1.Summary


Scientific methods are empirical methods for acquiring knowledge, and since at least the 17th century sociologists have mainly used scientific methods to study social phenomena.The scientific method involves careful observation and rigorous skepticism because cognitive assumptions distort the interpretation of observations.The process of the scientific method involves making assumptions, deriving predictions from assumptions as logical results, and then making experiments or empirical observations based on those predictions.




2.What I learned


This article covers the history and theories of the scientific methods we use today.The ubiquitous element of the scientific method is empiricism, but not always consistent with the form of empiricism, which requires an evaluation of every angle, is not a single formula, and is closely related to rationalism and scientific theory.Just like when we encounter problems in our daily lives and studies, we should also evaluate and consider them in many ways.These expressions have gradually improved and become a common method of use in our information media and blog sites.


The scientific method requires scientists to verify that their hypotheses are correct through repeated experiments.But if today's science and technology and experimental conditions are not enough to test their hypotheses, but because of the iterative nature of science and technology, it may be possible to test them in the future, is the theory right or wrong?

The “Why Wikipedia” video explains that Wikipedia is driven by a radical idea: anyone can edit. This openness has obvious risks, but surprisingly, it works. Why? Because Wikipedians follow a core principle called “good faith.” The idea is that editors assume others are acting with good intentions. They might disagree or make mistakes, but they are seen as partners in a shared mission, not enemies. This idea of good faith collaboration is explored deeply in Reagle’s writings. In the Foreword, Lawrence Lessig praises Wikipedia as an ...

China and Globalization The relationship between China and globalization is one of the most significant themes in 21st-century international politics, economics, and cultural exchange. As the world's second-largest economy and the largest developing country, China plays multiple roles in the globalization process: as a beneficiary, a driver, and a participant in shaping the rules.   Historical Background   Reform and Opening-Up & Globalization   China's adoption of the reform and opening-up policy in 1978 marked the beginning of its full integration into the globalization process. [1]   By introducing foreign investment and joining international economic organizations (such as the World Trade Organization), China gradually transformed from an agriculture-based nation into a global manufacturing hub.   Accession to the WTO   In 2001, China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) [2] , a critical milestone in the globalization process.
