False positive paradox

Peter Singer starts his ethical debate by essentially trapping readers into an ethical paradox. Singer argues that, “how could anyone consider a pair of shoes, or missing an hour or two at work, a good reason for not saving a child's life,” to guilt readers, even if for an admirable cause, into becoming sympathetic for Singer’s utilitarian mission (“The Life You Can Save,” Singer). Singer makes the logical assumption that all human lives hold equal value, even when not drowning right in front of

the media and humanitarianism and politics. The conclusion is a general overview of the debate and implications David Rieff talks about the idea of the “international community which gives both the humanitarian worker and the victims of crisis “false hope” that something will be done (Rieff, 2003). He says that “the moment one taps on to the idea of the international community, it (humanitarianism) falls part like a toy” (Rieff 2003, p.9). The concept of international community, however vague

Magical thinking is the phenomena in which an unrelated, or sometimes irrational, reciprocity is inferred between events, actions and thought, when scientific consensus confirms there is none. Active magical thinking involves the belief that one has even one iota of control influencing causality. For example, empathising over a situation and offering to keep ones ‘fingers crossed’ for a good outcome. On the other hand passive magical thinking pertains to the situation being out of one’s control

• Summary o The authors of this paper indicate an apparently novel method for improving the cellular uptake of DNA origami-based drug delivery nanocarriers. While the transport protein, transferrin (Tf), has been used to functionalize other types of drug delivery nanocarriers, it had yet to be incorporated into nanocarriers made via DNA origami prior to this publication. The authors demonstrate successful functionalization of Tf to a specific morphology of DNA origami using gel-shift analysis and

Voltaire, the pen name of François-Marie Arouet, was very creative in his way of outing the pure ridiculousness of the ideas and morals of 18th century Europeans. In the mid 1700’s, Voltaire penned the adventures of Candide’s quest to find his love, and how his innocence is corrupted along the way.

pointed up, on her spread legs, confidently, for her Lord to pay her back” (64). These positive insights are opposing themselves to the hard reality behind them. To Jack, those are not what is important. In fact, the narrator mostly focuses on balancing pain with reward, on the fight against pain itself and on the construction of Buddhist theories and how they may apply to Tristessa’s way of living. Jack offers a paradox between transcendence and morphine
