Theories in the Human Sciences and Natural Sciences Essay -- Scientifi
What it is about the theories of human sciences and natural sciences that make them so convincing? When focusing on the human sciences and natural sciences, one might wonder why we believe what we believe. In general, human science can be defined as a social science, or anything that deals with human behavior in its social and cultural aspects (Bastian 190). Natural science is more often thought of as "regular" science. It is an organized undertaking that focuses on gathering knowledge about the world and condensing that knowledge into scientific laws and theories that can be tested (Bastian 153). Theories in these two types of sciences are often convincing because of the observation that takes place, the empirical evidence, and the ability to put the theories and laws to the test. This knowledge by description, which is defined as public knowledge that is expressed as facts, as well as knowledge by acquaintance, knowledge from familiarity or experience, can also be contributing factors in why we believe what we believe (Bastian 18). However, there are some knowledge issu es, as well as counterclaims that may interfere with someoneââ¬â¢s belief and perspective on a certain topic. Also, some of our ways of knowing can play a role in different interpretations of theories in these sciences. These aspects can help answer the topic question of what it is about the theories of human sciences and natural sciences that make them so convincing. In science, a theory is a tested and testable idea which is used to provide an explanation for an occurrence (Scientific Laws and Theories). Very similarly, a law can be defined as a set of observations that are expressed in an abridged statement (Scientific). An example of a law in nat... ..., whether that is through their own observations and interpretations or through empirical evidence that can be convincingly backed up by scientific data.

Appreciation of ââ¬ËThe Tygerââ¬â¢ Essay
Subject matter Blake is this poem gives a description of the tiger, describing vividly its appearance, its structure, its beauty and its terror. As well as describing the tiger, the poet also tries to explain how he pictures the creation of the tiger, as well as the terror of the creator (who created such a fearsome and awesome creature). Purpose The poetââ¬â¢s purpose in this poem is to describe something that fascinates him. The tiger in his view is a powerful, yet beautiful creature, a creature so powerful that it is terrifying. However, the poet also attempts to comprehend its creator, God. He shows that if the creation is powerful and terrifying, and asks the question how powerful must be the creator? The poet clearly expresses that he is very afraid of the power of God, and what God is able to do. Throughout the poem the poet expresses his admiration, his wonder and his fear, this poem is as much a study of the tiger as a study of God. Emotion Though the poem is mostly descriptive, the poet gives the reader some clues of the emotions that he feels. On the face of this poem, it seems to be a poem about a nature. However, looking further into the poem one can see that the poem is a very religious poem. One of the most dominant emotion that one can feel when reading the poem is the wonder and awe. Whether it is at the tiger or at God, Blake shows much wonder; as shown in the extract in verse 1: ââ¬ËAnd what shoulder & what art, Could twist thy heart?ââ¬â¢ Blake describes the colours of the tigerââ¬â¢s fur as ââ¬Ëburningââ¬â¢, as though the fur of the tiger was a fire itself. This fire is carried on into verse two where Blake describes that there is a fire burning in the eyes of the tiger.. In line 3 and 4 of verse 1 Blake turns his attention to the creator: ââ¬ËWhat immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry.ââ¬â¢ His wonders about what the hands and eyes of God are like. Blake sees the tiger as a creation of a great craftsman, a work of art. The most important parts of a craftsman are his eyes and his hands. They are a craftsmanââ¬â¢s most important tools, allowing him to craft the image he has in his imagination. This idea could have been influenced by Blakeââ¬â¢s work as a engraver. The other dominant emotion in the poem is the fear shown by Blake. His is very afraid of the tiger. Yet his is even more afraid of God the creator of such an awesome beast. This is a sometimes a feature of Christians to be ââ¬ËGod-fearingââ¬â¢ people. This fear can be seen in the following extracts: ââ¬ËWhat dread hand? & what dread feet?ââ¬â¢ ââ¬ËIn what furnace was thy brain?ââ¬â¢ ââ¬ËDare its deadly terrors claspââ¬â¢ The extracts above show how much Blake fears the tiger. He is afraid of the tigerââ¬â¢s claws, and the image in Blakeââ¬â¢s mind is a beast created from the furnace of heaven and hammered out by a master craftsman. This dreaded ferocious inspires much fear in Blake, even though he admires its beauty ââ¬ËWhat immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry.