Demarcation and Cooper’s Aims of Science Science education is a vital building block in the process of acquiring knowledge by a child. The inborn curiosity and desire to understand causes a child to be very inquisitive where they have exposure to new things and the environment. Children share some common characteristics with the real scientists. A scientist will seek to understand and explore new facts and theories that govern the world. A child will also find out and question why things are the way they are thus borrowing some traits that are common with the scientists. This is contrary to how high school students perceive science education. The students are not inquisitive and do not desire to comprehend concepts. The aim of cramming information and concepts instead of understanding the concepts. Memorizing concepts is what the high school students do in their attempt to apply the version of the scientific method. Memorizing of chunks of concepts greatly kills the creativity of the students. I would argue that the transformation of the scientific method by encouraging the practical application of knowledge…

Physiognomy theory Physiognomy theory states that human beings can be able to know a person’s character by just merely looking at their faces. According to the website https://longreads.com/2018/10/03/the-return-of-the-face/, this theory is similar to Phrenology. Many Europeans in the 19th century could not resist believing it despite clearly knowing that it is not valid. It is even very astonishing to discover that there are still many people in this present age who still believe this theory. This theory has been used to justify some evil vices in society, such as racism. Physiognomy has something tribal about it since what a person sees in someone’s face depends on who they are. Having a black face is viewed as different from having a white face.  Physiognomy is liberal, and thus this theory is untrue, and there needs to be a universal way of reading faces without being a narcissist. Physiognomic thinking thrives in negative judgment and especially when dealing with political leaders. The world is advancing technologically, and Artificial Intelligence, which is the art of creating cognitive machines, has been the hallmark of…

Luke 2 Report Phenomenology refers to studies about consciousness frameworks as experienced from a first-person perspective. The central objective of the philosophy is direct description and investigation of phenomena as it is consciously experienced without any theoretical frameworks about causal explanations and is also free from presuppositions and preconceptions (Arnette, 2017). As a discipline, it is related but distinct from other major disciplines in philosophy, including epistemology, ontology, ethics, and logic. Further, hermeneutics refers to the methodology of interpretation of philosophical and biblical texts. Accordingly, phenomenology and hermeneutics can be used to explore the lived experiences of being in a relationship with Jesus during Christ’s time on earth, as reported in the Gospel of Luke. The account provides Christ’s portrayal, his deeds during his ministry, and the significance of Luke’s account. In Luke ‘s perspective, Jesus is portrayed as an enormously powerful figure as he plays a variety of roles, including benefactor, savior, healer, and prophet. At the onset, Jesus comes to the scene straight from the Old Testament as prophet Isaiah (Attridge, 1998). Jesus displays many powers to validate his…

Free Will vs. Determinism in Philosophical Counselling Part 1: Theories of Counselling Cohen (2000) approaches determinism on the premise that all behavior has a force that drives it, and it can, therefore, be predicted. He asserts that free will is just an illusion, and human behavior can be prompted or governed by either internal or external forces over which they can control. This section reviews the concept of free will and determinism in humanistic counseling and elaborates on the extent to which human behavior is the outcome of forces over which they have not to control or whether an individual is able to decide for himself/herself whether to behave or act in a particular way. Cohen (2000), in chapter 11, cites three theories that can be employed in professional counseling, which include the rationale emotive behavior theory, person-centered theory, and transactional analysis theory. Transactional analysis theory gives an optimistic approach to counseling concerning human nature. Ti entails four primary areas of predicting and understanding human behavior, including structural analysis, game analysis, transactional analysis, and script analysis. It perceives humans as…

Qualitative and Quantitative Research Question 1 While undertaking Research, scholars often find themselves in a fix in differentiating between Qualitative Research and Quantitative research methods since, to many, they make a mistake of using the two terms interchangeably, which usually distorts the meaning of the intended message. The two words have different rights from their purpose. Qualitative Research refers to exploratory Research. Most researchers use Qualitative Research to understand any underlying opinions, motivations, and reasons (Firestone, 1987). Therefore researchers use Qualitative Research if they need to have insight into a specific problem or when they need hypotheses or ideas developed for a potential Quantitative Research (Yilmaz, 2013). Quantitative Research, on the other hand, is used when a problem needs to be quantified. Quantification can be done by a generation of numerical data or data which can be used or instead transformed into useful statistics (McCusker & Gunaydin, 2015). Quantitative Research helps researchers to quantify defined variables such as attitudes, opinions, behaviors, and more (McCusker,& Gunaydin, 2015). It is through the use of measurable data that Quantitative Research helps researchers formulate…
