In each section you will write the example and details to the law that was broken.
Psychology is a "fuzzy" science, but it's still a science. The reason why Psychology and Human Growth and Development is a fuzzy science is because we will never be able to test Humans with extreme elements and factors without committing serious international laws. For example, Hitler conducted numerous experiments on the Jews such as, Freezing / Hypothermia,Infectious Diseases, and Interrogation and Torture. There is reason why these two subjects will most likely always stay a fuzzy science.

At this point it must be clear to the intelligent reader that clinical psychology can make virtually any claim and offer any kind of therapy, because there is no practical likelihood of refutation – no clear criteria to invalidate a claim. This, in turn, is because human psychology is not a science, it is very largely a belief system similar to religion http://www.arachnoid.com/psychology/ Psychologist Timothy D. Wilson, a professor at the University of Virginia, expressed resentment in his Times Op-Ed article on Thursday over the fact that most scientists don't consider his field a real science. He casts scientists as condescending bullies: "Once, during a meeting at my university, a biologist mentioned that he was the only faculty member present from a science department. When I corrected him, noting that I was from the Department of Psychology, he waved his hand dismissively, as if I were a Little Leaguer telling a member of the New York Yankees that I too played baseball. http://articles.latimes.com/2012/jul/13/news/la-ol-blowback-pscyhology-science-20120713

Psychology is considered a "fuzzy" or "soft" science due to the fact that the ability to experiment is very difficult, but it is possible. Science is all about being able experiment with theorys and variables and comparing data to prove its validity, but with psychology it can be more difficult a task and there are more variables involved. Psychology does still follow the fundamental science method which means it is a science. http://askville.amazon.com/psychology-science/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=4048396

You are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts. I feel as if Bill O'reilly is wrong on this video. Christianity is a religion as where Bill is saying that it is a philosophy. I am very perplexed on what to actually believe on this matter. I feel that Bill is entitled to his own opinions but his facts are not are so far out there that he really doesn't know what he is talking about.

Science runs on careful criticism. I'm sure we have all heard of the Power Balance bracelets, and thought to our selves do these really work? They are suppose to increase ones strength, flexibility, and balance. This is just a shrewd trick known as the placebo effect.A placebo effect is an i neffectual treatment for a disease or other medical condition intended to deceive the recipient. Here the trick is the bracelet.

In this video below it explains the Power Balance Bracelet and how it is marketed to work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPh4QmibvNQ

As you can see the demonstration is quite convincing. After doing some research I found another video that explained how they deceived the buyer to believe that the bracelet actually improved ones strength, balance, and flexibility.

It was just a simple change in direction to where they pushed to demonstrate the strength and balance, and for the flexibility it actually seem to have had an adverse effect. Either way when purchasing or believing something such as this one should always do their research.

Fight fire with fire, and data with data.

There's power in precise terms.

I'm sure growing up we were all taught that Pluto was a planet. Well at that time it seemed that we did not fully understand what type of planet Pluto was. Until 2006 when astronomers voted to name Pluto as a dwarf planet.

Correlation is not causation. I'm sure we have all studied or learned about the Bubonic plague back in history class. It is also known as the Black Death back when it knocked out nearly a third of the worlds population back in 1347. The people that lived from western Europe to Russia all thought it was the cats and the dogs that were the culprit for spreading the disease. To a certain extent this is true. It was actually the fleas on the animals that were causing the spread of the disease. Thinking it was the cats and the dogs they had them exterminated, even though the disease kept spreading they had no idea why. It was actually the rats who were the real pest carrying the fleas that were spreading the madness.

More of something good isn't always better.

Beware the plausible, especially if it works.

Lack of evidence doesn't mean it's false.
