I need help with a English question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

Theories and hypotheses are quite different from each other, but students often get them confused. Explain the difference and why you need both for solid scientific research.

• Write at least 100 words in your initial posting

______________

A hypothesis is either a proposed explanation for a perceptible phenomenon or a reasoned prognosis of a likely causal association among multiple phenomena. Now a theory is composed to explain, anticipate and understand the phenomena. It is a set of tested, unifying,validated explanation for corroborated and proved factors.

Both hypothesis and theory are of grave important in any scientific research. In hypothesis, researchers speculate relation between variables in an experiment involving more than just a guess. Hypothesis usually starts with a question and then it is further investigated through inconspicuous research. This is the moment when researchers can give validation to their hypothesis. Now the theoretical framework of any research is the formation that holds or supports it. Theory provides factors for conjectures and is solidified as more evidence is acquired. It is always speculative but has a tendency to generate new research.

• Respond to the above post, writing a minimum of three to four sentences each

______________

The two words hypothesis and theory are words of great use in research and they tend to pose a challenge in defining their difference. A hypothesis is simply a supposition made before any research has been finalized for the sake of testing while a theory is a mainly a principle that has been set to elucidate phenomena already supported by data. In research, a hypothesis is developed to explain annotations while a theory is set to clarify a hypothesis that has passed a sequence of tests.

In scientific research both theories and hypotheses are key features. In scientific research, a theory helps design a research question and guides the researcher on the selection of relevant data. Then the hypothesis is then proposed to explain the facts developed from the theory.

• Respond to the above post, writing a minimum of three to four sentences each

Throughout this course, you will look at how you engage with others through written communication and how you can use research in a variety of different types of settings, including academic, professional, and personal.

Primary Discussion Response

To begin the process, choose a trending topic that is preferably related to your field of study, and find information on that topic in the following locations:

• Online news outlet (CNN, AP, New York Times, local news online, etc.)
• Twitter
• Wiki
• Library database or Google Scholar

When considering topic choices, select topics that fall under the broad umbrella of your field of study. Consider the following examples:

• Health care
  • Current health crisis or controversial medical issue
• Security studies
  • Controversial criminal case, legislation issues, and so forth
• Business and management
  • Trending topics in the corporate world
• Computer science and IT
  • IT and security issues
  • Prospering or failing technology companies
  • Controversies related to technology

Note: You may choose a trending topic with which you are already familiar, but if you would like additional ideas for topics, skim online news outlets for stories or touch base with your instructor for additional suggestions.

Once you have completed your research, develop your initial post by filling out the Unit 1 Discussion Board Template, which must include the following 3 components:

1. Introduce yourself to your classmates. In your introduction, include a little bit about why you decided to work on your degree, what degree you are pursuing, and what your professional goals are after graduation.
2. Identify your chosen trending topic and provide a link to one article or press release, one tweet, one wiki entry, and one scholarly source relating to that topic.
3. Answer the following questions:
   • Who is the intended audience for each of the communications?
   • Which of the sources would you identify as credible? Which of the sources would be appropriate for use in an academic setting? Professional setting? Did you feel that any of the sources were not credible for use? Why?
   • Identify what you think was the purpose for each of these communications (to inform, to educate, to entertain, to persuade, etc.). How effective do you think each communication was in accomplishing the writer’s purpose?

Do not attach the template. Instead, copy and paste your filled-out template directly into the Discussion Board.
