As many may have noticed, the most prominent and popular myths about science and religion emerged during the nineteenth century. Some may declare that a dialogue of civilizations led to the emergence of modern science while others may disagree. It is revealed that different areas of the world have contributed to many different aspects of modern science and the development throughout the centuries. Areas around the world such as Asia, Africa and Middle East have demonstrated traditional and…

to findings about stem-cell research, artificial skin development, and 3-D organ printing. This new way of life can come a long way because “you can’t have a new drug that will grow a new liver or a new heart”(Institute of Medical Engineering in Science). These organs will be created in a more effective way and can save many more lives rather than waiting on the transplant…

case for the Lackses, a family which has experienced minimal benefit from a scientific discovery directly related to a family member. The Lackses, relatively poor and uneducated, must cope with many disadvantages, most notably an inability to pay for health care. This is an unfortunate aspect of their lives, and…

change and how it is going to affect us, it isn’t a film on why smoking is bad or why chemicals like DDT should be banned; it is simply about the illusionary tactics used repeatedly by businesses to mislead the public about the conclusiveness of science that would be detrimental to their company’s profit. Climate scientists who are also climate change deniers are very few and in between, but somehow…

Introduction Women currently hold roughly 25% of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) jobs in the United States, despite a roughly equal representation in the workplace as a whole (Beede 2011). It seems as though our society has accepted the presence of women in the workplace, on the condition that women only occupy jobs deemed suitable for their gender. Harvard president Lawrence H. Summers made a speech in January of 2005, claiming that the reason women are…

Nursing is a harmonious blend of art and science. Unfortunately, the process of art and science can be prolonged whether intended or not. Dr. Howard Markel (2013), reflects on one of the most groundbreaking discoveries that “changed the course of modern medicine” in a monthly column for the PBC NewsHour. In September of 1928, a bacteriologist, Alexander Fleming, returned to what appeared to be a messy lab but actually included one great, accidental finding. Fleming discovered penicillin when he…

Research is conducted for a wide variety of reasons, Kraska and Neuman defines crime and justice research as a collection of social science methods applied systematically to generate knowledge about crime and justice phenomena (Kraska & Neuman, 2012). Although their definition pertains to crime and justice, it can also be applied to research in general at its most basic level in that research is conducted to generate new knowledge, or offer a solution to an existing problem (Kraska & Neuman,…

been successful in helping humans discover characteristics regarding illnesses such as heart disease and cancer that plague a significant portion of our population. Understanding the diseases that harm humans is extremely important for the future of science and medicine. However, genetics is not the only thing that rats share with humans. They also share intelligence, emotions and sociability, yet the Animal Welfare Act does not consider them to be animals under their federal law due to a change…

approving the safety of drugs. Hence, millions of unhealthy people have been helped indirectly by animal testing. However, animal testing is beneficial for human only and not for the animals used. Most of the animals which give great contribution to the health of world's dwellers are cruelly slaughtered during experiments and not well treated in drug-development laboratories. Animals, like human, also have rights to be freed from suffering and treated well. We, as human beings, must understand…
