A linear combination that describes an appropriately antisymmetrized multi-electron wavefunction for any desired orbital configuration is easy to construct for a two-electron system. However, interesting chemical systems usually contain more than two electrons. For these multi-electron systems, a relatively simple scheme for constructing an antisymmetric wavefunction from a product of one-electron functions is to write the wavefunction in the form of a determinant. John Slater introduced this idea so the determinant is called a Slater determinant. The Slater determinant for the two-electron wavefunction of helium is (3.9.27)|ψ(r1,r2)⟩=12|ϕ1s(1)α(1)ϕ1s(1)β(1)ϕ1s(2)α(2)ϕ1s(2)β(2)| We can introduce a shorthand notation for the arbitrary spin-orbital (3.9.28)ϕiα(r)=ϕiα or (3.9.29)ϕiβ(r)=ϕiβ as determined by the ms quantum number. A shorthand notation for the determinant in Equation 3.9.27 is then (3.9.30)|ψ(r1,r2)⟩=2−12Det|ϕ1sα(r1)ϕ1sβ(r2)| The determinant is written so the electron coordinate changes in going from one row to the next, and the spin orbital changes in going from one column to the next. The advantage of having this recipe is clear if you try to construct an antisymmetric wavefunction that describes the orbital configuration for uranium! Note that the normalization constant is (N!)−12 for N electrons. The generalized Slater determinant for a multi-electron atom with N electrons is then
Should probably add discussion of how this does not give the wavefunctions above for excited state He, if do not use linear combinations to make sure that all spin-spatial combinations are included
istening also has implications for our personal lives and relationships. We shouldn’t underestimate the power of listening to make someone else feel better and to open our perceptual field to new sources of information. Empathetic listening can help us expand our self and social awareness by learning from other people’s experiences and by helping us take on different perspectives.
I know from personal experience that when people actually listen, it's really helpful for me because I feel like I'm being validated and I feel seen.
For example, you might pose the following paraphrase and question pair: “It seems like you believe you were treated unfairly. Is that right?”
I know therapists use paraphrasing a lot to make sure they're getting the right information, and to make sure that it's clear, I know paraphrasing is also a great way to put things into perspective for people. I will talk with my mom and she's really good at paraphrasing things for me to clear things up.
You can also ask clarifying questions to get more information.
Clarifying questions are important especially when you work as a team. You can't clear things up if there's no question for the clarification.
We send verbal and nonverbal feedback while another person is talking and after they are done. Back-channel cues are the verbal and nonverbal signals we send while someone is talking and can consist of verbal cues like “uh-huh,” “oh,” and “right,” and/or nonverbal cues like direct eye contact, head nods, and leaning forward. Back-channel cues are generally a form of positive feedback that indicates others are actively listening. People also send cues intentionally and unintentionally that indicate they aren’t listening. If another person is looking away, fidgeting, texting, or turned away, we will likely interpret those responses negatively.
Some people who have certain neurodivergences can have issues recognizing the need for feedback during the listening stages of a conversation, I know I personally struggle with this often.

Bach soon wanted to leave for another offered court musician position, and his request to be released was not received well. This difficulty attests to the work relations of court musicians and their employers. Dukes expected and demanded loyalty from their court musician employees. Because musicians were looked up- on somewhat as court property, the duke of the court often felt betrayed when a court musician wanted to leave. Upon hearing of Bach’s desire to leave and work for another court for the prince of Cöthen, the Duke at Weimer refused to accept Bach’s resignation and threw Bach into jail for almost a month for submitting his dismissal request before relenting and letting Bach go to the Cöthen court.
Went to jail because he wanted to resign.
and we can calculate pOH for a weak acid
This formula is similar to the pH formula of a weak acid given its H+ concentration. This likely means due to the logarithmic nature that a hypothetical titration curve could be plotted with similarly its H+ concentration to that of its OH- concentration (logarithmic relationship).
So we can define the percent ionization of a weak acid as (16.3.36)%I=[A−][HA]i(100)
This formula will tell you the amount of A- Ions in solution, note that this formula is for a monoprotic weak acid (less it also applies to di+)?
We will now look at weak acids and bases, which do not completely dissociate, and use equilibrium constants to calculate equilibrium concentrations.
noting this down that equilibrium constants is a variant for this.
That is, they are stable in water and do not react with water to form the original acid or base.

Why would nobody try and help it?
scholars are increasingly pointing to the problems men face in a society that promotes male domination and traditional standards of masculinity such as assertiveness, competitiveness, and toughness (Kimmel & Messner, 2010). Socialization into masculinity is thought to underlie many of the emotional problems men experience, which stem from a combination of their emotional inexpressiveness and reluctance to admit to, and seek help for, various personal problems (Wong & Rochlen, 2005).
