CONCLUSION:

After performing this experiment we can conclude by saying that, when we pushed the pieces of paper through the tables, it reacted in such a way that is similar to the spreading of tectonic plates by mid-ocean ridges. This happened as, when the paper was pushed through the tables, it formed a curved shape representing the mid-ocean ridges, and as it began to flatten the first strips that were marked were pushed further away, these strips representing the spreading of the tectonic plates.

How do you feel the media portrays social justice issues?

I feel that the media portrays social justice issues as issues that are the most relevant and important topics that they concentrate on, as they are talking to and informing the people that are affected and therefore get more views or ratings.

Has it been difficult to find articles on social justice issues why/why not?

Not really, because as I stated in the first question, the media portrays social justice issues as issues that are the most relevant and important topics that they concentrate on, as they are talking to and informing the people that are affected, which would make it very easy to find these sort of issues in the local newspaper or even the internet.

Do you think that the media operates from a moral framework? Give evidence by using your research.

Yes, I do think that the media works from a right or wrong framework, as I have found during my research that they have taken a side, which in this case was the ’right’ and ‘fair’ side, and that they have claimed throughout their articles that they think that the “death penalty is the cruelist form of punishment yet”, “the death penalty should be abolished throughout the world”, and more………

a.     describe how optical fibre may be used in medical applications

Optical fibre is contained in medical instrument called an ‘endoscope’, which is a flexible tube. Optical fibres can come in use of medical applications because it can be passed through the mouth into the digestive system to provide doctors with images that can be magnified up to four times the original size.

b.     Identify the traditional medical techniques that optical fibres might replace.

Optical fibres could replace healthcare monitoring for patients that need continuous medical assistance, due to the fact that these optical fibres are able to measure vital physiological parameters such as respiratory movements, cardiac activity, pulse movement, and the temperature of the body without any harm to the patient. Laser surgery is also a new technique that has been invented through the breakthrough of the invention of optical fibres, which allows surgeons to operate deep inside the brain and ear. The laser beam vaporizes unwanted tissues and has the added advantage of being bloodless. 

c.      Evaluate the benefits of fibre optic technology to medicine 

Fibre optic technology has advanced all medicine, so that there is use of minimally invasive surgery, which has made procedures less painful and has improved recovery times, by being able to get a better and more accurate diagnosis of the medicine to improve it.

1. How well did your group work?

I think my group worked pretty good throughout the whole project as a whole, the project was handed in and completed on time, and the individual assessment was also completed excellently and handed in on time.

2. Would you work with the sanme group of students again? Why?

Yes, I would work with the same group again, because of the reasons that I have stated in the above question.

3. How much effort did you put into this project?  What could you have done better?

I think that I put a lot of time and effort into this project, and I think that I was working to the best of my ability.

4. Do you think your final wikispace was your best work? Why? 

Yes, I do think that is was my best work, because of the fact that I had placed a lot of time and effort into this project.

5. What did you think of the project when you received it? Why?

At first I thought that this project was going to be the hardest project so far, and that it was going to take more then 5 weeks to complete, because as soon as I looked at the amount of words that had to be written I thought it was to hard, but that wasn’t the case.

6. What do you think of the project now you have completed it? Why?

I think that the project was pretty boring, only because the whole project was based around just finding information on artworks, There weren’t any interactive andn fun activities, etc…

What contribution did the following scientists make towards the big bang theory?

-         Walter Adams.

Walter Adams was the first, along with Theodore Dunham, to observe the effect of the cosmic microwave background (CMB).

-         Ralph Alpher.

Alpher made the first attempt to calculate the abundance of elements created in the hot early universe and also predicted the temperature of the radiation left over from the Big Bang. Although this “cosmic microwave background” was discovered in 1964, Alpher’s contributions to the birth of cosmology went largely unrecognized.

-         Robert Dicke.

 The idea that the universe began with a big bang was first proposed in 1927, However Bob Wilson and Arno  Penzias provided the real support of the big bang theory when they detected a faint signal that spread throughout all of space. Although Penzias and Wilson first detected this noise, called “cosmic background radiation,”(CBR) it was Robert Dicke who first proposed that such evidence of the Big Bang might still exist.
