of medical problems. They will also tell you what a mass your life will be if Benjamin Franklin did not discovered electricity. But other argue people think discovery bring disaster to human. They will tell you if Martin Heinrich Klaproth did not discover uranium, maybe atomic bomb would not been invented. Although the question about whether discovery always a good thing has so many
