Essays on Natural Science

At one point, different concepts and theories of the natural science meet at an explanation of phenomena in a manner that most scientists may not imagine. Such is the relationship between geology and physics. Geology, definitively, is the study of the composition and elements of earth. In an advanced understanding, geology defines the different aspects of the universe such as rocks and the processes by which they change. On the other hand, physics is the branch of natural science that details the understanding of matter force, energy and matter with their movement through time and space (Anand, 2002). With ...

1. The dogmas are laws and axioms that define a science and all the studies inside that science must follow. It is difficult for an investigator to challenge or dispute a law of axiom of natural science as biology, chemistry or physics; because the current scientific community follows the current dogmas of the natural sciences. In the best of cases, tens of years after the discovery or laws challenging other scientist and investigators must support the idea after the scientific community accept a change in the current dogmas.

Currently, the central dogmas of the natural sciences are:

a. All the pluricellular organisms are mechanical. The animals are considered ...

The scientific method is a systematic way to explore and explain a series of events that may contribute to the body of knowledge. It is also applied to challenge or support existing theories that have accumulated from a number of research studies over time. The scientific method involves the following steps: observations, formulation of hypothesis, testing of the hypothesis, analysis of derived data from a series of test and drawing inferences or generalizations. Thus, the scientific method is a standardized method that is employed when acquiring knowledge.

Social science research has been defined in some literature as "any scientific study of human action ...

Genetics has progressed over the recent years. Very sophisticated methods of studying genes and researching how species have evolved from one cell into complex animals. The purpose of the research by Lee, Lai, Malik, Saldarriaga, Kelling, and Slamovits at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Dalhousie University was to observe and gather more information about The Oxyrrhis marina (O. marina). The species is very good for studying about the development of two taxonomic groups of “protists, dinoflagellates and apicomplexans” (1). The molecular structure is simple, so it is at the ...

Question 1

The major approaches to communication are formal and informal communication, top-down communication, horizontal communication and diagonal communication. Each form of communication tries to explain different ways through which communication can be achieved in an organization. Formal and informal, and top -down communication sets guidelines with which communication can be achieved within the right channels. Horizontal and diagonal communication tries to show ways through which employees of different departments and of the same level can communicate.

Question 2

This refers to the ways through which an organization or a society can co-ordinate in order to achieve the specific goals and objectives. With effective ...

Research paradigms A research paradigm refers to a design, small, basic examples that are used to demonstrate procedures, methods and hypothetical points. It is also a framework guided by a set of beliefs and approaches concerning the world. Ontology, epistemology and methodology are examples of philosophical terms and represent the basic types of paradigms. Every research paradigm should be treated with the importance it deserves. A philosopher should not at any time ignore any paradigm, be it qualitative, quantitative or epistemology. A proficient research should be a comparison of several other researches. For instance, a researcher should not be contented by the ...

Abstract

Natural and physical sciences have been considered older disciplines than social science. As such, speculations are that methodologies used in social science in many ways either overlap or have been remodeled for the purposes of interpreting social phenomenon. However, the argument has always pertained to determining the extent a social scientific perspective relies on methods drawn from the physical and natural sciences. In the following pages of this document the writer will conduct an evaluation by implicitly formulating a social scientific question; explaining its significance from a social scientific perspective; analyzing three specific research problems which can emerge from this question; providing a ...

Abstract

A thorough critique of “Enhancing students’ scientific and quantitative literacies through an inquiry-based learning project on climate change” by Aaron M. McCright is the focus of this paper. It encompasses a summary of the study and findings as well as the ethical considerations and overall effectiveness of the article. The framework for critiquing a quantitative article served as a guide in the writing of this research critique, which emphasizes the significance of interdisciplinary teaching and learning in the higher learning context, particularly as it pertains to climate change and the environment. Integrating social science with natural science is one such example highlighted ...

The Scientific Method is a way that Natural Scientists determine, test and prove their hypothesis. It is an organized way to prove or disprove a theory ("Scientific method," 2014). In the context of evolution, the question to ask is: is evolution true? The next step is to do some preliminary research in order to put the question in the form of a hypothesis. To do this, the background research aims to determine if there is any empirical evidence that may support the question. The other area to explore is to question what else may have contributed to the end result, if ...

I would like to kick off the response to this essay question using a quote from a famous philosopher known as Albert Camus. “A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world”. Camus promotes the use of at least some mankind morality in order to act and behave ‘ethically’ right on our planet earth. But what are the ethics? How do they hinder or help humanity within the arts and the natural science? Ethical judgments can limit modern society thinking in many ways. Yet how many people are aware of these limitations and its affect on our spectrum of ...

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to evaluate if the knowledge based on natural sciences is more precise and correct as compared to the knowledge created by the social sciences. Concepts like Theory dependence, paradigms, probabilism, and peer review would be used to veloute the statement. There are debates on the results of work in social sciences like sociology and economics. Although decades of research in science and technology are deemed essential to address the issues of the planet, the social and nature scientists should bring information and ...

