Secondly, parents should oppose vaccinating their children as a way of protection from developing autism because of the significant step of banning mercury from being included in vaccines, which was taken by the US government related to this matter (Campbell, 2004). Although the government did not openly admit that mercury poisoning could be a possible cause behind the autism epidemic, parents must remain aware to the fact that if this issue was serious enough for such action to be taken, then vaccinations are not as safe for children as health authorities want everyone to believe. Finally, parents should not vaccinate their children if they want to protect them from developing autism because enough evidence exists to support the claim that vaccinations could be to blame for the rise in autism (Kirby,
Should schools be allowed to drug test students? No it should not. Imagine yourself having to take a mandatory drug test just because the school suspects you might have done drugs. It would be a huge violation of your privacy. Random drug tests should not be allowed in schools because they are a violation of our privacy, it is against the fourth amendment, they do not deter use, and the drug tests are not always accurate.
Evolution is a well-tested explanation of how has changed over time. Nowhere does anything disprove god. Moreover, to say that evolution should not be taught in the school curriculum and religion should, is ignorant. As previously mentioned the purpose of school is to educate children about the world around them whether that be the past or present. Evolution is an idea that is taught in many schools because it educates the students about the world they live in and exposes them to a different way of thinking.
In recent years evolution is still a dodgy debate around the world. Several believe science classrooms should be a place for science, not evolution or any religious discussion. Others believe it shall not be taught inside the classroom due to fear of the unknown or knowing too much. Why is evolution still a touchy subject around the world, especially in the United States? Scopes Monkey Trial, modern United States classrooms, foreign classrooms, theories and benefits of teaching evolution should be taught inside classrooms.
People make superstitions to conquer things that cannot be reached and controlled by science and any logical reasons such as ghosts, “God”, devils, etc. They make superstition because they “fear of the unknown” (e.g., if we do not give some of our crops to the “God”, He will get angry and starvation will come to our village). Many people in the world in this century still do believe in pseudoscience and superstition. In fact, even college students believe in pseudoscientific and superstitious claims for a number of reasons. College students do believe in pseudoscientific and superstitious claims because they have been forced to learn by their cultures from their ancestor.
Sending a clone to school is a major risk because, if the other kids don’t except him no one knows how the clone will react to social rejection. If we allow scientists to start cloning, there will be a day were clones will over populate us, because they won’t just make a family
No books should ever be banned because for each book that is banned, there possibly could be one life lesson that will not be learned by the next generation. Censorship of books in schools and libraries is wrong for it limits what students can potentially learn. Books such as To Kill a Mocking Bird, Of Mice and Men, and others teach valuable life lessons, which is why they are considered classics. Books such as these are being banned for they have questionable material. In the same book introduction as the opening quote, Judy Blume wrote, “Those who were most active in trying to ban books cam from the ‘religious right’ but the impulse to censor spread like a contagious disease.
Factors which hindered the development of this disease were society’s reluctance to admit there was an outbreak which initially took place amongst the Gay community, politicians also stonewalled the issue for fear of their constituents losing faith in their ability to govern due to the religiously dominant rule, as well as individuals who were afraid to stand up and give the bare facts of what was really taking place in society. They had the perfect opportunity to stop the spread of this disease and they chose not to, all for fear of being ostracized by the general public. 6. Other major science disciplines I think that are involved in the practice of public health include, biology, immunology, rheumatology, politics, jurisprudence, environmental science, water treatment/management, waste management, and ecology to name a few. 7.
That’s all I want is just to limit the access that people have to firearms. Another argument would be to not leave people defenseless but as I stated before there are other ways to protect yourself. Right now there is a debate going on about letting people carry guns onto school campuses because of school shootings that happened in “gun-free” zones. I do not think that would be a wise idea because if any little misunderstanding, argument, or dispute went on and someone really disagreed with it, then who knows what would happen. Fights in schools happen all the time, but usually the worst of it is a couple punches thrown.
While reading the article one of the more noticeable things is the list on the front page. The list consists of a few of the things that Amy Chua’s children were and were not allowed to do, things such as attending sleepovers, be in their school play and get any grade less than an A. By western standards, any of these things would seem almost ludicrous. Why would you not allow your children to be part of their school play if they so wish? While western parents argue that, stressing academic success is not good for children (ll.
