Hi, I am looking for someone to write an article on bias and ensure the validity of the results Paper must be at least 1250 words. Please, no plagiarized work! Archival records, direct observation, interviews and psychometric tests are techniques that are used in the case study method.

The case study method leads towards a variety of conclusions as contextual analysis and extensive description of complex personalities or phenomena are made during the research. The method elaborates why a particular event happens and what will be happened in similar situations.

The double-blind method is the best to avoid the variable of bias. Under this method, neither the subject nor the experimental identifies which subjects relate to the experimental group and which are from the control group.

Motivational speakers and teachers, while stressing the need for contemplation, normally state that “most people use only 10 % of their brain”. They also quote Albert Einstein for the revelation of this scientific phenomenon. In my opinion, it is an urban legend that emerged from the writings of Harvard psychologist, William James, who states in his book titled, “The Energies of Men” in 1908: “We are making use of only a small part of our possible mental and physical resources”.

Neuroscientists rejected this myth on the basis of their scientific research and presented a number of counter-arguments against it. Personally, I agree with them as they have strong empirical evidence to debunk this myth.

The scanning of brain images shows that all regions and spheres of mind are active during the routines tasks of speaking, listening and pondering. Dr. Rachel C. Vreeman and Dr. Aaron E. Carroll in a study of medical myths write: “Numerous types of brain imaging studies show that no area of the brain is completely silent or inactive and detailed probing of the brain has failed to identify the ‘non-functioning 90 percent”.

Moreover, it is a well-documented scientific fact that the human brain uses 20 % energy of the body and it is quite astonishing if it utilizes only 10 % of its total potential by taking a lion’s share of energy from other parts of the body.

Extrasensory perception is also called the “sixth sense”. Normally, a human being receives all kinds of information through five physical senses namely: sight, touch, hearing, taste and smell. But through extrasensory perception.

Compose a 250 words assignment on what is the status of moral claims. Needs to be plagiarism free! Section/# Nussbaum on FGM One of the difficulties that scholars face with regards to juxtaposing ethics/morality and appreciation for and understanding concerning a different culture is the extent to which certain practices that are divergent from the analysts understanding of morality and ethical behavior diverge. One such case of this divergence is seen in the writings of Martha Nussbaum as she works to criticize the ways in which certain individuals seek to provide a rational basis for understanding the arguments for accepting FGM (Female genital mutilation). Nussbaum herself is fundamentally and diametrically opposed to such a practice and does not consider any argument for it as being ethically or morally convincing (Nussbaum 1). As such, Nussbaum presents a very simple yet well reasoned approach that defines the process of FGM as reprehensible regardless of the cultural determinants that claim to the contrary.

It is this author’s belief that the strong position that Nussbaum takes is absolutely defensible. Firstly, it should be a commonly held view across humanity that violence is not the solution to any perceived problem and that humans should most certainly not be subjected to a violent form of clitoral mutilation. especially prior to the age where they can make a determination for themselves how they would like their bodies to develop and represent their own unique understanding of culture. Whereas this view may be seen as xenophobic, the truth of the matter is that it should be understood across culture as patently wrong to inflict willful damage on any member of society. especially those that are unaware with regards to the pain and trauma that such a situation will effect later in their lives.

Write 6 pages thesis on the topic enactment theory of mentoring. The Enactment Theory of Mentoring is a communication theory that gives suggestions on how mentors and trainees in an organization can use strategic communication in developing a relationship between themselves (Kalbfleisch, 2007). The theory gives nine proposals that show how mentors and trainees ought to conduct themselves when trying to initiate, develop, and maintain relationships in an organization. The first proposal brought out in the theory shows that mentors can decline to become mentors to trainees during their first interactions (Grill, 2011).

The second proposition shows a higher possibility of mentors turning down the request made by trainees of becoming their mentors. According to Kalbfleisch, mentors show more willingness to help trainees on a project than they agree to become their mentors. In the same way, mentors have a more likelihood of allowing trainees to help them in a project compared to their acceptance to become the trainees’ mentors (Grill, 2011). The reason behind this, according to the theory is that there is no enough initial time for the mentor and the trainee to create a close relationship, and thus mentors turn down any formal requests for mentorship (Kalbfleisch, 2007). For an individual to work effectively in an organization, they do not have to require a strong feeling to work with another person, but agreeing to serve as a mentor to a trainee requires a sense of liking. Therefore there is a lower likelihood of an organization member to agree to become a mentor to a trainee due to a lack of initial relationship development (Kalbfleisch, 2007).

The theory’s third proposition shows that mentors show interest in training new trainees when they have mentored others before (Kalbfleisch, 2007), as the fourth proposition shows trainees’ interest in being mentored by any more advanced individual regardless of the duration of their relationship. The fifth proposal shows trainees’ likelihood of accepting offers from more advanced individuals in the organization. These propositions show that in the early stages of communication relationships, trainees are more likely to accept mentorship when approached by a more advanced individual (Allen, 2007). This means that trainees will have to use most of their time building communication relationships with their mentors.
