...Md. Aeyenun Nishat ID # 1010295030 ENG 103 Sec # 7 Memories of Life Human life is full of memories. Some of them are happy memories and some of them are sad memories. My happiest day was the last year’s Valentine’s Day because I got two girlfriends at the same day. I decided to continue relationship with both of the girls at the same time without letting them know anything. After few months of that my saddest day came. Both the girls came to know about other and dumped me at the same day. One might think those two days are totally different to me but those days were quite same to me because of memory, significance and money Firstly both the days will be memorable for me till my death. I will remember the happy memory of getting approval from two girls in one day. It was really a great memory. On the other hand being dumped by two girls at the same day might be a very sad memory but a memory to remember. Very few people in this world can have such experience. Secondly both the days were significant in my life because I learnt many important lessons from those days. From the happiest day I learnt that it is very easy to convince a girl. It is a different fact that after few days I also learnt that it is very pathetic to have two girlfriends at a time. On the other hand from the saddest day I learnt that it is very hard to cheat the girls. They are actually very suspicious and very good at proving that suspicion. Finally I had to spend...

...1 Facts and Inferences of Interpersonal Communication Kimberly Thompson Fundamentals of Interpersonal Communications-153 Professor: Tony Arguells Week 3-Individual Assignment 11/01/2013 2 Facts and Inferences of Interpersonal Communication There are many aspects of perception. Things that can be seen and things that can’t you can perceive a person on how they look or how they act. But these can be really deceiving. . “Distinguish between facts and inferences.” Of interpersonal communication . Pay attention to the way you and others speak about people and situations . Determine whether inferences/assumptions were stated as if they were facts . Describe your observations and conclusions . Use specific examples . Suggest alternative tentative statements that would be more accurate than the inferences that were used I learned that competent interpersonal communication depends on the distinguishing facts that comes from inferences the fact is an objective statement that’s based on the observations and the inference involved the interpretation which are beyond the facts (WOOD) It’s very easy to get the facts and inferences confused because sometimes we treat inferences like they are the facts. If I was to see someone constantly setting around and not wanting to do anything, I would say that they are lazy and unmotivated. 3 Facts and Inferences of Interpersonal Communication My statement sounds like it’s factual, Therefore I’m going to perceive that it’s...

...The Weaknesses and Strengths of Common Sense and Science as Sources of Knowledge There are many sources of knowledge as the society progresses. In this case, the most controversial question would be whether or not common sense can be accounted as a reliable source of knowledge? Although both common sense and science can be taken into account as sources of knowledge, I will argue that to some extent common sense and scientific knowledge are still very different from one another. That is, scientific knowledge is much more highly valued and reliable than common sense. By definition, common sense is a knowledge that is developed from daily basis, and is primarily based on the viewer’s observation, while scientific knowledge is generated from a constant formal of testing in the real world. In this essay, I will discuss the weaknesses and strengths of common sense and scientific knowledge and defend my position for why scientific knowledge is generally regarded as more reliable and authoritative than common sense. In this section, I will discuss the main strengths of common sense and science. Arthur E. Murphy, an American philosopher, believed that the ability to learn by experience is the most fundamental factor in our intellectual progress. On one hand, namely, common sense is both common and sensible. That is, common sense beliefs can be easily observed by individuals and it is rather comprehensible. Science, on the other hand, uses a rational methodology. Also, along with...

