This document discusses the changing role of health journalism and science journalism. It notes that society has become more medialized, journalism has become more personalized, and the role of the internet has increased and changed traditional power relations. Health is increasingly viewed as the most important personal value by Finns, influenced by increased health news coverage. However, health journalism remains understudied. The document questions whether all knowledge is equally valuable and explores tensions between experts and media.
Tok presentation
The document discusses whether religion or science provides better guidance for determining what is right and wrong, using the example of animal cruelty. The author explores views from both perspectives on issues like animal testing, farming practices, and using animals for human gain. While science uses reasoning and evidence from animal experiments, religion generally promotes tolerance for animals. Both religion and science have roles to play, as some level of suffering may be necessary for progress, but not all predicted outcomes are unavoidable. Overall, the document examines how religion and science approach the complex issue of animal cruelty.
AQ Journal Vol 86 - Wright FINAL PROOF
This document discusses the issues of pseudoscience and misinformation. It provides examples of popular pseudoscientific beliefs like detox diets, anti-vaccination movements, and homeopathy. While alternative medicines may have potential, current alternative practices like homeopathy have been repeatedly debunked by scientific evidence. However, pseudoscientific beliefs persist due to powerful commercial interests and misinformed celebrities who give credibility to pseudoscience. This can endanger public health when pseudoscientific claims are made for serious diseases like Ebola. Overall, the document argues we must recognize that facts should change beliefs, not the other way around.
Different ways of Knowing
The document discusses how science operates within a paradigm that shapes both what is considered possible and how problems are approached. It notes that science is not a uniform whole and is influenced by the society it exists within. While the scientific paradigm has led to medical advances, it also limits perspectives, as was seen when other traditions like Chinese medicine were initially not considered. The document advocates understanding different paradigms to provide more comprehensive end-of-life care that accounts for patients' diverse beliefs and experiences of illness.
what is life and scientific method (talk1)
The document provides an overview of biology and the scientific method. It discusses that biology is the study of living things through various branches and approaches. The scientific method is used to generate hypotheses and test theories through controlled experiments. Some key aspects of living things discussed are cells, metabolism, response to stimuli, homeostasis, growth, genetics, and reproduction. Paradigm shifts in scientific theories over time are also mentioned. The document then discusses some benefits of science like medicines and vaccines but also risks like nuclear weapons. It raises ethical issues around topics like nuclear power, animal testing, and human experimentation.

MEDICAL ANTHROPOLOGY: How Illness is Traditionally Perceived and Cured Aroun...
The document discusses different cultural perceptions of illness and disease. It explains that in Western cultures, illness and disease are often used interchangeably to refer to pathological bodily conditions. However, some non-Western traditions distinguish illness as a feeling of being unwell, which can be caused by disease but also spiritual or psychological imbalance. The document then contrasts naturalistic and personalistic explanations of illness. Naturalistic explanations view illness as caused by biological factors, while personalistic traditions attribute illness to supernatural forces or actions of other people. It provides the example of susto as an illness in some Latin American cultures believed to result from fright that causes the loss of one's soul.
How to be a good doctor - Oslers clinical pearls
The document discusses the traits of a good doctor from multiple perspectives. It provides quotes from physicians and experts throughout history on what makes a good doctor.

A good doctor gives unbiased advice while respecting patient preferences and uses evidence alongside clinical experience.
1 Scientific Method Power Point
This document provides an overview of the scientific method and key concepts in science through examples from biology. It discusses the early experiments distinguishing science and pseudoscience, like those showing microbes cause disease rather than spontaneous generation. Students are then instructed to design an experiment testing how a pillbug responds to changes in one variable, like light or food location, going through the full scientific process. The document emphasizes objectivity, hypothesis testing, replication of results, and peer review as hallmarks of the scientific method.
Final presentation pp
The dystopian society in the novel Delirium by Lauren Oliver has several key problems:
1) Love is seen as a disease and citizens must undergo surgery to remove emotions.
2) Travel is restricted and cities are separated by electric fences.
3) Citizens have no choices and the government dictates who they marry and have children with.
4) People live without strong emotions.
The problems arose because people believed love drove one mad and caused pain. The main character, Lena, questions the lies of this dystopian world and fights for her belief in love and choice. The novel reflects societal fears of losing rights, living without emotions, and a controlling government. To avoid this dystopian future
Chapter 1 Introduction to Science- Physics
Physics Introduction- Scientific Method, Attitude, and How Science is related to technology and society.
Ch01 about science
Science is the study of nature's rules through observation and experimentation. Mathematics is the language of science because it allows relationships to be expressed concisely and unambiguously. The scientific method involves making hypotheses and predictions then testing them through experimentation. For a hypothesis to be considered scientific, it must be testable and have a way to potentially prove it wrong. Science differs from art and religion in that it discovers and records natural phenomena through observation rather than addressing meaning or experience. Progress is now generally faster than in past centuries due to rapid scientific and technological advancement.

