Human Genetic Manipulation and the Right to Identity - 0 views

  •  
    With all the scientific advances in human genetics, it won't be long until we are capable of manipulating genes purely for modification. This violates the right of identity by never giving the individual a chance to decide if they want to leave their traits to nature instead of science.

    The article reviews recent news from Arizona government limiting water supply allotted to farmers for 2022 due to the record breaking low of the Colorado river and the status of the drought. It reviews climate changes effects on our western water supply from the Colorado River and Arizona's share of its percentage being cut by an agreement from the early 1900s. The water supply will force farmers into seeking more resourceful ways of farming from drought proof crop to reducing their growing area and crop types but ultimately demands a change in how the western states and Arizona source their water supply as it effects our food supply for the future.
  •  
    It is truly devastating how the drought is affecting the food supply and our farmers in Arizona, there is a need for better water management, and we need a lot more water in Arizona to survive in the intense heat.

    I can't imagine how a farmer feels. The colorado river needs a dramatic change.

Why Don't We Teach Life Skills in our Schools? - 0 views

  •  
    Carol Morgan, a communications professor states her opinions on how she thinks that the educational system should be teaching life skills, one she feels very strongly about is communication skills and how much easier life as children get older would be to have that skill to talk and share with people, she says that she thinks that the history lessons and science lessons are nice to have but unless you're planning on becoming a teacher how often compared to real everyday life skills would you use those other things we learn in school.

We need an education system that excites children - 1 views

  •  
    The article talks about how the educational system need to be more then just math, english, and science but also teach children active life skills and young adults life skills for the future career they may want in the future, teaching that the SAT's isn't the best approach for testing, very well written article that I enjoyed reading.
  •  
    On this topic, so many things to say. I have to admit here the educational system is very different than other countries. What really surprised me, was that the classes like history, biology, chemistry, geography..are optional. I really don't understand how you expect a child to learn and get some general knowledge, if these classes are optional. It is most likely that the child would chose none or one maybe, and then we think oh, the child can learn from internet or TV. But, the child would rather play a game online or watch a movie. The educational system needs readjustment and the curriculum changed in some classes where you have only dry material to study. We live in a society where technology is everywhere in all forms, we should take advantage of that, and create something more attractive to kids with the purpose of learning, almost like a game. I am sure that will attract children, and it will even encourage competition among them. For example, some of the educational apps, we see on all devices.

Trump Administration Restricts News from Federal Scientists at USDA, EPA - 1 views

  •  
    Pres. Donald Trump is now restricting scientist's from sharing their research. Officials at the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) have both let their staff know that they can not discuss research done by the agency or any departmental restrictions with anyone outside of the agency. This includes talking to the news, releasing photos, posting on social media, and more.
  •  
    it is frightening to me that our new administration and President are trying to silence science based departments. The taxpayer funds the research that goes on, and therefore has a right to know the outcomes of what they are funding. Gagging scientists because you do not like or agree with what they are saying is childish and has no place in our government.

    I am so desperate and angry that I wish Mother Nature did something to wake those people up. Maybe a massive earthquake or tsunami will show them how bad of the current state our planet is in.

    How do you explain the duality of scientific evidence logically pertaining to the results of meta studies both proving and disproving climate change effects and signs?
  •  
    dal2124240, you don't when it pertains to our newly elected administration.
  •  
    Again I will ask how do you personally explain the duality of scientific evidence? The last time I check the currently elected administration is not taking English 102 or 101, sharing fact based articles or an attempt there unto pertaining. How do you personally defend your argument against the duality of scientific research; That in the last 30 years the atmosphere over the Antarctic has repaired itself over 150,000,000 square miles despite the increase of carbon emissions?
  •  
    http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/. Here you go Dalton. Now, may I ask where you got your "evidence based fact" from, and do you have anymore from any reputable sources?
