Rosalind Russell

had a slight effect on my interpretation of my role in society. I was unaware that movies such as Snow White and Cinderella were trying to teach me where I was supposed to fit into society. I never understood why the only accessories for my dolls were either pretty clothes or beautiful furniture. I chose instead to steal my brother’s G.I. Joe toys. Spaceships, jeeps, guns and mountain climbing equipment, was much more exciting than new pots and pans. My Barbie’s were never married or even dating; they were always off on grand expeditions. The women that I picked as role models from movies were always strong and independent. They were always going against what was the normal standard way for a lady to act. My Barbie’s were Rosalind Russell from His Girl Friday, or Katherine Hepburn in any number of movies. They flaunted their lack of need for a man to give them approval. They went against the hierarchy of society as described by Artz (Artz, 384). These women never seemed to be helpless, and while they always ended up with a man, in the end, it seemed to me it was always more on their terms. They never really seemed to conform, it was much more of a compromise. The men in their lives had to accept them on their terms or not at all. From my position, I never really gave much thought to whom minorities might turn to for role models. The only black characters that I can recall from both TV shows and movies are as Leary describes, “servants and buffoons” (Leary,…

Both unconscious and conscious psychological mechanisms influence an individual to a large extent. Psychological mechanisms such as splitting and dissociation affect an individual’s behavior, worldview, and role in their environment. In addition, psychological mechanisms may also impact how an individual responds to the events he or she encounters. Martha Stout, the author of “When I Woke Up Tuesday Morning, It Was Friday” tells stories about how her patients were affected by trauma and explains…

biology to enjoy this story. James Watson takes you on a journey back in time to the Cambridge University where he and Francis Crick would uncover the secret of life. James Watson is a renowned scientist with a very strong ego and personality. This becomes very evident in just the introduction and first few chapters of the book. It is evident that James Watson was highly intelligent. According to Sylvia Nasar in the Introduction of the book, Watson was a “former radio Quiz Kid and…

through X-ray diffraction which was a new technique at the time. With this technique they could not see the atoms in the crystal but they could work backwards from the diffraction patterns and reconstruct the three-dimensional structure that produced the scattering. James Watson, an American biochemistry student at Naples Marine Station, was interesting in DNA. He wanted to join Wilkins team but it was no spare spot for him, so he joined Cambridge University to specializing in X-ray…

There are not many people like Rosalinda Elsie Franklin because she was born in London, England, July 25, 1920 and died in London, England, on April, 16, 1958 Rosalinda Franklin was a Pioneer Molecular Biologist there was no other women scientist with as much controversy she had surrounded her life with work that’s all she wanted to do was work. There was a story about DNA is a tale of competition and intrigue. She had worked so hard to be a scientist from the time she was 15l she all ways…

Shedding light upon what it means to be a scientist and the true scientific process, Watson 's “The Double Helix”, Lynne Osman Elkin’s “Rosalind Franklin and the Double Helix”, and NOVA 's Photo 51, bring together different perspectives of the epic adventure to reveal the truth of the “secret of life” and the often unseen inner workings of the world of science (Watson 197). The journey to the structure of DNA took many trials and errors, yet the most significant moments might be those…

Rosalind Franklin always liked facts. She was logical and precise, and impatient with things that were otherwise. She decided to become a scientist when she was 15. She passed the examination for admission to Cambridge University in 1938, and it sparked a family crisis. Although her family was well-to-do and had a tradition of public service and philanthropy, her father disapproved of university education for women. He refused to pay. An aunt stepped in and said Franklin should go to school, and…

BIOL 1010 ‐ Biotechnology and Society Assignment #1 The Carleton Prize for Biotechnology Saifullah Haji Mohammad Eessa (100965270) October 06, 2015 Carleton University Introduction The group I would like to nominate for The ‘Carleton Prize for Biotechnology’ is comprised of three well-known scientists, James Dewey Watson, an American geneticist; Francis Crick, a British molecular biologist, and Maurice Wilkins, an English physicist and molecular biologist. The three worked…

The story of Rosalind Franklin not only emphasizes the important role od women in the field of science, it also discusses the challenges and obstacles that woman of science faced and continue to face. Although Watson and Crick worked to study the structure of DNA, they would not have been able to complete their research without the Photo 51; a photo stolen from Rosalind Franklin. Although Franklin was so integral to the discovery of the structure of DNA and her work was stolen from her, she was…

Rosalind Franklin an English chemist and X-ray crystallographer was born on July 25, 1920 in London, England. She was most known for her contributions to the discovery of the DNA structure. She was born into an influential Jewish family and at an early age she excelled in her studies, at the age of fifteen she discovered her love to become a scientist. She later on attended Newnham College in 1938 where she studied chemistry. Upon graduating she worked with Jacques Mering who taught her X-ray…
