ENG 102 Convergence: Summer '12 (12034)

Individually and collectively, this semester's English 102 class will find, annotate, categorize (tag), and share digital resources using Diigo. Although students may bookmark many resources as "private," this semester the professor and students will also share resources. Because some homework assignments will occur here, know the difference between posting something to the group and publicly saving it to your library.

Mr. Spriggs is the last of my human resources. His title is "Senior Fellow for Policy Studies" on the FRC, or Family Research Council. In contrast to Mr. Sears and Mr. Buseck, his research and advocacy is against gay rights.

This article is practically the foundation of my research and without it, my research would be nothing. Some compelling facts in it are that the Ancient Roman Emperor Nero was known to have married at least two men in his lifetime and and Ancient Native Americans who entered same-sex relationships were revered and even considered holy.

This article is vital to my research because it describes the Defense of Marriage Act in an as much detailed and unbiased manner as possible. The Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders have deemed this act unconstitutional because it denies homosexual, married couples federal benefits.

This article is helpful to my research because it tells that President Obama is the first American president to endorse same-sex marriage and by the Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD), declares the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional because it denies same-sex married couples federal benefits. DOMA was enacted in September 1996 by President Clinton that defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman.

  It may not be possible to regrow a complete brain but we may not have to. If medical science was able they could potentially regrow certain cells and parts of the brain that have degenerated that could prove to cure certain diseases like Alzheimers.

Most people including religious persons oppose embryonic stem cell use but most if not all people are willing to experiment or allow adult stem cell use. It seems reasonable because adult stem cell research has been the only one that has proven to give effective results with out harming life. Will this prove to be the future of medicine and if so how soon will it be fully available and what price will the average person have to fork out for its use?

This is showing me that the type of stem cells that i have chosen to focus on are the only ones that have shown any results in curing these illnesses. Will science do a way with embryonic stem cells and gear their efforts toward adult stem cell research or continue to try and use embryonic stem cells?
