I find it difficult for me to BS my way through something, some of my friends do it with ease. It is an important skill in life no doubt, what are some tips guys? :!)
gravenewworld said:I am currently BSing my way through this paper for ethics on this topic-
"a genuine commitment is not an inner experience to which only the agent in question is privy. Rather, commitment is part of who we are, it is reflected in how we behave. That is why an activity view of the self provides a better understanding of commitment (187).
Using the next three sections of the reading (“Investment,” “Marriage,” and “Companion Friends”) please (a) discuss how the activity view of the self provides a better understanding of commitment. That is, what is revealed about the nature of commitment using an activity view of the self? (Note that responding to this question will necessarily entail including a working conceptual definition of the activity view of the self and then relating it to the idea of commitment. The end of chapter four may be helpful here.) Following, please (b) choose a relationship from your own life to illustrate the validity or the invalidity of the connection claimed by LaFollette in (a) above. Is/was there a healthy, committed relationship in your life that is accurately explained by the activity view of the self? Why/not? How/not?"
Yes, BSing (or the ability to convincingly bluff and make quick decisions) is an important skill in the field of science. It allows scientists to think on their feet and come up with creative solutions to problems that may arise during experiments or research.
Yes, if used in excess or without proper justification, BSing can damage the credibility of a scientist. It is important to only use BSing when necessary and to always back up claims with evidence and research.
Scientists can improve their BSing skills by practicing and honing their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. They can also learn from experienced colleagues and attend workshops or seminars on communication and decision-making.
No, BSing should not be used in scientific publications as it goes against the principles of scientific integrity and honesty. Accurate data, evidence, and reasoning should always be used in scientific publications.
Yes, there are ethical concerns with using BSing in scientific research. Scientists have a responsibility to accurately report their findings and not manipulate data or results to fit a desired outcome. Using BSing in research can also potentially harm the credibility of the entire scientific community.
