Construct a Deductively Valid Argument
Write: Identify the components and structure of your argument by presenting your deductively valid argument in standard form, and explain how your conclusion follows from your premises.
Premise one: Because some arts and humanities classes take place after school hours, these studies keep children out of trouble after school.
Premise two: The arts and humanities enhance the learning experience for children.
Premise three: Arts deepens a child’s knowledge and understanding of other cultures and traditions.
Premise four: Participating in the arts and humanities can help children who may not be great at traditional studies but have a creative side.
Conclusion: Therefore, teaching children arts and humanities is necessary for a child’s development.
I feel that all of my premises are true and valid and can be proven to be true. My audience can also deduct that my premises are true and thus valid.
Discuss Icon Guided Response: Read the arguments presented by your classmates, and analyze the reasoning that they have presented. In particular, if you believe that their argument is invalid, explain a way in which it would be possible for the premises to be true and the conclusion false. If you believe that their argument has a false premise, explain why a reasonable person might take it to be false. Finally, see if you can help them to improve their argument. How can they alter their premises so that all of them are true? What might they change in order to make their argument valid?
Deductive Logic
Flipper is a dolphin, so Flipper is a mammal.
Missing premise to make the argument valid: Dolphins are mammals. Dolphins live in the water, but they are not fish. Therefore, not all mammals live on the land.
Premise one: Dolphins are mammals, not fish because they come to the surface to breathe air.
Premise two: Fish do not need to breathe air, however, live in water.
Conclusion: Not all aquatic beings are fish.
Hello Tania,
I don't agree with your premise. Maybe the missing item is that he lost his job or his car broke down so he didn't have the money or time to buy flowers.

How do I select a topic for a philosophy paper?
All students are expected to write one term paper on a relevant topic in the course that
considers a philosophical position or contemporary environmental issue in detail. Papers
should be 5-6 pages in length, double-spaced, in font size 12 and free from grammatical and
other errors. Papers should show creativity and imagination but should also be written with
clarity and precision. Students will first submit a thesis statement indicating their topic,
proposed argument, and support from philosophical sources. The thesis is worth 5% of the
final grade and is graded on a pass/fail basis. Students will receive comments and guidance
from the instructor regarding their thesis before the paper’s due date. Consult the Course
Schedule for all due dates. Students are warmly encouraged to discuss the paper topic with
the instructor. Please see the instructor if you have further questions or need help during any
phase of the writing process.
The first step in the writing process is picking a topic that interests you. What issues
were you hoping to tackle in this course? What ideas have most impacted the way you think?
What would you like to know more about? Narrowing the field to a few topics is a good start.
From there, consider what readings our book offers on the subject. You are free to write about
any environmental issue, as long as it is considered from a moral point of view. That said,
you might also look into public policy, environmental science, economics or any other
related field. Following your interest is one way to encourage creativity in your papers.
Starting with a question regarding your topic is a good second step. What would you
like to investigate about a particular topic? Consider the scope of your paper and whether or
not there will be conclusive and clear evidence for you to research. Solid papers will argue
for a clear point and will incorporate relevant evidence when applicable. As you settle on
your topic, consider what premises you will need to consider in order to reach a conclusion
on your topic. Think of these premises as the primary support for what your paper aims to
prove. These three premises should help frame your paper, setting the scope of your
investigation. Next, consider how each of these premises logically fit together to help you
address your topic of choice. Try to make these premises fit as precisely as possible. The
more you are able to simplify these premises into a logical argument, the more precise your
paper will be. Obviously, you’ll return to these as you pursue this topic through research. But
you are now on your way to formulating a thesis. For a more detailed discussion of the thesi.

2.1 Arguments in Logic
Chapter 1 provisionally defined argument as a methodical defense of a position. We referred to this as the commonsense understanding of the way the word argument is employed in logic. The commonsense definition is very useful in helping us recognize a unique form of expression in ordinary human communication. It is part of the human condition to differ in opinion with another person and, in response, to attempt to change that person’s opinion. We may attempt, for example, to provide good reasons for seeing a particular movie or to show that our preferred kind of music is the best. Or we may try to show others that smoking or heavy drinking is harmful. As you will see, these are all arguments in the commonsense understanding of the term.
In Chapter 1 we also distinguished the commonsense understanding of argument from the meaning of argument in ordinary use. Arguments in ordinary use require an exchange between at least two people. As clarified in Chapter 1, commonsense arguments do not necessarily involve a dialogue and therefore do not involve an exchange. In fact, one could develop a methodical defense of a position—that is, a commonsense argument—in solitude, simply to examine what it would require to advocate for a particular position. In contrast, arguments, as understoo.

Standard Form Arguments
Discussion Title
The central tool of logic is the argument. Accordingly, constructing good arguments is the central element of this course. Each writing assignment in this course will give you an opportunity to construct and improve upon an argument that you will develop as the course progresses. This discussion post allows you to begin the process of developing your argument by presenting good reasoning on both sides of an issue.
The requirement for this discussion is a minimum of four posts on four separate days, including at least two substantive responses to peers. The total combined word count for all of your posts for this discussion, counted together, should be at least 400 words. Answer all the questions in the prompt, and read any resources that are required to complete the discussion properly. In order to satisfy the posting requirements for the week, complete your initial post by Day 3 (Thursday) and your other posts by Day 7 (Monday). We recommend that you get into the discussion early and spread out your posts over the course of the week. Reply to your classmates and instructor. Attempt to take the conversation further by responding substantively to the replies that others make to you as well. Keep the discussion on target, and analyze things in as much detail as you can.
Prepare: To prepare for this discussion, make sure to read the assigned chapters of the primary text and to review the required resources, including the videos about arguments (in the “Lectures” link on the left). Before responding to the prompt, make sure as well to participate in the interactive scenario at the top of this page titledThe Raise to gain more appreciation of the importance of constructing good arguments in life.
Reflect: Choose a topic from thePHI103 Final Paper Options list. It should be a topic that you find interesting, but also for which you will be able defend a position with careful logical reasoning. Construct the strongest argument that you can on each side of the issue. Strengthen your arguments by contemplating possible objections to each argument, and revise your arguments in light of the objections. Continue this process until you feel that your arguments for each side are as convincing as you can possibly make them.
Write: Present your two arguments (one on each side of the issue) in standard form (with each premise and conclusion on a separate line) on the topic you selected from thePHI103 Final Paper Options list. The two arguments should defend different positions on the topic. For example, if your topic was the existence of Santa Claus, then you would present one argument for the claim that Santa Claus does exist and another argument that Santa Claus does not exist. The premises of each argument will present reasons for thinking that the conclusion is true.
Here is an example of what an argument in standard form looks like:
Premise 1: If Santa Claus exists, then he lives at the North Pole.

