Animal Experimentation Many people say that animal experimentation is a cruel thing to do. They disagree on the fact that animals are tested yet others think that it should be legal even if it is harsh for many reasons. I say animal experimentation should stay legal and it’s a sacrifice that we have to make. Over the years, many types of medicines have come out. From Viagra to Tylenol, all these medicines might not be here today if it wasn’t for animal experimentation. Yes most of the time…

is not one that takes place in isolation but something that is personal to every pupil, and rather than teaching traditionally in which the teacher imparts knowledge to the pupils, pupils are lead to ‘discover’ knowledge themselves. This learning theory places great importance on learning as a social activity. This in the context of science is important, as scientific research is a collective achievement as well as pupils understanding the development of scientific research presentation in…

Science has revolutionized our world with unimaginable advancements in technology. From the brilliant minds of William Whewell (who coined the English word “science”) to the modern day scientist like Stephen William Hawking (who contributed to the vast amount of today’s knowledge on cosmology and quantum gravity). Furthermore, science has become so advanced in this day-in-age that it has been split apart into different sections that each cover a broad range of technological information,…

Introduction Forming written arguments isn’t always a simple task for elementary students. Developing students’ writing isn’t easy either but having enough scaffolding and making sure the expectations are clear help students along the way. There are many ways in which we can help students develop their informational writing. Through argument and discussion students can learn how to question other people’s ideas and thoughts, develop and formulate their own ideas, and refine them. Teachers…

Prior to conducting this experiment, my hypothesis was that I was going to offend all of the people involved, so I prepared myself mentally for the backlash and negative feedback. Surprisingly, there was a range of emotions and reactions to me breaking this folkway. Emotions ranged from being completely offended and disgusted to finding it hysterical. The reactions from the people fluctuate from being angry and notifying the manager to asking me to join them for dinner. The experiment was…

The debate between E.H. Carr and G.R. Elton signifies the conflict between the “Old School” of historical studies and the Revisionist model. Carr proposes that there exists within historical studies the need for interpretation, and that there is no such thing as a universalized “truth” or “fact”. This is evocative of the Postmodernist phenomenon to critique and rethink approaches to history, which I will discuss later in this paper. Elton, on the other hand, emphasizes the universal “truth”…

In this theory, Sherif explores how intergroup conflict as a result for competition for resources, impacts on workforce diversity. The principle conceptualization of this theory assumes that people are likely to be in conflict either individually or within the context of a group, when in competition for limited resources. Unlike other psychological and cognitive theories that explain individual and organizational behavior, the realist conflict theory does to rely on the structure…

Do No Harm Freud has made valuable contributions to the field of psychology; however, much of what Freud has said about complexes and stages have been called into question because they lack empirical support. Furthermore, Freud’s theories tend to have a fairly sexist bias. The idea that people seek a “father figure” is yet another example of Freud’s bias. The idea that God is an illusion and that religion is a neurosis is less based on empirical evidence than it is on personal perspectives and…

Numerous theories have been propounded to analyze developmental changes through stages in life from birth to old age. These theories vary in assumptions in each theoretical perspective. In analyzing Jessica’s case it has become clear that she is having low self-esteem because of negative thoughts and feelings about herself. In addition to that, she is struggling with eating disorder and going through emotion stress because of pressure at home. As a social worker, it is my conviction that this…

Unlike scientific theories, which usually states that the world came into existence randomly, the Bible gives the reader an illustration of how the world came to be. The Bible says, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1.1). Christians do not believe…
