Comparisons+Dominic

One of my big comparisons is in natural sciences and the social sciences/humanities. They have completely different views on truths, methods, results, facts and ontology. These differences make it very difficult to share results and findings between these fields. In fact these fields usually have deep distrust at worse, or ignorance at best between each other. But many of the questions that both these areas are starting to ask can only be asked by sharing and linking results and finding together. At a deeper look at these differences, we see that they can be very similar in more ways. For example Quantitate data and analysis is seen by the natural sciences as objective, when in fact many of the assumptions and models they are built upon are completely subjective. There in great subjectivity in what the natural sciences view as objective.

Another comparison is that of the humanities working alone in the last, and now starting to collaborate more together (sometimes through the use of technology). This historical difference must be highlighted by the work and study itself.
