How do Pierce and Popper understand science and in what ways are their understandings similar and different from the discussions of induction and science we have read in the text book? Which conception or conceptions do you prefer?

Write a three to five page paper in which you answer one of the following series of questions. Be sure to answer or address each question. Keep the following guidelines in mind. Avoid deadwood, i.e. unnecessary words, phrases or sentences. Ideally for every word in your paper you should be able to state that the word is necessary to achieve the purpose you wish your paper to achieve. Give reasons for your claims and views. It is not enough to state that you think something or believe something, you most provide the reader with reasons to think or believe it as well. Define key terms. Do NOT use a dictionary for this. Instead, explain to the reader how YOU are using the term and what it means within the context of your argument. This may also involved providing reasons why we should accept your proposed meaning for the term. Each of the following topics contains four elements, be sure to provide equal attention to each element. (Note, these elements need not be addressed in any specific order but they each must be addressed somewhere in your paper. It is possible for them to blend together, but do not fail to do any part.) These elements are: Explain the readings you have chosen to address and demonstrate that, in general, you understand them and have thought about them. Compare and contrast the readings you are addressing in order to assess their different strengths and weaknesses. Offer your own criticism or support for some or all of the positions you have discussed. Offer your own position on the subject you have discussed and argue for it and against alternative positions.1.

Kohlberg theory on moral development is based on the idea that children progress through stages of development that emerge as they think about moral issues. He created moral dilemmas to establish his theory. According to Kohlberg, it was important to present individuals with moral dilemmas for discussion, which would help them to see the reasonableness of a “higher stage” morality and encourage their development in that direction.
