Essays on Elimination

In Tom Regan's article “The Case for Animal Rights,” he makes the case for the rights of animals on the basis of equal treatment of all living things that possess inherent value. He argues that morality should be centered on the equal treatment of all living entities, rather than the reduction of suffering and the amplification of pleasure. Consequently, Regan's involvement in the animal rights movement is based on three issues: the elimination of all commercial forms of animal testing, animal agriculture and animal hunting. Ultimately, Regan's argument stands as a sound defense for animal rights on the grounds ...

The acquisition of Whirlpool over Maytag resulted in complementary advantages since Maytag shareholders received both cash and Whirlpool stock while Whirlpool expanded its product and service offerings (Fox, 2006). The acquisition effect is an increase in brand portfolio variety and potential improvement in production efficiency (Whirlpool, 2005, p.7). However, this acquisition occurred during one of the most challenging external environments due to a continuing increase in both material and oil-related costs (Whirlpool, 2005, p.6). This was further worsened by a decline in consumer demand within its U.S. market (Whirlpool, 2006, p.5). Whirlpool countered by increasing the number of new ...

What does the margin of error tell us about a sample taken from a large population? How does the confidence level for a sample outcome differ from the sample’s margin of error? The margin of error is a numerical value that expresses or estimates the likelihood of error in an experiment’s results. Thus, it can somehow account for the statistical significance of a result. If it is smaller, then the likelihood of error is also small, making the results more credible. Smaller sample sizes from a large population generally have a larger margin of error while larger ...

Public debate over the need for establishment of powerful, effective, and accessible mechanisms of human rights protection can be heard worldwide and at all the levels, including the official one.

Climate change, in contrast to what a surprisingly large segment of the public thinks, does indeed pose a significant threat to the way that we live. What makes a thorough understanding of the dangers of climate change is the fact that its effects are rarely large, one-time calamitous events, such as a terrorist attack; but rather slow persistent changes, like a small leak in a boat that, while dangerous, lull people into the belief that nothing is happening or that the situation is manageable. In addition, as Newton theorized in his third law, for every action there is an ...
