Some animals have lost most of their habitat and are on the verge of extinction. In this way‚ the zoo helps the animals rather than using them as a form of human entertainment. Zoos also allow humans to study different kinds of animals more closely. Some zoos on the other hand manipulate the animals to acquire as much revenue as possible rather than

“Endangered languages should be saved” Many languages are at the danger of disappearance. The reason of their extinction could be the decrease in a number of people speaking that language. A 85% of 6000 languages appear to be spoken in 25 countries (NOW 2000). Language extinction is caused by external and internal factors. Internal forces such as community’s negative behaviour to mother language‚ or simply decrease in the number of speakers are mainly derived from factors such as military‚ economic

Behaviorism has been a major school of thought in psychology since 1913‚ when John B. Watson published an influential article. Watson argued that psychology should abandon its earlier focus on mind and mental processes and focus exclusively on overt behavior. He contended that psychology could not study mental processes in a scientific manner because they are private and not accessible to outside observation. In completely rejecting mental processes as a suitable subject for scientific study‚ Watson

With over seven billion people living around the world today the forest that inhabits millions of different species of animals is being torn down for human settlement each day. Earth’s rainforests are home to over 50 percent of the world’s species and nearly 80‚000 acres of rainforest are destroyed each day (Scientific American). Although there are thousands of animals species that are endangered‚ the tiger is one of the most important species that comes to mind. The tiger is the largest member

Age of the Universe The age of the universe is said to be about 13.75 billion years old. The method used in determining this age would be attempting to find the age of chemical elements‚ oldest star clusters‚ as well as white dwarf stars. Scientists also try to find the universes rate of expansion‚ and behavior of globular clusters‚ which are spherical collection of stars. In order to find this‚ scientists can use radioactive decay to determine how old a given mixture of atoms is in rock samples
