An Analysis of Homan’s And Strauss’s Methods of Deriving the Meaning of Primitive Religion Bronislaw Malinowski and Arthur Reginald Radcliffe-Brown are, in some circles, considered the creators of modern anthropology particularly both had assisted in developing a theory and method that was established by the anthropologists of the midcentury as the “science of society”. However, major changes in the 1960s saw the reconceptualization of economics and politics as well as the emergence of new concepts that transformed anthropology. One particular academic who ushered the new age of thinking was Claude Levi-Strauss who revolutionized the discipline by bringing an epistemological break with earlier methods of study. This paper will compare two texts: George C. Homan’s “Anxiety and Ritual: The Theories of Malinowski and Radcliffe-Brown” and “The Structural Study of Myth by Claude Levi-Strauss”. It will analyze how the texts deal with a similar challenge but employ different approaches of dealing with the problem. The first text is an attempt by Homans to theoretically dispel the conflict between Malinowski and Radcliffe-Brown over the relationship between magic rituals and anxiety in different communities.…

The hypothesis can be directly observed (Wimmer and Dominick, 2013). the positivist paradigm is linked with the view of social reality is objective and external. Axiological beliefs represent the positivist research paradigm as etic. With the technician maintaining an objective stance about the data collected. In epistemology, the accumulated data and facts have enough knowledge (Wayhuni, 2012). In this case, positivism looks to resolve critical practical issues. It explores relationships through statistical analysis and searches for law-like generalizations. In this scenario, the positivist paradigm created as a technic that applies scientific methods to social phenomena or behavior. Consequently, it is supported by empirical data and logical reasoning. With the supporting evidence presents to be indisputable and authenticated (Creswell, 2013).

What is Options Trading? Introduction What is Options Trading? There are two significant ways you can trade options. The first involves buying the option itself and speculating on the price of the premium. The cost of the premium is going to fluctuate based on how the underlying stock moves so you can profit from these movements. For example, if you think a stock is going to go up, you can buy an in the money call, and as the stock rises, the intrinsic value increases as well. Thus, you benefit from the rise in the overall premium value. With a put, as the stock falls, the intrinsic value of the put rises, and so does its premium. Remember, you’re buying a put to benefit from the price drop (you’re not selling a put). The second method of speculating options is not to pay as much attention to the premium. What I mean is that you’re not concerned with the price rise in the underlying, you’re far more concerned with exercising the option. This involves an additional step, but if you…
