The goal of this paper is to present a map of the argument in the article “Dude” by Scott F. Kiesling. This argument mapping will do the following things. First, it will present what I believe are the main claims of the article. While doing this I will also explain any important terms or concepts needed to understand the Kiesling’s argument. I will then link the claims to the kinds of evidence that Kiesling uses in order to support them. Finally, I will close my argument mapping with an overview…

A tautology is a priori truth (Ayer 46). This means a tautological statement is before present sense experience and an analytical statement. The second undisputable proposition is an empirical hypothesis, which is a rule for the anticipated experience (Ayer 41) This claim is based on personal experience and if tested, would be correct. In regard to the existence of God and the afterlife, Ayer continues to emphasize the criterion of verifiability…

Introduction Corruption is a phenomenon that has received and continues to receive a generous amount of attention from researchers and theorists alike in the Political world.

This paper addresses four of those themes namely; Qualitative (de Graaf and Hubarts, Urinboyev and Svensson and Jos ) versus Quantitative Research (Kilkon Ko and Ananya Samajdar, Lalountas et al…

According to Walker and Avant (2005), empirical referents are “Classes or categories of actual phenomena that by their existence or presence demonstrate the occurrence of the concept itself,” and “in many cases the defining attributes and the empirical referents will be identical” (p.168). For the purposes of this concept analysis, the defining attributes and empirical referents are identical. Thus, the empirical referents are the previously discussed attributes of 1) Belief…

‘knowing-why’ is virtually identical to both his and Brenner’s concept of ‘knowing that’. In like manner, Barbara Carper (1997), develops a similar typology that she denotes as empirical. Carper’s (1997) description of her empirical concept closely aligns to the ‘knowing-that’ components of Rolfe and Brenner’s. Her empirical model consists of retention of facts, descriptors, and exemplars just as one might describe many of the academic learning outcomes of the novice nurse (Carper, 1997). An…

Finally, the tone in an empirical research paper needs to be professional and convincing, as psychologists are trying to get their papers submitted. In order to do so, it is necessary to not only appear knowledgeable of the field but also be straight to the point into what the…

Johnny’s death sentence is cruel and unusual punishment, and wants a new ruling which helps establish Johnny’s class of people an exemption from the death penalty. Utilizing Atkins as precedent, there is a need for empirical evidence in order to support Johnny’s claim. Atkins utilized empirical evidence pertaining to: the number of states whose laws permit such individuals to be executed, the trend of the issue, poll data of the issue, and the amount of actual executions for this class of…

be solved by moral empirical facts based upon what we as humans might find inherently and objectively true in regard to human well-being. He purposes the scenario of corporal punishment in American Schools – asking if it is a good idea to subject children to beatings to improve their performance. Of course, the immediate gut reaction – the moral intuitive response – is to say no. However, by forming the idea that morality can be based in science, can find meaning in an empirical fact – Harris is…
