Recommended: Understanding and Coping with Change

If evolution was to make humanity increasingly diverse, human beings would reject the notion of difference. From history, humanity has always resisted change and differences and has been defined by the Me/We/Us against the You/Them/Other. Acceptance has never been easy. Acceptance is a hard choice. It is tough to accept and understand why things have to change. Because of fear, people do not want to face change. What tends to happen is that people avoid change because they are comfortable with their current choices and how human beings have been reproducing for centuries. They are comfortable with the traditional lifestyle and do not want any type of modification. Humans tend to have emotional connections to the old, traditional habits. It is also …show more content…

A potential benefit would be an increase of diversity and contribution to advancement. Every individual and human species has their own role in the world. By dividing the human species, the subgroups would avoid arguments and competitions against each other and help the world advance in bigger and better ways. Another possible benefit of having mutants is if mutants have superpowers to save or be a helping hand for humans. This can either be positive or negative depending on how these mutants would "help". Mutants may provide potential risks to human beings and other creatures in the world. If mutants are trained to cause harm, this will cause danger to the existing creatures and humans. For example, Stryker gathered a group of mutants of his own to murder other mutants. Even though Stryker wanted to destroy the mutant-kind, he did have a group of mutants to kill other innocent mutants. The mutants did not get to choose their method or life style of being born. If they were able to choose, they would have chosen to be born as a traditional human being to not get themselves involved with the mutant

  • Judgments Made According to Race

    685 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the United States, there are a vast majority of ethnicities and races, which is why we are oftentimes recognized as “the melting pot”. Because of this, it may seem difficult to keep ethnic groups completely separate because there are interactions between different races every single day, even though some might not even be aware of it. Some people, especially ones from older generations, see this as an abomination because they feel that races must be kept pure and also feel that assimilation diminishes the uniqueness of one’s ethnic identity. However, would it not make a person more unique to be part of multiple cultures? According to an article aptly titled “Black? White? Asian? More Young Americans Choose All of the Above” by Susan Saulny, it is revealed that “Multiracial and multiethnic Americans are one of the country’s fastest-growing demographic groups” (NYtimes.com). Because 1 in 7 new marriages are interracial, the number of mixed race people is just going to keep increasing. With the way this is going, there could be very few people in the United States who identify with strictly one ethnic group or race. In a way, everyone is going to be the same (mixed race) but in different combinations, which would still make us all individuals. When this happens, America will be more unified and will be less full of prejudice as it always has seemed to be towards certain races.

    Society is diverse, whether it is because of race, gender, socioeconomic, or culture, I have learnt that it is important to respect a person for who they are. Because America is a country that is culturally diverse, I will need to do some research on a patient that has a different culture from me. As I stated in the first paragraph, there will always be a way for human beings to diversify themselves into groups in which share similar interests. Diversity starts in the school, kids, tend to hang with people of similar characteristics, whether it is that the kids play the same sport or share the same religion. These differences in our society is what makes human beings in general interesting. Even If a group of people and similar a society will tend to look for the slightest difference, and categorize people, whether it is culture, religion, gender, socioeconomic, and

  • The Pros And Cons Of Natural Selection

    1633 Words  | 4 Pages

    In order for a species to survive, its population has to evolve. Evolution is the process of gradual change driven by natural selection to improve survival. Evolution is the explanation of how life got to its current state. Before the idea of evolution, the Bible gave the explanation of how things came to be, the Theory of Creation. Charles Darwin is credited for developing the theory of evolution. Scientist such as Georges Cuiver, James Hutton and Charles Lyell, and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck heavily influenced Darwin. It is because of Darwin’s voyage aboard the Beagle that we now have a scientific explanation of how species came to be. Canines have evolved and have been domesticated by artificial selection into our household pets. Unlike natural

  • The Evolution of Human Skin Color

    ...m all over the world, with all hues of skin colors. With interracial dating and marriages and more “mixing” of skin colors, there are multiracial children with various skin colors. Genetically, it enhances variation within the individual, but what about variation within the species? I heard a joke once that eventually in the future, everyone will be beige. Will everyone mix together to an extent that there will be little to no variation anymore, at least skin deep? It’s an interesting concept to think of. At the moment, I believe that there is enough diversity within the human species that we don’t need to worry about the lack of variation in the near future. For now, we can appreciate the diversity of skin colors that has allowed our ancestors to adapt to their environments and survive. It has allowed them to create a lineage of who we are today.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Genetically Modified Organisms

    459 Words  | 1 Pages

    A Genetically Modified Organism can be known as a “sped up process of evolution” (Penn State Ag Science Magazine). Genetic modification is done by removing a certain part of DNA from a gene, then placing it into a different organisms gene. The technology is widely used by farmers (Penn State Ag Science Magazine). Genetic modification is usually performed on crops, therefore is “in 70% of our food” (Davis). Genetically Modified Organisms are unsafe for the environment, and will create more long term problems. One might say GMO’s ( Genetically Modified Organisms), are excellent for the economy. But, is an affordable cost, worth poisoning our bodies, and possibly destroying the pollination process around us?