Elementary CurriculaBoth articles highlight the fact that middle.docxtoltonkendal
Elementary Curricula
Both articles highlight the fact that middle-class students seem to benefit more from summer reading programs than their lower-SES peers. While we would hope that summer reading programs would have the same positive impact on all students, this information did not totally surprise me. Differences in funding, materials, and ability to recruit enough high-quality teachers for summer programs could be more difficult in lower-socioeconomic areas. In addition, the articles did not dive into other factors in the students’ lives that may be contributing to their performance such as attendance, how well-rested they are, trauma they have experiences that impacts their ability to focus during instruction, and the impact of being taught by a teacher who the students may not know or have a relationship with. Additionally, there could be a mismatch between the instructional practices and the specific needs of the students. Even though summer reading programs are only for a short time, I would challenge teachers to put energy into getting to know the students and building trust with them. This is a key foundation that is needed for learning to take place.
In challenging teachers during summer program and the regular school year to ”break out of the mold” to create better outcomes for students classified with low SES, in addition to building relationships with students, I would encourage them to build connections with their families. This may involve thinking outside the box and leaving their comfort zone. It could entail holding a parent-teacher conference off campus, closer to their home or in their community. It could also include providing resources and instructional videos to parents so they can help support their children at home. There are many parents who want to support their children academically, but they do not know how and may be uncomfortable asking the teacher for assistance. In addition, I would urge teachers to capitalize on the strengths and interests of their students to engage them in learning activities and provide them with opportunities to shine. We do not have to, and should not, be satisfied with the idea that low SES students will automatically not be able to perform. These students are capable of learning and growth just as much as any other student. I think data from test scores that demonstrate a gap between the performance of students classified as economically disadvantaged and not economically disadvantaged has led some people to hold the belief that students classified as low SES will not perform well. I think the way that school “report card” grades are published also perpetuates this belief, as it shows the test scores, but does not provide an explanation of or include any solutions for the many larger societal factors that contribute to those scores including high teacher turn over, lack of resources, child trauma, lack of sleep, lack of nutrition, crime & safety, and education level of parents.

Elements of MusicPitch- relative highness or lowness that we .docxtoltonkendal
Elements of Music
Pitch- relative highness or lowness that we hear in a sound.
Tone- sound that has a definite pitch.
(For example striking a bat against a ball does not produce a D# but striking a D#
on a piano does)
Dynamics- the degree of loudness or softness in music
pp pianissimo /very soft
p piano /soft
mp mezzo-piano /medium-soft
mf mezzo-forte /medium-loud
f forte /loud
ff fortissimo /very loud
When dynamics are altered in a piece of music, they are termed as follows:
decrescendo/ diminuendo gradually softer
crescendo gradually louder
Timbre/Tone Color- the character or quality of a sound.
dark, bright, mellow, cool, metallic, rich, brilliant, thin, etc.
Rhythm- a) the flow (or pattern) of music through time. b) the particular arrangement of
note lengths in a piece of music.
Syncopation- An accent placed on a beat where it is not normally expected.
Beat- the steady pulse in a piece of music.
Downbeat- the first or stressed beat of a measure.
Meter- the pattern in which beats are organized within a piece of music.
Examples:
3/4= three beats per measure
4/4= four beats per measure
6/8= six beats per measure
*In some musics, meter is not present- this is termed non-metric.
(Ex: Chant, some 20th century genres, world musics).
Melody- a series of single notes that add up to a recognizable whole.
*A melodic line has a shape -it ascends and descends in a series of continuous pitches.
Sequence- a repetition of a pattern at a higher or lower pitch.
Phrase- A short unit of music within a melodic line.
Cadence- The rest at the end of a musical phrase. Think of this as a musical period at the
end of a sentence.
Harmony- A) How chords are constructed and how they follow each other. B) The
relationship of tones when sounded in a group.
Chord- a combination of three or more tones sounded at once.
Consonance- a stable tone combination in a chord
Dissonance- and unstable tone combination in a chord; usually, an expected
and stable resolution will follow.
Tonic- a) the main key of a piece of music. b) the first note of a scale
Key- the central tone or scale in a piece of music.
(example: A major, b minor)
Modulation- a shift from one key to another within the same piece of music.
Texture- layering of musical sounds or instruments within a piece of music.
Monophonic- single, unaccompanied melodic line.
Homophonic- a melody with an accompaniment of chords.
Polyphonic- th.

Elevated Blood Lead Levels in Children Associated
With the Flint Drinking Water Crisis: A Spatial
Analysis of Risk and Public Health Response
Mona Hanna-Attisha, MD, MPH, Jenny LaChance, MS, Richard Casey Sadler, PhD, and Allison Champney Schnepp, MD
Objectives. We analyzed differences in pediatric elevated blood lead level incidence
before and after Flint, Michigan, introduced a more corrosive water source into an aging
water system without adequate corrosion control.
Methods. We reviewed blood lead levels for children younger than 5 years before
(2013) and after (2015) water source change in Greater Flint, Michigan. We assessed the
percentage of elevated blood lead levels in both time periods, and identified geo-
graphical locations through spatial analysis.
Results. Incidence of elevated blood lead levels increased from 2.4% to 4.9% (P < .05)
after water source change, and neighborhoods with the highest water lead levels ex-
perienced a 6.6% increase. No significant change was seen outside the city. Geospatial
analysis identified disadvantaged neighborhoods as having the greatest elevated blood
lead level increases and informed response prioritization during the now-declared public
health emergency.
Conclusions. The percentage of children with elevated blood lead levels increased
after water source change, particularly in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbor-
hoods. Water is a growing source of childhood lead exposure because of aging infra-
structure. (Am J Public Health. 2016;106:283–290. doi:10.2105/AJPH.2015.303003)
See also Rosner, p. 200.
In April 2014, the postindustrial city ofFlint, Michigan, under state-appointed
emergency management, changed its water
supply from Detroit-supplied Lake Huron
water to the Flint River as a temporary
measure, awaiting a new pipeline to Lake
Huron in 2016. Intended to save money, the
change in source water severed a half-
century relationship with the Detroit Water
and Sewage Department. Shortly after the
switch to Flint River water, residents voiced
concerns regarding water color, taste, and
odor, and various health complaints in-
cluding skin rashes.1 Bacteria, including
Escherichia coli, were detected in the distri-
bution system, resulting in Safe Drinking
Water Act violations.2 Additional disinfec-
tion to control bacteria spurred formation of
disinfection byproducts including total tri-
halomethanes, resulting in Safe Drinking
Water Act violations for trihalomethane
levels.2
Water from the Detroit Water and
Sewage Department had very low corrosivity
for lead as indicated by low chloride, low
chloride-to-sulfate mass ratio, and presence
of an orthophosphate corrosion inhibitor.3,4
By contrast, Flint River water had high
chloride, high chloride-to-sulfate mass ratio,
and no corrosion inhibitor.5 Switching
from Detroit’s Lake Huron to Flint River
water created a perfect storm for lead leach-
ing into drinking water.6 The aging Flint
water distribution system contains a hig.

