...CRT/205 Taking a Position Part A • Defrauding a company. This is unethical and illegal. • She suspended judgment because she knows that what Tonya was doing was wrong but also would like a raise. She stays neutral because Tonya is a friend. • I believe she used logic as well as moral judgment. She used logic with how she interacted with Tonya and moral judgment when she reported it. • She used logic with Tonya by not directly opposing her actions. She used moral judgment by reporting Tonya to HR. Part B • My issue concerned my brother. My brother is mulatto and many people would make fun of him and call him names because he is African American. People would make fun of him and for a long time I would just remove myself from the situation. I decided that it was my job to stand up for my brother. • I would suspend judgment before taking a position. I clearly didn't know what to do in fear of the outcome. Even when I would stand up for him, I had to decide if it was my place and if it would make a difference. • I did use logic when I was determining if I should just let him handle it or I should help him stand up for himself. Most of the judgment eventually ended up being of moral value. It is not right in any shape or form to make fun of others regardless. • I would resolve the conflict for a while. For my final in debate class in high school, I chose to talk about the actions of others reflecting negatively in others lives, based on my experience...

...Vagueness, Ambiguity, and Clarity in Writing CRT/205: Critical Thinking December 7, 2012 Gecobie Davis When I looked further into Capital punishment laws I found a very interested story about when it first started. The first established death penalty laws date as far back as the Eighteenth Century B.C. in the Code of King Hammurabi of Babylon, which codified the death penalty for 25 different crimes. The death penalty was also part of the Fourteenth Century B.C.'s Hittite Code; in the Seventh Century B.C.'s Draconian Code of Athens, which made death the only punishment for all crimes, and in the Fifth Century B.C.'s Roman Law of the Twelve Tablets. Death sentences were carried out by such means as crucifixion, drowning, beating to death, burning alive, and impalement. I think the United States should ban using capital punishment because many of them don’t do serious crimes then others. Look at the case of Brian Dugan is one of the people that the United States reconsider to use the capital punishment. I think if a person breaks the law any type of form of fashion they are responsible for their own actions. Brain Dugan execution took more than twice as normal time to do and appeared to some families member that was in a suffering process at the time of crime happen(Chicago tribune, 2011). I feel like the government is doing what they can to put these criminals in jail for killing, murdering, raping, and kidnapping another human being. I think by giving them life in...

...What is Critical Thinking? Alice Steward CRT 205 June 30, 2013 Mrs. Sheila Skelton What is Critical Thinking? In critical thinking we normally don’t think how we think. Day in day out us make decisions, new ideas, and draw conclusions on the situation at hand and evaluate other people’s opinions. Most of our actions are not at random and often require careful consideration. If we were to make the wrong decision when evaluating a situation, the final decision could be flawed. Also if emotions are involved in the analysis it could become clouded and it would result in the risk of being a biased decision. If the correct amount of time is not taking to gather all the facts then the probability of the solution could be lost. When a person accepts what they want to hear at face they tend to run the risk of being manipulated also. To avoid all of these mishaps it is very important to use critical thinking. When using critical thinking we have the ability to separate facts from opinions. It means having the correct thought process t ask questions when needed. With critical thinking it uncovers assumptions, makes assertion based on the logic and evidence of the situation at question. Critical thinking is also the discipline which uses information, experience, observation, and reasoning to guide in the decision process (Ferrett, 1997). Critical thinking plays an important role in the decision making process because it improves our performance by us developing and understanding...

...The Importance of Deductive Reasoning ********-***** CRT/205 March 9th, 2014 DEQUILAH BRANDON The Importance of Deductive Reasoning Whenever making a decision, it is always to understand as much background information as possible. In the arguments presented there is more information needed to base a decision on. In the first argument, one could say the trainer gets paid more than enough for his job as a trainer, and his cleaning the bathroom and gym to get extra compensation could be completely unwarranted. Also the amount of cleaning he is doing. If he only has to do small things and not much extra because of the size of the gym or frequency of use it might be possible all this “cleaning” could be very little extra. In the second argument the decision to buy a new car hinges on a few factors. Whether leasing or buying are the options, there are more options. They could buy a used car for a bigger discount if price is an issue. Sally wants safety for their children and Mark wishes for the car of his dreams, but there are more choices than just those two types of vehicles. Argument 3 misses one key factor when buying versus renting a home and that is location. This drives the prices either way up or reduces them. There are also other options for living than buying a house or renting an apartment. Argument 4 covers much of the important information needed in making the decision in which schooling is right for their children, however they do leave out one way of schooling...

...Differentiating Reasoning CRT 205 August 21, 2011 Article #1: "Homeschoolers Deserve Equal Access to Extracurricular Activities." In this article I believe that the author used a deductive argument. The issue described pertains to the population of home schooled children in the state of Alabama having the right to participate in interscholastic extracurricular activities. The author argues several points that lead to the same conclusion; that homeschoolers have the same right to join extracurricular sports in the community as public or private school children. “Interscholastic extracurricular activities are an important complement to the academic curriculum. Participation in a comprehensive extracurricular and academic program contributes to student development of the social and intellectual skills necessary to become a well-rounded adult.” “Public schools do not "own" competitive athletics; they belong to the students, their families, and the residents of Alabama.” Several valid premises are made through this argument that I believe make it deductive. “A homeschooled student is a student just the same as a public or private schooled student and therefore deserves equal and fair treatment, especially by the state sponsored educational establishment. This should apply to athletics as well as academics.” Another point that was made, that I find to be a little disturbing, is the premise that an illegal immigrant can enroll a child into our public school...

