Sciencedaily Argument Analysis

As the saying goes, a dog is a man’s best friend. The dog is a loving companion to a man. He is happy to go everywhere with his master. He shows his affection for his master by wagging his tail and licking his hand or face. This timeless relationship continues to evolve into new kinds of human-dog interactions that increasingly benefit society.

Admittedly, this question took some time to process. Only because I interpreted the question, “Outline the scholarly arguments that support one of these positions,” as an intentional contradictory statement to “Technology has been called both the paper and pencil of our times.” In fact, I see these as harmonious statements with similar beliefs. If you accept technology as the “paper and pencil of our times,” then you must also accept as true that technology has established itself as a fundamental tool of teaching, which will presumably never be excluded from the classroom environment. For the sake of my paper, I will explore the scholarly arguments that support the praxis of technology as an integral part of the fabric of teaching and learning,

are not for illogical or irrational reasons. Many important factors stand out when looking at dog

The authors understanding about historical references seems to be weak, his statement isn’t supported by any evidence neither any statistics; without applying these criteria it shows how ineffective his argument is, providing a clearer statement with supported evidence and data will allow the reader to understand the authors article better and it will help get Graham point across in an effective manner.

I think the argument does effectively persuade its intended audience. The article is relevant and current. Even though there was not a lot of cited data the points that are brought up are convincing, like how Stanford has designed a curriculum to teach students how to evaluate the information they are looking at. The writer addresses the idea that many people who do not know how to find credible information believe things on the internet that could be very fake. This information causes them to look at issues and make decisions based of off these fake news articles. This idea is very relevant and even affects me when I question if something is real or not. I agree with the writer. All ages need to learn how to find credible information on the

There are many practical reasons to research alternate species. It allows researchers to investigate similarities between species; it can aid in providing insight into human neural systems and also provide progressive research in veterinarian fields. Social mammals species such as monkeys and dogs exhibit the ability to recognize and comprehend emotional facial expressions. A study performed on non-human primates attempted to uncover if monkey’s shared similar visual processing regarding the Thatcher illusion (Taubert, Belle, Vanduffel, Rossion, & Vogels, 2015). An optical illusion similar to the inversion effect, except not only are the faces displayed inverted, but also the eyes and mouth of the inverted face are presented in the original orientation. The study used fMRI and Electrophysiology neural processing in single-unit recordings. The results concluded that face-selective neurons that were out of the fMRI-defined face patches still responded similarly to the Thatcher illusion, which they suggest may display a difference in their functional properties in comparison to the ones found inside the functionally defined system. The researchers explained how this discovery addresses to the importance of fMRI-based research when recording single-cell responses. The researcher’s had previously known that the macaque’s neurons in the middle lateral

When you perform an experiment where you hide food under one of two cups, and let a dog pick which cup it’s in, a dog will to a human for cues. A chimpanzee won’t. As such, they’re very intent on watching our body language, noticing our tone, and observing our breathing. Using confident, deliberate speech, posture, and motions is the best way for dogs to feel safe and comfortable with you as their pack leader. This applies to human-dog interactions as well. When two dogs meet in a park, they check each other out, sniffing, watching.

Essentially, all of the comments are towards the girl and on her brilliance. There are some comments on how cute the dog is, but there are no comments on the behavior and brilliance of the dog. There is the one comment from the owner on the dog’s natural apport, which does suggest the owner is recognizing the dog’s brilliance. Do I think this is an example of Theory of Mind? Well, in some ways yes since the dog is watching the girl, trying to please her, and play with the toy that the girl wants. To my mind, that takes some higher thinking skills. However, this is could also be training; the dog could have been trained to respond like that, although since it is young, it is probably a more natural response from the dog. Anyhow, the point is we will probably not be able to answer whether this dog has Theory of Mind since essentially the dog cannot talk, and communicate back to us in words. Whereas other species can talk for instance, African Grey parrots can talk, Chimps know sign language and dolphins have a language too. However, even with those animals we do not know if they possess a full Theory of Mind, which would mean identical to a non-autistic

When shown photos of human faces exhibiting different emotions, dogs are also able to recognize the differences between photos. Rather than just studying dogs displaying learned behaviors, psychologists studied abstract representations of positive and negative emotion states in dogs. Seventeen dogs were shown pairs of pictures of either a happy or angry person and were also played either playful or aggressive

Scientists today wonder if dogs are sensitive to third-party interactions, the interactions of humans with other humans. Can a dog tell if a person is mean to another human, and will that dog act differently towards that human because of it? According to Dr. Kiley Hamlin's research, this skill, known as Social Eavesdropping, appears in humans when they are just three months old. Dr. Hitomi Chijiiwa and his companions tests dogs social eavesdropping skills in their scientific work published in the academic journal Animal Behavior titled

Dogs along time ago, hated people. People use to kill animals such as dogs, wolfs, and animals. People clarify they do not know the nature such as the feeling in the animals and that we see great apes or ourselves. They believe that more work is needed to know whether emotions are the same for dogs. People are very different than dogs.

The paper did address a specific hypotheses. One hypothesis was could dogs feel the emotion of jealousy. The evidence that they gathered leaned toward dogs actually having the capacity to feel jealousy. The other hypothesis was to see with jealousy was a

Dogs from little to big, playful to calm, and even fur to hair, are features many care about when adopting a puppy as a part of their family. For some, dogs are more than a “man’s best friend.” They are used for assistance for people with disabilities. Military, police service and people with mental disabilities are helped therapeutically by these furry animals. With approximately 78.2 million dogs in the United States, approximately 39 percent of U.S households owns at least one dog. For many years, humans have selectively bred dogs to bring about certain desired traits. This selective breeding has managed to produce hundreds of different dog breeds. However, according to The National Humane Education society, “breed manipulation can be a

According to Tom Cushing and his studies on anthropomorphism, “understanding canine behaviour by imposing the assumption that they perceive the world as we do—that their sensory inputs are limited to the capacities of our dull, sight-oriented biology” (Cushing, N/A). In other words, humans can’t see the world through a dog's perspective because they are smell oriented creatures meanwhile we are visual. For the majority of the time people are confused or angered by dogs unusual behaviors meanwhile they are just “responding to clear messages from the environment that we lack the wits to comprehend” (Cushing, N/A). This brings confusion and is unhealthy for a dog when their instinctual behaviors are punished or forced to change. Overall the main reason why we can't understand some of the things dogs due is because “while humans are visual creatures, dogs are olfactory” (Hecht, N/A). This leads back to the main epidemic that our treatment of animals like humans negatively affects them and most definitely isn’t appreciated. People may admonish a dog for digging in the yard as they see this is as bad behavior. In reality, the dog is smelling something that we don’t see or

Except for the proper evidence and clear reasons, an array of persuasive elements is also utilized in the passage to emphasize the main argument. In the first paragraph, for instance, the Times Editorial board skillfully uses a concession to analyze that increasing the minimum income will virtually cause employers to eliminate jobs and reduce their hours. This element, therefore, makes the argument more receptive and also clarifies the maturation of the author. More important, the concession in the opening can let the audience be persuaded more easily while they keep reading through the passage. Then, in the seventh paragraph, The Times Editorial board offers the audience an authentic contrast by claiming that unlike the situations in California,
