society that has been in existence for that long of a time, and releasing the changes that were made, how they were made, and most importantly why they were made is paramount. In the article “Activity Theory, an introduction for the Writing classroom” Kain and Wardle give us an Idea of an activity theory which “gives us a helpful lens for understanding how people in different communities carry out their activities”.…

Introduction The 15th – 18th centuries CE were a period of great change in Europe in particular after a millennium of relative stagnation. Scientific advancements, cultural enlightenment and socio-economic developments combined to create new artistic opportunities and to influence the thinking and directions of artists. In this essay I will initially provide a brief overview of scientific advancements during this time, and then relate these and the overall societal context to artistic…

In various instances, science agrees with some religious claims. A scientific theory may not necessarily be built upon religious premises, but it may have religious implications. The philosophical arguments about whether God exists or not mediate the relationship between religion and science. To some extent, scientists have to acknowledge…

and mythologies may be part of God’s general revelation. I think it is a common view among Christians that God created an innate moral code within us. How powerful would it be if cognitive science of religion found experimental evidence for such a theory? Instead of harming Christianity, discoveries like these would strengthen the core foundation of the Christian faith. What if cognitive science of religion was able to scientifically support the idea that all people have an inborn nature to be…

I thought that this was the second one that could be beneficial, along with the end-to-end integrated model. Hagan 's theory explained, “In households where the mother and father have relatively similar levels of power (i.e., balanced households), mothers will less likely to exert control on their daughters (Tibbetts, 2012). In today 's world, I feel as though there is…

Animal Experimentation Many people say that animal experimentation is a cruel thing to do. They disagree on the fact that animals are tested yet others think that it should be legal even if it is harsh for many reasons. I say animal experimentation should stay legal and it’s a sacrifice that we have to make. Over the years, many types of medicines have come out. From Viagra to Tylenol, all these medicines might not be here today if it wasn’t for animal experimentation. Yes most of the time…

Science has revolutionized our world with unimaginable advancements in technology. From the brilliant minds of William Whewell (who coined the English word “science”) to the modern day scientist like Stephen William Hawking (who contributed to the vast amount of today’s knowledge on cosmology and quantum gravity). Furthermore, science has become so advanced in this day-in-age that it has been split apart into different sections that each cover a broad range of technological information,…

different and similar. A historical explanation is an account of an event or events in history and it can reveal when the event takes place, how it takes place and the events that prompted that particular event to take place. A scientific explanation is a theory that reveals the reason why phenomena occur in the natural world. Although historical and scientific explanations are acquired through different means, knowledge in History and Natural Science is discovered and scientists and historians…

Prior to conducting this experiment, my hypothesis was that I was going to offend all of the people involved, so I prepared myself mentally for the backlash and negative feedback. Surprisingly, there was a range of emotions and reactions to me breaking this folkway. Emotions ranged from being completely offended and disgusted to finding it hysterical. The reactions from the people fluctuate from being angry and notifying the manager to asking me to join them for dinner. The experiment was…

The debate between E.H. Carr and G.R. Elton signifies the conflict between the “Old School” of historical studies and the Revisionist model. Carr proposes that there exists within historical studies the need for interpretation, and that there is no such thing as a universalized “truth” or “fact”. This is evocative of the Postmodernist phenomenon to critique and rethink approaches to history, which I will discuss later in this paper. Elton, on the other hand, emphasizes the universal “truth”…
