Thesis: Cryptozoology is the search for animals whose existence has not been proven, some of these animals are well known to the public, others aren’t; despite all of the criticism Cryptozoology faces, one thing is known for sure: the animals it studies are extraordinary. I. A Brief History: Cryptozoology represents the original way animals were discovered and studied. a. The term Cryptozoology was coined in 1959 i.
At first, he talks about how different it is to observe the whales rove in the wild comparing to those he had seen in the Vancouver Public Aquarium. He wonders if a wild animal imprisoned in a small pool can ever be considered “happy”. Continually he discusses the use of primate, which he thinks is most controversial. Here he makes the first quotation from the famous chimpanzee expert, Jane Goodall, to support his arguments and make the essay more convincing. Goodall describes the horrible conditions that the chimpanzees are enduring in laboratories.
You’re instinct was to run as fast as you can but you go closer eager to see what creature had made that sound? What you see before your own eyes are two humongous dinosaurs T-Rex and a Spinosauras. Now you might be thinking that T-Rex is stronger but research has shown that amazingly the Spinosauras will prevail. Although in the past they had never faced off in a fight before because they lived in different times of the cretaceous period. First reason is that the Spinosauras has a height of 14 ft. but don’t forget that it has a spine growing on its back, while the T-Rex is only 13 ft. Second reason is that the speed of the Spino is fast and it will be harder for the T-Rex for it focus on it and, cause a full force attack on the Spino because the T-Rex also has bad eyesight.
Discuss methodological issues in the study of psychokinesis (4 marks + 6 marks) There are many methodological issues with research into psychokinesis, one being that it’s highly fraudulent. Many times which individuals who claim to be able to do psychokinesis tend to not be able to show their ‘powers’ when put in controlled settings. The existence of macro-PK should be able to be easily demonstrated under controlled conditions however, till this date, no compelling evidence has been produced and hence a great focus is put on micro-PK, frankly because it can easily be shown through trickery. An example of fraud in psychokinesis is Uri Geller, who was the most well-known person for psychokinesis abilities and claimed to have powers that he used to bend spoons, stop clocks, be telepathic etc. Gellar, however, would never be able to reproduce his powers when asked to perform on the spot.
Animal testing is a very controversial issue today. It can also be referred to as vivisection, which literally means the cutting up of living animals. Philosopher Aristotle is one of the first to have experimented on animals in the 4th century. Testing started out in the medical field but later spread to other fields such as cosmetics, food, and science. In 1890 a Russian physiologist, Ivan Pavlov, demonstrated ‘classical conditioning’ on dogs.
The discovery was due to the constant search and excavation of the inside of the Liang Bua cave. The bones when found initially were described to have the strength of “wet paper” so archaeologists had to dig with caution due to the delicate state of the bones. The remains of the partial skeleton were found at a depth of 5.9m. Stone tools and the bones of species such as dwarf elephants, giant rodents, and Komodo dragons were discovered in the same sediment deposits in Flores, which contained the Skeleton. Due to the size of their brain scientists believe that perhaps they didn’t make the tools and that I was the homosapiens.
The episodes usually observe one person more closely than the others, initiating flashbacks from before the flight or flash forwards from after the island. As a result of this, we learn about the peculiar lives of each of the main characters who seem to all have a major secret or challenge. The survivors feel the island isn’t normal, after spotting a polar bear and an unknown “smoke monster” living in the deep jungle. The main characters of the show are Jack Shephard, Kate Austen, Sawyer, Benjamin Linus, John Locke, Hurley, Sun & Jin Kwon and Sayid Jarrah among others. These characters vary from a Spinal Surgeon to a Conman to an Iraqi Torturer.
The Morality of Killing Animals: An Investigation in Utilitarian Ethics. Research Question The killing of non-human animals remains an unsolved problem in utilitarian ethics and has generated heated debate amongst ethicists in recent times. My aim is to illuminate this issue, specifically the morality of killing animals when it is done painlessly. In doing so I intend to tackle several questions: What, if anything, makes killing wrong? Does the wrongness of killing animals (human and non-human) depend on them possessing specific attributes?
[12]And in these cases, Using Drugs Directly on Humans Involves a Great Deal of Risk. Fourthly, Testing on animals is not as casual a phenomenon as it might sound. The license for testing on animals is granted only when it is sufficiently proved that there are no available alternatives to animal testing. Besides, these tests and laboratory experiments are conducted under the expert supervision of a panel of professionals that include veterinarians and members of various public and animal welfare
People have yet to realize that their favorite type of deodorant or those good-smelling fragrances they like to put on were once tested on animals. These animals are forced to swallow or inhale large quantities of a test substance or endure the pain of having chemicals applied to their sensitive eyes and skin (Peta). Many times the results of animal tests are often not applicable to humans, but even if a product has blinded an animal, it can still be marketed to you. Many testing centers keep such animals out of their natural surroundings, until time to experiment on them. Throughout that time these animals become so unadapt to their new surroundings, they become less likely to return to their natural state which gives those experimenting more reason to test them.
