Although Fitbit devices are have been shown to have issues of validity, making them unsuitable for situations requiring a gold standard of measurement, they remain a fairly accurate means of measuring physical activity and sedentary behaviour in the majority of the population (Sasaki 2015; Diaz et al.…

I remember because this was the first time our class made an initial hypothesis to prove or disprove whether the author was a reliable person to tell the story.

and Robert Sampson were discussing their reasons why there is a high violent crime rate in Chicago. Since I could overhear the conversation, I can lay out the dialogue exchange among these men.
