Logos, or logic, involves looking for arguments that make sense in a piece. Amy Tan’s essay is very logical. It makes complete sense, and is simple to understand. Being that it is a narrative, she uses examples to back up her statements about English. She tells the stories of her mother dealing with the stockbroker and the hospital as means to make her point clearer. Ethos looks at the author’s credibility. Tan is a well-known writer, and does a lot of public speaking. We can trust her…

the world. To keep the momentum going, the US President has taken additional series of ambitious steps to combat climate change. In June 2014, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed theClean Power Plan- the first-ever carbon pollution standards to put the US on the path toward a 30 percent reduction in carbon pollution from the emissions by…

Population 3: Losers with high interest neighborhoods. Population 4: Losers with low interest neighborhoods. All of the calculations for this test were done by hand. I started by identify the populations that would be compared. I calculated the mean and standard deviation of each population and then calculated the degree of freedom between groups and within groups, and the total. Next, I determined the critical value according to the F Distribution chart, then calculated the grand mean, total…

1. QUESTION: Class, what does the correlation coefficients of -1, +1, and 0 tells you about the relationship between the two variables? It depends on the method one uses, but the Pearson correlation coefficient is the most widely used. Values in the form of numbers show the direction and how strong the relationship is between two different variables. These can range from -1.00 up to +1.00. If it is positive it is a direct relationship. For example, if one increases the other will also increase…

A Historical Look on Globalization’s Impact on the Environment and Ecosystem Services Humans have only been on this earth a fraction of its life but in those years, we have drastically altered it in ways that can never be reversed. Globalization, the process of integrating and interacting among ourselves and people of different nations, could never have occurred without these changes. However, they have come at the ultimate cost, the health and wellbeing of our planet. Environmental damages…

principle and the History-Sensitive Ability to pay principle, respectively. As far as the Poverty-Sensitive PPP is concerned, persons should bear the burden of climate change that they have caused, however, this burden cannot be a detriment to a decent standard of living. On the other hand, regarding the History-Sensitive APP, the Remainder should be addressed by the wealthy; nevertheless, those whose wealth came about in unjust ways should contribute more than those whose wealth did not come…

or how difficult it is to obtain this resource we will eventually find a way to get it. Meaning that gas and oil are an inelastic good for the fact that the world simply would not run without its existence. Based on this gas prices don’t just rise and fall for no reason they simple are based on different variables, how much a company donates, the amount of the resource that are available, and what type of profit a firm can achieve, so next time you’re at the pump just remember there are a ton of…

What a coincidence that after the American Industrial Revolution in the 1760 's-1840 's, 40 years later the Earth began to warm up. The Earth begins to warm up due to the amount of carbon dioxide that is released to the atmosphere. During this time period to this day, humans have destroyed the environment and have replaced them with industries, houses , and etc increasing the amount of carbon dioxide rapidly. This new change has erupted various catastrophic consequences such as climate change,…

11 metric tons of CO2 a year; there is a drastic difference in the numbers given I suspect it has something to do with how many activities were measured and accounted for while nature.org asked about household expenses and attributed to the total based on other purchases of goods terrapass.com only asked about my travel specifically about my car I used some of my basic math skills and calculated the average at 16.66 but 17 is a whole number so let’s run with it. My Carbon footprint is very high…

This is based on Weber’s Law, which is concerned with the amount that a physical stimulus would need to change before there is an awareness of a difference, or in distinguishing a change (Hergenhahn & Henley, 2014). Basically, there should be a noticeable and systematic increase in the standard deviation based on an increase in size of the target circle, while the matching circle mean should stay close to the…
