...Behind All The Positivity What do people do to help a local charity? Charities are usually to support certain causes. Giving to charities shows someone being a good and giving person, how one is not selfish, and develops some type of connection and love between people. Giving to charities shows how one is a good and giving person. A good person helps the ones around them. Those who actually give to charities are usually living a better life. They take and dedicate from their own time just to see others live a great life also. Just because some people have their downfalls and troubles in life, does not mean they deserve a different approach to life. Those who help have nothing to worry about since they are doing their part in helping. When people are hungry of suffering from a certain disease and others do their part in helping they emotionally feel somewhat better. It may still be on their mind, but at least the cause is a step closer to being helped. Using their persuasion they make others get involved in making a change also. Usually making a charity known worldwide helps even more. When somebody hears about it, they not only want to take part in helping but they also have an emotional connection to those people and what they are going through. Nobody should feel any pressure that they have to give to a charity, it all comes from how thoughtful and giving somebody is. When one feels better when they give it means hey did it whole-heartedly not just for the heck of it...

...Appeal to ignorance Fallacy is a mistake with a reasoning argument; it is invalid and appealed to good. No matter how does the fallacy have a strong reason, it is still wrong. Appeal to ignorance argument is a kind of fallacy, which means a proposition is true because nothing can prove it is wrong or you can’t provide evidence to prove it is false. In logic, if a proposition is true, it must have enough evidence to be proved that it’s true, and then people should believe that it is true. On the other hand, if people have enough evidences to prove that this proposition is false, this proposition is false. Here is the third: appeal to ignorance-no evidence can be proved that it’s true or false. Then it must be true or false. First, “I don't know of anyone who's ever had a problem hiking during a storm. Nobody has ever convinced me it's threatening, so I feel like we're really safe”(study.com P1) In this video, Carina told her friends that hiking near the thunderstorm is safe due to no one tells her that it is unsafe. “She's never had experiences that tell her it's unsafe. She's concluded that this means that they are safe” (study.com P1). This is a classic example of appeal to ignorance that shows people follow the disprove argument. Carina walks into misdirection. Although Carina proves that it’s safe to hike near the thunderstorm according to her no unsafe experience, it’s still unsafe because there is not enough evidence proved that it is safe. People always are obedient to...

...1.12 What is the difference between a sample and a population? In most studies, it is difficult to obtain information from the entire population. We rely on samples to make estimates or inferences related to the population. Population means the population of the whole area. Sample means a sample of people taken out of the population to be tested or studied. 1.13 What is the difference between a statistic and parameter? The difference between parameter and a statistic is that a parameter is a number obtained by calculation from a population while statistic is a number calculated from a sample. A statistic is usually used to estimate a parameter. 1.22 A Gallup poll indicated that 74% of Americans who had yet to retire look to retirement accounts as major funding sources when they retire. Interestingly, 40% also said that they looked to stocks or stock market mutual fund investments as major funding sources when they retire. (data extracted from D.Jacobs, “Investors Look Beyond Social Security to Fund Retirement,” www.gallup.com, March 28, 2011).

...Tre Bannink September 2010 BLACK BROOK RABBITRY PRESENTS 8 grade HOW TO START A RABBITRY Why start. Take one look at the domestic rabbit, and you will understand its appeal. Recognize it as an animal that thrives almost anywhere and is inexpensive to obtain and easy to maintain. Add its legend any prolificacy, its unmatched cleanliness, and a steadfast refusal to bark at the moon at midnight or crow at the neighbor at 6 A.M. Consider, above all, its versatility, and you will readily comprehend it’s steadily, zooming popularity. If you going to start a rabbitry you will first need to be able to find out if u have the space for a 35 by 24 rabbit hutch for indoors or outdoors. Once u get all that figured out, u need to find out what kind of bedding u will be getting. The three best bedding u can get is straw, hay, and wood shavings. In the summer u would probably want to mix wood shavings and hay. You could also put a frozen water bottle in there so they can lie on it to cool down. It’s a good idea to have the bedding about 3 inches thick through out the hole box of the hutch. In winter line the whole cage with stray or hay. If it is possible get the straw or hay stacte on the sides of the walls. The next step of building a rabbitry is to build your herd...
