Let's say you're testing a new drug to see if it helps with depression. We'll have 200 people split into two groups of 100 each. The first 100 people get the new pill, while the remaining 100 people get a placebo (sugar pill). Each participant does not know whether they are taking the actual drug or the sugar pill. This is important.

The control group is the group of people taking the sugar pill. This is to counterbalance the experimental group that takes the actual drug. If we just had one group, say the experimental group, then we wouldn't be able to compare those results against anything else.

Now let's say that everyone, in both groups, reported better moods and more positive attitude. This would strongly imply that the new drug is not effective because people who took the sugar pill got better. In other words, the sugar pill is as effective if not more so compared to the new drug. It may be the sugar pill, the psychology of taking any pill, or some other factors that contributed to those people getting better.

If only the people in the experimental group got better, then we could conclude that the drug is effective in some way. Again, we're making a comparison between the two groups, and the control group is used to reduce the placebo effect.

israel is a small country in the middle east about the size of the state of new jersey. the country has a diverse climate with snowy mountains in the north and the hot desert in the south. jordan, syria, and the palestinian authority all border israel to the east. lebanon serves as the northern border and egypt borders in the south.about two-thirds of the population was born in israel. all other israelis come from over 100 different countries. most israeli jews live a lifestyle similar to western europeans and north americans.israel's population is about 75 percent jewish; most of the rest is arab. the israeli-occupied palestinian territories have some 3.5 million inhabitants—about 11 percent jewish, 89 percent palestinian.because of israel's variety of terrain and climate, the country has a large variety of animals. boars roam the damp oak woodlands of the golan heights. caspian turtles live in the marshlands along the coast. and hyenas are prevalent in the negev desert region in the southern israel.israel is the only fully democratic country in the middle east. elections are held for seats in the knesset or parliament every four years. if a party wins 2 percent of the votes, the party gets one or more seats in parliament. no one party has control so they have to work together. the leader of the largest party becomes prime minister.the story of modern israel begins more than 3,500 years ago. most israelis are jews, who are said to be descended from the biblical figure abraham, through his son isaac.
