only method of research that can truly test hypotheses concerning cause-and-effect relationships. It represents the most valid approach to the solution of education problems, both practical and theoretical, and to the advancement of education as science (Gay, L.R.p.298). 3.10.1. Advantages of Experimental Research Approach • Allows researcher to control the situation. • Permits researchers to identify cause and effect, and to distinguish placebo effects from treatment effects. 3.10.2.…

And so, as the young men return from their treacherous mission- a perilous sennight without modern technology- they come back with not only the wicked tales of their trials, but also a report that is extremely crucial to their mark… Seven days without modern technology; a seemingly simple rule our group had to follow. There were very few exceptions to this rule, such as: using technology for homework, using technology for emergencies(i.e. your house is burning down), and any other situation-…

Bateson, an English anthropologist, once said “Science, like art, religion, commerce, warfare, and even sleep, is based on presuppositions.” In a place and time where many individuals take the word of scientists as law, we must be careful to remember this fact. We cannot assume that because a teacher or scientist or uses the statement “science has proven” that they are unquestionably correct; it is our duty to teach this generation and the next that science is fallible and preserve them from…

PLEASE NOTE: We are referring to technology in a less-general way (or in a modern sense). So when we say we are staying away from technology, we mean: computers phones, music players, TVs, smart watches, etc. NOT: Vehicles(cars, buses etc.), microwaves, lamps, toilets, clocks, etc. TL;DR: When we say technology we mean any digital/modern electronic device. Introduction: Introduction and Background to the Research The topic our group chose was the influence of technology among youth,…

Reading journal articles for my classes, I was fascinated by the challenges and problem-solving process of research in general. Since Cooper Union has limited resources for research as a small engineering college, I was delighted to learn of this opportunity. With such passion in research, I was able to have an independent study course in school with one of the biological engineering professors and researched the DNA synthesis process. As a member of an International Genetically Engineered…

Strain theory has been define in varies ways, Robert K. Merton describes it as social structures/societal goals that are presented to people as what they should strive towards in order to be successful in life, but at the same time society does not provide any effective legitimate means to reach that goals (Merton, 1938, Pg.675). Those who are in the lower brackets of society, and do to the pressure that society puts on the individual it leads to those individual finding other illegitimate means…

the mass of an atom is concentrated into a compact nucleus, which holds all of the positive charge, and that electrons occupy most of the leftover space (Davidson). While Rutherford’s experiment illustrates the vast discoveries which the natural sciences have enabled us, scientific discoveries and updates are essentially never-ending, so there is no way to fully know when a specific conclusion is completely correct. Similar to many other scientific explorations, before Rutherford 's discoveries…

understand is examining the relationship between science and religion. Jeeves and Brown suggest that science and religion interact in two ways, either in warfare against one another or in partnership. Similarly, last semester in physical chemistry class I read a book addressing the nature of the relationship between science and religion. The book, entitled The Flaw in the Universe by Adrian Hough, presented four theories describing the interaction between science and religion. The first theory…

William Golding in his famous novel Lord of the Flies shows the character development and change that the reader witnesses throughout the novel. Golding has witnesses humans at the lowest a person could succumb to in nature; it has left him with this perspective of humans that can’t be easily undone that perspective went into Lord of the Flies. In the novel Golding portrays children from age six to twelve to represent human nature at the fullest in dire situations. The novel has a dark twist in…

Human nature, or essence, is our innate way of being, it is what makes us who we are. It is who we are without the influence of polis, society, or state. It is a presumptions that all philosophers make in order to develop their theories about the creation of society and support their beliefs about what the ideal society would look like. Aristotle believes that in nature man is either a “beast or a god”, because without the polis, they are no better than an animal. He says that at the core, man…
