Examples Of A Bad Human Factor

Improved Essays
Human Factors are what show our capabilities and limitations on what we can and can’t do, but how do we deal with those bad human factor designs that limit us way more than they normally should? The toothbrush for example when brushing our teeth we can do so horizontally or vertically, yet when it comes to brushing our teeth In the direction that we are most dominant that hand must be bent in a very awkward position. This causes a weird form of brushing our teeth compared to when we brush them in our least dominant side. If we had a toothbrush that would adjust when switching sides from left to right would be a good idea because it would help those who aren’t able to bend their dominant hands in an awkward shape making it much easier to brush

    Michael Sandel in “The case Against Perfection” talks about benefits and drawbacks in genetic engineering, designer children, and bionic athletes. The benefit is that improving technological advancement, we will be able to treat and prevent many diseases that are prevalent today. The downside is that exponential growth of technologies will allow us to manipulate our own nature, to enhance our cognitive abilities, physical strength, and choose genetic traits of our children to make ourselves “better than well” (Sandel, 2004). Sandel argues that Genetic engineering offers us the power to master our nature, but that kind of power & choice threatens our ability to appreciate life as a gift, and erode human agency by allowing us to serve our purposes…

    Between “Night” and “The Perils of Indifference”, “The Perils of Indifference” is much more powerful. The reason the “The Perils of Indifference” is more powerful is because the speech is made to teach a moral to the world on the dangers of indifference whereas the book “Night”, is just a story focused on a boy in a world that has been changed due to indifference. The speech contains many examples of what the world would be with indifference, one of the examples including the “Night” the book itself. The book is indeed a story about what the world would be with indifference and just ends with a eerie note on how the protagonist still remembers how much the world had changed him. On the “The Perils of Indifference”, Wiesel uses the book as…

The action behind the defendant’s Reckless Conduct, or the act of walking on CTA property while clutching a bag filled with food during the 4th of July, cannot be considered legitimate evidence for probable’s cause. Probable cause entails more than a mere suspicion, which in this case also showed prejudiced attitudes by the police officers.

His argument is based on the comparison of the lifestyles of agriculture-based societies and hunter-gatherers, claiming that the latter lacked many of the challenging aspects that emerged with the beginnings of domestication and civilization. Diamond’s main points of focus are the negative health effects of people’s new diet, the increased spread of diseases, and the development of societal inequalities. In general, I agree with Diamond’s claim that the adoption of agriculture had some negative effects on humans,…

    Are people today being wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death? Today, there are 3,000 people on death row (Drehle). This means 3,000 inmates are waiting for their day to be executed or waiting for their date of execution to be set. According to a recent study, “120 of the roughly 3,000 inmates on death row in America might not be guilty, while additional scores of wrongfully convicted inmates are serving life in prison” (Drehle).

    America is known as the land of opportunities. In Laurence Shames’ essay, “The More Factor”, he discusses how America has an obsession with the concept of growth and having more. According to Shames, the quality of life and other values have been underdeveloped, since Americans value having more. In the context that Laurence Shames uses the term “frontier”, it does not show any contradiction, when saying that the American “frontier” culture focuses on measurable expansion, and then using the term “frontier” to describe knowledge and culture. Shames’ argument that quantity over quality is important because it conforms to the idea of people improving the American lifestyle.…
