He went on to explain that science, if it is science, can be reduced to mathematics and then can predict. “Science can generate electricity or flatten cities,” he said. The problem, of course, is that whenever one deals with the “soft sciences,” political science or economics (the dismal science) or sociology or history or any of the disciplines that are housed in ...

Faith and the belief systems play a vital role in driving the human experience. In their articles, Street (2010), Keane (2008), and Lewis (2002) make interesting discussions about the concept of belief in the universal world. This essay utilizes their influence to argue that belief is not in opposition to doubt. Also, however, there appears to be a clear universal distinction between irrational and rational beliefs. The following is a further discussion on this issue. Belief systems, however, have different ways of explaining forces that operate within the contemporary world. Christianity, for instance, as suggested by Alice Street (2010) ...

How archaeologists study the past. Archaeology is the only branch of human study, which relies more on material human remains than on direct observations on human behaviour or on written evidence. This focus on material evidence makes archaeologists refine the methods and techniques for gathering and analyzing data, which provide maximum extraction of information from available sources (Greene, 77). Typically, archaeologist divides his time between work in the library, in the field and in the laboratory. He begins with exploring predecessors’ research, and then he is for the field to collect data for his own research. The value of ...

What was Jesus’ point in the teaching?

Introduction Monetary policy is a vital tool for the Government to mend economic problems in a country. Economic theory can be applied into monetary policy to know which move policy makers can do to meet their desired economic measures. For example, in economic theory, reducing the money supply will lower aggregate demand, because people will have lesser purchasing power. This will also lead to other economic fluctuations because of the decrease in aggregate demand. A very good example is the money contraction France did in 1724. By collecting ideas from Francois Velde (2009) on his analysis on the events that ...

- Describe a situation where a Goodness-of-Fit Test could be used We know, that chi-square goodness-of-fit test is a non-parametric test which helps us to understand if there is a significant difference between observed and expected frequencies of some experiment.

Where f0 are observed frequencies, fe are expected frequencies.

For example, consider the coin tossed 100 times with the result of 65 tails and 35 heads. We want to test hypothesis if the coin is symmetric. If the coin is symmetric, then expected frequencies will be 50 and 50. So, X 2Pearson = (Oi-Ei) 2/Ei = (65-50) 2/50 + (35-50) 2/50 = 2*225/50 = 9. The resulting value should be compared with ...

One of the key processes of the world economy on the brink of the XX-XXI centuries is progressing globalization, i.e. a qualitatively new stage in the development of the internationalization of economic life.

For someone “globalization” is all that he needs for happiness, for others—the cause of all the misfortunes. However, for all of us, globalization is an inevitable fatality of our world, irreversible process, the process, ...

I found myself making right turns almost as much as I made left turns for the ten trips. As I did that, I felt a sense of freedom and ...

In other words, it indicates the urgency of the problem of the relationship between the central government and form part of any complex public education.

Determinism is a word used in philosophy to describe the idea that all events, actions, decisions and forms are a consequence of antecedent or past events that were inevitable. In its extreme philosophical sense, the word determinism describes naturalism, or the idea that everything is natural including our decisions and human behaviors.

The concept of determinism has been around for thousands of years albeit taking different terms, among them, necessitarianism, a term that describes the inevitability that ...

Oedipus tragedy is predicted even before his birth in the oracle of Apollo at Delphi, as his father, Laius, will meet his fatal death in his hand and he will marry his own mother, Jocasta, when he grows up.

Aristotle’s panorama about Oedipus is vividly described in the following lines: “must be one who is highly renowned and prosperous-a personage like Oedipus” (Poetics XIII paragraph 2) and “he who hears the tale ...

Whereas countries continue to embrace the bitcoins, others are implementing strict policies to curtail its use. Through a review of literatures that exists over the use of bitcoins, various scholars seem to support its use. A research on a sample of 30 people who filled questionnaires reveal ...
