Systems science

This practice, originated by the Ancient Greeks, is still used in modern science, where a theory can only be held tenable if it can be verified by lab work, data, experimentation, or research. Aside from contributing to the scientific method in general, the Greeks left a wealth of discoveries- some spot on, and some that were…

Animal testing, also known as animal experimentation, animal research is the use of non-human animals in experiments that seek to control the variables that affect the behavior or biological system under study. Many say that animals that are being tested are treated humanely but many say that it's horrible and inhumane and no animals should ever be treated on how they are treated in the labs. Medical testing on animals is essential to medical innovations that will save the lives of both humans…

is explored and why is it explored. For example, why do we just put up a $1.1 billion dollar probe on Jupiter…it could possibly give us insight into the origin of the Solar System because of the mass of Jupiter. Objectives: ES.3 The student will investigate and understand the characteristics of Earth and the solar system. The key concept includes: a) the history and contributions of space exploration. GRASPS Frame for the Essential Questions with the Enduring Understanding: • Space…

In Author Thomas P. Hughes ' essay, he asks “Which came first, Technology or society”? He then goes on defining technology, and society to give readers a clear understanding of each subject, in his own words. I personally agree with the statements and facts that Hughes made throughout the whole article. Hughes (2004) states that “Technology is- and has always been-all around us. It is a fundamental part of what it means to be human and how society functions.” In that instance, he basically…

Margaret Atwood’s dystopian MaddAddam trilogy is a text that enters a speculation into a post-apocalyptic fall-out of environmental disaster and autocratic corporations, a global pandemic and extreme bio-scientific experimentation provide the catalysts for feminine subjective becoming. Atwood positions the book as a treatise on the ambiguous potential of powerful tools, and the role of humanity in determining the fit use for such tools: "Our tools have become very powerful. Hate, not bombs,…

The Benefits and Environmental Impacts of Animal Testing In the scientific community, the impacts of using animals in research have been debated for hundreds of years. Those who have interests in the matter analyze the history behind it and statistics surrounding its current use to see whether animal testing should continue. One end of the debate, the use of both domesticated and wild animals in scientific experiments has been praised for its contributions to scientific and medical advancements…

For years biologists have known and used bioelectricity, or animal electricity, the study of electrical flow in the human and animal bodies. Our muscles and nerves only work because of bioelectricity. But how was electricity in the body discovered? What led someone to study it? The answer is a combination of luck and curiosity from a scientist named Luigi Galvani. Galvani grew up and lived in Bologna, Italy. He was born on September 9, 1737 in a middle-class family. Galvani's quest as a…

For centuries, great minds have examined the debate of the Reformation, Scientific Advancement and Explorers between the 16th and 18th centuries. Many events occurred such as, The Heliocentric Theory which was first introduced by Nicholaus Copernicus. He believed that all the planets and stars did not revolve around the earth which is geocentric but instead around the sun. Later, in 1628, William Harvey discovered the function of the heart as a pump and the process in which blood circulates…

Humans are competitive and always be trying to get faster, better, stronger. Performing enhancing drugs are a major talking point in professional sports. PEDs should be legalized for research to determine for their efficacy and safety for athletes trying to go beyond the human limits. However, we shouldn’t forget to reward the players who are playing naturally. While we should allow more research in the field of PEDs, their use until their value has been assessed should be restricted in…

psychology is surrounded by hypothesis testing. The argument that psychology is not a science expresses that the mind is not precisely observable. I do not agree with this rebuttal as the full definition encompasses the “scientific study of mind and behavior.” (Psychology Textbook) I have learned that experimentation is key to understanding the complexity of the human mind. Psychology is both a biological and social science. Psychology studies…
