For example, it is my opinion that .SK is not contributing to this thread. One cannot say that my opinion regarding .SK's thread contribution is right or wrong, namely because it's my opinion. Right and wrong are statements meant for questions like 1+1=2.

Though one could surely say that the argument insinuated by your opinion is popularly incorrect as he added a bit of humor to the thread whilst you only said that his humor(in your opinion) was inappropriate.

Positive science
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Positive (social sciences))
Jump to: navigation, search

In the humanities and social sciences, the term positive is used in a number of ways.

One usage refers to analysis or theories which only attempt to describe how things are, as opposed to how they should be. In this sense, the opposite of positive is normative. An example would be positive, as opposed to normative, economic analysis. Positive statements are also often referred to as descriptive statements.

The term positive lies at the heart of one of the major epistemological debates in the humanities and social sciences. Positivists (in the humanities and social sciences) on the one hand, advocate a 'value-free' approach to the study of humanity that shares much in common with methods employed in the natural sciences. Positivists seek only to make objective descriptions of humanity and society without making normative judgements. In contrast non-positivists reject the notion that the methods of the natural sciences are adequate in explaining and describing humanity and society - this is primarily because of the 'meanings' that humans attach to their actions. They believe that it is not possible to be completely value-free in their study, as a person cannot stand totally removed from their place within space and history. Humanistic Sociology is an example of a post-positive approach to social science.

Another sense of the word positive is used to describe things which are defined by construction, as opposed to things which are defined "negatively", by the absence of something else. Examples are negative and positive rights, or negative and positive liberty.

In philosophy, normative is usually contrasted with positive, descriptive or explanatory when describing types of theories, beliefs, or statements. Descriptive (or constative) statements are falsifiable statements that attempt to describe reality. Normative statements, on the other hand, affirm how things should or ought to be, how to value them, which things are good or bad, which actions are right or wrong.

Logos, the "..." is known as an ellipse. Just a little FYI.

Anywho, again I feel that a bit of description of the setting would be nice to help visualize the story as it happens. Bit better on the commas this time I noticed, but you also might want to find words other than "quickly" to use in describing speed.

I like the metric system better, more precise, easier to use, more common, ect. Also, it is somewhat assumed that this is a medival period, though the entire setting, the situation with the country, or even where the characters are is to be explained later.

An opinion is an opinion. A statement of which you feel that you believe is right. And in such, you have no right to reject one's statement of anything, but you have the right to ignore it.

Mortality is the frail existance upon which human kind, and all othe other species live. It is one's knowledge of their limits of just how far they can go.

Immortaity is based on more then one idealogy. One idea of immortality is the though of living forever. Another idea of immortality is your thoughts and dreams are carried on through existance for all times.
By case of the second idea, someone who is never forgotten is theorietically immortal. Like, Thomas Jefferson, or Mozart. They're work will never be forgotten, and thus they can never be snuffed from existance.
