A: 1: Text one presents the British Monarchy as outdated. It states that those who are against it, is “fighting a losing battle.” (Text 1 line 9.). The people who wants the Monarchy to disapear is not only fighting against the media obsession but also the wishes of the British people. Some British people are against the Royal Monarchy and some are not. Walter Bagehot (a journalist in 1826-1877) he said “The mystery of the Monarchy was its life, and the daylight must not be let in on the magic.”…

confounding, this particular experiment –as is promised by observations of all types- certainly provided some interesting results when employing the five senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell, taste, and even when noting emotional states of the observer. Initially,…

Right and wrong is a human idea that has been used to justify every single action we take. The idea of being correct or right is completely in the eye of the beholder. If you sincerely believe something is right or wrong in your heart, then it is undoubtedly the only “right” action for you. To elaborate, this does not apply to factually correct ideas such as two plus two, but more moral symbols of good and bad, light and dark. There is no universal law in our world that defines what is right or…

After completing the assessment and despite the outcome, I would report the threat to supervisors and/or the child’s parent. If the assessment outcome suggested the child was at risk to follow through with the…

knowledge is lost. Adapting Hoffman and Rehder’s example, an observer tasked with distinguishing rose bushes from raspberry bushes who considers the presence of berries as the most diagnostic feature may ignore any other feature of both plants (e.g. thorns and leaves). However, if the observer must later distinguish raspberry from cranberry bushes, thorns are suddenly diagnostic as both have red berries and only the raspberry has thorns. The observer may therefore have difficulty distinguishing…
