Changeless of Research

The earth is full of things in motion and constantly changing to adapt to everything that is happening. We find out that life exists in places that we may never have thought possible, but it is there. We study things and try to understand what this world is and how it changes but we can miss so much just in the blink of an eye. We are always just trying to understand it, but some may say that is foolish to try to understand something that will be different in just a few minutes or days, maybe even years. We do this so we can try to understand that change so that we can understand this blink of an eye that I may never be forgotten. That is what researchers are trying to do, gather information on the here and now so that we may guide the future and leave something for them to see about their past. Because of that, we must be careful with what we decide is the findings of our research. We can easily let emotions get in the way, and we can find information that supports our opinions, so we hold it as truth, or even just not do the right type of research to show what we wanted to know.

Our emotions play a significant role in guiding our decision-making and daily life. However, when conducting research, it is essential to exercise caution and not let our emotions fully control our reasoning or seeing ability to accept the truth. While emotions can help us identify situations or problems in our lives, they can also cloud our judgment and lead to unwise decisions. Our emotions are complex and ever-changing, making them challenging to control. At the same time, they can aid research by allowing us to identify potential research topics that we wonder about. Nevertheless, it is crucial to exercise balance and avoid allowing emotions to cloud our research. Researchers must strive to maintain objectivity, even if the data challenge their initial assumptions or personal beliefs. By doing so, researchers can ensure that their work is acutely documented and kept in a way to be beneficial and not negative like this “50 percent of all marriages end in divorce”.  This percentage came from some research but as was put by Renée Peltz Dennison Ph.D. in her article “Do Half of All Marriages Really End in Divorce?” it was found that “The truth is, the average couple getting married today has more like a 75 percent chance of staying married. That means that only about 1 in 4 recent marriages are likely to end in divorce.” This has become commonplace in households to avoid having to talk about relationships. If things are going to fail, why put in the effort that is the effect of letting emotions guide research.

It is human nature to cling to information that supports our preconceived notions, even if the source may be unreliable or outdated. As aptly stated by Mr. Williams in a “discussion on scientific methodology”, most of us arrive at our beliefs without giving much thought to the underlying methodology or consistency with our values. It is crucial to avoid seeking only information that aligns with our beliefs and to remain open to all sides of an argument, even if it challenges our assumptions. By maintaining an open mind and being willing to consider diverse perspectives, we create opportunities for personal growth and expanded knowledge. It is essential to resist the urge to focus solely on being right and instead prioritize seeking the truth. The willingness to explore different viewpoints and learn from them not only enriches our understanding but also increases our credibility and persuasiveness in discussions with others. Therefore, it is crucial to remain open to all points of view, even if they may challenge our current beliefs, as this can lead to a more comprehensive understanding of the topics, we thought we knew everything about.

Culture needing work

  People fight over this, and we draw lines in the sand because of this. At times, it allows us to connect and find some ground as well. This thing is so hard to fully understand because it changes as time goes on. The world has made art, music, and writing.  These things have been changed by this. We have people that try to understand forgotten ones and others that try to erase them. I'm talking about culture. We are all developing our own as we grow, and we take things from others as we do. Culture is good at times, but at other times they need to be changed or forgotten. In my life I have things that I do that I feel come from my mom and other times I do things like my dad and that was the culture I was raised in. One of the things that I learned from both of them is that life is hard and we need to always look for a way through it. This part of my family culture on the services would look like a good way to live, but there are things that I have seen from my parents that t...

Theories how can they shape the future.

  The world knows that one pulse one equals two, right? It is a simple truth that we all accept as how the world works, but is it always the answer that we are going to get? Things change and if people don't have the bigger picture, they could get a completely different answer. Just by changing one of the ones to be one foot and the other to be one inch, people will find that they can get several answers depending on what you are looking for.  That is the same with theories. Theories are made to try to understand the world. People create theories to have them be proven, and when they have become laws or fundamental truths, they must be tested. The two things I will talk about are how theories shouldn't shape how we see the world. Second, theories can become more or even help us to understand so much more about life.  Theories are made to guide us and show us different ways of looking at the world, not to tell us how the world is. The world is governed by rules, and we see...

Pressures of Dating

Dating is full of stress. I'm pretty sure many people can remember the stress of their first date. This stress and pressure come when planning, asking, and going on a date. Here are just a few examples of things that affect people that are going to date someone, whether it's just one time or consistently. These things will pressure them as long as they are dating. Some of them are social pressure and others are things that we put on ourselves. The thing I have noted that caused a feeling of pressure was the feeling that they are way out of their league, so you can't ask them. We are always overthinking what is necessary for a date. Lastly, the pressure that you are going to possibly marry this person. These put pressure on dating and make it, so people are scared or unconfident about dating. People are always comparing things to other things, putting things into groups or categories as we go through our daily lives. We do this with people we know and people we just see pass...
