What do parenthetical
references look like in an actual research paper?
In the eye, light passes through the lens and is
projected on to the retina (Baines 34). The retina is a membrane on the back of
the eye, acting as a sort of wall of the eye (Baines 36). On the retina there
are over one hundred thirty million cells called rods and cones (Baines 36).
There are about one hundred twenty five million rods on the retina and six
million cones (“Eye”). The cells are each named for there relative shape. There
are also two more types of cells in the retina, the bipolar cells and the
ganglion cells Baines 36). Light hits the rods and cones that are light
sensitive (“Eye”). The light hitting the cells cause a chemical change in the
cells that creates an electrical impulse (“Eye”)….
The most common form of color blindness, dichromacy is
also commonly referred to as red-green color blindness because red and green
are the most commonly confused or unnoticed colors for those affected (“Color
Vision”). There are two main types of dichromacy, protanopia and deuteranopia
(Flueck, “Protanopia”). In protonopia the cones do not see long red light wave
lengths (Flueck, “Protanopia”)....
Some believe that not admitting those who are color blind
into the armed forces is discrimination by not giving the disabled the same
opportunities as able-bodied soldiers. While in some cases those who are color
blind may be considered disabled, this does not automatically give them the
right to fight in the military (Pinzler).
Congress and the courts have generally excepted
the uniformed services from coverage by broad, cross cutting Federal civil
rights statutory provisions such as the ADA. Rather, nondiscrimination in the
uniformed services is enforced through specific antidiscrimination policies
established for and implemented by the Department of (Defense and the chain of
command. That physical conditions such as color blindness are disqualifying may
be due no doubt to requirements related to combat-readiness (Pinzler).
In the United States the
military cannot legally discriminate against any person (Pinzler). In fact,
there are specific policies in place to prevent discrimination against the
disabled, provided that the disability does not conflict with combat readiness
(Pinzler).