Class #7
This document discusses modern medicine's increasing detachment from humanity. It argues that while technological advances can treat illness, medicine must not lose sight of treating the whole person. The document advocates for allowing people to die with dignity rather than clinging to life at all costs. For Christians, death is a birthday into eternity rather than something to fear, as one can commit fully to heaven.
Animal Ethic Consideration.ppt
This document discusses several perspectives on the ethical use of animals in research. It notes that while animal research has benefits for improving human and animal health, it also causes pain and distress that should be minimized. The document advocates applying the principles of replacement, reduction and refinement to minimize animal use and suffering. It acknowledges there are reasonable positions on both sides of this issue and calls for intellectual discussion to challenge misrepresentations while continuing to enhance standards of care and accountability in animal research.
ANIMAL WELFARE AND THE HUMAN RACE MORALITY
The document discusses animal welfare and humanity's treatment of animals. It argues that animals experience feelings like stress and pain, and their environments should meet their needs and allow natural behaviors. However, humans have long exploited and been cruel to animals. It notes how some thinkers in the past argued animals don't matter morally since they can't reason. But now animal welfare is an academic subject, and research shows cruelty to animals can indicate a tendency towards criminal acts and societal harm. The document concludes all beings deserve humane treatment and that a society's treatment of vulnerable groups, like animals, reflects its overall morality.
Culture and health
This document discusses the importance of culture in health and healthcare. It begins with an introduction to anthropology and definitions of culture. It then explores how culture shapes views of health, illness, and healers. Various cultural practices that impact health are described, such as hot-cold beliefs, susto, and female genital mutilation. The PEN-3 model for developing culturally-competent health interventions is introduced. Case studies demonstrate how understanding cultural contexts can improve care. The document recommends training healthcare workers in cultural competence and centering culture in approaches to well-being.

01 - Intro to Abnormal Psychology
This document discusses different perspectives on what constitutes abnormal behavior and how it has been defined and treated throughout history. It explores statistical, social, and functional definitions of abnormality. Historically, abnormality was viewed through supernatural lenses and treated with exorcisms or torture. Later, Hippocrates and Galen proposed biological causes, like humoral imbalances. In the 19th century, psychiatry emerged treating mental illness as physical conditions, focusing on hospitalization. Treatments have included shock therapies, brain surgery, and modern psychotropic drugs.
Stem cell research becg
This document discusses stem cell research and the ethical issues surrounding it. It begins by defining stem cells and their potential uses and then outlines the main ethical problems, which center around the fact that embryonic stem cells require the destruction of embryos. It also discusses stem cell research from business and economic perspectives, noting the large potential market but also that moral issues could slow growth. Potential solutions proposed include outlawing embryonic stem cells and using alternative cell types, or defining when human life begins to provide ethical guidelines. The document also notes vulnerable groups in research and potential uses of stem cells.
The Negativity Bias and Taking in the Good
The brain's evolved bias is like Velcro for negative experiences, but Teflon for positive ones. The unfortunate results include stress and threat reactivity, anxiety, depression, and limited gains in psychotherapy. Happily, through tree steps of mindful attention, we can internalize positive experiences in implicit memory systems, weaving resources for well-being, coping, and kindness into the fabric of the barin and the self.

- 10. Shruggie Shruggie (noun): a person who doesn’t care about the science versus pseudoscience debate. When presented with descriptions of exaggerated or fraudulent health claims or practices, their response is to shrug. Shruggies are fairly inert, they will not argue the merits (or lack thereof) of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) or pseudoscience in general. They simply aren’t all that interested in the discussion, and are somewhat puzzled by those who are. Val Jones, http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/index.php/a-shruggie-awakening/
