The Scientific Method in Daily Life

Question: Discuss how you use this method in your daily life, providing specific examples? Answer: Scientific method while thought to be a domain of exclusively scientific research in fact pervasive in various tasks we achieve in our everyday life. One of the examples in which scientific method can be applied in everyday life is preparation of a particular food dish from the recipe. Hence the objective is to prepare the food dish while we have a standard model in the form of the recipe. We try combination of different ingredients as data and thus evaluate the results obtained by tasting the dish prepared. Further on the basis of the taste (result) of the dish, the recipe may be altered till the goal of preparing the food dish is achieved. Similarly consider another common life situation where a persons objective is to write an article on a particular topic. First the person concerned researches on the internet about the topic so as to gain through knowledge, a process commonly known as literature review. Further based on the literature review a rough draft of the article may be pr epared which serves as the model which would enable the completion of the goal. The draft is self evaluated and responses are sought from friends and experts. These responses serve as data and are aimed towards the fine tuning of the model or the draft. This happens through continuous evaluation of the responses (data) and based on the feedback making changes in the draft which serves as the model. This is done till the final objective is served (Tibbets, 2012). Reference TIbbets, G.G. 2012.
