[Week 2] Research Proposal

What is my current topic?

I want to prove that positivism is arrogant because it is obvious that science can't prove all things in the world for us. However, Many people are believing the power of science and proud of their scientific ability and data. We can see this attitude in rationalism at first. As a result, People are getting some terrible result from nature and our ignorance about the world. So, I want to say that positivism is arrogance and we should be polite toward the world in my first persuasive essay.


What are my guiding questions?

Positivism. It is possible to say that positivism has led humans to know parts of our mysterious world.  Of course, I agree on this statement. However, I want to know the limitations of positivism and complete my hypothesis. Also, I aim to have readers get the same idea with me and be polite toward our ignorance.


What are my current thought?

Positivism is arrogance. People cannot understand all of things only with science although science can reveal many things in the world. Psychologists can't reveal all of things about our mind, meteorologist can't predict natural phenomenon perfectly and physicist can't understand the origin of universe. We should be polite toward the world before our science can reveal all of things.


What is the opposition?

Many philosophers stated that human's ration is only way to study the world exactly. Ration makes science and science is the most important tool to reveal the secret of the world. Also, science can expand its area exponentially with originally existing data. So mankind can understand all things about the world with science's helping if scholars continue to advance science.
