...heavyweights as a Nobel prize-winning physicist and a Harvard biologist and geneticist. The latter, R.C. Lewontin in the New York Review of Books harshly chided the U.S. National Opinion Research Center sexual practices study authors. “It is frightening to think that social science is in the hands of professionals who are … deaf to human nuance”. He concluded that social scientists’ propensity to impersonate natural science “can only engender the scorn of natural scientists”(p2). Given the apparent harshness of this critique, it may seem surprising to find a social scientist seeming to agree with the positioning of the natural scientists. This is precisely what Bent Flyvbjerg’s appears to do, albeit with a different premise, in the first chapter of his book ‘Making Social Science Matter: How Social Inquiry Fails and How it can Succeed Again’. Flyvbjerg articulates the case for a revision of the theoretical underpinnings of social science and the development of a new version of an old concept through a return to and reinterpretation of the Aristotelian concept of ‘phronesis’, or practical wisdom. Flyvbjerg argues for a re-routing of social science away from its position as mimic to natural science’s ‘context – independent’ epistemology because 2 “social science is locked in a flight it cannot hope to win” (P3). The natural and social sciences operate in very different paradigms so a comparison of epistemic qualities is arguably unhelpful. Flyvbjerg assesses the respective...

...from “THE LUST OF THE FLESH AND THE EYES.” The principles I have learned in this course have stirred and rejuvenated the teaching within me which was taught all of my life. It has given me a deeper understanding of the foundation of what Christ did to show His love for us from birth to death. Reading in the book from Paxis (chapter 16- 25) on “Jesus Christ” has been like a fresh new revival to the soul assuring us that God is still alive and that Jesus paid the ultimate price to redeem man back to God. It is “The unique revelation of Jesus Christ” as stated in the excerpt from (V. Arguments That the Bible is The Word of God” (Towns). I have been deeply uplifted after hearing the video tapes and seeing Dr. Elmer Towns include his personal testimonies of how he was converted by the Holy Spirit to a new life in Christ in the early 60’s. The anointed excitement heard in his conversations about the Bible, that is read in Praxis and Core Christianity books has made me eager to learn more. Since that one day in the Garden of Eden the enemy has continued his sinful tricks working through sinful lustful tricks. He succeeded in the Garden of Eden in Genesis 3:6 where man fell. He tried again on the Mount of temptation Matthew 4:8-9 where Jesus was tempted but he met the holiest of holy who could resist him. Today that same evil force desires to sift us as it has tried to test many of God’s servants as described in Luke...

...Cultural Action for Freedom Paulo Freire Introduction I think it is important—for my own sake as well as the reader’s—that we try, at the very outset, to clarify some points fundamental to the general understanding of my ideas on education as cultural action for freedom. This is all the more important since one of the basic aims of this work, where the process of adult literacy is discussed, is to show that if our option is for man, education is cultural action for freedom and therefore an act of knowing and not of memorization. This act can never be accounted for in its complex totality by a mechanistic theory, for such a theory does not perceive education in general and adult literacy in particular as an act of knowing. Instead, it reduces the practice of education to a complex of techniques, naively considered to be neutral, by means of which the educational process is standardized in a sterile and bureaucratic operation. This is not a gratuitous assertion. We will later clarify the radical distinction between knowing and memorizing and the reasons why we attach such importance to the adult literacy process. But first, some words about the socio-historical conditioning of the thinking presented here, as well as an explanation of the necessity for critical reflection on such conditioning. From a non-dualistic viewpoint, thought and language, constituting a whole, always refer to the reality of the thinking subject. Authentic thought-language is generated...

...In chapter 28 of Hannah Arendt's ‘The Human Condition’, she discusses the distinctions of power and how it shapes the public realm. Entitled “Power and the Space of Appearance” Arendt also describes the significance of plurality as the modus operandi of thriving political communities by developing the consistency and yearn to break the status quo while creating a new standard in response to human improvement. Furthermore, she categorizes this as a means for Action – one of three segments on her opinion of human conditioning which she passionately identifies as Labour, Work and Action. In terms of power, it is often thought that it is a force which dictates the actions of people while disregarding the participation of the public. However as...