This The ideology that men have to be extra [assertive, competitive and tough, Is heavily embedded into black culture I would say a lot of it comes from past times to wear a black man. Survival depended on his strength..
Men can usually walk anywhere they want or go into any bar they want without having to worry about being raped or sexually harassed. Susan Griffin was able to write “I have never been free of the fear of rape” because she was a woman; it is no exaggeration to say that few men could write the same thing and mean it. Although some men are sexually harassed, most men can work at any job they want without having to worry about sexual harassment. Men can walk down the street without having strangers make crude remarks about their looks, dress, and sexual behavior. Men can ride the subway system in large cities without having strangers grope them, flash them, or rub their bodies against them. Men can apply for most jobs without worrying about being rejected because of their gender, or, if hired, not being promoted because of their gender. We could go on with many other examples, but the fact remains that in a patriarchal society, men automatically have advantages just because they are men, even if race/ethnicity, social class, and sexual orientation affect the degree to which they are able to enjoy these advantages.
These benefits of being a male in society may seem pretty insignificant, but they are very important. A huge one that sold out to me was being able to take public transportation like subway Bart, even Uber without the fear of somehow someway, being violated or harassed or course into doing anything unwanted.
Structural explanations for rape emphasize the power differences between women and men similar to those outlined earlier for sexual harassment. In societies that are male dominated, rape and other violence against women is a likely outcome, as they allow men to demonstrate and maintain their power over women. Supporting this view, studies of preindustrial societies and of the fifty states of the United States find that rape is more common in societies where women have less economic and political power
It’s not surprise to me personally that male dominated places or countries have higher counts of sexual harassment towards women and rape against women. However, I wonder in women dominated the countries and places is there as high of a sexual assault problem against men? Are men also more likely to be sexually assaulted, harassing or raped in women dominated countries or societies?
Sociological explanations of rape fall into cultural and structural categories similar to those presented earlier for sexual harassment. Various “rape myths” in our culture support the absurd notion that women somehow enjoy being raped, want to be raped, or are “asking for it”
The ideology that women are asking for an Unwanted action, movement or attack is very harmful. And unfortunately, Has been or for some cases still currently is a way of thinking for many.
rape. According to the NCVS, 188,380 rapes and sexual assaults occurred in 2010 (Truman, 2011). Other research indicates that up to one-third of US women will experience a rape or sexual assault, including attempts, at least once in their lives (Barkan, 2012). A study of a random sample of 420 Toronto women involving intensive interviews yielded an even higher figure: Two-thirds said they had experienced at least one rape or sexual assault, including attempts. The researchers, Melanie Randall and Lori Haskell (1995, p. 22), concluded that “it is more common than not for a woman to have an experience of sexual assault during their lifetime.” Studies of college students also find a high amount of rape and sexual assault. About 20–30 percent of women students in anonymous surveys report being raped or sexually assaulted (including attempts), usually by a male student they knew beforehand (Fisher, Cullen, & Turner, 2000; Gross, Winslett, Roberts, & Gohm, 2006). Thus at a campus of 10,000 students of whom 5,000 are women, about 1,000–1,500 women will be raped or sexually assaulted over a period of four years, or about 10 per week in a four-year academic calendar.
There’s clearly an astronomical extent of sexual assault and rape happening towards women. As a woman myself I find it very understandable that the majority of cases go on reported
patriarchy (male domination) lies at the root of women’s oppression and that women are oppressed even in noncapitalist societies.
Definition of patriarchy, Defined from medical feminism.
Women and people of color are both said, for biological and/or cultural reasons, to lack certain qualities for success in today’s world.
Also the term of intersexuality which was specifically created for black women to face sexism and racism. Which encourage the idea that because they were black and a woman that was the only identity that could be reorganized. there was no in between. they cannot be black and woman. They had to be a black woman.
sexism refers to a belief in traditional gender role stereotypes and in the inherent inequality between men and women.
The idea that women cannot do certain things because of our biological factors and gender. Usually Promoting the idea of inferiority to the opposite sex/gender.
Feminism refers to the belief that women and men should have equal opportunities in economic, political, and social life,
Essentially equal opportunities to work equal opportunities to advancement equals in political work, life, and social environments.
Socialization is the process whereby individuals learn the culture of their society. Several agents of socialization exist, including the family, peers, schools, the mass media, and religion, and all these institutions help to socialize people into their gender roles and also help them develop their gender identity
So Someone who grew up in a Community that discussed gender identity and fluidity in gender would be be more open to not sticking to the preset, gender identities?
Femininity refers to the cultural expectations we have of girls and women, while masculinity refers to the expectations we have of boys and men.
