History: When Virtusa was founded back in 1996, Kris Canekeratne became the CEO of the company whose valuation today has crossed billions.

When I first started studying Philosophy of Science, I have to admit that I had no single idea about the first thing of philosophy. I thought it was just another boring subject that I have to study hard whether I liked it or not. I was really mad even more after getting to know that I have to submit web posts, a reflection article, a blog, a Perusall reading, complete 1000 seeds on the CN,   and even a quiz EVERY WEEK. But, when the time passed by, and new topics were introduced every week, I eventually fell in love with the course because now I have a great window of opportunity to learn new things, practice new methods, and also teach my fellow course-mates and learn from them as well. Today, I am going to list the different aspects of philosophy of science each week. WEEK 01 INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSOPHY Philosophy is a way of thinking about ethics, thought, existence, time, meaning, and value, among other to

Basically, it's what you're expecting to happen in a study. If/then statements are the most common form of hypothesis writing. What may happen because of the possible outcome of this statement is explained in this statement (then). You could also use the word "may" in the sentence. However, a hypothesis cannot always be proven to be true based on analysis of the results. That is why a test or an experiment is performed in order to prove the validity of the hypothesis. Hypothesis vs Theory Scientists construct hypotheses before conducting any relevant research, aside from a basic background review. You ask a question, do some research, and then form a hypothesis. Then, you test your hypothesis.  On the contrary, a theory is an attempt to explain something that has already been supported by data. Because of the experimentation and the data the theory is based on,

 What is Scientific Explanation? Image Credit:  Particle Our explanations of how the world definitely worked thousands of years ago mostly were not very accurate, which is fairly significant. A god’s praise or vengeance essentially was blamed for things we couldn’t understand in a big way. Or, we literally were led to actually believe that the world mostly was random, sort of contrary to popular belief. We now generally have a much sort of better understanding of why things definitely are the way they basically are thanks to science, or so they essentially thought. The study of the natural world through observation and experimentation sort of is remarkably known as science. A distinctly scientific explanation uses observations and measurements to for all intents and purposes explain something exceptionally observed in nature. Scientific explanations should be predominantly logical and singularly match the evidence, or at in most cases least as usually much of the evidence as predominan

What is the definition of gender equality? Gender equality is defined by the United Nations as women and men having equal access to socially valuable goods, opportunities, resources, and rewards. Gender equality is viewed as a fundamental human right. It does not imply that women and men are the same, as the most prevalent misunderstanding of gender equality suggests. Gender equality is vital to a country's growth because it ensures long-term success. Women must be empowered at all levels in order to achieve gender equality. Some people in Sri Lanka do not consider gender inequality to be a problem. Some even believe that gender equality is an idea that western countries are instilling into society. In this essay, we will look at three different elements of women in Sri Lanka: employment, education, and political representation.

One critical question about race is whether it is a biological or a social category. Most people think of race in biological terms, and race has indeed served as the “premier source of human identity” for more than 300 years, or since white Europeans began colonizing populations of color elsewhere in the world. It is undeniable that people all over the world differ physically in some obvious ways. The most obvious difference is skin tone: some people have very dark skin, while others have very light skin. Other distinctions exist as well. Some people have extremely curly hair, whereas others have extremely straight hair. Some people have thin lips and others have thick lips. Some groups of people are relatively tall, whereas others are relatively short. Using physical differences as criteria, scientis
