...the form of mirror neurons would surely be scrutinized more than most, as the potential of such a theory has implications across many a field in psychology. However the concept of mirror neurons may have the potential to increase any understanding of how human and animal brains may function. Furthermore, in order to discuss possible implications of mirror neurons this essay has firstly presented a detailed description for the concept of mirror neurons, supporting any explanation with relevant research. In addition to any supporting research, research providing evidence to the contrary has been provided to enable a balanced analysis. Therefore, a balanced description of mirror neurons will facilitate any critical analysis for the possible psychological implications, thereby providing a balanced argument for the legitimacy of mirror neurons. Additionally, following any analysis of relevant research, a balanced and supported conclusion was produced in order to summarise any analysed research. Accordingly, the concept of mirror neurons first came to be in the winter of 1991when a paper entitled ‘Understanding motor events: A neurophysiological study’ Di Pellegrino et al (1992), the paper was originally rejected by Nature for its lack of general interest. G. Rizzolatti, M.Fabbri-Destro (2010). However, it was this paper from the University of Parma published in 1992 by the Experimental brain journal, which first showed evidence of mirror neurons in animals. G. Rizzolatti, M...

...Throughout this essay the main aim will be to convince the reader that gender is a social construct and is socially determined. This will be done by analysing evidence, both biological and social and showing how social research is much stronger and what we can learn from it. The ways in which society determines gender will be brought to light and then the main points which biologist thinkers tend to ignore will be explained. it will then be shown why and how this can effect not just women but men as well. By doing this the reader will understand relevant research, identify the key points of how gender is socially constructed and then finally be able to realise how this is effecting individuals lives and how it would be beneficial to some...

...Introduction: In the essay Ethics and Intuitions by Peter Singer, it talks about the intuitions that people have in certain situations that have been presented. Psychologists try to use an fMRI imagining trying to figure out what part of the brain response to the certain situation. In this paper I shall give a summary about the article, and then move on to the critique. In which I have agreed with Singer that intuitions are wrong. Summary: In the essay Singer starts off with Jim Rachels example of the telephone and a reporter. The reporter gives a few facts about something is to have done, ethical issues are involved. Rachels has noted that the reporter want a short quote and more importantly a bad quote. Rachels rejected the idea that the role of moral philosophers is to take a common moral intuition as data and to find the theory that fits those institutions. “Philosophers have considered are: whether ethics is objectively true, or relative to culture, or entirely subjective; whether human beings are naturally good; and whether ethics comes from nature or from culture” (Singer 333). The past...

...The coral bleaching from different perspectives Introduction Coral reefs are highly productive ecosystem that also habitats for coastal animals and offer services to human communities (Kubicek, Muhando and Reuter 2012, p. 1). Coral reefs are places for many fishes and other living creatures in the sea to hide and live. Coral reefs also have a huge impact to human communities. Coral reefs and the beauty of living creatures that live within them have become major attraction for tourist and income for local communities. Unfortunately, human activities have caused coral reefs destroyed because of activities such as overfishing, diving, chemical pollution, reef mining and many other things (Carey 2000, p. 147). This activities lead to coral bleaching, which will become danger for many creatures that live in it. The Great Barrier Reef has lost half of its half coral reef in the last 27 years, and 10 per cent of the damage is caused by coral bleaching (De'ath 2012). Coral bleaching however impact many perspectives. From science perspective, coral bleaching has been a threat for many coral species and fishes that lives in it for they are becoming extinct and destroyed (Kubicek, Muhando and Reuter 2012, p. 1). This will leads to the less variety of the coastal ecosystem riches and incur social and economic loss to its social community. Coral bleaching also have impacts to the indigenous people. Indigenous people have used coral reef and its resources as dependence for their food supply...

...Intelligent Evolution, natural selection “states simply that if a population of organisms contains multiple hereditary variants in some trait, and if one of these variants succeeds in contributing more offspring to the next generation than the other variants, the overall composition of the population changes, and evolution has occurred.” (The Norton Reader, pg 950). Given Darwin’s theory of natural selection, there is no way that Intelligent Design can fit into the equation. As Wilson goes onto explain, “Many who accept the fact of evolution cannot, however, on religious grounds, accept the operation of blind chance and the absence of divine purpose implicit in natural selection.” (The Norton Reader, pg 954). In Jacob Bronowski’s essay The Nature of Scientific Reasoning he states that “No...

...From: Cervantes: Bulletin of the Cervantes Society of America 19.1 (1999): 158-76. Copyright © 1999, The Cervantes Society of America FORUM Against Dualisms: A Response to Henry Sullivan* HOWARD MANCING n a recent essay entitled “Don Quixote de la Mancha: Analyzable or Unanalyzable?” published in this journal, Henry W. Sullivan makes the case for the psychoanalysis of literary characters. While there is much to ponder in Sullivan's essay, there are two points, both involving dualisms, that I would like to discuss. In the first case, Sullivan argues insightfully and convincingly against an absolute distinction between how we know and think about fictional characters and how we know and think about real people. In the second case, however, Sullivan insists on an absolute (Cartesian) mind-body dualism as a cornerstone of psychoanalytic theory. I would like to repeat and extend Sullivan's argument in the first case, but refute it and deny its validity in the second. First dualism: Fact/Fiction Sullivan cites as representative of a certain widely-shared approach Maud Ellmann's insistence that there is an important distinction between a “human being made of flesh and character made of words” (5), a distinction that allows us to make one kind statement about the former but not the latter. Ellmann is not alone in making the real-life/fictional distinction a fundamental matter of ontology. We are all familiar with arguments like hers, having heard * For a response to this...

