Hypothetical Example of Common Sense vs. Skepticism Common sense can be described as trusting our senses and accepting what we know as knowledge. Skepticism is nearly the opposite and can be described as questioning or doubting unempirical knowledge, beliefs, or opinions stated as facts and refrains from claims of truth or knowledge. Skepticism, however, does not state that truth or knowledge is impossible. The difference between these two philosophical ideas can be seen in examples of…

I was in the garden again. The damp soil running through my fingers. The water soaking through the knees of my jeans. I weeded around my beans, feeling the dirt under my fingernails and in the creases of my palms. My first few days here I just watched, unsure of the unspoken rules that hovered over the garden. Then, one day, I walked over to a girl. She was almost my age and tended to 2 rows of lima beans. I don’t know if it was the way not only she but her plants seemed to tremble in the wind…

Callosobruchus maculatus are not considered directly harmful to humans; although, as an insect pest they damage millions of tons of human food crops in the form of legumes every year (Torres et al. 2016). Physically, they are small beetles, approximately 3.5 mm long. Because Callosobruchus maculatus larvae feed and develop exclusively on the seeds of legumes, the beetles are commonly referred to as "bean beetles." Adult Callosobruchus maculatus have a very short lifespan of 6 to 14 days…

In 1929 the Morton Salt Works Company purchased all the surrounding salt mines, and began the excavation of the salt dome underneath the town of Grand Saline. With the newly discovered abundance of salt there were plenty of jobs to go around as The Great Depression began to settle upon the market. By the year 1945 there were 950 people employed by the mine in Grand Saline, and that number doesn’t include the transportation jobs that were created by the mine either. The added income in town…

Purpose Statement: The main ingredient in my favorite seasoning, Adobo, led me to choose salt as my topic. After doing background research, I learned there were three ways of making salt and the one I found most interesting was solar salt. My decision to focus this paper on solar salt was also influenced by the fact that I never bothered to know how salt was created or obtained, and I like learning about environmentally friendly products. My intended audience is the class and the professor. I…

be positively correlated. The greatest salt marsh erosion sites and the threshold for marsh resilience were forecasted to occur at the highest (90-100%) stem oiling level. The results of this study added to the rare amount of empirical data that has been recorded showing a link between geomorphologic thresholds and specific levels of large-scale human disturbances such as oceanic oil spills. Oil was found on…

Violence is a predictable response from a child who has had their toy taken away, or coming from a government who has had their people attacked. Although on different scales, in both situations the response of violence is not surprising but only in the case of children is it universally reprimanded. The universal acceptance of violence is a staggering reality. Many wonder if there is a way to create change that does not solicit killing people on the opposing side. Non-violent protesting is for…

figure Mahatma Gandhi led the Salt March in protest of British rule. This particular march forged a spiral of events across the country that eventually ushered in the era of India’s independence. Gandhi initially led seventy-eight of his nonviolence disciples from Sabarmati Ashram to the seaside village of Dandi, with many more joining the Salt March as the crowd passed through several Indian towns and villages in the twenty-four day trek. As the name suggests, the Salt March was conducted to…
