A compassionate, decent well operated business that manufactured high-quality goods that saved millions of lives and increased the condition of life for millions of others. PharmaCare designed a top-selling diabetic medication that could have reduced the progression of Alzheimer’s disease; their pharmacist began reformulating the drug to increase the effect. CompCARE came into being in order to steer clear of FDA investigation; PharmaCARE created a wholly owned establishment, CompCARE, to function as a compounding pharmacy to sell the new creation to people on a prescription basis. CompCARE set up business in an upscale administrative center near its main corporate office, and to conserve money and time, did a quick, low cost makeover and appointed a man by the name of Allen Jones to run the operations’ clean room. * Research three to five ethical issues relating to marketing and advertising, intellectual property, and regulations...

...The 2009 movie "The Invention of Lying" depicted a world completely devoid of falsehoods. Everyone tells the completeand honest truth all the time, and everything a person says is taken at face value. The premise is humorous because it's so contrary to the world we live in. Can you imagine telling someone you were breaking up with him because of his looks? Or admitting to your boss that you'd read his private e-mails? What about confessing to the days that you're so depressed you stay in bed crying? We don't do that in polite society. If we break up with someone, we tend to think of courteous ways to put it, and if someone asks how we're doing, we respond that we're fine, when in actuality, we'd like to go home and spend quality time with our favorite liquor. In other words, we lie. But why? Why are we so deceitful when we claim with that we value honesty in our interpersonal relationships? To some extent, we can be proud of our lies. Lying is considered a sign of intelligence and cognitive skill, because it takes some aptitude to recognize the way things are and then create and present an alternative to that reality. And it's a skill that we exercise quite a bit; in a study published in the Journal of Basic andApplied Psychology, researchers found that 60 percent of the subjects lied at least once during a videotaped 10-minute conversation [source: Lloyd]. Researchers reported that all the subjects believed they'd been completely truthful during the conversation, so when they...

...Anethem In Anthem they have many small advances in technology, though they did come after a world with many technological advances. There are many reasons that the society in Anthem would do this, first is because anything done alone is considered evil or unjust, of all the ages the one right before theirs was the most sinful and evil, anything that was not created by the work of one man was not better that the work of 2-100, since there wasn’t anyone to cast a vote if the new invention was good nobody was there to tell the downfalls. When starting the book it says that Equality is in a cave with a candle, We see that this book is in the short future of the world, if the world in the future is so un-advanced. In Anthem the society is based around the worship of “WE” this leads the people of the world to toss out all the traditions of the time before, the reason that they throw out all the traditions from before the great new era is because all the inventions of the time before them were sinful and evil. If the inventor in their time era wanted to make something they most likely had to go through a list of things to get it done, it even says that it took the candle many years to be found of use and not scary/evil. When we look into how the technology is primitive and adapts...

...tanning bed and modified the harmful UV rays to become slightly safer, so the results of the vitamin D and golden skin were evenly spread throughout the body. Thus, the invention of the tanning bed was eventually brought to the U.S. in 1978 where to this day it is still widely used (History of Indoor Tanning). But are the results of the tanning bed really a healthy tan? Or is there another side-effect that results from it? As mentioned before, the benefits of the tanning bed are none other than to receive an instant artificial tan. This is much more time conserving than applying sun block to your body and lying under the sun, in hope to have the sun shine down its radiance upon you. Furthermore, your melanin and skin barrier can be increased with this solution, and you may even become more confident with your new skin complexion. However, as we step aside from the beneficial beauty tips, we start to realize there are more negatives surrounding this invention. The first and the foremost problem with the tanning bed is the increased risk of cancer. It has been proven “that people who tan in tanning beds are 75% more likely to develop skin cancer over someone who has never tanned indoors” (Pros and Cons of Tanning Beds). This is a large and disturbing number to take into consideration when you think about the invention of tanning beds. This mainly results from the reason that UV rays, even if made safer, are still detrimental to your skin and results in the damage of your skin cells...

...By 1951 Blount was living in Newark, New Jersey and teaching Physical Therapy at the Bronx Hospital in New York. She taught people to do the work that their feet and hands once did. Eating was a great challenge for many of the people that she was working with. To assist disabled people in gaining greater independence she invented a device that delivered food through a tube, one bite at a time, to a mouthpiece that could be used whether the patient was sitting up or lying down. When the person wanted more food they would just bit down on the tube and it signaled a machine to send the next bit. This electric self-feeding devise eventually was donated to France. In 1951, she patented a simple device called a “portable receptacle support” which also allowed people to feed themselves. It used a brace around the neck to support a bowl, cup or dish. In the 1953 Blount appeared on the Philadelphia television show “The Big Idea” being the first Black and the first woman to be appear on such show. While her inventions had the potential to revolutionize the lives of many people, getting them patented and marketed for use by patients was not easy in the United States. Frustrated by the lack of interest by the American Veteran’s...

...employed eight hundred people by 1789. A majority of the mill’s workforce were unskilled although there were a couple of engineers. Each laborer had duties to perform over a specified period of time. Unlike the domestic system where people could virtually work their own hours and hence was flexible, the factory system boasted of in-house and clock rules that governed it. In light with the rapid development of machines that simplified work and maximized production, the textile industry became the first in adopting factories. New machines began to shape Great Britain’s economy from 1765. Some of the notable inventions that marred the industrial revolution era include James Hargreaves’ spinning jenny (1765), Richard Arkwright ‘s water frame (1769) and Samuel Crompton’s spinning mule . This machinery used large wheels and therefore could not be powered from home. Edmund Cartwright’s invention of the power loom also highlighted industrial Great Britain....

