The Truth Ears Off Analysis
I chose an article from The New Yorker titled “The Truth Wears Off” by Jonah Lehrer that was published in December of 2010. In summary, the article discusses how over time scientists are discovering in ever more frequency that scientific studies cannot be replicated. Scientists have discovered that over time and multiple attempts of replication, many such studies are unable to produce data that is similar to their first discoveries. Or due to the shear number of scientific studies out there, data presented is not being replicated, and therefore enters into society as relatively unproven. This phenomenon has yet to be explained, and definitely needs further study.

    The Chosen: Silence Analysis

    Silence serves as a symbol, signifying many things in The Chosen, by Chaim Potok. Throughout the book, Reb Saunders rarely converses with his Danny unless it is about Talmud or their religion. In chapter 18, he says that he did this to teach his son to understand and feel pain and suffering. In addition, he does this because this was the way he was raised by his own father. Reb Saunders wanted his son to grow up with the soul of a tzaddik so that he may be able to feel the suffering all over the world. Nevertheless, it is disputed whether or not Reb Saunders’ method was completely successful because Danny does not seem any more compassionate than Reuven. Also, when Reb Saunders imposed silence upon his family, Danny reluctantly hid things from his father, including his dream of becoming a psychologist instead of a tzaddik. However, at the end of the novel, when Mr. Malter asks him if he will raise his children in silence, he replies that he will if there is no other ways. This shows that Danny does not abhor the way he was raised, but he acknowledges that there are better approaches.…

    The Great Influenza Rhetorical Analysis Essay

    Believe it or not, it was once illegal to teach the theory of evolution to children in school. A teacher in Tennessee named John Scopes had violated this law in the 1900s, which resulted in the John Scopes trial. This trial marked the shift of the beliefs of Americans from religion to science. Scientific research has been going on for decades and it has, for the most part, helped improve our lives, but it is a very tough field. In The Great Influenza, author John M. Barry used juxtaposition, listing, and structure to characterize scientific research as a challenging and uncertain field that requires a lot of courage to accept defeat, but also have the determination…

The film shows Deaf individuals of all ages, children to grown-ups. With their similar deafness, the kids and grown-ups in this film communicate their dreams, thoughts and ideas through sign language which is used for them to communicate.

    Why Do Contrarians Agree With A Scientific Consensus

    Firstly, research results can be complicated and generally confusing to a nonscientist, therefore the public must convey large amounts of trust in scientists. This aids contrarians in creating a credible counterargument and splitting the scientific consensus (Task #1). Most people have no scientific baseline from which to make informed opinions so they gather information from “experts” from both sides of a scientific story. Secondly, science in general is an objective project, scientists stress that their results are always falsifiable and that continued research is necessary to strengthen a scientific finding. For example, Roger Revelle started a talk to the AAAS about climate change by saying, “There is a good but by no means certain chance that the world’s average climate will become significantly warmer during the next century” (191). Contrarians used this ambiguous statement as a way to show that scientists are unsure of their work, when in fact there is no “certain chance” in any scientific trend. In order to remain trustworthy, scientists must always instill a sense of impartiality that is misconstrued as…

    Tell The Truth Brad Blanton Analysis

    Should lying ever be considered an action to do? Lying has been considered a wrongful deed however people still do it for multiple reasons. Even though most of the time people should tell the truth, there are situations where it's better to manipulate the facts. For example according to “It’s the Truth: Americans Conflicted about Lying” ethics columnist Randy Cohen states that lying is used to protect people from harm. Tim from “Teens do their share of lying” says that lying can save one from a beatdown by their parents. Brad Blanton from “Brad Blanton: Honestly Tell the Truth” however states that lying is stressful to one and telling the truth is easier, but a lie can help people out and no one can be honest all the time.…

    Ineffective Listening Analysis

    Three types of ineffective listening I found in the breakup are pseudo listening, stage hoggers, and selective listening. Pseudo listening is where one pretends to listen to another and isn’t fully paying attention. An example from the movie is in the beginning when Gary comes home to Brooke cooking dinner and he sits down on the couch to watch his sports. Brooke asks Gary to help her with some things before their dinner guests arrive and he is too distracted by the TV to listen, so he just acts like he’s acknowledging what she’s saying so he can watch his sports in peace. A stage hogger is where someone turns a conversation into a discussion that’s all about them. In the movie Gary becomes a stage hogger when he’s playing video…

    Paradigm Shift Anthropology

    The scientific community can be seen to be defined by its allegiance to its paradigm. These outliers, those with ideas either opposing or falling outside the bounds of the paradigm are strongly resisted as Kuhn noted. Change does not come easily. Years of research and consensus are bound to the existing paradigm, changing this worldview that the community holds takes more than someone disagreeing. Necessary requirements must be met. First and foremost is the necessity for data, new data. Data is the currency of science; buying yourself a new…
