Interview #1 Interviewer (LH): How would you define biology? Interviewee (BM): Um..as a part of life LH: Okay, how would you define life? BM: Uh..everything around you…from the sky to the grass LH: Can you give 5 examples of life and explain why they exhibit life. BM: Plants, because you need them to breathe oxygen, yourself, because you are you, animals, because they are part of the food chain (she flashed a thumbs up here because she was proud she recalled this information), the sun, because you need it to grow and not be moody, and water, water because everything needs water. LH: Nice..what is the smallest unit of life? BM: Um…um..um…I know this… LH: I know you do… (Another minute passed and never recalled despite looking around the room and looking directly at the cell poster) LH: Is soil alive? Why or why not? BM: Yes, because you can make it grow. LH: Is air alive? Why or why not? BM: Um…(about 30 second delay)…I am going to say no… LH: Why not? BM: (she shrugs) LH: Okay, go back to how you defined life. How do you define life? What makes something alive to you? BM: It grows and survives. LH: Okay, so is air alive? BM: No, because it doesn’t grow. LH: One of your examples of life was the human body. What part of the human body makes you most alive and why? BM: Your heart because it makes everything move. Because you can live without a brain, can’t you? You can be brain dead. LH: But once your heart gives out then you are dead? BM: Yes, because you still can live… LH: Without a brain but not without a heart? BM: You can live more without

    The two tasks that were used will be referred to as the ‘phone’ scenario and the ‘file’ scenario. The ‘phone’ scenario involved participants being instructed to walk to the first floor of the Psychology department, collect a key that was placed in an envelope outside of the post room, and proceed to find a lockbox, which was located in the staff kitchen. A mobile phone was inside the lockbox, which participants had to return to the experimenter. The ‘file’ scenario followed a similar sequence of steps, in which participants had to use a USB stick in order to retrieve a file from a laptop, and return it to the experimenter. Similar to the ‘phone’ task, the ‘file’ task was located in the Psychology department, but on the third floor instead.…

    As an Accounting major, I am very interested and have become fond of learning about the varying business aspects within the sports industry. As a result, I decided to conduct my interview with a professional that is associated with the business operations of athletics. The person that I interviewed was Dawn Reynolds, the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Business and Finance here at the University of Miami. After initially getting in contact with Ms. Reynolds a few weeks ago, I was finally able to meet with her briefly and conduct my interview on November 30, 2010, in room 261 in the Hecht Athletics Center. Just to give a bit of background information about Ms. Reynolds, she is from Elmira, New York and now currently resides in Coral Gables, Florida. She graduated from the University of Miami with a major in Finance and started her career at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia where she worked for four years as their budget coordinator. As a past president of the College Athletics Business Managers Association, she was named the College Athletic Business Manager of the Year in 2003 and has since served on various committees including the ACC Finance Committee and chairs the NCAA Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee. She has worked with the University of Miami for the past 20 years and is currently the Chief Fiscal Officer for the Department and is a member of the executive management team. Below is a list of ten questions and answers from the interview I conducted:…

This significant difference calls into question many aspects of life, such as: What is the purpose of life? Does the purpose of life vary between species? Merriam-Webster defines purpose as the reason why something is done, used or exists. I believe that all humans have a purpose distinguishable from other creatures. The following paragraphs will look to demonstrate how human life is different from animal life.…
