Thought experiment

Imagine you were thrown in a cage, or beaten up for no real reason at all, or even being forced to do something you do not want to do, only to entertain others. This is how millions of animals are being treated today. It is unacceptable for people to do this to other living creatures, and it should be stopped. Over a million animals are abused and killed every year despite the fact that animal cruelty is a felony which can result in jail time of over 15 years and a $500,000 fine. This type…

A House For A Better Tomorrow Advances in technology have helped people to evolve and spend more time doing the things they love, but everything in this world comes to a point where advancing becomes dangerous. Ray Bradbury's short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” describes a house that has endless technological amenities to help the residents live a more comfortable lifestyle. However, machines in the home could malfunction and it could create disaster and death for the residents. When…

All throughout history, science and technology has bettered the lives of men everywhere. However, Oryx and Crake, by Margaret Atwood, explores a world where scientific advancement does more harm than good. The pharmaceutical companies in the novel have gone beyond creating medicines to battle disease and bodily dysfunction. Their expansion into genetically modified animals raises questions about what exactly comprises nature.Margaret Atwood uses the literary elements of theme and character,…

Introduction This experiment was conducted to measure the change in the Planarian’s speed according to different light frequencies. This experiment is relevant to a Planarian’s natural life as Planaria live in many different environments, and under several light variations. Planaria are found in both salt and fresh water, as well as amidst logs, soil, and a variety of plants (Conservation Commission of Missouri, 2015). This immense variety of environments corresponds with a variety of light…

1. It is necessary to list the experimental conditions when reporting a chromatogram because it will allow universal comparison. In the event that you want to compare your results with a colleague, the factors that can affect the results are listed and taken into consideration to get an accurate comparison. 2. The type of column used is listed, this column contains the stationary phase and the mobile phase is pumped through the column under pressure. The dimensions of the column are listed as…

Each member of the team recorded their own data which can be found in tables in Appendix A. When measuring, advantages and disadvantages when noted about each device. The small slide ruler was very precise, but the downfall was that it was too short to measure longer items. The ruler was convenient to use but its precision was limited by the lack of marking smaller the sixteenths of an inch. The tape measure allows for measuring very large objects while still proving to be very precise, but…

subsequently. Two experiments were conducted. In the first experiment, forty-five participants watched videos of traffic accidents, ranging from five to thirty seconds long. After watching each video, the subjects were asked questions about the accident, with the crucial question being “About how fast were the cars going when they hit each other?”, but different groups of participants were asked with different verbs, such as “smashed” and “bumped”. The results from this experiment indicate that…

patients. Laboratory strains of mice, however, are highly inbred, reared in artificial environments, and do not experience the same selective pressures as wild populations, such as the ability to forage and to elude predators. As a result, biomedical experiments conducted on laboratory strains may not be reflective of processes occurring in naturally reared mouse populations, and indeed, may not be reflective of what occurs in human patients. Open field tests are a standard method of assessing…

There were a total of 30 participants in the experiment. This was not a huge amount of participants, but it was enough for the researchers to maintain more control in the study. The participants were children (ages 7-11) and adolescents (ages 12-16) who were diagnosed with MDD at least 5 weeks prior this study in the NYS Psychiatric Institute in New York City. Before the study began, the researcher made sure the participants were not receiving any medications or therapy after being diagnosed to…

According to U.S labs, up to 100 million animals die each year due to animal experimentation in the lab? Animal experimentation is helping the understanding of diseases and new surgical techniques on both human and animals. Animal experimentation also helps the understanding of the correct medicine to use for any specific sickness they might have. Animal experimentations are very harmful the the animal body and is very cruel. Animals both small and large are taken away from their natural…
