Have you ever asked yourself what chapter or topics in psychology you will remember forever after your undergraduate degree! If not, I advice you to take my choice. Chapter 1 on the topic “The Six Scientific Thinking Principles,” the six scientific thinking principles are correlation vs. causation, falsifiability, Replicability, extraordinary claims, ruling out rival hypotheses and Occam’s razor. I think these principles can be applied in many different situations in life because it goes beyond psychology.

Correlation verses Causation, this is an error of ignorance or assuming that because something is associated with another, then it automatically ...

My ethics involve what God intends for us to do and values passed down to me by my family. The general principles involve four main ideas which include: - Doing what God wants me to do – based in the teachings of the bible, my church, community and family - ...

Industrial psychology can be defined as the use of psychological principles and concepts to challenges concerning people working in organizations.

Two years later in 1903, Munsterberg authored a book titled “The Psychology of Industrial Efficiency” which focused on improvement of industrial productivity using psychological principles. These two books generated interest in organizational psychology. However, the concepts of industrial psychology were first applied by US Army during ...

There were a lot of knights recorded in King Arthur’s time. Most of them are renowned because of their greatness like Sir Launcelot du Lake, Sir Tristram de Liones, Sir Lamorak de Galis, and many more.

Smith gives a general overview of the process and argues that the process is beneficial. Although he does not address the principles, the book gives the basic ...

The critical importance of morality in leadership lays not in the highest standard of behavior it can set; but in the disastrous outcomes it can prevent, or at least, help prevent. The problem, however, is in the relativistic environment it has to deal with. Relativism has no standard, other than the standard of the individual. And, in the corporate world, that standard often rests in the position of power. Anyone in power has the official incentive to impose personal standards (“individualistic morality”) upon others. That, however, does not mean that a morality based on personal standards is morality at ...

All sane and considerate people who strive for prosperity have the same goals and targets. These goals include a healthy people, less violence and crime, freedom and a prosperous nation. However, people differ in their ideas so as to achieve these goals. Both liberalism and conservatism promoters seek to achieve positive results concerning the national educational policy. Although liberalism is supported a majority of the people, both principles (left-wing and right-wing) seek to find the most appropriate and method of overcoming illiteracy and ignorance (Neil, 28). The Democrats traditionally support the liberal principles as the Republicans believe in conservatism.

Experts have opined that while conducting human experimentation, certain norms be followed that are accepted by the medical profession. These norms which are called the ethics of medical research(Tikveel, 1949)⁠, have created a clear divide between routine medical practice and medical research.

Ever since the concept of operant conditioning presented to the discipline of Psychology, it has been praised, applied and criticized equally in fervor. Currently, both psychologists and economists have interests in its applications. The concepts of operant conditioning are applied in many fields such as education, business organizations, communities, professional bodies, market, international relations and even in robotics. One domain that binds both, economics and operant conditioning is consumer demand (Domjan, M. 2009). In Economics, the consumer demand is a function of price of the good and the quantity purchased.

There are many theories on how people learn. The social learning theory, constructivism, behavioral, cognitive information processing, and many others all suggest ideas about how people process information and learn. While they all make strong cases and have valid points about how individuals learn information and retain it, my views on the subject do not align with one specific theory. There are too many people who learn in too many ways for just one to be correct. For this reason, my informal learning theory combines pieces of different theories in order to create the most effective teaching method.

Although not all of his decisions turned out to be successful, what has emerged in the years since his presidency is that he has a love for his country that informed his choices.

As the nursing profession continues to evolve, it is important that nurses also evolve along with the occupation. Telehealth can serve the following purposes: providing home telenursing; electronic referrals to specialists and hospitals; teleconsulting between specialists, general practitioners, or nurse practitioners; minor injury consulting; and consulting through call centers (Thede & Sewell, 2012 P. 369).

