introduction is it sometimes right to prevent scientific  discovery? i believe it isnt and this isnt right ,because it would lead to a lot of consequences for the futer for example people getting sick, no weponary and bad transport. scientific is really important in these days to keep up with the newest tech, fast transport.

debate I am talking about the positives and negatives of this statement,’Is it sometimes right to prevent scientific development and discovery?’ This will show my personal thoughts and opinions in which I would talk about agreeing and/or disagreeing with the statement. Firstly,in my opinion I would say it is right to prevent this because you have to do something to find something like go sea diving or mountain climbing so it would be weird if you just randomly do something.

i disagree with the statement “sometimes it is right to prevent scientific research and discovery” this is because….

Misconduct in research (for example, fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism) damages the scientific enterprise, is a misuse of public funds, and undermines the trust of citizens in science and in government. Misconduct is a special concern for governmental administrators, who are the primary constituency of the Global Science Forum. On behalf of the public, and to achieve societal benefits, they fund, oversee and evaluate research, much of which is conducted directly in public institutions or is otherwise sponsored by governments.

At a time when scientific advances are considered to be critical in areas such as economic competitiveness, health, national security, and environmental protection, public officials are strongly motivated – indeed obligated – to ensure the highest levels of integrity in research.

This is because when you discover something its a thing that hasn’t been discovered for a long time or never seen before. My evidence is you find something its not a dream and its real.this is why i disagree with the statement “sometimes it is right to prevent scientific discovery.

Some people might agree with the statement “sometimes it is right to prevent scientific discovery and development” This is because a person that discovers something might just make it up to sell for a big price. People would maybe want to do this because they might be poor or want something That is worth alot. They could do this by making metal then faking a gold plack.

i think it is never right to prevent scientific discovery because you could discover something that is helpful to everyone in the world or make life easier for example Thomas Edinson invented the light bulb, which made our life way more easy. you never know you could be the next discovery legend. this is why i disagree with the statement “it is sometimes right to prevent scientific research”

there are some science students that are trying combinations of medicine to make one for other illnesses for example cancer and others but they might get one that people who have that illness but the something inside of medicine and may harm the person that is ill. This could be very severe and could probably kill them.

Some people might agree with the statement “sometimes it is right to prevent scientific discovery and development” This is because a person that discovers something might just make it up to sell for a big price. People would maybe want to do this because they might be poor or want something That is worth alot. They could do this by making metal then faking a gold olack.

Do you believe it is sometimes right to prevent scientific discoveries and  invention ? from my view of point it isn’t right to prevent scientific discoveries and inventions. Imagine a future without technology any development in home products,entertainments or any kind.

an example of a scientific research is oil and oil can make anythuing for example most things people dont know whats inside their iphone and their laptops or tablets so you can never say sometimes its right to prevent scientific development and discovery.

the side you choose its your choice you can prevent it but its the mostly better if you choose not to prevent scientific research. you have to know without science we wouldnt know how to cure illness.

To say that Macbeth is a bloody butcher is to endorse Malcolm’s final view of Macbeth and his wife-“the dead butcher and his fiend-like queen.” Macbeth killed Duncan; murderers appointed by him killed Ban quo, and the family of Mac Duff. Even then, we should not reduce him to a one-dimensional character–just a criminal/villain; we have gone through his soliloquies and asides from act 1 scene 3 till the very end of the play. We must have noted his divided self, his fears and agonies, the conflict between his “vaulting ambition” and his imaginative conscience. He has caused great sufferings to the people, and yet he himself has no less suffered. His reaction to the news of his partner’s death and the ensuing deliberation  on the tragic futility of life–“a tale told by an idiot,” it being “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”–must be a memorable existentialist commentary. Macbeth is a great poet sadly counterpointed with uncontrollable desire. That is precisely the irony of the Renaissance man, the tragedy of being both “fair and foul.”

