The use of DNA sequences and samples in mitigating against contemporary and future problems is an idea looked upon with much glee.

There is no better example of the unethical, irrational, and questionable discussion than watching the circus of politicians’ debate during this election year in the United States. In the most recent farce by the GOP candidates in New Hampshire was quite a spectacle. One must ask where the rational, believable, and trustworthy politicians have gone, if there ever were any to begin with. However, the role that political leaders take on should involve respectable rational dialogue that can be trusted by the people who elect the officials rather than putting on a spectacle that is nearly as entertaining as ...

ANALYSIS OF TWO ARTICLES: A LADDER OF CITIZEN PARTICIPATION AND THE NEW MT.EDEN

The article “A Ladder of Citizen Participation” by Sherry R Arnstein (1969) is about the various forms of civil participation in the cities.

Instead there is widespread non-participation and tokenism of participation. Arnstein defines the civil participation as a term for citizen power which enables the citizens that were excluded from decision making processes to be included in the future. If there is civil participation, ...

In finding the correlation and association between two numerical variables, determined sets of information must be as accurate as possible. Otherwise, discrepancies in results and intended/unintended statistical manipulation could change the course of a mathematically involved study. For me, two factors could change the course and the outcome of a specific research in a major way – these variables are known as measurements and biased sampling.

Measurements and biased sampling correlate with one another in data extraction. However, inaccurate measurements unintentionally or intentionally done are different. Measurements based on estimation and inaccurate are also different depending on mathematical circumstances. Measurements are variables ...
