The Unstated Assumptions

It is not enough for a plaintiff merely to allege that they exist; he must set forth facts that, if true, would suffice to demonstrate that they exist.” Floor, 78 Md. App. at 175. In this case, the Parents have failed to allege facts that satisfy any of the aforementioned elements. Indeed, the Parents’ complaint fails to state facts sufficient to show that: 1) Cardenas acted intentionally or recklessly; 2) the Cardenas engaged in extreme or outrageous conduct; 3) that the Parents suffered any severe emotional response; and 4) that there was a causal connection between Cardenas’s conduct any emotional harm suffered by the Parents. As such, the Parents have failed to plead facts sufficient to state a claim for IIED. Therefore, the Defendants respectfully pray that this Court grant its motion to dismiss the Parents’ claim for

In science class we learn about observations and inferences. Observations are things that you can experience with your five senses; they are based on fact and can be proven based on the information present. Inferences are basically assumptions; a guess or hypothesis one creates based on their observations. Assumptions can be proven right or wrong as information is gathered or provided. This conundrum is something that all individuals must face in daily life; when we make assumptions, it can be an extremely dangerous practice or habit.

The confirmation bias also affected her perspective of The Children’s Place. She created a belief on false premises making claims that were not true. She created a vague hypothesis in her mind and because of her actions it was enough evidence to prove her hypothesis to be true.

The first chapter of Howard Fineman’s national best-selling book, The Thirteen American Arguments, focuses on Abraham Lincoln’s famous question, asking if everyone is a person. Are black men and women people? Are women people? Are unborn children people? Are gays people? Who in our constitutional scheme, is a person?

Freakonomics was one of the best novels that I have ever read! I am truly amazed at how Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner compared their study and research to the economy that we live in today. Out of all of the chapters in Freakonomics, Chapter 3: Conventional Wisdom, is the one that stood out the most. This particular topic relates to the world in many different ways.

What are the core assumptions and key features of the biological and psychoanalytic perspectives in psychology? In what ways are they similar and how do they differ?

Least Dangerous Assumption (Jorgenson, 2005) was a very thought-provoking read. Donnellan’s idea of least dangerous assumption, I agree with. Teachers should assume that students with significant disabilities are able to learn to assume the reverse is harmful to the students (Jorgenson, 2005).

An eyewitness can change the course of an investigation. However, how reliable that can be? People believe that we remember an event as exactly as it was, such as replaying the facts. Elizabeth Loftus is one of the leading researchers in the area of memory, and she found that memories are not accurately re-created. Reconstructing facts from our lives cannot be harmful, but it can be critical when deciding a criminal event. Loftus studies demonstrated that a simple wording question might change the eyewitness answer.

Earlier this Semester, I participated in "The Power Of Assumptions Activity" which took place during a training I was helping facilitate. I was asked a series of questions and then I had to stand by a sign in the room that answered the questions being asked. The signs had different pieces of a person 's identity listed on them. A few examples included: Socioeconomic status, Family, Education, and Race. As the activity progressed, I realized that I don 't think about how the Racial piece of my identity affects my life as much as some other pieces. "The Power Of Assumptions Activity" allowed me to experience the uncertainty of not knowing how I would answer one of the questions on the contrary experience the opposite by answering many questions right away and which sign to stand under. "The Power Of Assumptions Activity" surprised me as I saw myself standing alone and also with other people depending on the questions that was asked and how each person decided to answer the questions for themselves. I chose this example to illustrate to introduce my paper about my Racial identity and also the challenge of writing this paper and reflecting on my Racial identity.

A large part to this justification is the idea of future-oriented consent, the concept that once the child grows up and realizes the consequences of his chasing the ball, he will agree that the interference of an outsider was justified. Another example for which this concept can be applied is the matter of seat belts. The question of whether or not a person should be punished for not wearing a seat belt, I believe, can be answered by comparing it to the previous example. If a person were to be involved in a car accident and be seriously injured because he was not wearing a seat belt, he would come to the realization that he should have been wearing it. At this point, he will realize that his personal health is worth the inconvenience of putting on his seat belt. The fact that any logical, rational person will come to this realization justifies the interference of an outside party, the government in this example. If this person does not realize that his health and his life is worth putting on a seat belt, it is safe to say that this person is illogical and irrational. If this is the case, a decision can be forced upon him for his own well being; the same way that it would be for a child for the same reasons. One opposition to this reasoning is that an adult differs from a child in that it is presumed that the adult can understand the consequences of his action

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.

What are cultural assumptions? Cultural assumptions are defined as assumptions that are commonly known throughout a culture. These assumptions are highly relevant in the modern society we live in. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, you will always have your own assumptions. Literature plays a key part in what kind of assumptions we will have, right from the age we begin to process information in our minds. This leads me to the assumption that has stuck with us since our childhood days. Stepmothers. There is a strong cultural assumption that stepmothers are ‘evil’ people, who force their way into other families and are malicious to their stepchildren. Assumptions like this influence our perceptions and lead

Historically, humanism finds its roots in the mid-20th century. Abraham Maslow developed his hierarchical theory of motivation in 1943. Carl Rogers published person centered therapy in 1946. In the 1950’s, Maslow and Clark Moustakas invited others to meetings among other psychologists interested in forming an association dedicated to a more humanistic perspective.

When we were kids our parents make it priority to teach us moral, values, and instill in us certain beliefs. So teaching was instilled us based on cultural, and many was taught to us based on ways to deal with negative societal influences. Assumptions is other component we operate in daily. As we grow into adults we make assumptions based on our values and beliefs. When I think about values, beliefs, and assumptions many different thought come to mind.

What kind of tribe is the Eneon? We do not have much information about this tribe as the anthropologists had just found out their existence. We only have limited information we received from the anthropologists. The information are based on the environment and climate they live in, the food they eat, their family and children, books and arts and their social aspect and attitudes toward war that the Eneon tribe are live in.
