In his discussion of life's meaning, Schlick exposes a fundamental dilemma all humans face. In pursuing goals, humans are frequently dissatisfied by unmet goals and frustrated hopes. Paradoxically, in attaining specific goals humans experience s sense of void and desolation. Given how humans view existence, purpose cannot fulfill human needs. Further, life just becomes meaningless. If purpose drives human endeavors, life maintenance becomes existence's sole purpose. In fact, argues Schlick, existence can only be valuable if life is of rich content and contains valuable states and activities. Thus, a purpose-free, so to speak, life is, paradoxically more meaningful than Continue reading...

It is indeed true that animal research and testing has greatly benefited humans in as far as health and medicine are concerned. Today, polio cases are unheard of safe for a few developing nations that have also tried so much to combat it. That is so because vaccines have been developed and tested on animals and have proven to work. Many advances in vaccines have been developed, and their viability has been proven because they have been tested on animals. But despite the benefits humans seem to enjoy, the debate is raging high as to whether animal testing is Continue reading...

As an egalitarian, Peter Singer champions for equality as a basic moral principle and proposes that both humans and animals should be considered equal. He argues that pain and pleasure are both constituents of our moral values and that whenever a being is affected by an action, its interests should be put into consideration and given the same level of importance as those of any other being. Based on this, all beings possess interests hence should be treated equally with humans. I will argue against Singer on the grounds that animals are less important than humans based on the Continue reading...

The ancient Greeks were recognized as the world’s pioneers in studying science, philosophy, and mathematics. One of the contributions of the Greek culture was the Greek mythology which explains the formation of the universe as well as the creation of the mankind. The most noticeable structure of the Greek pantheon was the depiction of gods and goddesses with human attributes. Although the deities have human attributes, their existence in the Greek culture made the humans to become aware of the society hierarchy. For centuries, the subject concerning the Greek mythology brings delight to many people as it provides Continue reading...

Before humanity had the ability to settle down into stationary villages and permanent settlements, the groups of people on the planet were largely migratory. They followed the food and the resources that they needed to survive; it was not until much later, when human beings began to be able to domesticate plants an animals, that humanity was able to settle into permanent villages and form true communities. In the years before this was possible, humanity spent much of its time and energy ensuring that the people of a group of hunter/gatherers could survive on a daily basis.
Human beings Continue reading...

Can we distinguish animals from humans?

In my view, if there is no difference to distinguish from humans, then why can’t the chimps write the articles? Be musicians? Or make macaroni? It seems that humans have something in common with animals, but they also have a huge difference when compared with animals. We both have the ability to understand our own language but are different in forms of expression. We both have thoughts but are different in ways of thinking and behavior. In my view, humans can be distinguished from animals in terms of the intelligence, spirit (law, response, morality and persuasion), behavior (self-control, Continue reading...

Introduction

“Cogito ergo sum” is one of Descartes famous philosophical ideas, utilized for arguing the humans’ sense of reasoning. Implicitly, the theory also claims that only humans are capable of reasoning, because reasoning describes their existence, and not that of other beings. In other words, only humans are gifted with the quality of thinking rationally, while the animals, birds, insects or any other form of living organism is not capable of reasoning. The main objection to this argument is that reasoning is a characteristic that defines not only humans, but also other living organisms, which possess the ability to think, Continue reading...

Meat eating and Veganism

It is quite controversial on why, individual eat meat while being vegan is not in itself controversial. This subject ignites a lot of debate among various people in the society. It is argued that being a vegetarian or vegan is ideally a choice of striving to stay healthy, but coincidentally individuals are failing to understand why it is that individuals who diet on meat are also healthy. Some people who choose not to eat meat have gone to the extent of avoiding all animal products including milk, eggs, cheese and additionally honey which leaves unanswered questions about what is Continue reading...

Scientists conduct testing on animals in order to better understand a particular disease, develop new medical preparations or test the safety of a drug. The use of animals for scientific purposes causes a lot of contradictory reactions. Some people believe that this is not a moral problem. Others take opposite opinions. They are convinced that testing on animals should be banned. Each year scientists conduct experiments on millions of rabbits, monkeys and mice. In most cases, they are used for developing and testing the drugs that treat human diseases. In addition, animals are also used for testing the safety Continue reading...

