stance on the subject. Rather, the purpose is to question the moral distinction between physician aid in dying and the doctrine of double effect. Through defining these two terms and analyzing medical cases where killing a patient is morally permissible, I argue that there is no moral distinction between physician aid in dying and the doctrine of double effect. Originating from “Thomas Aquinas’…discussion of the permissibility of self-defense in the…

Memory is the ability to recall something after it has happened. There are three stages that are gone through to make a memory: the encoding, storage, and retrieval. The encoding is the initial learning or experience of an event. Storage is just the holding of information until the retrieval which is when you access the information. If there is a mishap between these stages, then the memory will be loss. These stages are vital to the making of a memory, and help filter the important information…

16-17 people at the end of the list. This position effect is called the Serial Position Effect. In this effect, we remember words at the start of the list because of the primacy effect and we remember words at the end of the list because of the recency effect. The primacy effect helps us recall words because the words at the start of the list are encoded into our long term memory where we store them until it is time to recall them. The recency effect helps us recall words because words at the…

The question “are media in the United States politically biased?” has persisted for many decades. Findings on different media effects, such as the hostile media phenomenon, have helped work toward an answer to this long-lasting question. The hostile media phenomenon (HMP) is “the tendency for people who are highly involved in an issue to see news coverage of that issue as biased, particularly as biased against their own point of view” (Choi, Yang & Chang, 2009) Research regarding the existence…

increases one’s ability to pay attention and remember new information. The benefits of getting adequate hours of sleep, in turn have drastic effects on one’s health if they do not obtain enough sleep. Sleep deprivation is known to cause a variety of issues like obesity, depression, and hypertension. Like health issues, sleep deprivation has serious effects on one’s cognitive processing…

It’s a learning curve Little responsibility. No real understanding. Very little concept of how the ‘big world’ works. These are just some of the uncounted ways of being three years old. Despite the idea of growing up isn’t thought of and talked about much it still happens to everyone which means it is still a substantially significant part of everyone life including mine, which has inspired me so much to write about my view and experience of ‘growing up.’ All though being three years old…

in a delicate balance, yet a growing awareness of climate change and its impacts on the human population has plagued humankind recently. This anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases into our environment at a global scale is generating adverse effects. These conditions will yield significant penalties for the human populace and its demographic patterns. The secretary general of the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon stated that in the twenty first century we are going to face a decrease in our…

In 2014, the National Climate Assessment conducted a study on the effects of climate change across all the regions of the United States. Three areas of concern that were induced by the study conducted in the Southeast region are rise in sea level, extreme heat, and decreased water availability. These matters bring devastating impacts on their own, however when observing the state of the Southeast, it is discovered that they are exacerbating problems the Southeast is already facing. The rate…

A Split Attention Effect in Multimedia Learning: Evidence for Dual Processing Systems in Working Memory, written by Robert E. Mayer and Roxana Moreno, discusses a study that tested students’ ability to successfully and effectively process information from two different stimuli at once. Mayer and Moreno found that students were able to perform better on recall tests when presented with an auditory list of instructions rather than a visual one. The purpose of the study, according to Mayer and…

ways to prevent, remedy, and demolish global warming and other detriments to the earth’s atmosphere. It is predicted that Canada will face a number of serious problems due to global warming, but at the same time, there are some extremely beneficial effects of this warming that will be good. The Canadian government is well aware of the impacts of global warming on Canada, but for the most part seems to focus its efforts on improving the economy and little on reducing our emissions that are…
