The planet has a huge diversity of flora and fauna, with each species uniquely adapted to its own environment. Some species show a greater capacity to adapt to other environments and have spread over time to new areas, colonizing them. Reptiles have a very long history on this planet and have evolved many complex and ingenious ways of adapting to all environments on earth. There are two main ways species spread from one area to another: natural dispersal and anthropogenic spread. Natural spread has
Ecology Essay: Burmese Python I believe that the Burmese Python are very important for many ecosystems. This reptile unfortunately is causing all kinds of damage to ecosystems in the United States, because he doesn’t belong here. He originally lives in southern China but he somehow got to america and is eating everything it can swallow. If this keeps happening then the Burmese Python will eventually be the cause of some species extinction. Because this reptile doesn’t belong here he is called
In his 1844 essay “Estranged Labor”, Karl Marx provides an in-depth analysis of society, specifically economic circumstances, and his unique interpretation of them. Marx offers what can only be considered as a broadminded perspective towards the two types of population in the social order, the workers and the owners, and defends his points well with metaphor and well-supported arguments.

In the early 1960s, Ames Research Center, in conjunction with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) started the Pioneer Jupiter Project. The primary objectives of this project were to explore the environments of Jupiter and Saturn, collect data regarding the outer heliosphere, and to investigate the nature of the asteroid belt that is located between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars. In order to accomplish these objectives, two spacecraft were built. Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11, as
In this essay I intend to analyse the relationship between work and alienation in industrial and post-industrial societies. In particular I will identify the source of this alienation as well as the impact it has on the individual and the society by examining the research of several sociological theorists, including Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, Max Weber and C. Wright Mills. The Transition Subsequent to the Industrial Revolution, which took place in the United Kingdom in the late 1700s, numerous agrarian
Peter Singer is a widely published and known philosopher and ethicist. He has gained attention in recent years due to his controversial views. In this essay I will explore this in the context of his attitude towards end of life decisions – particularly Euthanasia and if it should be legalized in Australia. Singer challenges traditional morality on utilitarian grounds and presents arguments that attempt to justify his views. One argument is a distinction that he draws between a human and a person
Women have, for the most part been considered inferior to men. Similar is in the case of art. Although this may be termed as a misconception by some, it can be articulated by the fact that a majority - if not all - of the well known artists are men. By dwelling further into the realm of art and taking references from Linda Nochlin’s “Why are there no great women artists” and Rozsika Parker and Griselda Pollock’s “Crafty Women and the Hierarchy of the Arts”, including other scholarly texts, I will
