Thought experiment

Melissa Puentes Ms. Vinson English 4 DC- Period 7 April 4, 2015 Animal Experimentation When one speaks of animal testing, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Do you agree or disagree with the use of animals for human purpose? Animal testing has been a long heated topic for many years. Many claim that it is for the better good and it’s justified, while others say that it can be replaced and is cruel and unjust. Animal testing, or animal experimentation, is the use of animals to test…

would perform experiments on these animals. Animals have been tested on for developments…

The hypothesis for Experiment A was that each bacterium that was observed in this experiment possesses different characteristics, such as, different sizes, color, shapes, and even purposes. The reasons for this hypothesis is because, as the bacterium were being observed, it was recorded how one is uniquely different than the other. Each structure allows the bacterium to carry out different functions. However, some bacteria may occur more than once, or have a trait in common relating to another…

used. For the experiment, the maximum temperature that was tested was 50oC, this is due to the potential of breaking the test tubes due to the extreme heat. The use of the same brand of thermometer to avoid error between the manufacturing of the thermometer could have produced more reliable and valid results. Each group should have tested the equipment before hand to see whether there was any differences with the thermometer and timer. Furthermore, a limitation within the experiment is the…

graduates must have “an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data”. Engineers typically perform one of three types of experiments: a. A theoretical relationship between two or more variables is already known (or at least suspected) and an experiment is needed to verify or quantify this relationship. b. A theoretical relationship between two or more variables is not available but rather sought through an experiment. c. A new product is being developed…

In these camps “the death rates were so high, from malnutrition, typhus and exhaustion that the disposal of corpses became a serious problem.” (THE CAMPS) The treatment in transporting and caring for the victims is probably one of the main factors in the dehumanization of people during Holocaust. The victims were treated inferior simply because of their nationality. The Nazi’s made it a point to degrade these people in every way possible by taking away their rights and free will.…

IS Final Over three dollars’ worth of pennies can be held afloat in a tin foil boat. Who would have thought? Our group project allowed us to apply ourselves in a new way to teach the youth of Waverly. The skills and ideas taught in the IS Reader were applied in both developing our project and in the teaching process with the kids. The project was a significant part of the class because it allowed us to connect ideas discussed in class and apply them into a social setting. Important,…

situations and in even more dire situations. However, this skill can make us miss important information. Previously, many studies that have been done have shown that base rate information is affected with diagnostic information being present. During this experiment, we will also try to replicate the results that previous studies have done in that people will not use logic when presented with diagnostic information The results did show a main effect interaction of the base rate. This finding…

Both experiments followed pretty much the exact same guidelines as our experiment will: no technology usage for a specific amount of time, if you can’t do so, you fail the challenge. From the results of people doing these challenges we were already able to see the pros and cons of the disconnect…

performing immoral experiments to people. These experiments were started by a Japanese man named Shiro Ishii and they were performed at a site called Unit 731. Most of the experiments were on Chinese war prisoners. The experiments on this specific testing site were absolutely horrific. Many of the people who were experimented on were tricked to to enter the site through false promises of job offerings. When the people entered the sites, there was no leaving. Brutal, forced experiments were done…
