Culture theory

regulation and professional due care. I am confident that the knowledge that I learned in the ECE program will be good instrument to succeed in my dream profession, the teacher for small children. My lack of knowledges about child development, Canadian culture and the school environment are now definitely minimized dramatically. In these two years, I learned more about children safety and learning environment. How to create a home like environment in school, how to make appropriate curriculum…

justified truth. Throughout this semester I was introduced to each of the different theories of epistemology and how they apply to different people’s lives. Epistemology involves a numerous amount of theories, but four of the theories in particular caught my attention. The four theories that I was able to directly and indirectly analyze were: the correspondence theory, nihilism, empiricism, and relativism. Each of these theories differ in many ways but, all have a solid explanation as to why…

Despite the ephemeral nature of education theory and teacher training, one aspect of theory and training that remains constant is a focus on developing as a reflective practitioner (Loughran, 2002). This may in part be due to the belief that reflection and learning are intrinsically linked. Boud et al. (1985) summarise this link and write that “reflection is an important human activity in which people recapture their experience, think about it, mull it over and evaluate it. It is this working…

1970s, art was only placed on the realm of a sole individual which meant that if we saw a piece of art than that work of art would be attributed to a single individual. However, sociologists have now begun to study art in a sociological approach; theories have developed the idea that art is a social cultural production. The conceptualization of art can be simmered down to…

The theory that captures my interest is the sociocultural theory. The sociocultural theory relates to everything encountered in life on the daily. It affects every human being that is developing and will someday contribute to society. Sociocultural theory has many hot topics, some of which include breastfeeding, parenting styles, media violence, and individuals varying cultural beliefs that affect them. Sociocultural theory relates to just about every job, including my personal choice of a…

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 the world where each believe dreams vary in meaning or source. For example, some cultures believe…

Optimistically, they are the experts and masters of their fields, but we should never fully trust in scientific theories to be fact. Over the past hundred years, we have come to know that many studies that were seen as reputable and unwavering are now debunked. With this realization in mind going forward consumers of scientific studies should be wary of being initially accepting of theories. Keeping in mind that reputable institutes screen their scientists and hold them to high scrutiny, we…

The tools of science are not the apparati with which science is executed, such as scales and telescopes, nor the theories science generates to explain things, though both are useful instruments in their own right. I refer instead to the habitual processes which science relies upon. The most prominent tool is the scientific method which serves to direct one 's inquiry…

A Theory is defined as “A series of interrelated propositions that attempts to describe, explain predict, and intimately control some class of events. A theory gains explanatory power from inherent logical consistency and is tested by how well it describes and predicts reality (Pearson. 2015). The integrated theory attempts to pinpoint the elements that work with one another to maintain individual customs, and practices. This theory is known as the “integrative theory”, because it takes from…

597/Winter 2015 Throughout this program we have learned about differing theoretical models and how counselors can use these approaches when counseling students. The counseling theories that I have gravitated toward during counseling are the Person-Centered and Solution-Focused theories. The Person-Centered Theory, a theory that was explained and established by Carl R. Rogers, stresses the client’s capability and responsibility to come up with ways to more precisely recognize and cope…
