...Discussion Week 11 #1 I found the Nature vs. Nurture topic interesting because I don’t believe the environment makes the person. We are all responsible for the choices we make. We can rise above our environment. In the case of the pedophile it can be nature or nurture. Some people are either not strong enough to rise above their environment or do not wish. There are people who can’t do any better because they don’t know how and people who can’t do any better because they just don’t want to. I feel nurturing is apparent in the way people treat others, their mannerism and their decisions in life. I also enjoyed the topic of language less thinking. I do think it is possible to communicate without language. Consider facial expressions: •Happiness (sincere broad smile, raised cheeks, round eyes) •Anger (lowered eyebrow, tightly pursed lips, and intensive stare) •Surprise (wide open eyes, open mouth, raised eyebrows) •Fear (open mouth, round eyes, pale face) •Disgust (wrinkled nose, raised upper lip, lowered eyelids) •Sadness (lowered corners of mouth, sad eyes) Touch and Eye Contact are also non-verbal means of communication. We also have to consider cave drawings or hydroliphic's. I feel sign language is also nonverbal even though it is based on verbal language. Thru this course I have learned to be more aware of my thinking and feelings as well as their connection to each other. Emotions can make our thinking irrational: Anger – Where anger appears, reason...

...For better comprehension of the topic under discussion, there is a great need to explain what sensory means and what perceptions it has over human life. Sensory comes from a Latin word ‘sentire’ meaning ‘to perceive, feeling.’ This also describes something related to sensation – something that you feel with your physical senses. The physical senses that enable man to perceive things, feel things etc. These sense that enable human being to perceive and feel thing include the eyes, the nose, the tongue, the ears and the body sensation. For example the eyes is used for sight, the nose for smelling things and the ears for sounds. All these sense enriched the brain and link the brain as we think. The three factors that may ensure the accuracy or inaccuracy of sensory information would be limited biologically, we see the superficial; (using the sight for example) can deceive our brain as have been mentioned above limited biologically. Same o the sight example, it would be stated that our sensory of information would be accurate or inaccurate due to corralled by custom, we see the habitual; and lastly blinded by language, we see the general. In further explanation to the mentioned factors, it happens that our sight can deceive us by mere recognition of the appearance of a substance which in reality does not have the real qualities seen in our sight. For instance, the sight used in seeing objects and telling of the nature can observe a nice or decorated cake to be delicious but the taste...

...Sensory Perceptions Carmenchita McCoy Johnson Strayer University Critical Thinking PHI210 Kerri Flanagan January 22, 2014 Sensory Perceptions Provide at least three (3) reasons for believing in the accuracy or inaccuracy of sensory information. I believe in the accuracy of some sensory information such as the sensory of touch, which helps me decipher the difference between something that is either too hot or too cold. My sensory of touch signals to me that “fire” is hot. My sensory of sight indicates to me when I visually see “fire” that it is hot. When I see smoke, my thinking pattern indicates to me that something is either on fire or burning which probably could indicate a fire. My sense of smell considering what is burning could alert me that there was a fire in progress. As far as inaccuracy of sensory information that would be my assuming that if I was walking down a street that appeared to be safe because I do not see the threat of a mob gathering or a person standing in the street which I would think cause me harm. However, I could be walking down the same street that appeared to be safe from my visualization not knowing that right around one of the corners there is a person lurking waiting for me to walk by. As I further think in regards to other articles that I have read what I may perceive as explainable to me on certain subjects it does not mean that the next person that is presented with the same thoughts would come to the same conclusion (Gauker, C. (2012)...

