Part Two: Analytical Essay The appeal to tradition‚ also called argumentum ad antiquitatem‚ is a commonplace fallacy that posits that an idea is correct simply on the basis that it is similar to a past or present tradition. We see it everywhere: in government‚ in schools‚ in music‚ in the workplace‚ and even in sports. The book Moneyball by Michael Lewis is largely about this idea‚ where Lewis argues that even if something has been done traditionally for many years and worked‚ the traditional way

Madison Gaddy Lunar & Solar Eclipse Lunar Eclipse occurs when the earth comes between the sun and the moon in such a way that it blocks the sun’s rays completely from reaching the moon. Solar Eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the earth and the sun in such a way that the sun is totally blocked from view. Lunar Eclipse only occurs on the full moon night which means that the moon is on the other side of the earth from the sun. Solar eclipse always occurs on the new moon which means that

Argument Essay With the invention of new technologies‚ distracted driving has become a serious problem. When people text or talk on the phone while driving‚ they put not only themselves‚ but everyone else on the road at risk. Public Service Announcements can help reduce the number of distracted driving accidents by informing drivers of the potential dangers of not paying attention to the road. Some would argue that people don’t always pay attention to PSA’s or take them seriously. However‚ with several

of which the particular genes came from. From this process‚ they narrowed down the genes from about six million to three hundred thirty five genes that were likely to exist in LUCA. The probable genes make up LUCA and the life requirements‚ such as energy production‚ that are not coded in the genes are thought to be aided from the environment. The research is significant because LUCA is thought to be the most

Creatine enhances the body’s capacity to perform high intensity work‚ therefore improving the performance of the muscle to gain in size. He states that creatine phosphate (high energy molecule form‚ stored within cells) that is used to supply the type 11b muscle fibers which are the fast-twitch high glycolytic‚ to give energy right away. This actually helps the athlete perform and engage more forcefully since muscular contraction fibers are already being strengthened. In fact another article also states

Invented SPARKy‚ a prosthetic that works with the lower leg to help an amputee walk and more around. They said that around 20 to 30 percent more energy is needed to walk with SPARKy compared to a person walking with normal leg. SPARKy works by taking the energy the tendons get from a heel hitting the ground to help the springs within the leg work and keep moving (Snedden 11-12). Another artificial limb they came up with was the C-leg. The C-leg is battery

human-made element‚ also known as the most dangerous substance on earth. As a by-product of uranium fission‚ plutonium-239 is created by generating electricity from nuclear sources. Contrary to popular belief‚ nuclear energy is hazardous and threatening to health. The use of nuclear energy should be banned as evidenced by the number of accidents‚ health effects‚ and global impact. Countless nuclear power plant accidents have been occurring quite frequently since its invention. Some accidents have even

Our main source of energy has been the burning of fossil fuels‚ which is a nonrenewable source of energy. Fossil fuels will not last forever‚ once it’s gone what will we use? Out of desperately‚ many have suggested nuclear power. Nuclear fission create heat by introducing a uranium rod into water; this process causes a neutron to splits a uranium atom in half to create heat‚ which then heats up the water to turn a turbine. In result‚ the turning of the turbine creates energy. Nuclear power plants
