What makes all primates the same? The primate
order consists of a fairly vast number of species
some of which I was able to see up close and
personal at this classes recent field trip to the
San Diego zoo. Indeed the species belonging to
this mammalian order can exhibit almost shocking
differences from one species to the next. So in an
order of animals that contains differences that
can be so vast what ties them all together. What
exactly is it that makes a primate a primate?

Eye Contact Social Contact
1,138 words
Why have psychologists stressed the importance of
attachment behaviours in development? Many
theorists agree that social contact early in a
child's life is important for healthy personality
development. This is the most important
relationship of the child development period as it
is from this that the child drives its confidence
in the world. A break from this relationship is
experienced as highly distressing and constitutes
a considerable trauma (Schaffer 1964). Through
frequent social and emot...

Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Ebola Reston
1,212 words
In the year 1976, Ebola climbed out of its unknown
hiding place, and caused the death of 340 people.
Fear gripped the victims' faces, and uncertainty
tortured their minds. The people of Zaire waited

treatment of the horrible disease, but there was
no cure. They were forced to watch people die,
hoping that they would be saved from the violent
death of the Ebola virus. From the year of 1976 to
the present date of 1996, researchers have
searched fo...

Animal Experimentation Surgical Procedures
1,360 words
An Animal Experimentation uses living animals to
find out answers to scientific questions. People
in medical research use animals for two main
reasons: to make sure that medicines are as safe
and effective as possible before doctors give them
to people and to find out more about how the body
works. Without animal experimentation, many of the
most important advances in modern medicine would
never have occurred. But for researchers
painstaking work with animal subjects, deadly
viruses like rabies ...

Playing With Fate Supposed To Happen Family
678 words
The story The Monkeys Paw shows how playing with
fate can result in harmful doings. This book also
has many examples of foreshadowing that the White
family refused to recognize. I personally believe
that there is no plan set out for our lives, I
think that whatever happens, happens, and there is
no reason for its occurrence. I think that higher
beings set choices for us along the way, but there
is no right and no wrong decision. In this story I
believe that the family did believe in fate but
