The process of discovery enlightens and educates individuals with fresh, meaningful ideals about the physical and spiritual world, whilst also reshaping an individual’s perspectives of the world, themselves and others. Two texts which explore this dynamic of discovery is Simon Nasht’s documentary Frank Hurley: The Man Who Made History (2004) and Khaled Hosseini’s novel The Kite Runner (2003). Nasht’s documentary uses Frank Hurley’s expedition into the Antarctic as a vehicle to convey one’s…

After researching the topic of the Loch Ness Monster, I do not believe in this legend based off scientific studies and using common logic. First off connecting the details of the lake it could not support an animal of that caliber for this long. After all the extensive hours of research and looking for this animal, plus the money put into this, not one monster has been found. Humans have an incredible use of the brain called pareidola. Last, this monster is still a legend for the main reason of…

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”…

This shift has lead to the question of whether the impact this technology has on society is…

information. Not only monks and the commoners, but also monarchs like Louis XIV showed appreciation for the sciences. A drawing illustrated during 1671 captured Louis XIV’s visit to the French Royal Academy, which showed a room filled with observers around scientific equipment like a skeletons, a map, and a globe, (Doc 7). The illustration implied that Louis XIV supported the study of sciences by visiting one of the academies. With assistance from powerful and wealthy monarchs, scientists were…

Have you ever read where they test the products you use everyday? You may be surprised with what you find and may even stop using the product entirely. For the a modern world we live in we should try a new way to test products we use.

Today’ society we go to the store see what we like and…

most important information on what the research itself is about and who did the research. In the article it informs the reader that the most important person leading the research would be listed first and also in footnotes. For research in the non-science field, a lot of times is done by one or two people. In contrast, it is important to take note of who needs…