In Chapter One, we learned communication is the process of creating or sharing meaning in informal conversation, group interaction, or public speaking. To understand how the process works, we described the essential elements in the process.
For the following interaction, identify the contexts, participants, channels. message, interference (noise), and feedback.
"Maria and Damien are meandering through the park, talking and drinking bottled water. Damien finishes his bottle, replaces the lid, and tosses the bottle into the bushes at the side of the path. Maria, who has been listening to Damien talk, comes to a stop, puts her hand on her hips, stares at Damien, and says angrily, " I can't believe what you just did! Damien blushes, averts his gaze, and mumbles, "Sorry, I'll get it- I just wasn't thinking." As the tension drains from Maria's face. she gives her head a playful toss, smiles, and says, Well, just see that it doesn't happen again.

Elements of DesignDuring the process of envisioning and designing .docxtoltonkendal
Elements of Design
During the process of envisioning and designing a film, the director, production designer, and art director (in collaboration with the cinematographer) are concerned with several major spatial and temporal elements. These design elements punctuate and underscore the movement of figures within the frame, including the following: setting, lighting, costuming, makeup, and hairstyles. Choose a scene from movieclips.com. In a three to five page paper, (excluding the cover and reference pages) analyze the mise-en-scène.
Respond to the following prompts with at least one paragraph per bulleted topic:
Identify the names of the artists involved in the film’s production: the director, the production designer, and the art director. Describe in separate paragraphs each artist’s role in the overall design process. Conduct additional research if necessary, citing your book, film, and other external sources correctly in APA format.
Explain how the artists utilize lighting in the scene. How does the lighting affect our emotional understanding of certain characters? What sort of mood does the lighting evoke? How does lighting impact the overall story the filmmaker is attempting to tell?
Describe the setting, including the time period, location, and culture in which the film takes place.
Explain what costuming can tell us about a character. In what ways can costuming be used to reflect elements of the film's plot?
Explain how hairstyle and makeup can help tell the story. What might hairstyle and makeup reveal about the characters?
Discuss your opinion regarding the mise-en-scène. Do the elements appear to work together in a harmonious way? Does the scene seem discordant? Do you think the design elements are congruent with the filmmaker’s vision for the scene?

Elements of a contact due 16 OctRead the Case Campbell Soup Co. v..docxtoltonkendal
Elements of a contact due 16 Oct
Read the Case Campbell Soup Co. v. Wentz in the text. Answer the following questions:
1. What were the terms of the contract between Campbell and the Wentzes?
2. Did the Wentzes perform under the contract?
3. Did the court find specific performance to be an adequate legal remedy in this case?
4. Why did the court refuse to help Campbell in enforcing its legal contract?
5. How could Campbell change its contract in the future so as to avoid the unconsionability problem?
Facts:
Per
a
written
contract
between
Campbell
Soup
Company
(a
New
Jersey
company)
and
the
Wentzes
(carrot
farmers
in
Pennsylvania),
the
Wentzes
would
deliver
to
Campbell
all
the
Chantenay
red
cored
carrots
to
be
grown
on
the
Wentz
farm
during
the
1947
season.
The
contract
price
for
the
carrots
was
$30
per
ton.
The
contract
between
Campbell
Soup
and
all
sellers
of
carrots
was
drafted
by
Campbell
and
it
had
a
provision
that
prohibited
farmers/sellers
from
selling
their
carrots
to
anyone
else,
except
those
carrots
that
were
rejected
by
Campbell.
The
contract
also
had
a
liquidated
damages
provision
of
$50
per
ton
if
the
seller
breached,
but
it
had
no
similar
provision
in
the
event
Campbell
breached.
The
contract
not
only
allowed
Campbell
to
reject
nonconforming
carrots,
but
gave
Campbell
the
right
to
determine
who
could
buy
the
carrots
it
had
rejected.
The
Wentzes
harvested
100
tons
of
carrots,
but
because
the
market
price
at
the
time
of
harvesting
was
$90
per
ton
for
these
rare
carrots,
the
Wentzes
refused
to
deliver
them
to
Campbell
and
sold
62
tons
of
their
carrots
to
a
farmer
who
sold
some
of
those
carrots
to
Campbell.
Campbell
sued
the
Wentzes,
asking
for
the
court's
order
to
stop
further
sale
of
the
contracted
carrots
to
others
and
to
compel
specific
performance
of
the
contract.
The
trial
court
ruled
for
the
Wentzes
and
Campbell
appealed.
Issues:
Is
specific
performance
an
appropriate
legal
remedy
in
this
case
or
is
the
contract
unconscionable?
Discussion:
In
January
1948,
it
was
virtually
impossible
to
obtain
Chantenay
carrots
in
the
open
market.
Campbell
used
Chantenay
carrots
(which
are
easier
to
process
for
soup
making
than
other
carrots)
in
large
quantities
and
furnishes
the
seeds
to
farmers
with
whom
it
contracts.
Campbell
contracted
for
carrots
long
ahead,
and
farmers
entered
into
the
contract
willingly.
If
the
facts
of
this
case
were
this
simple,
specific
performance
should
have
been
granted.
However,
the
problem
is
with
the
contract
itself,
which
was
one-sided.
According
to
the
appellate
court,
the
most
direct
example
of
unconscionability
was
the

