In the documentary Super Size Me, narrated and directed by Morgan Spurlock, Mr. Spurlock sets out to see just what effect eating fast food can have on a person’s health. Numerous questions are posed during the film, so it is difficult to determine the exact thesis of the argument. After filtering through all of the information, I determined the main point of the argument to be that McDonald’s knowingly provides unhealthy food to Americans and wants us to eat as much of its food as we can,…

particular topic. When doing your research, you want to choose the method of data collection that will best suit your study. For some, a time series design would be the best method, for others it may be a qualitative collection method. For the purpose of this paper the time series design method will be described and illustrated in its methods of use. Reflection of Time Series Design A time series design is defined as a research method in which the same data is collected over different points…

Primo Levi has a view that humans have a complex relationship with the earth. In his writing he portrays the awareness of humans place on earth. In order to be a scientist, one has to cultivate between predictability (mechanistic philosophy) and the earth being alive (Gaia-hypothesis). Without predictability, one would not have any knowledge on anything; if the world was pure randomness, there would be no meaning to anything and nothing would matter. The Gaia-hypothesis enables us, humans, to…

teacher and students, and the research is conducted without the consultation of current K-12 educators (Diana, 2011). Thus, action research by current teachers is an important practice for K-12 educators to conduct in order to refine their current methods and develop effective techniques for the development of their…

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.…
