hi, you helped me wrote this following paragraph, and my professor is confused about one of the parts of this essay. Can you just help me to write one or two paragraph to explain why you wrote An example in research where the post-positivist worldview is prominent over the social constructivist worldview is in a research that is based on the position that God exists because it can be shown through science.
The original essay:
My stand in terms of the worldview is the post-positivist assumption or the scientific method. My belief is that I should be in a position to question traditional ideas of the truth of knowledge. I hold the philosophy that causes determine outcomes and effects. For instance, symptoms of a disease are the effects or outcomes of an infection, which could be bacterial or viral. I am intrigued by the social constructivist worldview because I tend to find ways to understand the world around me. Because of the multiple and varied meanings, I look for the complexity of views instead of narrowing down meaning into a few ideas and categories. I go out to look for the different perspectives of people concerning their lives and their world and try to relate them to my experiences.
I find myself in the middle of the two worldviews because on one hand, I would like to pursue the scientific method of study to understand the cause and its effects or outcomes. I would also like to understand the interactions among people and their world while focusing on the context of the places they work or live. I would like to know more on the extent to which the scientific methods of the post-positivist worldview can be applied on a social constructivist study. An example in research where the post-positivist worldview is prominent over the social constructivist worldview is in a research that is based on the position that God exists because it can be shown through science. Scientific areas of study are likely to use the post-positivist worldview while sociological areas of study are likely to use the social constructivist worldview.
