PHIL202 2 Discussion Questions

DQ1

Kant’s duty-based ethics implies that stealing is always wrong. Using either the universal rules or respect for persons version of the categorical imperative, explain why stealing is always wrong. Do you think stealing is always wrong? Is there any situation where taking something that doesn’t belong to you without permission would be ethically okay to do? Explain.

DQ2

Kant believes that human beings have a kind of value that is incomparably greater than the sort of value that inanimate objects, plants, and non-human animals have. In other words, people, just because they are people, are more valuable than anything else. Using this idea, explain how a Kantian might think about one of the following: exploiting people for money or experimental research on animals. Do you agree with the Kantian view? Explain.

Discussion post based on a video

In this discussion board graded assignment, you will view a video depicting a “traditional society” such as hunter-gatherers or horticulturalists, and then discuss what kinds of archaeological signatures would result in the activities being depicted.

WHEN WATCHING THE VIDEO, THINK ABOUT THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

    1. What tools were being used during an activity?

    2. Which of these tools would we likely find in an archaeological site? For example, if people are using tools made of wood and wood does not typically preserve, then we would not likely find it at a site. Stone and metal don’t degrade easily, and bone preserves well in most cases.

    3. What kind of “features” did you see? Remember, archaeological features, unlike artifacts, are non-portable like fire pits, walls, and structures. As with artifacts, which ones do you think would we find in an archaeological site?

    4. What kind of spatial patterning did you observe during the activity? For example, where were people in relation to each other? How might this affect where artifacts and features are found in relation to one another?

    5. After considering the above questions, how confident are you that you could work backwards from the archaeological record to the behaviors that produced them? In other words, if you found the artifacts and features in a specific spatial configuration as you observe above, do you think they would have been produced by the same activity?

IN YOUR POST:

    • First, provide the title and a very brief synopsis (1 paragraph of a few sentences).
    • Using Questions 1-4 for an activity observed in the video, present a minimum of three hypotheses about what you would find at an archaeological site based on the ethnographic observations. Provide explanation as justification for how you formed your hypothesis. Hypotheses should be stated as an “If…then…” statement (or a similar variant). (1 paragraph)
    • Respond to Question 5. (1 paragraph)

AFTER POSTING:

    • Respond to at least one other student’s post in your group. In your response, be sure to offer both compliments and constructive criticism.

1. Consider again a joint probability distribution, this time of random variables x and y:
y\x 0 1 2 3 4
0 0.08 0.07 0.06 0.01 0.01
1 0.06 0.10 0.12 0.05 0.02

a. Obtain E(y|x) and plot it against x. (So, repeat what you did in Problem 1 in
HW 1)
b. Are x and y statistically independent? How do you know?
c. Obtain E(E(y|x)). Show that the law of iterated expectation (i.e., E(E(y|x))=E(y)) indeed holds

Post lab questions.

Complete the following five post lab questions.

Here are some mechanisms provided during the experiment.

C6H8O6 + I2 → C6H6O6 + 2 I + 2 H+

KIO3 + 5 KI + 6 H+ → 3 I2 + 6 K+ + 3 H2O

Questions:

1 The titration reaction in this experiment is between ascorbic acid and iodine, can we directly use iodine to prepare an iodine standard solution, then do the titration with the iodine solution? Why or why not?

2 Why is NaHCO3 added when preparing the KI solution.

3 Suppose a sample needs to consume 0.02m mol KIO3 to reach the endpoint, theoretically, the solution must have at least how much grams of KI?

4 A student is supposed to add 5 mL KI solution into the sample, but, due to a mistake, the student added 5.1 mL KI solution. Will the mistake affect the calculated concentration of ascorbic acid? If yes, higher or lower? Explain.

5 Describe in detail the steps of a quantitative transfer. In this experiment, you are required to weight your sample in a 50 mL beaker and quantitatively transfer and dilute it in a 10.00 mL volumetric flask. Be specific when describing the quantity of water used and the tools you will need.

NACLA current news article.

For this assignment, you are to read current news articles about Latin America from the website for the North American Congress of Latin America (NACLA) and submit three short reviews during the semester. Please submit one review per due date. Each review is to be at least 3-4 pages and each due date corresponds to a regional topic in Latin America. The due dates for these reports are September 25 and October 23.

Please use both a title page and a works cited page (neither of these pages count toward your 3-4 pages of text).

In your works cited page, compose your article entry in a format like this:

Nidia Bautista, “Justice for Lesvy: Indifference and Outrage in Response to Gender Violence in Mexico City,” NACLA Report on the Americas website (July 31, 2017).

In terms of the content of each report, I am looking for two main points of discussion. First, you should devote the first half of the report to a summary of the main points in the article that you selected. To help you to address this issue, consider some of these questions: What is the main issue being discussed? (i.e. immigration, elections, education, environment, women’s issues, crime, etc.) Who are the main personalities mentioned in the article? (i.e. Enrique Peña Nieto, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, President Trump, etc.) How does the issue affect the people of the country mentioned in the article? Does the issue have any connection with United States interests? What do you think could be the best solution to resolve this problem?

And for the second point of discussion, please analyze the article that you selected and present your point of view on the story. For example, how do you feel about the story? How did this article contribute to your understanding about modern Latin America? And what do you think about the author’s perspective on the article? How does this topic relate to contemporary political, economic or cultural themes in the United States today?

Here is a list of articles from the NACLA website pertaining to regions for the September 25 due date. Everybody, just pick any one article from this list for your September 25 review. You will repeat the same process for your review on a South American nation. These articles range in date from February 2019 to August 2020. For this list, I’m going in alphabetical order by nation:
