if Bob is showing body language changes as in his facial expressions are showing anxiety and tension then it does not work for us to start giving orders or using nonviolent restraint because maybe a supportive staff response would help Bob became less anxious and tense. We must keep to using minimum intervention to encourage trust and relationship with Service User so we are not feared This is from my training I received. You must follow certain steps as not complying with the required
However, carrying out research on animals means that important theories can be tested that would otherwise be too wrong to test on humans. As shown by Skinner’s research on operant conditioning that involved pigeons locked in cages and first starved. Another weakness is that because behaviourists believe all behaviour is learnt, sometimes behavioural therapies for disorders cannot actually cure someone, only remove certain behaviours caused by the disorder. For example if someone was suffering from depression, a big part of depression is how the person thinks but the behaviourist perspective may not be able to change the way someone thinks because it ignores cognitive processes; meaning the
Why are scientists given such a high rank if they are the ones making animals suffer? This question may come across the mind of a person who is against testing animals in Biomedical Research. You see the reason that scientists use animals for this research is because of all the previous achievements, such as the solving of medical problems, development of new techniques, treatments, and cures for diseases. Biomedical research has led to life-saving surgical procedures, cancer therapies, organ transplantation, vaccines, safer consumer products and etc. The organs and the body systems of animals are similar to humans and to other animals, which is the basic reason why scientists use animals for this research.
Tuan Le Eng 1301 Class: M-W (10 – 11:30) March 15, 2013 An Animal’s Place There is no doubting the fact that animals do not have rights in the conventional sense, or in any other sense for that matter. The reason is because they are not moral agents; they cannot do things out of a sense of right or wrong and cannot reason, as opposed to humans. Without reasoning, they are unable to have rights and therefore, are not responsible. In “An Animal’s Place”, Michael Pollan points out the issue of whether or not it is right to consume animals. He goes to great lengths to research this topic to find a reason to eat meat.
The quality of the experiments was necessitous. In this study, Roberts (2007) states that, The anatomic, metabolic, and cellular differences between animals and people make animals poor models for human beings. Drugs that pass in animal test are not successful in human clinical tests. Animals as their matter are not germane to human health. Several can cause human diseases that can damage us instead of helping us.
Even though different cultures have different views on what is morally right and wrong, I believe when it comes to the treatment of animals it should all be standardized. In some countries it is acceptable for animals to be eaten, used in testing skin products, and even in the testing of new and sometimes lethal medicines, but this is cruel and inappropriate. Testing on animals does make some products safer on humans, but the suffering that is incurred is not worth the risk most of the time. The Diversity thesis states that there is no moral principle accepted by all societies, yet in the mistreatment of animals I believe its almost a paradigm case that is so central to the definition of evil that the unnecessary infliction of pain and suffering should be wrong for all. Animals obviously have the capacity to suffer and feel pain, and we know this because they have similar mechanisms of pain detection that we have, and in their brain have similar areas that process and react to physical as well as mental suffering.
Opposition Arguments to Different Narrowed Positions 1. Not everyone should have to be a vegetarian for the fact that animals can feel pain, but they should not have the same rights as humans. Animals are part of our food chain. They are not capable of being more than what they are. Animals do not have the ability to speak, have a thought process that can be communicated nor do they understand the human civilization.
Nonhuman Primate Research There is a huge debate over nonhuman primate. People who agree think that we would not be where we are today in several different medical areas. People who oppose feel like many of these primates are endangered and should just be left alone. So there are pros and cons to be heard and considered before making an informed decision on how you feel about it. There are many who believe that nonhuman primate research is very beneficial.
to wear a “mask” while he performs just enough to somewhat please the instructor. This proverbial mask is shed when the learner is authentically interested in something. Further, they state that many still believe that children are highly motivated by rewards. Prosser and Allen theorize that rewards “may serve somewhat when the task itself does not appeal and the mask is on. When the task itself appeals, medals are only artificial and superficial devices or worse, for the mask is off!” Prosser and Allen further state that this dual personality will persist as long as we continue to distinctualize between the artificial learning environment of the typical classroom and the natural processes of learning.
[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
