'The ethics of animal tests: inside the lab where marmosets are given Parkinson’s’ by Robin McKie examines the situation of marmosets who are subjected to testing and experiments. McKie uses several literary techniques such as statistics, case studies and emotive language in his article to not only communicate the cruel and unjustifiable nature of animal testing, but also the necessity we humans have for it; while experimenting on animals can be considered immoral, it’s still a much better alternative

think, but whether human beings can still feel.” With “everything is simultaneously familiar and unfamiliar”, the relationship between Theodore and Samantha projects to interactions of various cultures in our globalized real world. Stevan Harnad in his Alan Turing and the “Hard” and “Easy” Problem of Cognition: Doing and Feeling also shows similar argument that “The ‘easy’ problem of cognitive science is explaining how and why we can do what we can do. The ‘hard’ problem is explaining how and why we feel

On a typical evening, you are in your car driving home after a long work day when the thought of the prescription you have been neglecting to pick up pops into your head. You make a sharp turn off the highway into the Walgreens parking lot. Passing through those automatic doors, your eyes land upon the never-ending shelves loaded with beauty products. Wandering through the aisles on your way to the pharmacy, mascara, eyeliner, face wash, and various other beauty products make their way into your

Alan Turing is a rare figure amongst the many historical worthies of post-war Britain. He would, at first, seem an unlikely candidate to become a popular, globally recognised icon. He worked within a comparatively novel and arcane scientific field, the central concepts of which are still only fully understood by specialists. It was one which emerged from mostly from his own high-level theoretical reasoning and debating the earlier work of (the similarly obscure) Kurt Gödel upon whether mathematical

Time cover has a symbolic design. The word Time rests on top of the page centered like normal, while tiny words “Al-Qaeda: The Next Generation” sit beneath it. Below those words, a stack of matches stand upright with the face of the leader of Al-Qaeda Osama Bin Laden plastered on all the match heads. A bright red border surrounds the cover art. To appeal to their audience, Time uses certain methods. Time places matches on the cover, to appeal to an international audience through symbolism. Matches

Maurice Brown English 11 B Thematic Performance Task Does technology make us more or less free? How can technology be used to give more freedom to more people and how can it be used to limit freedom? Artificial intelligence can be good a really good thing because it helps make everyday life easier, but it can also be a really bad thing because it can eventually replace humans. Artificial intelligence is the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human

What is Enigma? It is a mysterious thing that is hard to understand, even if possible. During World War II, Alan Turing took on the mission to break the code that so many people in Britain thought was impossible. Even though Alan Turing’s childhood was full of misery, he was able to break a seemingly unbreakable code, and became a war hero by saving countless of lives during World War II. Alan Turing had a hard life in his childhood. His parents did not take care of him because they were always on

V cannot be defined by the violence. It is not him doing the crimes, but the vigilante is the product of the violence he experienced. At the beginning of the movie no one knew the reason V was committing all the crimes and wanted to get back at the government. Everyone just saw him as an unknown murder that is there to destroy their community. Throughout the movie were flashbacks of V in Larkhill. Larkhill was based off of Hitler’s concentration camps and the Nazi atrocities. V says that he lost
