For centuries in the Middle Ages there have been little changes to the scientific knowledge, and the Catholic Church had adopted a system of beliefs that is based on the teachings of the Romans which it had successfully incorporated into their religious doctrine. During this period of time only few scientific inquiries and experimentations were conducted. However, the Renaissance shaped the western societies’ doctrinal passivity entirely. In the early modern period, there was a fundamental…

1) Topic 1 – Anticipated ethical and integrity dimensions of your discipline and your planned field of research within it. It is widely accepted that research should be undertaken ethically (Steneck, 2006). Research conducted in an ethical manner ensures the protection of welfare and rights of all participants and upholds an intrinsic sense of the common good (NHMRC, 2007a; Siebar, 1992). Ethical issues exist in any kind of research (Orb, Eisenhauer & Wynaden, 2001). In particular, qualitative…

Reflecting back on the course of Interventions II, the coursework and in-residence portion had given me a better insight in learning how to define my personal and professional identity. The implementation of a “mock” clinical therapy sessions during the in-residence portion had been a challenge in the beginning due to the lack of having any type of background in conducting a therapy session. These therapy sessions provided the needed feedback from the instructor and my peers to gain a better…

What’s the relationship between theories and the world to which theories meant to apply? Are there ultimate truth which can be obtained through a series of scientific validation and falsification? Is critical relativism appropriate for scientific research (marketing or consumer research in particular)? Those are some critical questions raised by this week’s readings that centered on the topic of rationality and relativism. Several authors provide different insights on answering those above…

not easily changed. Yet, we must consider application in this situation. Unless a group of anti-abortion individuals feel very strongly about the subject and could be considered activists, it is unlikely that their knowledge will be applied through methods such as political demonstrations or legislation. In this case, I believe both groups ought to critically consider each other’s points of view, how both gained these points of view, and the value of the knowledge both perspectives hold.…

This study was conducted in Selale, one of the 18 zones of the Oromia regional state in Ethiopia. The research site is located between 37 and 100km Northwest of Addis Ababa. It has a high potential for rain-fed cereal and livestock production. The main food crops are barley, wheat, teff, beans and peas. Livestock is considered to be the main asset of the farming community. There are two cropping seasons in a year. The major cropping season is characterized by relatively high rainfall, starting…

Since the self-report method requires questionnaires and surveys, it may be difficult for those who do decide to partake in alcohol to provide accurate and helpful responses. There are, however, some ethical issues involved in the study. Since the legal drinking age is 21, putting…

A question is never answered completely. At a time when an answer may seem correct science is used to show error and continuously answer that question. This process is known as the scientific method. A similar method is used to answer new questions that were brought up in the 1660s to 1850s. The 1660s-1780s was a time of questions and discoveries known as the Enlightenment. Government, science, and religion were often questioned. The new discoveries at the time became the building blocks for…

learn science. All the articles are reviewed by an adult, and then reviewed by a child aged 8-15 before being published onto the site. By having the children review the articles the adult reviewers can see if the children understand the scientific method, and it also allows the children to ask whether the author had a hypothesis and directed an experiment that allowed them to test the hypothesis with a yes or no answer. The ultimate goal is for kids in grades 3-8 to learn science, to get them…
