Dynamics Exam 1 Questions Fully
Solved.
The three paradigms/philosophies of science - Answer Positivism, interpretive, conflict/critical



What are the basic tenets of the Positivism paradigm? - Answer The tenets of this paradigm are: ·
Things that just are (ie. Gravity); There are processes that happen independently of human awareness of
them; Deterministic; Cause & Effect (X --> Y); Individualistic; Value free (a fact is a fact); we can discover
the laws of the universe through the scientific processes; prediction and control can help humans meet
their needs and desires.



What are the basic tenets of the Interpretive paradigm? - Answer The tenets of this paradigm are: · "It
depends"; Importance depends on a person's interpretation regardless of fact; There is no single reality;
Reciprocal causality (X <-->Y); Relational; Relativistic; Contextual; Wholistic; many human actions cannot
be predicted or controlled; attempts to manipulate and control are not ethical; knowledge is created by
individuals living in a historical era; gaining understanding/reflecting on meaning serves as a catalyst for
action.



What are the basic tenets of the Critical/Conflict paradigm? - Answer The tenets of this paradigm are: ·
Haves vs Have Nots; Life is conflict between these two groups; Haves do not want change; Have nots do
want change (resulting in revolution, systems change, etc.); Competition for scarce resources (those that
control resources are likely to exploit those who do not); exploitations may not be conscious but just a
pursuit of self interest; conflict allows for change, but conflict is not solvable.



What is the primary goal of Positivism? - Answer The primary goal of this paradigm is explanation and
prediction.



What is the primary goal of Interpretivism? - Answer The primary goal of this paradigm is
understanding.



What is the primary goal of the Critical/Conflict paradigm? - Answer The primary goal of this paradigm
is emancipation and empowerment of oppressed people and social groups.
