How Charles Darwin Defined Honor Through His Theory of Evolution
1. How Did Charles Darwin Define Honor
There are many definitions of honor, depending on the person or the situation, but as a general rule
honor means respect given to someone who is admired (Merriam–Webster) . But to me, honor is
having the courage to go against what people think and act upon what you believe is right for the
greater good. Charles Darwin was an English Natural scientist that had put forward the basic outline
of evolution. His theory of natural selection was first met with harsh disagreement, but was soon
accepted in the scientific community (Biography Online) . Darwin is most remembered for his
theory of evolution, which brought him great fame even long after he departed the world (Egs.edu) .
Darwin believed that "Species survived through a process called 'natural ... Show more content on

Previously, he had been inspired by Charles Lyell's Principles of Geology, which stated "present
conditions and processes are clues to Earth's past history." While on the Beagle's journey, Darwin
sent home a total of 1,529 species that had been maintained in spirit as well as 3,907 desiccated
specimens with labels (Biography Online). A breakthrough in Darwin's studies was when he noticed
certain forms of organisms subsist in particular areas, as well as that a wide variety of organisms had
previously gone through changes that enabled them to stay alive in their particular environment
(Notable Biographies). For instance, he studied the Finch in the Galapagos Islands and noticed that
there are over twelve different forms of this one bird. These bird's beaks were different sizes and
shapes, depending on what food was available in their particular area. The animals on the Galapagos
Islands showed many similarities to other animals in other parts of the world (Biography Online).
Between the discovery of the different Finches along with the similarities of animals from other
locations, he began to wonder if there was something more to earth's history. These observations
would later lead him to his theory

What constitutes an effective leader? Perhaps the most notable is that through actions and thoughts
an effective leader can inspire us. The concepts surrounding leadership remain debatable, since old
theories are still considered and new ones continue to emerge. Regardless, leadership can be
influenced by several factors relating to three main features based on traits, behavior and situation.
Skills are a basic requirement, but traits are essential in leadership. Traits are unique in defining an
individual's character. A combination of strong skills and traits that include emotional intelligence
and knowledge of leadership behaviors become critical factors for a leader to lead effectively. It is

Mattel, a leader in the toy and game industry, saw the need to make some changes in its
organizational culture, strategy, and in leadership development. The company has been recognized
for its efforts by establishing development programs to identify and retain talent. A part of continued
development requires management "...to identify potential leaders and develop succession plans for
key positions" (Mathis 315). As a result, employee retention has strengthened, and the company is in
a better position to operate in an intense competitive environment.
The effective leader will incorporate positive traits and behaviors that are critical when responding
to a situation. It is important to address the issue or concern and try to find the best possible
solution, instead of sweeping it under the rug for later disposal. I believe compromise with
consideration to the other person's feelings, thoughts, or opinions are crucial to reaching a final
solution in any given situation.
Effective leaders should possess a variety of positive traits that include emotional intelligence,
knowledge of leadership behaviors, and the ability to demonstrate an appropriate level of direction
in varying situations or environments. A leader should demonstrate behaviors of inspirational
motivation through vision, idealized influence in behavior, individualized consideration by being
supportive, and intellectual stimulation with encouragement (Kreitner 465). Furthermore, they

children, the Jean–Joseph and Jeanne Roqui Pasteur, taught them to be loyal, respect, financial
security, and hard work. By the year of 1831, Pasteur went to Ecole Primaire and to College d'

Two years later, Pasteur was a professor in the University of Lille, where he helped a helped a
"producer of vinegar from beet juice" (Notable Biographies, 2008). The producer's problem with the
vinegar was that the vinegar would be spoiled and wanted to find a solution to keep it from spoiling.
Pasteur then observed the beet juice with a microscope and found that it had yeast and alcohol. The
action of beet juice and yeast was fermentation. To solve this he heated up the beet juice and
destroyed the yeast. With this, he called this process "pasteurization" (BBC History, 2011). On he
continued, and started to do research on Silkworms. By the year of 1865, Pasteur helped the silk
industry in France. Silkworms were becoming dangerous to the industry because they were ruining
the silk. In four months, Pasteur came up with different methods and solutions to solve the problem.
Despite his great success, his father died, and his two daughters died from the typhoid fever in 1866.
Then his left side of the body was paralyzed due to a cerebral hemorrhage by 1868. However despite

