was it appropriate of President Biden to have two Marines in the background when he gave his speech?Are there other recent incidents in which a President used the military as backdrop to an important policy announcement or campaign-style speech?

Read the two attached articles “POTUS and Marines” and “WOTR Open Letter CivMil”Write an opinion paper.Read both the attached articles. In your opinion, was it appropriate of President Biden to have two Marines in the background when he gave his speech?Are there other recent incidents in which a President used the military as backdrop to an important policy announcement or campaign-style speech? Consider these additional questions (you do not have to answer them, but think about them as you write and address them if appropriate for your response): Are there other recent incidents in which a President used the military as backdrop to an important policy announcement or campaign-style speech? Is it ever appropriate to have the military involved in Presidential speeches? Does the President, as commander-in-chief, always the right to have the military around him or her during their speeches? Is it feasible for a President to pick and choose when the military is present for certain speeches, but not for others?

Does your opinion change when on reporting in different contexts? Why or why not?

Discussion: Logistic Regression ValuesImportant Note: This week contains a graded Discussion and an ungraded Collaboration Lab.This week’s readings discuss conditional probabilities, conditional odds, logits, odds ratios, relative risk, and slopes. These can all be confusing terms but the good news is that all these values have some relationship to each other. Researchers have their own opinions on which values makes the most sense to report.In a 2- to 3-paragraph post, construct a persuasive argument for the value (conditional probability, odds, odds ratio, etc.) that, intuitively, makes the most sense for you to report as a result to your audience. Be sure to provide a specific rationale for your choice.Respond to a colleague’s post who has selected a different value. Describe whether or not your colleague’s post swayed your point of view. Does your opinion change when on reporting in different contexts? Why or why not?

Examine central tendency and variability based on two separate variables. You will also explore the implications for positive social change based on the results of the data

Discussion: Central Tendency and VariabilityUnderstanding descriptive statistics and their variability is a fundamental aspect of statistical analysis. On their own, descriptive statistics tell us how frequently an observation occurs, what is considered “average”, and how far data in our sample deviate from being “average.” With descriptive statistics, we are able to provide a summary of characteristics from both large and small datasets. In addition to the valuable information they provide on their own, measures of central tendency and variability become important components in many of the statistical tests that we will cover. Therefore, we can think about central tendency and variability as the cornerstone to the quantitative structure we are building.For this Discussion, you will examine central tendency and variability based on two separate variables. You will also explore the implications for positive social change based on the results of the data.To prepare for this Discussion:

A newspaper story in Knight Ridder Newspapers described an experiment in an article with the headline “Doctor Dogs Diagnose Cancer by Sniffing It Out.”PromptExplain what the following sentence means. “The researchers blinded both the dog handlers and the experimental observers to the identity of the breath samples.”

ContextA newspaper story in Knight Ridder Newspapers described an experiment in an article with the headline “Doctor Dogs Diagnose Cancer by Sniffing It Out.”In the experiment researchers trained dogs to identify people with breast or lung cancer. The dogs were trained to lay down if they detected cancer in a breath sample. After the training, dogs sniffed different breath samples of people with and without cancer. Impartial observers watched the dogs and decided when the dog identified a person as having cancer. Researchers then revealed the condition of the person who gave the breath sample and determined if the dog had correctly identified the presence of cancer.The newspaper states, “The researchers blinded both the dog handlers and the experimental observers to the identity of the breath samples.”PromptExplain what the following sentence means. “The researchers blinded both the dog handlers and the experimental observers to the identity of the breath samples.”

Using the principles of Opportunity Cost and Rational Decision Making, explain why (or why not) drivers might be willing to pay up to $30 to save 30 minutes of travel time during the rush hour. 

Opportunity cost of your resource is defined as “the value associated with the next best use of that resource (which you must give up).” Decisions you make should reflect your opportunity cost, and not just your out-of-pocket costs. For example, if you decide to spend two hours of your time watching TV, the opportunity cost of your time is the value associated with its next best use (either studying or sleeping).
When the I-395 Express Lanes first opened in November 2019, the toll was expected to reach up to $30 for drivers in the Northbound lanes to travel a distance of only 8 miles during the morning rush hour.

According to Chapter 1 in Bell’s “Translation and Translating: Theory and Practice” and in your opinion, what is a good translation?

Answer the following questions:According to Chapter 1 in Bell’s “Translation and Translating: Theory and Practice” and in your opinion, what is a good translation? (The answer is in a paragraph form and contains the student’s opinion + some supporting evidence from the chapter.)Based on Chapter 2 in Bell’s “Translation and Translating: Theory and Practice”, discuss how a bilingual is not a translator and provide examples through each stage of analyzing a text (syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic analysis). (The answer shows the difference between a bilingual and a translator through examples from the three stages of text analysis.)After completing Chapter 3 in Bell’s “Translation and Translating: Theory and Practice”, what is the best approach to describe and explain word-meaning in your opinion? (The answer is in a paragraph form and contains the student’s opinion + some supporting evidence from the chapter.)

In the journal article “The poverty effect of democratization” by Christoph Dörffel and Andreas Freytag.1. What is the research topic of the paper?2. What is the research question of the paper?3. What is the dependent variable?

For this assignment, we will refer to the peer-reviewed In the journal article “The poverty effect of democratization” by Christoph Dörffel and Andreas Freytag.1. What is the research topic of the paper?2. What is the research question of the paper?3. What is the dependent variable?4. What is the independent variable?5. How many countries are in their sample? 6. What is the time period under analysis?7. What is the authors’ source for poverty data?8. List three sources of previous literature cited in the literature review.9. Table 1 on p. 7 has a table of descriptive statistics. We’ll talk more about these soon, but for now: which has more observations in the sample used by the researchers, democracies or non-democracies?10. The abstract provides a short overview of the research. According to the abstract, what are the findings of the research?   

What is the fallacy of Straw Man? How is it different than simply disagreeing with someone else’s point of view?

What is the fallacy of Straw Man? How is it different than simply disagreeing with someone else’s point of view?Use the material in Vaughn’s book to help you give a detailed explanation of what the mistake in a Straw Man is. To demonstrate your understanding and to teach the idea to the rest of the class, provide a relevant real-life example of the logical mistake. (You MAY use an outside source to help you present your example; be sure to summarize or paraphrase, cite, and use announcing verbs.) Choose carefully – consider whether your example does a good job of illustrating a Straw Man. Compare it to similar fallacies, and show why your example is a Straw Man rather than another fallacy like an Appeal to the Person. The discussion of your example should be detailed so that readers can evaluate the fallacy. Argue the case for why your example is an example of Straw Man.
