Should anonymized data be used freely? This answer‚ for me‚ is two-fold. When it comes to the topic of public health surveillance‚ anonymized data should be used without informed consent. The data tracking methods for public health surveillance help determine pockets of disease and deploy treatment strategies prior to an epidemic. The rationale for this standpoint is that the greater good of the population. In the example of the recent Ebola epidemic‚ the epicenter of the disease was identified

The scientific method is used more than we thought and I am going to thoroughly explain it in this paper. The Scientific method is usually defined as observing‚ putting it into an experiment‚ testing the procedure and then seeing your results‚ and your opinions before the lab was tested. (1) Also‚ another definition to the scientific method could be making future results and trying your best to have them as close the results as possible.(1) The scientific method is the difference from just being

Throughout the experiments the size of the balloons stayed about the same size except for in experiment 3. Also the bottles that had more sugar had a stronger scent of alcohol and also contained more foam on top of the liquid. All yeast in each of the bottles seemed to have fermented at the same time and stopped/slowed down‚ the growing process‚ at the same time. Bottle 3 also would always overflow and the foam would fill the ballon in every experiment. Another trend with bottle 3 was that in the

Introduction to the Scientific Method The scientific method is the process by which scientists‚ collectively and over time‚ endeavor to construct an accurate (that is‚ reliable‚ consistent and non-arbitrary) representation of the world. Recognizing that personal and cultural beliefs influence both our perceptions and our interpretations of natural phenomena‚ we aim through the use of standard procedures and criteria to minimize those influences when developing a theory. As a famous scientist once

Scientific Method Steps The exact number of steps to the scientific method depends on how you break up the steps‚ but here is an overview of the basics: 1. Make observations. 2. Propose a hypothesis. 3. Design and perform an experiment to test the hypothesis. 4. Analyze your data to determine whether to accept or reject the hypothesis. 5. If necessary‚ propose and test a new hypothesis. If you are having trouble designing an experiment or even getting an idea for a project‚ start with the

The Electoral College system is arguably biased to small states and ignorant to the overall popular vote of the American citizens. The Electoral College system that is used in America in order to elect presidents is unjust because it ignores larger states that should have more electoral votes and gives states with small populations more electoral votes. This is because the popular vote is not distributed according to population in specific states. However‚ this also gives smaller states a chance

Stanley Milgram: ’electric shock’ experiments (1963) - also showed the power of the situation in influencing behaviour. 65% of people could be easily induced into giving a stranger an electric shock of 450V (enough to kill someone). 100% of people could be influenced into giving a 275V shock. The Milgram Experiment Stanley Milgram (1963) Experiment: Focusing on the conflict between obedience to authority and personal conscience. Investigate: Whether Germans were particularly obedient to authority