ââ¬â¢ Blake tries to imagine the power required to create the tiger. He tries to picture what being could create the tiger. The picture of this powerful and yet very skilful craftsman is very daunting to Blake. What person would dare take this fearsome beast out of the furnaces, hammer it into an elegant yet very potent shape. What person could twist the shape of the sinews of the tigerââ¬â¢s heart and create a burning fur coat and burning eyes? The image of this creation is very frightful to Blake, let alone the God, the person who hammered, twisted, and shaped this beast. It should also be noted the ââ¬Ëcouldââ¬â¢ was replaced with ââ¬Ëdareââ¬â¢. This shows that first Blake only thought about the ability, skill, power and strength needed to create the tiger. Later on at the end of the poem, Blake is thinking about the nerve and the daring required to create the tiger. Craftsmanship Structure The poem has a very regular structure, it is divided into six stanzas, each with four lines. The first stanza is repeated in the last stanza but ââ¬Ëcouldââ¬â¢ in line four is replaced with ââ¬Ëdareââ¬â¢. Each line is approximately the same length in words and syllables. Each stanza is used to address one point about God or the tiger. The poem seems also to be structured in the thought process of the poet. First he looks at the tiger itself, describing its prominent features. The poem then tries to picture the creation process of the tiger, and the workshop of this great craftsman. The poet then tries to move on to this creator or craftsman himself. He wonders whether God was content with this creation, and wonders about the more heavenly creature: the stars and the angels. Language The language used in the poem is very vocative. Throughout the poem the poet seems to be talking to the tiger. He seems to be enquiring about the origins of the tiger: ââ¬ËWhat the hammer? What the chain? In what furnace was thy brain?ââ¬â¢ He is asking the tiger as though the tiger is a friend of the poet (the use of thou and thee). The poet seems to the reader as a thinker trying to find out the answer to a very difficult question. The poet is asking questions that can not be answered for very little is known about God. The language is also very striking, very vivid and effective. The language catch the readerââ¬â¢s attention and is imaginative. It is very appropriate to the poem itself, the language increases the fear and adds effect to the wonder. The words does deliver the message that the poet intends. Much of the language helps to strike the fear into the minds of the readers. When reading this poem, one can not help but feel a sense of awe to the tiger and God. Imagery In the poem there are no striking examples of similes and metaphors, but the poet does use a large amount of personification. He personifies God as a craftsman or a blacksmith: ââ¬ËAnd what shoulder & what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? The poet seems to apply his own life experiences to his image of God. He sees God as this craftsman working by a furnace like himself. He sees the material the God uses to create as metallic. In the process of creation, God works like a blacksmith, heating the metal until the critical point is reached, the metal is then taken out and hammered into shape. This process repeats until the perfect shape is reached. Once the work is finished, God must be pleased and proud of his creations like other artists. The poet also personifies the tiger, addressing the tiger as if the tiger was able to understand him. He asks the tiger questions as though the tiger was able to answer him and explain to him what the poet does not understand. The poet also personifies the stars: ââ¬ËWhen the stars threw down their spears , And watered the heavens with their tears;ââ¬â¢ The poet sees the stars as the angels of heaven, throwing down their weapons and crying at such a wonderful creation. The poet makes the reader see God as a human with tow sides, power and the strength represented by the tiger, while the gentle caring side represented by the lamb. This in many ways is the symbolism used throughout the poem by the poet. Movement There is not real rhythm or movement to the poem itself. There are no real rhythmic qualities in the poem. However, when read out loud, the poem should be read out slowly, and loudly. This adds to the effect of the poem, it gives one more time to process the carefully chose words. It would make the poem more effective and allow the listener to truly appreciate the poem. Sounds The most significant sound feature of the poem is its rhyming scheme. Each stanza rhymes in the form of AABB, with the exception of the last line of the first and last stanza of the poem. The poet uses neither onomatopoeia nor alliteration nor assonance. In fact the poem uses very little sound features. I do however think that onomatopoeia could have been used to help the reader to imagine the sounds of this great workshop that Blake pictures in his mind. It would help the reader reach a better level of understanding. It would have also made the poem more affective. The poem is very strong with the visual part of the imagery, however, without the sounds, the perception of the poetââ¬â¢s idea is incomplete. For example, if the poet included the bangs, clangs of the workshop, or even included the growls and the roars of the tiger. This would have increased oneââ¬â¢s sense of wonder and awe. Other sound features such as alliteration and assonance, I feel, would not have been as effective and would not have helped the understanding of the poetââ¬â¢s imagination. Summary The poem has had a very strong impact on me. The poem has made me aware that the world is made up of fierceness and strength (shown in the tiger) as well as gentleness and peace (as shown in the lamb). Blakeââ¬â¢s tiger is a very terrifying and dynamic creation, which apart from being seen to represent the fiercer side of God, could also be seen to represent the forces of evil lurking in our world. This evil seems to be able to hide in the cover of the darkness of the night, and haunts our minds through our dreams and especially our nightmares. Blakeââ¬â¢s lamb (Did he who made the lamb also make thee?) apart from being a symbol of Gods gentle and loving side, can also be seen as a symbol of all the good in the world; the caring, the love and the kindness shown in Jesus Christ himself. The poem, as I have already noted, is a very visual poem. Though it is read, the poem inspires us to try and picture what he sees. The words of the poem create very vivid, clear and striking images in the reader or listenerââ¬â¢s minds. We see dynamic beast with awesome features, a skilful and great craftsman working laboriously in his great workshop. Inside the workshop burns a great furnace with huge and very hot fire. The craftsman hammers and twists the shape of the creation, and when finally he has completed this marvellous work, he is proud and smiles. The angels around this creator all weep and throw down their weapons at the sight of this marvel. The only flaw that I have noted is the lack of use of sound features. This poem, as I have already mentioned, would more complete if the reader can hear the sounds of the workshop and hear the weeps of the angels or even the deafening roars of the tiger as it first leaps out of the furnace as a complete creation. This does not flaw the poem in a significant way, but I feel that it would improve the poem and make the poem more effective Blake made use of sound features.

Character Analysis of Romeo in William Shakespeareôs Romeo...
Romeo, at the beginning of the play, is a love-struck, immature, and impulsive young man. In the beginning of the play, Romeo believes that he has found the person and place ââ¬Å"where I am in loveâ⬠speaking of Rosaline, a girl who he barely knows (I.i). Romeo is love-struck and impulsive, saying that about Rosaline after just meeting her. Romeo doesnââ¬â¢t know what real love is, he is just an immature young man who doesnââ¬â¢t see reality as it is. Towards the end of the scene, Romeo sees a new girl named Juliet and questions if his ââ¬Å"heart {has} loved till nowâ⬠(I.v). Romeo forgets and moves on from girls he ââ¬Å"lovedâ⬠very quickly making him immature and an impulsive lover. He ââ¬Å"lovesâ⬠the prettiest girl he see without even meeting her. Overall,â⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦The new couple barely knows each other, but they still are taking each other hand in marriage for the rest of their lives. This is because they are both blinded by the thought of love so much so they believe their love is real even though they met less than twelve hours ago. Romeo believes ââ¬Å"Juliet is the sun,â⬠based on her appearance he feels she glows bright just like the sun (II.ii). Romeo love is based off looks and not personality or passion. This is because a ââ¬Å"young menââ¬â¢s love then lies not truly in their heart but in their eyes,â⬠(II.iii). Overall Romeo and Juliets love is artificial because they barely even know each other and its all about appearance. The desire to have or receive what we want is inevitable, although that desire can lead people to do the unthinkable against their state of nature. As the desperation for what the person wants grows, many resort to doing illegal actions in order to receive what they are craving for. In Romeo and Juliet, they both resort to illegal drugs to receive the freedom and death they want, which is against their state of nature. In real life, most people steal objects they canââ¬â¢t buy or have, acting on their desires. Against their state of nature people also use words to manipulate another person to receive what they are longing for.

Constitutions, Whether Democratic, Transitional, Or...
Constitutions, whether democratic, transitional, or authoritarian among others, all serve a few common goals and purposes. The most recognizable purposes of a constitution typically include political and social structure in the form of judicial and legislative processes and civil rights. The goal is often to guide, give, and limit power in ways that benefit the current political elites and limit their potential rivals. Just as Galligan and Versteeg wrote in Theoretical Perspectives, ââ¬Å"One of the primary goals of any constitution, after all, is to create, channel, and monitor power.â⬠These pieces of the constitutional puzzle are an integral part of what makes a constitution a sort of ââ¬Å"power mapâ⬠. A constitution is in large part a countryââ¬â¢s,â⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦This is the same concept in the case of ââ¬Å"wing clippingâ⬠by elite constitution makers. Given a situation where the current powerful political party is concerned about losing pow er to their opposing party, the powerful political party will include a series of restraints in the constitution to prevent the other party from having excessive powers, or enough power to accomplish anything against the current status quo. It is a form of political insurance that many constitution makers, like those of Portugal in the mid-1970s, take advantage of (20, Gilligan and Versteeg). It is also important to note in the analysis of the ââ¬Å"power mapâ⬠that timing and political events play an important role in shaping the structure of a constitution. Elites losing power, as suggested by Hirschl, or major transitions that induce electoral uncertainty as suggested by Ginsburg, are often causes of constitutional change. Hirschl claims that this creates a constitution that reflects the interests of the losing elites, while just as reasonably, Ginsburg proports that the constitution will be a document of constraints caused by electoral uncertainty. In reality, a constituti on is often a mixture of both interests and constraints. Sometimes these interests are entrenched into the constitutional document as values, removing them from the scope of ordinary legislature and discreetly preserving theShow MoreRelatedThe Arab Spring : A New Movement1587 Words à |à 7 Pagesand high unemployment created by their authoritarian governments.