Abstract Fossil fuels are non–renewable sources of energy that were form billions of years ago. The
three different types of fossil fuels in the world include: oil, coal and natural gas. Although each of
the three types of fossil fuels are extracted differently they are all processed and used as the world's
primary sources of energy. Being the world's primary sources of energy, fossil fuel experience
advantages as well as disadvantages as an energy source. The use of fossil fuels, as an energy
source, impact the environment as well as social, economic and political aspects of the world.
Fossil Fuels; Beginning of Existence The existence of fossil fuels stem from the Carboniferous
Period in time (U.S. Department of Energy, Fossil Energy). According to an article from Energy
Source the creation of fossil fuels came about when "prehistoric plants and animals died" and then
buried under the Earth for millions of years (Fossil). The formation of the different types of fossil
fuels depend on a few factors such as: "what combination of organic matter was present, how long it
was buried and what temperature and pressure conditions existed as time passed." (Fossil). Fossil
fuels are considered a non–renewable source of energy because once every ounce of this particular
energy is gone, more cannot be produced. According to an article from Science Learn, "Non–
renewable energy resources cannot be replaced – once they are used up, they will not be restored (or

Society has not changed much since the time of Mary Dyer. Challenges surface

Today, individuals are faced with much discrimination, but religious discrimination
seems to stand out the most. Everyone is left with a choice to make despite what society
has to say. Just like Mary Dyer.
Mary Dyer was a Quaker. Quakers are a group of people with Christian roots.
Quakers believe in equality. They don't like it when others try to be better than what they
really are. Quakers believe that there is God in every single human being. They are
mostly concerned with human rights, social justice, peace, freedom of conscience,
environmental issues, and community life. (BBCNews)
Mary Dyer was born in England. She ended up marrying a man named William
Dyer in London on October 27, 1633. William Dyer was a milliner in the new exchange
and also a member of the Fishmonger's company. Unlike Mary, he was a Puritan. Mary,
and her husband William, were above the average education levels. They were admitted
in the Boston Church after they immigrated to Massachusetts. After William became a

Gaius Julius Caesar was a Roman statesman, general and notable author of Latin prose. He played a
critical role in the events that led to the demise of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman
Empire. In 60 BC, Caesar, Crassus, and Pompey formed a political alliance that was to dominate
Roman politics for several years. Their attempts to amass power through populist tactics were
opposed by the conservative ruling class within the Roman Senate, among them Cato the Younger
with the frequent support of Cicero. Caesar 's victories in the Gallic Wars, completed by 51 BC,
extended Rome 's territory to the English Channel and the Rhine. Caesar became the first Roman

He centralised the bureaucracy of the Republic and was eventually proclaimed "dictator in
perpetuity", giving him additional authority. But the underlying political conflicts had not been
resolved, and on the Ides of March 44 BC, Caesar was assassinated by a group of rebellious senators
led by Marcus Junius Brutus. A new series of civil wars broke out, and the constitutional
government of the Republic was never fully restored. Caesar 's adopted heir Octavius, later known
as Augustus, rose to sole power after defeating his opponents in the civil war. Octavius set about
solidifying his power, and the era of the Roman Empire began. Much of Caesar 's life is known from
his own accounts of his military campaigns, and from other contemporary sources, mainly the letters
and speeches of Cicero and the historical writings of Sallust. The later biographies of Caesar by
Suetonius and Plutarch are also major sources. Caesar is considered by many historians to be one of
the greatest military commanders in history. Early life and career Caesar was born into a patrician
family, the gens Julia, which claimed descent from Iulus, son of the legendary Trojan prince Aeneas,
supposedly the son of the goddess Venus. The cognomen "Caesar" originated, according to Pliny the
Elder, with an ancestor who was born by caesarean section . The Historia Augusta suggests three