Introduction

The theory of knowledge obligation is an essential key to the educational philosophy. From a philosophic point of view, neutral question is the question that is obvious interpreted from a questioner who has not vested any interest on the answer. In other words, the questioner will accept the answer that is given out or emerges from anyone. Neutral question is a leading question in the argumentative essay that is well distinguished in the legal world of philosophy. In this case, witnesses are asked questions that are designed and produce a certain answer that will settles the questioner’s prove and will. However, collecting ...

There is No Reason We Cannot Link Facts and Theories across Disciplines and Create a Common Groundwork of Explanation

Introduction For long, there has been a conventional conception that there is ‘no reason we cannot link facts and theories across disciplines and create a common groundwork for explanation.’ The implication of this statement is that there should be no impediment to making the already presumed ‘common’ knowledge more common. For advanced, high-level thinking to be a teachable skill available to all, regardless of culture, language, or economic standing. While the concept being referred to in this statement certainly sounds like an ideal state of being, it may also be a sweeping generalization of what is a more complex issue. Despite the ...

Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) is one of the most prominent philosophers of the twentieth century. His philosophy influenced not only the various sections of philosophical knowledge, thereby extending its reach and scope, but also the development of such sciences as logic, mathematics, linguistics, the list of which is not complete. Moreover, if the twentieth century largely passed under the sign of the ideas of Karl Marx and Friedrich Nietzsche, in Wittgenstein's philosophy this century got its most profound understanding. It is all the more ironic that the philosopher did not leave a special essay on social philosophy and philosophy of history. ...

This particular book is seen as a bold step towards discovering science and its related issues from the point of view of the indigenous American and other native people from the various walks of life in the this northern Hemisphere(Cajete 14) . Native science traces its origin from well established and deep philosophical views. This particular philosophy usually touches on the correct relationship with the natural setup of the world which is usually passed through unswerving and direct contact with the landscape and also by way of social and ritual situations that enable members of a society to learn vital ...

Book Review: Newman & O'Brien(2013). In their book, Sociology: Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life, David Newman and Jodi O’Brien bring out the idea of the structuralism of society. The dual are of the view that the world is highly architectural and structural. Society is stratified into different classes, races, gender among other units of social stratification (Newman & O’Brien 255). Newman and O’Brien describe these architectural stratifications of society as being nest boxes in which various members of society find them in. the different stratifications or nest boxes of society are put together by a commonality ...

Many scholars have researched on the issue of paradigm and found that there are several classifications. The commonly known concept is given by the American philosopher Tomas Kuhn, who explains the natural science as the process of experiencing revolution and claims in such a way that these revolution periods are eroded when the old paradigm is replaced by a new and thoroughly different one. He further dictates that a paradigm is a central huddle of concepts, theoretical assumptions, rules and standards for scientific practice, which shape the approach scientists take to their subject (Psillo s& Curd, 2008 p. 24). Also, he explains ...

Introduction

Scientific as well as social knowledge have been in survived for a long time and the two bodies of knowledge are continuously developing due to the people’s need to fulfill their curiosity and explain various phenomena that are of interest to human beings. People continued to explore the world in order to increase their knowledge and make discoveries via research (Williams 2002). Scientists develop their knowledge by observing and recording what they observe and later analyze the information that they obtain from the data they have recorded so as to construct theoretical explanations of the phenomenon which was involved. ...

The French Age of Enlightenment was an age of seemingly unquenchable curiosity, discussions and reasoning. The Enlightenment was a movement towards reason which means it was a movement to leave superstition in the past. Many felt that now was a time for progress. To make progress meant leaving blind faith behind; trading it in for both critical and imaginative thinking. Imagination, rationality and reason were important to philosophers of the age. In this essay natural science and its metaphysical dynamics are discussed using two of the Enlightenment’s greatest philosophers, Voltaire and Diderot. The styles of the two philosophers are compared. ...

Introduction

Since the start of the Scientific Revolution, sciences role in society experienced a massive shift from being immensely oppressed to becoming an essential part of today’s culture. Theorists such as Galileo Galilei and many others presented wild ideas and challenged what was said to be true. The definition of truth calls for a proper gauge in order to determine the ingenuity of arguments and counter-arguments. But, how do you define what is true? The church believed in what it saw and built a belief on it, but this supremacy attitude raises the question, why are sciences and scientific theories held with ...

One of the generally established positions considering the scientific revolution of the XVII century is that the European science (primarily related to the classical natural sciences) originated from it. It is interesting that it emerged at once in the interrelation of all components: theoretical knowledge, its rationale and mathematical description, experimental testing, social structure with network of scientific communication and public application. Among the phrases that can best show the way of thinking that started acting at that time, there is one William Gilbert wrote in his Preface: “LIFE is a Chemical Process: In that of every Individual there has ...
