The paper should focus on what you think would happen if a if a city or country , or some sizable society would go without laws. In this city there are no laws. You get to do whatever you want. What do you think would happen in such a city. What would be the immediate, mid term, and long term consequences of getting rid of laws.

The conceptual design for this database includes three tables:

Product(manufacturer_ID, model_nbr, group_ID, type_code)
PC(code, model, cpu_speed, ram_size, hd_size, price)
Printer(code, manufacturer_ID, model, ptr_type, price)
The Product table contains data on the manufacturer, model number, the ID number of the product group ('PC', 'Laptop', or 'Printer') and the code number for the type of device (ink jet, laser, desktop, portable, hand-held, etc.).
It is assumed that model numbers in the Product table are unique for all makers and product types.
Each personal computer in the PC table is uniquely identified by a serialized code and its model number (foreign key referring to the Product table), processor speed (in MHz) in the cpu_speed field, RAM size in Mb, hard disk drive capacity (in Gb), and its current sale price.
Each printer in the Printer table is identified by a serialized code number and its model number and manufacturer. Attributes for the printer type ('Laser', 'Jet', or 'Matrix'), and current sale price are also included in the Printer table.
Identify the primary and foreign keys, if any, in these tables.
Write the T-SQL statements to create these tables in the “stock” schema and the “hardgoods” database.
If there are any flaws in the design of the database tables, explain the issue to be corrected and include the correction in your code statements.
Write T-SQL queries to list:
the PCs and Printers (on separate queries) by product and manufacturer
all a manufacturer’s products (printer and PCs) in stock
all items in stock by sale price descending.
You are responsible for only the T-SQL statements for the above. You are not required to construct the database and process your statements. However, if you do (to test the statements), include a capture of the results for a few extra points.

Background: Thomas Kuhn is one of the most fascinating and controversial figures in the history of science. The “paradigm shift” has become one of the most recognized concepts of scientific theory-change. However, historians of Kuhn notice that he uses the term paradigm in different ways:

A paradigm in science is a set of shared generalizations, practices, and concepts among groups of scientists.

A paradigm is like a scientific world-view (or a conceptual picture of what the universe is like at that time period). Examples would be the Newtonian clockwork universe of classical mechanics, the probabilistic world of quantum theory governed by statistics, the Einstein picture of the universe as malleable spacetime, etc.

A paradigm is a set of exemplars or common models used in science education that form a skeleton of instruments and tools employed by scientists. Ex. Maxwell’s field equations, Colliding masses in Newton’s laws

Kuhn’s infamous insight is that scientists do not necessarily need to rationally agree what makes a paradigm “paradigmatic” when they practice science. Keep this in mind as you read the paper!

Read through the first two pages. Why does Kuhn argue that a shared paradigm among scientists does not necessarily imply a set of rules or shared beliefs governing practice? What is one example Kuhn gives to illustrate his argument? (50 - 100 words)

Read through 114-115. Kuhn explains that anomalies can cause paradigm shifts. How does this happen? (50 - 100 words)

Kuhn gives a lengthy description of the discovery of oxygen. What is the purpose of this example? How is it supposed to help his argument (50 - 100 words)

Read to the last page. Why does Kuhn mention “psychological experiment” as a way to model scientific discovery? (50 - 100 words)
