accounts for the contributions scientists have made to the field of science. Barry plays an important role in shaping the perspective of a scientist and the importance of a scientist. Bary’s use of repetition to give importance to certainty and uncertainty and the diction used to give value to a scientist helps the reader to perceive the scientist’s point of view. Firstly‚ Barry used repetition to give importance to certainty when he states "Certainty creates strength. Certainty gives one something

Individualism vs Collectivism In essence this dimension deals with the relationship between the individual and the collectives in a given society. It is reflected in the way in which people live together. For example‚ nuclear families‚ extended families‚ tribes and other larger communities. It directly effects peoples values and behaviours.

scale 3. An estimate of the uncertainty of the measurement. The numerical value of a laboratory measurement should always be recorded with the proper number of significant figures. The number of significant figures depends on the instrument or measuring device used and is equal to the digits definitely known from the scale divisions marked on the instrument plus one estimated or “doubtful” digit. The last‚ estimated‚ digit represents the uncertainty in the measurement and indicates
