Is Psychology A Science?

Psychology is defined formally as an exact science which makes scientific study of all human behavior, both of individuals from childhood up to old age and of crowds because the behavior of the two is very dissimilar. This subject deals with our day to day live problems. It not only studies one's normal behavior, but abnormal behavior as well. Everything in man's make-up, therefore, that allows him to act as he does is within the psychologist's scope. His material is composed of human emotions which, of course, include phobia, love, hate, anger, shy and feelings of that kind. It comprises too, a study of human tendency like the tendency to eat, to sleep, to walk or to construct. Also, the intelligence, the personality and inherited characteristics must be considered before an accurate knowledge of human behavior can be achieved. Psychology is known as an exact science because it examines facts as they are and not as they might be (as is the studies of Ethics). It is compara...

'Mathematics is the most perfect language of all'.

Mathematics- A Perfect Language?? Surely speaking, a language is an articulated means of communication, enabling the speaker to fetch thought to another person. However, the more complex the thoughts or ideas, the harder or more clumsy the language becomes. To demonstrate verbally why 'the square on the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle equals the sum of the squares on the other two sides of a same triangle' would require a long and monotonous paragraph. And this is the straightforward possible example; anything more complex would be cumbersome. So in this way mathematical symbols which nowadays are universally accepted, squeeze information in a way that no other language possibly could, and this fact supports the title statement. The perfection of mathematics cannot be expressed with the combination of 26 alphabets. However, this language is only accessible to most people in its simplest forms, i.e. arithmetic, algebra and geometry, and these are taught in schools because...

He was persecuted by the Church and the State. But gradually the situation changed, until today in the twentieth century. Science has become a highly regarded profession like Law or Teaching. Science has become the fundamental basis of medicine, engineering and technology, this has possibly given the modern scientist a sort of privileged status in society. He stands somewhat aloof from the rest of the society, dedicated to the pursuit of things beyond the under-standing of ordinary people.  Science has become an exclusive profession which needs long years of training and apprenticeship. And yet science is different from other professions. Unlike the others, the scientist can demand no immediate reward for his work; he has no ready market for the disposal of his discoveries. A lawyer argues a...
