On April 10, 1927, Marshall Warren Nirenberg was born in New York City, New York to Harry Edward Nirenberg and Minerva Bykowsky Nirenberg. He also had a sister named Joan N. Geiger. His father was a shirt maker who owned a shirt-manufacturing company in New York. However, young Nirenberg developed rheumatic fever. As a result, the family moved to Orlando, Florida, where the subtropical climate substantially improved his health, in 1939, when Marshall was just twelve years old. Rather than just ameliorating his health, growing up in Florida was what inspired Nirenberg to become a scientist and kindled his love for biology. He became intrigued with the natural world through bird-watching and exploration of the nearby wetlands that had such a diverse ecology. Even as a teenager, Nirenberg was a keen observer of plant life, birds, and insects. He would make careful sketches and take notes of what he saw. Nirenberg was even provided with instructions from professionals, such as biochemists, who were at World War II training camps that were nearby. Nirenberg went to the University of Florida in Gainesville and received his Bachelor 's Science Degree in 1948 and a Master 's degree in Zoology in 1952, with his dissertation for his Master 's thesis on an ecological and taxonomic study of Trichoptera, or caddis flies. He then developed an interest for biochemistry during this time and went to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor to finish his education. Nirenberg
In Baltimore, Maryland, Thurgood Marshall was born into a family of slaves. He came into the world on the second of June, 1908 during a hot summer day. From the time he was a toddler, his father, William Marshall, rooted in him a deep appreciation for America’s Constitution and government. Although he attended racially segregated schools, he was extremely dedicated and was a high achieving student.
With Skinker's help, Carson obtained first a summer fellowship at the Marine Biology Laboratory at Woods Hole in Massachusetts and then a one-year scholarship from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. While at Woods Hole over the summer, she saw the ocean for the first time and encountered her first exotic sea creatures, including sea anemones and sea urchins. At Johns Hopkins, she studied zoology and genetics. Graduate school did not proceed smoothly; she encountered financial problems and experimental difficulties but eventually managed to finish her highly detailed master's dissertation, "The Development of the Pronephoros during the Embryonic and Early Larval Life of the Catfish." In June 1932, she received her master's degree.
Dr. Benson was born in Yonkers, New York in 1935. He attended Wesleyan University and graduated with his B.A in Biology in 1957. He went on to attend Harvard medical school graduating in 1961 with his M.D. Dr. Benson went in to practice but followed his love for research and was part of many ground breaking research studies in what would be referred to as the PNI field later.
During the nineteenth century, Women began to have an important role in natural rights and female education. Dorothea Dix and Mary Lyons spent their life fighting to help better society. Dorothea Dix was tireless in exposing mistreatment of those who were diagnosed with mental illness or who were institutionalized in the 19th century. She helped effect change for thousands of people. Mary Lyon was a female educator. She founded Mount Holyoke College, the first women’s college.
The narratives of Harriet Jacobs and Frederick Douglas were nothing short of powerful as their unique resilience reflected a gruesome upbringing that would then influence audiences everywhere. Immediately the reader is introduced to the gendered distinctions in narratives as Douglas has letters and statements of prominent men reinforce the validity of his work while Jacobs is forced to create a pleading tone for acknowledgement of her experience as a female slave. Although slavery was an excruciating experience that unjustly plagued millions of African Americans, gender roles and constructs allowed for distinct offenses that forced women to experience unique abuse relative to their male counterparts. The narratives of Harriet Jacobs and Frederick Douglas reinforced the trials of slavery with examples of educational hardship, physical trauma and differing aspirations of freedom. These factors and a few others such as motherhood and masculinity influenced their legacy in context of slavery as a gendered experience.
After her graduation in that same year, she was employed at the same university she used to go to. She worked as an assistant professor on teaching zoology. In 1926, Roger Arliner Young received a Master of Science in Zoology from University of Chicago, where she was designated to go to the honor society for biosciences called the Sigma Xi. In 1927 through 1936 she used her summers to do research in a biological laboratory in Massachusetts. It was the top laboratory of the US. It was an accomplishment because she was the first black woman to ever conduct and give research in her field of work. Another accomplishment she has completed is, in 1940, she was the first black woman to receive a doctoral degree in zoology, Ph.D. from University of Pennsylvania. Soon hardships became to overwhelm her. She had many problems such as lots of work and not enough money. In 1935, Dr. Young was not able to teach anymore at the Howard University. Fortunately for Roger, in 1940, she was able to complete her doctoral work at the University of Pennsylvania. From 1940 to around the 1950’s, Roger taught at the North Carolina College for Negroes and at Shaw University, North Carolina. She also taught at colleges for blacks in Texas, Louisiana, and
Thurgood Marshall was born on July 2, 1908, in Baltimore, MD. He was born to his Mother Norma Marshall and Father William Marshall.

