Health sciences

to study Biomedical science is driven by my curiosity in the function of the human body along with my desire to promote health and care for others. Through this degree, I wish to work in a medical field with thrilling technological advances and to apply my scientific knowledge to diagnosing diseases. I'm anticipating learning about the topics in this course as a biomedical science undergraduate. Studying Chemistry has given me the opportunity to explore my interest in science and I enjoyed…

BIOL 104 – Week 1 Module: Process of Science questions 1. The seven common characteristics define our life. First, all organisms consist of cells and form a total organization. Second, all organisms are able to balance internal function and homeostasis. Third, as the environment changes, all organisms also change and develop. Fourth, all organisms need to absorb energy to maintain health condition, so that it can increase metabolism. Fifth, all organisms can overcome outside environmental…

Science will always have a place in society no matter how far into the future we look. It is a key element of new knowledge, new discoveries, and new technologies. We live in a world that does not simply hand us all the answers. There is no ‘’cheat sheet’’ for the secrets of life. This lack of omniscience opens the door for numerous “what ifs”, “whys” and “hows” about the universe and our existence. Ergo, there will always be a need for science to help us to understand how things work.…

taxes. I would add one more to the wise Mr. Franklin's list: change. Since the beginning of recorded history, societies have experienced change. Change at one time was slow and gradual, like the carving of rock with water. However, science and the application of science-technology has made the changes happen much faster. Since the Industrial Revolution in the 1880's, we've been on a rapid ascent of technological progress. Technology has brought rapid changes that have altered our society…

Introduction This paper aims at critically analyzing the role played by the knowledge possessed by nurses and how it helps in the delivery of services in health cares. The research also seeks to highlight the importance of the resources used by nurses to acquire the much-needed knowledge (Barker, 2009). The staffing crisis problem occurs when knowledge in the provision of care is limited in nursing. When nurses lack adequate knowledge in providing care, it is equal to not having enough staff.…

Psychology is a vast field that is rapidly growing and changing, as science is better able to look into the human brain and body. To learn about a field that has made so many dramatic changes over the last few centuries, it is important to understand what the goal of the field is and how to achieve those goals. Psychology is the study of the human condition, and while the field of psychology has changed throughout time, its purpose remains the same- to better understand how and why humans act…

view, people with mental health problems are likely to be discriminated and treated poorly. This stigma can worsen a person’s condition and make them feel trapped. In the mental health field, autonomy is seen to clash with beneficence in cases of individuals with mental illness. Inclusively, autonomy permits each patient to have control over their own bodies; to accept or refuse treatment. With beneficence it varies due to each patient’s circumstance. Generally, each health care professional…

Throughout human history scientists have discovered and published theories and ideas which are often shared by other scientists and the general public, some of them more widely accepted than others, whilst others were simply rejected. At times, because of ethical and moral differences in the way different people view the same things, these theories are controversial. Today there are many controversial concepts or theories, some of which are the use of uranium (to improve mankind’s quality of…

In the 21st century, it may seem as though we have come a long way from primitive humans and embraced the era of science and technology. But as I walk through my neighbourhood and see churches, temples and mosques, I am saddened to say that we have not evolved very much at all. It is alarming to see governments taking our hard-earned taxpayer’s money to build these useless structures dedicated to worshipping non-existent deities. It is even more alarming to see rational, educated adults wasting…

The idea of public health is to promote a safe environment to protect the health of the population. As times progress, science has drastically changed. What scientists back then would believe to be impossible has now been achieved. Technology is one of the main reasons for allowing us to advance in science. As the research and discoveries expand our knowledge and understanding it also provides the ability to inflict and create biological weapons. Genetic engineering progressed causing…
