Research Topics

Ethics in the Field of Science: Animal Testing
Although science and medical technology are advancing daily, scientists have struggled with how to test new advances without rousing the issue of human ethics causing them to turn to animal testing. As a supporter of advancement in science, I believe animal testing is needed in order to continue the advancement, but there are people who bring up the issue of ethics in animal testing. Because I do not know much about animal testing, I am interested in researching this topic to understand what animal testing really is and if it is aiding the improvement of society.

Standardized Test Scores: Are they a good way of measuring student ability?
As a high school senior, I had to take the SAT and ACT, both standardized tests, that would score my abilities in reading, writing, and math. Being a math and science oriented person and never scoring well on standardized tests, I disliked the fact that both tests were leaning toward reading/writing. I did not want to be rejected from a college of choice because of my standardized test scores. This topic was relevant to all current college students and will be to all future college students. I disagree that colleges should choose students based on these scores.
