The Antz have to follow the rules and laws that the queen puts and they have no say in it the colony was an indirect democracy.…
Studying primate dentition is a relatively old topic. There have been many studies conducted to find more information on primate dental morphology. The research is conducted to try and distinguish the relationship between diet and primate dentition. Primate teeth have several functions, but their primary function is the mastication of food. Their dental morphology reflects the various functions demanded by the variety of food types—shearing, chopping, grinding. Generally, incisors function chiefly for cutting, canines for grasping and piercing, and premolars and molars for chewing. Primate diets like: fruits, leaves, and insects, require specialized dentitions. Primates with specialized dental morphologies corresponding to their diets can be placed into one of three categories: insectivore, folivore, or frugivore. Many primate families have similar dental morphology analogous to what category they are in: insectivore, fulivore, or frugivore. Family Lemuridae are mainly insectivores, Family Pongidae are primarily folivores, while Family Homindae are omnivores. Most Families are also frugivores when fruit is in season.…

A government is the political direction and control applied over the actions of members, citizens, or inhabitants of communities, societies, and states. Over the years several types of governments have been created and established to fit a distinct way of living. Every society has a government, and each one is different and/or similar from one another. Various ones are preferred more than others because they are more than likely not to corrupt. The way a government is ran is decided among the citizens of how efficient it will operate.…
Throughout the short story 'The Large Ant' Howard Fast's character Mr. Morgan displays the natural fear humans have against the unknown; by killing it. As a species through history, we have grasped an ideal that the development of superior weapons is supposedly a demonstration of one's technological advancements; though it may also be seen as a compensation for the social fears of that society. As a race the unknown presents us with a great fear. Thus when the idea of an eternal vacuum like space is brought up, we cringe at the thought of it. After the first signals of communication from outer space was received hysteria was spread through the world about it's purpose and meaning. Showing us how easily fear grips our emotions, which drives us to do crazy things to compensate for it.…
In 2012, 16259 people in the United States were murdered and another 1.8 million people were sent to the hospital due to assault. Humans resorting to violence and harming others is a daily occurrence, but why? Is it in our nature, are we instinctively violent, and why is it that these acts are not only happening in the United States but worldwide. Although the average person does not leave their home planning on harming somebody that day, under the right circumstances almost every single person in this world will commit an act of violence. Sometimes these acts are justified, such as when we are trying to protect ourselves or a loved one, but what about the smaller acts that we all do every day. Whether it is killing the spider you see crawling on the wall, or the bee flying around simply trying to do its job. We do not see these as acts of violence but in there essence they are. Why is it that our first instinct is to kill them when they are not causing us any harm? Howard Fast builds on this idea within the theme of his short story The Large Ant, where the narrator kills a creature that resembles an ant, purely out of instinct.…
