289 Words2 Pages
Andres Martin’s child psychiatrist friends probably expect Martin’s evidence to be a case that happens repeatedly. When trying to prove if evidence is credible one must use the “STAR criteria”, and if a piece of evidence is able to meet its expectations it is considered credible to verify the evidence it must be sufficient, typical, accurate, and relevant. Andres Martin tries to prove that although tattoos can be used for stability for a teenager throughout their life, there are incidents where the “quest for permanence’ is misleading and adolescence get unneeded tattoos. Andres Martin uses a case vignette to prove this point, “A proud father at 17, "B" had had the smiling face of his 4-month-old baby girl tattooed on his chest. As we talked

The case of R. v. Schoenborn is a troubling case involving the death of three children and the defence of not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder. This defence must be critically analyzed along with the evidence and expert opinions as it could absolve the accused of the charges. As well, the precedent that the verdict provides is critical to the legal system and its future implication and thus give the decision more importance. After a thorough examination of the facts, it is evident that the verdict of the Supreme Court of British Columbia is correct and reflects the administration’s objectives and beliefs. This will be demonstrated through the application of legal principles and elements.

Famed psychologist, Sigmund Freud, is perhaps one of the most iconic and influential figures in the sphere of faulty scientific reasoning to date. Though his theories and ideas remain to be integral parts of psychological culture, a large number of them have been wildly disproven by modern scientists, who cite Freud’s misuse of evidence (more specifically, case studies) as a contributing factor to the erroneousness of his claims. Case study, Freud’s preferred method of investigation, extensively examines a single group, person, etc. As a result of this, one cannot use a case study as a dependable source of information, nor can one generalize a case study to a broader population, despite Freud’s multiple attempts to do just that, in a variety of studies dealing with mentally-ill patients. It is outdated and unreliable; a source of evidence that is of little to no scientific value, yet, one that still endures to be staple among discredited scientists and groundless researchers alike.

Surgeries can be a controversial topic and often shunned if the patient is not at risk of losing their life. In the written argument, “The ‘Unnatural’ Ashley Treatment Can Be Right for Profoundly Disabled Children,” Peter Singer uses elements of argumentation to professionally back up his statements on the operation. The word argument is used, “to represent forms of discourse that attempt to persuade readers or listeners to accept a position on a controversial issue” (Rottenberg and Winchell 5). To do this not only does he use Aristotelian rhetoric, Rogerian argument, and the Toulmin method to provide a strong case, but also claims of fact and policy. This creates an argument that will tug at the heartstrings while using credible and logical

It is obvious that the researchers did not pay much attention to the negative effects brought by the over exposure of Genie. Therefore, Susan’s words were hindsight biased. Another example is how David Rigler stressed the reason they took Genie was because they were very desperate to find Genie a new appropriate home [transcript]. Nevertheless, if we take into account the amount of people that were interested in Genie’s case, it is hard to believe that no one more suitable than Rigler, who is a psychiatrist that is not supposed to get involved as a foster parent, was available to pick up Genie. Moreover, during Genie’s entire four years of stay at Rigler’s, they never intended to send her away for a better foster home.

These findings have impacted the psychological field in a manner of ways. One finding was that four of the children later talked about how they felt uncomfortable in the dark room (Bain et al, 1958). This will have had an impact on the psychological field as it clearly displays the lasting effects of a stressful situation on young children. Thus, studies of this sort will have had an impact upon on the guidelines which the British Psychological Society (BPS) produce for all psychological studies to follow. The ethical guidelines now state that the monitoring of the willingness of the child should be applied to every study (British Psychological Society, 2014).

“What’s that thing on your face?” was the first thing I heard when meeting a new kid for the first time. Although this type of greeting is generally considered rude, I was never ashamed of my birthmark. My mother had convinced me that it was an “angel kiss”, and that very few babies had the privilege of being kissed by an angel. Those who were, would have a mark forever. At first glance I looked pretty normal as a young boy: two eyes, a nose, a mouth--the usual, but as I met other kids, I realized that they were staring at the bright red birthmark that dominated the left side of my face.

Some people might argue that a child’s upbringing forms the child’s foundation of life. It forms the child’s identity and its view of life. The upbringing of children is a wide concept because it is never the same. The question is if there is an edge between upbringing and torture. The intention of upbringing is indisputable – you want your children to have a great life and a great future, but perchance certain ways of educating children can cause more damage than good.
