MA 1 Yiyuan Ma Amy Leonard EWRT 2 De Anza College May 4, 2019 Essay #1 Proposal Fears and isolation Introduction: The existence of fear that is haunting the life of its possessor is a common problem in society. Individuals are full of fear about their future and the wellbeing of those that they love. It is uncommon to have a society where individuals are living in the absence of fear. The movie the monsters is an illustration of the fear of human being possess when the lives of those they love are in danger. Moreover, individuals are inclined to alienate from the people they love due to fear of hurting them. Behaviors of an individual depict the type of a person. In the film, Kathy, a drunkard, and abusive parents are worried about the safety of her daughter. Kathy is determined to drive her daughter to the father’s place, away from her since she cares about her safety. Understanding the influence of fear in our lives is essential to our wellbeing. This research project will provide an overview of how fear is portrayed in the film and how it relates to our lives. In addition, it will provide consequences associated with the feeling of fear as highlighted in the film (Annas & Elias. Pp. 98-101) Issue: The ability to control our fears is a growing topic. The contemporary society is chained in a series of problems that invite fear, remorse, and regrets. Individuals have endangered their lives MA 2 hoping to keep the lives of those that they love from the implication of their fears. Fighting our problems is a challenging task. At times, people end up giving up and giving in for the issues affecting them. The effect leads to living unfulfilled lives. In reference to the movie, Kathy must fight the monster within herself. What your research paper will add: The research aims to answer the following questions. 1. What are the typical fears manifested in the film and exist in the current society? 2. How to classify the fears for easier understanding 3. What is the impact of fear in the lives of those surrounding us? 4. What are the ways to fight the fear? Types of Research: The chief research method is a critical review and analysis of the film ‘the monster’. The study will first review and analyze the characters involved, their traits, background, and impact on the film. Based on the roles identified, the study will evaluate the relation between the characters activities and the hypothesis of the study. Next, the review will identify instances where individuals portray fear, and the consequences of their actions. In the second stage of the study, literature concerning the topic will be reviewed to provide different perspectives on the topic. Using journals, academic sources, and websites as a source of data, the research will evaluate the current practices and behavioral practices related to the topic. Conclusion: The long-term goal of the research is to develop a clear and concise approach to the management of fear. Managing our fears revolves around the process of identifying, classifying, and defining ways to solve the problems in our lives. The objective of the current study is to MA 3 provide a comprehensive review of the literature as well as practices relative to solving fears and provide a framework for fear management. The following are sub-objectives of the research. 1. Provide a comprehensive review of the film and instances manifested by fear. 2. To develop methods of classifying fears for easier analysis, and understanding. 3. To review the current practices and activities in the society exhibited by fear. 4. Provide a framework to solve fears. The outcomes of the study will be valuable to individuals struggling with addiction, fears, and medical practitioners entitled to care for patients. The study will be an active tool for healthcare professionals and the public (Phillips & John. P. 604).

Frankenstein Cat CARS score: 19 Readability: 60.75 Quote: “As I venture from bucolic barnyards to a “frozen zoo” where scientists are storing DNA from the planet’s most exotic creatures, I discover how we can use cloning to protect endangered species, craft prosthetics to save injured animals, and employ genetic engineering to stock farms with disease-resistant livestock. Along the way, we meet some of the animals that are ushering in this astonishing age of enhancement, including sensorwearing seals, cyborg beetles, a bionic bulldog, and the world’s first cloned cat.”(Athens) Summary: According to the author, with science, clones can be created from original species to protect endangered species and to create disease resistant animals.

This tool is controversial, in part, because changes that are made to the embryo could be passed down to future generations” Summary: This article shows how possible it is to alter the human genetic composition of an embryo to make it stronger. It says that there is a high chance of these embryos passing the genetic changes to the future generations. Which poses the question whether it is ethically right, or are we just creating monsters with science? Note: The article is very important as it explains the controversy between science and ethics.

There, researchers are randomly disabling mouse genes one at a time, in order to identify the function of each gene. By essentially throwing darts at a genetic dartboard to see what happens, the researchers have filled 45,000 mouse cages with mutant mice." Oh my. And, we know mice display empathy for other mice in pain.” MA 5 Summary: According to the author, it is not safe to use science to create mutant species.

CARS score: 14 Readability: 43.2 Quote: “Gene editing tools are potentially both more precise and more accurate than current gene transfer interventions; in addition, the discovery and development of the CRISPR/Cas9 system has made gene editing research considerably easier, faster, and cheaper. As a result, long-standing debates about the safety, efficacy, affordability, ethical and social MA 9 acceptability, oversight, and control of efforts to pursue human germline alteration and enhancement have been rekindled.” Summary: The recent development of CRISPR/Cas9 technology has rekindled the ethical debate concerning human germline modification that has begun decades ago. This inexpensive technology shows tremendous promise in disease prevention strategies, while raising complex ethical concerns about safety and efficacy of the technology, human dignity, tampering with God’s creation, and human genetic enhancement. Note: The author feels germline modification is alteration of God’s creation and should not be performed on human beings. Work cited.
