Metaphysics is concerned with explaining the fundamental nature of being and the world. Cosmology and ontology are the two traditional branches of metaphysics. Cosmology seeks to understand the origin, evolution, structure, and ultimate fate of the universe at large, as well as the natural laws that keep it in order. Ontology is the investigation into what types of things there are in the world and what relations these things bear to one another. Ontology deals with questions concerning what…

There are many research approaches available in psychology. Experimental and correlational research designs are just two of the various approaches taken into consideration for researchers. Each approach is useful and practical when applied to the appropriate situation. Though the approaches are used in different scenarios and are different in definition, they also share some similarities. Experimental research design focus is towards testing hypotheses, cause and effect relationships, and…

those who used to believe that the earth was flat. It almost seems understandable that before the first voyages around the world that the belief of the earth being flat was plausible because if you do not know the solid facts then what information or theories that are provided are the only form of knowledge on that subject and those are the choices to choose from. It maybe an educated guess but it is just that, a guess. Circumnavigation was a huge accomplishment for it's time since boats were…

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-…

In the “Meno”, Socrates is given a logical dilemma in the form of Meno’s Paradox that questions our ability as humans to learn anything at all. There have been many ways people have answered this dilemma. Socrates answers this dilemma through his Theory of Recollection. This may not be the best way to answer Meno’s Paradox and there might be a better way to answer it. We always have partial knowledge on the subject at hand and when we learn we are merely building upon that already learned…

When the program was implemented, I believe it went well. This is because the clients expressed that they enjoyed the program and when they were asked what they learned, they understood everything that was taught and explained to them. When I analysed the program at a later date however, I did notice that there were some aspects that could have been modified in all aspects of the program. This includes how the Engagement activity, skill building activity, cool down and action plan were…

(Page 72). In contrast, Sigmund Freud believes that dreams are obviously basic while others are symbolic. A theory known as Random activation theory, or RAT, is based on the idea that the brain has serious work to do at night, especially during REM sleep. It is here that the brain accumulates information and projects that information as dreams. These separate ideas enhance Gottschall’s theory that one universal explanation does not exist. This can be seen throughout the various cultures around…

Universe by Adrian Hough, presented four theories describing the interaction between science and religion. The first theory suggested the notion of independence between science and religion. Hough says, “According to this understanding, science and religion are two totally separate disciplines and they deal with totally separate items and issues” (p34 of FITU). The second theory implied that science and religion were in conflict with each other. The third theory explained an integration of…

There are multiple concepts throughout our text that I learned of that were interesting. I believe that the concepts of the benefits and disadvantages of being diagnosed with a disorder, psychological treatments, and the scientific method was however the interesting subjects that applied to me. Throughout the course I was able to relate to these and understand them, and they are something I believe I will find useful in a future setting. These concepts also help me understand certain situations…

defining who should receive moral status has continually plagued philosophers, theologians, and scientists.
