It is difficult to determine whether the Cambridge team's approach on the structure of DNA was more effective than the one put across by the King's College team. History generally dictates that progress was in most cases made possible because certain people wanted to be better. However, taking into account society's most praised values, it appears that cooperation is essential in order for technology to advance.
While the general public typically likes to believe that scientists are devoted to cooperate with each-other regardless of the circumstances, this movie proves that one of the greatest advancements in the history of science is owed to the fierce rivalry that existed between scientists during the early 1950s. Watson's passion clearly knows no limits, considering that he is even willing to give up his sister to Wilkins in hope that this would influence the latter in cooperating.
Watson sees cooperating as a form of exploiting others, while Wilkins sees it as a method of gaining more experience while sharing his own. What Watson does is surely immoral, but the fact that he ultimately achieves success compensates for his dishonest character. Employing a competitive position in dealing with science generates results faster and more effective. It is extremely difficult to cooperate...
Wilkins' reluctance to assist Watson determined the latter to want to start of a race, rather than to cooperate, given that he was aware of the arrogance displayed by Wilkins.
Franklin is likely to be the only one in the group who is actually more interested in the value that her studies will have for the world and has no personal interests other than that of being accepted as an equal by her colleagues. Crick is also devoted to his field of work, but he yields and abandons his studies when he is presented with the chance of discovering the structure of DNA.
All things considered, the motion picture demonstrates that science is likely to progress much slower without competiveness. Even with that cooperation is also probable to generate better and faster results if the present system changes and individuals realize that their personal interests only hinder their field of work as a whole.

share with you my life story and some American History. Throughout this paper we will discuss the many changes that took place in America between World War I and the 1970's. We will discuss the causes of the war and its aftermath. We will also present facts about World War II, the Cold War, the Korean War and Vietnam. In addition we will explore the ways in which the
But as it is, it seems like Moody had nobody on her side. In this situation, I think I would have done as Moody describes most people as doing: complaining about the white people behind closed doors, while acting in public in a way that would keep me out of trouble. Overall, I think the situation would have taken my strength and made me feel helpless, rather than giving me
Race and Community Anderson, South Carolina: Race and Community A soft southern twang of the local server at the local cafe and the warmness of the air that envelopes me even into the fall months, the beauty of Anderson, South Carolina is something that I enjoy constantly. It is the environment of Anderson that I enjoy so much that also fosters the community and the human interactions that make it up. Human
Race and Recreation Memo FROM: Kristopher G. Arason, Principal of Red River High School Red River High students who chose to wear Ku Klux Klan (KKK) uniforms to the school hockey team's State tournament Semifinal game, it is my responsibility to personally address this unfortunate situation. While it goes without saying that the actions of these three students is a disappointment to all of us, as the history of racial discrimination epitomized
3. According to Yosso, "Vincent Tinto's Stages of Passage" model argues that students engage in three processes early on in college: separation, transition and incorporation. However, in the Esmeralda section of Yosso's book, where Esmeralda narrates the story, one discovers that this is really just a specific formulation of stages geared to focus on the experiences of white students and doesn't at all encapsulate the very unique and very distinct experience
