Introduction Newton’s three laws of motion for several decades remained a matter of course. Until 1905, the physicist Einstein published a paper questioning the accuracy of these laws, which are now known as the Special Theory of Relativity, followed by the General Theory of Relativity, Its lack of understanding, where this understanding was based primarily on Newton’s law of gravity. The theory of relativity states that the laws of physics do not change and are the same everywhere. The theory...

Control theory is an approach in criminology which attempts to answer the question “why don’t people commit crime?” by highlighting the importance of the relationship between delinquents and their social group- the bond they have with society. The origins of control theory can be linked back to Aristotle who sought to answer the question of “Why do people obey society?”; he believed that “when there is an appearance of profit or pleasure from breaking the laws, that makes men break...

If I had to choose a theory of human development that best fits my viewpoint, I would select Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Theory. This theory is very interesting because of its concreteness and good sense. I found that it stems from psychodynamic theory which explains similarities and differences in human’s development at different ages and their abilities to solve problems and conflicts. There is a slight difference between psychodynamic and Ecological theory. According to psychodynamic theory, a person develops through overcoming barriers...

Public policy making is essential in making sure that the government is guided in order to reach rational decisions. It is there to give clarity to the internal and external stakeholders on how an organization operates (in this context the government), how resources will be allocated, and how everything will operate in a country. Public policy can also be defined as “a relatively stable, purposive course of action followed by an actor or set of actors in dealing with a...

An image is but a “window through which we look out into a section of the visible world” (Richter, Wells & Kemp, 2008, p102). But what of this visible world and that of the viewer? To begin questioning “what we see and what we know” (Berger, 2008, p.7), is to watch 70s revolutionary broadcast Ways of Seeing by John Berger. The program, later adapted into a book, are both highly successful in liberating image, freeing them of what is merely...

When it comes to the muted group theory, the concept is fairly simple. It states that those who hold the power in a room tend to have their ideas communicated better and those who do not have such strong language hold less power. When the more powerful groups are conversing, the other groups must find themselves changing their communication style in order to adapt to those of power. In regards to the movie ‘Legally Blonde’, the entire plot of the...

A sociological theory is a concept in which sociologists have created in order to give themselves and others a deeper insight into the world of sociological thinking. There are three main theories. These theories are functionalism, symbolic interactionism and conflict theory. The functionalism and the conflict theories are macro, which means they look at the big picture of things and use a general consensus to gain information, and Symbolic interactionism is micro, which means the small picture where information can...

If you’ve studied science, or you’re studying science, you’ve probably asked yourself a hundred questions about the difference of things. You would have asked the difference between law and principle. You would have wondered about how compounds and mixtures are varied. You would have questioned the distinction between weight and mass. Science, admittedly, is a complex subject because it encompasses the entirety of the universe. The universe definitely is the most complicated and multifaceted topic one can ever dig into,...

Are you here to know, how is a scientific hypothesis different from a scientific theory? Many a time there exists bewilderment amid both the terminologies that will be discussing shortly.

Still, the difference between hypothesis and scientific theory remains a...

Our society is ruled by a massive number of social norms that we follow in our everyday lives. Social norms are these unwritten rules put into place by the society around us about what behavior, thoughts or feelings are appropriate within a given circumstance. These norms influence our actions in our everyday lives without any of us knowing how much however we do notice if one of these norms is broken. For example, when in public and someone sneezes you...

Introduction The discovery of science started to happen from the discovery of atoms and metals throughout the human genomic mapping. Observations started about 500 BC when the Mesopotamians were explaining that earth is the centerpiece of the universe and everything revolves around it. The great Greeks were the first people to observe and explain the theory behind the nature of science, such as the Pythagoras theorem. It was also them that came up with the understanding that earth and everything...

We live in a time when media rapidly changes. These changes often influence how cultures are shaped. As consumers and creators of culture, we should seek and develop a deeper understanding of the ideas that surround us. The story between religion and science is always changing. For example, where they meet, when they disconnect, and what this relationship will look like as ideas advance. This topic is one that is increasingly important and interesting to society as a whole. The...

Basic assumptions and postulations of the social responsibility theory This theory, considered a western theory incorporates a part of the libertarian principle and introduces some new elements as well. The underlying principle of the social responsibility theory of the press is that the press should be free to perform the functions that the libertarian theory granted it the freedom to perform, but that this freedom should be exercised with responsibility (Okunna & Omenugha, 2012). If the media fail to satisfy...

In this paper, I shall attempt to discuss personal identity and the different theories of personal identity. I shall make the particular case of the Cartesian theory, and provide a refutation against the soul theory, and a counter-refutation to the same from Indian philosophical thought. Personal identity theory is a philosophical investigation into the concept of self. Decoding the problem of personal identity means exploring the concept of the persistence of “entities”. Truthmaker theory establishes a link between the truth...

I will argue my point below in a balanced argument. Plato`s Theory of Forms consists of the idea that there are two realms The Realm of the One and the Realm of the Many. He believed that the perfect forms, which are the perfect version of things we see and can touch, are...

“No human….at work” -Ania Loomba, (Indian scholar) Colonialism/Postcolonialism Many literary works have a sense of “greater authority” or “identity loss” in them, and it is exactly this that makes them akin to colonialist literature, even when at first glance, the books seem to do nothing with postcolonialist literary theory. In Catch 22, we see this element of Postcolonialist theory through representations of oppressors, non-oppressors and the immoral “other”, a role of language that supports this power dynamic, and identity loss...

In New Zealand, “the proportion of children meeting...

They also provide recommendations for addressing these influences in schools before they reach catastrophic levels. The first...