John Dillon is one of the most notable Irish politicians of the later 19th century and early 20th
century. He was an avid home rule advocate, a leader in the Irish Parliamentary Party, and a devout
follower of Charles Parnell. He was jailed several times for his political activity within the home
rule cause. In May of 1881, he wrote this letter out of Kilmainham Gaol, where he was imprisoned.
One of the first notable things seen is the actual stationary, which is has black edges. Black–edged
stationery was mostly used for mourning stationary during the Victorian era. It was used when a
family member died. Dillon's sister Christina had died from tuberculosis in December 1880,
prompting him to use the black–edge stationary. Dillon wrote the letter in Kilmainham Gaol, located
in Dublin. It was opened in 1796, and was used to house political prisoners, as well as others.
Notable prisoners held here were Dillon, Dillon's mentor Charles Stewart Parnell, Robert Emmet,
The Invincibles, along with other Home Rule advocates and independence seekers. It was
abandoned in 1924 due to aging infrastructure. Interest in its refurbishment began in 1966. Today,
the gaol serves as a museum open to the public, operated by the Irish Office of Public Works.
The letter was written on of May 30th, 1881, and was addressed to Cowen. This can be presumed to

Question 1: (4 marks)
Construct a timeline to summarise the development of the Periodic Table and the major
contributions made by notable scientists (up to G Seaborg) Question 2: (8 marks)
(a) The elements lithium, sodium and potassium formed one of the original triads used to show that
elements could be 'grouped'. What scientific evidence did scientists have to justify this grouping of
elements?
Johann Dobereiner, a German chemist, suggested the grouping of elements with similar properties
into clusters of three – triads. He discovered that when arranged in ascending atomic mass, in the
case of lithium, sodium and potassium, sodium's atomic mass was approximately the arithmetic
mean of lithium and potassium. There was also a correlation between the atomic numbers, (Li – 3,
Sodium – 11, Potassium – 19) which showed the mean of the lowest and highest atomic numbers
equalled the atomic number of the middle element.
(b) Identify two other triads which were identified during the early construction of the Periodic
Table.
The other two triads are sulfur, selenium and tellurium and chlorine, bromine and iodine.
(c) In 1864, John Newlands observed that the properties of the known elements varied periodically
with their atomic masses. He saw a pattern which reminded him of the musical scale and published

22. The Enlightenment's Era's Most Notable Thinkers
The Enlightenment was a crucial period in modern history for the simple fact that it engendered
some of the thoughts that are directly responsible for contemporary social, political, and religious
institutions. This epoch, along with the Renaissance, helped to spur Western Civilization out of the
Dark Ages and into contemporary conceptions of modernization. Not surprisingly, this time period
is characterized by a number of different seditions and the revolutionary tenets that fueled them
which were markedly at variance with social, political, and religious notions that preceded them. As
these three spheres of life often intersect with one another, there is some degree of difficulty in
isolating their specific causes in terms of respective Enlightenment principles. However, history has
revealed that some of the most distinguishable characteristics of this historical era are its different
ideas regarding the nature of politics and the role of government in ruling over the people, its new
regard for and conception of traditional viewpoints of religion, and a philosophical divergence with
the past in terms of ethics and psychology; a review of the Enlightenment's most notable thinkers
(such as Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin) readily confirms

standing of Pompey, who had realigned himself with the Senate after the death of Crassus in 53 BC.
With the Gallic Wars concluded, the Senate ordered Caesar to step down from his military command
and return to Rome. Caesar refused the order, and instead marked his defiance in 49 BC by crossing
the Rubicon with a legion, leaving his province and illegally entering Roman Italy under arms. Civil

More than sixty years ago, in an uplifting and constantly changing American society, policy making,

are many different theories of power with pluralism being one of them. Pluralism is the view that
power is diffuse and that policy results from interaction between many individuals and groups.
Pluralism assumes that in modern society there are different interests who realize their power
through group activity such as political parties, pressure groups and interest groups. This variety is
necessary and positive. In Robert A. Dahl's book 'Who Governs?' (1961) he focuses his study on

studies on this area in 1957, the program was all essentially in the Mayor's control who gave little to
no credit to the business leaders and republicans from a few years before who had done major work
on the issue. The reaction to Mayor Lee's victory is another crucial aspect in relation to Dahl's claim

Contemporary theorists' debate over ways to increase equality, whilst not taking away freedoms and
reducing the efficiency of society The different contemporary theories, monolithic, pluralistic, rights
based, meritorian, and egalitarian to name a few all have different ideas on how social justice can be
achieved or even if it should be aimed for. To give one person more rights, takes some rights from
another person, where is the justice in that? To give money to one person and not another is not
equal, but who is to say that one person and not the other is deserving of financial assistance? To
give freedom to do whatever one wants creates inequalities in achievements and why should the one
who works be punished by being forced to support the people who refuse to work? Why should the
people who are unable to support themselves and their families be disadvantaged? These are just

