Instructions:
Science and Technology play a central role in assuring our survival and enormous success as a species. However, your readings for this week point out that this progress is the product of contentious debates, competing world views, and revolutionary paradigm shifts. Over time, certain views do eventually prevail. Genetically evolved technology is based, in part, on finding solutions to key problems through the process of biological evolution (see the Tedtalk video for this week).
With Kuhn, your readings and video clips for this week in mind, please answer the following questions by choosing two of this week’s readings. During the week, please read the following readings from the Norton Reader
Jacob Bronowski, The Nature of Scientific Reasoning, The Nature of Sci.pdf The Nature of Sci.pdf – Alternative Formats Thomas S. Kuhn, The Route to Normal Science. LBSU 304 Kuhn2 – The Route to Normal Science.pdf LBSU 304 Kuhn2 – The Route to Normal Science.pdf – Alternative Formats
Edward O. Wilson, Intelligent Evolution, Intelligent Evolution.pdf Intelligent Evolution.pdf – Alternative Formats William Cronon, The Trouble with Wilderness
Sandra Steingraber, Tune of the Tuna Fish
Terry Tempest Williams, The Clan of the One-Breasted Women
Then, choose an article not from this week’s reading, written within the past year, that supports the views in your written response.
Can believers in Intelligent Design embrace the incredibly promising and innovative solutions outlined in Luke Bawazer’s Tedtalk while rejecting Darwin’s theory of evolution? Explain why or why not.
How does the science discussed by Bawazer relate to Bronowski’s belief about science as imaginative and creative?
Does Bawazer’s discussion of the dawning of a new scientific paradigm mean the same thing Kuhn means by paradigm shift?
Your essay will be between 750 and 1,000 words, double-spaced. Include a title page and reference page and use APA guidelines to format the essay. Run your paper through Correct English for immediate writing feedback on mechanics, grammar, and usage error. In order to receive full points for this assignment, take a screen shot of the final results provided in Correct English.
The Academic Style of Writing
All academic writing uses language that is formal, objective and cautious. Even when an assignment is written in a more subjective style (personal reflection) you should still provide supporting evidence, use language that is somewhat formal, and objective (without emotional bias) and somewhat cautious. AVOID PERSONAL PRONOUNS. Limit the use of I, we, in my opinion, I believe, etc.
Academic Style.PNG APA formatting is required (see template in Course Information). In addition, see the rubric in Course Information for scoring. Save your paper as a doc with your name and the assignment name in the file, using Last Name_Assignment. So, if your name were Alicia Jackson, and this is Framework/s of Evolution, you would title it Jackson_Framework. Upload your paper by clicking the “WEEK 3 ASSIGNMENT – THE FRAMEWORK/s OF EVOLUTION” link above.

NO AI! NO ChatGPT! NO Cheating and Plagiarism! Respond to the question thoroughly, using at least three specific examples of works we have seen in class. Please respond to the entire question, not just individual parts of the question – you should answer parts a and b, and c. a)During the Renaissance there was a greater focus on intellectualism, and a reduced focus on religion, but there was a shift back to religion in Baroque architecture. Why? (hint: Reformation vs. Counter-Reformation) b)The Rococo, once again, had less of an emphasis on religious architecture. Why? c) And then in the 18th and 19th centuries, there is a large focus on revival styles in architecture. Discuss how the Enlightenment, revolutions, and politics played a large role in determining these revival styles.

there any you find particularly unhelpful or confusing?
