Theory X and theory Y

4a. Is the belief or assertion that the textbook IS a textbook rational? Remember, it is a rational belief only if there is good evidence for it. Can you find good evidence for it in the textbook itself (i.e., can you find evidence or reasons provided by the author of the textbook)? (Rely mostly on pp. 3-9; browse through the book for some other relevant clues.) What, exactly, is the content of the belief being defended? The book looks like a textbook and is it meant to use as an assigned…

Therefore, American media, having the ability to greatly promote a public interest in scientific literacy, must take responsibility to report only accurate scientific information in order to diminish the possibility of promoting unsubstantiated science and misleading the public. With the media becoming a profuse vehicle for education, interests in the sciences have grown in the public. However, current coverage on scientific information today is largely obfuscated in the media. That is, today…

Before attempting to identify “to what degree can a research within the social science be considered scientific” the researcher must first become familiar with what a research is (APUS, 2017). Research is more than a collection of information from a source. Research must project “subjective processes, social relations, and artifacts (including research instruments and methods) enable researchers to objectively comprehend phenomena” (Ratner, 2002). However, the postmodernist contention that the…

Helen O/Bannon Going Back Over: Akasha AKASHA The goal of this essay is to discuss the word Akasha. There may be some misconceptions of what Akasha is and I will help to straighten that out. Colleen Criswell cites in The Magical Circle School Resource Library that Akasha is “quite simply the fancy term for “Element of Spirit”” Criswell goes on to state that Akasha is not human or a personal spirit. The White Goddess webpage cites how the Akasha word comes from Persia and East India and means…

Darwinism is a scientific theory that everything in the world came from one single origin and follows a blueprint of order in a process called natural selection. Evolution by natural selection is one of the unsurpassed authenticated theories in the history of science, supported by evidence from a wide variety of scientific studies, including developmental biology, geology, genetics and paleontology. Created by Charles Darwin who wrote The Origin of Species (1859) to define his theory of…

Theories within School Counseling Schooling teaches students a variety of different theories that can be applied to counseling, but once in the field are those theories actually being applied? This is the question I tend to ask while learning the different theories. To gain a little insight into a professional’s approaches in the actual field of school counseling, I asked a school counselor a few questions about her experiences and approaches thus far. Every school, student, and counselor are…

In nursing, the expression of caring entails committed engagement, undivided attention, opportunities for questioning all in an attempt to address an…

Summary In this article, Delcourt and associates (1998) outline the implications of the carbonized plant remains to better grasp the effects Prehistoric Native Americans had on the Eastern Kentucky landscape through paleoecological sequence. Specially addressing how Prehistoric Native American populations bred and selected for plant-food resources in Eastern Kentucky during the Pleistocene and early Holocene (Delcourt, 1998). 36 radiocarbon-dated, botanical assemblages, mostly charcoal, obtained…

There are many different perspectives from which we can make judgements about Watson and Crick’s publishing of the double-helix structure of DNA. These judgements depend on a person’s views on scientific ethics, the perceived value of Watson and Crick’s findings, and how their findings were built on the work of their peers. I’m not particularly passionate about the matter, but I think that to frame a discussion about the Ethics of Watson and Crick’s “discovery,” the most fundamental step is to…