...List and explain the three Knowledge Sources of the Unified Medical Language System. There are three UMLS Knowledge Sources: the Metathesaurus®, the Semantic Network, and the SPECIALIST Lexicon. The National Library of Medicine (NLM) creates the Unified Medical Language System® (UMLS®) to facilitate the development of computer systems that act as if they "understand" the meaning of the language of biomedicine and health. This system is modernized twice a year in May and November. The Metathesaurus®, is a customizable, multi-purpose, and multi-lingual vocabulary database that is organized by concept, or meaning. It connects alternative names and views of the same concepts from different source vocabularies and identifies useful relationships between different concepts The Semantic Network consists of a set of broad subject categories, or semantic types, that provide a consistent categorization of all concepts represented in the UMLS. Also incorporated in this network is a set of practical and significant relationships, or semantic relations, that exist between semantic types, e.g., treats, diagnoses, and contains. The scope of the Semantic Network is broad, allowing for the semantic categorization of a wide range of expressions in multiple domains. The SPECIALIST Lexicon supplies the word usage information needed for the SPECIALIST Natural Language Processing (NLP) System. The Lexicon is a general English language dictionary that includes many biomedical terms...

...Are the natural sciences more reliable sources of knowledge than social sciences? To be able to determine the reliability of knowledge within the sciences, an understanding of what is meant when referring to knowledge is required as well as an understanding of how this knowledge is created. Knowledge has been defined in various ways, depending upon the context is to be used in. As Çakir (2012, p.665) defines it: “Knowledge is the communication between individuals who share decisions and actions”. When relating to the creation of “knowledge” within the sciences, this is the most fitting definition due to the method of study and peer review that allows information to be taken as truthful. This essay will look at some of the differences between the two branches of science, the different ways in which natural and social science discover new information through experimentation, the natural evolution of the sciences, and how dissension among members of the social sciences holds them back from creating reliable knowledge. The natural sciences have been the subject of study for over six hundred years, starting in the fourteenth century and progressing steadily throughout the years. The natural sciences set the foundations for inquiry and have previously gone through the trials and errors that the social sciences, having only been the subject of study for around two hundred and forty years, are currently going through. While the history of the of social sciences has been noted to have...

...Use sources T, U and V and your own knowledge. Do you accept the view in Source V that Wolsey’s domestic policies were disappointing? Thomas Wolsey was Henry VIII’s chief minister from 1514 when Henry VIII was making his rise into power up until 1529 when Wolsey had his fall from grace. Many people have argued that Wolsey made many radical changes to the country and how it was run. This essay will argue whether Wolsey’s domestic policies were disappointing or not. One of the main categorical policies that brought up a lot of criticism for Wolsey was the way that he dealt with finances, which ultimately brought a huge amount of disappointment to Wolsey’s reign. During his reign as Chancellor Wolsey failed to ensure that the revenue that was brought in was the same as what the King was spending which did damage the country’s finances. Wolsey also brought in many different taxation policies (which included the Amicable Grant) this sparked outrage within both the laity and the clergy, it also caused many riots in Suffolk. In Source T it says that he ‘aroused against himself the hatred of the whole country’ and this was being spoken about when it came to his arrogance. In contrary to this, it can be argued that Wolsey’s financial policies were not all a disappointment as it says in source U ‘He favours the people exceedingly, and especially the poor’ Wolsey started to levy taxes so people paid taxes in accordance to what they earned. This helped Wolsey financially with the people as...

...Use source T, U and V and your own knowledge. Do you accept the view in source V that Wolsey’s domestic policies were disappointing? Thomas Wolsey was Henry VIII chief minister from his rise to power in 1514 after working himself up until his eventual fall from the king’s favour in 1529. During the time period where Wolsey contained his power he made many changes to England’s domestic policies. For this reason I do not accept the view of source V that Wolsey’s domestic policies were completely disappointing, this essay will show my debates as to why I believe that Wolsey’s domestic policies were not so unsatisfactory. Wolsey’s domestic policies were not all so disappointing especially when you associate them with the poor, this being because he created the Star Chamber. The Star Chamber emphasized his success of domestic policies due to the fact it gave him more popularity with the laity, the Star Chamber was a court that anyone could bring their case to, meaning the poor had the opportunity for justice, this is one reason why the policies were not disappointing. Another reason why this was a success was that Wolsey dealt with hundred and twenty cases each year which is ten times as much as Henry VII the year before. This is clearly a great success and definitely not a disappointment with the poor proportion of the county. Source U supports this point due to the fact it states ‘He favours the people exceedingly…. Hearing their cases and seeking to dispatch them instantly...

