forms of knowledge of the reality identified by ontology. With regards to the positivist approach, it is suggested that it employs a scientific discourse derived from the epistemologies of positivism and realism. It is possible to obtain hard, secure knowledge about what exists in society. In the social world this would be based on the belief that only a scientific approach would lead us to knowledge, as social phenomena are considered as "things", and things can be measured and defined…

Cognitive psychology and learning Any account of belief and belief-forming processes must take into consideration a salient feature of all belief formation: bias. As J. Lauwereyn’s book The Anatomy of Bias: How Neural Circuits Weigh the Options argues, bias is a fundamental constraint in the production and maintenance of many veridical beliefs. What is important for her, however, is that we acknowledge this bias and qualify it as good or bad in terms of its role in decision making. Lauwereyn,…

across Canada. I am writing to state my disagreement and concern with introducing cryptozoology as a scientific study in the Academy. The reasoning behind my disagreement with your proposition is because of the importance of distinguishing science from non-science, as well as the problems with anecdotal evidence on cryptozoology, and finally, the nonsensical expenditure of government funds on non-scientific research. In order to distinguish the division of science and non-science, one…

Truth, here substituted as an example for convenience of argument for the eternal forms, fall under the same category because they cannot be defined by anything. Truth is self-defining, and Deceit is the complete absence of Truth. That leaves both scientific observations and abstract knowledge, which can both be defined using applications of other segments of the divided…

Principal investigator-The first person I chose to explore was principal investigator (PI).. The first challenge faced involved deciding whether or not to send a visibly Greg home. I chose to send him home because he was visibly tired and the likelihood that his work would be subpar or involve mistakes would increase. In addition to preventing costly mistakes, I sent Greg home for his own health, and to let him know that PIs believe in rest. Next, Kim approached the PI with a problem while he…

Clinical Question The problem that is addressed in this paper is whether use of electronic charting is an effective tool to reduce the future risk of the complications that arise after the operations, in comparison to the traditional paper charting. The significance of this problem is that the paper charting of the patients are facing certain drawbacks. These are the quality issues of the records, loss in the productivity due to these records and also the cost that is included in the manual…

of truth through scientific practitioners, for example, between its theological competitors. In the earlier days, people had a desire to explain the preconceived notion by linking natural phenomena and mythology, and religion and philosophy they observed. Another way to explain these phenomena, scientists systematically observed them and testing their ideas of modern science.…

According to Alasuutari, there are two major types of research method including quantitative and qualitative (Alasuutari et al. 2008). There has recently an emergence of a new method called mix-method research (Daymon 2011). Based on these mentioned objectives, author will choose quantitative approach for this study. Now there is the justification for this choice. There is a key difference in collecting data between two methods. While quantitative method collects data in the form of numbers,…

As humanity progresses, it is inevitable that more and more knowledge comes to be accumulated. These knowledge get classified under different umbrella terms according to the elements of our world that they primarily deal with. Depending on which element of Academia they belong to, they naturally involve different manners of approach, understanding and outcomes. It is therefore inadvertent that different areas of knowledge (AOKs) will come to face distinctions between them so as to provide…

emotional, and ergo economic, control over the American working class. Patrick Appel is not the first to delve into the myth of “race”, but he does offer a well-rounded, professionally composed vindication that responds to several misinterpretations of scientific research in the field of genetics. Appel presents this through his 2014 article, “Why ‘Race’ Isn’t Biological.” Biologically, races are defined as “genetically distinct populations within the same species” (Live…