Abstract TB has been taunting not only humans, but also animals for well over thousands of years.
Within these years, a great deal of research and experiments have been conducted on this infectious
disease. Many scientists have conducted this research and have made profound discoveries about
Tuberculosis. This paper will explore not just Tuberculosis ' history but rather key information and
important facts about this disease. Such information includes the discovery of antibiotics and

Robert Koch aimed to find the main cause of Tuberculosis; in doing so, he was the first person who
was able to isolate and grow, what he presumed to be the agent that helped produce TB in all living
things. This agent was given the name tubercle bacillus. Koch 's lecture released his knowledge
about the infectious agent and his belief that tubercle bacillus was the active agent in the formation
of Tuberculosis (Stevenson, 2014). According to ("Robert Koch and", 2003), many around the world
consider his presentation in Berlin the most important lecture of all medical history. Robert Koch
soon will be noted as "The Father of Biology" by the scientific community. In the year of 1905,
Koch was given a Nobel Prize for his infamous discoveries about Tuberculosis. After his findings,
there were several attempts to try and find cures for TB. An American citizen in 1943, named
Selman Waksman and his team, made an interesting discovery. They found that fungus named
Streptomyces griseus could produce a substance, later named "Streptomycin", which they used as an
antibiotic on animals with TB. After many tests, Waksman and his team treated the first human
Tuberculosis patient with the antibiotic Streptomycin. The patient was successfully cured of the
disease. It was clear in the beginning of Waksman 's studies that the

40. Born Into Families Without Great Wealth Or Notable Prestige
Born into families without great wealth or notable prestige a thousand years apart, two men
influenced not only literary history but also the ideals of man in a relationship with God. During the
mid–years of their lives, Dante Alighieri and St. Augustine de Hippo studied the religious climate of
their generations and experienced transformations in their lives bringing about personal spiritual
enlightenment. Affected by the state of the church, Christianity, and their moral indiscretions, both
Dante and Augustine wrote responsively towards their personal beliefs and values shaped by
distinctive circumstances. The compositions of Confessions and The Divine Comedy highlight the
spiritual journeys of these two authors. In addition, these ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

Chadwick stated Augustine "did not think of Manichee adherence as a break with Christ, but only
with the Church of which he was highly critical" (Chadwick 2009). However, after several years of
following this type of "religion," Augustine began to become skeptical and harbor doubts about
everything he understood and believed from Mani. Doubt arose to the point that Augustine began a
search to justify the Mani belief system. It was one such moment, "listening to the Bishop of Milan,
that Augustine became drawn to Christianity" (Puchner pp. 46). At first, Augustine intended to only
listen and gain insight from the teaching of others. However, he found himself instead "passing from
Manichaeism into skepticism and soon found his way out of psychological deadlock" (Chadwick pp.
18; 27). Augustine's process of learning came through self–evaluations and heading the words of
trusted friends and fellow scholars of his time.
Similarly, the religious climate of Dante's life dealt with strife, however, during the medieval times
it fell between the rule of the church and emperor. Dante grew up in a family with the means to
provide for an education and he was a student "keen on study and learning" (Musa, 1983). Unlike
Augustine, Dante's path to spiritual realization was a personal journey that revolved around his
personal desires. Instead of focusing inward and spiritually, Musa states, that Dante "applied his
energies to philosophy" and developed his "view of love as the most

Abstract Fossil fuels are non–renewable sources of energy that were form billions of years ago. The
three different types of fossil fuels in the world include: oil, coal and natural gas. Although each of
the three types of fossil fuels are extracted differently they are all processed and used as the world's
primary sources of energy. Being the world's primary sources of energy, fossil fuel experience

