We cannot, of course, layout the entire history of such a discussion. however, it should supply us with the proper context for asking how such a question might be answered. The question, formulated as “does knowledge originate in the senses or in the mind?”, seems relatively straightforward. Yet, certain concepts, indicated by italics, have been the subject of philosophical debate for thousands of years. Certain terms need to be defined, in preparation—the terms of the question—in order to make progress. this process of definition will require considerable intellectual resources but is necessary to reaching the evaluative conclusions we seek. Once the definitions are in place, the complex question we are supposed to answer will be replaced with one conscious of the context of knowledge acquisition. And the answer to this question shall take us neither to advocate for reason nor to advocate for the experience but to an integration of the two traditions.

Before beginning, however, according to Voltaire, we must define our terms. Knowledge, of course, is the subject of an entire branch of philosophy known as epistemology. the senses are the main topic of a field known as the philosophy of perception, and the nature of the mind has been the subject of intense debate in the philosophy of mind since Socrates. Among these, knowledge is, without a doubt, the most difficult to define properly. Plato seemed to have the correct response by claiming it to be “justified true belief”, according to his dialogue the Theaetetus in which Socrates contends that belief is dissimilar to knowledge because of justification (Plato). However, this misinterpretation of Plato, who thought knowledge was actually a matter of recollection, became all but abandoned after a paper named “Is Justified True Belief Knowledge?” was published by philosopher Edmund Gettier. In it, Gettier proposed two counterexamples to “justified true belief”, one of which will concern us here. Consider that person X has applied for a position at a company, but actually (1) holds a justified belief that “person Y will get the job”, and (2) holds a justified belief that person Y has ten coins in her pocket. Thus, Person X validly concludes that “the person who will get the job has ten coins in his or her pocket”.

Such interviews will be done in the hopes of validating what previous studies have already established.

human relationships. In terms of physiological responses to romance, Kahn (2004) & Slater (2006) discussed the experimental studies of Dr Marazziti, a psychiatry professor and Helen Fisher, an anthropologist who show how their manipulation of variables proved that hormonal and biochemical changes occur as manifestations of behaviours related to triggering responses related to romance. Their studies conclude that levels of some hormones, like serotonin and oxytocin, gets altered in the early phases of a romance, but eventually goes back to normal after some time when the relationship gets more stable.

Their studies necessitated the use of special apparatus to measure such physiological responses. Fisher has done experiments on people “in love” by putting them in MRI machines and studying how their brain works when shown a photograph of their beloved ones. It was found out that the effect is stimulating the part of the brain associated with reward and pleasure and stimulates the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter responsible for creating intense energy, exhilaration, focused attention, and motivation to win rewards.

In some of the studies, participants’ self-reports provided definitions or descriptions of some constructs. An example is Feiring’s study on the “Concepts of Romance in 15-year old Adolescents” From Heiman’s teachings on Research methodology (2002), Feiring’s study seems to have skipped the step on the creation of a hypothetical construct on purpose because that is the meat of her study – to determine how adolescents conceptualize romance and share what they find attractive in prospective partners.

Levine et al (2006) used the constructs on love styles theorized by Lee (1977) as the backdrop of their study. T&nbsp.adopted was that individuals had tendencies towards a particular love style and this influenced their preferences in potential mates as well as how they initiated and intensified their romantic liaisons.&nbsp. Their research included three studies that explored the possibilities of intertwining the variables of love styles, preferences and communication styles in initiating and intensifying relationships.

In order to conduct extensive research, I will have to look for some of the most authoritative, sound, and reliable book, journal, and article resources to use as references in my research. Apart from helping me to have a baseline source of argument, it will enable me to produce excellent research which can be relied upon by the readers and anyone else who might be planning to conduct further research on this area. A careful selection of resources to use will definitely make my research to be accurate, valid, and credible. Therefore, a part of my two primary sources, I will have to add six more references to be used as secondary resources. These will enrich my research and makes it to be quite exhaustive.

