After delving deeper into the study of heredity‚ Galton proposed a eugenic vision consisting of breeding “undesirable traits” out of the human race.

The emphasis

Chalmers‚ chapter 7:� The Limitations of Falsificationism Problems stemming from the logical situation (87) Recap: the �logical point� in favour of falsificationism over inductionism is that‚ while no finite number of observation sentences will prove a general claim‚ one single observation sentence will disprove it.� BUT: 1. 1.

The oxygen-hydrogen bonds in water are very polar. Because of the arrangement of the two bonds and two lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen‚ the molecule is bent. (The four sets of electrons are arranged in a tetrahedral arrangement. The angles between these sets of electrons are about 108 degrees) This bent shape makes water polar. Since it is polar (actually very polar) there are considerable intermolecular forces attracting the molecules of water together. The result of these forces is that
