Randomized controlled trial

The Scopes trial was the case against John Scopes, a biology teacher in Dayton Tennessee. Scopes was charged for defying Tennessee's newly placed Butler Act. This case is what catapulted the dispute of creationism versus evolution and how it should be taught in schools. The outcome of this 1925 trial affected the rest of the 19th century extensively, however as the 20th century neared, the effect became less prevalent. John Scopes was a local biology teacher and was arrested for teaching…

In the accounts of the Apology, we hear of the epic trial, that led Socrates, the father of Philosophy to his death. We have a continuation of the Greek question, what makes us human? The answer to that question which sets us apart from animals, is that we know we are going to die. Yet, we do not know when, therefore this odd, relationship with death is what makes us Human. This argument just presented, is that of the struggle that Achilles had throughout the Iliad. Antigone, written by…

influenced by a landslide. However, because the prosecution claimed that the defendant proved to be a negative influence on Athenian youth, he indirectly admitted that the youth as a whole at the time was corrupted enough to take the defendant to trial. However, this proved inconsistent with the established beliefs that both good and bad people affect those closest to them and that all of Athens, save the defendant, was a positive influence on the youth. The defendant then stated that because…

This paper is an analysis on the non-retaliation argument of the global argument that takes place in Plato’s dialogue Crito. Prior to Crito, Socrates has been arrested for corrupting the youth of Athens and showing impiety against the Gods. The dialogue opens with Socrates waiting to be executed once a ship, out on a holy mission from Delos, returns to Athens. Crito, whom the dialogue is named after, is a friend of Socrates who has come to convince Socrates to run away from the execution by…

individuals who might be guilty of corrupting our youth. One of the individuals we will put on trial for this is Meletus, the youngest of the three prosecutors that accused Socrates of this matter. Indeed Meletus has proven that he is guilty of everything he accused Socrates of. First, Meletus himself corrupts the mind of the youth by contradicting his charges against Socrates. Second,…

The Apology Analytical Summary In The Apology, Socrates defends his teachings as a philosopher. Socrates is taken to trial by Meletus because he did not recognize the gods that were distinguished by the state, for inventing new idols that were not these gods, and allegedly corrupting the Athens youth. Although the word “Apology” is used in the title, Socrates was in no way apologizing for his beliefs. In fact, he was actually defending himself and his teachings. Socrates claimed that his…

These oils have a bactericidal effect because of their ability to disrupt cell walls and inhibit bacterial enzymes (“Therapeutic mouthrinses,” 2011, p. 6). This gives the product the ability to claim antiplaque and antigingivitis qualities. Clinical trials have been done that prove a reduction in plaque by 13.8% to 56.3%, and a reduction of gingivitis 14% to 35.9% (“Therapeutic mouthrinses,” 2011, p.6). “The incorporation of broad spectrum antimicrobial mouthrinses as adjuncts to patients’…

Given the Supreme Court’s assertion that the associations and activities of the Humanitarian Law Project were a threat to national security, I believe that Plato’s Socrates would have found the decision of the Court to be unjust. Like HLP, Socrates’s behavior was perceived as a threat to the nation, in that he was impious and corrupting the youth with his beliefs. However, Socrates found that “piety” was subjective, saying that his relentless search to confirm the words of the Oracle made him…

When the child asks, “what is the grass?” he is disregarding its physical attributes, and focuses on something a little less tangible. Although the child grasps the grass in his hand, he is more concerned with the metaphysical existence of grass. The child may be able to feel the dew on the soft blades, see the green or brown coloring, and smell its distinct herbaceous aroma, but none of these qualities answer his question. Curiosity of the unknown is a feeling that people of all ages have.…

maxilla, and mandible. John Scopes, a Tennessee substitute teacher, was placed on trial in 1925 for violating the Butler Act. He taught that theory of evolution, that man is descended from the primate family. This was illegal in Tennessee because the Butler Act state anything that denied the story of Creationism forbidden to be taught in public schools. Scopes was later found guilty and fined $100. The Scopes Trials influenced the 1920s by questioning the Butler Act, altering the education…
