Pojman differentiates between strong and weak affirmative action and in his article he focus on strong affirmative action.

Copulation, formation, and gestation, are the stages needed to create an entirely original individual. Inside the mother’s womb, the fetus is holds boundless potential. All men are created equal, but not all men are treated equal. As soon as the baby pops out, it is shackled and branded with labels of sex, religion, race, region, labels that cast babies into the minority or the majority just after birth. The baby then grows up into a world where it may discriminated against, shunned away,…

“ We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. This quote is a direct excerpt from the United States’ Declaration of Independence from Britain, which established principles of equality in America. The ideology that Americans were created equal and had the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” generated the American…

The human brain consists of about 100 billion nerve cells that receives and send messages to other cells through chemical and electrical means (Skaggs, 2013). The main job of the nervous system is to receive data through sense organs, translates messages, process and respond to both internal and external stimuli (Saladin, 2012 p440). Nervous system uses chemical and electrical signal to communicate from neurons to another at high speed. More than 100 billion neurons found in the brain. Basic…

If you search “Women’s rights in the workplace” on the Internet you are likely to find articles that have something to do with women’s rights in the past and how women stood up to discrimination in the workplace in the past. The majority of people in our society, who hear about those events, assume that those things are fixed and that women have equal rights, but that is far from reality.

When looking at the pros and cons of affirmative action and the effects it has had on America and minorities, it can be argued that although the benefits Affirmative Action was supposed to come with seem great, in reality, the benefits are either outweighed by the problems or are…

passive channels. Once the sensory receptors have detected a stimulus, the graded potentials open up sodium chemical gates which cause sodium to enter the cell but, for an action potential to occur the graded potential must reach a certain threshold (-55mv). Once the graded potential reaches its threshold it can now turn into an action potential, the voltage-gated sodium channels open up, and the inside of the cell becomes highly positive due to all of the voltage-gated…

After astrocytes remove glutamate from the ECS, glutamate must be isolated and degraded. Glutamate transporters are bidirectional, so intracellular elevations of glutamate levels will lead to an electrochemical gradient-mediated release if the molecule is not destroyed. If glutamate release is unregulated glutamate accumulates in the ECS and impairs the survival of neurons. Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) helps degrade glutamate into a-ketoglutarate, an intermediary in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA)…

According to The New Webster 's Dictionary, the term justice means, righteousness; equitableness; lawfulness. When thinking about gender equality, justice may feel like an illusion, especially for women. Although, our current time period seems to be the highpoint for feminism, it doesn 't feel authentic for many. Despite all that feminists have fought for in equal rights over the years, women are still getting raped, trafficked, discriminated against and violated. In the workplace, women are…
