Article Review Form Name: Pernisha Ailsworth Due Date: 2/6/15 Article Title: The Incredible Expanding Adventures of the X Chromosome Number: (1) Human Growth Briefly state the Main Idea of this Article: The main idea of this article is to enlighten readers that there are numerous of human phenomena that are elucidated through the prism of the X chromosome. Christopher Bradcock spent decades researching links between genetics and psychology. After he came in contact with Anna Freud, his mind began to dip deeper. The author praises the X chromosome due to its amazing abilities and virtues in the human body. The X chromosome is a factor in IQ, different patterns of expression in the body, mental disorder, etc.
The first thing that the narrator mentions about Oroonoko is that he is black. She describes him in an elegant sense, portraying him out to be a god. The narrator states “His nose was rising and Roman, instead of African and flat. His mouth the finest shaped that could be seen; far from those great turned lips which are so natural to the rest of the negroes. The whole proportion and air of his face was so nobly and exactly formed that, bating his color, there could be nothing in nature more beautiful, agreeable, and handsome” (2140).

The Perspective of Wrongness Kathryn Schulz’s “Two Models of Wrongness,” focuses on two aspects of error which are optimistic and pessimistic errors. Schulz argues that this model can give a person a better understanding toward the two models of wrongness in both optimistic and pessimistic views. From this model of wrongness she limits the possibility of wrongness by having only two sides and not having some middle ground for anything that can’t be placed on one side of these two models. Could there be other models of wrongness other than the two that Schulz mentions that don’t focus on a binary view? In this essay I’ll explore the reasons why someone would disagree with her about her two models.
Black people are more threatening; a sketchy looking Latina is more threatening than a Caucasian. A simple looking Caucasian doesn’t look too threatening, depending on how large, but a black person will always make me feel threatened. Mostly because I did not grow up with black people; I am not comfortable around them. Same with Latinas, but this is a common thought among people. Men have it worse than woman.
Because genetic factors have influences in running ability, with many more genetic variations in bodies, Blacks are extremely faster or slower than Whites but fewer Africans at the average speeds. This result is also the same as what comes out from the research about boys and girls in mathematical area. The consequence is that more males than females at the top and bottom of the math scores but more female than male in the middle. And because of these similar results, Malcolm goes to the conclusion that “Blacks are like boys. Whites are like girls.” Furthermore, Malcolm points out it is not the reason that Africans are black, so they are better at sports than Whites, but it is because of the genetic variability inside the bodies of African population, it helps them to become elite athletes in the world like Michael Jordan, Tiger Wood, Wayne Gretzky, or Cal Ripken.

Stereotypes are hurtful and most of the time untrue. Not every Muslim is a terrorist. Not all Black people are Ghetto. Not every Hispanic person is Mexican. Not all white American are rich.
October 12, 2009 Readings/Reflections 1.) Mixed Blood This article by Jeffrey Fish explains that race is actually is non-existent. The idea that we classify people based on how they look and assume that there is only one category they belong is what is done in America. On almost any type of paperwork, the question of race is asked. Are you white, black, hispanic, asian, or other?
This is because in deduction, conclusions are made through reasoning information which is given and known to be true. The problem arises when the premises known to be true are in fact faulty. This leads to the misleading of conclusions and or the gaining of flawed knowledge, (Stewart 433). For example to reflect
