Frazier's Interview Report

Decent Essays
In the textbook, on page 201, it says, "Today in the sciences, books are usually either texts or retrospective upon one aspect or another of the scientific life." I believe that all textbooks, articles, and anything else that scientists published are quite complicated to assume that they are readable which means they can sound good while you read them but afterwards, they are not. I, however, think that it is impossible to disagree with something you just read because it sounds good and it seem like they know what they are talking about.

The sources that I found has a lot of information about my topic but when it comes to Frazier's interview, I don't think that it will give me that evidence that I need anymore because he doesn't know a lot

    Often times the harder sciences have enjoyed a disproportionally large piece of the spot light for their accomplishments in science as it relates to human activities, in practice though I believe the soft sciences have offered “Functional” methods of working with human conditions, both as individuals and in groups. The “little leaguer” comment was Wilsons way of subtly jabbing back at the dismissive hand gesture. 2. What evidence does Wilson…

    According to statistics, more than one billion people in the world are undernourished today. In his article “Attention Whole Foods Shoppers”, Robert Paarlberg discusses recent food policy of Western countries, according to which food products should be organic and local. In result, poor African countries experience hunger and worsening of the agriculture infrastructure because most Western countries lost their interest to invest the agricultural systems of developing countries. While in the West food becomes more and more exquisite, poor countries become deprived of the most basic food products, such as rice, wheat, and others. Paarlberg emphasizes that helping developing countries is no more a trend today and the world market is justified…

    HW #4 In the third edition of the book “They Say I Say: The Moves that Matter in Academic Writing,” the section “Writing in the Sciences” by Christopher Gillen focuses on how scientific writing is argumentative in the way that they make, support, and criticize claims using specific structures. Scientists follow a specific format in which they create a hypothesis based on existing data, test it out with experiments and talk about its conclusion with the results obtained. According to Gillen, they use the “they say/I say formula” (pg. 203) in which they give the context of the interpretations of data that already exists and their own response to it. This way they are able to enter the “scientific conversation” (pg. 219) and actually talk about…

    Dwight Macdonald has discussed the difference between reading and skimming a text in Reading and Thought. He uses examples such as functional curiosity relating to the growth of educated people to explain how the way we read affects our thinking. Macdonald explains that the more we read from the media, the more irrelevant information we gain. He uses the comparison of people reading in the sixteenth century and the nineteenth century and found that the average educated person back then took about two days to read and understand the material within a text. Nowadays, people skim through the text without understanding what they have read.…

    The reading I chose is the introduction to Chapter 1 of the book Beginnings of Western Science. It concerns the term “science” and, therefore, the debate over whether or not science existed before 1450 A.D. The controversy according to the author, David Lindberg, arises out of the many different definitions for “science.” He said, “. . .we have no choice but to accept a diverse set of meanings as legitimate and do our best to determine from the context of usage what the term ‘science’ means on a specific occasion” (Lindberg 2).…

    Text Information When a student enters Sixth grade in Texas, it marks a shift in the way new information is taught to them; in science, the information becomes more interdisciplinary and information starts to build on top of previously learned concepts.

    However, as I got farther along in the reading, I began to think that Stephen Gould’s purpose was to inform us of three reasons that could account for the extinction of dinosaurs. I believe that the purpose of this article was informative, as Gould wasn’t trying to entertain or persuade us to do anything. Stephen Gould was giving detailed facts on why each of the three theories were good or bad hypotheses. In my opinion, I believe that Gould did an excellent job in informing his readers and was successful in achieving his purpose because the intent can easily be detected in the reading. Throughout the essay, Gould made several valuable points that I agree with.…

    Einstein's writing was a bit confusing for me to read because I have a very black and white mind and I personally think that Einstein made it hard to understand. I think that he repeats the words over and over but every time is different. This and the Meno text were written the same in a way and both I didn't comprehend very well. I have a more black and white mind and I do better when people get to the point rather than using complicated terms and making the reader guess what they are saying.…

    Examples Of Corrobortion

    Karl Popper believed that a theory could not be confirmed by the empirical method but it could be corroborated. Corroboration was used by Popper for something that a scientific theory acquires when it survives attempts to refute it. Peter Godfrey Smith gives an analogy of how corroboration can be understood with the example of the academic transcript and a letter of recommendation. The transcript is like corroboration because it says what the student has done and measure your past performance but it does not say about what you will do in the future. Popper believed that no good reasons could be given for believing that past results is reliable for the future.…
