Discuss Locke’s distinction between primary and secondary qualities. John Locke’s distinction between primary and secondary qualities may not be as clear as he had intended. In fact, there are some features of his concept that I feel are not fully and clearly explained, or have flaws in them. I intend to discuss the distinction between primary and secondary qualities, and some of the flaws present in Locke’s concept. John Locke described an idea as whatever the immediate object of perception, thought or understanding is.
This theory starts from the idea that we seek consistency in our beliefs and attitudes in any situation where two cognitions are inconsistent. Leon Festinger proposed cognitive dissonance theory, which states that a powerful motive to maintain cognitive consistency can give rise to irrational and sometimes adaptive behavior. According to Festinger, we hold many cognitions about the world and ourselves; when they clash, a problem is , resulting in a state of tension known as cognitive dissonance. As the experience of dissonance is unpleasant, we are motivated to reduce or eliminate it, and achieve
Ways in which you communicaate us different depending who you are speaking too and also the purpose if it. while wirting is is imprtant thats communication is put correctly using correct speliing and things to encsure accuracy. 1.3 communication has an effect on the person you are communcatuing with. communction is a two ways process call 'an interaction'. its imprtant that any problems identified are delt with.
Wallace also strongly points out that we need to be “a little less arrogant” and not believe solely in our preconceived notions about things, because we usually tend to be wrong. We must be aware of our surroundings and learn how to control how and what we want to think. Wallace says that we get to decide what has meaning and what does not, and we must do this with awareness, an open mind, and give ourselves choices of how to view situations. Bertrand Russell tells readers in “The Problems of Philosophy” that unlike typical sciences where one discovers correct answers, we are constantly searching for the value of philosophy. Russell says that philosophy does not find right answers, but rather encourages thinking.
In addressing the epistemic quality of rhetoric, Robert Scott has said, “rhetoric may be the art of persuasion, that is, it may be seen from one angle as a practical capacity to find means to ends on specific occasions; but rhetoric must also be seen more broadly as a human potentiality to understand the human condition” (quoted in Brock et. al, 1990, p. 143). What constitutes rhetoric, then, is human symbol use that results in knowledge-formation, including, but not limited to, persuasive discourse, appeals to memory and historical inquiry. With these three elements--persuasion, memory and history--a unique form of rhetoric exists in the Korean War Memorial in Washington, D. C. Unveiled and dedicated on July 27, 1995, the Korean War Memorial sits opposite the Vietnam War Memorial on the other side of the reflection pool. The Korean Memorial was erected partially due to pressure from Korean veterans who felt neglected after the 1984 construction of the Vietnam War Memorial.
In the second scenario, qualitative research is utilized. It is research that focuses on the human experience through narrative descriptions and explanations of investigated phenomena, that emphasize non-numerical data (Polit & Beck, 2010). It is associated with a naturalistic paradigm in which subjectivity, inductive processing and contextualization are applied. These methods, in addition to the pursuit of in-depth understanding, serve as strengths of a qualitative design. However, researcher bias, time-consuming data collection and small sample sizes are its weaknesses.
When the self-concept and the actual experience of the organism itself are in opposition, the self loses contact with the actual organismic experience and gets filled with tensions. A very relevant concept that supports self-actualization as a need is Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. In
To best summarize, here is a quote of Milton Erickson on the Co-operation Approach quoted from pg.166-167 of “The Collected Papers, Volume I”: “Ericksons’s approach was first and foremost one of cooperation: Hypnosis should primarily be the outcome of a situation in which interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships are developed constructively to serve the purpose of both the hypnotist and subject. This cannot be done by following rigid procedures and fixed methods or by striving to reach a single specific goal. The complexity of human behaviour and its underlying motivation makes necessary a cognizance of the multitude of factors existing in any situations arising between two personalities engaged in a joint activity. (1952; in Rossi, 1980, pp 166-167). The hypnotist can only guide, direct,
Linehan drew from various behavior therapies and Zen principles. The word “dialectic” refers to opposing truths and can be traced to Socratic questioning. DBT focuses on integrating contradicting philosophies and creating a balance between acceptance and change. (Linehan, et al., 2006). Clients are validated for their experiences and feelings, but motivated to change behaviors.
He writes: “The subject of the Symposium is just that: the identity of the pursuit of the truly desirable and the comprehension of the truly real—the identity of desire and learning, of love and philosophy” (23). Noting that others have proposed rather strange views on the central