In his poem Dante showed not only medieval perceptions of Heaven and Hell, good and evil but also his own view on human virtues and sins. As any other author he made the poem his own personal statement, therefore it reflects Dante’s political and moral principles. First of all, Dante was a catholic. Therefore, hardly any person without being baptized could enter the Gates of Heaven. On the other hand, Dante believed that person can be good and moral even without being catholic. This is why he created Limbo. Actually, it is the first circle of Hell but people ...

Ethical considerations have become a cardinal consideration in making business decisions. Indeed, ethical principles have become a supplement to law and regulations, which company executives must take into account. While debate abounds as to what is ethical and what is unethical, some social scientists have argued that this is beside the point and a trite discussion. However, the business community recognizes the crucial need to define the criteria by which decisions have to be made into their typology for examinational purposes. It is a conundrum to define with certainty what entails ethical behavior. Many scholars have come up with their own definitions, but ...

Scientific techniques refer to procedures that are informed by technical or logical postulates in developing practical mechanisms or systems. Scientific principles refer to methods based on empirical and measurable facts for measuring and investigating a particular phenomenon. Scientific principles and techniques therefore are strategies and techniques used to investigate a phenomenon, validate facts, or reject a thesis based on empirical and measurable facts (Jarrett 2009, p. 219). In engineering, scientific methods determine the quality and level of material used for the final assembly stage.

Scientific principles and techniques are essential in promoting research in different areas of engineering. Engineers examine the concepts ...

Theories by definition are guesses and conjunctures about a particular idea and the means to prove its validity, facts are presented to support the theory through research and practical applications. At certain point theories becomes the subject of debate when the underlying principles of the theory are challenged due to the weak spots and holes found in its context.

IT is a Christian vocation. However, the extent to which IT practices are exercised in a Christian way is largely dependent on the individual because, as with everything else, IT can be used both for the good and the bad, as explained in the following ethical theories of moral relativism, utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics (Pojman & Fieser, 2008).

Questions of ethics have troubled humanity since the dawn of time. In the Book of Genesis, the first controversy involved the decision to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil – in other words, to know that it was possible to commit evil, and to experience temptation. The serpent couches this as the chance to be like God; when the first couple actually eats the fruit, though, they find that the possibility of evil in the world is not a source of empowerment but instead is a recipe for tragedy. The consequences of their decision only takes ...

Everyday questions about people, how they think and behave take center stage. Understanding behavior and mannerisms are the purposes of psychology.

If wielded properly, it can help advance human civilization by managing characteristics that are self-destructive and cultivating ones that are beneficial.

Conservatism based on Russell Kirk and Phyllis Schlafly’s Works

Conservatism can be defined as a social and or political philosophy that favors the retention of traditional social orders and institutions. This means that in a typical argument between liberals and traditionalists, conservatives would vote for the retention of established dogmas, principles, and institutions, emphasizing the importance of continuity and stability. Following the Second World War, countries, not just the United States, have made great progress in making reforms, either to their existing social, economic, and or political orders. While this may be something that would immediately alarm the conservatives, both Russell Kirk and Phyllis Schlafly presented good points of explanations ...

The department of justice always focuses in preventing the future on terrorist related activities. It is worth nothing that terrorism is one of the biggest threats to the United States and the entire world. Civil liberties at home are very important since the constitution provides protection.

Analytically, it is evident that the costs to liberties are worth the security measures that the USA PATRIOT Act provides. It makes no sense to protect ...

Before the onset of the seventeenth century, the Middle East had dominated in the area of mathematical ideas. Many philosophers and scientists came up with compelling ideas in mathematics and proved many formulas in mathematics from the Middle East. Essentially, there were distinct factors that influenced scholars and philosophers from this region to be competent in mathematics and other scientific inventions as they were. However, in the onset of the seventeenth century, Europe replaced the Middle East, which had been vastly associated with mathematical discoveries. Europe thus became the new engine house of mathematical ideas from the seventeenth century . ...

Following a philosophy of life is not only a matter of choice, but also a matter of personal conviction. Not uncommonly, a person might be following a certain system of beliefs without knowing it has a name or that it is even regarded as a philosophy in its own right.

It never occurred to me that the set of principles I have always followed was one developed in the ancient China thousands ...
