Given Sachs’ beliefs‚ values and issues that he wrestles with‚ he has his own vision of development or what the good life looks like that mimics the Westernized trajectory and focuses on economic development as a way to improve culture in societies. His vision of the good life moves beyond the freedom to maximize personal utility which is what neoclassicists argue is the good life. Rather‚ living a good life “means finding a golden mean‚ living by virtue and being able to flourish” (Guo 2014). This

Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive disease that affects the lysosome storage in cells. Over time‚ the disease deteriorates the functions of the body leading to blindness‚ deafness‚ dementia‚ and recurrent convulsions in the terminal stages. Unfortunately‚ its main victims are children‚ who often show the first signs and symptoms at around 6 months old and usually do not live past the age of 5. There is also a juvenile and late-onset form that may not appear until the second or third decade

The author that had the strongest argument is Jeffrey Sachs‚ the author of “End of Poverty”. His assertion is the strongest because it’s stating that we can end poverty by 2025‚ which is only eight years away. I have many reasons why I chose Jeffrey Sachs’s assertion instead of Renee Carver. One reason is that Sachs’s is trying to end impoverishment‚“..the end of poverty a realistic possibility by the year 2025.”(Sachs‚ 291) While Carver is telling her readers‚ how we can use the internet‚ to

8. The debate between Sachs and Easterly are fierce. However‚ it is interesting how they both want the same things for Africa: for them to do well. Before agreeing on either one of them‚ there’s a few things I’d like to point out‚ and look on both the pros and cons.

Genetic Information Tay Sachs is a devastating genetic disease. There are three different forms of the disease- Early Onset which emerges around three to six months of age‚ Juvenile which mainly appears between the ages of two and five but could start anytime in childhood‚ and Late Onset which mostly presents in adolescence or early adulthood but could occur at any time. Tay Sachs is caused by a mutation--a deletion of chromosome 15. The HEX A gene on this chromosome is responsible for creating

Tay Sachs Disease Tay Sachs disease is caused by the homozygous recessive gene on chromosome 15 that codes for the lack of production of hexosaminidase-A (Hex-A) [1]. Since there is no HexA‚ a fatty substance is allowed build up abnormally in nerve cells‚ which damages the cells and the brain [1]. Males and females are equally likely to carry this recessive gene but the heterozygous gene carriers are not affected‚ because they still have the dominant gene [2]. If both parents have the heterozygous
