Rebuttal to two arguments against GACC Introduction The goal of this assignment is to identify unsubstantiated claims against the existence of global anthropogenic climate change (GACC) and to rebut these claims based on scientific sources. I shared a summary of two distinct arguments against GACC that I have read from different sources. I then formulated a rebuttal against these two claims I found. Synopsis Although the majority of scientists support the idea of anthropogenic climate change…

It has been argued that “the late nineteenth century was a scientific age. Literature could not simply remain the same after Darwin: the rules had changed” (Link 75) and that is what naturalist did. They started to reveal the origin to people’s actions and beliefs, as well as the cause. In The Awakening, Kate Chopin discusses some of the most relevant actions and new beliefs, such as divorce, adultery or woman and feminity. Although the work was quite controversial when she first wrote it, in…

Chapter Nine: Was the Tuskegee Syphilis Study ethical? Are studies in nature ever ethically justified? The Tuskegee Syphilis Study was unethical since scientists did not show any concern for the subject’s livelihood. Overall, scientists put more significance on the scientific experiment versus a human life. In the study, there were 399 syphilis subjects and 201 non-syphilis subjects, mostly consisting of illiterate blacks. Scientists thought illiterate blacks were fit for the study due to…

Explain. In what sense then does Laudan believe that science involves rational progress? Laudan does agree with Kuhn that scientific history precludes one from seeing it as providing theories that ever-more-closely-approximate the truth about nature since paradigm shifts leads to changes in definitions of truth instead of a cumulative progression towards truth. It is difficult to claim science is progressing towards truth because there…

and Ontology The research will be based on the paradigm of scientific realism, according to which the only reliable means of achieving knowledge about the world is scientific research, the result of which is interpreted with the help of scientific theories. This approach will explain the causal relationship between ineffectiveness of rehabilitative justice and possible causes of it. Epistemology in the research is positivism. Crowther-Dowey and Fussey (2013, p.40) claim that ‘in criminology,…

Science, or scientific research, is a collection of data that is recorded and then analyzed to answer a question or prove a theory. Science can be used to explain unknown phenomena or redefine a previous assumption. There are several elements of scientific research. The elements are as follows: public, objective, empirical, systematic, cumulative, predictive, and self-correcting. Together these elements create the guidelines of scientific research. Therefore, using these elements, the…

Dawkins’ ideology regarding the nature of ideas, for example, affects the philosophies of numerous theorists, three of whom are Kuhn, Popper, and Lakatos. Those philosophers provide distinctive theories as to how paradigms arise in science. Despite the differences in their ideologies, however, Kuhn, Popper, and Lakatos all demonstrate Dawkins’ memetic ideas. Kuhn, for example, crafted a systemic, three-step ideology consisting of “pre-science,”…

process.” (“List of Alchemist”). Jabir ibn Haiyan, extracted anesthetic compounds from herbs, used them for general anesthesia during operations or difficult procedures (“List of Alchemist”). Jabir also established the basic concept of an elements system which is now known as the table of elements today. Paracelsus, a 15th century physician and alchemist, created laudanum, which became very popular the end of the 19th century. In the 17th century Johann Rudolf Glauber, discovered sodium sulfate…

Deception and differential distribution of benefits are two major ethical issues in experimental design research. Deception is when subjects are misled about procedures despite “informed consent” and distribution of benefits is how much researchers influence the benefits of treatment subjects receive may not receive; however both issues can be essential in experimental research (Bachman and Schutt, 2014) Deception is generally used in laboratory settings. Deception in research is an ethical…

The book “The Monkey’s Paw” and the play that we went and watched at ISU were same at some points but they were also different at some spots. The book, like all books, went deeper than the play did. In fact, the book was actually more enjoyable for me because I understood it more. I loved watching the play and reading the book, and now i’m going to compare and contrast them. The plot of the story differed in some spots but in most spots it was the same. One of them is when Mrs. White goes…