Empathy undergirds the epistemological basis of universal morality. Psychologists and neurobiologists have identified two types of empathy: “affective empathy,” or the feelings and sensations of an individual in response to another person’s emotions, which often manifests itself in the emulation of perceived emotions; and “cognitive empathy,” which simply refers to the capacity to identify, internalize, and understand the emotions of others. As the basis of human morality and an undergirding principle of human action, empathy describes a wide range of actions, experiences and emotions that illicit certain responses as a result of an intrinsic proclivity towards alleviating and Continue reading...

Animal testing also known animal experimentation is a process whereby non-human animals are used to conduct experiments. There has been an increase of animal testing in the field of biomedical research. Due to this, animal testing has become an extreme controversial topic that has created a division among different groups, of those who are supporting the process and those who are opposing. Therefore, there are ongoing debates about whether animal testing should go on, or it should be banned. Some groups argue it is ethical while others insist that the process is unethical, and there is a last group Continue reading...

Directly connected with morality, xian, human nature is a principle that deeply influenced the Chinese philosophy for ages. Mencius, the ancient Chinese philosopher, shaped the Chinese moral and ethical system of his time and long after, being known today as one of the most influential philosophers that treated human nature in relation with morality. Mencius, holds that morality is a natural inclination of human conduct, because humans born for goodness, being guided by good intentions and implicitly moral actions. The Chinese philosopher’ teachings indicate that the human nature as inextricably connected with morality, as they are both part of Continue reading...

Introduction

Human existence has been the subject of discussion for decades with the controversies surrounding the issue of the self. Philosophers and theologians alike fundamentally disagree on the nature of humans and employ various analogies to further their viewpoints concerning their belief system. Existentialists, feminists and non-western critics have registered divergent opinions concerning the nature of humans. Avocado and artichoke present divergent facts on the characterization of the self to the extent that they offer divergent views on the critical concerns raised by different quarters. This paper provides a reflection on the understanding of different historical and philosophical approaches to Continue reading...

In All Animals Are Equal Peter Singer argues that discrimination’s basis depends on sex. The author argues that each species is being judged because of the differences between other species` practices and attitudes. He mentions that non-humans should be respected equally as humans. In addition, Singer points out that success in life should be equal between humans and animals. He supports this conclusion by saying that we are against discrimination bases in the color, sex or non-human. We will still see a shock ground while there is no equality with blacks, women, poor people and animals. He has Continue reading...

Satire has been part and parcel of human development since ancient times. It has always been cherished for its humorous and witty nature and despised for its offensive, harsh and touchy messages. It is such a thing that is generally conceived to talk for morals, but its own morality is often put under a question mark. Does satire has a place in a society and does it carry any importance? Such questions often attempt to dilute that crucial role that satire plays in any society and group.
However, despite all the hatred, satire has made its way with the Continue reading...

Introduction

Imagine someone take you by force without your consent and subject you to severe torture in the name of experiment and leave you to die or to recover naturally without proper medication. Let me divert your thinking, imagine you are sick and in a lot of pain. Your closest companion neglects you and says you deserve it since you don’t have emotions or tears. Think of the two scenarios above would that be fair or morally right? Your answer is probably no. Then why are we comfortable when we subject animals to severe pain or neglect them in Continue reading...

How Tom Regan proves the moral rights of animals should be regarded. Human and other animal’s right is an issue that has been debated for very many centuries. Over the years of the recorded mankind history, there has been abuse of the rights both for the humans and animals including ruthless killings and oppression. The human rights have taken root and prevent further disregarding of the human lives in the sense that the humans have a right to life and privacy. Therefore, the human rights have been given a heavy regard ever since the establishment of the human Continue reading...

