Specifically‚ Boas‚ in The Methods of Ethnology‚ argued against the various traditional evolutionary theories proposed by Morgan‚ Marx‚ Tylor and Spencer. Stating simply that these theories had a particular resilience‚ but lacked any sort of empirical evidence‚ Boas argued that the evolutionary theory was based on the counterfactual assumption that our culture was the most advanced and all others were merely following us (Boas‚ 134). After attacking the diffusionists by noting that their data was

Procedure Programming and Object Oriented Programming both uses linear sequence of commands‚ yet Object Oriented Programming have developed a more complex and abstract approach (Stetson‚ 2004). Object Oriented Program is an extension to Procedure Program. Procedure Programming and

Object-oriented Programming/Event-Driven Programming versus Procedural Programming Professor Computer Program Design Object-oriented Programming/Event-Driven Programming versus Procedural Programming There are many advantages of using Object-oriented Programming (OOP) over Procedural Programming (PP). When using inheritance‚ you can develop new classes more quickly by extending existing classes that already work; you need to concentrate only on new features added by the new class.

Procedural Programming vs Object Oriented Programming When writing code for a program it is very important to make sure that you use the best language for what the client needs. Prior to making a decision on what language to use‚ a programmer needs to decide which method he or she wants to use. The two most common methods used by coders in the field today are procedural and object oriented programming (OOP). Making the decision to use an incorrect option could run cause problems during the maintenance