...Telecommuting: The New Way of Jobs in the Next Ten Years PHI210 – Critical Thinking March 11, 2012 Telecommuting will be the new way that jobs are performed in the next ten years. Telecommuting can be defined as working from a remote location, usually a home office, by electronically linking to a company. Allowing employees the option of telecommuting whether one or more days is an opportunity that most employees would take advantage. The origins of people telecommuting date as far back as the 19th century. The first person known to work from home or at a remote work site was a Boston Bank President. This Bank President was able to work from home by having a phone line strung from his office to his home, three blocks away. Later, in the year 1963, a computer programmer working on the Arpanet Project (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) withdrew from the project to stay at home with his wife who was experiencing a difficult pregnancy. It was another programmer who suggested an additional phone line be installed in the home of the programmer attending to his ill wife so that he could complete his program from there. The practice of working from home was finally given the term name Telecommuting by Jack Nilles, a scientist working on a NASA satellite communications project in Los Angeles, in 1973. The target audience for this argument would be employees currently working both in the office and telecommuting environments...

...How a Bachelor Degree has Changed Brandon Schaefer Anthony Biduck PHI210 09/10/2012 I have realized from personal experience how important higher education is when it comes to finding a job that pays a good salary. Although a bachelors degree is important, it seems to be declining in value because it has become a commonality in the face of an increasingly competitive job market and a declining economic environment. For most jobs nowadays, a bachelors degree is a basic requirement. As a result, the earners of college degrees must find alternative ways of distinguishing themselves from others who also hold a bachelors degree. Ten years ago, a person with a bachelors degree stood out over their peers who had only obtained high school diplomas. Through surveys, research, and experience I found that this has changed, and a bachelors degree in today’s society is equal to a high school degree ten years ago. Earnings are an indicator of the demand for college graduates because wages tend to increase fastest for workers in greatest demand. It has always been known, that the more credentials that you have, the more likely you are to get hired and paid a higher wage. If this is true, then it is only natural that more people are obtaining their Bachelors degrees each year in order to obtain a better career. If this is the case, the jobs that pay good are increasingly getting...

...Figurative Language versus Literal Language By: Angelle Dent PHI210 Professor Carrie Prettiman January 20, 2012 The purpose of this paper is to explore the meaning and functionalities associated with figurative language versus literal language. Traditionally, figurative language, such as metaphors and idioms, have been considered derivatives from and more complex than ostensibly straightforward language. “A contemporary view is that figurative language involves the same kinds of linguistic and pragmatic operations that are used for ordinary, literal language” (Glucksberg, 1975). Figurative language is language that uses words and or expressions with a meaning that is different or a variation from the literal interpretation. Literal language, in comparison, is very direct and straightforward in approach by simply conveying facts. When a writer or author uses literal language, he or she is stating the facts as they are. Figurative language, on the other hand, is very common in poetry and verses and is used in prose and nonfiction writing using creativity and imaginative expression conveyed through personal ideas or opinions. Figurative language is often used as a literary device that many authors use to bring the reader into the actual writing. The language is written in such a way that what is being said or stated is different from the actual literal meaning of the words. Some common types of figurative languages are defined and explained below. Idiom:...

...Divorce Affect the Lives of Children Critical Thinking – PHI210 Dr. ED Yancey Daphney Pratcher Abstract Divorce is a very common word in today's society. According to the American Heritage Dictionary, divorce is the legal dissolution of a marriage or a complete or radical severance of closely connected things (Gottman, J. 1994).). This dissolution of marriage has increased very rapidly in the past fifty years. Throughout this paper I will discuss divorces effects on children. The dissolution of a marriage is a legal act that may not coincide with the emotional tearing asunder. Divorce is typically a painful process for all concerned. While it can take adults time to regain psychological equilibrium, there is debate whether children ever recover a stable perspective. Post-divorce hostility between adults, in addition to directly harming kids, is a sure indicator that the emotional split is incomplete. In the U.S., divorce rates have been rising since the beginning of the 20th century, and especially since the 1970s, when no-fault divorce was instituted. Some experts contend that the easing of divorce laws has helped make marriage stronger by rooting it more deeply in personal choice, although it does little to give people the skills needed to work out the inevitable difficulties that arise in marriage. Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually...
