Throughout this week, we read two articles. They are “What is this thing called Science?---Science as knowledge derived from the facts of experience” by Alan Chalmers and “Philosophy of Educational Research-- Quantitative and Qualitative Research: False Dualism” by Richard Pring respectively.

They tend to think that facts are obtained…
In my current job, we all should be in the role of the Theory Y. Our manager does not micromanage us, nor does she want to. We all know the expectations she has for us individually and as a team. With that being said, I can personally see some of my co-workers with the Theory X mentality. For example, we have a weekly team meeting to discuss issues that have come up in the clinics. Many of our team members are very forthcoming with information that they have learned or issues they have found.…
Which question did you feel was the most beneficial? Why?

Detaching myself from the emotional aspects of working with and for the sake of children, I am interested in child health because children are constantly growing and developing. In respects to neuroscience, I am able to see and research neurological diseases and cognitive functions as it applies to a brain that is constantly changing. The adult brain does have some…
“Society teaches boys not to cry or show their feelings, then act surprised when some men act heartless”(Unknown). The videos given for Chapter 3 allowed me to take a deeper look into the mastermind of societies confusing misconception of women and men. The Mazzilli family, Robyn Fivushs research, and the textbook provided me with a plethora of information for understanding the way society treats men and women differently.