Philosophical Existentialism

Existentialism is a philosophy that stresses the concept of freedom, solitude, and choice. It considers the fact that human beings exist in an irrational world, and they, therefore, have to make rational decisions so as to define them and give life a meaning. Existentialism argues that there is no primary purpose for the existence of humans and that there is no logical explanation for this effect. Therefore, humans only need to embrace their existence to help them define their lives and counter the emptiness in life. This philosophy believes that humans are free beings and must, therefore, be responsible Continue reading...

The scientific advancement in the recent past has grown in leaps and bounds. The field of genetic engineering has not been left behind with some scientists attempting to use genetic knowledge to improve the human species in various ways. The big questions arising is whether there are enough justifiable reasons to so. The whole process is marred with various arguments and counter augments with the centre stage being the morality of genetically modified humans, and the potential risks. Genetic modification of humans has more potential risks than benefits.
First, it is worth noting that genetic modification of humans being Continue reading...

Meccan Surahs being revealed in two parts have their own thematic justice to them in the Quran. They mostly consist of the themes of generosity, of the spirits and man, of prayer, patience and the deeds which all true believers much carry out in order to maintain their faith (Sells).
Some of the Meccan surahs in the Quran mostly center on the values that a believer in Islam needs to uphold in order to be affirmed as a true believer. One of the most important themes discussed in some of Continue reading...

The study of human behavior is one of the most fascinating of all the sciences. What makes people think, feel and act the way they do? Why do some people traverse life with ease while others struggle with patterns of behavior that sabotage their happiness? What makes one person violent and antisocial and another agreeable and a team player? Why do some people with all the worldly possessions imaginable including a supportive and loving family fall into the depths of depression while others lacking even the most necessary of human needs seem to maintain a zest for life? And Continue reading...

Mixed Media on Canvas

Renowned for his visceral aesthetics, black humor, and provocation, Llyn Foulkes has remained at the periphery of the art establishment because he overtly rebels against commercialism by deploying novel painting techniques and creating diverse corpus of artwork. He opines about the dehumanization of the individual vis-à-vis a bureaucratic process in The Suspension, whereby humans merely become case numbers due to the advent of new and innovative technologies. A headless female figure is placed at the center of the canvas, layered on top of a cross and a realistic looking back of a human body that has several rashes Continue reading...

This paper delineated on the differences of Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. It traced important points in history and previous rotting systems of the Roman Catholic and how it contributed to the rebellion of some of its members and creation of Protestantism by Luther. Finally, the paper presented an overview of the Council of Trent and the reforms and affirmations of the Roman Catholic teachings as salient in their counterattack to Protestantism.

Introduction:

Climate change has been a worldwide issue ever since the existence of modern technology started. People have been very concerned of what is happening to the planet. Global warming and greenhouse gases are the result of the industrial revolution in the early 20th century. Dangerous gases are emitted to the atmosphere and have evidently destroyed the ozone layer. This has cause various weather changes including rapid formation of tropical disturbance in the pacific.
Is it still healthy for us? Is it still habitable for humans for the next century? These are the following questions that are very imminent to Continue reading...

Religion is necessary for humans and human civilization. Mankind has had religion ever since the existence of independent thought. Regardless of faith or beliefs, it can be argued that man has worshiped some sort of deity, be it the sun or highly intelligent beings. Religion does play an important part in our lives, because it enables us to look a little deeper beyond what is manifested in the physical realm. It opens the world up and tries to satisfy mankind’s thirst for not only knowledge, but the absolute truth.
It is necessary for humans to think about the Continue reading...

Introduction

David Hull has established new standards for close connection between science and the philosophers of science. He has demonstrated that philosophical study of science can be initiated into the actual development of science as contestable and important commentary. In Hull’s search for comprehending the scientific procesapiess, he has embarked on an intensely naturalistic course. He has also avoided a prescriptive epistemology and a descriptive approach that lacks any general insight into the world of scientific knowledge. In both these accounts, Hull’s work has the view of, if not a science of science; it should be a natural Continue reading...

