Social learning theory

core of the social sciences since they first came about. Those in opposition to the social sciences claim free will is the moral choices you make everyday to say yes and no to good and evil. On the other hand, social scientists argue, if you can bring science to how things work, you can bring science to the way humans work while giving us a semi-empirical rationale for our choices. Although many argue the social sciences cannot undo our natural instinct to choose good and evil, the social…

The scientific method is the tool that scientist have used through the human history to understand how many phenomena occur in the in the universe. However, the universe can be complex to be recorded in some cases, for example, how a body is affected when it suffers the speed of the light could be hardly testable. This complexity makes the scientists use their instinct and abilities at the time they applied the scientific method. In addition, an absolute truth cannot be obtained. The universe…

suggest you not to pay for the “ghost removal”. First of all, Geistology is not a real theory so far. In science, according to 2nd Law of Theory Acceptance, which says that in order to become accepted, a theory is assessed by the method actually employed at the time1, Geistology is not using any method that is employed by people nowadays in order to become accepted. Although the scientists may attempt to make the theory accepted, there is still a…

Science, Food and Beyond in Michael Pollan’s “Unhappy Meals” “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants” is the opening statement in Michael Pollan’s article “Unhappy Meals” (Pollan 1). In this article Pollan presents to the reader a new standpoint on what food really is. Pollan’s main argument is that nowadays nutrition has stopped being about whole foods, and is all about nutrients like vitamins and carbs. New terms like “fiber” and “cholesterol” replacing…

Brodie refers to evolution as being controversial, I fail to see it as so, controversial means debatable, and to date there is no more well researched, well founded, and supported scientific theory for the origin of species. Reading this opening reminded me of the Bill Nye – Ken Ham debate, Bill Nye argued that creation is not a viable scientific explanation to the origin of species while Ken Ham opposed. In the final moments of the debate, both men were asked, what would change each other’s…

As Bond says, “Frankenstein could equally have been a philosopher with some personal theory or a Romantic poet, and the dominant themes of the novel would have remained the same.” Many of the themes associated with science, such as that of over ambition are still applicable without the scientific context and I believe the moral issues explored…

Claude Bernard “It is what we already know that often prevents us from learning” (Claude 2). This famous scientist wanted to find out about more of the body then what man already knew at his time. Claude Bernard studied and found many discoveries about the human body and its functions. He found valuable information that is still accurate and used today. This paper will walk through Claude’s life and his discoveries, research, and achievement. To start off, his birth was on July 12th, 1813. He…

what the term “theory” means, then I came across with the term “core explanatory theories” which had no idea what it meant what so ever. So, I was able to learn that core explanatory theories are theories that are firmly established through accumulation of a substantial body of supporting evidence and have no competitors such as cell theory, periodic law, etc. In other words, I learned that the term theory can mean and represent different meanings depending on what field the term theory is being…

Developmental theories have numerous applications, in the world of Psychology and Criminology, they have specific roles to play in bettering the understanding of outcomes and to better predict given outcomes on a bases of observations and past knowledge. There are a multitude of existing theories and angles on life-course, which many professionals and psychologists study in order to better understand the questions raised on Developmental Theories. A large part of developing and furthering that…

The Scientific Method, in my opinion, is a lengthy process to test the validity of hypotheses or theories in order to determine whether those educated guesses hold accurate value to either solve a world problem or answer a scientific question. Much of my paper, if not all, is cited from the ICC’s Films on Demand video called The Scientific Method that can be found under our class’s “Course Materials” tab. The Scientific Method has a total of five parts or sections: define the problem, form a…
