During slavery in the United States, southern white slave owners were raised to believe that blacks were inferior, and they believed it. It was hard for slave owners to imagine life any other way, and for them, there was no reason to imagine life any other way. It could be argued that the Yankees used Plato's epistemology.

attention to the numbers over the science (McNutt). eTBLAST was an enlightening read, and I appreciate the developers intention; scientific and medical jargon is frightening.

In all of my years of public schooling, I have never written about one subject for so many times. With the past few drafts, I realized that zoology is slightly more complex than what people would imagine. As you would expect with zoology, people study the structure, habits, and evolution of all animals, both non-living and living.

Psychology, the study of how mental processes and behavior are affected by internal processes and the environment, uses three main methods to study behavior: Case studies, correlational studies, and experiments. Each of these studies has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it is impossible to determine which is better, as each study’s effectiveness depends on its nature. Case studies, experiments, and correlational studies all have something in common, though: they can all be affected by…

As a result, the public commonly accepts scientific findings and theories as undisputable truths. However, the certainty of modern science is misleading and continues to leave the question of reality open for…
