In 1906, a medical company in Germany invented the first ultraviolet light. The light was initially used to treat patients with rickets, which supplied the patients with the Vitamin D they were lacking. Rickets is a disease, mostly occurring in children, that results from the body not having enough Vitamin D or calcium, therefore causing the bones to be weak. After much research, scientists now realize it’s much safer to acquire Vitamin D through diet and supplements. But, as with a countless amount of other inventions and discoveries throughout time, this invention of the UV light has been abused and is not used as what it was originally made for. In the 1970s, Friedrich Wolff, a German researcher used sun lamps for his studies with athletes. During the course of his research, he noticed athletes had developed darkened, tan skin after exposure to the UV lamps. Shortly after this, tanning beds became popular for what is now known as indoor tanning. UV radiation can cause sunburn, premature aging of the skin, eye damage, and skin cancer, just to name a few. Most importantly, tanning beds significantly increase the risk of developing melanoma. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, and the rate is increasing faster than any other form of cancer. Almost 30 million people tan indoors in the U.S. every year, 2 to 3 million of which are teens. Indoor tanning has become increasingly popular over the years and has almost become a norm among young Caucasian teens and adults alike. A much safer, and ultimately cheaper, alternative to the damages of indoor tanning is spray tanning or applying self-tanner. Today’s culture is all about instant gratification, and tanning beds definitely get the job done. Caucasians and other races with ... ... middle of paper ... ... that states one must be 16 or over to use indoor tanning facilities, and in some states the minors even need parental consent. These are not the kinds of laws that will make large or notable changes. What I would suggest is lowering the cost of spray tanning, putting a limit on the duration of time spent in a tanning bed along with how often one visits a week, and posters from the Skin Care Foundation in every tanning salon listing the risks and statistics of those who do choose to use a tanning bed. As a child at the age of 6 who lost my grandmother to lung cancer, who a heavy smoker all her life, I am rethinking the decisions I have made in the past knowing what I know now. Please think before you make your decisions. As you get much older, which decision will you have wished you made? The choices you make today will shape your world tomorrow. Choose wisely.
In the case study “If Looks Could Kill”, the hiring process is down to three candidates: Jamal, Tanya, and Darrell. The Hiring committee has to decide which candidate to rule out. All of the committee members agree that this is a difficult decision expect for one. One member of the committee speaks up and says that they think Darrell has to be the one ruled out because of his poor looks. The decision to rule out Darrell based on his looks is the main ethical issue. There are also a few secondary
morally permissible to kill off certain animals in order to preserve an ecosystem? I do believe that is okay to kill certain animals in order to save the animals living in an ecosystem as well as other scientists, but there are a lot of people that believe it is wrong to kill a specific species in an area in order to save the rest of the animals that live there. If we allow that a certain species to harm
To kill Prince Hamlet, or not to kill Prince Hamlet? That is the question that loomed in the depths of King Claudius’s mind before he made the decision to do so. First of all, Hamlet was a play written by William Shakespeare in London, England, between the times of 1600-1602. The play is written as a tragedy, which is a play where the protagonist has small flaws which ultimately lead to his, or hers, downfall. Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, lives in the late medieval period of Europe, in the
B.I. detectives that look beyond the evidence and look more on the psychology of the killer. They use this method to find the killer and save victims. Profiling is an actual method used by detectives in the F.B.I. not just the T.V. show. The T.V show breaks down the killers murder by the how they kill is accomplished, what their comfort zone is with the kill, what could be the potential stressor that started the murders and how they selected their victims.

Juliet?

If we looked back at all the people that were there that night we would find the nurse, Paris, Old Man Capulet, and possibly even Romeo. In the next few paragraphs we will explain how and who could’ve been the murderer of the two love birds. The first suspect we can look at is Romeo, he
third murderers identity is unknown and it is never revealed at the end of the play. But there are some clues throughout the story that suggests Lady Macbeth could be the unknown third murderer. Lady Macbeth could be the third murderer in Macbeth because she shows signs of wanting to be like a man, she is the one that influenced Macbeth to kill Duncan, and because she shows signs of extreme guilt later in the story. With these three pieces of evidence, Lady Macbeth is shown to be the third murderer

Looks Can Kill in The Picture of Dorian Gray Have you ever heard the saying, "If looks could kill"? Well, they can. Oscar Wilde reveals how looks can be charming, deceitful and even deadly. In The Picture of Dorian Gray, there are three main characters.

in the crime is his wife, Mrs. Wright. Her friends, Mrs. Hale and Peters are fascinated by the female stuff in the house. In their conversations, Glaspell (2014) notes, MRS. HALES: …“Look at all this! It’s all over the place! Why, it looks as if she didn’t know what she was about! (After she has said this, they look at each other, and then start to glance back at the door. After an instant Mrs. Hale has pulled at a knot and ripped the sewing.)”. They did not know that the knot was the evidence of

“The Cask Of Amontillado” In this short story “The Cask Of Amontillado” I think that there is a lesson and that lesson is be careful who you trust and don’t let what you love kill you. Edgar Allan Poe shows that what you love can kill you and the people you know and may trust my not be the ones that you should trust after all. I had a very strong feel a Poe’s story I liked that Amontillado did not take any insult and was very smart about the “perfect murder”. Amontillado planned out everything
