The Endangered And Endangered Species : Diversity

Racial diversity is something that is often discussed on college campuses. As a student who self-identifies as a minority in more ways than one I often feel like I have a pretty good understanding of the subject of racism and race. However, often times when these issue are discussed I learn something new; this was the case when reading the articles this week. This week’s articles examined the issue of race from different perspectives. This allowed me to re-examine the issue in a fuller manner; it also allowed me to question some of my own notions that I hadn’t really challenged before.

INTRO: Prompt: What should “diversity on campus” mean and why? Hook: Does diversity help liberate narrow-mindedness? What exactly is diversity? To say that diversity is approached on school campuses is an understatement to the level of understanding in this increasingly globalized world. By its definition, “diversity” requires inclusion. Are school’s really working toward the inclusion of everyone? This means including color, national origin, socio-economic status, and sexual orientation. Looking at court cases and polls shown in the short articles, “Introduction from Place, Not Race: A New Vision of Opportunity in America” and “The Trouble with Diversity: How We Learned to Love Identity and Ignore Inequality,” their approach to strengthening

A conversation needs to be had regarding the effects of diversity. Diversity in practical terms is the inclusion of people from different walks of life whether it be color, race, or heritage. This topic is one that is sensitive for many people because of the history attached to this subject. In the past decade there has been instances where the supreme court has had to address the topic of “Diversity” to justify this ongoing debate. Like in the supreme court, college campuses have also discussed diversity in their college for a multitude of reasons. Additionally, they too have found many reoccurring problems relating to diversity, which will be addressed in this paper.

Our racial ethnicity is influential in what we do in life, whether it would be with school, personal relations, or even job opportunities. There are many Americans today that hold racial prejudice against people of different color and different ethnicity, which as a result narrows many opportunities that minorities can actually have. In the essay “Race in America: “We Would Like To Believe We Are Over The Problem” Maryann Cusimano Love an associate professor of international relations in the Politics Department at Catholic University, addresses “To “get over” racial problems” (Love 387) we need to acknowledge them as well as the history of those racial problems in order to move forward as a multicultural society. Love reveals a study conducted by The University of Connecticut which shows “19 percent of the 14,000 college

As an upcoming senior in high school, I am about to encounter the college application process, myself. Therefore, this article plays a role in affecting how my application will sway as an Asian-American. I believe that diversity is important in the college atmosphere and in general. We can all learn from each other and the different

As a member of several clubs and organizations, I have always valued the wide range of people you can find within the walls of my high school. If you walk into my Physics lab, you will find me collaborating with a dancer strongly involved in his cultural heritage and a volleyball player in the engineering academy. If you come to my Calculus class, you will see me calculating derivatives with a football player, a snowboarder, a National Honor Society officer, and a painter. The word “diversity” is often used to describe a cross-cultural population, but it is so much more than that. At Bartlett High School, students originate from hundreds of different cultures, with an abundance interests, and participate together in an assortment of activities.

Over time, race relations have progressed in America. Perhaps the most prominent improvement regarding race relations in

Do you know how many endangered species there are in this world today? There are many things that people can do to help save endangered species from becoming extinct. "Mining companies, oil companies, and large-scale agricultural operations all threaten vulnerable species to a certain degree, by nature of their extractive activities, and development of previously untouched areas of land."(Whittaker). Many different species are becoming endangered because of the things that are going on around them, their habitats are being destroyed so they don 't have anywhere to go to be safe

Since the beginning of life itself, some species have lived and prospered while other species have gone extinct never to be seen again by mankind. Because of this, some would claim that extinction is natural and not significantly problematic to the world that we live in. Others, however, understand that due to climate change, habitat loss, and poaching, more and more species are becoming endangered which leads to a chain reaction that can be devastating to ecosystems. Species such as the Chinook salmon, gorillas, tropical sharks, and polar bears are all directly affected by climate change, species such as northern spotted owls, Sumatran tigers, and lemurs are greatly harmed due to habitat loss, and species such as the sea turtle, Javan rhinoceros, African elephant, and the Red-Fronted Macaw are all affected by poaching driving them all closer and closer to becoming extinct.

Another way species can vary is recombination and it shuffles our genes during reproduction to create new gene combinations. Recombination happens when the egg and sperm cells are being made during the process when chromosomes are “crossing over”. During the crossing over chromosomes exchange information to each other. Recombination can also happen to asexual species like bacteria where they transfer genetic information through lateral gene transfer. Furthermore, Variation is important because without it we would all look and act the same. More importantly, another reason why variation is important because they give us aspects on where natural selection can help evolution. For example because of mutation and recombination, they were able to

Within the core of many educational institutions, diversity is a commercial tacit. While every institution cannot offer the same kind of diversity, the endorsement of such exists through various definitions. The Western Association of Schools and Colleges define diversity through the various classes: race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, disability, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, and age (“Statement on Diversity”)

The supporting side also believes that multiculturalism in education is an essential part of college. Studies have found that appreciation for diversity is lacking on college campuses. Evidence shows that among the growing tensions on college campuses, “multiculturalism

Panda is on the endangered species list. It has been categorized in the IUCN list and faces the danger of being extinct. Among the things that make it endangered is that it is threatened by continued habitat loss. Pandas are also characterized by very low birth rate, which means that their numbers will continue to decrease with time. It has also become a target for poaching in those areas where they exist (Johnson and Bonnie 67).

The problem the world faces other than global warming or poverty is species extinction of animals and plants all around the world. Most everyone either knows about or has some small idea that we there is a problem but it can be a complicated subject to talk about. (Tepper 2010) People have normal worries like global warming, pollution by factories and things like genocide in other countries.(Tepper 2010) The problem people should be thinking about and worry about is species extinction and it is nothing new to planet Earth which has had approximately six mass extinction events that have occurred over millions upon millions of years. The words like “mass extinction” is a word that most people find alarming just the sound of that word can make a person think hard about the possibilities. What most people may not know is mass extinction is nothing uncommon for our planet. We know that the eco-system is swiftly losing different species of animals and plants at a huge rate. The scientist believes Extinction is an event that is natural to nature, nature will take a rate of approximately 1 to 5 species every year. Though this rate does not fit the present time and the planet is believed to be losing approximately 1000 to 10,000 species per year and some species are going extinct every day without a lot of people knowing about it.

They can be as heavy as 180+ kg,. They are long. They go through regulating their temperature by returning from deeper, waters that are cool to shallower thar are of course warmer waters.
