Discussion 5 by ELLEN TURNER - Friday, 08 June 2018, 04:40 PM CDT Discuss the difference between the PNS and CNS? Why does a coder need to know this? The Central Nervous System contains the brain and spinal cord which gathers and organizes information. The Peripheral Nervous System encompasses all other nervous system tissue.

(Lutus2013) The philosopher was stating a significant rule of science; always consider alternative explanations and never accept anything at face value. Defining an area of study as a science requires an unyielding view of the standards defining evidence, jargon and the methodological approach taken in research and experimentation. However certain areas of psychology stray from this fundamental standard when doing research, questioning the fact of whether or not it is science. One of the more…

mention any of his sources or if he did any research. By expecting the audience to trust him, his lack of ethos in his article leaves doubt in the mind of his reader making them ask “okay, why should we trust you?”. The author also does not use any jargon that is in association with making his point he only uses lower level diction with the exception of one or two…

Imagination, 1626-2030” and “The Human Condition Hurts: We’d Be Fools Not to Better It” by James Hughes, the readers are able to gain an educational and factual perspective on a very theoretical topic. The difference in the implementation of the “hook”, the jargon used, and the context in time the supporting research is based on allows for each reader to gain the knowledge required to look at human bio-technology in a more accepting manner. From the stark contrasting methods in which Hughes…

The question I wish to answer is why BBP formulas are so much better at calculating pi than any other method that came before it. I find it interesting that this method only provides the exact digit of pi in question and does not require the calculation of any of the previous digits of pi. For all of the methods that proceeded it like the polygon approximation and infinite series methods, each digit was required to be calculated before the next one could be found. Another compelling fact is that…

listen to different people's perspectives, and create your own opinion of a controversial topic. While listening in, I did well staying unbiased when reading each side of the controversial topic. However I struggled with understanding professional jargon. Furthermore, the next part of the conversational metaphor is becoming an…

He notes that manmade ways that have brought down this problem whenever it emerged in the past was mass warfare, genuine revolution, and state collapse. Based on a dynamic wealth accumulation model, Pikkety and Saez (2014) suggest that wealth inequality starts rising when…

I recently visited the American Indian Student Union as my civic participation group. The aspect of communication that was most relevant in the meeting were intercultural communication. In the first meeting they wanted to explain to the students who are not familiar with the Indian culture. They explained the myths and truths to their culture. For example, they explained that wearing headdresses to a Florida State University football game to imitate the Seminole is a false interpretation of the…

People who in modern society identify as "witches" are people who carry on the tradition of folk magic. It is not a religion or belief system per se; it is a practice and is either highly individualized or built on practices that are handed down in an hereditary lineage. Despite the myth about witches and Halloween, there is not necessarily a de facto connection between the two. However, many but not all, modern witches are also neopagans. Neopagans recognize and celebrate Halloween as…

This week’s reflection paper examines the implementation of structure in a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) therapeutic session. During January 19, 2017’s class, students learned that structuring is orienting clients to their role and responsibility in the relationship and to the role and responsibility of the therapist. From my perspective, therapeutic structuring should be brief and overtly provided when necessary. For example, if the client, from our class video, had no idea about what was…