...Final Project Marijuana Use Is Harmful Mariah Di Toto 4/20/2014 CRT 205 Source #1 Title and Citation: Marijuana Use is Harmful This article is convincing readers that marijuana use is harmful for your memory, coordination and respiratory functions. It is also found to raise the risks of heart attacks, cancer and addiction. The only areas that seem to be vague is where this article starts talking about the effects of marijuana, and not explaining how much it takes before it effects you in those ways. Also how long a person has to be a marijuana user in order for these long term effects to actually start to arise. They seem to not know exactly what the long-term effects on the brain are, but says it effects your memory. Their finding seems to be inconsistent, so their argument for saying it is actually bad for your memory can’t actually be proven 100%. I do find this source to be credible based off of the information that is given. This article is broken up into sections that talk about the main effects of marijuana usage. It lists statistics throughout the article and studies that have been conducted. However, I do believe they are only taking one side where marijuana can be useful in a lot of cases not mentioned here. It isn’t all negatives when it comes to marijuana usage. I do not believe that any rhetorical devices were used by this author. The author stuck to simple details and studies, and did not go on exaggerating or relating...

...ELECTRONIC WASTE MANAGEMENT IN INDIA–ISSUES AND STRATEGIES KURIAN JOSEPH Centre for Environmental Studies, Anna University, Chennai, India Phone: 91-44-22301283; Fax: 91-44-22354717 SUMMARY: The current practices of e-waste management in India suffer from a number of drawbacks like the difficulty in inventorisation, unhealthy conditions of informal recycling, inadequate legislation, poor awareness and reluctance on part of the corporate to address the critical issues. The consequences are that (i) toxic materials enter the waste stream with no special precautions to avoid the known adverse effects on the environment and human health and (ii) resources are wasted when economically valuable materials are dumped or unhealthy conditions are developed during the informal recycling. The paper highlights the associated issues and strategies to address this emerging problem, in the light of initiatives in India. The paper presents a waste management system with shared responsibility for the collection and recycling of electronic wastes amongst the manufacturers / assemblers, importers, recyclers, regulatory bodies and the consumers. 1.INTRODUCTION The electronic industry is the world’s largest and fastest growing manufacturing industry (Radha, 2002; DIT, 2003). During the last decade, it has assumed the role of providing a forceful leverage to the socio - economic and technological growth of a developing society. The consequence of its consumer oriented growth combined with rapid...

The report still provides an overview of the size and reach of the carbon markets, as well as the evolution of the Kyoto flexibility mechanisms, and offers potential supply/demand scenarios for coming years. However, it no longer includes a detailed breakdown of carbon transactions, as in previous years. Instead, the report provides a more in-depth analytical discussion of the regulation and policy issues that will guide future carbon market development. The findings and opinions expressed in this report are the sole responsibility of the authors and should not be cited without permission.

...185 EQUILIBRIUM 185 UNIT 7 EQUILIBRIUM After studying this unit you will be able to • identify dynamic nature of equilibrium involved in physical and chemical processes; • state the law of equilibrium; • explain characteristics of equilibria involved in physical and chemical processes; • write expressions for equilibrium constants; • establish a relationship between Kp and K c ; • explain various factors that affect the equilibrium state of a reaction; • classify substances as acids or bases according to Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry and Lewis concepts; • classify acids and bases as weak or strong in terms of their ionization constants; • explain the dependence of degree of ionization on concentration of the electrolyte and that of the common ion; • describe pH scale for representing hydrogen ion concentration; • explain ionisation of water and its duel role as acid and base; • describe ionic product (Kw ) and pKw for water; • appreciate use of buffer solutions; • calculate solubility product constant. Chemical equilibria are important in numerous biological and environmental processes. For example, equilibria involving O2 molecules and the protein hemoglobin play a crucial role in the transport and delivery of O2 from our lungs to our muscles. Similar equilibria involving CO molecules and hemoglobin account for the toxicity of CO. When a liquid evaporates in a closed container, molecules with relatively higher kinetic energy escape the liquid surface into the vapour...

...v _ __________________________________________________________________________ Preface No programming technique solves all problems. No programming language produces only correct results. No programmer should start each project from scratch. Object-oriented programming is the current cure-all — although it has been around for much more then ten years. At the core, there is little more to it then finally applying the good programming principles which we have been taught for more then twenty years. C++ (Eiffel, Oberon-2, Smalltalk ... take your pick) is the New Language because it is object-oriented — although you need not use it that way if you do not want to (or know how to), and it turns out that you can do just as well with plain ANSI-C. Only object-orientation permits code reuse between projects — although the idea of subroutines is as old as computers and good programmers always carried their toolkits and libraries with them. This book is not going to praise object-oriented programming or condemn the Old Way. We are simply going to use ANSI-C to discover how object-oriented programming is done, what its techniques are, why they help us solve bigger problems, and how we harness generality and program to catch mistakes earlier. Along the way we encounter all the jargon — classes, inheritance, instances, linkage, methods, objects, polymorphisms, and more — but we take it out of the realm of magic and see how it translates into the things we have known and...
