influenza epidemic inspired author John M. Barry to write about the importance of uncertainty in science and research. In his piece‚ The Great Influenza‚ Barry endeavors to reveal to both researchers and men of modern science that science is not a domain in which one can rely on the comfort and strength of certainty. Rather‚ it is a domain that is reserved for the courageous and one in which the “weakness” of uncertainty must be embraced. To stress this point‚ John M. Barry rationally employs rhetorical

Dealing With Uncertainties of the Past “Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief‚ regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.” -Swami Sivananda. In the poem Itinerary‚ speaker Eamon Grennan demonstrates the ways in which individuals deal with the uncertainties of the past. The past has the ability to influence an individual to either move on despite the uncertainties and worries of the unknown‚ or to not move on at all. However

These two decisions and the net pay off would be influenced by two key uncertainties viz. whether a) we would get the lease or not (now in question due to the lawsuit)‚ and‚ b) after development if we would be able to generate enough popularity for the resort to reap additional returns. In case the decision on the lease

nothing certain but uncertainty. But let’s go into details. The term "risk" has two radically different meanings. It applies in the first place to a world governed entirely by the laws of probability‚ in which everything is measurable and calculable. But the word is also commonly used to refer to non-quantitative uncertainties‚ to "risks that cannot be known." When I speak about "risk society‚" it is in this latter sense of manufactured uncertainties. These "true" uncertainties‚ enforced by rapid

found this to be a good argument and it caught my interest because I have never taken this into consideration before. There are many things that people do even though they are uncertain of them. Religion is another example of how we can act on uncertainty. We are certain that tomorrow may never be seen‚ but we cannot be certain that God does not exist. Even though we are uncertain that we will see tomorrow‚ we still work for it. With religion‚ there is an
