In the essay "Building Babies from the Genes Up," Green's argument fits the Toulmin Model. His claim, introduced in the third paragraph, is the inevitability of human genetic modification and the benefits it could have. Green’s essay expands on his position on genetic modification, making his claim clear. To show the inevitability of research on genetics, Green explains in the third paragraph how technology is being developed to identify a person's DNA sequence at a low cost. By explaining that people are already improving genetic technology, Green uses the evidence as part of the grounds for his claim.…
Once upon a time a crab and a monkey were walking together. As they were going on their way, the crab found a rice ball and the monkey found a persimmon seed. The monkey wanted the rice ball, so he proposed a trade. The crab knew it was an unfair trade, but was finally persuaded by the monkey to trade the rice ball for the persimmon seed. They exchanged the two items, but immediately after receiving the rice ball, monkey gobbled it up. The crab took the inedible persimmon seed to his garden and planted. He cared for it every day and it grew and grew, from a seed to a fine tree. One autumn day the crab went out to pick some of the ripe persimmons from his tree, but no matter…

My life as a teenager would soon be coming to an end and my life as mommy would be coming up faster then expected. It all started June 10th 2012, my family and I had just finished eating our dinner celebrating my achievement of getting my GED. I had received cards, gifts, and even some money from my family members for finally receiving this GED after being out of school for my senior year. Everybody was so happy for me even my dad, which was not a very common emotion for him to express towards me. Unfortunately their happiness would soon be long gone. For it was the night before this that I had five different tests all of which said the same thing in different ways, I was pregnant. I was not ready for this kind of responsibility. I was not ready physically, emotionally, and financially to take care of even myself yet now I had to find a way to provide all of those things for a child. I was only seventeen, turning eighteen in July; I was still a child myself. To many people I would be viewed as a delinquent because of getting pregnant. On the other hand, others might have seen this coming since my mom also had me at a young age. Many also believe all teens who get pregnant will fail. Although these beliefs and views from others were in my head at the time, I knew I needed to tell my family I was pregnant, find out how far along I was, and make a life changing decision.…
‘Babies’ is a documentary film which chronicles the first year of life of four babies spanning the globe. Documentarian Thomas Balmès fans out to the grasslands of Namibia, the plains of Mongolia, the high rises of Tokyo and the busy streets of San Francisco in a study of culture, societal structure, geography and tradition, along with parental love and the impact all these elements have on child rearing. In the hunting and gathering society of Namibia and pastoral Mongolia, Balmès follows Ponijao and Bayar and in postindustrial Tokyo and San Francisco we are introduced to Mari and Hattie. While the 1:18 film has no real dialogue, viewers are able to get a distinct feel for each baby’s personality, the role they play within the family structure and perhaps most importantly, the universal undying love the parents display towards their offspring with the ultimate goal to raise happy and healthy children.…
A question still being asked for ages, it has been long debated by philosophers and still studied today. There is still no clear answer and every other person has a different opinion. Depending on one’s answer can, however, shape their moral, social, and political views. Even more than asking do they believe in God. This can barely be listed as a simple yes or no question. Of course man is not born basically good, given by humanity’s history, but that does not mean they are born basically evil.…
How do we become who we are? How much do we control? When do we start becoming who we are? These fundamental questions about human life have motivated research in the natural and social sciences for generations. In the past couple of decades in particular, economics and other fields have been ramping up research to those questions to discover the origins of how we become who we are (Paul, 2010; Barker, 1990). This paper is similarly motivated to help answer those questions. It looks at the relationship between prenatal healthcare and cognitive ability of the child. This topic stems from recent studies on investments in female health (Bloom et al., 2015) and literature surrounding the “fetal origins hypothesis,” as popularized by David J Barker…

As you are the only creature on this island, you will naturally be the king!”…
