1. According to Google‚ race is defined as “…major divisions of humankind‚ having distinct physical characteristics”. The main word one needs to focus on when reading this definition is the word “physical”. According to anthropological studies and numerous articles produced on the subject of race‚ race is not a valid biological category but a specific category given to a group of people due to heritage. In one article‚ “Mixed Blood” by Jeffrey Fish‚ supports the argument that “… U.S. racial groups

Cancer Epidemiology Cancer is not a single disease; it is a myriad or collection of diseases with many different manifestations as there are many different types of tissues and cell types Cancer is a disease of abnormal gene expression. Cells are constantly evolving and have the natural selection pressures to change Common biological properties of tumor cells: 1) Deregulated clonal cell growth- all cells in a tumor originated from one single cell that acquired mutations that made it deregulated

Organizational structure types[edit] Pre-bureaucratic structures[edit] Pre-bureaucratic (entrepreneurial) structures lack standardization of tasks. This structure is most common in smaller organizations and is best used to solve simple tasks. The structure is totally centralized. The strategic leader makes all key decisions and most communication is done by one on one conversations. It is particularly useful for new (entrepreneurial) business as it enables the founder to control growth and development

Life Span Perspectives There are many beginnings to the study of human development. The study of human developments is a science that strives to discern how people change over time (Berger‚ 2011). To do this‚ developmentalists study all types of people from different age groups‚ ethnicity‚ culture‚ background‚ nationality‚ income‚ and sexual orientation‚ among many other factors. To begin to understand this science‚ one must start by looking at what is being studied‚ some of the major theories
