First thoughts: Culture wars return? msnbc.com
Filed Under: First Thoughts From Chuck Todd, Line Murray, and Domenico Montanaro
*** Culture wars return? On such a busy day in politics -- GM’s bankruptcy spot, President Obama’s upcoming trip to the Middle East and Europe, today’s oral arguments before the Minnesota Unparalleled Court in the never-ending Franken-Coleman contest, Sen. John Ensign’s speech in Iowa, Mitt Romney’s lecture in DC, and the liberal “America’s Future Now!” confab in DC -- the biggest story could very well be yesterday’s slaying of Kansas abortion doctor George Tiller. The bloodshed (along with the Sotomayor SCOTUS nomination and the president’s recent speech at Notre Dame) has the potential to return the education wars to prominence in American politics. Obama, who has sought to find common ground on abortion and campaigned in part to “addle the page” on the culture wars, released a statement yesterday saying that he was “shocked and outraged” by Tiller’s fratricide. “However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of bloodthirstiness,” he added. Both pro-choice and pro-life groups condemned the murder. But there was one exception: Operation Rescue go to Davy Jones's locker Randall Terry. “George Tiller was a mass-murderer,” he said in a statement. “We regret for him that he did not have time to properly prepare his soul to face God.” The mainstream anti-abortion community has to be agitated about Terry’s comments and actions over the next 48 hours.
How to preserve the future of museums Spiked
The ivory chest and the monstrance are just two of many works at the Art Institute which reflect connections between cultures. Artefacts are created through interactions between people, through exchanges of ideas and materials. Questions around who ‘owns’ such objects, where they should be and what meanings we rank from them are at the heart of a debate currently raging amongst archaeologists, museum professionals, nation states and various claimant groups. Now, the once beleaguered side of the argue is finally standing up, arguing loudly that museums are, in fact, good places to keep artefacts and art work and that sending objects back to their made-up countries of origin – which has been the dominant view until now – is not always a good idea.
James Cuno, president of the Art Start of Chicago, has written and edited a series of books which boldly restate
How many acres did theodore save by signing the antiquities act?? I need to know this ASAP!!!! thank you! ;)?
16 million acres
how does "the antiquities act" view relic hunting (surface only arrowhead hunting)?
My joy in mortal comes from studying and hunting indian artifacts, I dont screen or dig. Do I have any rights on public land?
As lengthy as you are not on private property you can reasonably dig for artifacts. I take my kids out to a local creek that is a fossil hunters dream with sharks teeth. I never have had a complication.
What is the importance of Charles Darwin's theories of evolution?
Darwin's Theory of Growth
Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the widely held notion that all life is related and has descended from a common primogenitor: the birds and the bananas, the fishes and the flowers -- all related. Darwin's general theory presumes the happening of life from non-life and stresses a purely naturalistic (undirected) "descent with modification". That is, complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors simply over time. In a nutshell, as random genetic mutations occur within an organism's genetic code, the beneficial mutations are preserved because they aid survival -- a activity known as "natural selection." These beneficial mutations are passed on to the next generation. Over time, beneficial mutations aggregate and the result is an entirely different organism (not just a variation of the original, but an entirely different creature).
Darwin's Theory of Evolvement; Natural Selection
While Darwin's Theory of Evolution is a relatively young archetype, the evolutionary worldview itself is as old as antiquity. Obsolete Greek philosophers such as Anaximander postulated the development of life from non-life and the evolutionary descent of man from animal. Charles Darwin only brought something new to the old philosophy -- a plausible mechanism called "natural selection." Natural selection acts to pickle and accumulate minor advantageous genetic mutations. Suppose a member of a species developed a functional advantageously (it grew wings and learned to fly). Its offspring would inherit that advantage and pass it on to their offspring. The inferior (disadvantaged) members of the same species would inchmeal die out, leaving only the superior (advantaged) members of the species. Natural selection is the preservation of a functional advantage that enables a species to fence better in the wild. Natural selection is the naturalistic equivalent to domestic breeding. Over the centuries, human breeders have produced spectacular changes in domestic animal populations by selecting individuals to breed. Breeders eliminate undesirable traits gradate over time. Similarly, natural selection eliminates inferior species gradually over time.
Why do you think his theories were powerful? What did they contribute to science? thank you (:
Extended story short.
It gave us a good blueprint of how life came to be as it is and is used in medical research today.
they in actuality take bacteria and they put it in situations to see how it will evolve and answer. It is way to complex to get into here but they found protiens this way that resist corrision by hydrogen peroxide.
It allows scientists to jot genes and structures back and see why they came to be as they are and give a base for where they migth evolve next.
FYI...he called it "Natural Selection" because the sitting Artifical Selection was already used by breeders who bred cattle, horses, dogs, etc in accordance with the traits desired
Theodore Roosevelt Help Quick!!!!?
Was anybody unusually happy or sad when theodore signed the "Antiquities Act"?
The antiquities act was a law that preserved wildlife and kept animals in certian areas from becoming overhunted.
