Interference theory

society, many people have good educational background however the usage of words sometimes did not match up to an individual’s knowledge. This can be seen using the word theory, especially in evolutionary theory. People usually refer to a theory as a guess and fact as the truth. However, according to the National Academy of Science, a theory is “a plausible or scientifically acceptable, well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an organized system of accepted knowledge…

Gerschick explained that theories are systematic attempts to make sense of a particular event or social phenomena that occurs in a given social setting. Depending on the given theorist, each had an individualistic approach to a particular phenomenon and their purpose was to lay out a way to interpret the facet of that social life (Kivisto). Each theory has a goal and that is to explain, predict and/or to understand the phenomena being explained (Gershcick). In order for a theory to be considered…

“Speculative Wunderkammer,” as Dunne and Raby names it, is a way to convey curiosity, to make the viewer wonder and imagine in a scale larger than an art piece or just a typical product design. For them, the position of the speculative design is always an issue. People generally tend to struggle when it comes to connect or relate themselves with the design they are looking at. However, this time they decided to dig even further. They decided to experiment with an exhibition curated by Michael…

The debate about linking theory to practice and the potential it has to influence mental health demonstrates that without a working understanding and knowledge of social work theories such as Erikson’s stages of development, it is difficult to gain a proper comprehension of a situation. Learning the foundation theoretical part of human development supports the understanding of the bigger picture of not just the “what” and “who”, but most significantly the “why” individuals do what they do. If a…

“Science is not a body of facts. Science is a state of mind” (Angier 490). Both essays, “The Canon” by Natalie Angier and “Scientific Literacy and the Habit of Discourse” by Thomas W. Martin, discuss that science is not a set of facts to be learned, but is best practiced through actions. These two articles approach the topic differently by using different rhetorical modes and styles. Even though the article’s main points have similarities, the essays contain many differences through their…

1.Is there such a thing as truth in research? Expound upon your answer. Give an example. I believe looking at the truth in the aspect of research is often based on the concept of evidence or proof that is collected on the topic as well as the reality of what the dynamics of the subject is. We often build on the topic we investigate on by the information we gather on what we see as truth. The information of truth is usually based around research of examination. In the article "On Truth" it states…

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…

Key Idea I The scientific method is a systematic approach used in scientific study, whether it is chemistry, biology, physics, or other sciences. Scientists uses this organized process to do research, it provides a way for scientist to compare the work of others. There are six steps in the scientific method, these steps are not used as a check list to be done in the same order each time. However, all scientist must describe there ways the most publish there results. Key Idea II A…

In the Thermofisher talk by Jennifer Deluce one of the aspects of her talk that was particularly interesting was the fact that even though Thermofisher is a biotechnological company it also relies on some of business aspects to stay afloat. From an academic perspective competition is always out there and they can take away how much potential revenue you make. According to the presentation Deluce’s stats state that Thermofisher makes 18 billion in revenue which allows them to do all sorts of…

The ethnic barriers in the world of science have always been blurry and hard to determine. Depending on the time, and the popular social ideologies of that time, scientific practices may switch to and fro on the scales of ethicality. Because of these obscure complications, scientists often have a hard time picking their sides on the age-long debate between practically and morality. Some experimental procedures may have deemed acceptable in the past, but are now frowned upon. Although amazing…