...Using your own knowledge as well as the extract identify and explain two sources of the British constitution (10) A constitution is a framework of rules that dictate the way a country is run, it defines the relationship between the state and individual and also the way in which power is divided between the various parts of the state, for example between the house of commons, the house of Lords and parliament. There are different types of constitutions, the most basic way of dividing constitutions is placing them into two groups; codified (written in one single document) for example in the USA and uncodified (unwritten, no single, formal document) in the UK. One source of the British constitution is statute law, this is law that is written down and codified into law. Statutes begin as bills: there are public and private bills. Public Acts are those that affect either the whole of the UK or some of its constituent countries; England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, whereas private Acts may grant limited powers to public bodies such as local authorities (councils), or apply only to specific locations within the UK. To begin with, a bill is scrutinised and then refined if needed before the final draft is created. Then it is given its first reading, and after its second reading there is a general debate as to its contents. Once at the ‘Committee stage’ both the House of Commons and the House of Lords may make amendments to it. Then further amendments may be made when it...

...Using Sources K to N, and your own knowledge, how far do you accept the view of Source K that it was American foreign policy that ‘crystallized the Cold War’? The emergence of the Cold War can, to some extent be seen as a result of American Foreign policy – as it merely intensified previous tensions and distrust within the two superpowers. However, the ‘crystallization’ of the Cold War can also be seen as being due to several other factors such as the individuals’ personalities, the power vacuum that emerged at the end of WWII and the fundamental clash of ideologies all, to a certain degree, combined to cause the emergence of the Cold War, (the factors are all interlinked with one another). Firstly, it can be considered (at least to some degree) that the emergence and ‘crystallization’ of the Cold War was due to American foreign policy, as source K stresses the importance of US foreign policy as a contributory factor as America were keen to preserve their economic interests and to maintain political control – it says that ‘the US [employed] its new and awesome power’, meaning that tension would be caused inevitably, as the Soviets did not want to see the Americans gaining too much influence. An examples of foreign policies launched by the US that were designed to help the European markets (to retain the Open-door policy) is the Marshall Plan, introduced in 1947, it was a programme designed to offer financial aid to countries that were economically damaged in the second world...

...There is a Select Committee for each government department; for example the Department of Education. From my own knowledge, these departmental committees have a minimum of 11 members, who decide upon the line of inquiry and then get evidence. The government then usually has 60 days to reply to the committee's recommendations. Committees also have power to appoint specialists. These are not permanent committee members, but specialists from businesses paid by the day. They aim to scrutinise the executive and hold them to account, scrutiny includes policy, administration, and expenditure of government departments. Source C suggests that Select Committees often have their recommendations ignored, and therefore the effectiveness of the committees is decreased. Due to the reports produced by Select Committees not being binding governments can disregard the advice from specialists, and reports that are produced tend not to be unanimous - especially when a general election is near. Not only that, but governments can refuse to provide certain information which could be important evidence, and often select committees are under-resourced meaning they cannot provide fully effective scrutiny to the actions of the executive. Public Bill (Standing) Committees are - unlike Select Committees - able to amend and improve legislative bills. They scrutinise each clause of a bill clause by clause and amendments can be made. These committees are formed from between 16-50 members in reflection...

