Analysis Of Toni Cade's Explanations Of Scientific Concepts

On December 17, 2016, the complainant reported that she was engaged in an argument with her wife Lynn Townsend (Lynn) over Christmas decorations. The argument became physical and Lynn along Kiyanna Townsend (Kiyanna) and Michelle Townsend (Michelle) assaulted the complainant by striking her in the face several times with a handgun and punching and kicking her in the face and body. The complainant described the gun as a black semi-automatic handgun with and extend magazine. The complainant was transported to GW hospital and treated for her injuries. A sixth district detective was requested to assist with the investigation.

Dr. Neil dGrasse Tyson does not believe that UFOs exist because there is no evidence that supports the idea. Throughout his discussion, Dr. Tyson used a variety of rhetorical appeals to convey his message. Kairos is in effect when the timing is right to evoke a certain response from one's audience, usually the desired response is a call of action. This appeal also takes into account where the location is, when the speech is delivered, and why the topic needs to be addressed. The location of the event seemed to be in an auditorium, which is great because the message is being heard by a lot of people. The speech was delivered within the last ten years because the speaker has an Iphone. In the past ten years there seems to be a strong presence

“What, if anything, lies beyond our senses?”- Neil deGrasse Tyson. Neil deGrasse Tyson is an Astrophysics and also the author of “Coming To Our Senses”, which was published March 1st, 2001. This is a rhetorical essay arguing that our senses are limited. Neil deGrasse Tyson used allusions, ethos, and logos effectively to deliver an essay about our five senses to a non-scientific audience. One rhetorical device that the author used was allusions.

Jessie Little Doe Baird is an incredible linguist whose groundbreaking work at MIT helped to bring back the said to be death language of the Wampanoag indians of Massachusetts. She is working to bring the language more into the light and the ancient culture as well by teaching classes, creating programs, and even a dictionary for the words of the language. This work can help us to understand an article previously discussed in class by James clifford, on the Mashpee indian tribe. This article was about the disagreement over whether or not the Mashpee indians were considered to be an official tribe. They had been told that since they had been so integrated into modern society, by marriage, migration, language, and religion, that they no longer held a tribal culture nor legal tribal status. The proclaimed Mashpee tribe attempted to fight this, with arguments that their land was stipped from them in the past and that their culture was still alive. In the end, the verdict was that since the Mashpee had lost their tribal status years ago, they could no longer be considered a tribe.

Based on the title of this episode, I expected it to talk about the depths of the ocean, but I was wrong. Instead the episode began by discussing condensation and evaporation and the sun’s effect on each one of these mechanisms. Neil Degrasse Tyson then dived deep into a water trap to further express the contents of the drop, and the water bears appeared once again, their small but rigid tolerance allows them to survive almost everywhere. The episode then began to discuss the structure of a plant at a molecular level and Photosynthesis. There was one thing that I found very interesting in this episode and that was then sectioned that talked about Charles Darwin’s prediction about the orchid's nectar. He believed that everything as created for a reason, if the Orchid had nectar at the end of their narrow stems there must be an animal capable of retrieving that nectar, and he was right a fly was discovered in Madagascar that had a lengthy tongue, one that was used to suck up the nectar from the bottom of the

Module 1 Assignment Introduction When determining whether or not an individual is being deceptive or truthful they demonstrate verbal and nonverbal markers. Pamela Meyer's Ted Talks “How to Spot a Liar” (2011) specifically explains these tactics. In our lecture presented by Murray Bartley (2015), he shows our class a video named “The Reid Interview Technique” to practice distinguishing between deception and truth. There were two cases presented in the video, the first being Mary Stanton. Mary Stanton is being accused of fondling the boy she babysits Brad Johnson, son of Marlene Johnson.

