A Critical Theory should be explanatory because it has to provide a certain description about what is wrong with the current social reality the individual encounters. This is where the practical feature necessity is pointed out: in order for an individual to make a change regarding the social reality, the theory needs to indicate the actors that are able to change it. But no change can take place if there is no normative basis for it. This means that the theory should provide clear norms for criticism as well as the goals for a social transformation. One criteria without the other will lead to a non-critical…

I do agree with the Norwegian and Japanese position on permitting the hunting of non-endangered species of whales as a cultural exemption. Many countries were founded on whaling including the United States. Whales provided a large resource of food, fuel and luxuries such as perfume. It is still a part of the United States ' culture as there are Native American tribes who still hunt to this day as part of their culture. If you take a moral stance against non-endangered whale hunting then you…

It appears like Japan does not really care about the global ban on whales. It has been reported that Japan will continue their hunting of whales after a 365 day drought. Japan seems convinced about the idea that whales don't deserve to live. It has been announced that Japan will only do it, however, on a limited level and it will not be a full on whale killing spree. SO MANY DISAGREE WITH JAPAN KILLING WHALES There are many environmental groups and various governments that completely…

The debate to be evaluated at hand is one that included two renown figures who are well respected in their fields of study. Involved in this meticulous debate was the mechanical engineer and science educator Dr. Bill Nye, along with Christian fundamentalist and young earth creationist Dr. Ken Ham. Dr. Ham believes that creation is a viable model of origins in today’s modern scientific era. Young earth creationist and professor of Biomimetic and Engineering at University of Bristol Stuart Burgess…

whaling is sustainable. Whales can be thought of as a natural resource, similar to fish and wild game stocks. A country has the right to exploit the natural resources within their borders for any purpose they see fit, with an exemption for exploitation that would endanger another sovereign nation’s natural resources (UN, 1962). Any international attempts made to ban whaling that doesn’t endanger the natural resources of another country is therefore a violation of the sovereign rights of any…

Sociological Research Methods According to the Sociology textbook- “A Brief Introduction,” all sociologists should first review their material in order to better develop an understanding of the material that they are studying. This is an intelligent way to structure their research so that each of them can understand the depth of what they are studying, the same way that a college student would study for an exam. All sociologists should review certain material, such as statistics or possible…

As a research assistant in the Connecting Leadership Education & Research (CLEAR) Outcomes Research program in the Department of Nursing at the University of Alberta, I was introduced to leadership sciences in health services, looking at the impact of specific leadership practices on outcomes for the health system, the healthcare workforce and for patients. As a member of the research team, I was directly involved in the entire research process, and this opportunity enabled me to gain knowledge…

There are six ethical issues when working with social research which include informed consent, deception, privacy, physical or mental distress, problems in sponsored research, scientific misconduct or fraud and scientific advocacy (Monette et al.,2011). The participants knew that this study or program was made available to them and gave permission to researchers for participation, no names or payments were given. In this research, some would say that the families referred by CPS could be…
