    In Lab 8, we had analyzed remains found at a wooded area near Jonesburg and tried to determine if the bones belonged to a 28-year-old woman who had been reported missing from a city within the vicinity. Upon analysis, it was determined that they did belong to a female. However, it was not possible to determine if the bones did belong to the missing women. Lab 12 presented the opportunity to genetically analyze the remains found. DNA profiling, also referred to as typing and fingerprinting, uses genetic material to show relatedness and uncover the identity of organisms. Most commonly associated with forensics, it can be used in an array of scientific fields such as anthropology. One method that can be used, when a large sample present, is restriction…

    The shingle virus is not as contagious as the chicken pox but is composed of the same virus called the varicella zoster virus. In saying that, only people who have had the chicken pox are the only people that can get the shingles; this is because when a person gets chickenpox, the virus varicella hids and then develops into the zoster herpes virus. If you have shingles, however, you can spread the virus varicella and give another person the chickenpox. The shingles can be spread by the vesicular fluids that come out of the blisters caused by the herpes rash. In other words, “person-to-person transmission occurs via direct contact with vesicular fluids” (Madison LK 2015) if you have not had the chicken pox or have a weak immune system.…

    We as Americans, are facing the most life changing illness since smallpox. The gay virus! People containing the gay virus are unaware of their illness. As an American I am disgusted at their acts of “freedom.” Homosexual actions are inhumane and barbaric. We must put a stop to them! This is the most un-american thing I have ever heard of. They are trying to ruin everything our founding fathers have established. Our fathers came over to new land in hopes of creating a new, but just as restricting, government. Now, I understand that we cannot execute them as that would be barbaric on our behalf, and there are far too many of those savage people to put to rest. Although, we as a majority should take a stand and help cure all of…

    The African American population contributes to over twelve percent of the entire United States population (U.S. Census Bureau, 2007). Within this population stems poverty, lower socioeconomic status and health issues (Edelman & Mandle, 2002). The health issues among African Americans have become an ongoing debate. Why is it that African Americans have a higher mortality rate than the average Americans? According to statistics in 1999, Americans could expect to live 77.8 years while the life expectancy of an African American was approximately 73.1 (CDC, 2007). African Americans have become susceptible to many diseases and health problems throughout the last number of years. The male and female citizens of the African American population have been struggling with high rates of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cancer rates, stroke, diabetes, asthma and HIV/AIDS just to name a few. The African American woman is more likely to be a single mother and more…
