Religion, Reality, or Science Science and religion are two different aspects of life. They both have their optimistic values and teachings, and I am stuck in the middle. There are so many extensive and adequate theories that lead me to question my own beliefs and theological virtues. Based on history and facts, it seems like the two have been in conflict ever since the very beginning. Religion is a matter of faith and science is all about rationality and finding proof, and at times one outweighs…

is true or not. I decided on this project after my mom took a microbiology class and became obsessive with germs and bacteria. She is constantly telling me to wash my hands and not to eat food that has fallen on the floor. I want to see if my mom’s theory is accurate. During this background research paper, I will cover past similar research experiments, as well as explain the concept of my project and why the results are important in everyday life. You are about to eat a piece of candy that…

Clive Bell’s theory of art is a formalist view, appreciating art for its visual aspects and disregarding any context behind the piece. His goal was to find the common trait among all works of art. He believes that for something to be considered art, it has to have specific necessary and sufficient features. It is necessary that the piece has significant form in order for it to be art. Significant form provides us with an aesthetic emotion, which is only brought on by visual art.…

Theories are constantly developing. The “Strain theory emphasizes predominance of crime among lower class and minority populations because they are the most deprived of legitimate opportunities” (Williams, 2013, Ch. 6, Slide 5). In the 1930’s, Robert K. Merton developed the first trace of the strain theory. Merton based his general thoughts and ideas off of Durkheim’s original idea of the theoretical framework of the anomie (Tibbets S. & Hemmens C., 2015, p. 222). The general idea of the strain…

The website about finding a new, “correct” value for pi falls into pseudoscience. The author, Mohammad-Reza Mehdinia, commits the logical fallacy of availability bias, which doubles as skipping an important aspect of science. This feature is considering previous experiments, data, or works and sifting through why they do not match with the new information. Mehdinia writes on his site that he does not include or consider the previous works involving pi in his research and calculations. While…

Apprehending scientific theories is complex enough. Understanding neuroscience even more so. Have no fear, Michio Kaku is here to pose this fascinating look at humanities journey to interpret, enhance, and empower the mind. As Kaku advises, the two greatest mysteries of nature are the universe and the mind. We (humans) have the capability to accomplish improbable feats of scientific ability nevertheless, these two mysteries, the universe, and the mind, perpetually elude and tantalize us. We…

People around the world have certain ideas that seems to be so obvious that they defend them in any possible way, sometimes without doubting and testing. Sociologists always question the ideas and conduct a scientific study to make sure that information is accurate. They are not trying to find out what is wrong and what is right, but are looking for the reasons why people act in a specific way. Just like we have learned from the chapter, sociologists do not ask ethical or moral questions and do…

The most significant reason why a clinical mental health counselor uses theory, is to support and shape the foundation of who there are and what they believe in (Levitt et al., 2014).Theory, allows counselors you utilize this as a method to incorporate to assessment and plan of care of the client, through evidence based practice. In addition, theoretical orientation also aids into building a level of integrity with clients and counselors as well, by clarifying in specific areas through other aid…

Christopher Delgado’s essay, “The Culture of Denial,” (2015), claims that mistrust in the scientific world is due to people’s beliefs, their ignorance and their personal agendas. Delgado demonstrates this with scientist discoveries, statistics, and explanations of people distrust in scientist conclusions, their religious beliefs and businesses apparent agendas. Delgado examines the mistrust, ignorance and the personal agendas of society in order to inform this culture to educate themselves and…
