Human sciences

•Reason

Can we assume that human beings are rational animals?

Yes, as we are capable of making rational decisions that are considered ethical, thus making us Rational animals. eXAMPLE hUMANS DO Not eat other humans.

•Emotion

How can a social scientist avoid becoming emotionally involved?

iT CAN BE AVOIDED BY SHOWING NO EMOTION'S TO THE PATIENTS THAT THEY TEST ON. THIS WILL THEN REMOVE ANY EMOTIONAL CONNECTION TRYING TO BE MADE WITH THE PATIENT AND THE SCIENTIST. eXAMPLE: MILGRAM EXPERIMENT

Ethics

•How do ethical factors limit experiments?

bY PLACING LIMITING FACTORS THIS LIMITS PEOPLE'S UNDERSTANDING OF OTHER HUMANS, SINCE THERE ARE BOUNDARIES PLACED THAT PROHIBIT ANY TYPE OF deceit WE CAN NEVER KNOW THE FULL CONTEXT OF THE HUMAN BRAIN.

•Language:

Can questionnaire be written in a neutral language? 

It is depending on the person who is giving the question. Example of this can be seen by an experiment in which the questionnaire made up their own questions and told the answerers to answer their question, not knowing if that person knew it aswell

Natural Science part 2

1. When does an observation become scientific law? How many times should an experiment be conducted to make turn a hypothesis into a theory? 

It becomes a scientific law when it get's proven. Enough times to the point the results are consistent and reliable 




2. Is science created or discovered? 
It can be created however, I believe it is discovered as nothing can be created by man without the source of material's found on earth.


3. how reliable is your science textbook?
Yes, because the science textbook is full of proven laws and theories. However if a law or theory is disproven then the whole book will be re-written.

Answering questions

Human language can not be defined but can be explained as a way of talking about humans.

We think in languages as we have an inner voice and that voice will speak in the language you are comfortable with

Yes, As to them they have different opinions on the world compared to someone who has not been in his position.

Human language is more complex as we have evolved over time while animals are still in basic instinct of eat, prey and survive. I would think so as they might have found a name for something that other languages haven't.

No, because nowadays it is used as a tool for communication and if there is a word needed to be created it will be created.

Language.

Order claims of the article "Through the language Glass: How Words Colour Your World By Guy Deutscher."

1st order claim:  One fact it claims is that ancient languages never had a word for blue.
2nd claim: He states that there are cultures that don't have a name for blue and in my opinion I believe it is doesn't matter as for them they do not need a word for the color blue because it doesn't affect there personal lives making it redundant.

1) I have learned that there are more than one way to communicate. What came to my mind is that would there be any wars if everyculture kept there language to themselves.

2) Language is a form of communication. It is important as some cultures actually use more body language than language. Yes we speak differently if we speak more than one as we adopt some words and shape a different accent.

My late post

Hi, I am Hasan student in IB learning the ways of knowing and how we know for my first blog post I will be commenting on 5 senses which are:

• Nociception: Is the sensory nervous system's response to certain harmful or potentially harmful stimuli. An example would be the pain you feel when someone punches you.
• Chronoception: This is the sense of time. An example would be when you are late for work you feel the time is speeding up.
• Proprioception: Is the sensation of moving without having consciousness. An example would be a muscle spasm.
• Equilibrioception: Is the sense of balance, an example would be it helps humans and animals from falling over.
• Thermoception: The sense in which organism perceive temperature, an example would be when it is a hot day and you go outside you feel hot.

My claims on the article "Memory contaminates perception".

1st claim: The first claim I am going to make is that memory does contaminate perception and "How we feel affects how we see". I agree with that statement as you will see things in a negative aspect if you are feeling sad, furthermore, the affect happens to contaminate our memory because of our bias view on the matter at that time.

2nd claim: The second claim I am making is that our memory does try to fill in the gaps thus forcing a false image on the matter of what happened. A study was done to show whether the brain was reliable participants were asked to talk about the 9/11 incident 2 times first time was recently and second was a while back when it happened, the scientist determined that the participants said 2 closely resembling answers but were different in many small ways some incidents that were stated int he recent asking had never occurred.(the name and date of the study are unknown). 

To close the unit answer this "How reliable is sense and perception?"

It is not reliable as we have covered that memory can be faked and can manipulate your mind into pleasing yourself. Sense and perception are manipulated on a daily basis by magicians and illusionist, leaving the public in "AW" this proves that our senses and perception is not as reliable as we think it is and is only there to be manipulated in our liking so it is easier to understand, as we all know that humans fear what they do not understand and thus our minds try to cope with that fear by giving us false memory and perception.
