I've been studying geography since grade school as part of the curriculum. It is important to learn geography for it encompasses a wide collection of knowledge pertinent in a students' learning. In geography, we learn the past and present, as well as biodiversity. Some students consider geography as a boring subject for it includes history, this is the reason why we tend to be behind in...

The Linguistic Relativity Argument

The linguistic relativity argument states that "language-induced differences in thought generate different realities" (Collin, 2002, p.81). Finn Collin (2002) identified two premises for the linguistic relativity argument: (1) "Language shapes thought; more specifically, that differences in language translate into differences in thought" and (2) "Through our thoughts, language reality determines the way reality is divided up" (Collin, 2002, p.81-82). In line with this, Collin quotes Edward Sapir who states, "The fact of the matter is that the 'real world' is to a large extent unconsciously built up on the language...

Agriculture and Life Sciences at Texas A&M University: My Roadmap to Success

I often hear people say that a school is considered to be the second home of their children. Needless to say, I also believe and agree with the same principle that home and school have so much in common. Home and school are comparable in establishing rules and regulations to ensure safety of the students. Educationalists are like responsible parents in molding students by providing relevant knowledge to gear them up. Such accepted wisdom motivates and inspires me to take my chance to continue my studies in Texas A&M University.I...

Stem Cell Research

Should the United States Allow Stem Cell Research?From scientific obscurity to moral and ethical pre-eminence, stem cell research; or more specifically embryonic stem cell research, has risen to become one of the major ethical and moral hazards in the 21st century. The controversies are linked to the potentialities carried by this highly advanced technology. At the basic, the controversies are driven by the fear that stem cell research may be used to clone human beings as a way of providing designer stem cells whose uses are as wide as the...

Stem Cell Research is Bad

Stem Cell Research is Bad and Should Not Be DoneStem cell research is conducted in order to obtain advanced knowledge on how an organism will develop from one cell and how healthy cells can be used to replace damaged cells in an adult. Stem cell research has paved the way for scientists to conduct investigations on the likelihood of cell-based therapies in the treatment of diseases, which is often called regenerative or reparative medicine (National Institutes of Health [NIH] 2).Students Frequently Tell Us:How much do I have to pay someone...

Seafloor Magnetic Anomalies

Seafloor magnetic anomalies are “stripes of alternating high and low magnetic intensity running parallel to ocean ridges" (“Sea-Floor Spreading"). These linear anomalies end at fracture zones and have distinctive shapes that occur in predictable patterns across fracture zones as trends. Two scientists from Great Britain, Frederick J. Vine and Drummond H. Matthews, and one Canadian scientist by the name of Lawrence W. Morley were the first to propose an explanation for these anomalies.Their theory rests on the assumptions that the magnetic field of the earth reverses polarity on a periodic...

Hirsch’s Theory

Hirsch's Theory of Schema and Its Role in Cultural LiteracyIn a general sense, a schema is an underlying framework or pattern. In Hirsch's theories of reading and cultural literacy, the idea that people find it necessary to filter information through schemata is central to his contention that common cultural precepts are necessary for effective communication. In this context, a schema is a "unified system of background relationships" that allows the reader to make sense of the "surface meaning" of a text (Hirsch 54). In order to understand the significance of...

The Other Half of the Brain

The author offered an interesting account of Dr. Harvey who performed the autopsy on Albert Einstein and experimented with his brain. It was discovered that the glia cells, so abundantly present in the human brain can be responsible for the Einstein's uniqueness. Located in the association cortex, glia cells are unlike the neurons but were found to have a significant affect on the neurons through (first hypothetical) communication between glia cells and neurons.Through the new findings (Edelman, 1998) it was shown that glia cells influence the formation of synapses that...
