The Human Factor

some religious beliefs. Many people who are religious believe humans are made in the image of God and by saying humans and animals are very similar is taking away the idea of God. The biological makeup of everything should not be the determining factors of whether they deserve rights or not. Hitler was an example of a person who used biological make up to defend his actions. This is proof that the biological similarities between humans and animals should not make them deserve rights. (Carlin)…

Animal experimentation Humans depend on controversy to obtain an ominous view of all the facts to make an educated decision. While many humans can never unanimously agree on a whole heartedly ethically inclined decision, it can help create progress especially in cases of animal cruelty. Although many people are against animal cruelty, the controversy is dictated to people’s opinions on whether animal experimentation is more helpful or more harmful. Animal experimentation is incredibly…

genetics within reared-apart twins a top factor? The Minnesota Twin Family Study (1999) that took place over 20 years, led by Thomas Bouchard, studied 137 pairs of twins, 81 identical and 56 fraternal twin sets. With some 170 additional studies relating genetics and environment factors associated to human development (Twins Separated at Birth Reveal Staggering Influence of Genetics, 2014). However, where is the line between gaining scientific knowledge into human development and the ethical…

necessary for human health. However, many tests have proven that animals make poor test subjects for humans. Many tests that have passed in animals ended up failing in humans. 94% of tests that passed have failed in human trials; for example, over 85 vaccines for HIV worked well in primates but failed in humans. Using animals are testing subjects can lead to misleading research. Science is making biologists kill off animals who are innocent and will most likely fail the tests in humans even if…

Motivation is a powerful force that affects human behaviour. Countless studies have been carried out in order to quantify the extent it has on human behaviour. However, human beings can be catergorised into many groups such as, culture, race, religion and all of it affects our perception and how we act. Even globalisation and the increasing interaction between different groups of people cannot bring about homogeneity across the human race. Thus, no one theory can adequately interpret and explain…

Watson wrote many books as her mid-range theory developed. Her first published work, Nursing: The Philosophy and Science of Caring(1979), provided her students with a framework on how to care for patients. The carative factors and caritas model were based on Yalom’s eleven curative factors. Medicine is curative, so distinguishing nursing as a profession based on caring principles helps to delineate nursing from medicine as a separate science (Alligood, 2014, p. 86). Watson defines her theory as…

people. Likeability with the general population has now become a crucial design factor in the manufacturing of android robots. Reports of negative reactions involving humans and robots has led to the supposed existence of an ‘Uncanny Valley,’ a range in human perception where “imperfect human-likeness provokes dislike” (Mathur & Reichling, 2015). Past studies involving the ‘Uncanny Valley’ often use images of humans and robots that have been morphed together, enhanced by unnatural warping, to…

infanticide, it was seen only as abnormal and counterproductive behaviour. Anthropologists could not discover any positive reasons for primates to engage in infanticide. This is partly due to the fact that infanticide is seen as criminal and deviant in human society. A second reason was due to a lack of evidence and insufficient research done about infanticide. Initially, infanticide was considered bizarre because under natural conditions, animals of the same species rarely kill each other.…

years (Smith & Parker, 2015). She is also the creator of the original Center for Human Caring at the University of Colorado Health Sciences (Smith & Parker, 2015). Dr. Watson caring theory is very famous in the nursing world. The three big elements in her theory are the transpersonal caring relationship, carative factors, and caring moments between nurse and patient (Lachman, 2012). Earlier on, the original carative factors were often referred to as “ core of nursing”( Smith & Parker,…

americans were more intelligent than those of different race (Diamond 20). However, it has come into realization that intelligence differs when concerned with the social environment and educational opportunities; thus proving that it is not a leading factor to national development. Growing in an social environment promotes intellectual development, which thus brings forth intelligent adults that are more capable of surviving in vast conditions. Even with the different levels of intelligence, it…
