technologies emerge. Science and technology does not stop at a single point. In the era of the 20th century as it is today, rapid progress of science and technology is so fast, so that people can live and undergo daily activities easily. Internet, smart phone, drone, and many others are the kinds of modern technology works. Let’s see about drone, this powerful tool is very popular today because the benefits are very spacious and very petrified human work. However, the influence of science and…

The question of whether or not psychology is a science is a query which tends to come up in academic circles, usually deteriorating into arguments surrounding the validity of the discipline. Psychology, being the most popular undergraduate major in the United States, is an appealing field of study for many youths considering a career that will not only allow them to flourish monetarily but also helps them to develop the skills they use in social interactions everyday. As a result of its…

divided into various races based on biological differences contains multiple flaws. Science has proven that humans all belong to the same race. Furthermore the belief that multiple races exist is not only wrong but can also be quite dangerous because it leads to the justified oppression of specific races believed to be inferior. Oppressed “races” are then subjected to genocide and slavery (Djerrahian, The social organization of difference, October 4th 2017). Some believe that there are…

Globally, there are substantial differences in women’s and men’s rates of participation in STEM (science, technology, education, and math) careers and in their test scores in these. Though in some countries and in some levels of education, women earn better scores than men on math and science tests, it is much more common for men to outperform women, and men are universally overrepresented in STEM careers. Researchers have exploited country-level differences in these phenomena in an attempt to…

In 1911, the problems and invalidness of scientific racism became more exposed, especially the main problem with it. The main problem with racial science was its inability to distinguish between phenotypical, genetic, biological, and cultural variation among the human population along with having insufficient and invalid evidence to back it up. Franz Boas questioned and challenged the beliefs that race, culture, and language were all connected. He studied and observed different skulls of…

and mathematics in general have largely been held as peculiarly separate from the physical and social sciences. This is based on the seeming certainty of arithmetic, opposed to the verifiability of the empirical sciences. This uniqueness has generated significant discussion on the exact nature of mathematical truth. The inductivists held that mathematical truths were simply an extension of empirical science; mathematical truths are simply highly probable rather than certain. Hempel defends a…

classroom teacher, theoretical perspectives are the backbone of teaching and learning. Being a science teacher brings another element, which is the adoption and integration of STEM disciplines to create a new level of learning experiences. In order to analyze a variety of theoretical perspectives, I will use the physics topic of kinematics because it includes all the disciplines of STEM. Kinematics is science of describing the motion of all objects in a variety of ways. The subtopics within…

I believe in applying knowledge to innovate and challenge the obstacles that are holding back the advancement of science. As such, a lab-based research thesis will give me the opportunity to critically think and apply what I learned so far academically and professionally to find solutions to the unanswered questions that lie at the scientific frontline. This experience will also allow me to further develop skills that will help me advance and excel towards my career in clinical research and…

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 argument further, I…

was a time that saw the separation between science and religion disappear. A new mindset had been born during this time period, and these motives lead to the challenge of authoritative figures. This clash between an already established aspect of society, and a new and growing concept created advancements and developments amongst many subjects including medicine, science, technology, and also alternative beliefs. At this time, the development of science led to rational thought, instead of blind…
