Introduction The evolution of mankind from the medieval times to the current ‘science and technology age’ has allowed mankind to evolve and adapt to nature well. In fact, the advent of science has propelled mankind forward to where he is today, something that was considered unimaginable and unattainable hundreds and thousands of years back. Albert Einstein once said “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” So I question, what is Science? Before I develop my…

Philosophers and psychologists have long debated the nature of emotions. Although they are a universal experience, emotions become very difficult to define. They involve bodily sensations and certain behaviours yet they are much more sophisticated than brute feeling such as hunger and thirst as they also involve a cognitive aspect. Emotions can generally defined by cognitive, behavioural and physiological reactions to some external stimulus, therefore we know that emotions are a combination of…

and psychology has an important role in developing the intellectual to formulate various conceptual relationship of religion and science (Osma, 2008). Its main role is to provide formulations conceptual to the scientists rationally justifiable by scientific and accountable to be used as premises of various types of science. For example cosmology, with their cosmology can help relieve and conceptualize the basics of science such as physics and…

I. Introduction The author tries to provide an exegesis of John 4:1-42 by using the exegetical framework. The investigation will cover textual criticism, demarcation of the text, the social-historical setting of the place of the micro text within its macro structure and detailed analysis verse by verse which will incorporate some important insights. II. Demarcation of the Text and comments concerning the Structure: We need to divide the text into smaller unities in order to obtain some…

With the knowledge that we possess today it is almost insane to think that there were those who used to believe that the earth was flat. It almost seems understandable that before the first voyages around the world that the belief of the earth being flat was plausible because if you do not know the solid facts then what information or theories that are provided are the only form of knowledge on that subject and those are the choices to choose from. It maybe an educated guess but it is just that,…

Introduction Both cognitive psychologists and philosophers have been interested in cognitive development. The aim of this paper is to examine the developmental theories of Piaget, Vygotsky and Burner as they contend with cognitive development. Also, these theories are quite different from each other. John Piaget Swiss development psychologist John Piaget (1896-1980) was one of the first people to examine cognitive development systematically. Piaget proposed that children are born with a…

Can you name critical points in your life that have changed it dramatically? What about critical points in the world’s history? The concept of a critical point is something that can be seen in various sciences. Critical point is a moment when something radically changes its state or direction. For example, in physics, there are critical points when water changes its state – once it falls below 0 Celsius, it becomes an ice, and once it rises above 100 Celsius, it becomes a gas. An example of the…

3.8. DEDUCTIVE RESEARCH “A deductive approach is concerned with developing a hypothesis (or hypotheses) based on existing theory, and then designing a research strategy to test the hypothesis” (Wilson, 2010:7) Monette et al (2005: 34) further explains deductive approach by the means of hypotheses, which can be derived from the propositions of the theory. In other words, deductive approach is concerned with deducting conclusions from premises or propositions. “Deduction begins with an expected…

Exploratory Testing vs Scripted Testing : which is better? Problems with multiple solutions signify that people can approach issues in the way that best suits their resources, capabilities and requirements. This is true for testing methodology where there are a number of ways that can be taken, but it's truly the end result that matters. The choice comes down to two potential ways: scripted or exploratory. Testing teams can apply a variety of underlying practices to drive their testing…