In the seminal collection of works known as the Analects, renowned Chinese scholar Confucius declared: “Men’s natures are like; it is their habits that carry them far apart” (Myers, 2008). Determining and assessing the extent that human characteristic traits and behaviors are governed by the environment and/or genetics is critical from a theoretical standpoint and view within the field of psychology. Humans indeed share an adaptive capacity that has emerged as a hallmark trait of fundamental human behaviors (Myers, 2008, p. 71). As such, basic, normative, and physical human traits such as having symmetrical two ears and two Continue reading...

Descartes’ Meditations is an exceptional work not because it lays downs the groundwork for any particular truth or even because it contains any immutable truth. Its worth lies in the fact that it was the first time a single person had formulated a single system of philosophy from which to derive all other thoughts from – he laid the groundwork for people to think and investigate on their own. In other words, he laid the foundations for the Enlightenment and the liberation of Europe from the myths and superstitions of the Middle Ages. One of the most fascinating sections in Continue reading...

According to the belief of Hsun Tzu, the nature of human being is evil and that goodness if the result of conscious activity. His stand is the opposite of Mencius’ view point wherein the other philosopher argues that the nature of human is good. Both have good points and arguments pertaining to their stand on the nature of humans. In one of the expert of Mencius’ works, he had a conversation with his peers and mentioned how he gives honor to those who are superior to him and how he make it a point to do good. On the Continue reading...

Religion has always remained central to America's sense of mission both abroad and at home and to the national narrative. This observation can be transposed onto various geographical contexts despite the salient belief that religion and modernity are antithetical entities and belief systems (). The intersectionality of religion, law, and justice is nuanced and complex, especially within the context of modernity an in an increasingly globalized world. Indeed, the relationship between religion and law have profound implications for political, social, and legal issues that pertain to constitutional rights to the freedom of belief and religion as well as the nexus Continue reading...

Introduction

The type of relationship that human beings have with animals has been the subject of many debates. More importantly, there have been intense discussions on how we as people treat animals, in general. Some members of society feel that that it is unacceptable to abuse animals in a manner that does not cater to the interest of their species. Even though it is tolerable to use animals under certain circumstances, such as for domestic and industrial purposes, people should strive to be humane in the process. The interests of human beings and animals should not conflict with each other Continue reading...

Historically myths have served the purpose of answering basic yet unanswerable human questions as to how or why this world, this universe or humans themselves exist. Myths have helped assuage the anxiety that ignorance causes and allowed humans to weave symbolic tales that helped explain real phenomenon (Kluckhohn 49). Over time myths evolved into religions and then were greatly challenged by the advent of science and technology. In today’s age myths exist in various forms. Despite the domination of science and rationality myths survive because they provide a rich literary resource as in the Greek mythology, or the Continue reading...

The world is a greenhouse. The role of the atmosphere is to insulate and warm the surface of the earth. The greenhouse effect is not a new phenomenon. Humans can help reduce the increasing greenhouse effect. The atmosphere insulates and warms the surface of the earth. Incoming solar radiation passes through the atmosphere. The surface of the earth absorbs some of the radiation. The unabsorbed radiation is emitted back out in the form of infrared radiation. Gases, such as, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor absorb the reflected infrared radiation. These gases re-emit infrared radiation, some of Continue reading...

Science fiction is concurrently an escape from reality while also remaining a “way of looking to see what’s behind” (Barlow 110). As such, it blends reality with the human imagination in order to articulate a narrative that conveys the very essence of modernity. Aaron Barlow, an English professor and New York College of Technology, underscores this binary between reality and human imagination as an intrinsic feature of science fiction as a literary genre, thereby rendering realism the antithesis to the imagination (105). Moreover, Barlow contends that Ray Bradbury, a seminal American author in science fiction, mystery and horror Continue reading...

In response to Nagel, Westphal and Cherry critique Nagel's proposition which is based on an assumption of meaningless of life. In contrast to Nagel, Westphal and Cherry propose people appreciate plans and projects which are taken seriously in life and are "bound to commitment or "pretensions" about what is done in life" (Westphal and Cherry, 199). According to Westphal and Cherry, creative lives in arts and science represent most fulfilling examples of one's self. Put differently, a creative life led by an artist or a scientist is one which has an internal view of life as opposed to Nagel's Continue reading...

