Addiction is a disease‚ not merely a social disorder. The disease not only affects the inflicted individuals‚ but can also be detrimental to family members and the greater community. Causes of addiction can be grouped into three categories: psychological traits

Chebyshev’s Theorem and The Empirical Rule Suppose we ask 1000 people what their age is. If this is a representative sample then there will be very few people of 1-2 years old just as there will not be many 95 year olds. Most will have an age somewhere in their 30’s or 40’s. A list of the number of people of a certain age may look like this: |Age |Number of people | |0 |1 | |1 |2 | |2 |3

The amount of a certain type of substance‚ in mole that can be calculated accurately from their mass are called primary standards due its purity. Primary standards should be always readily obtainable in pure form. It also should also have a known formula and be simple to put away without deteriorating or reacting with the atmosphere. It is also preferable that the substance have a high molar mass in order to decrease the effect of errors in weighing. A primary standard can be used to prepare a standard

Empirical Rationalism claims that it can be clearly observed that a person’s moral judgements come directly from his or her rational capacity. In other words‚ it claims that based on observation‚ it is evident that our moral judgements come from reason. This opposes to sentimentalists’ theories which claim that our moral judgments come from our emotions. Shaun Nichols affirms that research done on psychopaths proves empirical rationalism wrong. For example‚ he states that psychopaths’ ability to
