Standardized testing can be unfair based on the grading, and unhelpful in predicting how well a student would do which is defeating the purpose of standardized testing (Murphy).…

Other factors which make wages unequal are economic and social factors. Milia Fisher enlightened her readers about the racial profiling of jobs and in her article, “Women of Color and the Gender Wage Gap.” Women of color (African-American and Hispanic/Latina women) are more likely to work occupations such as service sectors, while Caucasian women and Asian Americans are least likely (Fisher).

Human factors to be considered include ergonomics, fit, ground reaction force, weight, durability, stability, and cushioning. Ergonomics dictates good posture. In order to maintain good posture, referred to as 'neutral posture ', the muscles of the body must be in balance to support an aligned spine13. The design of this shoe must take ergonomics, perception, quality control, and biomechanics into account. Fashion has been a deciding factor in the shoe industry over the last decade.14 For…

considered as a healthy weight for a given height is described as overweight or obese. Body Mass Index, or BMI, is used as a screening tool for overweight or obesity in children overweight is defined as a BMI at or above the 85th percentile and below the 95th percentile for children and teens of the same age and sex (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016).

Animal testing is an inhumane, ineffective method of research. One reason is that these tests do not transition successfully into human trials. There is a low percentile of human diseases that are seen in animals. Over 98% of these illnesses never affect animals. Smoking was originally thought to be non-carcinogenic; this was because the cancer which was caused by smoking was difficult to reproduce in laboratory animals. Another reason that animal testing is ineffective is because of the…
