Essays on Scientific Method

A research design is considered as a guide or framework for analysis, implementation, and planning of research or a study. It is the guide used in answering the hypothesis or the research question. Obtaining information in social science relevant to the research problem calls for the specification of the type...

Maslow Hierarchical needs theory is a motivation theory comprising of a five-tier model in psychology. The theory states that human beings have an inherent desire to achieve specific needs.

Currently, the American Psychology Association (APA) have become more strict with ethical rules and regulations unlike in the past where psychologist like Stanley Milligram from Yale University had an opportunity to conduct experiments which would be today considered unethical. The Milligram experiment was one held to test obedience to authority...

Nozick's Theory of Justice Nozick’s theory of justice claims that, by examining its history, one can determine if goods have been distributed in a just way or not. Unlike, John Rawls theory of justice based on original agreements and structure of the society (Feibleman, 207), Nozick’s argument is historically based. The...

Aristotle’s theory is principally presented in his publication, ‘De Anima’ simply translating as ‘On the Soul’. Aristotle defines the soul as an individual kind of nature, a...

This paper is based on an experiment of establishing the consistency, density, and compressive strength of concrete. The experiment involves casting of 12 sets of concrete cubes to with three different water to cement ratios. Therefore, four sets of cubes are prepared using one W/C ratio. The essence of making...

The smooth flow in pipes can be divided into laminar and turbulent flow using the critical velocity. The flow pattern is determined by the diameter of the pipe, flow rate, density and viscosity (Assefa and Kaushal). Thus a set of dimensionless groups can be determined using the following variables Where  is the...

Ø To investigate the spring constants of springs in series and parallel arrangements. Ø To investigate the Spring Constant of two different springs. INTRODUCTION In this laboratory exercise we were conduct an experiment to determine the spring constant of a spring and then investigate the effect of putting the spring in...

Hooke’s Law explains the behaviour of the spring and other linearly elastic objects. According to the Hooke’s Law, the stress is always directly proportional to the strain. The aim of the Hooke’s Law experiment was to investigate and verify Hooke’s Law and the acceleration due to gravity with a linearly...

Social Theories Social theories have proved to be vital in the contemporary society. In particular, social theories have attempted to explain patterns or human actions in societies such as why people act in the way they do, functions of certain institutions, as well as how and why societies change. Karl Marxist...