...possibly hinting at a sense of ineffectiveness within the period given. On one side of the argument, it was clear that Henry and Wolsey did carry out an effective foreign policy in the years 1513-1529. A clear display of this effectiveness is presented in source one, featuring the ‘Field of the cloth of gold’ painting. From this painting we can clearly infer that it was an effective display of Henry’s wealth and power, which was a fundamental aspect of English foreign policy, specifically to the king. We can tell that it was an effective display of wealth and power due to the fact that Henry was meeting with the French at the time of the Hasburg wars between Charles and Francis (1520), crucially putting Henry as a key figure within the table of European politics, being between the two largest powers at the time. Also considering the fact that in the Painting from source 1 Henry is depicted as the largest, most dominant figure at the meeting, sitting atop a noble white horse, presenting the idea that Henry is the wealthier of the two powers. Fundamentally, this position of ‘balancing the power’ gave essential credibility and honour to the foreign policy of Wolsey and Henry. This idea of wealth and power is reinforced within source 3, stating that ‘it thrust the country into a...

...present a serious threat to the government? Use the sources and your own knowledge to explain your answer. The Kett's Rebellion and the Western Rebellion, both of which occurred in 1549 with a variety of other rebellions occurring across the country, both had posed a fairly significant role in threatening on the government. Both of the rebellions however, were located far away from London. The proximity of the rebellion from London I believe by far was the most influencing factor in the threat level from the government in both rebellions. However, we must take into account other factors that contributed to the level of threat from the 1549 rebellions such as the size and popularity of the rebellions, the support from the different classes and the objectives and the strategy of the two rebellions to determine which one had the highest level of threat against the government. Firstly, I believe the most threatening aspect to the government from the 2 rebellions is the proximity of the rebellions to London. Both the Kett's and Western Rebellion were at a significant distance from London, with the Kett's Rebellion being based in and around Norwich and the Western Rebellion being located in Devon. But this also hindered the effectiveness of the government response to the rebellions due to the substantial distance from London. In Source Z, it highlights “that at no point did the government fight for its life”. However, Source AA says that, “It looked as if the whole of Southern...

...In my opinion, the 1950s cannot be seen as a period of prosperity for the people of Britain for a number of reasons which I will explain further on. I believe that source 1 mainly agrees with the above statement, however, there are some areas in the source which can display ways in which the source doesn’t fully agree with the above statements. Source 2 also, somewhat agrees with the above question, however, there are a greater number of aspects of the question which can imply that the statement is not 100% true. Source 3 is the source which mostly disagrees with the above question for a number of reasons. I believe that the 1950s were not years of great prosperity for the people in Britain for a number of reasons. Firstly, although source 1 states that the British people ‘have never had it so good’ it can be interpreted that this account could be considered as being somewhat biased as it is a speech made by Prime Minister Harold Macmillan in July 1957 during a Conservative Party rally in Bedford which means that all that is said in the rally is to ensure that all the supporters of the party are pleased with the progress that is being made. As it is a speech made at the rally of the party that implemented policies in order for this situation to happen they would only discuss the positives of their policies and only talk about the benefits it has for people, it would not discuss the limitations or the negative impact it may have had on the lives of some. The use of the word...

...Use the historical interpretation (sources written in hindsight) and your own knowledge. How stable and how strong was the Russian regime on the eve of world war? The stability and strength of the Russian regime (autocratic rule of Tsar Nicholas II ) had remained untouched for several centuries, in a sense that it did not alter or fault through the hardships amongst the peoples of Russia/Empire as a whole as a means of the 'sole,righteous' system of autocracy. It was successful in terms of maintaining Tsardom/Romanov dynasty since the early 17th century; surely a revolution would have occurred before the 20th century as most of Europe and America had experienced a mass cultural movement of emerging liberal ideas and reasoning, known as the 'Age of Reason' or 'The Enlightenment'. However this was not the case as the Russian regime under the Tsar had collapsed towards the end of the first World War when he was forced to abdicate from the throne; some would argue that it was inevitable due to the unpopular attitudes towards the social and economic conditions which left the majority of the population in severe poverty. Others may disagree with this inevitability due to such events that could not directly blame the Tsar such as 'Bloody Sunday' in 1905, the state that Russia had been left in by, Alexander III and most notably the role of Prime Minister, Pyotr Stolypin. The focus of analysis will be to explore key leaders/figures and events, and to create a judgement to which degree...
