Forensic science has been used for thousands of years in order to solve crime scenes around the world. The constant change of the growing society and technology around us, Forensic Science has come a long way since the 700’s when the Chinese first used fingerprints for identifying. Shoeprint identification is an old, established form of identification. This method of placing an individual at a particular crime scene is one of the best forms of identification. Shoe prints were first recorded as evidence

WHAT IS EXPLANATION? We finished chapter one having made several observations of a scene. We then proceeded to review our observations so that we had removed assumptions, bias and unsupported belief from them. We now enter the second major step of science: explanation. Explanations are operationalized questions. When you operationalize something, you define it in such a way that it can be practically measured. So, an explanation is defining your question in such a way that you can measure that question

Mortui Vivos Docent Merriam-Webster defines forensic science as the application of scientific principles and techniques to matters of criminal justice especially as relating to the collection, examination, and analysis of physical evidence. In layman’s terms, forensics is the use of science to help the police gather evidence so they can catch a culprit. This seemingly simple subject took hold of my life almost five years ago and has not loosened its grip since. I began watching crime dramas and

social science is the branch of philosophy that involves examining concepts, the methods, and the logic of the social sciences (Fay, 2016, P.1). Gordon (1991, P.2), defined social science as using the scientific method to study human social behaviour. Therefore, this branch analyses the cooperation of human beings with the aim of achieving objectives collectively rather than individually. Furthermore, the philosophers of social science are concerned with the investigation of the social science practices

Is there a conflict between religion and science, or are both items compatible? This question is addressed in the debate that is written about in the book Science and Religion, Are they Compatible, by Daniel C. Dennett and Alvin Plantinga. Alvin Plantinga thoroughly debates the topic by covering the compatibility of Christianity and science. He continues his argument by stating the issue of naturalist and science harbor the conflict not the theism. Plantinga goes into detail how some scientific theories

“...medical science is nearing the limit of what man can accomplish. But fortunately, unfoldment and achare never ending and... are opening up before the healer of the future” (esoteric-philosophy.net). Medical science has already led to many advancements in human health; yet it still holds more promising potential in improving lives, because there’s no telling what new discoveries that research might lead to. As a result, medical scientists are needed to step up to the challenge of pioneering new

forensic science? Forensics is the basis of crime fighting. It is devised to assist in the solving of a crime through providing evidence of a crime. There are many different components of forensic science, which include: DNA, fingerprints, hair samples, ballistics and toxicology (what is a forensic scientist). There are many different types of forensic scientist such as an anthropologist, ballistics expert, chemical scientist, fingerprint expert, photographer and toxicologist (Forensic science, 1995)

Mad Science To what extent can science be considered mad or obsessional? I claim that science is used to the highest extent whether it be for “proper or humane” use or “mad or obsessional” because mentioned in Clarke’s short story the use of science is solely based on the computer machine needed from the monks to determine the multiple name’s of “God”. When the use of science is gone out of context or somewhat non relatable is considered mad and obsessional basing off ideas from Susan Sontag. When

The stereotype of science teachers always missing days is another reason why students find all science classes struggling. Students think that the reason most science teachers miss days of school is because they want to get away from the students and not teach the lesson for that class. The other reason is that students think that the teacher would rather have the students learn from an educational movie the substitute puts on for the class along with a worksheet to go along with the movie rather

Introduction A great explanation of scientific process in the book Philosophy Of Science; the Central Issues is “Russian doll model; for just as each doll contains smaller dolls inside it, so, too, each scientific theory includes the verified content of the earlier theories it has absorbed” (Curd, pg 909). In metaphysics and philosophy reductionism is claims that all sciences are reducible to physics. Contrary to what many philosophers like Ernest Nagel believe all new scientific theories are able