Standard Form Arguments
Discussion Title
The central tool of logic is the argument. Accordingly, constructing good arguments is the central element of this course. Each writing assignment in this course will give you an opportunity to construct and improve upon an argument that you will develop as the course progresses. This discussion post allows you to begin the process of developing your argument by presenting good reasoning on both sides of an issue.
The requirement for this discussion is a minimum of four posts on four separate days, including at least two substantive responses to peers. The total combined word count for all of your posts for this discussion, counted together, should be at least 400 words. Answer all the questions in the prompt, and read any resources that are required to complete the discussion properly. In order to satisfy the posting requirements for the week, complete your initial post by Day 3 (Thursday) and your other posts by Day 7 (Monday). We recommend that you get into the discussion early and spread out your posts over the course of the week. Reply to your classmates and instructor. Attempt to take the conversation further by responding substantively to the replies that others make to you as well. Keep the discussion on target, and analyze things in as much detail as you can.
Prepare: To prepare for this discussion, make sure to read the assigned chapters of the primary text and to review the required resources, including the videos about arguments (in the “Lectures” link on the left). Before responding to the prompt, make sure as well to participate in the interactive scenario at the top of this page titledThe Raise to gain more appreciation of the importance of constructing good arguments in life.
Reflect: Choose a topic from thePHI103 Final Paper Options list. It should be a topic that you find interesting, but also for which you will be able defend a position with careful logical reasoning. Construct the strongest argument that you can on each side of the issue. Strengthen your arguments by contemplating possible objections to each argument, and revise your arguments in light of the objections. Continue this process until you feel that your arguments for each side are as convincing as you can possibly make them.
Write: Present your two arguments (one on each side of the issue) in standard form (with each premise and conclusion on a separate line) on the topic you selected from thePHI103 Final Paper Options list. The two arguments should defend different positions on the topic. For example, if your topic was the existence of Santa Claus, then you would present one argument for the claim that Santa Claus does exist and another argument that Santa Claus does not exist. The premises of each argument will present reasons for thinking that the conclusion is true.
Here is an example of what an argument in standard form looks like:
Premise 1: If Santa Claus exists, then he lives at the North Pole.

Elementary CurriculaBoth articles highlight the fact that middle.docxtoltonkendal
Elementary Curricula
Both articles highlight the fact that middle-class students seem to benefit more from summer reading programs than their lower-SES peers. While we would hope that summer reading programs would have the same positive impact on all students, this information did not totally surprise me. Differences in funding, materials, and ability to recruit enough high-quality teachers for summer programs could be more difficult in lower-socioeconomic areas. In addition, the articles did not dive into other factors in the students’ lives that may be contributing to their performance such as attendance, how well-rested they are, trauma they have experiences that impacts their ability to focus during instruction, and the impact of being taught by a teacher who the students may not know or have a relationship with. Additionally, there could be a mismatch between the instructional practices and the specific needs of the students. Even though summer reading programs are only for a short time, I would challenge teachers to put energy into getting to know the students and building trust with them. This is a key foundation that is needed for learning to take place.
In challenging teachers during summer program and the regular school year to ”break out of the mold” to create better outcomes for students classified with low SES, in addition to building relationships with students, I would encourage them to build connections with their families. This may involve thinking outside the box and leaving their comfort zone. It could entail holding a parent-teacher conference off campus, closer to their home or in their community. It could also include providing resources and instructional videos to parents so they can help support their children at home. There are many parents who want to support their children academically, but they do not know how and may be uncomfortable asking the teacher for assistance. In addition, I would urge teachers to capitalize on the strengths and interests of their students to engage them in learning activities and provide them with opportunities to shine. We do not have to, and should not, be satisfied with the idea that low SES students will automatically not be able to perform. These students are capable of learning and growth just as much as any other student. I think data from test scores that demonstrate a gap between the performance of students classified as economically disadvantaged and not economically disadvantaged has led some people to hold the belief that students classified as low SES will not perform well. I think the way that school “report card” grades are published also perpetuates this belief, as it shows the test scores, but does not provide an explanation of or include any solutions for the many larger societal factors that contribute to those scores including high teacher turn over, lack of resources, child trauma, lack of sleep, lack of nutrition, crime & safety, and education level of parents.

Elements of Music
Pitch- relative highness or lowness that we hear in a sound.
Tone- sound that has a definite pitch.
(For example striking a bat against a ball does not produce a D# but striking a D#
on a piano does)
Dynamics- the degree of loudness or softness in music
pp pianissimo /very soft
p piano /soft
mp mezzo-piano /medium-soft
mf mezzo-forte /medium-loud
f forte /loud
ff fortissimo /very loud
When dynamics are altered in a piece of music, they are termed as follows:
decrescendo/ diminuendo gradually softer
crescendo gradually louder
Timbre/Tone Color- the character or quality of a sound.
dark, bright, mellow, cool, metallic, rich, brilliant, thin, etc.
Rhythm- a) the flow (or pattern) of music through time. b) the particular arrangement of
note lengths in a piece of music.
Syncopation- An accent placed on a beat where it is not normally expected.
Beat- the steady pulse in a piece of music.
Downbeat- the first or stressed beat of a measure.
Meter- the pattern in which beats are organized within a piece of music.
Examples:
3/4= three beats per measure
4/4= four beats per measure
6/8= six beats per measure
*In some musics, meter is not present- this is termed non-metric.
(Ex: Chant, some 20th century genres, world musics).
Melody- a series of single notes that add up to a recognizable whole.
*A melodic line has a shape -it ascends and descends in a series of continuous pitches.
Sequence- a repetition of a pattern at a higher or lower pitch.
Phrase- A short unit of music within a melodic line.
Cadence- The rest at the end of a musical phrase. Think of this as a musical period at the
end of a sentence.

relationship of tones when sounded in a group.
Chord- a combination of three or more tones sounded at once.
Consonance- a stable tone combination in a chord
Dissonance- and unstable tone combination in a chord; usually, an expected
and stable resolution will follow.

Elevated Blood Lead Levels in Children Associated
With the Flint Drinking Water Crisis: A Spatial
Analysis of Risk and Public Health Response
Mona Hanna-Attisha, MD, MPH, Jenny LaChance, MS, Richard Casey Sadler, PhD, and Allison Champney Schnepp, MD
Objectives. We analyzed differences in pediatric elevated blood lead level incidence
before and after Flint, Michigan, introduced a more corrosive water source into an aging
water system without adequate corrosion control.
Methods. We reviewed blood lead levels for children younger than 5 years before
(2013) and after (2015) water source change in Greater Flint, Michigan. We assessed the
percentage of elevated blood lead levels in both time periods, and identified geo-
graphical locations through spatial analysis.
Results. Incidence of elevated blood lead levels increased from 2.4% to 4.9% (P < .05)
after water source change, and neighborhoods with the highest water lead levels ex-
perienced a 6.6% increase. No significant change was seen outside the city. Geospatial
analysis identified disadvantaged neighborhoods as having the greatest elevated blood
lead level increases and informed response prioritization during the now-declared public
health emergency.
Conclusions. The percentage of children with elevated blood lead levels increased
after water source change, particularly in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbor-
hoods. Water is a growing source of childhood lead exposure because of aging infra-
structure. (Am J Public Health. 2016;106:283–290. doi:10.2105/AJPH.2015.303003)
See also Rosner, p. 200.
In April 2014, the postindustrial city ofFlint, Michigan, under state-appointed
emergency management, changed its water
supply from Detroit-supplied Lake Huron
water to the Flint River as a temporary
measure, awaiting a new pipeline to Lake
Huron in 2016. Intended to save money, the
change in source water severed a half-
century relationship with the Detroit Water
and Sewage Department. Shortly after the
switch to Flint River water, residents voiced
concerns regarding water color, taste, and
odor, and various health complaints in-
cluding skin rashes.1 Bacteria, including
Escherichia coli, were detected in the distri-
bution system, resulting in Safe Drinking
Water Act violations.2 Additional disinfec-
tion to control bacteria spurred formation of
disinfection byproducts including total tri-
halomethanes, resulting in Safe Drinking
Water Act violations for trihalomethane
levels.2
Water from the Detroit Water and
Sewage Department had very low corrosivity
for lead as indicated by low chloride, low
chloride-to-sulfate mass ratio, and presence
of an orthophosphate corrosion inhibitor.3,4
By contrast, Flint River water had high
chloride, high chloride-to-sulfate mass ratio,
and no corrosion inhibitor.5 Switching
from Detroit’s Lake Huron to Flint River
water created a perfect storm for lead leach-
ing into drinking water.6 The aging Flint
water distribution system contains a hig.

