Exploring Ancient Mysteries

Choose one (1) of the topics below and develop a three to four (3-4) paragraph essay (of at least 250-500 words) which adequately address the topic you have chosen.

Topic Choices

– There have been many theories regarding how the pyramids at Giza were constructed. Most experts agree that they were constructed as burial monuments for pharaohs, but “how” these ancient people constructed monuments of such great size without modern machinery is a mystery which is still being debated.

– No one can say for certain what happened to the great urban Mayan civilization, but theories abound and include varied possible alternatives to explain the relatively abrupt and mysterious disappearance of the Mayan civilization.

– Tutankhamen died young, at approximately eighteen (18) years of age. However, his cause of death has been the subject of quite varied scholarly theories and conclusions. Did he die of an injury, of illness, of murder, or something else?.

– Minoan Crete was a major civilization in its time, but several theories have been advanced to explain its demise, including speculations associating it with mythical Atlantis. What were the causes of Minoan Civilization’s decline?

– Great Zimbabwe is an enormous complex of structures in East Africa. Since the builders and occupants left no written records, several theories have developed as to the identity of its builders and the functions of the structures. Which theory makes the most sense?

– The monumental size and complexity of the Tomb of Shihuangdi is astounding, yet its location and construction details were to be kept secret. What was the emperor’s purpose for such an elaborate, secret burial place?

– Other topic choice recommended and approved by the professor and supported by the grading rubric.
Write a three to four (3-4) paragraph paper in which you:

8. Clearly state the “mystery” and provide a brief summary of at least two (2) reasonable and scholarly theories which could explain the mystery. Because some theories may sound far-fetched, include the source or promoter of each theory – such as a scientist, a historian, a theologian, etc.

9. After summarizing at least two (2) scholarly theories, identify one (1) of the theories as the most plausible and provide at least two

(2) convincing reasons why the theory you have chosen is the best one to explain the mystery. This will involve some critical reasoning skills on your part.

10. Use at least two (2) sources plus the class textbook. (Three [3] sources total as the minimum) Note: Wikipedia and other similar Websites do not qualify as academic resources. You are highly encouraged to use the Resource Center tab at the top of your Blackboard page.

– Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA style format. Both in-text citations and a References list are required. Citations and references must follow APA style format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

– Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length. For our purposes, you may omit any abstract page.

Discuss about the cloning and biotechnology

Cloning and Biotechnology First Writing Assignment

We have just finished watching the movie Gattaca. While the movie is about a world that does not exist, it contains a number of themes about how biotechnology will change all of our lives in the future, which we will explore during this quarter. (Please note I’m not looking for praise or criticism of the film itself, but rather for discussion of questions that the film raises.)

Your first writing assignment is a 3-4 page reflective essay about the movie, which will be due at the start of the third class meeting (1/17). Please choose one of the questions below, and write an essay in response to the question. Grading will be on the quality ofyour writing and how well you have presented arguments in support of your position, =on what answer you choose. 12 pt font, double spaced, normal margins, etc.

Question 1: Director Josef (Gore Vidal) states to Detective Anton, “No one exceeds their potential. If they did, it would simply mean we did not accurately gauge their potential in the first place.” How much of what we call a person’s “potential” is realized by opportunities (such as attending a university like DePaul) that some people may not have access to, and how much of their “potential” is due to their genes? Explain your reasoning.

Question 2: Early in the movie, we see Vincent’s parents visiting a geneticist for the implantation of their second child, Anton. In addition to eliminating genes +I associated with potential diseases or traits, the geneticist offers them a number of 7-‘7 choices about the child: sex, complexion, etc. Do you feel that giving parents this level of choice over their offspring should yy never be permitted, only allowed for certain traits, or always? If your answer is 64,4( “never,” address the case where parents know they may pass a serious or fatal 7 disease to their children. If your answer is “sometimes,” then justify how you would 4 IA decide what is or isn’t allowed. If your answer is “always,” then discuss what you think the impact will be on people with traits like left-handedness.

Question 3: The movie ends as Vincent achieves his goal of finally going into space. Based on his exceptional skills at astronavigation, Vincent is qualified to do the job. But if he really does have a heart condition, he could fall ill or die during the course of the year-long mission, which would put the entire mission – and the lives of the other crewmembers — at risk.

In light of society denying him even an opportunity to prove himself, do you feel that what Vincent did to achieve his dream was justified? Do you think that screening job candidates based on a risk for a disease they may not have is always discriminatory, or for some jobs should it be a requirement?