Chapter 7: Learning

How Do We Learn?
What is learning, and what are some basic forms of learning?
Learning: the process of acquiring new and relatively enduring information or behaviors.
Humans learn by association, our minds naturally connect events that happen in order.
Associative learning: learning that certain events occur together; the events may be two stimuli (classical conditioning) or a response and its consequence (operant conditioning).

Stimulus: any event or situation that evokes a response.

Cognitive learning: the acquisition of mental information, whether by observing events, by watching others, or through language.
Classical Conditioning
What are the basic components of classical conditioning, and what was behaviorism’s view of learning?

David P. Barash (Nov. 22, 2009), in the article “Monogamy isn’t easy” describes the evolutionary aspect of monogamy in both animals and human beings. Barash notes that whereas monogamy is something that is the society debates, it is easy for one to assume it as a social issue other than a biological one. He noted that some animal researchers believed monogamy is uncommon among the animals. However, with the advent of DNA tests, monogamy is very rare since animals would more than often have offspring fathered by a different partner other than the social partner. I presume that Continue reading...

Marc Foster directed the movie World War Z, a horror film, in 2013 (Movies.com); it is an adaptation of Max Brook’s novel “World War Z: An oral history of the zombie war” (Brooks). The title is an allusion to two other 20th century global struggles, World War I and World War II. The name pulls the viewer into the mindset that the battle is being fought worldwide, but this time it is with, well, zombies. The idea of zombies is ages old and started with the concept of necromancy (Strohecker). Even the bible has references to cannibalism: "And Continue reading...

Science provides some cues as to how humans ought to behave. According to the evolution theory suggested by Darwin, natural selection affects all the creatures on earth (Futuyma, 2009). In this case, humans, just as all other living things seek to compete for space, wealth, and any other means of survival. Even though the modern man has changed the environment greatly, the inherent competition depicted in the evolution of mankind has not stopped. The rich seek to be richer while the poor seeks to liberate themselves from poverty. However, it’s worth noting that in as much as the Continue reading...

Caring for our environment should be a collective responsibility upon which everybody should undertake selflessly. The environment and our surroundings form the essential element of our survival. Every living thing fundamentally depends on the environment for survival and ensuring that our environment provides a haven for this survival should be a continuous undertaking. Our world is more industrialized now than ever before, which means that there are more emissions into the air from the industries that have sprung up in the twenty-first century. People have been so engrossed in other things that they have entirely forgotten about the environment. Continue reading...

Abstract
The carbon cycle is a simple, but life sustaining process that organisms on Earth rely on to survive. The Earth’s atmosphere is comprised of carbon dioxide and methane. Plants cleanse the atmosphere of carbon dioxide, which would otherwise suffocate life. The carbon dioxide is used to create oxygen. As part of the cycle, carbon dioxide is then transferred into organic carbon, or absorbed into large bodies of water, contributing to water acidity and geo-erosion. From there, the carbon waits in the Earth’s mantle to be released naturally into the atmosphere through metamorphosis, or to be released Continue reading...

Ebola virus disease (EVD), or commonly known as Ebola, is the most popular fatal illness in the modern times. It is a severe disease caused by a virus which could infect most primates including humans (World Health Organization, 2014). The symptoms or signs of the severe illness could appear from 2 days up to 3 weeks after the virus infection. Patients could suffer from fever, muscle pains, headaches, rash, and vomiting (Gatherer, 2014). Other patients infected with the virus also suffer from internal and external bleeding and their digestive system is damage. The average death rate of the EVD Continue reading...

Human beings, their evolution and their place in the planet have been the topic of much discussion and speculation over the ages. Men seek to find answers through religion, science and folklore. Most religion say that God created men in his form, folklore tell tale of how man was created millions of year ago but science tell us otherwise. The presence of fossils of our ancestors and scientific data collected over the years prove that the Homo sapiens found today was not created at one go but was a result of year of evolutionary process. The Evolutionary process also Continue reading...