Seldom focused on the curriculum development of the adult education wherein it is one of the vital factors to which the teachers and adult students have and are basing their pedagogies and learning. Curriculum comes from a Latin word currere which means to run but more specifically, according to Smith (2000), curriculum is 'All the learning which is planned and guided by the school, whether it is carried on in groups or individually, inside or outside the school.’ There are four approaches to curriculum and these are curriculum is transmittable, as a product, as a process and as praxis. Curriculum is different with a syllabus in the sense that curriculum...

...In chapters 3-11, James W. Sire goes on about our daily personal struggles of discovering our own worldviews and faith. He dives quite profoundly into philosophy and logic as he discusses the main presuppositions and nature of worldviews. He also evaluates and compares and contrasts the main belief systems that exist in our culture today, while illustrating from art and music. Sire provides a number of quotes from literature and philosophy from major philosophers around the world to support his writings. He talks about how every worldview addresses, in some way, the basic questions of ontology, cosmology, anthropology, thanatology, epistemology, ethics, history, and praxis. Reading further along, we get to see the views and answers of Christian...

...Nila Tavangarian Women Studies 30 January 30th, 2017 WS Midterm Exam Winter 2017 Part 1: Brief Essays – the Beauty Myth 1) In Wolf’s “Chapter 6: Hunger” in the Beauty Myth she argues that anorexia and bulimia is taking over women in the West. She claims that, “Women must claim anorexia as political damage done to us by a social order that considers our destruction insignificant because of what we are-less,” (Wolf, 208). I agree with the feminist perspective in “Hunger” that women are affected by pop culture and media to starve themselves until the point where they are unstable. Unfortunately, many women in the US are influenced to look like women in pop culture, however this has caused millions of suicides and health issues that...

...As a devoted fan of bell hooks, I was very excited to read this book. I’ve always found her to be an extremely sharp critic of culture, and I’ve appreciated her ability to state her thoughts clearly and compellingly. This volume was no exception. hooks engages with a wide variety of problems and approaches to “education as the practice of freedom.” Her essays exposed the degree to which our traditional system of education reproduces and sustains structural inequalities. Equally important, these essays offered new ways of thinking about pedagogy, and new strategies for creating a liberatory classroom. The only major downfall I saw in this volume is that the essays often repeated themselves. hooks acknowledges as much in her introduction, saying that since she wrote each essay separately, a certain degree of overlap exists in the collection. I would perhaps recommend that readers space out the essays rather than attempting to digest them all at once; this will allow readers to digest her thoughts before moving on, and will help them avoid becoming frustrated by these overlaps. hooks states that she intends these essays to be “celebratory” (10), and indeed I found that the experience of reading them was often a joyful one. The degree to which she loves teaching and connects with her students is incredibly inspiring. Teaching to Transgress has earned a permanent place on my bookshelf; I anticipate that I will turn to it often as I begin to teach students and create...

...THE BULLWHIP-EFFECT IN A MULTI LEVEL SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORK Research in Progress Reisich, Friedrich, University of Duisburg-Essen, 2247800, Essen, Germany, friedrich.reisich@stud.uni-due.de Abstract Forrester discovered the amplification and oscillation of order information in supply chains about 55 years ago and called it the Bullwhip Effect. Since then researchers look for reasons and try to find countermeasures. Most of the countermeasures which were formulated in the last decades are based on experiments with simple linear supply chain models consisting of two to four serial levels. In reality supply chains are complex and dynamic systems. In this paper we developed a dynamic simulation model of a complex simulation network and statistically examine whether the countermeasures described in the scientific literature work or do not work. The preliminary results shows us that at least one countermeasure which works perfectly in linear supply chains is also suitable for complex supply chain networks. Keywords: Bullwhip Effect, Forrester Effect, Whiplash Effect, Supply Chain Networks.. IS Research Fundamentals 1 1 Introduction The Bullwhip Effect or Forrester Effect is a major problem in supply chains. It was first discovered by Forrester (1972) who realized that variations of demand increase up as one moves up the supply chain from the ultimate customer to the ultimate producer. This phenomenon is considered one of the main reasons for inefficiencies...
