Document Summary
Geog/enst 2005 l 2 notes with john milton pt 1. Coming up with an idea: mapping fields of study. Thinking about a topic and all of its dimensions is the first step in focusing your research question. Brainstorming, current issues, scholarly articles (anything can bring an idea) What we research is defined by our personal interests and orientations, which are influenced by our surroundings and peers. Worldview term used to describe the foundation of your belief system (morals and beliefs; how you see the world) Anthropocentric- the belief that considers human beings to be the most significantly entity of the universe and interprets the world in terms of human values. Dualism- the division of something conceptually into two opposed aspects ex. separates soul and body; us with nature. Naturalism- you must see, hear, touch, research about it to know that it is true. Social science and natural science should be approached in the same way.