“Why Evolution should be taught in public schools” is an article by Laura H. Khan that explores the issue of evolution. Just like the title suggests, Kahn presents a passionate argument of why the theory of evolution advanced by Charles Darwin should be adopted in the public school curriculum. Khan argues that understanding of evolution is crucial when it comes to confronting some of the 21st century microbiological challenges. He argues that the next generation of scientists need to be educated on the issue of evolution and hence be provided with the tools needed to create and develop treatment Continue reading...

Environmental ethics defines the fundamental principles that should govern the relationship between man and the natural environment. Sandler describes environmental ethics as the attempt to understand the human relationship with the environment’ (Sandler, 2010, p.252).The realization, that technology, industrialization, economic growth and population boom affected the environment, prompted the emergence of this field. The effects included pollution, extinction and speciation of plant and animals, degradation and climate change (Milman 2015).

Humans are social animals who live in a public domain. The life of humans is governed by the societal institutions that have been in existence for the past times. The nature and personality of a person is greatly influenced by the societal conditioning that a person is exposed to right from a very tender age. Humans are conditioned to act in a specific way and believe specific things that are set as normative by the institutions.
The compliance with the parameters of propriety in congruence with the societal institutions and practices is something that is expected from one and Continue reading...

“Ethics is a philosophical branch which is based on seeking to address questions related to morality. Ethics is not about people following what they see others do but it is about about making sound decisions on their own. Ethical studies are aimed at ensuring that students are able to act on their own without being influenced by factors such as the environment or their peers. Ethical studies also helps individuals to be able to make arguments and reason with facts about what they face in the daily lives.
According to the catholic church, human life is considered sacred and Continue reading...

Anthropologists describe the meaning of the term race in two distinct ways. First, physical anthropologists view the biological features of human populations in various areas of the world. Virtually, they compare populations with the aim of understanding the modeling of human biological variations. In the 19th century, anthropologists studied the external characteristics of people. These features included the proportion of their limbs, their skin color, features of their bodies and faces, or the color and configuration of their hair. In the 20th century, the focus shifted to a subtle variation of antibody types and blood groups. As such, physical Continue reading...

Human vs. Divine

Myths and divinity have always worked as enigma in the psyche of the people of the world. The enigma and the aura encompassing mythology have transcended the distinctions of culture, community and age. Myths are cultural and social markers of a community or religion. The world has always found the Greek and Roman mythology intriguing to the utmost degree. The content of the mythology of these civilizations have attained to limelight in research work for a long time owing to the intricacies, banalities, and superhuman transcendence. A close introspection into the nature of the mythological characters of Roman and Continue reading...

Generally speaking, Anthropology is the study of humans, along with primates, and Physical Anthropology deals with the study of evolution, and multiplicity of people and primates. Physical anthropologists stress sketchily on three major cliques of problems: human and non-human primate evolution, human diversity and its connotations (also race), and the biological foundations of human and non-human behaviour. Unlike humans, Zoos embrace better places to study such nuances about the behaviour of primates (non-humans). Actually, gibbons have always been interesting for me to observe and study. It gives an immense pleasure to observe keen communication relationships among a group of Continue reading...

Q.1
Anthropologists find their studies interesting and most illuminating as well because they have to meet with new people in order to gather information, data and knowledge. They employ their learning in order to develop academic landscapes and concepts those define the world from multiple angles (Pagel, 33). The culture is the software of human mind, and therefore, it guides the decisional processes of the people living in the particular geographical area. However, the experiences of Richard Lee were enlightening because he studied the most neglected worldview of the world regarding Christmas festivities. The African people are of the Continue reading...

Introduction

Scientific breakthroughs in human genetics are gaining public attention as they appear to cross ethical borders. In his article, ‘Ethics of embryo editing divides scientists,’ Cyranoski reveals how even the scientific community are divided when it comes to pursuing human DNA altercations. Apparently, Cyranoski’s observation is just part of an ongoing ethical dilemma surrounding genetic research that has been undertaken starting from the work of Gregor Mendel in the 1900’s. Today, scientists claim that they are now able to edit the genetic make-up of any living organisms and that includes human beings in particular. DNA editing has Continue reading...
