Politeness theory

Lecturer: Wil Van Breugel Lecture Title: “What is Life, and Where is it?” Lecture’s Central Argument: Different societies have viewed cosmology differently over time and this view has evolved due to new ideologies. Lecture’s Supporting Evidence/Examples: 1.) Although much is believed to be known about the universe, we still have a lot to learn. 2.) The way people thought the universe worked has changed with time. 3.) Science has helped further understand the universe and its mask. Three questions

Motion sickness is a relatively common experience in healthy people. There are many theories regarding which stimuli are perceived as nauseogenic in people who experience motion sickness, but the direct cause and signaling remain unclear. Motion sickness can be in response to passive self-motion or illusory motion via a visual illusion. For example, people experience motion sickness while riding in a car but also can experience motion sickness in virtual reality simulations of movement. The vestibular

Today, it seems like science and religion are in a constant, bloody war with one another, similarly to the on-going war between the Palestinians and the Jews, but what are science and religion? Science is the intellectual study of the structure and behavior of the world through observation and experiment. Religion is the belief in a superior being or many superior beings. Although science and religion seem like two diverse topics, the two methods of explanation are more alike than one would think

Spontaneous generation is the thought that living organisms could be created from nonliving organisms. Just like mice coming from underwear, flies coming from decaying meat, and squirrels coming from acorns there are many examples

1- Introduction The realism versus antirealism debate is one that is related in some way to almost every branch of philosophy of science (Chakravartty, 2016). It has often been the case that astronomy has been the source wider questions regarding realism in science more generally. In the following I will agree, with Hacking, that we often have reason to hold realism even about unobserved and perhaps unobservable entities in science. I will then argue that the fact that, before the telescope, in

child’s concepts are incommensurable with the adults’ ’, Carey (1985, p. 269) argued for strong knowledge restructuring during childhood and Vosniadou called similar changes radical restructuring and explains that revisions to central ‘framework theories’ (pp. 46–49) involve ontological and epistemological changes. Chi et al. called their strongest ontological changes ‘tree swapping’ and Thagard (1992) also has a strongest change which he calls ‘tree switching.’ Two candidates for these types of

Popular science informs the general public of scientific findings. However, due to lack of knowledge in the scientific field and the need to entice readers, journalists and reporters may convey the wrong information or fabricate the truth, leading to misreporting. As such, misunderstanding and misinterpretation may arise, resulting in confusion and mistrust of the public. Therefore, I feel that popular science is much more than trivial rubbish. Popular science is an approach to better understand

From my understanding, people behave the way they do because of their childhood, culture difference and life experiences. I firmly believe that an individual 's personality and the situations they encounter have important effects on their behavior. Personality traits and attitudes stem from circumstances that left a perception. Behaviors trigger instant decisions and response to intuitions or feelings. Emotions are first perceived from a childhood and images remain. Children encounter bullying,

However, perception is imposed upon scientific thinkers by their “paradigm” and theoretical commitments. Developmental ideas are consequently the result of theory and technology ladenness of observations. Theories and technology have a corporate communication, where technological development can generate new organizational theories and previous theories can inspire new technologies or practices. This is evident in the medical writings of the Hippocratics, Methodists, Erasistratus, and Aristotle. Although

Teaching Science is very important for our everyday lives. Science help us to understand of how and why things work like they do. But science education in secondary schools is exposed to several challenges and limitations. The first challenge is the science curriculum in secondary school: this curriculum is very dry, heavy and we are obliged to explain it all and it takes a very long time to finish it and prevents us to realize different methods of learning to explain the content in a clear and thorough
