Abstraction

Selective abstraction-one example of this would be a person getting a good grade in a class but mainly focusing on the one assignment that they got a bad grade in and think about that in a negative aspect. I use this sometimes because in my life I always want to do my very best when it comes to school, when get a bad grade I sometimes do dwell on that for a while. Negative predication, one example of this would be if a person thinks that they are not going to get an apartment that they signed up

universals. Among these, those given by empirical science (natural properties) make the final cut and are crowned as universals. In “Universals as Attributes,” Armstrong grants that universals exist but denies that they can exist as uninstantiated abstractions. Rather, he

Organic Abstraction The origin of organic abstraction is centered around the post-World War artistic talents pioneered by Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore. Sharing the same philosophy of Henri Bergeson, who believed “evolutionary process (nature) and artist creativity (art) come from the same origin.” (32 Bergson) Using nature as a muse of creation, artists used simple curves and lines to define and object to resemble that of a human body or other living natural objects. War brought about conformity

to give meaning. (Grove, S., Burns, N., & Gray, J., 2013). Depression is an example of a concept which relates to low mood, loss of interest or pleasure, lack of motivation, decreased energy and low self-esteem. Concepts differ at the level of abstraction. According to Grove, S, et al. (2013) relationships statement between two or more concepts provides a framework leading to the study objective, hypothesis, study design and statistical analysis needed. Abstract concepts may not apply to clinical

Abstract ideas pertaining to epistemology in philosophy are almost as old as the concept of philosophy itself. Dating back to thinkers such as Aristotle, carrying on throughout the medieval period and into modern philosophy, abstracts have always been grappled with. George Berkeley’s epistemology about abstract ideas has historically been one that has drawn the attention of many other scholars and philosophical thinkers. His thoughts on ideas, specifically his expansion of Locke’s general abstract

O’Hara ‘reads the painting as text, rather than a static object’ reading the ‘larger painterly aesthetic generated’ by Rivers’ painting. However, O’Hara’s reading is neither simple nor direct, rather it is the result of a series of abstractions. O’Hara writes ‘on seeing’ Rivers’ painting which is ‘a version of’ Leutze’s painting, which itself is ‘based on’ a possibly fictional event in American history. These series of perspectives serve as aesthetic, historical and rhetorical frames

Wiesel has stated “We must not see any person as an abstraction. Instead, we must see in every person a universe with its own secrets, with its own treasures, with its own sources of anguish, and with some measure of triumph” (as cited in Skloot, 2010, p. 1). This paper will examine the many ways in which Henrietta Lacks, a relatively poor African woman whose cells were extracted from her without any consent, was viewed primarily as an abstraction rather than a person by the scientific community and

Lisa, head publisher of a rising publishing firm company. She starts her day by speaking to her publicity team on some new marketing strategies. Lisa then spends time on the phone talking with all of the editors she represents. At a lunch meeting Lisa talks to the executive board on a couple of manuscripts she has been championing. Would one think that Lisa is a public speaker? Most people would say no, but after reading Stephen Lucas the Art of Public Speaking, I have learned that Lisa is a public

Merriam Webster defines an abstraction as “a general idea or quality rather than an actual person.” Humans are immensely complex creatures who cannot be confined to stereotypes, classifications or labels. Each person is equipped with their own set of traits, talents and capabilities that make them who they are. Viewing a person as simply an abstraction restricts them to a category stating who and what they are allowed to be effectively taking away the uniqueness each and every person has a right

Highly abstract concepts, such as jurisprudence and sovereignty, oftentimes cause high school students much struggle when trying to thoroughly understand such conceptual ideas. To teach these theoretical concepts, one must not only equivalently utilize David Ausubel's Expository teaching model, but also retain an overall knowledge of other valuable strategies related to Ausubels's model (Woolfolk, 2004, p. 281). To Ausubel, the most significant idea is that of the advance organizer, a statement