Damien blushes, averts his gaze, and mumbles, "Sorry, I'll get it- I just wasn't thinking."

Version 1.1 of this Cybersecurity Framework refines, clarifies, and enhances Version 1.0, which
was issued in February 2014. It incorporates comments received on the two drafts of Version 1.1.
Version 1.1 is intended to be implemented by first-time and current Framework users. Current
users should be able to implement Version 1.1 with minimal or no disruption; compatibility with
Version 1.0 has been an explicit objective.
The following table summarizes the changes made between Version 1.0 and Version 1.1.
Table NTR-1 - Summary of changes between Framework Version 1.0 and Version 1.1.
Update Description of Update
Clarified that terms like
“compliance” can be
confusing and mean
something very different
to various Framework
stakeholders
Added clarity that the Framework has utility as a structure and
language for organizing and expressing compliance with an
organization’s own cybersecurity requirements. However, the
variety of ways in which the Framework can be used by an
organization means that phrases like “compliance with the
Framework” can be confusing.
A new section on self-
assessment
Added Section 4.0 Self-Assessing Cybersecurity Risk with the
Framework to explain how the Framework can be used by
organizations to understand and assess their cybersecurity risk,
including the use of measurements.
Greatly expanded
explanation of using

Elements of DesignDuring the process of envisioning and designing .docxtoltonkendal
Elements of Design
During the process of envisioning and designing a film, the director, production designer, and art director (in collaboration with the cinematographer) are concerned with several major spatial and temporal elements. These design elements punctuate and underscore the movement of figures within the frame, including the following: setting, lighting, costuming, makeup, and hairstyles. Choose a scene from movieclips.com. In a three to five page paper, (excluding the cover and reference pages) analyze the mise-en-scène.
Respond to the following prompts with at least one paragraph per bulleted topic:
Identify the names of the artists involved in the film’s production: the director, the production designer, and the art director. Describe in separate paragraphs each artist’s role in the overall design process. Conduct additional research if necessary, citing your book, film, and other external sources correctly in APA format.
Explain how the artists utilize lighting in the scene. How does the lighting affect our emotional understanding of certain characters? What sort of mood does the lighting evoke? How does lighting impact the overall story the filmmaker is attempting to tell?
Describe the setting, including the time period, location, and culture in which the film takes place.
Explain what costuming can tell us about a character. In what ways can costuming be used to reflect elements of the film's plot?
Explain how hairstyle and makeup can help tell the story. What might hairstyle and makeup reveal about the characters?
Discuss your opinion regarding the mise-en-scène. Do the elements appear to work together in a harmonious way? Does the scene seem discordant? Do you think the design elements are congruent with the filmmaker’s vision for the scene?

Elements of a contact due 16 OctRead the Case Campbell Soup Co. v..docxtoltonkendal
Elements of a contact due 16 Oct
Read the Case Campbell Soup Co. v. Wentz in the text. Answer the following questions:
1. What were the terms of the contract between Campbell and the Wentzes?
2. Did the Wentzes perform under the contract?
3. Did the court find specific performance to be an adequate legal remedy in this case?
4. Why did the court refuse to help Campbell in enforcing its legal contract?
5. How could Campbell change its contract in the future so as to avoid the unconsionability problem?
Facts:
Per
a
written
contract
between
Campbell
Soup
Company
(a
New
Jersey
company)
and
the
Wentzes
(carrot
farmers
in
Pennsylvania),
the
Wentzes
would
deliver
to
Campbell
all
the
Chantenay
red
cored
carrots
to
be
grown
on
the
Wentz
farm
during
the
1947
season.
The
contract
price
for
the
carrots
was
$30
per
ton.
The
contract
between
Campbell
Soup
and
all
sellers
of
carrots
was
drafted
by
Campbell
and
it
had
a
provision
that
prohibited
farmers/sellers
from
selling
their
carrots
to
anyone
else,
except
those
carrots
that
were
rejected
by
Campbell.
The
contract
also
had
a
liquidated
damages
provision
of
$50
per
ton
if
the
seller
breached,
but
it
had
no
similar
provision
in
the
event
Campbell
breached.
The
contract
not
only
allowed
Campbell
to
reject
nonconforming
carrots,
but
gave
Campbell
the
right
to
determine
who
could
buy
the
carrots
it
had
rejected.
The
Wentzes
harvested
100
tons
of
carrots,
but
because
the
market
price
at
the
time
of
harvesting
was
$90
per
ton
for
these
rare
carrots,
the
Wentzes
refused
to
deliver
them
to
Campbell
and
sold
62
tons
of
their
carrots
to
a
farmer
who
sold
some
of
those
carrots
to
Campbell.
Campbell
sued
the
Wentzes,
asking
for
the
court's
order
to
stop
further
sale
of
the
contracted
carrots
to
others
and
to
compel
specific
performance
of
the
contract.
The
trial
court
ruled
for
the
Wentzes
and
Campbell
appealed.
Issues:
Is
specific
performance
an
appropriate
legal
remedy
in
this
case
or
is
the
contract
unconscionable?
Discussion:
In
January
1948,
it
was
virtually
impossible
to
obtain
Chantenay
carrots
in
the
open
market.
Campbell
used
Chantenay
carrots
(which
are
easier
to
process
for
soup
making
than
other
carrots)
in
large
quantities
and
furnishes
the
seeds
to
farmers
with
whom
it
contracts.
Campbell
contracted
for
carrots
long
ahead,
and
farmers
entered
into
the
contract
willingly.
If
the
facts
of
this
case
were
this
simple,
specific
performance
should
have
been
granted.
However,
the
problem
is
with
the
contract
itself,
which
was
one-sided.
According
to
the
appellate
court,
the
most
direct
example
of
unconscionability
was
the
provision
that,

