Several debates have been made on the topic that although the level of our technology keeps on improving day by day, but do all of these hi-tech gadgets give us the proper advantages?

The discovery of the lac operon helped build the foundation upon which modern day genetics is built. Encoded within the genomes of E. coli, the lac operon is required for lactose metabolism. In turn, lactose is required to activate the lac operon to full levels of expression. Mutations in the various components of this regulatory system can be thus discriminated by culturing mutant strains on different growth media.

This is an essay on System One and Two (Kahneman). System One is the instinctive primitive system that compels biased subjective thinking. It is the type of thinking that is prejudicial and irrational but happens so fast and subconsciously that I am unaware of it. System One is the system that is unhelpful for researchers and is the type of thinking that we wish to avoid. Recognizing that my instinctive split-second decision making shares these characteristics will make me all the more conscientious of trying to avoid it. We have a tendency moreover to assert that we are not biased, non-prejudicial, and so forth. Awareness of this ripple of instinctive reaction that is hardly, if at all, registered by us can make us think otherwise. It may be, after all, that we are subjective and judgmental even without our realizing it. Knowledge of this dual system, can, consequently, help us in our research by making us less smug about our alleged objectivity and by making us more careful to be as objective as possible.
