- Present an argument on an issue by stating your conclusion and identifying your premises.
- Identify three (3) premises of the argument in opposition to your conclusion, and describe your reactions to these premises, based on the believing questions suggested by Elbow, such as "What's interesting or helpful about the view? What would you notice if you believed this view? In what sense or under what conditions might this idea be true?"
- Identify three (3) premises of the argument in agreement with your conclusion, and explain your responses to the journalistic questions you asked in order to probe these premises, based on the doubting questions suggested by Elbow, such as the journalistic questions who, what, when, where, why, and how.
- Examine at least three (3) types of biases that you likely experienced when you read the premises on the Pro side of the argument and the premises on the Con side of the argument. (Note:Refer to the specific types of biases discussed in Chapter 2 of the Webtext.)
- Describe whether or not your position on the issue has changed. Indicate whether or not your premises supporting the issue have changed. Explain why or why not.

Machines Defying Archetypes Articles Summary
Changes occur constantly in all aspects of life; the changing perceptions of women you have explored in these lessons is just one example. For this assignment, you will closely examine another type of change and summarize an article on the topic.Choose one of these articles to read closely and summarize.“The Lumineers ride folk rock wave to Grammys”“‘Anything goes’ now in campaign financing?”“For 1st time since 1999, music revenues inch up”“Practically human: Can smart machines do your job?”“Games likely to follow Pentagon on women in combat”“Funny women flourish in female-written comedies”Follow the four-step process outlined in the lesson to closely examine the article. Use the Summarization Graphic Organizer for support.Step 1: Locate Key PointsStep 2: Organize the Key PointsStep 3: Determine Central IdeasStep 4: Summarize the ArticleIn a paragraph of eight to 10 sentences, write your complete summary of the article. Include the central ideas and the key points that support those ideas within the article. In the summary you submit, highlight the central ideas you've identified in bold and italicize the supporting evidence.

How does the attempt to control and codify plants and animals lead to eugenics?, homework help
Below are three paragraphs that I need help writing at least 100 word response to. I need at least 100 word response to each separate paragraph. Each paragraph was to answer this following question: "How does the attempt to control and codify plants and animals lead to eugenics? How are both of these views optimistic? Pessimistic?"1. The attempt to control and codify plants and animals is already happening. Most of the plants and animals we eat today have been bred from the best plants and animals. The plants and animals that look healthy are bred, we, as humans, want only the best and healthiest plants and animals meats in our diet. In the United States the majority of the food we eat comes from controlled “farms.” The plants we eat have been bred and rebred to grow the largest, juiciest, most radiant colored plants. For instance, grapes found in the grocery stores are much larger than what’s found in a vineyard that doesn’t use chemicals. (my uncle owns a vineyard that doesn’t use chemicals. My sister had no idea the little things hanging from the vines were actually grapes. She thought the ones in the grocery store were normal size). By controlling what we eat, the human population has increased, life spans are longer, people are living healthier, even with disease. Those that are able to afford the healthy, organic, well controlled foods are living healthy, full lives, and those that can not afford the healthy foods are becoming malnourished and are becoming disease stricken due to the lack of an important nutrient. The optimistic standpoint is, all of this science behind nutrition is helping us live longer, healthier lives. However, the pessimistic side is what are we losing by controlling and codifying the plants and animals? By controlling the plants and animals we are also seeing higher quantities of plants and animals but is the quality any better?2. We first need to understand what eugenics before trying to link it to something greater than it is. Eugenics refers to "the selection of desired heritable characteristics in a bid to improve future generations." Typically the term is used when referring to human genomes, but it doesn't always have to be human genomes. To codify simply means to put things in an orderly manner. Science has enabled humans to dissect plants, persons or animals and get rid of undesired traits and replace them with superior ones ("Science as Salvation: Weimar Eugenics, 1919–1933", 2017). From an optimistic side eliminating factors of bug infestation and drought or poor soil issues enables us to grow better quality crops. This will consequently help in reducing world hunger and other avoidable social issues worldwide. Human genes responsible for diseases such as cancer, blindness, cerebral palsy or deafness can also be removed and these problems reduced. This is a good idea, but the problem arises when scientists take this power to far. Like many other wonderful scientific breakthroughs, people attempt to monetize eugenics for their benefit. For example, Jack and Jane a couple get pregnant and are so happy about the possibility of getting a baby boy. The doctor tells them that he can make sure they get a baby boy by codifying their genes. He can also ensure the baby has blonde hair, blue eyes or even grow to seven feet. This, however, can only be done at a set price. A question, therefore, arises on where to draw the line in such cases. I don't think eugenic is a bad practice, its utilization, however, is the problem.3. The genetic modification and cultivation of plants and animals was directly leveraged as the scientific foundation for eugenics. Eugenics was conceptualized in 1863 by Sir Francis Galton as an optimistic theory that desirable traits, such as superior intelligence, were hereditary and advocated for selective breeding to target passing on desirable traits. The concept was correlated to the ability to” obtain by careful selection a permanent breed of dogs or horses gifted with peculiar powers.” The United States led the eugenics movement in the early 1900’s with the founding of the Eugenics Record Office (ERO) and other organizations and societies.This movement led to a more pessimistic view than Galton’s original efforts because the efforts were no longer seeking to increase the reproduction of desirable traits and instead focused on the elimination of negative traits.Sadly, the movement gained momentum and government support which resulted in the forced sterilization of over 64,000 people and the horrors of Nazi Germany (Bouche & Rivard, 2014).Interestingly, today’s scientific endeavors include concepts such as human cloning and gene therapy which, if allowed to get reach the same level as eugenics did, could have similarly devastating consequences.

Palomar College Undocumented Immigrants Discussion
Now that we have covered both Nation-Centered & State-Centered Federalism, let's apply it to immigration, the federal Trump Administration's expanded ICE policy of more indiscriminate search & deportation policy versus California and other states' "sanctuary" policies (this essentially means the state requiring state & local law enforcement agencies to NOT cooperate with ICE and NOT give them information and access to undocumented immigrants in jails and communities).(1) Argument 1: State & local law enforcement agencies must be required to cooperate and provide ICE with information. Federal law is the supreme law of the land and, accordingly, state laws and practices must be consistent with, and have the same purpose as the federal law/policy. What interpretation of federalism is this consistent with? Please provide the evidence from the Constitution, as covered in class.(2) Argument 2: States have every constitutional right to create "sanctuary" laws. Each state has the authority to create its own police powers. This means that each of the states has the power to create its own law enforcement priorities. If state & local law enforcement agencies feel that cooperating with ICE will have a chilling effect on immigrant communities, then these said communities will not cooperate with state & local agencies in solving the real threatening crimes that the state & local agencies have deemed top priority.What interpretation of federalism is this consistent with?
