Synthesis of six postings
The first posting, like most of the postings on the question "How do Socrates', Plato's, and Aristotle's ideas still affect us today?" stresses the Socratic Method as the primary gift of Socrates to the world. It notes the similarity in approach of Plato and Socrates, given that Plato was the primary disseminator of what we now label as Socrates' teachings. The second posting also discusses the Socratic Method and its modern applications, but creates more of a distinction between the teachings of Plato and Socrates. Plato placed a greater stress upon the distinction between what we call 'the real world' and his vision of the ideal world (the realm of the forms).

With SYMLOG, measurement procedures are
Good researchers tend to pull methods out of a tool kit as they are needed" (2006, p. 54). Notwithstanding these criticisms and constraints, though, most social researchers seem to agree that classification by some type of research paradigm is a useful approach based on the need to determine which approach is best suited for a given research enterprise. In this regard, Corby concludes that, "The contested nature of research
culmination of my personal and professional interests in contributing to the growing body of literature on the impact of poverty on child development.
