The term globalization is most commonly described as a process that steadily progresses over time, universally spreading over space, and visibly inevitable in its development (Haynes, Jeff, 1998). Globalization can also be described as a revolution, arguably one of the most profound revolutions the world has ever experienced but definitely the first true world revolution.[…]
Introduction In recent years, there has been a proliferation of debates concerning what’s been termed the ‘simulation hypothesis’, the idea that our universe is, in fact, a computer-generated simulation. This paper, therefore, aims to provide a brief critical analysis of this theory. The discourse will begin by providing some background information on this subject, and[…]
Introduction This paper takes a brief look at the ‘structural-functionalist’ perspective (Hooper, 2013; Erickson & Murphy, 2013) in the field of sociology, a perspective that was widely used in the social sciences in the 20th century, but which has partly fallen out of favour in the field since then. However, it will be argued that[…]
1 Introduction This paper shall briefly outline one possible methodological design for research into child sex abuse (CSA), by utilising secondary data and applying suitable theoretical perspectives. The approach to be explored is that of a meta-analysis of existing studies, with thematic analysis and grounded theory also drawn upon. Moreover, any ethical considerations in this[…]
