WHAT and WHY Science and Philosophy of Science?

Image
  Science Science is the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence. The earliest evidence of science can be found in prehistoric times, such as the discovery of fire, invention of the wheel and development of writing. Science is exciting. Science is a method of discovering what is in the universe and the way those things work today, how they worked in the past, and the way they are likely to work in the future. Scientists are motivated by the thrill of seeing or figuring out something that nobody has before. Science is useful. The knowledge generated by science is powerful and reliable. It may be used to develop new technologies, treat diseases, and handle several other forms of problems. Science is ongoing. Science is continually refining and increasing our knowledge of the universe, and because it does, it leads to new questions for future investigation. Science will never be "finis...

Idea of the Gender and Sexism

Image
Gender Gender is a socially created definition of women and men. it is not an equivalent as sex (biological characteristics of women and men) and it is not the same as women. Gender is determined by the conception of tasks, functions and roles attributed to ladies and men in society and in public and private life. Identifying your gender can be more diverse than simply seeing yourself as ‘male’ or ‘female’,  and people express their gender in different ways. Gender equity Gender equity requires equal enjoyment by women and men of socially valued goods, opportunities, resources and rewards. Gender equity does not mean that women and men become the same, but that their opportunities and life chances are equal. Gender Justice Gender Justice envisions a world where everybody can thrive regardless of their gender, gender expression, or sexual orientation. Gender inequality is primarily a problem of unequal power relations between men and women. It violates human rights, constrains choic...

And the evidence of how human do the reasoning for their problems. It also has several parts to be explained. Testimony The term testimony in modern analytic philosophy is used as label for the spoken or written word, once this purports to expire the speaker's or writer's knowledge, conveying factual information or other truth. Testifying, or giving testimony, could be a linguistic action, and testimony is its result, an audible speech act of telling or a lot of extended discourse (perhaps recorded), or a legible written text. Our central issue about testimony can be divided into two main terms as “descriptive” and “normative” . So there are four distinct questions to investigate. They are as follows. Descriptive local question: How just human trust their informant unthinkingly, blindly; or do they somehow evaluat...

We can’t look forward only with the theories we have learned. Learning Learning is mostly outlined as a method of new information being discovered and assimilated. The entire purpose of learning is that you just have to be able to assimilate all of the new things that you just realize in your environment. Therefore what we have learned by definition is that we learn; we also need to be ready to apply what we learn to our environment. Learning Styles There are several learning styles. But those learning styles may different from human-to-human. So let’s take a look at the top 4 learning styles, and see what style resonates with hum...
