    1) Empirical study-a study that uses tangible observations. The data collected comes from physical means that are concrete and use the senses to gather data. (McMillian‚ 2016‚ p.7) Example: Empirical studies can be quantitative or qualitative; in research involving retention efforts they will be empirical studies conducted to gather data. 2) Theory- is an educated assumption that explains how‚ what we as researchers examine relate to each other. It creates meaning from the information gathered. McMillian

    Social Identity Theory making reference to empirical research studies What is the Social Identity Theory? Social identity theory is the idea that we‚ as humans‚ have the need to categorize ourselves into in-groups ‘us’ and out-groups ‘them’ in order to give ourselves a positive social identity to protect and enhance our self-esteem. Empirical research done to support this theory Tajfel H. (1970) One of the most well known studies done to support social identity theory was the minimal

    essential that the structure is derived. Firstly it is important to determine the percentage composition of elements to work out the empirical formula. The empirical formula was found to be C10H12O and the mass of the unknown was 148.09 m/z which when calculating the molecular weight of the empirical formula it did equal 148.09 g mol -1. This means that the empirical formula is also the molecular formula. As 12.01x10 carbons +1.008x12 hydrogens + 16= 148.09 09 g mol -1. From this knowledge the unknown

    Empirical Rationalism claims that it can be clearly observed that a person’s moral judgements come directly from his or her rational capacity. In other words‚ it claims that based on observation‚ it is evident that our moral judgements come from reason. This opposes to sentimentalists’ theories which claim that our moral judgments come from our emotions. Shaun Nichols affirms that research done on psychopaths proves empirical rationalism wrong. For example‚ he states that psychopaths’ ability to

    The Speculative Voice (Huxly vs Niccols) - Elliott Dooley The purpose of the speculative voice is to not only to warn people of inhumane trends developing into widely accepted culture but also to make people reconsider the whole idea of a "utopian society". The idea that a world can be a place of perfect equality between all humans and still have stability is an idea that if put into practice is sure to fail and cause upheaval and possibly the demise of humanity itself. A composer’s outlook on creativity
