Perception of Science as Inaccessibility Science is often imagined as apathetic scientists methodically mixing different colored liquids in expensive labs with extensive procedures and regulations. Science is the epitome of method, and often held in high regard. Yet with all this regulation much of the public still doubts scientific findings. The debates over the validity of climate change continue, despite the massive amount of verification and confirmation on the subject. The public sometimes…

discuss important points of learning theories pulled from the Elemental and Holistic models and explain in details the significance of those concepts, and examples of teaching theories. To begin, learning theories fall into two major families, the Behaviorist and Cognitive theories. With several years and dissecting the theories, they have been conceptualized in terms of broader models; Elemental and Holistic models. The elemental model, “represents the…

Substance dualism is a philosophical position that claims that two kinds of substances constitute reality: mental substances (for example, minds) and physical substances (for example, tables). Philosophers use the word “substance” to denote a fundamental aspect of reality that cannot be broken down further. In other words, substance dualism claims there are two fundamental aspects of reality that are irreducible. Philosophers have argued for the truth of substance dualism in several ways. One…

In everyday life the Scientific Method can be utilized regularly. Most of the time, people don’t even realize that they are using the steps to the Scientific Method when figuring something simple out. People can move through the steps so quickly it is hard to recognize that many used them while making decisions about regular daily life situations. Kausik Datta wrote “that his wish for every Non-Scientist is to understand the use of the Scientific Method, and how it is the foundation for…

This paper suggests that financial accounting thought is undergoing a revolution. As many scientific theories both describe and prescribe phenomena, so many accounting theories describe and prescribe financial phenomena. New ideas have been proposed and debated and new school of thoughts have been emerged. The priori research has been criticized in 1960 and regarded as having doubtful value. But it has been argued in the paper that priori research has helped in overthrowing existing ideas. If an…

quotes and explanations, and then slowly moved away from Raine’s thoughts and begin to explain the research in general and all of its results. This in depth information of the research and results gives the readers a better understanding of Raine’s theory by providing several examples of research that show a connection between brain patterns in childhood and criminal behavior in adulthood. I believe Fischman used less quotes in the body because his main goal was to get the point across and help…

The purpose of trying to figure out what was inside the black bottle was to understand the basic elements of the scientific inquiry process. We hypothesized that there was a push pin and string inside the unknown bottle—this was based on observations. In order to determine whether our hypothesis was correct or not, we massed out the unknown bottle, an empty bottle, and items that could potentially be inside the bottle. We also put items inside the empty bottle and compared the sound to the…

stimulus around us. Our senses are constantly over stimulated and because they can’t handle it, they in a way alter our reality. Our senses filter out the details that may seem irrelevant, so there is all this data that we don’t take in. Our nervous system tries to simplify everything naturally. It seems that our nature is to try to make things simple rather than accurate, so again there is that trade-off between accuracy and simplicity in…

divisions. Reiss (2015) argues that a theory of evidence should be informative about how to gather evidence and when to be justified in believing a hypothesis on the basis of evidence in non-ideal scenarios as well as ideal ones. He puts forward four desiderata for a theory of evidence. It should: (1) be a theory of support; (2) be a theory of warrant; (3) apply to non-ideal scenarios; and (4) be descriptively adequate. While (1) requires that a theory of evidence explain the role of…
