SummaryThe Giant Panda, scientifically known as the Ailurodopa melanoleuca, is considered an endangered species found in a few mountain ranges in central China, Sichuan, Shannxi, and the Gansu Provinces, according to the Smithsonian National Zoological Park. The Smithsonian Zoo continues to add that they used to live “in lowland areas, but farming, forest clearing, and other development now restrict Giant Pandas to the mountains.” Paul Massicot, founder and editor of the Internet source www.animalinfo.org, helps with the physical description. Massicot states the Giant Panda weighs in the range of one hundred and fifty pounds to two hundred and seventy five pounds.

SummaryI will present a critique of the conception of male sperm in contemporary popular science media; in particular my critique will address the idea that porn is somehow biologically beneficial for human sexuality. On one level, my motive in doing this is to demystify the systematic but almost impossibly subtle use of language that both exemplifies and justifies the pervasive social condition that typifies female sexuality in relation to (in opposition to) the notions of competition and domination. Scientific popular discourse constructs itself in such a way that members sharing its epistemic standpoint are apt to argue that the biological concept of competition, for instance, has little or nothing to do with the sense of competition in some other, more public context.
Table of Contents
- Scientific discourse in general does not and cannot mature in a social vacuum.
- Siri Steiner's 'Porn Helps Human Sperm Gear up for Competition'.
- There is no single gene or combination of genes which codes for 'sperm acting competitive'.
- Fox News' 'Panda Porn Helps Spark Birthing Boom in Captive Breed'.
- I want to lastly stress the conception of competition in this article.
- Does pornography increases sperm production.

SummaryIn March 2005, the UN released its Millennium Ecosystem Assessment , the first comprehensive scientific audit of the state of the planet. Completed over four years by 2,000 experts, the survey demonstrates that economic activity has destroyed 60% of the Earth’s life-supporting ecosystems, threatening humanity’s ability to sustain its standards of living. Thus, even though the Industrial Revolution has brought about a tremendous rise in the standards of living of most in the Western World, and although globalization is spreading this wealth to an increasing number of people in the developing world, a growing number of worrisome environmental trends suggest that our current economic model is not sustainable in the medium- to short- run.