46. Adolf Hitler : The World 's Most Recognizable And Notable...
Adolf Hitler, born April 20, 1889, in Braunau am Inn, Austria, grew up to be Germany's dictator in
the 1930s and early 40s, killing millions of Jews in the process. His childhood and young adulthood
may be cited by some as the reason for his oppressive attitude and vicious behavior that would be
very clear later in his profound life. Adolf Hitler, one the world's most recognizable and notable
leaders, lived a life marked by torture and hate, a childhood full of unfortunate events, an honorable
military career, and a defiant vocation as Germany's dictator during World War II. Adolf was born in
Austria, in an upper boarder town east of Munich, and baptized as a Catholic. His family was
middle–class, his father Alois working as a midlevel customs official. Alois Hitler, formerly
Schickelgruber changed his last name to Hitler in 1876, the Christian name of the man who married
his mother as a child. He was never really in contact in many Jewish people, even still it would seem
somewhat odd how he would fall in love with Germany's political ideals at such as young age.
Throughout his childhood, he and his family moved quite often. He was the fourth of six children,
and clashed often with his father, who believed that in order to be successful it would be necessary
for his son to pursue a career in law. It has been reported that young Adolf was a intelligent student,

"How Serious Was The Pre–Revolutionary Financial Crisis Between 1786–88, And How Significant
Was The Clash Between The Notables And Calonne In Failing To Solve It?"
On the twentieth of august 1786 Charles Alexandre de Calonne, comptroller–general of the royal
finances, informed King Louis XVI that the state was on the verge of a financial meltdown. Whilst
not having exact details to the financial figures to show the full extent of the problem, it is never the
less recognized that France was in serious financial difficulty. What then did Calonne propose to sort
this financial mess out? How was he to convince the King and the Notables that France was in
financial danger and to give backing to his solutions? This essay will ... Show more content on

Calonne raised approximately over 420 million livres from 1783–87. Yet he could hardly go on
borrowing for short term investments when clearly what was needed were long term plans to help
France recover. What was then the comptroller–general to do in sorting out this dire financial
situation? Especially when so many options were closed to him. Calonne himself even stated to
Louis:
"I shall easily show that it is impossible to tax further, ruinous to be always borrowing and not
enough to confine ourselves to economical reforms the only effective remedy to take, the only true
means of managing finally to put the finances truly in order, must consist in revivifying the entire
State by recasting all that is vicious in the constitution."2
Put simply, Calonne had come to realize that the financial problems of France were so extraordinary,
that they were beyond financial problems. What Calonne proposed to do was to rework the entire
state: all institutions had to be revamped in order to save France from her financial crisis. He
believed that the state needed comprehensive organization – as a result he felt it necessary to reform
the economy, the government and possibly society in France. Calonne states in his document to

Throughout the history of the Supreme Court, there have been numerous notable court cases.
However, none of these would have been possible without Maybury v. Madison. It occurred in 1803,
when John Adams decided to appoint several justices at the last minute. Not all of these letters were
delivered, and one of the judges, Maybury decided to sue Madison. Madison won, and this court
case creates Judicial Review. In 1819, McCullogh v. Maryland took place. McCullogh, a business
manager, is taxed twice, once at a state level, and once at a federal level. Thinking this is unjust,
McCullogh sues Maryland and McCullogh wins. This court case declares national supremacy over
banking. Another important court case, Gibbons v. Ogden, happened in 1824. Ogden controls a ferry
business in New York. However, because of the Eerie Canal, Ogden can travel to other states, which
would be interstate trade. Gibbons, a person also wanting to create an industry in transportation,
decides to sue Ogden. Gibbons wins, and this case creates national supremacy over interstate trade.
In 1854, Scott v. Sanford took place. Scott, a slave to the Emerson family, traveled to Minnesota
with John Emerson. While there, his owner died and the court declared him free. However, at the
Circuit of Appeals, it was ruled Scott was still property of the Emersons'. This decision stood, which
declared that slaves are property. This was one infuriating cause of the Civil War. Plessy v. Ferguson

Kanye West's new album is soon upon us and fans have high hopes. Apparently, it will not only be

For a self–proclaimed God, this might not be the craziest statement to make. Of course, Ye's claim

successful and critically acclaimed albums. Will the new release be the best album "of the life" or

In the meantime, let us take a look back at Kanye's storied musical career. The following list will
examine one song from each of Kanye's major solo album releases.

horrific traffic accident in 2003. Recorded while Kanye recovered, the song represented something
new for hip hop. It is a clever and funny song chock–full of cultural references. The production is

