Research Philosophy Definition of Positivism Positivism is a system that utilizes data of occurrences to ostracize a priori. The term is attributed to the French Philosopher, Auguste Comte (1798-1857), who also acknowledged and systemized sociology. It originated from an intellectual uprising that learned from flaws in the Enlightenment movement that prevailed during the reign of Terror in the French Revolution of 1789. Positivism is identified as a progression from empiricism due to its association with quantitative research from experiments (Halfpenny, 2014). It reaffirms that knowledge is based on facts which are extracted from positive data gathered through experiences. Positivism also explains that beyond the principality of points exists pure logic and mathematics. According to Ryan (2018), researchers believe that positivism is significant in evaluating facts based on accuracy. Ryan also highlights four distinct characteristics of positivism: objectivity, phenomenalism, deductivism, and inductivism. Positivism is vital in the formulation of universal laws based on the social dynamics in an abstract world. These laws can be evaluated based on the collected data. Auguste Comte utilized Newton’s gravity laws as the epitome for legitimizing…

Module Activities Identify the unique elements of Target’s and Walmart’s strategies. How do these two firms’ strategies differ? Walmart still dominates the market with its sheer size as far as big-box discount stores are concerned. On the other hand, its closest rival, Target, has been carving out the market share with hip design partnerships and catchy advertising campaigns (Asperti et al. 2020). On top of that, the two companies differ in their business models. Target prefers a youthful image and profit margin, while Walmart angles more toward the lowest cost. Both companies are low-cost retail stores with massive revenues. According to the data released in 2019, Walmart is approximately twenty times the Target’s size. Walmart gearshifts supercenters at times over 180,000 square feet, targeting to provide the possible lowest price. Similarly, Target controls large stores. However, its stores are more fixated to profit margins via the supply chain, thus reporting higher profit margins but lower revenues. Using Porter’s (Porter, 1996) definition describes the strategic positioning of each firm. How do these firms differ in their strategic positioning? Strategic positioning can…

Political typology Political typology relates to the categorization of individuals to particular political positions based on their beliefs and attitudes. After taking the typology quiz, the results obtained from my answers were as follows: 32%, 40%, 76%,80%,94%,57%, 76%, 61%, 62%, 7%, 57%, 67%, 54%, 99%, 79% and 76% respectively. This made up the 12% representation of Opportunity Democrats in the general population. These scores, in essence, implied that I best fit in the group of Opportunity Democrats. From the results, we have liberalistic positions towards most aspects such as immigration, homosexualism, and the environment. We have strong beliefs in success through hard work. Also, we fully support the foreign policies made by the United States of America. We are less perceptional on obstruction in the structural set-ups facing black people and women. These make us unique from other democrat groups. Among other standing points, these make me believe in the scores obtained. In my view, the former President, Barack Obama, would best fit in identifying the political orientation identity. First, his win and election as the first African-American President of…

Japanese History of Edo period to Meiji Restoration Japanese History of Edo period to Meiji Restoration is an interesting video.  In the beginning of the film, I thought it was explaining how a Japanese doctor struggled to understand a Dutch book on human anatomy. The doctor even studies Dutch and translates the book, and realizes that it has been shameful to treat patients with proper knowledge on human body. However, I realized that the main theme of this film is the invasion of the western powers and how they threatened the independence of the Japanese people.  The narrator describes them as the Alien barbarians of the west because they were determined to control the world even through force and violence.  These were powers such as the United States and Britain that threatened the sovereignty that Japan had managed to maintain over two hundred years.  For instance, when the Shogun ordered that the American ships should leave, the Americans ignored it, and forcefully invaded Japan. Therefore, I feel that this film helps the viewers to understand how western countries and influence…
