The Creation Of The Universe
193 Words - 1 Pages.... for or against each.
There are many theories regarding , for
example, there is an ancient Egyptian legend that says that Osiris Khepera
created himself out of a dark, boundless ocean called "Nu". Then out of this
ocean, he created the universe. I will be writing about these theories: The Big
Bang theory is what most people believe, also there is a theory called "Steady
State", which is the opposite of the Big Bang theory. There is the theory of an
"Oscillating Universe", which is sort of a compromise between the Big Bang
theory, and the Steady State theory. There is also the religious theory, in
which God created everything.
There are a lot of different theories reg ....

Adolescent Depression: The Under Acknowledged Disease
996 Words - 4 Pages.... has said the reason why depression is often over looked in children and adolescents is because "children are not always able to express how they feel." Sometimes the symptoms of mood disorders take on different forms in children than in adults. Adolescence is a time of emotional turmoil, mood swings, gloomy thoughts, and heightened sensitivity. It is a time of rebellion and experimentation. Blackman (1996) observed that the "challenge is to identify depressive symptomatology which may be superimposed on the backdrop of a more transient, but expected, developmental storm." Therefore, diagnosis should not lay only in the physician's hands but be associated with parents, ....

Astrology
4422 Words - 17 Pages.... of 30 degrees each. these are the famous signs of the zodiac. The
orgins of the names given to each sign extend into the most remote regions of
antiquity. Terrestrial animal gods, whether real or imagined , were one day
projected onto the constellations which, in the Chaldean imagination, they
resembled. This celestial menagerie has furthermore given the zodiac its name,
for in greek, it means "route of animals."
The sun enters the first zodiacal sign, Aries , and then continues its path
through the remaining eleven signs. The twelve signs of the zodiac are: Aries,
Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn,
Aquarius, and Pisces. ....

Genetic Engeneering
815 Words - 3 Pages.... Only you could decide.
A lot of scientists believe that genetic engineering is a revolutionary brake through. With the use of gene technology it is possible to create a ‘perfect’ organism. Useful characteristics can be transferred from one species to another, this includes animals with plants and vice a versa. As a result it is possible to make foods with high resistance to whether, temperature, pesticides, etc. therefore crop quality and amount grown would increase. Another area of genetic technology involves inserting genes into plants to make them immune to common viruses, this could increase the crop production. If the crop production could be increased, ....

Cloning 3
507 Words - 2 Pages.... could instantaneously wipe out the entire population.
Our genetic make-up is what makes us unique. It gives us a sense of
individuality and distinctiveness. If many people had the same DNA, how would we preserve our diversity and sense of self?
Human cloning also raises many ethical and moral issues. Different religious groups regard cloning in different ways, but most agree on one point. Cloning puts the work of God into our own hands. The creation of life then becomes a manufacturing of duplicates instead of a "creative act of God".
It is also important to consider the repercussions of cloning on the cloned individual. Numerous psychological problems may arise if ....

Essay On Evolution
913 Words - 4 Pages.... on the size of the gene pool. If the gene pool is large, the better it
will represent the gene pool of the previous generation. If it is small, its
gene pool may not be accurately represented in the next generation due to
sampling error. Genetic drift usually occurs in small populations that contain
less than 100 individuals, but in large populations drift may have no
significant effect on the population. Another mechanism is gene flow which is
when a population may gain or lose alleles by the migration of fertile
individuals between populations. This may cause the allele frequencies in a gene
pool to change and allow the organism to evolve. The most obvious me ....

Genetic Engineering 3
1929 Words - 8 Pages.... all of the eighty thousand genes, in human DNA, they are making new discoveries weekly" (Reuterlinkextra). With these discoveries comes many implications, In reviewing the literature genetic engineering needs to be banned because of the social, religious, ethical, and legal implications.
The first step to understanding genetic engineering is to know the start of its creation. Genetics achieved its first foothold on the secrets of nature's evolutionary process, when an Austrian Monk named Gregor Mendel developed the basics of how genetics work. Using this, scientist studied the characteristics of organisms for the next one hundred years following Mendel's discoveries. The ....

Radio Waves
803 Words - 3 Pages.... after Heinich Hertz , who first produced radio waves
electronically), which is number of times they pass through a complete cycle per
second; or by their wavelength, which is determined by the distance (by meters)
that is traveled from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next.
Radio frequencies are measured in units called kilohertz, megahertz, and
gigahertz. (1 kilohertz = 1000 hertz : 1 megahertz = 106 hertz, 1 gigahertz =
109 hertz). All radio waves fall within a frequency range of 3 kilohertz, or
3000 cycles per second to 30 gigahertz. Within the range of frequencies, radio
waves are further divided into two groups or bands such as very low frequency (
VLF ....
