Research results

There are many things that involve height when I put that into the search engines I used.  There are heights for trees, hair lengths, people with diseases, and heights that correspond to body indexes.  But I finally got heights around the world which is perfect for my comparison of regional heights.  I then typed in "the determinants of height" and  many scholarly articles came up.  Many trying to explain and giving information on ages and such.  Should be interesting to see what affects us when we are younger.  Then some stuff about growth hormones came up and I was trying to figure out some more information about how they might work which might help my research question.  Lastly I typed in "bone growth" to see the basics of how and why bones grow.  This came up with many articles as well.  The only hard part right now is finding comparative heights over the past few hundred years to use to show a pattern over time in human growth.  But by putting my research question in the engine many things came up on the topic that might show a pattern in growth.  This also gave me some difference is in why regional heights exist.

Revised RS question and support

What pattern ,if any, is there between heights of one generation to their children,and how have heights changed over the past few hundred years?

Statistical information
Medical opinions concerning height patterns
Scientific testing or research on height
Medicial opinions on future height
Other publications concerning the topic of height

research question and answers to librarian questions

1) A general layout of the library and its resourses because I have only been there once and it was for a short time.
2) I am a business major, and my topic is about how human heights and generational heights change and are changing.  Maybe why they are change aswell. 
3) " science fiction"  is what I would type.  But if the topic were a little more specific like if I were look for a book I would "books", or maybe one other word to narrow the search.   
4) "female writes of science fiction" is what I would type.
RS question:  Have humans come to be taller than their ansesters over the past several thousand years, what pattern, if any, exists between one generation to the next in relation to their heights?

Writing and reveiw process

My process breaks down the main claim and the evidence.  I start with the main idea and how it is supported by the evidnece.  Next I write out the ideas and evidence like an equation which shows what supports what and thats how the essay should be written.  The ideas shoould flow into the next and so on.  Then I get specific and write out intro and how the ideas should flow. Then the first paragraph and how it should flow and that continues to the conclusion.  After that I usaully write just my theisis and then the body paragraphs after that I write the introduction and the conclusion. 

The peer revising helps me see where the ideas are not connecting and how to chagne my wording to aid the reader in understanding my ideas and how they connect.. 

Ethics journal 2

How do humans achieve potential?
Potential is set by a person for his or herself.  By set I mean a goal or object is set as what fills that potential.  Once that goal is met or object obtained the potential is filled and usually then reset.  I my case I want to be a great volleyball play and to do this I need to touch eleven feet and once that goal is met I will move onto a higher goal.
What limits potential?
The conscience is the only limit to potential.  The last part of the reading talks about how the some people repress potential as a fault.  So if a person represses his or her potential then the only thing holding them back is him or herself. 
What is potential?
A set of actions, abilities, and object set by a person by him or herself as goals to be done.  At the completetion of these goals satisfaction and fulfillment in life is usaually the end result.  A second result might be a change in the potential.  Someone may think that they can have more now and the potneial is increased in their minds and more goals are set. 
Is it true about no pre-established ethics?
I thinks its very true.  When you grow up, you learn how to live life and learn.  If there was a pre-set idea baout how humans are to act you wouldn't have to learn them while you grow up you would simply already know them.  I am finally learning about relationships and how they work in my life now that I am so close to people and am gaining new realtionships.  But if there was a n established way to encorporate relationships into your life then I wouldn't have to learn that on my own right now, I would already know.

enthics journal

This reading was hard to follow but when read slowly it makes sense to me.  I live by this ethical existences in many ways.  I try to be all that I can be.  One way of doing this is by being as effieceint as I can in order to have more time to become more in that that.  Also, by being somewhat non conformist.  By being different I am being more than what I think "human" is.  Its possible to follow what everyone else has done.  But can I be the one or One of the few to to this or that?  This though drives me to be competetive.  By being competeitive I push myself to be and become more.  And when i'm laying in bed or playing video games or not being effecient I get that guilty feeling described in the reading.  It's just like a deep motivating feeling that can only go way if I do homework or compete.  Unforetunatly I'm human so the time I have to become better isn't always used fully. 

One counter agruement against the point of just being is a sin is that people don't get this guilty feeling sometimes.  Often, most of the time.  Which is something I don't understand, but that's just people I guess.  Some people just are content with just being and allow their potenials to not fill.  But i guess just as strongly as I feel to become more, those other people just have a strong desire to do something else. 

Ultimately, I think the only ethics humans have are the cultural ones and the individual ones that come form the heart.  And the only way to judge these actions based on ethics is to know if they were made with sincere intentions.  And I got my post in way before eight o'clock today. Finally, I get on top of these things.
