Minor term

All seas are saline Some seas are landlocked Therefore: Some saline things are landlocked Major Term: Landlocked (D=0) Minor Term: Saline (D=0) Middle Term: Seas (D=1) Premise 1: All seas are saline is an A statement because it is a universal affirmative.

If it were to say, “Some seas are not landlocked,” it would be an example of an O statement since it would be talking about some seas in a negative way. Conclusion: Some saline things are landlocked is also an I statement which is a particular affirmative. This is because it talks about particular seas in a positive way. If the sentence were to say some saline things are not landlocked, then it would be an O statement since it is talking about some saline things in a negative way. This is a true statement.

"As long as you don’t choose, everything remains possible.” 118 year old Nemo Nobody is the last living mortal in a world where something called telemerization has created a population of semi-immortals . He tells of his life at three critical points: at age nine, age sixteen, and age thirty-four. This is no ordinary story however, as he tells of alternate life paths, often changing course with the flick of a decision or by some seemingly insignificant event. One path leaves Nemo married to…

listened the RadioLab episode on music language. I chose this one because, being a musician myself, I’ve always been interested in the psychology behind music, specifically why certain sounds can so drastically alter our emotion. After all, they’re all just vibrations. So what is it about some vibrations that make them so much more significant to us than others? This is one of the primary questions addressed in this podcast. In discussing how music affects us emotionally, the hosts referred to…

Composers and scholars have not agreed on what each term exactly means, and its scope. Perhaps as a result of its wide acceptance, the term polytonality lacks accuracy as a descriptive category. Béla Bartók’s explanation of both this terms, is one of the most radically different to the rest of composers and scholars. For him, the difference relies in the amount of tonal centers. While polytonality must have two or more tonal centers with identical or different scales, polymodality needs only…

17-year-olds, by 19.9 percent for 16-year-olds, and by 16.6 percent for 15-year-olds” (Saunders). The law would have to be centered around consent and not just notification if the United States wanted to decrease as many abortions as possible, due to the study that yielded that “parental consent laws reduce the minor abortion rate by 18.7 percent, while parental notification laws reduce the abortion rate by about 5 percent,” which shows how parental consent laws are superior at decreasing the…

In 1907 the Italian composer Ferruccio Busoni (1866–1924) as part of an examination of the tonal system based on what he called “the two Series of Seven,” meaning the major and minor keys in relation to the chromatic scale, attempted to write all the possible heptatonic (seven-tone) scales in his book Sketch of a New Esthetic of Music. Busoni…

specifically sad ones. Sad music helps put anthesis on sad movie scenes (“Sad Music”) Composing sad sounding music is a good way to portray sadness. “A key is a pattern of notes that make up a scale.” (“Sad Music”) Choosing a scale is an important part of composing music, because the pattern dictates how the song will sound. Minor keys help make music more sad (“Sad Music”) Minor keys are key signatures with odd patterns that naturally sound sad. Using these keys make it much easier to make…

because we see the constellations at different times of the year for the different seasons- spring, summer, fall, and winter. Since the Earth orbits the Sun we do not get one constant area of constellations. The constellations we see in the summer are not the same ones we see in the winter. We never see the same constellation all year long. Unless the constellation is circumpolar. There are only five circumpolar constellations: Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Draco, Cepheus, and Cassiopeia. These are…