  • Diversity and Inclusion

    1109 Words  | 3 Pages

    Diversity is a notion, when applied to the majority of circumstances, can create a positive conclusion. The trick to producing a positive outcome is often how the different aspects are brought together. Consider a classic dinner combination peas and carrots, the two colors look appealing and the two flavors comes together as one making a superb side dish. Now consider oil and water, these two substance are not often considered a good combination. Although, this is not always the case; olive oil and vinegar (which is water based) when mixed, come together into a delectable salad dressing. Diversity and inclusion should also apply to humans by bringing people together who are different it can creates a whole that is enhanced by the uniqueness of each individual.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Human Genetic Engineering

    1309 Words  | 3 Pages

    With all factors put into place the potential benefits of perfecting human genetic engineering far outweigh the negatives. A world with genetic engineering is a world that would be advantageous to all who undergo the procedure to positively modify their DNA. A genetically engineered human race will be able to have defeated all genetic mutations and diseases, rid humans of possible illnesses in young and unborn children, create drastically longer lifespans, and provide generations with a high quality of life. Human genetic engineering has progressed more rapidly than projected; according to Stephen Hawking, when human genetic engineering is consummated he hypothesizes, “With genetic engineering, we will be able to increase the complexity of our DNA, and improve the human race. But it will be a slow process, because one will have to wait about 18 years to see the effect of changes to the genetic code.”(Hawking). The advancements that genetic engineering will provide for the human race is incredible and we will soon benefit from science and technology more than ever

    In the discussion of genetic modification, there is a debate as to whether or not it should be allowed. Whereas some are convinced that genetic modification can help cure diseases, others maintain that it should not be used to enhance a child’s abilities. Although genetic modification seems like a great idea in improving the quality of human life, it should not be pursued in staring off diseases, or to alter a child’s physical or mental capabilities.

    Genetic modification always has such an imposing tone, like an army of super soldiers or an unstoppable Doomsday virus. This could seem to be a problem for future generations. But, with the new discovery of Crispr, genetic modification is closer than ever. If a child is sick with an easily curable disease, is it not our duty to cure them, save them from a life of suffering, and give them a life where they are a normal, healthy human child? Or, should we condemn our children to having preventable diseases? But then, evil governments will create an army of super soldiers? The answer is that the technology to add and remove genetic material is already here. Either way, honestly, will outlaw genetic modification truly stop the lawless, unmoral

They would be prepared to meet their child’s medical needs if they do want to conceive. Genetic modification can also allow parents to choose the sex of their child, this isn’t as beneficial but can be useful in countries like China where the number of offspring is limited. As well as gender, genetic modification can allow certain traits such as mental disorders to be

  • The Pros And Cons Of Genetic Engineering

    925 Words  | 2 Pages

    Scientists and the general population favor genetic engineering because of the effects it has for the future generation; the advanced technology has helped our society to freely perform any improvements. Genetic engineering is currently an effective yet dangerous way to make this statement tangible. Though it may sound easy and harmless to change one’s genetic code, the conflicts do not only involve the scientific possibilities but also the human morals and ethics. When the scientists first used mice to practice this experiment, they “improved learning and memory” but showed an “increased sensitivity to pain.” The experiment has proven that while the result are favorable, there is a low percentage of success rate. Therefore, scientists have concluded that the resources they currently own will not allow an approval from the society to continually code new genes. While coding a new set of genes for people may be a benefitting idea, some people oppose this idea.

    The world as a whole is becoming more diverse. There is diversity in schools and in the workplace. People should understand that diversity is what makes the world go around. If all people had the same characteristics then the world would be a very boring place. Even though all human beings are the same in some ways, we are still culturally different. Cultural diversity lets us appreciate our differences. Different cultural groups have varying beliefs, customs, values, and a wide variety of characteristics that make them special. Cultural influences make people see the world differently and cultural diversity should be appreciated.
