Christian Worldview Paper 1 Tracey L. Maye Liberty University Christian Worldview Paper 1 Science is a rational quest that consists of not only observations and data collection but to also analyze data and use it to comprehend the world we live in. Scientific methods are successions of steps that assist in obtaining and studying the data, to seek truth and incorporate our knowledge. It is a technique for experimentation, implemented to examine observations that provide answers for scientific questions. In modest terms, it is a procedure that encompasses questioning and responding to scientific questions through interpretive experiments. Therefore, it supports a focus for fair science project questions, hypothesis, and designs that perform and assess the experiment.
Do political parties help or hinder democracy in the UK Political parties can be seen to help and hinder democracy in the UK, however in my opinion I feel that they help democracy more than hinder it, as political parties give the electorate a varied range of choice along with many other democracy enhancing factors. One of the main reasons as to why I believe political parties help democracy is because they provide the general public with a diverse choice of ideologies that can gain power, ranging from the conservative party to the monster raving loony party. The electorate can vote for a candidate in a party that they feel shares their beliefs. However, some people may argue that the three main parties (conservative, liberal democrat and labour) have all moved very central and now share similar ideologies detracting from the idea of “choice”. To this I would say that the parties may have centralised slightly, but their core values still exist, which is what most people are interested in.
It must be scientifically tested by the peers and the peers must also review it. 4. In its decision in Daubert v. Marrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., who did the U.S. Supreme Court charge with ensuring that an expert’s testimony rests on a reliable foundation and is relevant to the case? Frye set the standards for,” Admitting scientific testimony in a federal trial.” (Daubert v. Marrell Dow Pharmaceuticals Inc.) 5. What is the main difference between the testimony given by an expert witness and that given by a lay witness?
Although today scientists and theoreticians argue about variations applicable to specific problems, the scientific method has been accepted as the basis of scientific inquiry. www.HOLscience.com 17 ©Hands-On Labs, Inc.
However they do have the ability to make suggestions to possibly amend the law through highlighting flaws. The judiciary cannot make judgments past the jurisdiction of the law even in interests of natural justice. A strong example of this was the Belmarsh Case, where judges believed the system of holding foreigners against the will under the anti-terrorism act contradicted with human rights. This law was subsequently changed. This could pose some doubt as to the judges power, as although they can not officially change laws, they clearly have the power to suggest changes with ease, and some could argue that despite Lord Neuberger’s claims, they do indeed undermine parliamentary sovereignty through their suggestion of changes.
In fact, Lehner observes, groups in which a sense of false consensus prevails have a lower quality of efficiency than in groups where criticism of ideas is encouraged. The bottomline is that we need to have an intellectual balance in society. Universities should take the lead in promoting this trend. Having traditionally been known as centers of knowledge and laboratories of new ideas, It is time universities took the rediscovered the spirit of debate. Armed with vast resources of information, and brimming with some of the most brilliant minds in the world, universities certainly have ample potential to be at the forefront of heralding this change in society.
Some go so far as to advocate direct democracy, in which the people, not their representatives, vote directly on legislation. However, an educated electorate is necessary for the success of any democracy, and there is a real question as to whether the public is educated or informed enough to vote directly on the nuts and bolts of government policies. What do liberals believe about the constitution? Liberals note that constitutions and their amendments are passed just like other laws: after extensive debate and by a vote of the people's elected representatives. The only difference is that constitutional amendments are much harder to pass than laws, because they require a two-third's majority in Congress and a three-fourth's majority of the
When conducted honestly and thoroughly, the scientific method can and has provided valuable information about the world and the world’s people (Jackson, 2009). Though some people rely on other methods for gaining knowledge, scientists only accept knowledge gained through science to arrive at plausible truths (Jackson, 2009). Due in part to human error and the tendency of human nature to succumb to temptations to bias research, the results of the scientific method should be viewed with skepticism (Garzon, n.d.). The scientific method of seeking knowledge and finding truth must stay within the limits of scientific ability and allow for human fragility in order to be effective (Slick, 2012). References Garzon, F. (n.d.).
Although i believe many things from both people, I would have to say my philosophy would be Jefferson’s philosophy because he believed every word of the Constitution. It does not make sense to compose an important document that is beneficial to the people, and not stand by it. That's like being a teacher who composes a set of classroom rules and does not enforce them. 8.) I believe Adams was a great president because he managed to keep George Washington’s policy of remaining neutral and staying isolated.
Presidents use their appointees to cement their legacy, trying to choose individuals who share their ideology. I know that has become a dirty world in how the government uses to interpret the law, but right now, there is a very bright line separating conservative and progressive issues. One should nominate someone who believes in the same causes he or she does. Choosing a nominee who is not, already a judge has the advantage of giving less fodder to the opposition, because she has no opinions available for scrutiny. On the other hand, she could turn out to be something other than the president expected.
