Scientific literature

There are two main types of sources used in scientific literature. These are primary and secondary sources. A primary source can be defined as original content. It is information that has been obtained via original research, experimentation, thoughts and observations. Usually a primary piece of literature is written in first person. In contrast, a secondary piece of literature is one that examines a primary source (1). A review article would be an example of a secondary piece of literature because it is not a compilation of original ideas, but rather a response/ analysis of a primary source. In contrast, a letter (communications) would be an example of a primary source because a letter can be classified as new raw data and original thought.…

Being a first-year college student, you are introduced to the idea of critical thinking early in order to gain intellectual knowledge for creating your own structure of writing. Not only is critical thinking an essential learning process, a student’s ability to understand a comparison of sources is especially imperative for a college education due to a variety of reasons. A rhetorical analysis not only explores the content of a given source, but it also refers to what the author is trying to…

When reading a scientific article, there are many things that one should understand. While scientific articles might not always be easy to comprehend, they provide data and evidence based on what the study set out to find. They use different tests and methods to prove whether their hypothesis is correct or not. They are written around a study and are formatted in APA format. Lay articles on the other hand are a brief summary of a study. It reports the findings but does not have any evidence into…

The poem depicts an explicit view on the purpose of literature today, as we generation Z and future generations are straying away from the meanings of literature to a more scientific understanding.The scientific community and the Language arts community are at a conflict together as one community seeks only the answers while the other takes the individual, and guides them on a journey that will bring them to the depths of critical thinking. This is implied in the poem when the author…

People need to know many writing styles because they will be used at some point in time and it is important to be prepared for anything. I feel that my writing has improved after many years of different teachers requiring different writing styles in their class. My knowledge of writing and different writing styles has grown significantly throughout high school which is helpful for both in and outside the classroom. Learning how to write formal labs and interpretive papers on literature has…

Reading might seem as if it’s a waste of time, but literature gets you to experience a variety of emotions and events that would probably take years or never to experience. Literature improves the understanding another person’s perspective, which is the best way to build empathy. It also helps expand the way a person sees the world and conception in vocabulary. The more a person reads, especially from different types of genres and authors, the more ways a person has of looking at the world…

Introduction Throughout the twentieth century and beyond there has been a clear correlation between literary theory and scientific philosophical enquiry. Both have become intrinsically linked with each other, with this direct and complicated relationship being most evident in the field of poetry and poetic theory. Within this field there has been a continued but arguably fractured questioning of this enduring relationship. I propose that there have been within the modern age two main lines of…

movements in response to Romanticism. Realism, aimed to present works of literature by through the precise use of factual details of life, by representing “events and social conditions as they actually are, without idealization” (Scheidenhelm). While the latter movement illustrated its stories in terms of “scientific principles of objectivity and detachment to its study of human beings” which focused on the characters’ struggles in their environments, their passions, instincts, and motivation…

Bergson’s key philosophical thoughts and how they influenced modernist literature. Bergson maintained that in animals, evolution caused a division between the instinct and the intellect. Although the two are not exclusive of each other, the faculty of intellect is developed more in man while instinct is seen at its best in ants and bees. Intellect is that which reflects upon matter and sees it as discontinuous. For Bergson, human intellect tends to explain everything in a…
