All the experiments done on animals are in no way beneficial to humans. Whether these animals have a good or bad reaction to the substances all the products will still go out on the market, placed on store shelves for people to purchase them. The cosmetics industry does the same type of experiment on animals. According to a New York Times article, L’Oréal, Covergirl, and Procter and Gamble, to name a…

) or as the "awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation." ("Knowledge." Merriam-Webster. Merriam-Webster. Web. 28 Feb. 2015.). Through these definitions, knowledge can be obtained through passive observation and active experiment. Therefore, the knowledge question of this essay is to what extent are passive observation and active experimentation a vital factor in producing knowledge in mathematics,…

research, which caused speculations that these fields are currently in a crisis. Recently, an initiative called “Reproducibility Project” was conducted at the University of Virginia that reran 100 psychology experiments from three reputed psychology journals and stated that over 60% of the experiments failed to replicate (Barrett, 2014). Three famous studies that were cited numerous times and which form basis for many research studies, that failed to replicate in this project were Free will and…

they live in that might or might not led them learn more. Another implication for the study is that when the study was conducted the subject where already half way through learning and maybe the results were not affected or were affected by the experiment. Another implication for the study is that they only limited themselves to a small (one are or school district) that its results might not apply to all. My reactions to the study are sort of on the personal point of view because I do think that…

testing hypotheses, cause and effect relationships, and manipulating conditions in the form of an experiment. In the experimental research design, the experiment consists of two variables, the independent variable and the dependent variable. The independent variable is the variable predicted to have an effect on the other variable. The dependent variable is the variable predicted to be affected. In an experiment the researcher manipulates the independent variable in order to see if there are…

While reading about hormones and criminality, we have learned that testosterone and PMS has led to a lot of aggression. After, reading this section in our text, and I will form my own opinion as to the merit of these two biological issues. Regardless of my opinion, I want you to know I do not support a mandatory blood test on all those arrested for aggravated crimes, to begin a study into this anomaly. Also, I do feel a mandatory test would be a violation of their individual rights(Schmalleger,…

Intro: Does color affect memorization? Many advertisements you may see on tv use bright colors instead of dark ones but why? Well for this project I will conduct an experiment figuring out whether color can affect one’s memory. And I predict that color does affect one’s memory because if “warmer” colors stand out compared to “cooler” colors then it would be easier for the human brain to remember. And based on research one way that color can affect memorization is that if a word is printed in…

In the paper entitled, “An Experimental Examination of Rational Rent Seeking,” Potters, de Vries and van Winden (1998) explore the power of the rent-seeking model through laboratory experiments. Rent Seeking was an idea that was first developed by Gordon Tullock in 1967 in his classic paper, “The Welfare Costs of Tariffs, Monopolies and Theft.” In this paper, he discusses three separate but still related phenomena. Firstly with tariffs, he considers how import-competing industries spend real…

While the experiment was indeed fascinating to watch, several strengths and weaknesses existed in the research. In the beginning of the episode, Adam and Jamie went to Stanford University to look for a suitable measure for pain tolerance. They were introduced to four standard measures of pain, including extreme heat, capsaicin injection, electricity, and cold pressor test by Dr. Chu, who specialize in pain. After testing out themselves, the hosts of the show chose the cold pressor test (Rees,…

understand was that we could not adapt so easily. By day 3, we were feeling the effects that the lack of technology was having on us, and by day 5, we were completely ready to throw in the towel (and we all did). During the various steps of our experiment, we did make a big change to our methodology. Namely, we decided to include a survey, which we gave out to young children at Saint John’s Catholic School. We found that even at an early age, kids were beginning to ingratiate technology into…
