1. Summary
A few ways that human get knowledge is authority, Experience, logic, tradition, science….
Four essential elements of the scientific method: Characterization, Hypothesis, Prediction, Testing. And repeating that methods.
Social studies include quantitative(We can measure and quantify social phenomena.) and qualitative studies.
Science is a social enterprise. New scientific research is accepted in society only if it is reasonable within the supposition and scientific beliefs of the existing society.
2. What was interesting / What did you learn
New scientific research is accepted in society only if it is reasonable within the supposition and scientific beliefs of the existing society. Science cannot be just objective or without the scientists’ value. Because every decision a scientist makes depends ultimately on subjective reality. Objectivity is nothing but the ideal. Correlation is not causative.
3. Discussion Point
Why is it called social ‘science’? What does science mean to us if science cannot have objectivity?