This short story was written by Carver Raymond and published by the Atlantic Monthly Press in 1988. Here, Raymond Carver addresses several issues associated with the development of an unequal society. Carver argues, ‘The disparity existing within the society is based on the development of the opinion and the social segregation in the whole process.’ Likewise, racism has been passed over from slavery to the end incorporation of the current corporate racism as revealed in society.

When doing research about inequality in the USA, I would use it as one of my credible and authoritative resources. This is because it will provide me with adequate information about the causes of inequality in the country. Besides, it will enable me to take a journey through the challenging issues of inequality and racism. These are very important issues that need to be captured in my research.

This story is a product of extensive work by Raymond Carver. The 1983-published short story takes the reader through a journey of self-actualization. The story is minimal with only three characters namely the narrator, the main&nbsp.character’s wife, and the third party being the blind man Robert.&nbsp.

While undertaking a maintenance task, it is essential to make out and to trace the portion of code that requires altering depending on the perception that is acquired by executing the software and consultation with its use-cases. It is relatively easy to locate a portion of code that requires changing if the system is well documented and high-level documents can be traced to the source code. However, this is rarely the case since the only information available regarding the system is the source code itself. Such instances call for maintainers to read and scrutinize the source code, which may be time-consuming and tiresome since implementing a feature may entail multiple modules and classes.

In an attempt to decrease such a labour-intensive endeavour, various techniques have been developed to automatically identify the software’s features and to trace these features to the source code that executes them. Static analysis techniques are inadequate for an understanding of executables in a large software system and to establish its features, therefore, static analysis techniques ought to be accompanied by complementary dynamic analysis techniques. In most cases, this is completed by instrumenting the software code, executing its pertinent features via a prowler, and then analyzing the execution traces to establish the portions of the code that were executed by the features.

Using necessary tool support, this approach permits developers to situate the code of interest promptly and easily. It can also disclose run-time relationships between modules and between classes, including thread contacts for multi-threaded systems, which static analysis alone cannot detect.

Dynamic analysis is a method used to study the performance of software systems by running it and observing its actions. Despite the existence of techniques based exclusively on static information, hybrid techniques combining static and dynamic information offer a more precise or a quicker solution.&nbsp.

Teenagers are in a stage vulnerable to a variety of emotions. Biologically, their bodies undergo a number of changes, and their hormones trigger emotions that may be unfamiliar to them making it difficult to handle. Adolescence is a time when people may need a support system to help them understand many life situations that may be difficult to process.

It is alarming to note that adolescent depression is often related to suicide, the third leading cause of death for those aged 15-24. In 2002, 1531 youth between the ages of 15 and 19 committed suicide (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2005). According to the CDC Web site, “Adolescents and young adults often experience stress, confusion, and depression from situations occurring in their families, schools, and communities. Such feelings can overwhelm young people and lead them to consider suicide as a ‘solution’” (CDC, n.d.). Evans, Van Velsor, and Schumacher (2002) called adolescent depression “one of the most overlooked and undertreated psychological disorders” within this period of development (p. 211). A chilling statistic compiled by Columbia University: 60% to 80% of adolescents with depression go undiagnosed or untreated (Morais, 2007).

Depression is usually manifested with negative behaviors stemming from negative emotions. Sometimes, the person experiencing it is not even aware that he is undergoing depression. Brent and Birmaher (2002) noted that depression in both children and adolescents is not always featured by sadness, but rather takes the form of irritability, boredom, and the inability to find pleasure. Symptoms of depression may also vary depending upon the stage of adolescence. Younger adolescents may show more anxiety-related symptoms—clinging behaviors, unexplained fears, and physical symptoms—while older adolescents may experience a greater loss of interest and pleasure and also have more morbid thinking (Mondimore, 2002). Lewinsohn, Rhode, and Seeley (1998) found that nearly 89% of depressed adolescents reported disturbances in sleep. Other symptoms that were frequently reported included a disturbance in weight/appetite (79.5%) and anhedonia (77.3%).&nbsp.&nbsp.
