    Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. Henrietta was a poor southern tobacco farmer who was emitted to the hospital and had her cells taken without her knowledge. Her cells became the most important tools in medicine. HeLa were the first “immortal” human cells grown in culture, and are still alive today. Due to research they say that if you could pile all HeLa cells ever grown onto a scale, they’d weigh more than 50 million metric tons—as much as a hundred Empire State Buildings. HeLa cells helped develop the polio vaccine, uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bombs effects, helped lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning and gene mapping, and have…

As Cisneros shows her first hand experience, and as well shows it through story telling. Yet without telling a biography and going straight to the point she shows emotion by using literary elements. Sandra Cisneros Chose to use metaphors and imagery to express the hard ships of being a Mexican- American women.

    There are many parallels as well as differences between the racial mixing of the US, South Africa, and Australia that we've seen and discussed in class. In the United States, Jim Crow laws and segregation kept white people and black people from living in the same public sphere as each other, similar to Apartheid in South Africa. In the Sandra Laing documentary we see that, while US segregation operated on identifiability--or whether an individual looked a certain race-- Laing's parents are white and by law she is also white. However, Laing's "race" changed multiple times over the course of her life, as laws changed, demonstrating one major difference between American segregation and South African Apartheid: Laing's race depended on the race…

    In this chapter, Dorothy Lee’s reading gave us a good view of different types of cultures and the personal autonomy of the people .Lee believes that “the principle of personal autonomy is supported by the cultural framework" (lee,5) She explores this by comparing our Western society to several north American aboriginal societies. When we think of our society we are only free to do things to a limit. Whether that limit may be good or bad, otherwise our individual autonomy is restricted in this society. The key problem that Dorothy Lee is addressing in this reading is the conflict between individual autonomy and social structure. Lee presents different material from a number of different societies to show “how the principle of personal autonomy is supported by the cultural framework” (lee, 1). She shows that this conflict has been resolved in the aboriginal society. In this essay I will talk about the respect the Natives have for each other’s individual integrity. Lee says “In every society we find some organized social unit; but not everywhere does the social unit provide freedom to the individual or the opportunity for spontaneous functioning; nor do we find a value for sheer personal being” (Lee, 7). In particular I will show how this situation has been resolved, when she talks about child bearing in the Wintu Indian society.…
