How does the idea of progress distinguish Science from Non-Science? In the modern world, technology develops so rapidly; more and more technologies have been discovered, which make it possible that many practical applications are being used in the natural world. Due to the success in using application, human science has become the preferred means of collecting, evaluating, and organizing knowledge. This probably explains why science can be used to measure any assumptions or commitments. However,…

major types of research method including quantitative and qualitative (Alasuutari et al. 2008). There has recently an emergence of a new method called mix-method research (Daymon 2011). Based on these mentioned objectives, author will choose quantitative approach for this study. Now there is the justification for this choice. There is a key difference in collecting data between two methods. While quantitative method collects data in the form of numbers, qualitative method uses non-numeric data…

As humanity progresses, it is inevitable that more and more knowledge comes to be accumulated. These knowledge get classified under different umbrella terms according to the elements of our world that they primarily deal with. Depending on which element of Academia they belong to, they naturally involve different manners of approach, understanding and outcomes. It is therefore inadvertent that different areas of knowledge (AOKs) will come to face distinctions between them so as to provide…

The concept of race has historically been flawed at best. This type of human categorization, which draws no basis of biological evidence, has been used for centuries to successfully subjugate large groups of people, paving the way for white supremacists to gain even more emotional, and ergo economic, control over the American working class. Patrick Appel is not the first to delve into the myth of “race”, but he does offer a well-rounded, professionally composed vindication that responds to…

The way in which we have understood the mechanism of embryo growth and development has gradually changed over the course of history with advancements in science and technology. Two theories which were believed in previous time periods were the Hippocratic theories and the theory of ovist preformationism. The Preformation’s and Hippocratic theories were used in the late seventeenth to early eighteenth centuries to explain how organisms develop from embryos as well as how characteristics are…

As a college student in the twenty first century, a century filled with technology and scientific advances, students are constantly learning from material that was written and developed in a different time period. These works that students are studying, whether they have been used for centuries or decades or merely a few years, are quickly losing there relevance as science and technology grow at an exponential rate. In society today, students are encouraged to use skepticism when learning and to…

The reason is because it continues to be a very popular method to attack and cause serious harm to the world.

Finucane and Mercer (2006) conducted a mixed method study to determine if mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) would be an appropriate and beneficial treatment for people who suffer from depression and anxiety. The authors utilized both qualitative and quantitative methods in their research. Thirteen study participants were recruited to take part in an eight week group program designed to address relapsing depression and anxiety through meditation and cognitive therapy (Finucane & Mercer,…

As time passes, there is a tendency to discard what we accept as knowledge in certain areas to reach a new understanding based on newfound experiences or information. However, it is true that in other areas what we consider as accepted knowledge remains identical or very similar to what we initially think, withstanding the altering effects of experiences and information. This development of accepted knowledge through time applies to both the individual and humanity. Personally, I have…

Quantitative Research Article Critique Appraising the research articles is a process involved in providing the best evidence-based practice to provide the best standards of nursing care for the patients (Elliott, 2001, p 555). The nurse must attempt an assessment and critical review of research studies, to check whether the research is valuable and of adequate quality to be connected to their practice (Fink, 2005). The purpose of this paper is to critique a quantitative study, “Effectiveness of…
