How does looking at information in new ways pave the way for progress? You can look from a broad perspective. You can also look in great detail. Looking at information in different perspectives can pave the way for progress. Looking at information in new ways can pave the way for progress by using new scientific discoveries, different ideas, and learning from the scientists in the past. First we can see information in new ways by using scientific discovery. Marie Curie discovered two new…

Logos, What the World Needs More of Science is based in logos. Research and experiments are attempts to establish facts, and to draw correct conclusions based on those facts. While all of science is based on this, I am a personal trainer, so I’m most familiar with the health sciences and research. When discussing health, it would seem obvious that it should be a factual process. If I do A, B will happen. However, since health involves behavior, hence psychology, it is never that straightforward…

There are three different types of longitudinal research designs and Brunton-Smith (2011) utilized a panel longitudinal research design.

Capacity to Give Informed Consent in Research and Evaluation with Individuals with Dementia Informed consent is arguably the cornerstone of ethical social science research and evaluation. Before an institutional review board-approved (IRB) project can begin, researchers and evaluators are required to openly communicate with potential subjects about the benefits and possible risks of their participation and to establish their voluntary willingness to participate.1 When a proposed project involves…

Institutional Review Boards (IRB) are set in place to help regulate anthropological research as a way to protect the cultures and lives of the people that are the subjects. The intentions of these boards are set in place for a great reason. The issue lies in how the IRB’s have the ability to inhibit in depth research or even renders research already completed to be completely useless if it is deemed unethical or unauthorized. Institutional Review Boards often impede on the freedom of…

What stood out to me the most from Chapter seven of the readings is that from the start Cormier et al. (2008) and her colleagues state that there has been “little research on the effects of interview procedures, has been conducted”. (p. 231) After reading this introduction of the chapter, I was drawn to Inner Circle strategy illustration on p. 233; I could see the benefits of using this method in a counseling session, but not in an academic setting. From my experience of interview sessions with…

I. Jurisdiction The first step to any successful research plan is to determine in which jurisdiction the legal issue arises. Once I know the jurisdiction, I know which laws apply to the legal problem at issue. This means I must determine if the problem involves a federal issue or a state issue. If the legal problem involves a federal issue, then I must use federal laws and cases from federal courts to resolve the issue. Conversely, if the problem involves a state issue, then I must determine in…
