Although a network of ways of knowing allows the natural sciences to progress through the scientific method, as shown through Einstein’s experiments with the photoelectric effect, a network is not necessary as physicists can use pure reason to derive formulae such as E=mc2 by using existing formulae. This comparison between progress using networks and a…

In How God Changes your Brain Andrew Newberg and Mark Robert Waldman give some very insightful descriptions of the chemical and emotional changes and processes that are occur in the brain. In this book these changes are explained in detail and the different processes that are involved with growing and maintaining a faith. The concept of faith and religious practice having a strong effect on the brain has often been the topic of debate and conflict within the religious community and secular…

Psychology is a field that can easily lead to serious frustration in its genre conventions. A psychology paper requires strict APA guidelines, formal vocabulary and an intensive line of background information in order to be even considered for a decent publication. The main purpose of Psychology writing is to inform the reader about a new concept, theory or experiment. In order to accomplish such a task, psychologists (mostly those oriented in the academic field) have to become masters at…

In this essay I will be examining two completely different views with supporting and against some of the views on whether suicide is justified or not justified. I will examine the arguments from the readings of Charles Foster “Medical Law: A Very Short Introduction” and from Massimo Pigliucci’s article “The Philosophy of Suicide.” I will also argue that suicide can be justified and I will explain why I think the evidence I’ve collected favors in my opinion. Suicide has been around for many…

Introduction The general topic of this research was about memory and how it correlates to the presence, or absence, of sex and violence in a television show and how much impact the embedded advertising had. Previous research showed that programs with sex and violence attract fewer viewers than other shows which in turn reduces the overall impact of the advertising. Previous research also showed that the viewers of violent shows had impaired memories. The research also suggested that programs…

Accordingly, study 1 represents how students react to certain teaching methods in regards to show if intelligence will increase or stay the same. But in study 2, it only proves motivational patterns “as malleable [it] should cause them to display more positive motivation in the classroom, and in turn to achieve more highly.”…

Vannevar Bush stated that scientific research is absolutely essential to national security, that war requires the most advanced scientific techniques. Bush pushed for colleges, universities, and research institutes to conserve the knowledge from the past and to teach that knowledge to students of the future. These institutes should be strengthened by use of public funds in order to better aid in the development of new scientific knowledge. He realized that the potential of underprivileged men…

Problem Statement, Purpose Statement, Research Question In the study “Effectiveness of end-of-life education among community-dwelling older adults” Matsui (2010) addresses the problem that fewer than “50% of severely or terminally ill patients completed an advance directive” (p. 363) which makes it difficult for health care professionals to identify patients’ wishes in situations where end of life is near. This is a significant problem to nursing, as nurses have a responsibility to inform and…

the existing shared knowledge as a foundational level to build upon, therefore creating a paradigm. Specifically in Natural Sciences, knowers have built a foundation on previous research; this practice has become an intrinsic part of the scientific method. There is no option to ignore the work of others, which suggests that shared knowledge will shape an individuals’ personal knowledge if they wish to develop the area of knowledge and make new discoveries based on the previous knowledge acquired…

a result of the inquiry. It is beneficial to collect as many types of data this can be interviews, surveys or observation. By utilizing several types of methods and looking from different directions, this process is known as triangulating, which creates a balance of the phenomenon (Brighton & Moon, 2007). In the article Action Research: Methods of Collecting Data, by Andrew Johnson, PhD (2012) states that data can be in forms of information, observation, facts that can be…
