winner, English chemist, Sir Cyril Herman Hinshelwood, once said, “[Science is] an imaginative adventure of the mind seeking truth in a world of mystery.” Dr. Ashley Murray and Dr. Sarah Parcak, two scientists featured in National Geographic Education’s “Real-World Geography” segment, both fulfill Sir Cyril Herman Hinshelwood’s idea of science as they both work to improve the world by using imaginative solutions to solve real-world mysteries. Dr. Ashley Murray discovers the solution to use human…

Ignorance Is Not Bliss Knowledge is the characteristic people obtained through millennia of trial and error that has allowed humans to become the dominant species and control the Earth. People’s natural curiosity initiated science and technological movements in the early years of humankind's history that have given us new understandings and perspectives of the world. However, before humans had time to move their focus from basic survival to more intellectual endeavors, they were ignorant…

Part A: The Science of Persuasion The tutorials with the most useful information are the one written by Cialdini in his two tutorials, Cialdini 2012, Principles of persuasion, and Cialdini 2001, Harnessing the science of persuasion. The author asserts that influencing other people in any workplace is not through magic or luck; instead, it involves more of science (Cialdini 2001). Again, he was able to know that the abilities of individuals to identify and understand the factor affecting their…

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…

There are many instances where false information that is gathered is believed to be true which causes a plethora of problems. Such problems could include incorrect publication of information to the public, false information being taught in schools and even false information being relied on for medical purposes. All of these occurrences could be detrimental to the proper functioning of the society as a whole. For example, an abstract written by John P. A. Loannidis who works in the department of…

Argentina, I encountered uncertainty and anxiety towards the maximum threshold at first. Had I practiced mindfulness sooner, I would have possessed the capacity to appreciate a greater amount of my time in Buenos Aires. Now, since I am aware of the methods for managing anxiety and uncertainty, I am sure that the next trip to a new place will be a lot more engaging from the…

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…

Arrangement, however, is somewhat straightforward: most papers of science and research utilized a very standard structure, the IMRAD system: abstract (summarizes the whole paper in one paragraph), introduction (explains why this was undertaken), method/materials (discusses the experimental design and the items used), results (explains what was the result of the experiment), and discussion (concluding remarks based on the findings and any other worthwhile material). Usually, deviation from that…
