The destruction associated with the invention was so lamented by its now famous inventor, Alfred Nobel that he established the Nobel Peace Foundation as a response to his guilt, where individuals and projects are given great honors when they develop science, literature, art and diplomacy that furthers the cause of peace and greater human understanding. (Bellis) Another example, would be the development of the nuclear chain reaction by the Hungarian American Loe Szilard
Animal Research in Laboratories What are the applicable ethical considerations when scientists use animals in research? Can researchers justify causing pain to animals while doing research on medicines that could potentially be beneficial to humans? These issues will be discussed in this paper, along with the news that there may soon be alternatives to using animals in research. Pro and Con -- on Animal Research In the Mark Kula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University in California the statistics presented show that "about 20 million animals are experimented on and killed annual" -- and of those three-quarters are killed for medical purposes and the remaining for the testing of "various products" (Andre, et al
In conclusion, this controversial debate is justified, given that humans need to address the way in which they interact with the natural world and the animals that live in the natural world. Meanwhile, an article in the Baltimore Sun explains that testing on animals "…could be phased out over the next couple decades," since new systems are being developed (Cohn, 2010)
Pycroft points to the research by John C. Eccles, who used cats' spinal cords in his investigations, and it led to "the nature of synapse"; Eccles was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology in 1963 for his discoveries (using cats in labs) (Prycroft, 1)
The basis for the analysis will rely on prior literature on parenting styles, co-parenting conflicts, and also child pre-disposition to violence. A literature review is the initial research design, with the goal of explaining the nature of the problem and the variables involved (Blakstad, n
The drawbacks to case study are clear and include a lack of external validity and also the potential for researcher bias. Yet social scientists must rely on case studies, which can have a "strong impact" on policy and other results-oriented research (Shuttleworth, n
, 2011; Lammers & Badia, 2005). A case study design is useful when the research is intended to answer how and why questions, yet the behavior of the sample being studied cannot be manipulated by the researcher (Baxter & Jack, 2008)
• Multiple case study design. Potential Research Method The correlational ex-post facto research design is useful when it is impossible, impractical, expensive, or unethical to conduct an experiment, particularly because it is not possible to control and manipulate the variables necessary to study cause-and-effect relationships directly (Cohen, et al
What sample size will you use? Why? This study will make use of "a purposive sample, also commonly called a judgmental sample, is one that is selected based on the knowledge of a population and the purpose of the study. The subjects are selected because of some characteristic" (Crossman 2013)
): The clearest threat to successful marketing of the Galaxy Mini S is Apple, Inc.'s iPad Mini (Apple, Inc

The 18- to 44-year-old smartphone-owning early adopters should readily encounter our marketing efforts and a significant number of those targeted consumers are expected to purchase and benefit from the Samsung Galaxy Mini S. Issues Analysis Given the complete marketing analysis, the key issues that must be understood by the company in trying to sell the Samsung Galaxy Mini S are: Organizational Resources (Perner, n
Traditionally, this was achieved through quantitative and qualitative research studies that involved interviewing consumers and gathering data. This data was then analyzed and market strategies created based on that analysis (Hauser, 2007)
Dunn ( 1971) states that, "In each person from birth is an innate urge to move towards the group, from an inferior or a superior position. To become a person, to have worth and to earn respect" (Dunn, 1971, p
Adler In-depth research regarding a personality theory and personality theorist (Alfred Adler) The Personality Theory of Alfred Adler The Personality Theory of Alfred Adler Alfred Adler (1870 -- 1937) has been described as one of the founders of modern personality theory and psychotherapy (Hoffman, 1996, p
This is a particularly important point that relates Adler's views to modern humanism. In essence, the above aspects point to the need in human beings to "find their place in the world" (Lewis and Osborn, 2004, p1)
A primary focus in the last few decades has been on the way that personality is influenced by a combination of both psychological and socials pressures and forces. Put more succinctly, Adler's theoretical trajectory can be described as an "… holistic, phenomenological, ideological, field-theoretical, and socially-oriented approach to psychology and related fields" (Watts and Critelli, 1997, p
Distinction, however, should be made betweens stereotypes and prejudice both of which can be seen as appraisal. Stereotypes are said to initiate from cognitive schemas, which are derived from social conditioning and acculturation (Fiske & Taylor, 1991)
Knowing personnel well enough to provide them with an appropriate reward is essential. "An effective, structured reward program is planned in advance and operates according to established guidelines" (Gatlin, 1997)
