Slippery Slope Argument Phil 103 19 April 2006 When one argues against an idea or action‚ one form often used is called the slippery slope argument. In a slippery slope argument‚ one takes a consequentialist view on the action in question‚ then extrapolates the further outcome sometimes based on evidence‚ sometimes not. For example‚ I might argue that my teacher should not eat chocolate ice cream‚ because of two reasons: Eating chocolate ice cream stimulates pleasure centers in the brain

Slope Stability In this laboratory project‚ I practiced analyzing highway embankment using GeoStudio 2012. A highway embankment is built in order to avoid the change in level. In this model‚ the embankment was constructed on a layer of soft clay and I needed to use GeoStudio 2012 to determine the location of the critical slip surface and the factor of safety. There are basically eight steps to analyze a new model using GeoStudio 2012. First is to start a new project‚ then‚ set the analysis options

project is about how careers are using math in everyday life. My project is on slopes and I decided to do a pilot. Slope is a line that is a number that describes both the direction and the steepness of the line‚ slope is usually denoted by the letter m. I picked a pilot because it seemed the most interesting to me. I’m going to be explaining how‚ what‚ when‚ and where pilots use sloping and other skills. Pilots use slope to determine where to land and when to put the wheels down. Being a pilot is

singular assessment about how police corruption originates and each holds its own right in police work. The slippery slope in law enforcement is a moral career hypothesis. Where corruption begins with apparently harmless well intentional practices and leads over time. This can happen with individuals or a department in any situation. Basically the slippery slope is what people call crimes for profit. Rationalization

Empirical Formula Lab Class: Chemistry 1405 Fall 2013 Aim: The aim of this Lab Exercise is to use the mass of a chemical and use that mass to find the amount of moles of the final product you can get using the empirical formula. Introduction: The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest whole-number ratio of the elements in the compound‚ which as you will discover‚ is a ratio of the moles of those elements. “Empirical” also means “experimentally determined”.
