made by leaders of the land. Different lands had different rules‚ many with different verdicts of justice. However‚ the contradiction of these laws lies not in the laws themselves‚ but in the sovereignty of their providers. Roman laws‚ the Code of Hammurabi‚ and the law of Exodus serve to contrast the cultural regulations dictated by men‚ dictated by a false God‚ and dictated by the true God.

How can Romeo and Juliet‚ a classic Shakespeare tragedy about two star-crossed lovers‚ even remotely have ties to Blink‚ a modern non-fiction book? Blink is about delving into how we make our snap-judgements; our decisions without thinking. Romeo and Juliet’s theme is we can make rash decisions with little information—life changing decisions. Romeo and Juliet’s story was made up of a series of snap-judgements. Even how they fell in love only knowing each other for minutes is one big snap-judgement

In the first three chapters of Expert Political Judgment: How good is it? How can we know?‚ the author‚ Philip E. Tetlock‚ attempts to determine what type of political judgment is good‚ and establish the difficulties in such assessments (Tetlock‚ 2005‚ p. 2‚ 19). Tetlock uses chapter one‚ “Quantifying the Unquantifiable‚” to ascertain that it is challenging to evaluate the judgments that experts make when methods that are used to determine the performance of experts fail to focus on how experts think

There are many mini-themes that go on through this movie. Some of the ones I picked up on are Roses’ cancer seems to be a continuing theme throughout the movie‚ as well as themes of loyalty and judgement. Rose’s mother died of cancer in the movie‚ and the neighbours have developed cancers as well. At the end of the movie Ginny thinks the causes of these cancers stem from the contaminated water system in Zebulon County. Even after the movie is over you find this theme still resonating in your mind