6. Lens/filter/stock: How do these distort or comment on the
photographed materials?
7. Subsidiary contrasts: What are the main eye-stops after taking in the dominant?
8. Density: How much visual information is packed into the image? Is the texture stark, moderate, or highly detailed?
9. Composition: How is the two-dimensional space segmented and organized? What is the underlying design?
10. Form: Open or closed? Does the image suggest a window that arbitrarily isolates a fragment of the scene? Or a proscenium arch, in which the visual elements are carefully arranged and held in balance?
11. Framing: Tight or loose? Do characters have little to no room to move, or can they move freely without impediments?
12. Depth: On how many planes is the image composed? Does the background or foreground comment in any way on the midground?
13. Character placement: What part of the framed space do the characters occupy? Center? Top? Bottom? Edges? Why?
14. Staging positions: Which way do the characters look vis-à-vis the camera?
15. Character proxemics: How much space is between the
characters?
What are the 4 distinct formal elements that make up a film's mise en scene?
• staging of the action
• physical setting and decor
• the manner in which these materials are framed
• the manner in which they are photographed

Objectives
This chapter introduces the analysis of the time response of different
control systems under different scenarios. Only first and second order
systems will be considered in details using analytical and numerical
methods. Extension to higher order systems will be developed. Both
transient and steady state responses will be evaluated. Stability analysis
will be analyzed for different kinds of feedback, while investigating the
effect of both proportional and derivative control actions on the
performance of the closed-loop system. Finally systems types and
steady state errors will be calculated for unity feedback.
Outcomes
By the end of this chapter, students will be able to:
evaluate both transient/steady state responses for control systems,
analyze the stability of closed-loop LTI systems,
investigate the effect of P and I control actions on performance, and
understand dominant dynamics of higher order systems.

Assessment Case Study:
Greenland Garden Centre
[1]
Jon Smith spread his arms widely as he surveyed his garden centre.
‘Of course the whole market for leisure products and services, especially garden-related products, has been expanding over the last few years. Even so, we have been particularly successful. Partly this is because we are conveniently located, but it is also because we have developed a reputation for excellent service. Customers like coming to us for advice. We have also been successful in attracting some of the ‘personality gardeners’ from television to make special appearances. My main ambition now is to fully develop all of our twelve hectares to make the centre a place people will want to visit in its own right. I envisage the centre developing into almost a mini gardening theme park with special gardens, beautiful grounds and special events.’
Greenland is a large village situated in the Cotswolds, a popular tourist area of the UK. It has an interesting range of shops and restaurants, mainly catering for the tourist trade. About half a mile outside the village is the Greenland Garden Centre. The garden centre is served by a good network of main roads but is inaccessible by public transport.
Growth over the last five years has been dramatic and the garden centre now sells many other goods as well as gardening requisites. It also has a restaurant. It is open seven days a week, only closing on Christmas Day. Its opening hours are Monday– Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. all year round.
Outside the centre
The centre has a large car park which can accommodate about 350 cars. Outside the entrance a map indicates the various areas in the garden centre. Most customers walk round the grounds before making their purchases. The length of time people spend in the centre varies but, according to a recent study, averages 53 minutes during the week and 73 minutes at weekends.
The same study shows the extent to which the number of customers arriving at the garden centre varies depending on the time of year, day of the week, and time of day. There are two peaks in customer numbers, one during the late spring/early summer period and another in the build up to Christmas, as Greenland puts on particularly good Christmas displays.
Indoor sales area
The range of goods has increased dramatically over the past few years and now includes items such as:
pets and aquatics
seeds
fertilisers
indoor pots and plants
gardening equipment
garden lighting
conservatory-style furniture
outdoor clothing
picture gallery
books and toys
delicatessen
wine
kitchen equipment
soft furnishing

LAB 4: CONVOLUTION
Background & Concepts
Convolution is denoted by:
𝑦[𝑛] = 𝑥[𝑛] ∗ ℎ[𝑛]
Your book has described the "flip and shift" method for performing convolution. First, we
set up two signals 𝑥[𝑘] and ℎ[𝑘]:
Flip one of the signals, say ℎ[𝑘], to form ℎ[−𝑘]:
ELEG 320L – Signals & Systems Laboratory /Dr. Jibran Khan Yousafzai Lab 4

Shift ℎ[−𝑘] by n to form ℎ[𝑛 − 𝑘]. For each value of 𝑛, form 𝑦[𝑛] by multiplying and
summing all the element of the product of𝑥[𝑘]ℎ[𝑛 − 𝑘], −∞ < 𝑘 < ∞. The figure
below shows an example of the calculation of𝑦[1]. The top panel shows𝑥[𝑘]. The
middle panel showsℎ[1 − 𝑘]. The lower panel shows𝑥[𝑘]𝑦[1 − 𝑘]. Note that this is a
sequence on a 𝑘 axis. The sum of the lower sequence over all k gives 𝑦[1] = 2.
We repeat this shifting, multiplication and summing for all values of 𝑛 to get the
complete sequence 𝑦[𝑛]:
ELEG 320L – Signals & Systems Laboratory /Dr. Jibran Khan Yousafzai Lab 4

The conv Command
conv(x,h) performs a 1-D convolution of vectors 𝑥 and ℎ. The resulting vector 𝑦
has length length(𝑦) = length(𝑥) + length(ℎ) − 1. Imagine vector 𝑥 as being
stationary and the flipped version of ℎ is slid from left to right. Note that conv(x,h) =
conv(h,x). An example of the convolution of two signals and plotting the result is
below:
>> x = [0.5 0.5 0.5]; %define input signal x[n]
>> h = [3.0 2.0 1.0]; %unit-pulse response h[n]
>> y = conv(x,h); %compute output y[n] via convolution

