Chapter13, “Applying Principles of ‘Science Learning’ to your textbook focuses on analyzing an article suggesting that steroid use in baseball is at epidemic proportions.
The goal of this report is to define that it is impossible find definitive evidence in support of one view over all competing views and usual subject sometimes you have to dig a bit deeper. This assignment was created to reinforce your developing research skills for critical decision making. The document explains an indefinite study of how ball players “Major League Baseball “ have used enhancements drugs like steroids to increase their muscle mass, strength, and endurance. The article produced a lot of tactful research methods like quantitative and qualitative ideas on supporting this article. It also demonstrated a simple questionnaire and bulleted summaries to further explain what highly popular websites like WebMD and Sports Illustrated had to say about steroids in baseball. I think Sports Illustrated was negatively represented by the author solely because SI article did not give a good numerical estimate of the prevalence of steroid use. Although, the article produce a lot of cited information to back up what it was explaining, a survey, or maybe a few peer—to—peer interviews would be more insightful. I believe the author was right on a few things in the part of ‘Dangers of Steroids Use’ when it explain the story of Caminiti. In honesty, each paragraph was out of place and not well put together. But, in the end it Sports Illustrated is an entertainment magazine not a research journal. It can only provide you with just the skim part of the story and a lot of citations to prove its point.
