Bait Casting Reel Three Main Groups Bass
1,173 wordsThe fog drifts lazily above the murky swamp water as I slowly ease my boat toward an ancient, moss covered cypress tree. A bullfrog croaks its early morning greeting and somewhere off in the distance an unknown creature screeches as the hair on the back of my neck stands on end. The old tree was the site of a recent battle between a monstrous black bass and me. A battle in which the big bass taught me a valuable lesson in humility. I have a lot more respect for her and her kind. She never gave u...

Artificial Intelligence Philosophy World
324 wordsThe unit we studied on eyewitness evidence I found to be rather dry - I couldn't really relate to a whole lot of legal stuff. When it was put in the context of the real-life rape victim I found it much more accessible. The essay topic that I chose seemed again rather dull, although it raised interesting side-issues, like the nature of our society. I tried to think why science was regarded as the best way we have to gain knowledge, and came up with a rather depressing view of society - that it wa...

Infant Mortality Soft Drinks
966 wordsThe American Diet Between 1880 and 1930 American diet underwent the most considerable changes. Levenstein claims that it is easy to explain changes in diet and food habits by different material conditions of life and increased availability (or unavailability) of certain foodstuffs (p. Viii). However, there is much more involved: the physiology of taste, religion, class, status, social and political aspects. According to historian Harvey Levenstein in his book Revolution at the Table: The Transfo...

Jorge Luis Borges William Gibson
1,222 wordsFantasy paper/Science Fiction Perhaps no theme has so attracted the febrile imaginings of postmodern scholars as the creations - and the technological culture - of cyberpunk literature. Cyberpunk science fiction is the apotheosis of post-modernism, in one assessment, dystopian anticipation, in the lights of another, and the only art systematically dealing with the most crucial political, philosophical, moral, and cultural issues of our day, as envisioned by a third. (Schroeder, 331). For such fe...

Dirks Blue Velvet White Picket Fence Frank
1,604 wordsDavid Lynch's Blue Velvet is an exploration of things above and below the surface. This surface is really a borderline between not only idyllic suburban America and the dark, perverted corruption that lies underneath but also between good and evil, conscious and subconscious, dream and reality. Although this division seems quite rigid and clean-cut some of the most important implications of the film stem from the transgressions of these borderlines. In the initial scenes of the film Lynch introd...

Brave New World Huxley Creates
628 wordsBrave New World: The Perfect World? Aldous Huxley's Brave New World presents a portrait of a society which is superficially a perfect world. At first inspection, it seems perfect in many ways: it is carefree, problem free and depression free. All aspects of the population are controlled: number, social class, and intellectual ability are all carefully regulated. Even history is controlled and rewritten to meet the needs of the party. Stability must be maintained at all costs. In the new world wh...

Artificial Insemination Genetic Diversity
715 wordsGenetic Diversity In Agriculture Genetic variation is the raw material for the plant breeder, who must often select from primitive and wild plants, including wild species, in search of new genes. The appearance of new diseases, new pests, or new virulent forms of disease causing organisms makes it imperative that the plant be preserved, because it offers a potential for the presence of disease resistant genes not present in cultivated varieties.

Artificial Intelligence Strong Ai
721 wordsThrough the use of his famous Chinese room scenario, John R. Searle tries to prove there is no way artificial intelligence can exist. This means that machines do not posses minds. The debate between those who are in favor of strong and weak artificial intelligence (AI) is directly related to the philosophy of mind. The claim of weak AI is that it is possible to run a program on a machine, which will behave as if it were a thinking thing. Believers of strong AI say that it is possible to create a...
