What is Science?

Science is one of the broadest and most foundational subjects in academic writing, spanning disciplines from biology and physics to psychology, history, and philosophy. Students encounter science-related writing assignments across general education courses, specialized STEM programs, and humanities classes that examine how scientific thinking intersects with culture, religion, and society. What makes science academically compelling is its dual role as both a body of knowledge and a method of inquiry — a process through which humans build understanding of the natural and social world. Papers in this area frequently engage with questions about technology and responsibility, the relationship between science and religion, and the social implications of scientific advancement.

The papers collected here reflect a wide range of approaches. Some take an evaluative angle, weighing the advantages and disadvantages of science and technology or examining how scientific progress affects cultural beliefs and values. Others focus on specific applications, such as DNA profiling, geoinformatics, or celestial navigation. Historical and contextual analyses appear as well, including work on the Italian Renaissance as a period of scientific transformation. Certain papers move into adjacent fields like criminal psychopathology and classic social psychology experiments, showing how scientific frameworks shape disciplines beyond the hard sciences.

A strong essay on science succeeds by narrowing its scope to a clear, arguable thesis rather than attempting to survey the entire field. Evidence drawn from specific processes, case studies, or established theories tends to carry more weight than broad generalizations. The most common pitfall is conflating description with analysis — simply explaining what science is rather than arguing why a particular aspect of it matters, how it functions, or what consequences it produces.

The debate between evolution and scientific creationism

This is an overview of the first half of G. Schroeder;s THE HIDDEN FACT OF GOD: HOW SCIENCE REVEALS THE ULTIMATE TRUTH ABOUT THE UNIVERSE. Despite centuries of conflict, it appears that the more we understand the intracacies of science, the more notions we have of a supreme causality that we, frankly, have no way to understand at present.

Gimbel's analysis of Einstein's relativity theory as Jewish science and its sociological implications

This study examines the work of Gimbel (2012) entitled “Einstein’s Jewish Science: Physics at the Intersection of Politics and Religion” and specifically pages 112-217 and seeks to answer the question of how the categorization of Einstein and others functions from a sociological perspective. This study seeks to answer as to if Einstein as a second-class Jewish citizen also resounded in the Jewish community itself and particularly among the Jewish intelligentsia and how important this is for understanding the nature of religion? This study will answer as to whether there are Jewish aspects to liberal universalism and if so what was found in the reading of Gimbel. Finally, this study will answer as to what was found to be most interesting and most insightful and what was found to be contentious in Gimbel’s work.

Plato and Socrates on the dual nature of the human soul

For centuries, the dual nature of humans in relation to ethics has puzzled philosophers. It is a philosophical construct that tries to explain how humans organize their moral and ethical beliefs within a given time period and within a given culture. However, ethics is typically more focused on understanding the way certain ideas are presented and acted upon in individual societies than making broad pronouncements of right and wrong. However, when one looks at the history of any philosophical subject, it is important to note that differing concepts of philosophy often arise “out of” that very historical and cultural fabric of the time – and then evolve so that they become more acceptable to future generations rather than contemporaneous ones

Theoretical perspectives of criminal behavior and control

There are psychological, sociological, and biological theories concerning criminality and white-collar crime. By understanding how these theories interact the security manager can develop a policy to reduce potential opportunities for employees to engage in white-collar criminal activities. One key to controlling white-collar crime is that the employees know that honesty is monitored and rewarded and instances of theft and fraud have high probabilities of being discovered. Preventing white-collar crime is not so much about having sanctions and rules to follow but setting the right environment for the employees that does not allow opportunities for exploitation to take place (Coenen 2013). The security manager cannot control for or directly manipulate the biological foundations of crime in individuals but can produce an organizational environment that allows for learning of attitudes and behaviors that promote honesty and deter selfish and criminal behaviors.

Racial discrimination and reform in American capital punishment

Abstract The United States is one of the 58 countries that still practice capital punishment. Thirty-eight out of the fifty states in the US still have the death penalty incorporated in their legal systems. In the past, the death penalty has been criticized on a number of grounds. Indeed, the United Nations has constantly called on nations to abolish the same, and replace it with life imprisonment. Protests against the death penalty have been a common phenomenon in the United States. These, coupled with the significant anti-capital punishment pieces of legislation that have been proposed in the recent past, depict the changing climate, with regard to capital punishment. This text reviews these issues, and evaluates the overall efficiency of the death penalty as a tool for deterring crime.
