Childbirth is a normal part of everyone’s lives. All humans are delivered through childbirth, and those who are born grow into a toddler, a child, a teen and to an adult. While the most known method is vaginal birth, sometimes this does not work because of dangers. The Cesarean section is a type of surgery where the baby is extracted from the abdomen. This method can come with benefits; but with many consequences as well. The C section (as it is often called) is where the delivery of a baby happens

Thesis: Down syndrome is one of the most common genetic conditions but not many know how it develops or the different kinds. Introduction: Attention: Days spent with my down syndrome cousin, in public, means getting stares and even being asked, “What’s wrong with her?”. Although my initial reaction is to be offended, just like anyone with a Down Syndrome person close to their heart, it’s never the answer. Reveal & Relate: I know some of you have stared also, in awe and maybe confusion, and wondered
The whole life of an individual is nothing but the process of giving birth to himself. Indeed, they should be fully born - although it is the tragic fate of some individuals to die before they are born. The thought of embracing a tragic hero in King Lear is what creates an icing on the cake. A tragic hero in King Lear is Lear, who is not eminently good and just, and whose misfortune is brought by error in decision making. In William Shakespeare’s King Lear, the development of Lear is indicated in
the community of The Giver. Is a totalitarian rule the key to utopian success? Totalitarianism is not the key to a Utopia not simply because it is an unjustifiable method but mainly due to the improbability of a Utopia that works in accordance to human nature. By eliminating as much personal variation in favor of sameness and predictability, the community of The Giver has rejected the utopian societal possibilities where people are free to progress society. The result is a dystopia of conformity

The three narratives we have encountered are dissimilar in terms of solving
“Stereotypes are unchanging, oversimplified, and usually distorted beliefs about groups of people.” Humans always tend to organize and simplify their surroundings. These surroundings are not limited to rooms, houses and offices. Social relationships could also be falsely simplified and organized using stereotypes. And by organizing I mean classifying your interactions. For example, you do not let your children play with Hispanics because they are vulgar but instead
Art is really hard to explain, as what Picasso wrote,that we who are trying to explain pictures are usually barking up the wrong tree,saying that we all have our own meanings, definitions and symbols. It doesn’t mean that if we have a different judgment to an art that doesn’t mean we don’t know how to manipulate ideas and conventions. Its because according to Clifford Geertz, people don’t stop talking about art simply because the importance of art enables us to talk about it and makes us gather

: It is difficult for an individual to disobey an authority figure or not comply with the morality of the group or society because they are afraid of the consequences they will face from the authority or the power that is above them.

Would you give everything up to pursue a wild dream of living off the grid? Free from modern stresses and the ever haunting technological presents.

more to humans than just parts, a second is that not all of the kids deserve to be unwound for the fact that not all of them are as bad as they seem and after they are unwound there lives no longer matter,and finally the reason that unwinding is existing in the world is the stupidity of the people of that universe. In the book Unwind by Neal Shusterman, there are many reasons to support the reasoning behind the fact that all lives matter. For example one of them is that there is more to humans than
who was recognised as being the discoverer of the skull. The skull showed characteristics of both apes and the early ancestors of humans, leading scientists to believe that Eoanthropus dawsoni, was the missing link between apes and modern day humans. The skull was the same as a human skull in many ways, however the cranial volume was much smaller than that of a human. Another major difference which lead to the Eoanthropus dawsoni being labelled a fake