Deconvolution
The command [q,r] = deconv(v,u), deconvolves vector u out of vector v, using long
division. The quotient is returned in vector q and the remainder in vector r such that
v = conv(u,q)+r. If u and v are vectors of polynomial coefficients, convolving them is
equivalent to multiplying the two polynomials, and deconvolution is polynomial
division. The result of dividing v by u is quotient q and remainder r. An examples is
below:
If
>> u = [1 2 3 4];
>> v = [10 20 30];
The convolution is:
>> c = conv(u,v)
c =
10 40 100 160 170 120
Use deconvolution to recover v.
>> [q,r] = deconv(c,u)
q =
10 20 30
r =
0 0 0 0 0 0
This gives a quotient equal to v and a zero remainder.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Write: Identify the components and structure of your argument
by presenting your deductively valid argument in standard form,
and explain how your conclusion follows from your premises.
Premise one: Because some arts and humanities classes take
place after school hours, these studies keep children out of
trouble after school.
Premise two: The arts and humanities enhance the learning
experience for children.
Premise three: Arts deepens a child’s knowledge and
understanding of other cultures and traditions.
Premise four: Participating in the arts and humanities can help
children who may not be great at traditional studies but have a
creative side.
Conclusion: Therefore, teaching children arts and humanities is
necessary for a child’s development.
I feel that all of my premises are true and valid and can be
proven to be true. My audience can also deduct that my
premises are true and thus valid.
Discuss Icon Guided Response: Read the arguments presented
by your classmates, and analyze the reasoning that they have
presented. In particular, if you believe that their argument is
invalid, explain a way in which it would be possible for the
2. premises to be true and the conclusion false. If you believe that
their argument has a false premise, explain why a reasonable
person might take it to be false. Finally, see if you can help
them to improve their argument. How can they alter their
premises so that all of them are true? What might they change
in order to make their argument valid?
Deductive Logic
Flipper is a dolphin, so Flipper is a mammal.
Missing premise to make the argument valid: Dolphins are
mammals. Dolphins live in the water, but they are not fish.
Therefore, not all mammals live on the land.
Premise one: Dolphins are mammals, not fish because they
come to the surface to breathe air.
Premise two: Fish do not need to breathe air, however, live in
water.
Conclusion: Not all aquatic beings are fish.
Hello Tania,
I don't agree with your premise. Maybe the missing item is that
he lost his job or his car broke down so he didn't have the
money or time to buy flowers.

TITLE OF PAPER 3
Ashford 2: - Week 1 - Discussion
Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and
you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates.
Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and
3. the depth of your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum
Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be
evaluated.
The central tool of logic is the argument. Accordingly,
constructing good arguments is the central element of this
course. Each writing assignment in this course will give you an
opportunity to construct and improve upon an argument that you
will develop as the course progresses. This discussion post
allows you to begin the process of developing your argument by
presenting good reasoning on both sides of an issue.
The requirement for this discussion is a minimum of four posts
on four separate days, including at least two substantive
responses to peers. The total combined word count for all of
your posts for this discussion, counted together, should be at
least 400 words. Answer all the questions in the prompt, and
read any resources that are required to complete the discussion
properly. In order to satisfy the posting requirements for the
week, complete your initial post by Day 3 (Thursday) and your
other posts by Day 7 (Monday). We recommend that you get
into the discussion early and spread out your posts over the
course of the week. Reply to your classmates and instructor.
Attempt to take the conversation further by responding
substantively to the replies that others make to you as well.
Keep the discussion on target, and analyze things in as much
detail as you can.
Prepare Icon Prepare: To prepare for this discussion, make sure
to read the assigned chapters of the primary text and to review
the required resources, including the videos about arguments (in
the “Lectures” link on the left). Before responding to the
prompt, make sure as well to participate in the interactive
scenario at the top of this page titled The Raise to gain more
appreciation of the importance of constructing good arguments
in life.
4. Reflect Icon Reflect: Choose a topic from the PHI103 Final
Paper Options list. It should be a topic that you find
interesting, but also for which you will be able defend a
position with careful logical reasoning. Construct the strongest
argument that you can on each side of the issue. Strengthen
your arguments by contemplating possible objections to each
argument, and revise your arguments in light of the objections.
Continue this process until you feel that your arguments for
each side are as convincing as you can possibly make them.
Write Icon Write: Present your two arguments (one on each side
of the issue) in standard form (with each premise and
conclusion on a separate line) on the topic you selected from the
PHI103 Final Paper Options list. The two arguments should
defend different positions on the topic. For example, if your
topic was the existence of Santa Claus, then you would present
one argument
Is it important to teach the arts and humanities to children?
ARGUMENT 1
Premise 1: Teaching arts and humanities to children help them
to become critical thinkers and wake up the creative side of
their brains. These skills also help our children understand
different cultures outside of their own. The skills that are taught
in arts and humanities can be poetry, paintings, philosophy, and
religion. It is also, said that the ancient Greeks taught art and
humanities to educate their citizens.
Conclusion: Teaching arts and humanities to our youth is
necessary for their personal growth.
The strength of Premise 1 is that studies can prove the
conclusion. This would be a deductive argument, because, if one
can accept the premise as valid or provable, then we must
accept the conclusion is true.
The weakness of Premise 1 has a possibility to be interrupted
5. differently from different people, according to your personal
experience with arts and humanities. However, both premises
could be supported and statistically backed up with evidence.
Premise 2: Focusing on studies of arts and humanities takes the
children’s focus off of the development of the core subjects in
school. For instance, while a child is learning a different
language or music they can be in a math class that will teach
them basic skills they will need in life. Thinking outside of the
box or creatively can hinder a child’s learning experience and
end up rejecting school altogether.
Conclusion: Teaching arts and humanities to the young children
can overwhelm them.
The strength of premise 2 is that the premises infer negative
reasons for teaching arts and humanities. Consequently, the
conclusion one can agree on is teaching arts and humanities can
hurt a child’s emotional state if they are not creative.
The weakness of premise 2 is that the premise has room for
different understandings. This would be an inductive argument,
because, the premise has a good likelihood of not being true.
Think about how the two arguments compare to each other. Is
one better than the other?
If so, what makes that one better? In my opinion premise one is
better because it is a more believable argument and can be
proven more easily to be true.
Is each a fair presentation of what someone taking that position
would say? Yes
Are the premises reasonable? Yes,
How might each argument be made better? I can provide some
research behind my arguments and add them to my premise to
make my arguments more convincing.

Discuss Icon Guided Response: Read the arguments presented
by your classmates, and analyze the reasoning that they have
presented. Whether you agree with their position or not, see if
you can help them to improve their arguments. In particular,
point out any respect in which a reasonable person might
disagree with the truth of their premises or with the strength of
their reasoning. Consider addressing the following questions:
Did your classmate present a convincing argument? Why, or
why not? Which part of the argument might someone dispute
(e.g., premise, conclusion, structure, etc.)? How might the
argument be strengthened? Make sure that your posts for the
week include at le ast two substantive responses to classmates.
Hello Christopher,
You did a great job on your post. However, I was not convinced
by the argument. I think for premise one “Premise 1: Social
media connects people, then it enhances interpersonal
relationships.” You can elaborate further to say that Social
media helps connect people from around the world stay
connected to their family and friends. For premise two you can
add to it something about social media hinders face to face
interaction, interpersonal communication, and speaking skills
are diminishing because of the internet.

