Mead was not reflexive because she did not reveal her methodology to the scholarly community. As a result, “when Mead arrived in Samoa for her initial fieldwork she had identified a problem for investigation, but had not settled on a specific method. Mead stated afterwards that the methods she used in Samoa were unconscious innovations” (Kincheloe 1980, 21). As an anthropologist, revealing one’s methodology plays a vital role in reflexivity. According to Ruby, “Science is reflexive in the sense…

punishment, which has had little success in deterring inappropriate behaviors (Milne & Aurini 2015). This approach is in line with the critically reflexive ideologies that we have discussed in this course, as turns the lens on the root of student behavior, targeting its origin rather than it’s output (Ryan & Rudy 2015). Ann Cunliffe, describes being a critically reflexive individual by outlining the importance of reflecting on the motivation for our actions and the assumptions that we make…

Tyler Robertson Social Development in Infancy: Roles of Temperament and Attachment Temperament represents a set of inherent qualities of an individual that affect the organization of his or her behavior. Most experts agree that temperament has a biological basis justified by factors such as genetic influences, but they disagree on temperament’s strict definition or what are its basic dimensions. However, one of the most prominent methods for measuring temperament based on Mary Rothbart’s three…

In the article “Aesthetic of Astonishment: Early Film and the (In)Credulous Spectator”, Tom Gunning argues that the first people who watched Lumiere’s Arrival of a Train at the Station were not in shock because they believed that the train was real, they were astonished by the illusion they witnessed before them on the screen. In contrary to the myth that people feared that they were going to be killed by a train, Gunning stresses that the Audiences’ astonishment was derived “from a magical…

V. For years drugs have been categorized as a poor personal decision, if the addiction persists then it is only because the person the person chooses to. But it’s just the brain defect - An addict should be able to make the decision to quit just as they made the decision to start taking the drugs. - Since a person chooses not to quit then the consequence of jail is deserved. Jail, Drug Court, or Rehab is the three most likely options. VI. Advances in neuroscience today…

institution or textbooks approved for study, present uniformity and cohesiveness. Furthermore, Josephsen pointed out, “If graduating nurses are presented with a cohesive and comprehensive curriculum that meets the need for competent and critically reflexive nurses, the discipline of nursing can continue to expand in function and voice” (Josephsen, 2014). Such cohesiveness necessitates that uniformity of education exist in all aspects of classroom and clinical settings. Dr. Carrie Lenburg…

Moreover, Aristotle’s use of division actually allows the reader to see the similarities between the two ideas, justice and friendship. Both are defined by smaller, more refined categories, which are organized hierarchically themselves, many of these individual categories mirroring one another. This mirroring is particularly evident in the transactional and reciprocal nature of friendship: “[i]n all friendships between dissimilars it is, as we have said, proportion that equalizes the parties and…

The notion of free will is what makes us human. What separates humans from animals and in the case of Americans free will is what defines our country. Staring in the face of determinism people cling desperately to the belief that they hold the power over their own destiny and the choices they make are unique and spontaneous. Michael Gazzinga abandons free will in his book Who’s In Charge: Free Will and the Science of the Brain. As the title suggests he uses science to discuss neurological…

various sources creating a multifaceted view on the subject. With particular reference to Pierre Bourdieu’s theories of social capital (Fensham, 2002) and the work of artist Grayson Perry (“Grayson Perry”, 2014), I will attempt to make an informed and reflexive analysis of what ‘legitimate’ art is, why and if it really exists at all. In conjunction with this, I will use the long debated art and craft dichotomy in relation to my own praxis as an example in an attempt to shed light on this subject…
