Tenets of Positivism - Answer-There are phenomena and processes that operate
independently of human awareness of them. There are laws that govern at least some
of the phenomena and processes .We can discover these laws through the scientific
processes. Knowledge of these laws can help humans to predict and control some of
the phenomena and processes. This type of prediction and control can help humans
better meet their needs and desires.
Tenets of Interpretive - Answer-Natural science methods are not always appropriate for
gaining insight into human interaction. Many human actions cannot be predicted or
, controlled .Attempts to manipulate and control others are not ethical. There is no single
reality of life; knowledge is created by individuals living in a historical era. Gaining
understanding or reflecting on meaning will serve as a catalyst for action.
tenets of conflict/critical - Answer-In situations of inequality, those groups that control
resources are likely to exploit those that lack resources. Exploitation may not be
conscious calculation by those in control, but rather merely the pursuits of their own self
interests. In the process they take advantage of those who lack resources. Those with
resource, and thus the power, can impose their idea systems on those without
resources. I.e., those without resources have an idea system imposed on them. Conflict
allows for change, but conflict is not solvable.
