Psychological testing

Rifkin says that philosophers and animal behaviorists have argued about the capability of self –awareness in other animals. While some argue that animals do not have self-awareness because “they lack a sense of individualism”, others beg to differ. A counter statement that Rifkin utilizes is the remarkable actions elephants do when they are faced with a dead kin. Elephants will “often stand next to their dead kin for days,” and occasionally touch “their bodies with their trunks. After…

believe that animal testing is cruel, immoral, and completely wrong. Cosmetic and drug testing usually kills the animals, and this is not right. Some research on animals provides information used for solving biological and medical problems, but most research is used for testing commercial products and cosmetics for toxicity. Usually animals are tested with toxic chemicals that supply…

animals in testing and the inherent cruelty of it. The French Philosopher, Rene Descartes, believed that “animals were incapable of feeling pain” (Levine), but Darwin’s idea brought about that animal testing is inhumane, does not benefit humans, is inconsistent, inaccurate, and costly. No one is sure of the exact numbers of how many animals are used solely for scientific testing but the estimate is around 14 million to 100 million a year (Levine). Those numbers do not include other testing such…

Abstract-The use of testing framework has become a growing requirement in software development. This framework is a kind of software which can automate the pre-generated test cases. So, for developing test automation software an incremental and timeframe iterative approach known as Agile Software Development Methodology can be used. It provides software developers a working test framework early with respect to traditional software development methods e.g. waterfall model. In this paper, an…

research is unnecessary and does not predict human outcomes. It has become common to think that animal testing is necessary, but each year, millions of animals are killed in laboratories for drug, chemical, and cosmetic testing. Some animals are forced to breathe toxic fumes, while others have holes drilled into their skulls, causing pain and suffering. Some scientists use the excuse that animal testing has benefited human life, but by focusing on the justification that scientists have given,…

which is derived from the Latin word “vivus” which means alive. It is a type of researches which sets live animals as experimental subjects and use invasive techniques test on them.Vivisection experiments involve the uses of animals for product testing or in education and conduct researches or experiments for corporations, agricultural facilities, and military bases. According to the research more than 100 million animals are killed in the U.S. laboratories each year which does not includes…

The Harsh Reality of Animal Testing “Think about spending your entire life like a prisoner, even though you have committed no crime.” This is a reality for animals in laboratories and is accompanied with feels of deprivation, isolation, and misery. In the United States the law allows different forms of animals to be burned, shocked, poisoned, isolated, starved, drowned, addicted to drugs, and brain damaged. No matter how painful or trivial, no experiment is prohibited and not one animal’s life…

Animal testing has been a part of our society since the early 1900s. And it appears to me, that not until around 40 years ago or so, people began to realize that testing animals was inhumane on many different levels. But because we are the human beings that we are, we still try to shy away from a lot of the negative consequences of animal testing. It is easier for us to push aside that which is bad and try only to look at the positive aspects. Yet, in my opinion, the cons outweigh the pros.…

She begins to blame society for her misfortune and desires that are not acquirable by using the Devil as justification. The false accusations and chaos that ensues is much like the McCarthyism scandal of the 1950s. Senator Joe McCarthy, leader of the House Committee on Un-American Activities began as a result of communistic scares in the United States after WWII. The job of HUAC was to hunt and expose guilty people of having relations or feelings for communists. The “witch hunt” of the 1950s…

only intentions are to dissect you until you are nothing. While animal testing may help some patients with cancer and other illnesses, many ads make false claims about the effectiveness of it; ultimately justifying and prolonging the merciless acts upon myriad of innocent animals. Such an ad stood out to me while scrolling on my Pinterest feed. It was published in 2009 by the Animal Research Development Organization. Animal testing may have helped the little boy, Caleb, in the ad with cancer,…
