Generalization

. Our predictions were not supported by our data. We predicted Hexane to not mix well with the other liquids, due to the fact that is a nonpolar substance. When in fact it mixed with all but two substances , Methanol and Water. I believe this to be for the fact that both Methanol and water have strong properties of hydrogen bonding. While we thought water wouldn't mix , we predicted Dichloromethane , n-Pentanol,Methanol,Toulene and Water to mix. Again our predictions were not exact in that…

inside a metaphorical cave and are blinded to the truth of the world. By writing this, Plato hoped that people would realize how they are blinded and will transition to the open world. The author’s use of scare tactics, stacking the deck, and hasty generalization are effective and ineffective because they set the reader towards a certain way of thinking that both achieved and prevented people from seeing his point. This article is about how people are hidden from the truth of the world. The…

What is a stereotype? A stereotype can be defined as a generalization from a specific trait or behavior that is common by members of a group (Dictionary). Latino stereotypes are no different. Charles Ramírez-Berg lists six basic Latino stereotypes that were prevalent then and are still used today. They were first popularized in the 1900s; they twisted the public’s view on Latinos and gave Latinos a negative reputation. One movie in particular that depicts Latinos as the “bad guy” in an unfair…

relationships with others, both with humans and animals, are bound to end. There is many different ways the authors showed these themes in their story, but the ways I will be focusing on is through foreshadowing in the storyline, stereotyping and generalization from both the authors and characters, and the conflict that the characters in the story face throughout their lives. The first of the three different ways that the authors used to show this theme is foreshadowing. Primarily I will be…

United States has the most gun related crimes in the world. Michael Moore tries to find the root to this problem which is seemingly unknown. Citizens and the media tend to make generalizations that try to single out people or other things as if they are the problem to the gun related crimes, but most of these generalizations are logical fallacies that are irrelevant to the actual problem. Some of the main points that I received from the film Bowling for Columbine are…

sense experience and sensory perception. Empiricism stresses the role of experiences and evidences. Empiricists believe that all knowledge relies on past experiences. Empiricism relies on inductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning is making broad generalizations from specific observations. This is how many theories were and are still created. In order to use the inductive reasoning, the scientific method is used which is observing and drawing conclusions based on the evidence, while rationalism…

The Freshman Fifteen is a generalization which suggests that once high school students go off to college, they gain fifteen pounds by the end of the year due to a variety of factors. And, unfortunately, there is always a grain of truth in generalizations. A few variables that add to this generalization are: “new eating habits, not enough exercise, drinking, and a slowing metabolism” (Health). There is no permanent cure for this dilemma, but there are steps that college administrators can take to…

Learning is a process that we follow life-long, especially in the present times where there is an explosion of information every second and we are expected to be lifelong learners. Unfortunately, learning in the current scenario has become a one-size-fits-all approach in the education process that is not tailored to suit a person’s abilities. This compliance is especially true of our conventional school system. The problem, however, is that not all children can adapt to such stiff style of…

It's a simple observation. As for why I feel it does not reflect us, is that once again despite the various time periods of change and trends, that is merely a mass generalization. Every individual obviously has their own tastes and styles. Just as artists today. The media makes it seem as though pop and rap are the only forms of music that exist in present day, however those of us who have a great feeling of disdain for…

Reid Luque HIST 2112 Niels Eichhorn November 17, 2015 “The Cold War and the Color Line” Race has always been a huge issue for America in the past.
