Essay Instructions: "Scientists have long sought to answer the question of how our bodies came to be the way they are. Now, using new methods from a variety of disciplines, they are discovering that many of the flaws in our "design" have a common theme: They arise primarily from evolutionary compromises that came about when our ancestors stood upright--the first step in the long path to becoming human." by Jennifer Ackerman

Essay Instructions: Here is the Topic:

"Write an essay in which you define and defend your position on the role of the scientist in our world. Should a scientist be mainly an analyst or does he/she have obligations to become an advocate if necessary? To make your essay more specific, choose an area of science in which you are interested (gene technology, for instance, or atomic weapons) and argue the scientists'' position in this particular field."

Where/when possible, make references to Charlie from Flowers From Algernon.

Quick Summary:
Charlie had an experimental surgery preformed on him where he went from being developmentally delayed to incredibly intelligent (genius). In becoming so smart so quickly, he realized that the people who he used to think were his friends were just using him as someone to make fun of, and he realizes he has no real friends. He always wanted to be smart - but perhaps he couldn't have forseen so many challenges. He also has many emotional difficulties a person without this surgery wouldn't have (e.g. relationships with girls, he struggled to make).

It needs to be made clear through this paper that God empowers scientists to do what they do, and we are free to do as we wish. By attempting to further each other, we are doing what he would want us to do.

Essay Instructions: "I heard a funny one two weeks ago that might interest you. Seems one of our R&D people went to a new products management seminar and heard about a thing called the protocol. They told him it was the device whereby the overall manager of new products communicated to R&D exactly what was wanted from the technical group. R&D even had to 'sign on the dotted line,' swearing that they thought it could be done. He was really steamed-said no one could tell R&D what they should come up with, not in advance anyway. And R&D is responsible only to top management, not new products managers, so they don't have to promise anything. He said he considered that concept the most stifling single action imaginable. How would you answer that scientist, or would you?"
