The chapter “Thinking Scientifically,” from Natalie Angier's book, The Canon, analyzes the advantages of the application of scientific processes in daily life. This is first done through a description of science as a dynamic state of mind, rather than a list of facts to be memorized and regurgitated. In what amounts to a minor attack on the way science is regularly taught, Angier quotes David Stevenson, saying “Many teachers who don't have a deep appreciation of science present it as a set of…

throughout time the same scientific data has been viewed differently by people in various global locations. These differences could very possibly be caused by each person having their own unique observation. Kuhn believes our world view to be all we have, it is how we view the world observe and experience the world but there is no way to discover how close our world view is to reality. Here, Kuhn suggest that each individual being experiences the world differently. His reasoning is as follows:…

Stories are most commonly heard from the white voice so when others voice their opinion, it is taken with less seriousness. Farber and Sherry further support this idea in, Foundations of Critical Race Theory in Education, when they say, “Gender and minority heritage in themselves create a unique perspective or different voice that would persist even in a completely egalitarian society… however, many different voice scholars also argue that traditional academic…

Science: Facts Making Theories or Theories Making Facts? Are scientists using the facts to form the theories of science or are they making theories then hoping that the facts fit the theory? If the facts do not fit, does science pursue the facts and the root of the facts searching for truth or do scientists ignore the facts if they do not fit and instead pursue to prove their theories by other means? Science has always been a field where the inquisitive may go to seek truth and to pursue…

thing and the rest of the world believing another, he is still a topic of debate after 400 years while others do not make it 100 years, and his conspiracy theory started in a very undramatic way. If the facts are examined surrounding Shakespeare’s authorship, there is only one clear answer. There is no need to consider this a conspiracy theory. The only reason it could be considered a conspiracy is if people are still questioning the results that one university discovered in 2016. Shakespeare…

ideas and thoughts, develop and formulate their own ideas, and refine them. Teachers also play a key role in helping students; through instruction and the way they formulate their instructions to students. Literacy is also fundamental in science education because to be literate in science means that students must know how to read and write and be…

While the modern vision of scientific civilization, developed by Sir Francis Bacon in 17th century England, and the ways science is actually practiced in the world today both pursue objective truth, the modern vision and today’s scientific practices differ in their methods of pursuing truth. The modern vision and the ways science is actually practiced today both pursue objective truth in order to benefit humanity. The modern vision of science pursued truth using experience, which differed from…

opinion I think the Daubert Standard is the best for Florida. The best cases are known to thrive from scientific evidence that can be used in court and deemed to be very important in these cases. Most judges and lawyers are not technically trained (education, work experience, or knowledge) of the evidence in a particular field such as Forensic Science. The decision to involve expert witnesses in a case can provide “reliable” information for both the judge and jury. Back in 1923, the Frye…

makes science.” While Consilience and Life is a Miracle converse over the idea of unifying knowledge and the practicality of it, they each have an obvious standpoint on the topic and it is linked to the study of how the universe was created and the theories surrounding creation. E. O. Wilson takes a unique vantage point as a scientist and Wendell Berry does the same from the opposite side, as a writer. Bryson’s Short History of Nearly Everything and our conversations in breakout over the topic…

According to dictionary.com, theory is defined as “a supposition or a system of ideas to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.” One of the things that Dr. Saliba puts emphasis on is that “people are a bunch of ‘spoutas’ who are always doing something that they are not ‘spouta’ be doing, which is why the many different theories are not, and probably will never become laws. This ties in directly to Walter Lippmann’s thesis of of…
