The topic of my argumentative research paper, is stem cell research. I am going to research and write about the importance and controversy surrounding stem cell research. I will discuss who are the support and activist groups, and a timeline of the United States laws. For my argumentative essay, I will explain some of the reasons why stem cell research is proclaimed to be unethical and why it can be a crucial procedure for abolishing and controlling diseases. I will provide details into which…

III. Experiment Results The in-class experiment took place using three different rats, and having all test subjects being exposed to four different situations. The first rat was used as the control subject, setting its outcomes from the experiments as the normal responses for a healthy individual rat. The first experiment was conducted to determine the normal metabolic rate for each rat. The control rat had a metabolic rate of 1465ml O2/kg/hr. This number will be compared to following numbers…

Charles Sanders Peirce’s concept of critical common sensism and unwavering faith in the scientific method makes him stand out as a revolutionary philosopher. In this paper, the epistemological philosophies of Peirce, G. E. Moore, and Wittgenstein will be discussed in order to arrive at a more complete theory of knowledge. Peirce’s pragmatic theory of truth, though in need of some modification, best captures knowledge and conquers Cartesian skepticism. First, an important distinction must be…

Like Popkin, Screech has two tasks that will be investigated: first- he has provided a translation and introduction (36 pages) for the entire corpus of Montaigne’s Essays and secondly – he has provided a stand-alone introduction (25 pages) for the translated Essay – An Apology for Raymond Sebond. Like Pokin, he will have to situate his assessment of the Apology with the broader confines of all the Essays. 3.1 The Argument of the Complete Essays The introduction to the Complete Essays is…

Why Facts Don’t Change Our Minds In a world filled with alternative facts, where individuals are often force fed (sometimes false) information, Elizabeth Kolbert wrote “Why Facts Don’t Change Our Minds” as a culmination of her research on the relation between strong feelings and deep understanding about issues. Her article articulates, and confirms, her belief that opinions are often formed with little to no factual backing, especially in today’s society, which proves to be a problem in a…

Roberto Bolaño one said, “People see what they want to see and what people want to see never has anything to do with the truth.” What he meant was that your perception is not always based on reality. Instead experience plays a huge role in our perception. People can gain experience by doing something or learning about it because experience is knowledge and the knowledge you gain affects the way you view things. Science furthermore proves that a human's point of view on topics is affected by the…

“The theme of Brave New World is not the advancement of science as such; it is the advancement of science as it affects individuals” said Aldous Huxley in the foreword to his dystopian novel. Science in the fields of biology, technology, and psychology are a big threat to society, manipulating the way they think and act, leaving humanity behind, and stealing their freedom of choice and decision. The progression of biological science remodelled society in the setting of Brave New World, the…

Osmoregulation in Cyclograpsus and Plagusia crab species Hartzer, A.M, 19971613, First year BSc student, Stellenbosch University, South Africa Abstract Osmoregulatory processes within two crab species are investigated in this practical. The Plagusia, an infratidal species, and Cyclograosus, an intertidal species, are investigated to determine which is an osmoregulator and which is an osmoconformer. The haemolymph was extracted after allowing the species to acclimatize to varying concentrations…

At the beginning stage of the study, the participants were asked to fill in the self-esteem questionnaire adapted from Coopersmith’s scale (1967) revised by the Psychometrics Center including 58 yes/no statements. In this questionnaire, in order to verify the responses provided by the learners, eight items that were determined by the developer of the questionnaire in its rating Key, were considered to check the honesty of the participants and actually acted as a lying poll. That is, if students…
