Professor Krempe was Victor’s professor of natural philosophy at the University of Ingolstadt. He attempted to discourage Victor from studying alchemy. Professor Krempe represents that little voice in your head that tells you not to do something. If Victor had taken his advice and ended his study of alchemy, the Creature would have never been made and all of this confusion could have been avoided. Professor Waldman was the professor that piqued Victor’s interest in chemistry. Although he did…

Good Morning to the TED X conference, I am here to talk about one powerful person who changed our world and our way of thinking about something. A powerful person is one who changes the way we think, live, work and may change our lives physically or mentally. My powerful person is David Attenborough. David Attenborough has influenced and changed our way of thinking about our planet and its living organisms. David Attenborough has created documentaries about flora and fauna and land types. David…

If a person believes an illusion, they are embracing ignorance, and in a state of ignorance the person will make unclear and uninformed judgements. Freud believes science can replace religion. Science provides the answers to the questions in society without personal feelings or institutions to influence the answer. Science can be altered, changed and updated without problems. If a religion is discredited, then their belief is no longer true and cannot be changed. Freud’s argument is sensible…

*95% of animals used for experiments are not protected by the Animal Welfare Act, the only act governing animal testing. Laws protecting animals need to include test animals used for experiments and these laws should be more strongly enforced. In order to minimize the number of animals used for testing and make sure they are not mistreated, the laws need to make it harder for researchers to use animals, making alternatives more appealing. Many people would agree that animal testing is morally…

(Spielvogel 503). This was a time to escape the past and advance forward. During this time, the intellectuals were impacted by the experimental notions of the 17th century. However, the knowledge wasn't always obtained from the authentic origins. Science became prominent as the ideas were growing among the educated Europeans (Spielvogel 503). Bernard de…

The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines human pain as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage (Loeser, 2008). It is a complex sensory experience that can even be modifiable without the use of a physical harm. While in contrast, there isn’t an animal-based definition of animal pain. A commonly used definition for animals is ‘ an aversive sensory experience caused by actual…

I found the article about the microbiologist Matthias J. Schnell particularly interesting because it brings up an important ethical questions. “Is it ok to speed up the necessary steps to for vaccine approval when there is a high demand or funding becomes available?” “What happens when thorough testing is not done and possible side effects are not examined?” I can see how in desperate times speeding up procedures to have a vaccine on the market may be necessary, however I can also recognize the…

“normal” about this performance gap. This is a product of gender bias spreading through schools. I find it quite daunting that there currently remains a gender gap in mathematics considering the younger generation of teachers focuses immensely on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). I have not seen any changes in the gender gap nor have I seen any changes in the way teachers underestimate girls math…

A multidisciplinary approach involves drawing appropriately from multiple academic disciplines to redefine problems outside normal boundaries and reach solutions based on a new understanding of complex situations. For example, a multidisciplinary approach is used by the multidisciplinary team in health care with an aim to address the complex clinical and nursing needs. Also, multidisciplinary research is a pursuit of truth with the help of numerous specialized branches of learning which aims at…

Does Social Media Bring Us Closer-or Make Us Loners, written by Wency Leung, is about one main question in which Leung asks people to consider their relationship with social media and technology. In this article, Wency Leung argues how technology is distracting us from personal experience with others. She wants the reader to consider if social media and technology help create friendship or help with creating some barriers between people. Leung argues against multiple sources and uses those…