7. Hello Melissa,
I agree with your premise one that all funding for universal
healthcare will come from the tax payer’s pockets, however,
right now it comes out of tax payer’s pockets to pay for people
to are on State aid and on top of that we still have to pay for our
own premiums. Actually, spreading the risk over a bigger pool
of people will lower the health insurance premiums. If you look
at Frances Universal health care, the Government helps the
citizens by paying so much money into the fund so the
premiums can be lower.
Barb
Hello Mia,
In your first premise, you say “It is morally wrong to cause
harm to another individual” however someone’s else’s morale’s
may not be the same as your own. Some people may come from
a different country or culture that tells them that torture is ok
and in some parts of the world acceptable. For your second
premise, I ask what actions are torture acceptable and by who.
Just some thoughts to help you on your argument.

CHILDREN 1
TEACHING ARTS AND HUMANITIES TO CHILDREN
2
Premise 1: Teaching children arts and humanities help develop
interpersonal interactions by integrating control and
responsiveness.
Premise 2: These creative programs enhance children’s learning
abilities.
Premise 3: Children who learn arts and humanities are
8. significantly less likely than nonparticipants to drop out of
school.
Premise 4: Ancient Greeks taught art and humanities to educate
their citizens and teach them about other civilizations.
Conclusion: Therefore, teaching arts and humanities to our
youth is necessary for their personal growth.
The first premise is widespread recognition that experience in
the arts at a young age enhances children's social and emotional
development. This review takes place in inner city elementary
schools by teachers who partook in a program called artist-in-
residence. This program specifically focused on arts
experiences, particularly drama. The idea was to enhance the
response and understanding of the emotional responses,
expressions, and actions of others. (Brouillette, 2010)
The second premise is grounded on a program that was launched
by the Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts. The
program is an early childhood arts program; that incorporates
learning Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
through the study of Arts. The Institute has been using the arts
successfully to teach these studies since 1981. These studies
include storytelling, music, movement and drama to enhance
language in preschool and kindergarten age children. The Wolf
Trap is taking a national leadership role by bringing education
and the arts together by infusing creativity and high-quality into
early childhood development. Studies show that U.S. students
are falling behind other countries in math and sciences and that
high-quality early childhood education plays a critical role in
ensuring a prosperous future for our children. (Wolf Trap
Foundation for the Performing Arts)
The third premise is founded on a study that suggested that
students who participate extra activities for instance orchestra,
chorus or band are less likely than students who are not
involved in these activities to become arrested, use drugs, or
drop out of school. The same study also suggested that the
youth of today spend less time in afterschool activities,
9. therefore are deprived of their benefits. This could be from lack
of extracurricular activity funding that schools are experiencing
or lack of extra money that the family has to contribute to some
of these services that need to be paid for by the family. (Eric,
n.d)
The fourth premise is widely known that the ancient Greeks
taught the arts and humanities to their citizens by way of plays,
poetry, pottery, music, sculpture, paintings, and theater.
This argument is deductively valid. All of my premises are true
and thus can be proven by statistics or studies. All of my
premises are linked to my conclusion that teaching arts and
humanities to the children helps give them an important head
start in the learning process.

Running head: TITLE OF PAPER 1
10. TITLE OF PAPER 2
Is it important to teach children Humanities and Arts?
This final assignment is designed to involve all of the main
skills that you have learned during this course. In particular,
your paper should demonstrate the ability to construct a
deductively valid or inductively strong argument, clearly and
accurately explain your reasoning, use high-quality academic
sources to support the premises of your argument, fairly and
honestly evaluate contrary arguments and objections, and
identify fallacies and biases that occur within the arguments or
objections presented.
You will continue to build on the arguments that you are
presented in your previous two papers. In particular,, you will
present a final improved version of your argument for your
thesis that you begin for the Week One Assignment and fully
address the objection that you developed for your Week Three
Assignment. You will need to research a minimum of three
scholarly sources from the Ashford University Library. (For
further information about discovering and including scholarly
research, take a look at the [email protected] Tutorial
instructional resource.)
Write: in your paper
· Explain the topic you are addressing and your position on it.
Provide a preview of your paper and a statement of your thesis
in your opening paragraph. [Approximately 100 words]
· For help crafting a good thesis statement, go to the Ashford
Writing Center.
· Present your main argument for your thesis in standard form,
with each premise and the conclusion on a separate line. Clearly
indicate whether your argument is intended to be inductive or
deductive. Follow up the presentation of your argument by
clarifying the meaning of any premises that could use some
explanation. [About 150 words]
· If your argument is deductive, then it should be valid (in the
strict logical sense of the word); if it is inductive, then it should
be strong. Make sure to avoid committing logical fallacies
11. within your argument (e.g., begging the question). Additionally,
the premises should be true, to the best of your knowledge. If
one of your premises has a pretty obvious counter-example, then
you should either fix the argument so that it does not have this
flaw, or later, in your paper (steps three through five) you
should address the apparent counter-example (showing that it
does not really refute the truth of your premise). Arguments that
are not valid, not very strong, commit fallacies, or that have
counter-examples that are not adequately addressed will not
receive full credit.
· Provide supporting evidence for the premises of your
argument. [Approximately 350 words]
· Pay special attention to those premises that could be seen as
controversial. Evidence may include academic research sources,
supporting arguments (arguments whose conclusions are
premises of the main argument), or other ways of demonstrating
the truth of those premises. This section should include at least
one scholarly research source.
· Explain a strong objection to your argument. [Approximately
250 words]
· Study what people on the other side of this question think
about your reasoning and present the best possible objection
that someone could have to your argument. Do not commit the
straw man fallacy here. Reference at least one scholarlyresearch
source. See the “Practicing Effective Criticism” section of
Chapter 9 of the course text for more information.
· Defend your argument against the objection. [Approximately
200 words]
· Once you have presented the objection, indicate clearly how
you might respond to it. It is acceptable to admit that reasonable
people might disagree with you or that there might be an area in
which your argument could be further strengthened, but you
should do your best to explain why your argument is sound or
cogent despite the objections.
· Provide an appropriate conclusion. [Approximately 75 words]
· For guidance about how to develop a conclusion see the
12. Introductions and Conclusion resource from the Ashford
Writing Center.
