Psychology

A great deal of research is being conducted on repairing faulty sensory organs through such devices as personal guidance systems, eyeglasses, cochlear implants, and so forth. Do you think that researchers should attempt to improve normal sensory capabilities beyond their “natural” range (that is, make human visual or auditory capabilities more sensitive than normal)? What benefits might this bring? What problems might it cause?

Question 2

Can you think of ways in which “classical conditioning” is used by politicians, advertisers, moviemakers? Do ethical issues arise from any of these uses?
