of social sciences, claims, “The moral ideal of authenticity is that each of us find our own way of being in the world.” We find that way through undergoing life’s disappointments and achievements directly, not from handed down stories. In “The Dinosaurs”, Italo Calvino explores the concept of what it means to actively pursue an authentic persona in light of constant stories that challenge his character’s personal beliefs and opinions. Several prominent philosophers name authenticity as “the…

The Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary, (K-Pg) boundary, and the associated Dinosaur Extinc-tion theories have many precedents and most could be viewed scientifically from certain and known historical accounts. These hypotheses, some more believable than others, can serve a purpose to study current life and potential trends for future evolutionary traits. Evaluating certain aspects of the theory’s within this research, the main focus will be not be on the factual cause of the extinction, but rather…

the dinosaurs. It mainly exposes the two alternative hypotheses that might have caused this mass extinction by explaining the main reasoning behind each of these premises. The author exposes the points of views of different scientists and geologists in regards to the death of the dinosaurs, which- somehow- remains one of the most heated and contested “battles in science”. Particularly, the paper explains the stance of one geologist from Princeton who is an advocate of a different dinosaur…

that dinosaurs are endotherms and provides three reasons of support. In contrast, the professor explains that scientist have serious problems regarding this issue and mentions that it was not proved, and repudiates each of the author's reasons. Fisrt, the article claims that dinosaurs fossils have been found in polar regions which just endotherms can live. Conversely, the speaker refutes this point by imaprting that the area where dinosaurs been was warmer than today. He asserts that dinosaurs…

literary composition by Stephen Jay Gould, the hypotheses of dinosaur extinction are intermingled with the all-consuming thoughts and dilemmas that plague much of the modern society, including: sex, drugs, and violence; as well as one great unknown- how dinosaurs became extinct. Gould adds the public’s lust for outré, controversial statements with real, scientific inferences. Plaguing the world with questionability, the explanation for the dinosaurs’ extinction is still unidentified, but Gould…

three movies in the series, you might think that they would have learnt of their incapacity to contain a dinosaur – precisely the reason why Jurassic Park was shut down at the end of the third movie. Twenty-two years later, the park has been reopened, renamed and revamped. The theme park, dubbed Jurassic World, is now owned by Simon Masrani (Irrfan Khan) who has taken Hammond's dream of a dinosaur amusement park to a whole new level. “If something chases you – run!” Sound words of advice given…

How did the dinosaurs die There are many theories on how the dinosaurs became extinct over 100 million years ago. The theory that is most common, is the asteroid theory. The asteroid theory proposes the idea that an asteroid hit the earth, reduced levels of sunlight, and dropped temperatures, resulting in plants being unable to grow, the plant eaters dying, and leaving no food for the meat eaters. This theory is like a major chain reaction, wiping out every dinosaur on the planet. Another…

SOME DINOSAURS WERE LIKELY TO BE WARM BLOODED Dinosaurs belong to class Reptilia and so for many years scientists thought that they were cold blooded, with slow metabolisms and dominated the planet for about 135 million years. However, birds evolved from small carnivorous dinosaurs of the Late Jurassic, with fast metabolic rates, raising the question of whether or not their extinct dinosaur relatives were also warm-blooded. Whether the extinct dinosaurs were ectothermic or endothermic or…

Dinosaurs, a dominating specie living in the Earth long time ago, extinct mysteriously. Paleontologists and scientists have established a variety of possible theories to explain. However, all these theories are still debatable.There are four main possible explanations: Asteroid Impact, Volcano Eruption, Falling Tide and Asteroid Impact theory was established by Luis Alvarez in 1980.Many plants and animals were disappeared abruptly from the fossil record as one moves from layers of rocks…

to the prehistoric times to hunt dinosaurs. Travis, the Time Safari leader, warns them not to step off the anti-gravity metal path made for them to walk on, for if they do, it will dramatically affect anything that were to happen in the future. The hunters are only allowed to shoot the dinosaurs that have red paint on them because the animals are going to die in the near future anyway. A T-rex appears around the corner and Eckels gets more frightened as the dinosaur comes closer. He runs to the…