Macbeth Is a Butcher because he likes killing for fun and he doesn’t really know why he does it. He was a good person generally but he was just out of his mind. Macbeth can be a nice man but he wants to be a king so i think he’s trying to prove he is a warrior and he will make a great leader so he must be a butcher. If he’s in a argument he will argue a bit then he will just leave them to shout at him like with Lady Macbeth and Macbeth. He doesn’t like seen dirty or with blood on his hand it seemed to him like he done something wrong but inside he was doing it to have a role and be bold to everyone that he was a warrior. He gets pushed around by Macbeth a lot and he tries to think up an excuse to make her stop talking but it never works out for him. Macbeth is a butcher for several reasons and he has a feeling if he shows no fear he will be king but he is a bit paranoid about people Snitching on him.

Macbeth had many noble qualities as well as several tragic flaws. He was a courageous, brave and good nobleman who was haunted by superstition, moral cowardice and an overwhelming ambition. The three points which contribute greatly to Macbeth’s degeneration are the prophecy which was told to him by the witches, Lady Macbeth influenced and manipulated Macbeth’s judgment, and finally Macbeth’s long time ambition which drove his desire to be king. Although he was so far courageous and brave and he is seen as the hero at the beginning of the play, his sky high ambition causes his damnation. And ultimately he becomes a tragic hero.In Macbeth, Macbeth can be seen as a tragic hero based upon this characteristic.  He does occupy a high status and, initially, embodies virtue.Here is where Macbeth parts from the typical tragic hero.  Macbeth, is eye for an eye is believed, deserved his outcome. His punishment (he is killed) does not exceed his crime (murder).

However, in concordance with Shakespeare opinion, Macbeth isn’t all bad. At first glance, it may seem difficult to find redeeming features in a mass-murdering tyrant. But it’s important to remember that, at the beginning of the play, he is lauded as a great and loyal soldier.Macbeth is very complicated, which makes it difficult to arrive at a definite decision about how much he is to blame. At the start of the play Macbeth is held in high regard by many people. An example of this is when a sergeant from the army describes his as ? For brave Macbeth – well he deserves that name? He is also thought of as a respected cousin by the king who calls him ? O worthiest cousin? , this shows us that Macbeth was valued by many people as the Thane of Glamis also he could have killed the people he hated which he did but he left some out.

A Shakespearean tragic hero is defined as ‘an exceptional being of high degree’ whom has a fatal flaw. Macbeth’s character is a classic example of a Shakespearean tragic hero. In many of Shakespeare’s tragedies, the main character starts off as a very brave, heroic person whom everyone praises. However as time passes by, the character loses his reputation because he faces a moral dilemma. He also loses reputation due to his fatal flaw.

In Act 1 Scene 2, we know that Macbeth is the main character, because of his brave actions in the battle. A tragic hero’s exceptional nature generally raises him above the average level of humanity.In my opinion, Macbeth is represented as a tragic hero. Macbeth’s characger is a classic example of a Shakespearean tragic hero. In many of Shakespeare’s tragedies, the main character starts off as a very brave, heroic person whom everyone praises.

Today, I saw of bombing and killing i felt scared and uncomfortable because what if they turned

Once there was a haunted house where no one was allowed in.Three boys were tempted to look around but they were scared, the house had a family and they all disappeared. The three kids knew that and they were freaked out. What if they disappeared too? They were on their way there when they got close to an old man and the old man asked them “Where are you lot going?”. “To the haunted house. We were told that it’s really scary and crooked”, answered Adam. “THE HAUNTED HOUSE?!” asked the old man. “Yeah, the haunted house, we’re going to see it”, said Tom. Henry was happy to show how brave he was with the crew. Henry was the youngest one, Tom was the middle one and James the oldest. He was responsible for them. The haunted and crocked house “had a mouth”. They all were scared of this too. they went near and the moon was shining bright, they cut the opening,then they got to the door and it had a sign showing “DANGER”.

“Hello” said tom but he was scared that he woke someone up and the other boys said he is a scaredy cat. After they went inside they all went to the living room and sat on a dusty ledge.When the were in the haunted house, Tom saw a broken piano,just hanging,a door that had one nail swinging side to side “It Was Really eerie
” said tom. James went into a bedroom and there was a rusty old bed with no matress and a bag with a dead body in it, that smelt like rotten food from a bin. everyone got together in the middle. They heard a noise and it was a zombie they looked and started screaming, they started running but she got James………..

hours you woke there was a door shutting. From room to room they went, hand in hand, lifting here, opening there, making sure—a ghostly group.

