In global societies, discussions concerning the use of animals in medical tests for research are uncomfortable and controversial. Modern technology often broadcasts horrific photos of procedures being conducted on helpless creatures accompanied by claims of untrustworthy results and skewed statistics. In the long run, animals will continue to be used for testing in laboratories until the value of the practice is diminished. “The benefits of animal research have been enormous and it would have severe consequences for public health and medical research if it were abandoned “ (Festing and Wilkinson, n.p.). This paper will present information regarding whether animal testing ...

The administration of proper medication is essential to the treatment of a health complication. As such, medical practitioners need to enforce proper measures in the issuance of medicine to enhance the betterment of patients (Bojesen et al. 375).

Since the maintenance of confidentiality is essential to the success of the medical practice, the practitioners’ and patient’ ...

Thesis: Making use of the limited world resources to satisfy the increasing human population requires the knowledge of ecology and geography of the different biological diversity.

Introduction

Making use of the limited world resources to satisfy the increasing human population requires the knowledge of ecology and geography of the different biological diversity.

Protection of species

Human activities are the main causes of species extinction. Biogeography provides information that is crucial in the establishment of habitats. This information takes into account the optimum environment suitable for the species.

Accessing environmental impacts

Biogeography is used in assessing environmental impacts of new land developments using a formal process. The ...

At present, the consensus view among social scientists reflects the idea that human races are socio-cultural constructions, but the persistence of the notion of a biological reality behind “race” is undoubtedly enduring both in popular culture and among scientists. Garner (2009) offers a sufficiently elaborate explanation for the misconception of race as a biological and genetic reality. A closer look at the socio-cultural reality behind “race” will reveal not only socio-political narratives that systematically re-inscribe racial categorization, but also the commercial and technological themes behind the socio-cultural concept of “race”. Garner (2009, pp. 1-5) emphasizes the reality that the lines between ...
