Read FirstChoose one of the following two assignments to complete this week. Do not do both assignments. Identify your assignment choice in the title of your submission.Option #1: Weathering, Erosion, and Deposition (Oh, My!) For this essay, consider how the forces of weathering, erosion, and deposition shape landscapes around the world. Be sure to explain clearly and in your own words the differences between these three processes. Include abundant examples of each process, considering its impacts on specific landscapes in particular places on Earth. Include at least three photographs (one for each of the three) to illustrate your discussion. Be sure to use APA format to document their sources.Your paper should meet the following requirements:2-3 pages in length (not counting title page, reference page, and visuals)3-4 credible outside sourcesFormatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements (Links to an external site.) It is strongly recommended that you submit all assignments to the TurnItIn Originality Check prior to submitting the assignment to your instructor for grading. If you are uncertain how to submit an assignment to TurnItIn, please review the TurnItIn Originality Check student guide for step-by-step instructions.Option #2: Freeze or Burn: The Shaping of Glaciated Landscapes and Deserts For this paper, select either glaciated environments or deserts. Consider, in depth and with abundant examples, exactly how that kind of landscape has been modified over time by the forces of erosion, deposition, and weathering. Provide specific examples from different places on Earth. Include a minimum of three different photos in your essay; use APA format to document their sources.Your paper should meet the following requirements:2-3 pages in length (not counting title page, reference page, and visuals)3-4 credible outside sourcesFormatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements (Links to an external site.)

(1) Imagine you are a philosopher who works within biology. Like Laplane et al., you want your work to have an impact within biology. With this in mind, do the following: (a) Select one of the fields following fields of philosophy: aesthetics, metaphysics, or epistemology. Tell us your choice, and explain why you believe this field has an impact on biology. (b) Now, imagine that you are interested in applying your philosophical field of interest to genome editing. Identify ONE example of how your philosophical field of interest could be applied to genome editing. Briefly explain how this example relates to your philosophical field of interest. For this example, you cannot copy what was mentioned in the lectures. Use your imagination and think about genome editing using the questions of these philosophical fields that we outlined in Module 2, Lecture 1. (2) Now, imagine that you are an epistemologist who is interested in genome editing. Do the following: (a) Identify whether you are an Empiricist or a Rationalist. Explain why you have chosen this epistemological framework. Your explanation should include some of the basic details of your chosen framework that we outlined in Module 2, Lecture 1. NOTES: You do not need to do outside research for this discussion. ALL of the information you need can be found in the lectures and Laplane et al. (2019). Be creative!
