Final Project

My argumentative essay was over the placebo effect and whether the effect is deemed to be deceitful or not. Also, going into depth the research of every single type of placebo. For example it is not always just a sugar pill or saline injection, it can be many more simplified things. Such as, lab tests, physical exams or checkups.  Those being seen as more acceptable or honest. For this next project I plan to make a video explaining the different types of placebos and the popularity of those certain types of placebos. How many doctors actually utilize placebos? Also, if doctors see the use of placebos as dishonest or is they believe it is one of the most honest ways to treat certain patients.  I believe this will relate to college students, starting off because we all go to the doctors, we all get sick, sometimes injured or go through other medical problems. It’s extremely important to be aware of the possible treatments you could potentially receive or bring to light maybe a situation where you were administered a placebo and were unaware. Maybe that is okay for you because it helps or maybe you completely hate the thought of the whole concept. Otherwise it is called a placebo for a reason, you aren’t going to know you are receiving one but maybe the simpler treatments of a placebo like lab test, etc. could be easier to identify if that is what happening. I hope it will be easy to find some things to put together this video but I don’t know how easy this will be!
