Observations about people around you are made each and every day and whether the observations are intentional or not, the findings of this data help to show and interpret the general personality of that person. We are unconsciously observing as we are performing actions, having conversations and living our daily lives but yet we are different from ones whose profession is to constantly observed humanistic behaviors and analyze why these behaviors are occurring. While an everyday human might…

For this past week, I was able to take in what I observed and explain it through an ethnographic method. These observations opened my eyes through Sociology and gave me a better sociological perspective on our world today. Before this course, I always had that beginner’s mind in the way I saw society. As I made the effort to get a closer look, I was astonished on the outlook of our world today. This first conversation that I observed, I was not able to see who the two individuals were until I…

Hospitals, often times when people ponder being in a hospital, visiting a hospital, or even when watching movies or television shows that involve hospitals, most people would agree that for the majority of the time, they aren’t in an enjoyable, blissful place. Unless, of course, referring to the exception of welcoming a baby into this world, however, even the arrival of babies bring some hospital rooms’ sadness and heartache. My job requires me to stand as the observer, the staff member that…

For our observation, we decided to examine the organization and social structures of the University of West Florida Commons area. We made the prediction that the organization in the building would be very relaxed.

For our observation, we split the commons into three main areas and assigned two people to each area. This way…

The participants of these observations interacted differently based on what kind of play they engaged in and their age showcased the difference in play in which the participants became…

Galileo and Socrates both offer various methods of arriving at conclusions within their philosophies and studies, each articulating specific information to their followers as they advocate through either science or philosophy. Within the Republic, Socrates offers his stance on justice and its placement within a city run by philosophers through reasoning. However, within the Sidereal Messenger, Galileo offers his account of information through the scientific method, a method that uses facts to…

Carnap refers to scientific facts as a singular statement that needs to be differentiated from universal laws due to the common misconception. Carnap argues that many people confuse laws with facts and use the term in the wrong sense. An example from Carnap’s writing is the statement that “all ice is cold” this would be considered a universal law because it suggests that any piece of ice at…
