Gregory Bateson, an English anthropologist, once said “Science, like art, religion, commerce, warfare, and even sleep, is based on presuppositions.” In a place and time where many individuals take the word of scientists as law, we must be careful to remember this fact. We cannot assume that because a teacher or scientist or uses the statement “science has proven” that they are unquestionably correct; it is our duty to teach this generation and the next that science is fallible and preserve…

The Monistic Nature of Fear Fear is an emotion experienced in most all living creatures; this emotion is experienced precisely because it is a survival mechanism developed to protect an individual during dangerous or uncomfortable situations, combining physical and psychological aspects together in the uniformity of monism. Comparing studies between one concerning a lessened neurological processing of pain in fearful subjects that are administered light shocks and a separate study concerning…

A genotype is known as the complete genetic makeup of a given organism. Consequently, a genotype is the one responsible for the phenotype of an individual. In eukaryotes, a single genotype is capable of expressing more than one phenotype (observable characteristics). This possibility is because genes can go through lots of differentiation processes like mutation, changes in gene expression and frequency. So, mutations play a significant role in variation. For example, DNA can be affected by the…

This essay will discuss how the behaviourism theory can explain human behaviour.

Psychology has evolved greatly since its philosophical roots and was first founded by Wilhelm Wundt in 1879. Psychological experimentation originally began in 700 BC in Ancient Egypt, when Pstamik I who was fascinated with language ordered children into the wild to see how their language skills would develop as, in spite of this psychology had not yet emerged as a separate discipline. Years later, in the 17th century, Rene Descartes introduced the theory of Cartesian dualism, suggesting the…

Schools of Thought: Behaviorism vs. Humanistic Psychology One of the most influential schools of thought is behaviorism founded by two psychologists by the name of John B Watson and B.F. Skinner (Meyers & DeWall, 2014 ). Behaviorism rejected introspection, the study of inner mental processes, and viewed psychology as an objective science (Meyers & DeWall, 2014 ). It discussed how theories need to be supported by data and obtained by careful measurements and observations (McLeod, 2007).…

al-Ghazali uses many examples to demonstrate his argument that what is habitually perceived as a cause and effect is not necessarily so. (Incoherence, 166) He claims that anything observable in nature as being either a cause or effect is only due to the decree of God, Who could separate them and make their relationship unnecessary but simply exist side by side. (Incoherence, 166) The example he uses is fire, which he argues does not…
