Foster Parenting

Posted by Amirah Burkett in American Government - Laufenberg on Monday, December 20, 2010 at 9:31 am

Kourtnee and I (Amirah Burkett) selected the bureaucratic task of becoming a Foster Parents in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I believe the hardest part of our project was the flow chart, it was the most complicated. The paperwork we needed to fill out was pretty straightforward and easy being as though we made ours how we wanted to fill it out, and it went into some detail. We couldn't find any official foster parent documents so we piggy backed off of a lot of other applications in other states. The flow chart is very similar to the application and asks most of the same questions. All of the qualifications steps like home inspections, being at least 21 years of age, and at least 36 hours of foster caring classes. I believe some systems have become more complicated because there's always going to be a person who's trying to get around it, so i guess they made it a little more complicated for certain bureaucratic 'tasks'

Are evolution and "survival of the fittest" the same thing?

Posted by Amirah Burkett in Science and Society - Best on Friday, November 12, 2010 at 2:10 pm
"Survival of the fittest" is a term coined by Charles Darwin. Throughout Darwin's life he studied the evolution of animals but he is most known from his work with birds on Galapagos Island. What separates the two is survival of the fittest is a "race" between the same species of animals where only those who are capable of surviving the conditions presented to them. The Ginkgo tree, a native of Asia, was in a race with its own kind. When forced to survive in extreme conditions, the tree with the defensive adaptations survived where as the only thing left of the other variety of tree is a mere fossil. Evolution is the process to adapt to the conditions provided. The difference between evolution and "survival of the fittest" is that "survival of the fittest" is when one species is competing with itself with different varieties. Evolution is when one species is constantly changing to better survive in their environment.

No i really don't understand the whole concept.

When P. Diddy came out with those "vote or die" t-shirts.

Yeah I'm always sure.

8. What changes do you hope to see in Philadelphia as a result of this election?

I don't know, my answer would be different if I was expecting a change.
