Topic: What is Science? What is Technology? Relationship between Science & Technology ‘Science and Technology’ are often discussed as two identical components however, a closer observation of these topics can reveal their distinction. For instance, a medical technology like X ray often have huge scientific background however it is interesting to note that the science of X rays has aspects beyond the X ray technology. According to Brooks (1994) science and technology can be considered as two…

merely be a pile of bricks with no structure and meaning. Henri Poincare uses this house as a metaphor for science. He ultimately compares the building of a house to shaping a stream of theories and facts into logical text. The relationship between the parts and the bricks must be significant in completing the task. Without this relationship between the parts and the bricks,…

All throughout history, science and technology has bettered the lives of men everywhere. However, Oryx and Crake, by Margaret Atwood, explores a world where scientific advancement does more harm than good. The pharmaceutical companies in the novel have gone beyond creating medicines to battle disease and bodily dysfunction. Their expansion into genetically modified animals raises questions about what exactly comprises nature.Margaret Atwood uses the literary elements of theme and character,…

Political science is a study attempting to understand human behavior as it relates to politics. As such, political science, like any science, requires hypotheses, testable objectives to try and narrow down the large scope that is the global politic scene. Nonetheless, as human behavior forms the basis of political science, it can be inherently difficult to quantify. This begs the question as to whether or not political science can be considered a hard, quantifiable science—one based on…

remember I have always had a passion for science. I have always been curious about the why and how of things, and have been fascinated with exploring all there is to know about the Earth. Science is such a complex subject, with many different areas and fields of study, there is always more to learn. When I was younger I remember being excited to join my first Science Olympiad team, and have the opportunity to aggrandize my knowledge about the different fields of science in a more in depth…

Political Science is an illusion that if it is discovered, humans react with violence. Every time any individual defines any illusion, violence start to grow for a demand of rights. It is better for humans to grow with illusions, so they don’t have to begin violent situations. “Social Science” gets in every human brains, and controls them. Psychological humans can have their brain control for years…

Death is not merely biological phenomena. Biology, medicine and its related disciplines studies death and dying scientifically. Social sciences like sociology or socio psychology and Human sciences like cultural anthropology, history, religious studies and literary theory investigates the death as a human phenomenon. Philosophical perspectives on death and dying are made up of some important categories borrowed from humanistic perspectives. (Pihlström, 2009: 278) This theme is willingly…

This paper examines the value and application of utilizing interdisciplinary connections (IDC) in instructing within the science classroom, in support of the standard set out in the Alabama Course of Study: Science (2015). There is some disagreement on whether the benefits of IDC instruction outweigh the potential shortfall in effective teaching of important scientific principles with a commensurate depth. Dickinson and Young (1998) voice concern that marginalizing disciplinary boundaries may…

Reader Diary 1: Robson, C. (2002). Approaches to social research. In Real world research (pp.16-26). Oxford, UK: Blackwell Publishing Ltd. This reading has been useful in understanding the different ways one can set out to conduct scientific research in the real world. While the author does a good job of remaining objective and supporting arguments of all sides it recognizes critical realism as being the best approach. Refreshingly, the author seems to place importance on staying flexible…

It may seem reasonable to assert that scientific progress has been the principle cause of secularization. In fact, a main question that still exists in the minds of many is whether or not science caused secularization and unbelief. In Galileo Goes to Jail, John Brooke is presented with this question and believes that there is truth in this proposition however there are other elements that have caused unbelief other than scientific thought. Secularization commonly refers to the transition from…
