SHOULD ELECTROCONVULSIVE THERAPY EVER BE USED TO TREAT MENTAL DISORDERS? A. Thesis Statement Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a treatment for severe mental illness in which the brain is stimulated with a strong electrical current which induces a seizure. The seizure rearranges the brain’s neurochemistry and results in an elevation of mood. This essay asks: Is ECT any safer and more effective in treating mood disorders than drug therapies?

they learned‚” a blog post written by a professor entitled “What do our grades measure? Academic savvy or actual learning?” mentioned. This had me thinking‚ what is the purpose of our grades? Should we use it as a basis to determine if whether or not we are intelligent? Then I realized: No‚ academic grades should not be the basis for measuring intelligence since they are based upon standardized tests‚ they can be influenced‚ and they do not measure learning.

After reading many sources over the past week about the use of technology in schools my point of view on this topic is that technology is a good thing that should be used in all classrooms around the world. I think that technology is a good thing to use in classrooms because students can you the laptops or tablets that the school gave to them to check their grades digitally and turn in their assignments. The technology that the students use in school can prepare them for the future jobs that will

In a traditional‚ volume-based product-costing system‚ only a single predetermine overhead rate is used. All manufacturing-overhead costs are combined into one cost pool‚ a grouping of individual indirect cost items‚ and they are applied to products on the basis of a single variable that costs over a given time span (cost driver) that is closely related to production

Experiment 3: Solution Calorimetry: Thermodynamics of Potassium Nitrate II. Abstract A determination of thermodynamic variables of KNO3 is presented. KNO3 was heated and dissolved in varying volumes of distilled water. Upon dissolution‚ the KNO3 solution was removed from heat and the temperature was recorded once crystals formed. For each solution‚ ∆G the Ksp were found with the temperature and molarity values. ∆H and ∆S were found through the linearization of the data with

Should animals be used for cosmetic and medical testing? In our daily lives we use many products to help us go through the day. Although‚ we don’t always think about where these products come from and how they were produced. Most products sold in stores‚ effective or not‚ have been tested on animals.

There are plenty of better ways to test and most animal testing is not even effective. Wanna hear why? Animals are put through so many awful things you wouldn’t even believe. Animals are restrained and burned‚ starved‚ dehydrated‚ and purposefully hurt to test remedies and healing processes. Does that sound fair?

captivity by experimenters. In order to test medicines and medical procedures‚ animals--like mice‚ rats‚ dogs‚ and cats--are often used in order to avoid actually testing on humans. Unfortunately‚ some of these tests are not only painful for the animals‚ but they also do not result in medicines or procedures that can actually be used on humans. Animals should not be used for medical research because animals have rights as living creatures‚ the tests are a waste of time and money‚ and there are other

While others argue that this is what animals were bred to do‚ entertain. Animals should not be used and mistreated for human entertainment. Dog shows‚ circuses and SeaWorld have been mistreating and exploiting defenseless animals for as long as they have been around.