For issue 1.4 the discussion explored the question of whether or not sexual problems should be treated pharmaceutically. Connie Newman advocated for pharmaceutical treatment while Anita Hoffer argued against. Connie Newman presented her argument with various research, referring to the DSM to support her argument that sexual problems were not only a psychological but also physiological problem. She also laid out a comprehensive timeline demonstrating how the sexual problems have been viewed and treated over the years, progressing from purely a psychological based treatment to VIAGRA being an accepted method of treatment for male patients with erectile dysfunction (McKee, 2013, p. 51). However she did recognize that treatments for women had not

The women's rights movement arose during the nineteenth century in Europe and America in response to inequalities between the role of men and Women in society. During this time, advocates fought for the right to own property, equal wages, educational opportunities, and vote. However, Rebecca Solnit brought a different side of the argument, where she challenged gender inequality in urban space. In the United States and the Western World, Rebecca says almost every city is named after a famous historian who wielded power and had influence over that specific area. Rebecca goes as far describing New York a horde of dead men. “Their names are on streets, buildings, parks, squares, colleges, businesses, and banks, and their figures are on monuments.”

Nothing feels better than enjoying a sport and, in return, receiving recognition for all the hard work and determination. There has been a controversy on whether kids should be recognized for just participating in the sport and playing a little to no role on the team. Vivian Diller believes that kids should not be given such awards, as it will have negative effects on them, while Lisa Heffernan argues that kids should be given participation awards because it will have a positive effect on them. Their different point of views results in a disagreement among values, definitions, and priority between the two writers.

After years of improving their critical reading skills, academic post-secondary students may be shocked to find out that they have been thinking too critically. In Kathleen Fitzpatrick’s “Generous Thinking”, she effectively encourages a changed mindset for university students that is open to new ideas, when engaging with scholarly writing. Her clear argumentative writing style in this piece convinces readers of her opinion on our current post-secondary education system; however, in the argument’s clarity, it blurs the significance of reading critically. Fitzpatrick demonstrates clarity in “Generous Thinking” by identifying her audience, developing purpose, and appealing to logic and emotion in her formal and precise piece of writing to criticize

“Our senses are faulty data-taking devices, and they need help,” states Neil deGrasse Tyson, an American astrophysicist, author, and director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History. In his scientific essay “Coming to Our Senses,” published in Natural History Magazine, Tyson explores the idea of the five senses being limited and needing help from technology. Through Tyson’s use of ethical appeals, allusions, and hypothetical scenarios, he is able to effectively convince the readers that humans need to use their five senses and technology to explore and understand the world around them.

Jonathan Vogel wrote Skepticism and Inference to the Best Explanation as a solution to accept the real world hypothesis over any skeptical hypothesis. Vogel presents a compelling argument for a definitive reason to accept that the world we are experiencing is in fact the real world. I believe that Vogel’s argument falls short of proving a reason for accepting the real world hypothesis over a skeptical one. In this paper I will clearly explain Vogels argument, explain some important concepts to understand, and attempt to refute the argument.

A scientific thinker is someone who makes meaningful connections between chemistry and everyday life, collaborates with other scientists regularly, asks questions to deepen their understanding, supports their claims with evidence, and has advanced knowledge of scientific language. In order to be a scientific thinker, one must have a deep appreciation of all scientific studies and understand each thoroughly.

In the first chapter of the book “ Teaching For Conceptual Understanding in Science” by (Konicek-Moran and Keeley , 2015), authors’ focus is in on identifying the conceptual understanding accurately by providing adequate explanations, comparisons and examples. juxtaposing studying for conceptual understanding with the old direct instruction in order to manifest the authentic usefulness of applying scientific strategies depends on using the conceptual understanding. Thereafter, the book indicate to the real effectiveness for applying it in a wide range of scientific associations and the high significant for differentiating between the science language and the language that students use In their daily life which cannot be acceptable in scientific environment in light of several reasons such as words or phrases that commonly provide faulty meanings rather than the intended.

Knowledge can be accepted or refuted, hence what determines accepted knowledge? I believe ‘accepted knowledge’ is that which has been tested whereby sufficient evidence has been collected to support certain knowledge claims. However, it is important to consider times when knowledge has been refuted. Despite strong belief that we possess objective facts, through research and technological progresses, such facts become re-interpreted in light of new evidence and discoveries. Personally, discarded knowledge refers to theories or laws being dismissed as new-found information proves more accurate. However, knowledge can also be amended as it is evolves. Knowledge is often discarded or amended due to technological progresses or changing social trends. Taking both a natural and a human science in IB, I feel that knowledge is more readily discarded in the natural sciences whereas in the human sciences knowledge is amended as certain theories evolve. This suggests that knowledge is not static hence leading to the main knowledge issue which will be explored: “To what extent is knowledge within the human and natural sciences provisional?
