Genentech's Argument Analysis

Decent Essays
A neat event could be a mock FDA approval testing for a drug, with participants on both sides of the argument (FDA v.s. Researchers). My aunt works for Genentech and is often the project leader for the development of new oncology drugs. Thus said, she could give us a brief outline of what goes through the minds of researches planning the design of a new drug as well as the types of questions the FDA asks. Furthermore, we could select a drug that Genentech has developed and discuss how to solve the specific challenges they faced in getting the FDA to approve their drug.

    Since the conception of Disney, Disney has maintained a consistent canon that expresses traditional forms of gender; from its debut release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) to its box office hit Frozen (2013). These films tend to have female protagonists, following their journey into adulthood vis-à-vis the idea of “love.” It was not until 2006 when Disney began to collaborate with Pixar to create films that challenge traditional notions of gender within a progressive society—shifting from a traditional “conservative” to progressive “modernist” ideology. Ken Gillam and Shannon R. Woods argue, as titled in their essay, a “Post-Princess Model of Gender: The New Man in Disney/Pixar,” which highlights the arrival of the “beta-male” who challenges the infamous alpha-male.…

    Labunski points out that if a second convention had occurred, it probably would have been open to the public and it is unlikely that delegates would have been able to agree on any amendments. Both Natelson and Labunski's articles discuss the importance of Madison's thought process in 1789 and 1790. This is when Madison realized the need for a bill of rights to be included in the Constitution, as states had begun proposing their own ideas for amendments. It is pointed out in both articles that Madison did not completely oppose the idea of states calling for another convention, but he reasoned that it should only happen once the political frenzy had settled down. , Conversely, compared to the level of detail that Natelson and Labunksi provide,…

    This became a major issue due to the fact that in order for NAGPRA to apply, Native American tribal groups must be able to provide evidence that the remains discovered had been buried on what was once or currently. Thus in the eyes of the Native American community, to deny their claims of being the descendants of the Kennewick man equates to denying their religion and traditions. (Jones 2005 cited by Sayer 2010: 112). This is due to the fact that according to oral tradition and religious beliefs, their ancestors were placed there over 10,000 years ago however the Supreme Court did not rule oral tradition as viable evidence of that particular tribe inhabiting the region at that time (Herman 2015: 181). Thus while NAGPRA was created to settle…

    To accurately depict the overarching qualities of Northwestern which I find most intriguing, it is easiest to provide a line from the university’s president, Morton Shapiro, on why the university stands out from their competitors. While emphasizing the school’s motivated approach to maximizing attention toward undergraduate students, Shapiro professed that the school’s “focus on undergrads without losing the identity as a great research institute” is a quality that sets Northwestern apart. This ideal, which is a crucial part of Northwestern’s identity, makes it all the more captivating. In the majority of colleges I have researched during my prodigious quest for the perfect university, I found that their “commitment to every student” was…

    In 1968 a philosopher named H.J. McCloskey wrote an article titled “On Being an Atheist,” which attacked the main arguments held by theists. The main arguments that he refers to as “proofs” are the cosmological argument, the teleological argument, and the ontological argument. McCloskey’s article debunks these arguments as being false and without proof. He states that theists should dismiss the idea of God entirely. He claims in his opening statements that he will show reasons why theists should be miserable just because they are theists (1).…

    In order to avoid the awkward “please pass the potato salad” at Thanksgiving between you and your conservative cousin Carl, most people will avoid discussing politics altogether. For example, Sean Spicer, the White House Press Secretary, held interviews with pool reporters—in other words, conservative news outlets that aligned with his political leanings. This coincides with the claims made by Joseph E. Uscinski in his article Fake News Freakout, where he said, “People tended to avoid news they disagreed with—and when they nonetheless did encounter a message that they rejected, they found ways to discount it or to interpret it in a manner that made it congruent with their pre-existing opinions” (Uscinski, Fake News Freakout). With the First…

    Within this essay, I will argue that Galen Strawson’s basic argument, presented in Your Move: The Maze of Free Will, is correct about the impossibility of ultimate moral responsibility. I will do this by first explaining the basic argument as proposed by Strawson, then raising an objection to it concerning the distinction between the self and the way you are by denying the second premise. And finally, I will be refuting the objection. Strawson’s basic argument can be boiled down to the simple notion that one cannot be ultimately morally responsible. He claims that anything you do in any circumstance is an effect of who you are, and the way you are.…
