Bioscience Observation
I conducted my observation on January 30, 2017, between the hours of 1140 - 1230 in the Bioscience building on Northern Arizona University campus. There was students in class in room 256, BIO 223- Vertebrate Zoology and traffic of students coming in and out of the building. I observed approximately 80 students mostly white student and very few minorities. The minorities students that I observed during the first part of my observation were just passing through the Bioscience headed to Liberal Arts building and a majority of those students were white. I could actually count how many students that passed by that appeared to be the minority group (Females – 1 Middle Eastern (hijab) and 1 Hispanic. Males – 2 Native Americans, 1 African American

    The dry wallum is a harsh environment that is battered by the sun and wind every day and with a base of porous sand; water availability is very scarce and must be conserved. The abiotic factors in the dry wallum are that the area is exposed to high amounts of sunlight which causes a loss of water in the leaves through transpiration. Since the wallum is so dry and hot; bush fires play a major cycle in the dry wallum which the trees have adapted to cope with. The roots of the plant and tree species have to cope with the leeching of nutrients because of the high porosity sand in the dry wallum.…

    Pros And Cons Of Affirmative Action

    So the median black student has lower credentials than 99 percent of the Anglo and Asian students” (Affirmative action on campus does more harm than good). After the University of California put race neutral policies into effect, there was an increase rate of African American and Hispanic students that attended Berkeley, UCLA and other elite schools. It seems that minority students are drawn to the fact that they were not because of their race. The usual college gives 20 to 30 times more attention to race then class .Even in elementary schools, there have been moments that show that some teachers have racial preference. These teachers have an absence of faith in students’ academic abilities. Students then begin to lose confidents when they attend schools that have racial…

    Annotated Bibliography Urban Violence

    This study was developed due to previous research that found the campus community and other social and personal factors discouraged minority students of color to enroll to universities. The goal of this study was to find unique ways of making minority students of color feel comfortable in these universities, break down any misconceptions they may have and get them enrolled and guide them through the completion of their program. I chose this article because it is an effort that I am truly passionate about. Minority representation in higher education is a great way to move toward elevating stereotypes and really helping people to feel empowered and motivated. This article was peer reviewed and supported by distinguished experts in the field of psychology who study the trends of recruitment and retention…

    Through fossil records from Hyracotherium to Mesohippus to Merychippus to Pleshippus to the Equus, one can see the development of dentition, limbs and skull based on the environment that the horses adapted to with time. Environmental changes from the Eocene to the Holocene brought about natural selection as the horses’ initial characteristics could not adapt. In order to survive, horses evolved traits such as stronger limbs, tougher teeth and others that best fit and adapted to their surroundings. In this lab, we examined these five horse evolution fossils to understand the change in equine morphology in relation to the habitat and the natural selection within the horse population.…

    I think that free earlobes is the dominant trait (Because none of the 20 people I surveyed had attached earlobes). I think that no hair on knuckles is the dominant trait (Because 75% of the people I that surveyed had it). I think that straight hair line is the dominant trait ( Because 75% of the people I that surveyed had it). I don't know whether straight hair or curly hair is the dominant trait (Because it was an even split). I think that no cleft chin is the dominant trait (Because 90% of the people I surveyed had it). I don't seem to exhibit any of the recessive traits shown here. I shared the same chin shape, earlobes and amount of hair on knuckles. I didn't exhibit any trait that was not exhibited in my parents. If an offspring exhibited a recessive trait that neither parent exhibited, it would mean that both parents carried it. I was surprised that none of the 20 people had attatched earlobes. Yes, It is possible that a recessive trait…

    Washington Elementary School Observation

    Washington Elementary School is located in West Orange, New Jersey in a neighborhood where mostly African American and Hispanic businesses and people were surrounding the area. As I arrived to the school or left, I usually only saw minorities in the surrounding neighborhood. This correlated with the students I saw in the classroom I observed, and throughout the school. In the classroom there was a total of 17 students, all of which were minorities. Ten of the students are Hispanic and seven are African American. I did not see too many White or Asian students throughout the school, or in the neighborhood. However, the racial and ethnic demographics for West Orange showed that the majority of the population is White. Statistics on race and ethnicity show that 62.1% of West Orange identify as being White, 17.1% as being Black, 10% as being Hispanic, 8.1% as being Asian, 2.4% as being two…

    Academic Freedom: U.S. High School and College Diversity

    The demographic makeup of todays classroom is rapidly changing Not so long ago in the U.S. it was possible and even probable the overwhelming majority of your classmates were of the same ethnic background. Although it is still possible, in all likely-hood in today’s high school the ethnic and cultural make-up will more likely reflect the surrounding communities in your area and the state in which you live. Similarly, in U.S. College’s diversity is to be expected. In the U.S. Black and Hispanic students are 14.8 and 13.5 percent of the undergraduate student population respectively. According to projections these groups will make up 42 percent of the student population in 2019. This projected increase is mainly attributed to the expected 30 and 45 percent in expected overall growth in Black and Hispanic populations compared to 7 percent growth for white students. (U.S Department of Education Statistics March 2011). It must be noted that this doesn’t account for the myriad of other immigrants from all over the world who also call America home.…

    What Diversity and Multiculturalism Mean to Me

    What does Diversity and Multiculturalism mean to me? I believe that diversity has become so much more than just the basic qualities of race or gender. It now includes all qualities that make everyone unique, as individuals or as part of a larger group. It is also the acceptance, respect, and understanding of these unique qualities that makes diversity work in a given society. Multiculturalism is the system that is centered around the respect for and the promotion of ethnic and or gender diversity in the society. Multiculturalism is the status of several different ethnic, racial, religious or cultural groups co-existing in the same society. Today, in the U.S. we already live in a diverse, multicultural world, where popular culture has introduced us to others’ foods, music, histories, customs, and more. Moreover, the predictions that a multiplicity of infusions from culture to culture will continue unabated – and that we must develop a respect for others if we are to be active, engaged participants in the new world order (Green, 1998).…

The full scientific name is actually diabetes mellitus, or “passing through honey sweet” Diabetes is an extremely common and well known disease that becomes more and more common every day. The disease is based on sugar is the body, or glucose. When your body breaks down carbohydrates, it produces glucose, and essential sugar for the human body. There is a bodily function in which insulin helps the body use glucose, and this process is broken in diabetics. Due to this, the amount of sugar in a diabetic is raised to dangerously high levels.…

    Observation Paper

    Conformity is behavior change designed to match the actions of others. During my research, I found many examples of conformitive behavior. I often related conformity to adolescents due to the fact that they usually do their best to try and fit in when it comes to group settings. This type of behavior can be seen in college students attending educational facilities away from home. Those that are in dorms tend to indulge in drinking even if they aren’t “big drinkers”. They do this to conform to that of others and to be included in the fun and try and fit in. One last example that I will discuss prior to getting into my own observation, was the study that was done my Crandall in 1988 which examined normative social influences involving bulimia in college sororities. Sororities are the true definition of conformity and those that don’t conform are usually not allowed to continue to pledge. In the particular sororities that were examined, Crandall found that it had its own norm when it came to the “right” amount of food to eat and the popularity within the sorority was associated with adhering to this norm. Those that wanted to be a part of the sororities needed to conform to the “norm” and fell into a bulimic state. These girls had to of known this was not healthy for them yet they wanted to continue to become of part of this group and follow the “norm” that was set out. To me, this is just ridiculous.…
