In its most basic meaning, “grit” is the bravery, strength, and resolve inside a person. It is the one thing that many public schools try to crush, because it is the single biggest cause of trouble, especially among middle school and high school students. Too many educators believe it is a “spirit” that must be broken, spoon-feeding material to students that isn’t always relevant to the student, or to the student’s career goals. As John Holt explains in his article, “How Teachers Make Children Hate Reading”, “(I asked) questions designed to bring out the points that I ...

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

History of Psychology in Autobiography by Robert Yerkes, was an interesting read filled with insight. Personally, I found much of the overall writing style to be dry and lacking in narrative quality. It was stale and difficult to get through. However, this was not the general point of the reading and, if one kept this in mind and focused on the material, it made the reading more enjoyable. I must say I agree that the author’s father sounds like a bad influence, but I cannot understand why an individual who chose psychobiology as a career and studied it ...

Given the high prevalence of this phenomenon, this paper is an attempt to analyze dissent in non-traditional organizations. The most common areas where people express their dissent are the places where people spend a lot of time. Such places are a ...

1. Explain in general terms the process of DNA replication. DNA replication refers to the process whereby DNA makes its own copy during the process of cell division. During this process, the DNA strands unzip themselves since helicase enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds between the complementary strands. As this occurs, a replication fork is created. Each individual strand (leading and lagging) will be used as templates. A primer attaches itself to the leading strand and the synthesis of DNA begins, whereby DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the synthesized strand. This is a continuous process and occurs in 5’ to ...

Q1. Explain the regulation of the cell cycle

Every cell is regulated by particular checkpoints to ensure that the daughter cells are exact duplications. This is to help guarantee that cell mutations are not passed on to the next generation of cells. In eukaryotic cells, there are three main checkpoints. These are points at which cell replication can be halted until certain conditions are met (Boundless, 2016). The first checkpoint is near the end of the G1 phase. It is here that DNA gets evaluated and checked for damage. If damage has occurred, it either gets corrected or gets prevented from moving on to the next phase ( ...

In the modern world, there has been a trend to redefine the terms and acceptability associated with sexuality. This is perhaps best explicated by the presence of modern-day laws that advertently protect sexuality that is known from the basic laws of nature to be ‘unnatural’. Humanity in the contemporary world has seemingly yet very certainly so, changed the whole concept of sexuality to suit the status quo of modern-day sexuality. Additionally, there is quite a lengthy array of sexual misconduct accorded to humankind by God through the Bible, and that has apparently become a mere ‘conjecture’ to the present ...

The main conflict in Sophocles’ Antigone revolves around the burial of a corpse. Antigone wants her deceased brother Polyneices to have a proper burial, and is decided to have this happen in spite of the obstacles that she may find in her way. On the other hand, King Creon prohibits this because he believes that Polyneices is a traitor, saying that he died “laying waste the land for which he fought” (Sophocles). This obviously clashes with Antigone’s set desire, as the titular character is intent on burying him, claiming that this is right, regardless of what Creon’s ...

Telling one’s, or a community’s, story is subject to complex reductionsims of racial and sexist stereotyping. The subjugation of specific ethnicities, particularly African-Americans, and genders, particularly women, by whites and men respectively represents a clear example of unjustified exercise of power by specific groups over another. Indeed, by belittling and/or demonizing one group by another, only power can be exercised “justifiably”. There is no shortage, indeed, of lenient or more violent means by which a dominating group controls another, subjugated one. The superiority / inferiority duality is probably one most common mechanism adopted by oppressors in order ...

This discrimination is seen when women are placed in servile positions rather than in positions of authority.
