Your Eye Color

Science: What is the science behind this topic? How do you explain the science to the general public? How reliable are your sources? Can you verify this science with other sources?

Eye color is determined by the variations in the human’s eyes.The genes associated with eye color are determined by the production, transport, and storage of a pigment called melanin. My source is extremely reliable because it is a site with a .gov, meaning it was created by the government. Yes, it can be verified with other sources.  

Society: How does this impact society? Are certain people more impacted than others? Does it affect society in a negative or positive manner? What are some of the different viewpoints on this topic? How might this develop in the future?

This directly impacts society in how you view the person and how the person looks when brought into the world. You also see a pattern in who normally has a certain color eye, and when there’s someone who doesn’t have that same color, people notice that.

Self: What are your thoughts on this issue? Do you identify with a certain viewpoint? How does your culture or upbringing influence your thoughts on this topic? What suggestions do you have on this issue?

I think it’s very interesting that most black people have brown eyes because of their genes that were passed down. I don’t really identify with any viewpoint, since eye color is eye color. I suggest that we look at things more important than eye color, because eye color doesn’t affect anyone’s lifestyle in a meaningful way.
