Analyse : Animal experiments

Résumé du document

As a case study, the subject of animal experiments has been chosen. Nowadays, industries utilize modern modes of production. New technologies have been developed to enhance the modernization emblem. Inspite of this development in science and technology, the use of traditional means which requires animals has not been eradicated. Many contractors have concluded that animal tests are of zero value in the present day and age. The truth is that experiments conducted on animals have been termed as Research & Development. In some countries, it is forbidden to perform research and development in the animal science area. However, some other countries consider this form of R&D a legal practice. A debatable issue arises if the young lads and lasses of today's world prefer to buy products which are a result of animal experiments. This debate will be the focus of our study. In this debate, we have considered the young generation as future models. They will reveal the next proposed tendency. The subjects and participants for this debate are the students of our school i.e. the ESC Bretagne, Brest and the Dutch students. These students or young people will demonstrate the common factors and the differences between these two cultures. France is a country where animal experiments are allowed and on the other hand, Holland considers it illegal to conduct these animal experiments. In order to work on this analysis, we have divided the tasks. The division is as under:
? Each researcher needs to question 50 people
? The answers received need to be treated in order to make the information efficient.
? Excel (MS Office tool) needs to be used to create graphs and tables.
? Finally, the information from the questionnaires needs to be analyzed. We have chosen to first display the common answers between the French and Dutch students and then different answers.

Extraits

[...] It is very surprising because the interviewed students from the land where animal experiments are illegal are not ready to pay more for products created from other ways of production, instead of the French students who ready to do it Question 12: They think that animal testing should be forbidden All these ethical issues lead to the question whether animal experiments should be forbidden or not of the interviewers think that animal experiments should be forbidden. This is a majority, but it is not big. There are a lot of discussion about whether it should be forbidden or not. This result shows that also young people have divided opinions about it YES 2. NO The results explain why Holland forbids animal experiments and France do not. Indeed, The Dutch students agree with 40% and the French students do not with 28%. All these aspects show that people do not know a lot about animal experiments. [...]

[...] Analyse : Animal experiments Introduction We have chosen the subject of animal experiments as case study. Nowadays, industrials can use modern way to produce. We have technologies for that. Yet, they still use the traditional mean which needs animals. Many contractors say even that tests on animals are not useful anymore. Actually, they made experiments on them in the name of Research & Development. In few countries, it is forbidden to do it; some others let that practice legal. We would like to know if the young people are able to buy products created from animal experiments. [...]

[...] Do you think you buy and use products from animal experiments? Yes No Are you ready to buy them? Yes No Does this count for any animal or do you make a difference between different animals? Any animal Few animal Are you ready to buy products which tell you on the packaging they use animal experiments if they explain you a good reason? Yes No 10) Would you be willing to pay more for a product which has not been tested on animals? [...]

[...] Buying or not products created from animal experiments 1. Question They prefer that animals will not die during the test Students prefer that animals will not die during the test That is not their use that students do not like but the death of animals. Yet, this tendency is complex. Indeed, there are the Dutch students who agree with this idea On the opposite, the French students do not want that animals are used during experiments, no matter they die or not. [...]

[...] We can see that students would appreciate that practice if companies gave a good reason on the packaging. Students want to be informed Agree 2. Not agree We can see that the French students react differently from the Dutch students. If a company should give a good explanation for animal experiments on the packaging of the French students are willing to buy the product. This cannot be said of the Dutch students. They have a strong opinion and this will not change if a good explanation is on the packaging. [...]
