The primary objective is to determine the effects of litter size on growth in mice. There are numerous factors that affect both litter size and growth rate of mice. The goal is to evaluate these elements and how they affect the growth rate and weights during different stages after birth. I hypothesize that the growth rate as well as the weights for small litter pups and males will be larger than the big litter pups and females following the stages post-parturition. I believe this will occur due to

Against One of the arguments against legalization of drugs is what we have all grown up hearing which is “drugs are bad”. This reason has been said throughout most of our life and is what we learn in schools. However‚ legal drugs like alcohol and tobacco have caused more harm than illegal drugs. Another argument against legalization is that it would send mix signals to children. Drugs are bad and “just say no” have been sayings we have all learned growing up. However‚ if drugs were suddenly legal

Universal healthcare is a heavily debated topic‚ and there are strong arguments both for it and against it. "I’m An American Doctor‚ And I’m Against Universal Health Care" by Dr. Kalpana DePasquale is an editorial that provides many arguments against the idea the U.S. should have healthcare similar to Canada.

I find that censorship‚ or the anti-pornography argument is stronger‚ however‚ I will justly lay down each side of the argument appropriately. Pornography can be defined as “sexually explicit words or images intended to provoke sexual arousal” and will be used in this context for both sides of the argument. The anti-pornography argument says that pornography is immoral because it is offensive

Throughout this paper‚ I will argue the claims people make against animal testing. The most popular claim against animal testing is none other than the fact that it kills animals. Peta‚ who’s main concentration is to protect animals says that a variety of animals are killed each year for the benefit of humans. There is no hiding the fact
