    The cultural clashes amongst the people of the Hmong and Westered based society of America about health care is a clash of ideologies and ethnocentrism.

With the experimental theory Galileo was encouraging people to learn for themselves to make sure what they believed was actually true because it had gone through a couple of trial runs, not just because the Pope said so.

The basis for this is Observation, the reason for why something is what is, do research, conduct a hypothesis, and then test your findings with an experiment. His rules stated in principia say “1) we are to admit no more causes of natural things such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances, (2) the same natural effects must be assigned to the same causes, (3) qualities of bodies are to be esteemed as universal, and (4) propositions deduced from observation of phenomena should be viewed as accurate until other phenomena contradict them (Gianopoulos, Andrea, Phil Miller, and Charles Barnett.

    There is little doubt that knowledge can be produced through active experiment and passive observation. But they are just two of the several ways in which humans can produce knowledge. In fact, it is accepted that there are eight ways in which knowledge can be acquired. These ways are the following ones: Sense perception, Language, Reason, Emotion, Imagination, Faith, Intuition and Memory. Occasionally, knowledge can be produced in some other way, for example by random discovery (a.k.a. serendipity), as in the case of penicillin which was discovered by chance from mold and later gave rise to a whole new category of drugs.…

    In Newton’s experiments, critical observation was involved, they were proved mathematically and became evidences. Mathematical calculations can explain concepts objectively, which means Newton’s findings are rather logical as he avoided stating opinionated statements without examples. These calculations can also be applied to predict events in the future. In 1684, Halley asked Newton about the force of attraction towards the sun, Newton answer that he used calculations to prove the curve being in an ellipsis shape (Cohen 52). Although he didn’t manage to find his calculated solution, he used another new method to prove it and had the same answer (Cohen 52).…