“Here we left it,” he said. And he added,

“Oh, but here too!”

“It’s upstairs,” harry murmured.

“And in the garden,” tom whispered

“Quietly,” they said, “or we shall wake them.”

But it was not that you woke us. Oh, no. “They’re looking for it; they’re drawing the curtain,” one might say, and so read on a page or two.

“Now they’ve found it,” one would be certain, stopping the pencil on the margin. And then, tired of reading, one might rise and see for oneself, the house all empty, the doors standing open, only the wood pigeons bubbling with content and the hum of the threshing machine sounding from the farm.

“What did I come in here for? What did I want to find?” My hands were empty. “Perhaps it’s upstairs then?” The apples were in the loft. And so down again, the garden still as ever, only the book had slipped into the grass.

They went in the garden and no one saw the back part and there were just zombies walking around trying to get a way in. Tom went out to see any sign of them near us…..

Reeve (author) creates an effective character called Shrike in this novel with many different emotion and feelings. in some cases he is an emotionless, raging beast. and in other cases he is careful of the emotions of others. an example of his heartlessness is when he chases Tom and Hester through Airhaven but in other cases he is interpreted to be caring for his friends, like when he agrees to help Tom and Hester get back to London. his fierce side is displayed when he says: “I work for the lord mayor and he has sent me to kill you!” this perfectly shows his carelessness to others. this comment puts the reader on the edge of their seat, terrified with what will happen next. this will interest the reader about the feelings of shrike as the character in that situation and the big decision that he has stated. also knowing the heartlessness it takes to take for him to commence with his objective.

his appearance is portrayed to be scary with his claws, ragged trench-coat and glowing green eyes. on the other hand, adding to his caring side, he has said to Hester: “you cant stay here child!” using the word child shows he may have cared for a child as well. he looks like a ferocious monster but he may be someone completely different on the inside.

This is why Reeve has made a very interesting character with many different sides.

This character may stimulate the readers mind, causing them to deeply think about the emotions and feelings about Shrike. They may feel concerned for Shrike as he has been through so much.they may feel torn that Shrike is made to be destructive but has positive intentions.

I believe that the most effective Shrike is that it might sadden the reader that Shrike is a caring character who has been put through so much, being transformed into a cyborg. He has done this to be united with his true love (hester). In return for him to undertake the hard transformation to a cyborg that he is used to do heartless duties when knowing his wrongdoing. and the sacrifices he makes to get his task done.

reeve also creates a description on shrike by his eyes because he says his there round and shine bright green he looks scary when you picture him in your head.

reeve creates an effect because he says shrike has two sides than one. some cases he is scary and no hearted like some kind of monster or a kind of creature. also he has a sensetive and villan side. he shows by saying to hester “YOU CANT STAY HERE CHILD”. This shows his good side.

In the Mortal Engines, Shrike is shown to be a ruthless killing machine, harming several Aviatrices and killing three pirates when his hunt for Hester Shaw takes him to Airhaven. However in Infernal Devices when Oenone Zero Re-resurects he finds that he cannot hurt humans, because of his consicence. He can still, however, destroy stalkers.

Despite being a killing machine, Shrike doesn’t like to harm children, because he himself once had children before he became a stalker. He is shown to help children, such as when Hester Shaw was left half dead he adopts her. Another example is when a mayor wants him to kill the children of someone else. Instead of killing the children, he kills the mayor. The traveller Chung-Mai Spofforth interview him in 923TE when writing her book In Search Of The Stalkers. He said that he remembered several occasions when he had spared or protected children for reasons that he could not explain. He doesn’t know why he is so fond of children until the very last book, where he remembers his past life.

Another goal of his is that he wants to make Hester Shaw into a stalker. He keeps this goal right up to the end of the story, when he sees that she had been clutching hard to Tom even in death. So instead he lays them both to rest in a valley.
