    When I think about Kurt Vonnegut’s ‘2 B R 0 2 B’ and when I ask myself the question whether it is a typical science fiction story‚ I find myself completely perplexed. But then again‚ what is exactly a ‘typical science fiction story’? Because many critics‚ I believe‚ would never say that nothing in the body of work of this eccentric writer is ‘typical’. Rather he would show all signs of ‘atypicality’‚ of eluding any specific genre classifications. But‚ then again‚ none of literary critics seem to

    Science and politics Much of what I’ve said would seem uncontroversial or even platitudinous to the scientifically-attuned audiences here in Newcastle this week. But there’s one thing that scientific advisors in any democratic system must not forget. When really big and long-term policies are in contention - whether about nuclear weapons‚ nuclear power‚ drug classification‚ or health risks - political decisions are seldom purely scientific: they involve ethics‚ economics and social policies as well

    • 3 Pages

    Is psychology a science? One reason why psychology may not be considered a science is its lack of a distinct paradigm. Science must involve a definable subject matter. During the 17th century Descartes believed strongly in the consciousness‚ sparking psychological research‚ but even then there was no paradigm as there is supposedly none today. Thomas Kuhn claims that psychology cannot be considered a science because it is split into different approaches‚ for example‚ cognitive‚ biological‚ behaviourist

    point of view What is Science?

    Evolving Science Will believers in Intelligent Design be able to embrace the incredibly promising and innovative solutions outlined in Luke Bawazer’s Tedtalk while rejecting Darwin’s theory? Yes. One will be able to believe in intelligent Design while embracing Mr. Bawazer’s ideals. It is easy to see that Darwin’s theory is not longer accurate as we learn more about life at a molecular level. Darwin talked about a cell as a blob of goo. Not holding very much

    Christian Science The basic philosophy of Christian Science is idealism. “Nothing is real and eternal; nothing is spirit- but God and his ideal; evil has no reality.” The primary theme of The Bible is that spiritual power always triumphs over material power. As a result‚ illness is not real. Instead‚ it is simply a failure of faith and this can be documented‚ “scientifically‚” in the lives of those who have genuine faith. Christian Science was discovered and founded by Mary Baker Eddy. “The

This discipline sometimes overlaps metaphysics‚ ontology and epistemology. Philosophy of science has historically been met with mixed response from the scientific community. Though scientists often contribute to the field‚ many prominent scientists have felt that the practical effect on their work is limited (Babich‚ 1994). A paradigm is a world view‚

    Sociology as a Science Similar to other classes like Biology‚ Chemistry‚ and Physics‚ Sociology is a science. It is considered a science because sociologists use logical methods to uncover information about the social world (basically it is used to gain awareness and comprehension of how societies use and fallow trends and patterns). Like other sciences‚ sociology fallows systematic approaches when asking questions‚ forms theories to see if they can pertain to data‚ and then comes to a logical conclusion
