If I were a scientist I would want to be a forensic scientist. According to Dictionary.com "forensic science is a branch of medicine used for legal purposes and concerned with determining cause of death, examination of injuries due to crime and negligence, and examination of tissue samples relevant to crimes; also called Forensic pathology." There are many principles and methods of triditional sciences involved with forensics like mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. Forence science is also a synonym for criminalistics. It encompasses many feilds of science like anthropology, biology, chemistry, engineering, genetics, medicine, pathology, phonetics, psychiatry, and toxicology. To become a forensic scientist the AAFS says, "you need to atleast have your bachelors degree in science."
I want to be a forensic scientist because it brings justice to those who have been murdered. This would make not only the families feel better but also make me feel acomplished with myself. I think that it is very important that we have forensic scientist because the help answer the questions that most people can't. This really appeals to me because I love helping other people and by doing this I will be helping people. Most people will say well you can help people in other ways; why this way? The reason is because my best friend lost a person very close to her. I saw how this effected her and I was just inspired to help others. I think that this would be a good profession for me because you have to think about all the different possibilities that could effect it. This way I would never get bored because everyday is a new adventure.
I think that forensic science will become more and more affective over the years as technology improves with it. This way when things like this happen people can't get away with it. Society will improve because then people will know that the can't get away with things like that then hopefully all crimes will stop.

This is really interesting and I love your pictures! I think it would be fascinating to be a forensic scientist.
ReplyDeleteYou gave really good reasons for why you would want to become a forensic scientist. I liked how you added the definition that you got off of dictionary.com. The way you wrote your own definition of this career was really easy to understand for someone like me, who didn't research this field of science.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this post because I've seen this job on a ton of criminal investigation shows. You did a superb job explaining what the job entails but I have to say, the pink font with the green background while talking about dead people threw me off a little bit. Still an incredible job!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job explaining why you want to become a forensic scientist. Also I agree with Sam that the picture is pretty interesting and I think you have a cool title too.
