Burghardt

One of the most influential thinkers in science, Charles Darwin was a man with an immense devotion to pursuing the relationship between himself and the world around him. In his article on the legacy of Darwin, Burghardt (2009) praised not only Darwin’s genuine interest in culture, human psychology, and all aspects of natural history, but also his “behavioral observations and interpretations of the animals and peoples of the areas he visited” (p.103). His inclination to find reason through observational

departments lacked the same empathy for Angelina’s client. For example, Nigel Melegore, the assistant for health services showed impatience and voiced his irritation because he felt mental illness had no bearing on someone’s lack of hygienic practices (Burghardt & Tolliver, 2010, pp. 45-48). This point of contention caused the meeting to lack productive qualities as they wasted time arguing with each other about the client’s

While the ancient philosophers like Hobbes, Plato, Schopenhauer and the rest could describe and predict the different behaviors and mental experiences, none of them could explain the reason behind the particular behaviors.

that under Section 403 of the Intelligence Authorization Act, the head of an employee's agency may accuse a whistleblower of leaking classified information (Burghardt, 2011). If this were to occur, the simple accusation could lead to the individual's blocking of access to federal pensions, and this is true even if they are in retirement (Burghardt, 2011). One case that involves a whistleblower who has been ostracized is Thomas Drake. Drake is a former National Security Agency (NSA) employee (Bishop

developed by biologist Gordon Burghardt, a scientist or layperson combines scientific knowledge, including behavior studies of the animal and its habit, with a perceptual shift. In a sense, he or she steps into the animal’s world, tries to sense it as it might sense the world, to walk in its shoes – or, as Burghardt put it, wear the snake’s skin. Burghardt, alumni Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, has worked primarily on reptile

of African Americans. As a Civil Rights activist, sociologist, educator, historian, writer, editor, poet, and scholar, DuBois contributed to changing American society today. On February 23, 1868, William Edward Burghardt DuBois was born to Alfred Alexander DuBois and Mary Sylvina Burghardt-DuBois.

In 1885 he migrated to Nashville, Tennessee to attend Fisk University

Animals in Medical Research: Why it Should Stop. Imagine being poked and prodded while being strapped to a table, what would it be like to do this on daily bases against your will for months on end? Perhaps you can ask all the animals who suffer in medical labs everyday. Animals are unable to give consent to being used this way, shouldn't there be a way to protect them from this kind of torture? Although many don't believe that animals deserve rights,protection should be given to animals used in
