Empirical

sought to spread English culture and religion. However, India did not want nor ask for help from Britain, thus creating tensions that eventually broke out into protests and a brutal war for independence. Social Darwinism engrained an impression of empirical dominance and superiority into the minds of the British, leading them to feel obliged to interfere in India and other struggling countries. Looking back, it seems that Britain only brought more tragedy to India as they watched as millions…

Also, there exist empirical formulas for J in practice according to Berger & Seltzer, which is illustrated as follows J⁄Z=0.015 for Z≤13 (2) J⁄Z=9.76+〖58.5〗^(-0.19) for Z>13 (3) From the equation(1), the SB becomes negative when E〖(dE/dx)〗_core , 〖(dE/dx)〗_valence=〖(dE/dx)〗_Bethe-〖(dE/dx)〗_core…

The idea that reason is the primary and most appropriate source of knowledge is known as rationalism. This theory holds that knowledge should be determined by reason and factual analysis rather than faith, dogma, tradition or religious teachings. It can be clearly defined as a methodology in which the criterion of truth is not sensory but intellectual and deductive. On the opposite end of the spectrum, fideism holds that faith is necessary, and that beliefs may be held without any evidence or…

Seth Moglen’s historical recount of 18th century Moravian slavery in Enslaved in the City on a Hill is not only an overview on the experience of slaves and the hardship they faced, but also a critique of how history is written. Most people have heard of the saying ‘history is written by the victors’, and Moglen provides an epitomical example of this. By exploring the concise memoirs of Andrew and Magdalena – primary sources from the victims of the Moravian slave-trade – Enslaved in the City on…

The debate on nature versus nurture has been a contentious topic in psychology for quite a while. Despite cornucopia studies and researches on this topic, it has not put a stop on if nature is superlative to nurture or vice-versa, or if both of them are equally important when talking about child psychology and development. The main purpose of this text is to provide a reaction to the article The Nurture Assumption Why Children Turn out the Way They Do authored by Judith Rich Harris by using four…

developmental dyslexia, the results of which demonstrate a disrupted brain response of dyslexic children to rapid auditory stimuli (Gabb et al., 2007). Vellutino and his colleagues present a comprehensive review of theories of dyslexia in which many empirical studies related to visual theories have been described and analyzed (Vellutino et al., 2004). Stein and Walsh propose a magnocellular hypothesis that accounts for evidence of irregularity of dyslexia across different modalities (Stein &…

When beginning to research, there is going to be three things that one wants to keep in mind so that they have some organization to their method. We have talked about the data collection process, which is how and can you actually gather the data, the instrument development, which is to put the data into context, and the third process which is going to be discussed in this chapter is the sampling process, which is a representative population on a broader scale. The third process known as the…

establishing the parameters of realism as an international theory. For several decades, classical realist approach dominated literature in international relations, stating that the balance of power creates peaceful structural situations. Years later, the empirical and logical grounds of this approach were challenged through the development of the power transition theory and the writings of A.F.K. Organski, in his textbook, “World Politics” . Related theories, such as international cycles and…

Tuckman 's hypothesis in 1965 was determined by littérature whereas this 1977 review is based on empirical test which makes it rational to amend the model "to reflect recent literature" (Tuckman and Jensen, 1977). Finally, the model consists of 5 stages ;forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Part 2: Theory into practice Reflect…

thereby obstructing a coherent understanding of the theoretical notion as well as empirical research findings. This article addresses the conceptual differences by raising and discussing five central issues: (1) Is fossilization global or local? (2) Is L2 ultimate attainment isomorphic with fossilization? (3) Is fossilization a product or a process? (4) Is stabilization synonymous with fossilization? (5) Should empirical studies of fossilization span five years or more? In…
