13.Observe and determine if there are unexplained occurrences unfolding.

14. Determine the problem and identify the factors involved.

15. Formulate hypothesis that could explain the said phenomena. The ideal goal is to reject the null
hypothesis and accept alternative hypothesis for the study “to count as significant”.

16. Conduct experiment by setting up dependent and independent variables, and trying to see how
independent ones affect dependent ones.

17. Gather and analyze results throughout and upon culmination of the experiment. Examine if the data
gathered are significant enough to conclude results.

18. Formulate conclusion and provide recommendation in case others would want to broaden the study

19-20

VERIFICATION THEORY

The idea proposes that a discipline is science if it can be confirmed or interpreted in the event of an
alternative hypothesis being accepted. Espoused by a movement in the early 20th century called the
Vienna circle, a group of scholars who believed that only those which can be observed should be
regarded as meaningful and reject those which cannot be directly accessed as meaningless

VERSUS

FALSIFICATION THEORY

Asserts that as long as an ideology is not proven to be false ad can best explain a phenomenon over
alternative theories, we should accept the said ideology. It does not promote ultimate adoption of one
theory allowed emergence of theory but instead encourages research in order to determine which
among the theories can stand the test of time

TEST V

1.Scientific revolution is very important in the development of human beings, transformation of the
society, and in the formulation of scientific ideas. It significantly improved the conduct of scientific
investigations, experiments, and observations. It also led to the creation of new research fields in
science and prompted the establishment of a strong foundation for modern science. It transformed the
natural world and the world of ideas

2.

* Ramon C. Barba – for his outstanding research on tissue culture in Philippine Mangoes. He is a Filipino
inventor and horticulturist best known for inventing a way to induce more flowers in mango trees using
ethrel and potassium nitrate. Barba was proclaimed a National Scientist of the Philippines

* Josefino Comiso – for his works on observing the characteristics of Antartica by using satellite images.
Josefino Comiso is a senior research scientist at the Cryospheric Sciences Laboratory of the Goddard
Space Flight Center. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from the University of the
Philippines, Masters Degree in Physics from Florida State University.

* Jose B. Cruz, Jr. – known internationally in the field of electrical engineering. Jose B. Cruz Jr. is a noted
control theorist and a Distinguished Professor of Engineering in the Department of Electrical and
Computer Engineering, Ohio State University.

3.The best policies that are best in the philippines are the upgrade of communication systems and the
fast internet speeds. As well as the fast tracking of processing documents through the use of latest
technologies. Government must make policies to improve the life of the people with the vast innovative
technology.

4.He diagnosed modern humanity as suffering from a number of diseases of the soul:

Firstly: We have forgotten to notice we're alive.

We know it in theory, of course, but we aren't day-to-day properly in touch with the sheer mystery of
existence, the mystery of what Heidegger called ‘das Sein’ or in English, 'Being'. It's only at a few odd
moments, perhaps late at night, or when we're ill and have been alone all day, or are on a walk through
the countryside, that we come up against the uncanny strangeness of everything: why things exist as
they do, why we are here rather than there, why the world is like it is. What we’re running away from is
a confrontation with the opposite of Being, what Heidegger called: ‘das Nichts’ (The Nothing).

The second problems is we have forgotten that all Being is connected

Most of the time, our jobs and daily routines make us egoistic and focused. We treat others and nature
as means and not as ends. But occasionally (and again walks in the country are particularly conducive to
this realization), we may step outside our narrow orbit – and take a more expansive view. We may sense
what Heidegger termed 'the Unity of Being', noticing for example that we, and that ladybird on the bark,
and that rock, and that cloud over there are all in existence right now and are fundamentally united by
the basic fact of our common Being. Heidegger values these moments immensely – and wants us to use
them as the springboard to a deeper form of generosity, an overcoming of alienation and egoism and a
more profound appreciation of the brief time that remains to us before ‘das Nichts’ claims us in turn.

The third problem is we forget to be free and to live for ourselves.

Much about us isn’t of course very free. We are - in Heidegger’s unusual formulation - ‘thrown into the
world’ at the start of our lives: thrown into a particular and narrow social milieu, surrounded by rigid
attitudes, archaic prejudices and practical necessities not of our own making. The philosopher wants to
help us to overcome this ‘Thrownness’ (‘Geworfenheit’ as he puts it in German) by understanding it. We
need to grasp our psychological, social and professional provincialism - and then rise above it to a more
universal perspective. In so doing, we’ll make the classic Heideggerian journey away from
‘Uneigentlichkeit’ to ‘Eigentlichkeit’ (from Inauthenticity to Authenticity). We will, in essence, start to
live for ourselves.

And yet most of the time, for Heidegger, we fail dismally at this task. We merely surrender to a
socialized, superficial mode of being he called ‘they-self’ (as opposed to ‘our-selves’). We follow The
Chatter (‘das Gerede’), which we hear about in the newspapers, on TV and in the large cities Heidegger
hated to spend time in. What will help us to pull away from the ‘they-self’ is an appropriately intense
focus on our own upcoming death. It’s only when we realize that other people cannot save us from ‘das
Nichts’ that we’re likely to stop living for them; to stop worrying so much about what others think, and
to cease giving up the lion’s share of our lives and energies to impress people who never really liked us
in the first place.