The Cold Blood A Critical Analysis - 1965 Words
In Cold Blood: A critical analysis ââ¬Å"There are two kinds of people - those who are changing and those who are setting themselves up to be victims of change.â⬠You can rephrase the above statement in a thousand different ways. One might divide people into two groups, ââ¬Å"goodâ⬠and ââ¬Å"badâ⬠, the simplest of ways to categorize people. Then again, one could categorize people into two different groups, ââ¬Å"people who like baseballâ⬠and ââ¬Å"people who dislike baseballâ⬠. Like I said, you can say it in a thousand different ways. However, for one man, Truman Capote, the dividing line between two people was a rather complex one. In regard to a personââ¬â¢s ethos, if you will, an individual is not ââ¬Å"born intoâ⬠a certain role in society, rather society determines oneââ¬â¢s role. That being said, the point I am trying to drive home is that, Capote firmly believes that Perry was not born a criminal, after all, how is it even possible to be born a criminal? Since everyone is born with a clean slate, you canââ¬â¢t literally be born a criminal, although some people theorize that you can be born with criminal-like characteristics; Truman Capote was not one of those people. Capote believes that society shapes an individual, and it has nothing to do with genetics. Perry Smith became a ââ¬Å"criminalâ⬠not on the grounds that he was ââ¬Å"born that wayâ⬠, rather by cause of the experiences he endured during his adolescence.

Goal Veterinarian free essay sample
As a child and grandchild of veterinarians, I have always had an interest in animals and their health. Ever since I can remember, I have been following my father around his office to observe, learn and help. One dark rainy night when I was ten, his beeper sounded around dinner time. When he called the concerned owner, I heard his half of the conversation. ââ¬Å"Hit by a car canââ¬â¢t walk, and sheââ¬â¢s bleeding? Can you be at the office in ten minutes?â⬠Dad asked, looking at his watch. Before he could say another word, I barged in and asked if I could go with him. He agreed, and we went to set up the office for emergency work. Carrying her ââ¬Å"baby,â⬠the anxious owner arrived in eight minutes and was a wreck, as anyone would be. The dog, Brandy, was a mixed breed, about 60 pounds and young. Wet and bloody, she was harmless despite her fear. We will write a custom essay sample on Goal: Veterinarian or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page We carried Brandy to the treatment room for Dad to examine her thoroughly as I held her still and comforted her the way he had taught me. The real doctor worked quickly and carefully as the amateur one observed in amazement. The x-rays I took as Dad held Brandy on the table determined that she had no breaks or fractures. A sigh of relief came from the owner. We washed off the grime that covered Brandy and when she was all cleaned up, we could tell she was feeling a little better. She even licked my face as if she wanted to say, ââ¬Å"Thank you!â⬠With a soothing voice my dad told her owner, ââ¬Å"Sheââ¬â¢s going to be fine. Just a few cuts and scratches.â⬠He then told her about his bicycle crashes and all the road rash heââ¬â¢d had after his dates with the pavement. These anecdotes calmed and distracted the woman, and it was apparent that she left a lot looser than the tightly wound ball of panic she had been when she arrived. Weeks later, a letter arrived from Brandyââ¬â¢s owner. She thanked me for helping heal her baby and being there for her, too. Enclosed were two photos of Brandy as a puppy. Looking at them made me feel as if Iââ¬â¢d saved a life, that a puppy would be able to grow up and become a family dog, to be loved and give love back. It is one of those feelings that is indescribable. I have learned that there are emotional as well as medical factors in being a veterinarian. Emotionally, the pictures of Brandy cannot compare to the Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine I hope to earn. While the degree will state that I am capable of providing medical attention, the photographs come closer to the heart, saying, ââ¬Å"I helped her! I saved her!ââ¬
