has been claimed to be one of the most influential critiques of natural rights, and thus human rights, ever published (Schofield, 2003, p. 2). This critique of natural rights is a theme which is present throughout Bentham’s writing, from beginning to end. Bentham’s reference to natural rights as “nonsense on stilts” is directly referring to his rejection of the notion of natural rights, and whilst some argue for the existence of natural rights, it seems that rights are generally agreed to be a…

Natural Law theory can be used as well to help us analyze and resolve this ethical dilemma. According to natural law, the moral standards that decide human behaviors come from the nature of human beings and the nature of the world around them. In this case, Mr. Doe is dying from cancer and even with further treatment, the doctor believes the patient will die from his disease. Natural law describes that we have a predisposition to preserve our lives. Mr. Doe wants to do everything that he can to…

other at an alarming rate. Using technology is essential for living in an industrialized society and I believe that there is no doubt that museums are using many different types of technology in their museum exhibits. During my museum visit at the Natural History Museum, I remember how several of the museum exhibits use video projectors, iPads or other touch devices and other forms of equipment as a way to create a new interactive experience…

Drowning into Natural World People think about their past, present and future every second of their life. They decide whatever is the best for themselves, and they move on with decisions they have made. The process of making that settlement is the hardest part because little do we know about our future. However, we make our own destiny by decisions we have made in the past. Walking into a trail and mountain has always helped me to think about everything widely open. In other words, I have…

Natural Law According to Locke the expression "natural rights" means a validity prior to the formation of the State, that is, a category of law that refers to everyone, to the extent that materializes in the so-called "State of nature". In this sense, natural law in Locke differs from any other kind of law we can wake up, is it assumes the existence of a State, consensus or any political power. The concept of State of nature, in Book Two Treatises of Government appears with a close connection…

1.0 Introduction Natural ventilation is the process of supplying and removing air by means of purpose-provided aperture (such as openable windows, ventilators and shafts) and the natural forces of wind and temperature-difference pressures. In the process, fresh air is introduced and ventilated air is removed from an occupied space. The primary aim is to preserve the qualities of air. (Amit Gupta, 2006). It may also be used to lower the temperature inside an occupied area for thermal comfort.…

Although natural selection is commonly perceived to be a mechanism of Darwinian evolution, it is scientifically impossible for this process to justify Darwin’s claim that natural selection causes species diversity from a common ancestor. Natural selection, commonly referred to as survival of the fittest, is defined as follows, “a natural process that results in the survival and reproductive success of individuals or groups best adjusted to their environment and that leads to the…

Diane Ackerman, a writer intoxicated with the senses, writes about the sensory experience of smell in the first chapter of A Natural History of the Senses. She engages the reader with an aromatic story consisting of the evolution, cultural obsession, and science of the “mute sense”, smell. From early on Ackerman asserts that smell is the most direct of all of our senses. To help support her point, she describes the mechanics on smell. She informs the readers about receptor cells containing…

different Areas of Knowledge (AOK) as a certain species, through natural selection those that are better suited for the environment survive and evolve, while those that are weaker become extinguished. This quote uses natural selection as a metaphor to relate how “evolution” of new ideas, or principles develop— just like in nature, by natural selection, different species…