54. The Notable Vampire is John William Polidori´s Vampire
One of the most notable nineteenth century literary vampires is John William Polidori's vampire.
Lord Ruthven– the man of mysterious past and one of the most charismatic and interesting
nineteenth century vampires– is a Gothic villain that has been used by his creator (Polidori) as a
social metaphor. How is that?
It is worthy of note, as Christopher Frayling claims, that John William Polidori was the foremost
nineteenth century authors whose penchant to blend together components of vampirism into a
coherent literary genre was an immediate success in his ever prominent story The Vampyre. Here
are some testimonial lines taken from Christopher Frayling's book Vampyres: Lord Byron to Count
Dracula. In this book, Frayling writes:" Polidori transformed the vampire from a character in
folklore into the form that is recognized today– an aristocratic fiend who preys among high society"
(Frayling )
In this respect, Senf also writes:"Polidori's work anticipates some of the ways that other writers will
use the vampire as a social metaphor in realistic fiction" (Senf: 39).
On the basis of the evidence currently available, it seems fair to suggest that Polidori' s The
Vampyre is not just a story of a monstrous figure of the vampire from folklore tradition waiting to be
destroyed by a wooden stake through the heart, it is rather that kind of nineteenth century vampire
whose literary presence is highly loaded with metaphorical connotations. For instance, Lord

58. The Union Of Notables And Brienne
After Brienne was appointed, the Assembly of Notables was dissolved and Brienne took the edited
reform package to the Parlama. The Parlama approved the first parts of the package, but when it
came to the land tax there was a problem. The Parlama contended that they could not approve a new
tax. That would have to be done by an Estates General. The Estates General was when
representatives from the three estates came together to approve legislation. According to French law
new taxes could only be approved by said assembly. The king did not approve of them stalling on
this very important issue of state and exiled the Parlama from Paris. Eventually the Parlama reached
a compromise and was allowed back. The compromise helped the kingdom a bit, but was nothing
like the reforms needed to restore financial solvency. When the Parlama returned, deliberations
continued. On one occasion King Louis XVI attended one of the meetings. Right in the middle, he
ordered the Parlama to sign the proposal. This was completely unprecedented and a few members
began to protest. However the Parlama reluctantly signed the part of the proposal they were
discussing. They continued to protest though, so the king called the Estates General. In the
meantime, Brienne worked to undermine the authority of the now detrimental Parlama. Before the

Taking the sales figures from earlier we have Q1=3.5, Q2=13.9, P1=499 and P2=250
Plugging these figures into the equation gives an answer of –1.798.
Since the value is less than one we can say that PS3s are elastic. This means that an increase in price
of 1% will lead to a greater than 1% change in demand.
I also predict that at the current market price this product to be elastic. This is due to the nature of
the product. Being a luxury good, customers are more likely to be price sensitive and also the PS3 is
against strong competition so if the price were to change in favour for or against substitute goods
this is likely to have a strong effect on demand.
Therefore in this case if Sony were to increase the price of the PS3 they would expect to make lower
total revenue. This is because the predicted demand for PS3s would be expected to drop more than
the percentage increase in price could cover.
In conclusion by looking at the recorded sales figures we can clearly see the real implications of the
PS3 high elasticity at work. The high starting retail price combined with a lack of starting
complimentary goods projected poor sales which were then recouped by reducing the price and an

An Examination of Festinger's Cognitive Dissonance Theory and Notable Modifications
Sometimes the greatest test of a theory is its longevity. Over time, some theories will be disproved,
some will be modified, and some will become the basis for a whole new group of theories. Leon
Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance has stood up to challenge for over forty years, and is
considered by many to be the single most important theory of social psychology. Though there have
been modifications to the theory after many recreations and simulations of the original 1957
experiment, few have been able to really disqualify Festinger's findings. It would be safe to say that

to smoke. If I quit smoking now, I will gain weight. I only smoke when I am drinking. I only smoke
after a meal. But the dissonance theory is applicable to much bigger social opinions than smoking,
for example: Aronson and Mills (1959) conducted an experiment in which some subjects were put
through a harsh period of hazing during initiation into a group while other subjects had to endure
only mild hazing. The end result was that the people who went through the sever initiation ended up
liking that group a lot better than those who went through mild hazing. Going against the
reinforcement theory (Aronson,
