This report examines and evaluate the Missouri Standard Science Act. I will describe the purpose and the contents of this bill, then discuss the discrepancies that I have found by comparing the definition of terms provided from its common definition, I will also the identify the validity of some arguments provided in this bill, and discern its inconvenience. The Missouri House Bill No. 911 or also known as the “Missouri Standard Science Act” was a legislation introduced in 2003 by the former Missouri

Since Naledi has human and australopithecines features I think she should be placed 2-3 million years ago. I believe Naledi was an early Homo that was in the early stages of the body evolving. In the article This Face Changes the Human Story. But How? it states that “Parts of the skeletons looked astonishingly modern. But others were just as astonishingly primitive—in some cases, even more apelike than the australopithecines.” That means that in that certain group you had a mix of modern human looking

Darwin knew that skin color was one of the most important ways in which people varied. And he was somewhat interested in the pattern of skin color. He knew that darkly pigmented individuals were found close to the equator (closer to the Sun’s UVA & UVB); lightly pigmented individuals, like himself, were found closer to the poles (further from the Sun’s harmful radiation). UVB rays (burning) are absorbed by the epidermis skin layer, and UVA rays (aging and wrinkling) are absorbed by the dermis skin

Five mass extinctions have occurred throughout the history of planet Earth. It is predicted by Author Elizabeth Kolbert, that a sixth extinction may be underway. The Sixth Extinction is a book in the viewpoint of Kolbert and narrates her travels around the globe while she studies numerous wildlife species. Kolbert claims that ¨Those of us alive today not only are witnessing one of the rarest events in life's history, we are also causing it,” (Kolbert, Page 8). Throughout her work, Kolbert claims

Bipeds have adapted various associated morphological qualities that understand challenges postured by frequent bipedalism. These anatomical traits developed over a huge number of years and contrasts exist amongst prior and later Australopithecus, Paranthropus, and Homo species. Australopithecine and paranthropine development speaks to an outstanding stride in the advancement of people on the grounds that these species are among the soonest hominins known to have evolved. Major morphological elements

The central idea of the short story, “The Wife’s Story,” by Ursula Le Guin, is a wolf who finds out she is the wife of a werewolf. To support this the author states, “I saw him, I had to see him, my own dear love, turned into the hateful one” (LeGuin 7, lines 95-96). This quote shows the wife finding out about her husband's “curse,” which is the central idea. The character vs. character conflict of the family finding out about the husband and the character vs. self conflict of the husband changing

In Sasha Costanza-Chock’s 2012 scholarly paper for the Born This Way Foundation & the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, she states that, “youth who have to struggle the hardest develop the strongest connections to social movements.” (3) This statement is supported throughout the course of history making reference to several distinct occasions where the hardships in young people’s lives made them especially motivated for their dissimilar causes. Such as, being involved in

The biological approach which is the oldest approach, stems from the study of biology and the work of Charles Darwin (1809). It wasn’t until the 20th century that biological psychology occurred as a science, prior to this the connection between the brain, mind and body was not understood. The biological approach focuses on genetics and how they affect an individual’s behaviour and the brain and nervous system, primarily the central nervous system. The brain has three main parts the Cerebrum which

We watched Into the Woods by James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim. Honestly, when you said we were going to watch a musical I thought, oh cool it’s going to be like “Phantom of the Opera”, or “High School Musical”, but it wasn’t like that at all. The costumes were pretty cool and the special effects were really awesome. I thought it was going to be really boring and dry, but there were some funny parts. I love the way Sondheim tied the sarcasm in with the release of tension and lesions. James Lapine