Marshall.
Following his high school graduation, Patterson earned a PhD in veterinary medicine at Iowa State College in 1927. He remained at Iowa State until 1927, at which time he was awarded his master's degree in science. Patterson received another PhD, from Cornell University, in
Developed and operated by two men named Harold Butler and Richard Jezak, Denny’s began life as a 1953 Lakewood California donut shop known as Danny’s Donuts. Danny’s Donuts expanded to a six-store chain. When Jezak left the company Butler re-envisioned, developed, and implemented a plan for Danny’s Donuts to include coffee-shop edibles and other food faire. Then in 1956 Butler renamed the company to Danny’s Coffee Shops and went to a 24/7 operational schedule. To avoid confusion with another Los Angeles based restaurant, Coffee Dan’s, Butler changed the name in 1961 to Denny’s Coffee Shops. Eventually the “Coffee Shops” portion of the name was removed leaving the current name Denny’s intact as it remains today.
Thurgood Marshall was born on July 2, 1908 and born in Baltimore, Maryland. Living with his mother, father, and brother. His father William Marshall was a grandson to a slave and worked as a steward at an exclusive club. His mother Norma Arica was a Kindergarten teacher. Thrugood's
In 1908, Theodore Huebner Roethke was born in Saginaw, Michigan. There he was raised by his mother and father, who owned a greenhouse with their uncle. As a child, he spent much time in the greenhouse observing the nature, which greatly influenced his future works. Roethke attended Arthur Hill High School and later graduated magna cum laude from the University of Michigan in 1929. Afterword he took a few graduate classes at Michigan and Harvard, but was unhappy and left (Kalaidjian).
Robert Greenleaf and James Hunter are both experts when it comes to leadership. Greenleaf coined the term “servant leadership” and published his first essay regarding this topic in 1970. Hunter is a world renowned author and speaker because of his leadership forte, and has worked with thousands of business executives on developing leadership skills that create successful businesses (Hunter 1998). Both of these men are distinguished professionals because of their philosophies and approaches to efficacious leadership, but they each have a different approach of how they present and represent these ideas.
The general understanding of democracy is that it is a state of leadership where citizens of a country participate equally either directly or by representative individuals in the establishment of laws, which run the society. However, like many other forms of leadership, democracy has its cons and may not give the citizens the necessary freedoms that they think they have. Different philosophers have different insights on democracy in terms of concepts such as liberty, which they embraced. This paper will look at Benjamin Barber and Joseph Schumpeter’s idea of democracy contrasting their definition in terms of citizenship, obligation, rights and duties of each individual in the society declaring whose idea of democracy creates a compelling vision (Terchek & Conte, 2001).
Edwin Locke and Gary Latham will be the first ones to openly admit there are active limitations with the goal setting theory. It is not uncommon for individual goals to conflict with organizational goals. Moreover, research has proven complex goals have sparked motivation in teams to implement strategies with substantially high amounts of risk (Knight, Durham, & Locke, 2001). Sometimes people will believe higher risk strategies produce the greatest returns, yet high-risk goals consistently result in failure as well (Knight et. al, 2001). Additionally, when individuals simultaneously create two goals there is a greater chance they exert too much energy and focus on achieving just one of those goals. This can lead to one of the goals not receiving enough attention, which can potentially result in the person failing to reach the end result in either goal. In short, these are three common limitations of goal setting that typically draw concerns from other researchers and theorists. However, it is important people are aware of the limitations that do not receive as much attention, such as team goal setting, unethical behavior in high performance goals, and subconscious goals.
Fritz Perls, along with Laura Perls and Paul Goodman, developed Gestalt therapy in the 1940’s (Spillman & Rosen, 2014, p. 202). Fritz Perls was born into a Jewish family, but never fully identified with his Jewish heritage. In Gestalt Therapy: Excitement and growth in the human personality, Fritz Perls promotes the “Gestalt way of life”, which is when individuals become more aware of themselves and their needs rather than to allow external forces to dictate how they live their life (Perls, 1971). In other words, Gestalt therapy’s model could best be summarized by the “I do my thing, and you do your thing. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations and you are not in this world to live up to mine” motto (Spillman & Rosen, 2014, p. 203).
