There are situations where these two reasonings merge, such as criminal investigations. There is also many signs of these two ways of reasoning being complimented infamous mystery novels, such as Sherlock Holmes. One example of this is the Sherlock Holmes tale, “The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier”. This tells a story of a Veteran James M. Dodd, who served in…

The Progressive Era was a period of time to objectively remove problems caused by immigration, industrialization, corruption in the government, and urbanization. Many people had an influential effect during this era, such as Samuel Gompers, Theodore Roosevelt, Jane Addams, Susan B. Anthony, and so much more. But, out of all of these people, Booker T.
