Scientific management

After reading Reuss-Ianni’s chapter 3, I decided to investigate the effects of neighborhood context and police aggressiveness. To support this argument, I plan to use textbook along with a peer-reviewed article. I am also interested in learning more about the code of silence covered briefly in Burns (2013), chapter 3 and to accomplish this, I will be doing an internet-based research on how the code of silence diminishes police integrity. Topic #1 Neighborhood Context Effects and Police…

The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field.” This statement is very accurate when you look at some of the research findings that have been concluded incorrect after publication. Goldstein discusses theory laden as a problem when identifying something as a fact or not because all facts…

The Anxiety and Uncertainty Management Theory is an important theory to keep in mind when considering intercultural communication, especially when one finds themself in a totally new and different place than what they are used to. I spent a summer going to school in Buenos Aires, Argentina and in this place, I went through many of the reactions mentioned in the discussion of the Anxiety and Uncertainty Theory. In consideration of my time there, I thought it appropriate to apply this theory to my…

This semester I had the opportunity to participate in a third grade classroom over at York Country Day School. The lessons I observed were based off of the new FOSS Module that my teacher was piloting. It was a unique learning experience because it was her first time teaching the material. I felt that we were able to learn and grow from one another as we reflected on components of the lessons. The activities were hands-on and put students in charge of their own learning which is the heart of…

I was very intrigued by Cormack's ideas on Ideology. He was able to take a complex and philosophical question and break it down to analyze and deliver a definition. His ideas shed light on many other realizations of our society and how individuals are shaped by it. One of Cormack's claims is that self image is socially derived. He explains that in our early years we are exposed to environments and institutions that create our own perceptions of who we are. Society is what influences…

inevitable that we use it every day; even towards the most banal of exigencies, the most trivial of facts, it 's something we’ve just come to take for granted. As a “scientist,” though, I do have to wonder how does rhetoric fall into the world of scientific discourse. Turns out, science is inherently rhetorical; everything in science is the result of discourse between opposing factions trying to determine which is the more accurate depiction of how something works in this world, not to mention…

De Suassure’s Paraphrase De Suassure discusses the difference between semiology (study of signs) to linguistics and how it is a part of semiology. He argues about the difference between signs and symbols; the former being an arbitrary thing and the latter has a rational relationship with the thing it relates too. He then talks about how linguistic changes based on individuals and society. To examine this, he talks about the difference between synchronic linguistics, which is studied during a…

article Darwin and the scientific method, author Francisco Ayala compares two scientific methods and discusses Charles Darwin’s impact on the scientific community. A scientific method is a procedure that scientists use to make systematic observations, experiments, and to formulate a hypothesis. During the 18th century, Darwin discovered one of many reasons on why evolution occurs and established the theory of natural selection that would later become the model for other scientific studies.…

The purpose of this paper is to explore the two different arguments provided by two different philosophers regarding the metaphysical and science. John Polkinghorne’s ontological argument and Richard Dawkin’s unwavering belief of evolution. Although I believe Polkinghorne’s argument to be undeniably incorrect. I plan to present the strongest evidence for both arguments in an attempt to ultimately see which one is most viable. I may add supporting claims from other philosophers throughout the…