...today; we will not have vehicles such as car, train, aircraft, and we will not have so many high buildings to live. In this class, we learnt a lot of historical events before 1500 AD. In ancient time, there is no advanced technology in the world; our ancestors can merely use their hands to change the nature. Gradually, they find some regularity in the world, such as round objects can move much easier than other shape; then they use their intelligence create lots of new technologies, and innovate the technologies as needed. In this paper, I will talk about five great inventions which affect the world significantly; they are wheel, water wheel, compass, paper, and plow. The invention of the wheel is one of the most important inventions in the ancient time. Without the wheel, the world would not develop so fast. According to the existing data, the wheel is invented by the Mesopotamian in about 2500 BC ("The invention of," 2010). The development of wheel has 6 stages, starting from rolling cylinder, moving to two wheels connect with axles by spokes (Bellis, 2012). At the beginning, people realized that round objects are easier to move than other shape; then they find a way of moving heavy objects, which is using cylindroid logs roll under the heavy objects. “Humans used several logs or rollers in a row, dragging the sledge over one roller to the next.” (Bellis, 2012). Then people invent axles to connect wheels, and try to put something on the axles, the first cart is created. After...

...The History of Computers Thousands of years ago calculations were done using people’s fingers and pebbles that were found just lying around. Technology has transformed so much that today the most complicated computations are done within seconds. Human dependency on computers is increasing everyday. Just think how hard it would be to live a week without a computer. We owe the advancements of computers and other such electronic devices to the intelligence of men of the past. The history of the computer dates back all the way to the prehistoric times. The first step towards the development of the computer, the abacus, was developed in Babylonia in 500 B.C. and functioned as a simple counting tool. It was not until thousands of years later that the first calculator was produced. In 1623, the first mechanical calculator was invented by Wilhelm Schikard, the “Calculating Clock,” as it was often referred to as, “performed it’s operations by wheels, which worked similar to a car’s odometer” (Evolution, 1). Still, there had not yet been anything invented that could even be characterized as a computer. Finally, in 1625 the slide rule was created becoming “the first analog computer of the modern ages” (Evolution, 1). One of the biggest breakthroughs came from by Blaise Pascal in 1642, who invented a mechanical calculator whose main function was adding and subtracting numbers. Years later, Gottfried Leibnez improved Pascal’s model by allowing it to also perform such operations as...

...characterized by the evocative juxtaposition of incongruous images in order to include unconscious and dream elements.” Although he was not limited to one particular style, or even one particular medium, no one artist is more identifiable with surrealist paintings than Salvador Dali. His surreal works, which he calls “hand-painted dream photographs,” are filled with images, often grotesque, over stretching landscapes which in and of themselves could send a viewer into a cycle of deep contemplation. Dali’s most famous painting of this type is The Persistence of Memory, oil on canvas, 1931. The small canvas, only 9½ x 13 inches, shows us images of melting pocket watches, a solid watch covered in ants, and a malformed “slug-like” creature lying on the ground. All this lay out on a beach landscape with illuminated, mountainous cliffs in the background. The drooping watches are, according to Dali, what Camembert cheese looks like when it begins to soften. Some theorize the watches represent a Freudian outlook on the passing of time and...

...of years. While technically a battery is an energy storage system, most people refer to a battery as a chemical/electrical system, rather than any object with potential energy (a flywheel, a spring, a piece of firewood, or a bucket of water). Chemical electrical batteries work through a redox chemical reaction, short for reduction oxidation (the same reaction behind other tried and true human inventions like fire). Basically, an electrical current is generated when oxygen ions are mercilessly ripped from one molecule and forced upon another. A simple battery must then contain three things; two different materials (with contrasting oxidation potentials) and an electrolyte - the material which links the previous two and encourages the violent and unjust treatment of oxygen ions. You, the suspicious and disbelieving soul, can test this out by mercilessly sticking a lemon with a strip of copper and a strip of zinc. The copper and zinc are the anode and cathode, and the lemon juice is the electrolyte. Of course, if you don't happen to have separate strips of pure copper and zinc lying around your house, then you're probably not cool enough to understand the process...

...copying another’s work, or borrowing someone else’s original ideas. But terms like “copying” and “borrowing” can disguise the seriousness of the offense: According to the Merriam-Webster OnLine Dictionary, to “plagiarize” means 1) to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own 2) to use (another's production) without crediting the source 3) to commit literary theft 4) to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source. In other words, plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else’s work and lying about it afterward. But can words and ideas really be stolen? According to U.S. law, the answer is yes. In the United States and many other countries, the expression of original ideas is considered intellectual property, and is protected by copyright laws, just like original inventions. Almost all forms of expression fall under copyright protection as long as they are recorded in some media (such as a book or a computer file). All of the following are considered plagiarism: • turning in someone else’s work as your own • copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit • failing to put a quotation in quotation marks • giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation • changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit • copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority...
