Is democracy a necessary condition for development? In the modern and globalized world‚ it is common to find democratic institutions in the most economically developed countries. Democratic regimes look different all across the world‚ and the term itself is multi-faceted. For the sake of discussion‚ in its simplest terms‚ I will refer to democracy as a system of governance where the population that is governed elects their leaders. A substantive democracy would include more such the promotion

Introduction The word ‘ethics’ comes from the Greek word ‘ethos’‚ meaning custom or behaviour. The concept of ethics was originally proposed by the Greek philosopher Aristotle for the discussion of philosophical questions relating to daily life: the ‘ethike theoria’ deals with the study of‚ and gives criteria for the evaluation of human behaviour. Since then‚ ethics has become one of the major topics in Western philosophy when debating social and individual values‚ their relationship and their hierarchy

Ethics of Genetic Engineering If you could know that you had a high risk for developing cancer‚ would you? In the last four and a half decades‚ the science of genetic engineering has opened new possibilities and new questions. While the field originated as a study of bacteria‚ it has advanced an incredible amount since 1973 and developed a multitude of branches. Genetic engineering is essentially the concept of cloning or manipulating an organism’s genetic sequence for a specific purpose. This

regarding about biotechnology. The first topic is about the history of biotechnology. Biotechnology began 7000 BC. It is the application of scientific engineering principles to the processing of materials by biological agents to provide goods and services. It is also a technique that uses living organisms (or parts of organisms) to make or modify products‚ to improve plants or animals‚ or to develop microorganisms for specific uses. Karl Ereky is the one who coined biotechnology in ancient time.

Dark biotechnology is connected with bioterrorism and biological weapons. Biowarfare is the intentional use of microorganisms and toxins generally of microbial‚ plant or animal origin to produce disease and death in humans‚ livestock and crops (DaSilva‚ ****). The magnetism of bioweapons in biowarfare and bioterrorism is because of easy access to a disease-producing biological agents‚ low costs‚ low security and surveillance systems and easy transportation from one place to another.
