The learning process is a lifelong adjustment to the needs and conditions that occurs in environment which surrounds people. For that reason environment plays a major role in either positive facilitation or negative impediment regarding one’s learning. Therefore we will look into environment and its influence on physical, intellectual, emotional and social development as well as language. The process of development refers to a positive change in a life of individual from a single cell to…

Arguments for and against animal experimentation Animals have been used time and again at some stage in the records of biomedical studies. Early Greek physician-scientists, inclusive of Aristotle, (384-322 BC) and Erasistratus, (304-258 BC), accomplished experiments on dwelling animals (Franco, 2013). Likewise, Galen (129-199/217), a Greek physician who practiced in Rome and became a giant within the history of medication, performed animal experiments to increase the expertise of anatomy, body…

Lomotil is a prescription drug that is often used to treat acute diarrhea. It is a combination of two different drugs: Diphenoxylate and Atropine. Diphenoxylate works by disrupting the flow of the intestinal bowels, thus preventing and eliminating frequent bowel movements. However, since Diphenoxylate has narcotic properties, taking it in large doses can lead to a sense of euphoria. This can cause the drug to be misused and abused, or sold as an illicit street dug. In order to prevent this issue…

Right now a woman somewhere is deciding between life and death. She is not deciding between her life or her death, but the life of the unborn child that she has inside of her. That unborn child has no say in if they will live or die. If the mother chooses to kill the child inside of her there are no legal actions for the murder of that child. In twenty nine states the killing of a pregnant woman and her unborn child can result in two counts of charges of first degree murder, second degree murder…

Lichenification is eventually seen, due to chronic scratching.1 Actinic prurigo can be differentiated between PMLE because it lasts longer and is more pruritic than PMLE. Cheilitis is a common associated symptom, appearing in 65% of affected patients.3 Thalidomide is a immunomodulatory drug that can be used in some individuals to treat actinic prurigo. However, caution must be maintained due to cases of severe adverse drug reactions.1,15 Antihistamines can also be used to help relieve pruritus.1…

The True Pain Of Safety Over many continents and through many time periods animal testing has had a strong presence in science. Many places and companies today have discontinued the use of animals due to its, at times, extremely inhumane practice. Though without the use of animals, many important discoveries, procedures, and vaccines wouldn’t have been found. Animal testing, though some has been found to be cruel, is a helpful tool for future discoveries, and should be continued today…

Animals all over the globe are sitting in a cage right now, scared, cold and alone waiting for the next experiment to be done to them. They sit in this cage longing for the day that they are able to free, if they survive the experiments or if they are of no longer need to the scientists. Every year there are millions of animals killed in laboratories from the tests and experiments done to them. These poor, defenseless animals are poisoned, shocked, and burned during these tests and are often…

Animal testing was revived in Greece about 2300 years ago; however, it became widely used only from 1850 (Understanding animal research, 2015). After this time, many breakthroughs were made such as insulin for diabetics, hepatitis C vaccine and medicine for epilepsy, which have saved countless number of animals’ and humans’ lives (AMP, 2015). Today, we have developed many alternatives to animal testing, thanks to new technologies, which are used to develop and test new medicine and treatments;…

Imagine a world without vaccines, antibodies or even organ transplants. These are few out of the many medical wonders that resulted from animal testing. Animal testing has been around since the 500 B.C. It has contributed to humanity dramatically and made a huge impact on our lifestyle. As technology advances many argue that animal testing should not be used for biomedical research because it is humane, the truth of the matter is animal testing have and continues to contribute to not just…
