Paradigms

1. What does Kuhn mean by the term “normal science?” What does he mean by “paradigm?” How are the two concepts related to each other? A thorough understanding of what Kuhn is communicating when he uses the terms normal science and paradigm is a vital component for individuals that read The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. By understanding what Kuhn means when he uses these two terms, one should be enabled to, perhaps, more accurately fully extract and understand the argument that Kuhn is making

story of Alice Stewart illustrate how a “paradigm shift” occurs in science? Alice Stewart was a British epidemiologist whose main work was to figure out the extent to which radiation causes cancer. Throughout her career, she did various researches focusing on nuclear radiation which raised global controversy. Although she received mixed reactions about her early findings, these findings have been proved to be true over time. Stewart’s efforts have had a paradigm shift in the field of science. Between

Matter: A New Paradigm for Managing Diversity,” the authors David A. Thomas and Robin J. Ely state that the discrimination-and-fairness paradigm and the access-and-legitimacy paradigm are the ”perspectives that have guided most diversity initiatives to date.” (p. 80) Thomas and Ely took these two paradigms and came up with the learning-and-effectiveness paradigm, which combines the best of the discrimination-and-fairness paradigm and the access-and-legitimacy paradigm to create a paradigm that genuinely

Robin J. Ely's three paradigms of diversity focuses on: (1) discrimination and fairness, (2) access and legitimacy, and (3) learning and effectiveness paradigm as shown. "Most people assume that workplace diversity is about increasing racial, national, gender, or class representation - in other words, recruiting and retaining more people from traditionally underrepresented identity group." [1] This is true for both discrimination and fairness and access and legitimacy paradigms. Although these two

Assignment Brief In order to satisfy Gary’s need for knowledge, you should prepare a report covering following topics (Tasks 1 – 4).

Task 3 (P3 and P4)

two theories; Dunning’s OLI paradigm and Vernon’s Product Life Cycle theory in an attempt to identify which theory may offer a stronger understanding for manufacturing FDI from developed country firms to developing countries. (Wang, 2015) FDI allows the home country to invest into the host country to produce, advertise, and distribute products, in order to upsurge their market share and provides a long-term investment and enhancement. (Moosa, 2002) Dunning’s OLI paradigm (1976) is used to support

based on shared paradigms are committed to the same rules and standards. Kuhn (1970) further states that a paradigm dictates, initially, not a subject matter but a group of practitioners. Research paradigms are all relative to someone’s epistemological and ontological assumptions and when a shared philosophical tradition is adopted to the research, a common paradigm can penetrate this research and influence the approaches and methodologies that they

initiative. To begin with I would like to state that there is a difference between the dominant and ecological paradigm in the context of the sustainability initiative. The dominate paradigm is what values in a society that are most standard and widely held. Dominant paradigms are shaped both by the community 's cultural background. The ecological paradigm sees the current dominant paradigm as

The article begins by examining the notion of paradigms and worldviews as currently used in the nursing literature and suggests that the concept of a single paradigm supports a philosophy inconsistent with nursing’s goal of building knowledge on the nature of the human response. Next, the strength of plurality in nursing knowledge development, its warrantable