...could perform a magnificent operation. These advancements are increasing rapidly and will surely leave an impact on our economy. The aim of this essay is to anticipate how technology will impact on our future economy with contrast to the events of the first and second industrial revolutions. Technological innovations are mainly divided into five categories. Firstly, there is information management. For example, smartphones will have better functions, data storage will become bigger and cheaper and monitoring of machines, processes and people will be easier and more widespread. These improvements will help farmers monitor the weather, doctors track our vital signs, engineers keep track of road and bridge safety and businesses better predict both what and how much to produce. Moreover, robotics might be the biggest visible change in our future world. Robots have been around for a while, but the next generation will be more agile, flexible, adaptable and probably able to learn and interact with humans. These characteristics will significantly expand their use in the workplace and everyday life. We will see increased use of these modern robots in factories, hospitals, stores and the home. One big spin-off of the robotic technology would be “autonomous” vehicles — that is, cars and trucks that can drive themselves with no direct human operator. Futurists see big benefits from reduced accidents to better traffic coordination and saved driving time. However, this can result in redundancy...

...Custom Modern Medicine Versus Alternative Medicine essay paper sampleBuy custom Modern Medicine Versus Alternative Medicine essay paper cheapThis paper argues that the traditional medicine is the most effective and more reliable when it comes to treating a disease. On the most part, the paper will argue using the Traditional Chinese Medicine as its basis. This is because it’s the most advanced traditional medicine to date and a lot of research has been conducted about it. Additionally, it has been legalized in most countries.Modern medicine can be thought of as medicine that has been chemically developed in the laboratories by experts. Due to its modernity and the fact that it is developed by experts, it is the more trusted by people and governments worldwide. On the other hand, alternative or traditional medicine is medicine that is developed from herbs or treatment that is not chemically inspired. This is the type of medicine that was used in the past before there were proper and extensive studies on the chemicals. Many people have always had preferences between the two types of medications. However, the most important factor of any medication is that it should be capable of treating the respective ailment. But of the two types of medicines, which is more effective? Simply, which should be the more trusted to treat an ailment?Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) differs with Modern medicine primarily on the fundamental principles. TCM makes use of the ‘Yin and Yang’ theory as...

...-“Strauss versus Brains and Genes or the postmodern vengeful return of positivism.” This essay first started as an answer to what I deemed very problematic, i.e. the disputation which I found in bad faith (un-authentic to use a philosophical term or an existentialist term), of the mediatic, dashing Harvard cognitivist/linguist, Steven Pinker, in his article “Neglected novelists, embattled English professors, tenure-less historians, and other struggling denizens of the Humanities, Science is not your Enemy—a plea for an intellectual truce,” (The New Republic--August 19). Then the counter-arguments against Steven Pinker’s conception of the “human animal” developed into an essay arguing that the New Positivism, not science, or technology per say, was the enemy of humanism and its avatars as such. The point is not to become a postmodern anti-scientific Luddite. Genomics are changing the world in ways we barely imagine yet and will re-define what it means to be human (a becoming already imagined by science fiction writers, social critics and critical thinkers such as the feminist Donna Haraway with her “Cyborg”). The point is also not to turn “anti-brainiac.” Without a brain we would become vegetative, a vegetal…, i.e. a purely “natural body,” a “zombie.” If we make use of this “computer” allegory which is an analog but not a homologue, and which is used ad nauseam used by psycho-biologists, without a hard-drive there is no software. But is this a reason to say that the software...

"The IND contains the results from the animal studies, plans for clinical trials, and details about how the drug is made" (Drug Discovery and Development). If the application is approved the clinical trials begin and after they are finished a new application is submitted to the Food and Drug Administration for approval. The Food and Drug Administration will look at the test results from the clinical studies and could approve the drug for use it is shows it is effective and safe. The current research being done is the types of treatment for melanoma. Throughout this essay we are going to discuss the risk and benefits of therapies that target specific steps during development, the types of proteins that could be targets for treatment, and also side effects and how they can be overcome. Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer. It occurs mainly in adult women, however men and children still develop melanoma. According to the Mayo Clinic melanoma develops in the cells that produce melanin the pigment that gives your skin its color. Melanoma is mainly caused from UV radiation produced from sunlight, and tanning beds increase the risk of melanoma. People can help reduce their risk of melanoma by applying sunscreen whenever they are going to be exposed to high amounts of UV radiation and by avoiding going...
