Our senses are a part of us, however we are not always consciously aware of all of our senses at every moment. Moreover, our senses, can guide our behaviors and actions, even those senses we are consciously aware of. For example, a person who received a positive comment, earlier might be compelled to donate to an organization few hours later. That individual might have done this action because his/her mood was affected by the compliment, but that individual might not exactly be aware of that.…

about animal welfare. Consider a cute little dog that has been in a family for several years. The family dog has gone missing. He is lost and roaming the streets in search for his owner. Unable to find his owner, animal control finds him and take him off the streets. After weeks of no one claiming him, a company that produces different kinds of household products like floor cleaners, and bleach take not only this lost dog, but also several…

) 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,…