Definition of femininity and masculinity. Essentially explained the differences in how society expects women or girls to behave and present themselves, as well as masculinity, refers to the expectations society has on boys and men
then gender is a social concept. It refers to the social and cultural differences a society assigns to people based on their (biological) sex. A related concept, gender roles, refers to a society’s expectations of people’s behavior and attitudes based on whether they are females or males.
Definition of gender explained, gender as a social concept. In sociology one I got a nice overview of how a Gender, social concepts, or gender roles have been grouped and linked to individuals.
Sex refers to the anatomical and other biological differences between females and males that are determined at the moment of conception and develop in the womb and throughout childhood and adolescence.
Definition of sex. Sex is strictly biological factors that explains the differences between male and female. strictly focused on biology and chromosomes.

a polarity on the bond which can be described in terms of percent ionic character.
Electron density
One region, the binding region, depicts locations at which the electron exerts a net binding effect on the new nuclei. Outside of this, in the antibinding region, the electron will actually work against binding.
Bonding and antibonding electrons are denoted by their tendency to occupy a physical space that creates a repulsive effect between the electron and the hybridized orbitals, i.e. perpendicular or in larger molecules, areas that "push some functional groups or atoms away from the center of the molecule." This means that electrons must be considered as one piece of the electromagnetic binding forces. For practical purposes, understanding molecular geometry, hybridization, and resonance will help to comprehend the reactive properties of chemicals.
polymeric chains of covalently-bound CuCl2 molecules
As opposed to extended solid state ionic compound, which does not really form "molecules."
The PBS series, Tending The Wild, reveals the environmental knowledge of Native people across California and explores how they have actively shaped and tended the land for millennia, developing a deep understanding of plant and animal life. This documentary series reveals the balance between nature and how traditional practices can inspire a new generation of Californians to live sustainably within their environment.
It sounds like Native Americans were some of the original proponents of sustainability. That seems like more of a buzzword these days as many organizations, hotels, restaurants, etc. talk about saving water, recycling paper or reducing carbon footprints. It seems many tribes only used resources from the earth when absolutely necessary and even then they used as much of the animal or resource as possible, discarding as a little as possible.
Indigenous ways of knowing refers to the way of knowing that a band or tribe of people accumulates over generations of living in and experiencing a specific environment, resulting in them making sense of their world. Indigenous ways of knowing inform decision-making about fundamental aspects of day-to-day life.
This explanation of "Indigenous ways of knowing" is helped by the real-life example offered from one of the several hundred tribes present in the United States. Being able to explain the origin story of your people seems to be a common thread across humanity. Indigenous ways of knowing also seems to connect past, present, and future in ways that protect the people, plants, animals and planet from destruction.
A place-based learning approach recognizes meanings and stories in the land, and celebrates the connection to Indigenous ways of knowing and being. Environmental history and Indigenous experience are intricately linked and carry a cultural responsibility to the land and the people. Learning about the relationship with place as family, is important and should not be separated
this statement was very good to me because I remember in a class discussion where we discussed about the indigenous people and the settler coming into the land to possess it. It made me very anger how they tricked the indigenous people and stole their land and culture. Destroying their peace and comfort to bring in diseases and tramua.
Each nation has their own creation story telling of the way things came to be: plants, animals, water, rivers, lakes, rain, the earth, mountains, valleys, wind, fire, stars and people. Not only do these stories tell us about ourselves and our creation, but they reveal how everything is related, connected, and intertwined. Important information is passed down generation after generation in stories. For example, there is the Karuk story about how fire came to the people; and the Iktomi (the spider) trickster stories among the Lakota that teach us about how Iktomi lives in each of us when we trick others and laugh about it. We also understand that it is not fun being the one who is tricked and through this we learn humility and to laugh at our response to being tricked in the first place. These stories teach us about how things came to be and how they still continue to affect us every day.
after reading this paragraph, it remains me of how important it is to continue to past down history and traditions in our history. Not letting other people give you, their history., but true history from your own legacy. Stories of folk tales are always beautiful to me.
Student activism focused attention on the inequity evident in the low enrollment and success rates of Black, Chicano, Asian American and American Indian students on college campuses as well as the lack of coverage of these core groups within the college curriculum.
I'm glad that the movement for Ethnic Studies (and Native American Studies within it) was inclusive to groups that are often overlooked or underrepresented. The horrors of colonization should be discussed in the context of history. The goal moving forward should be to acknowledge this harm and continue trying to make things right especially when treaties are still being broken, the horrors of the missions are barely being revealed, and the Indigenous are still trying to guard the sanctity of the earth from fracking and pollution.
It is imperative that faculty, staff, administrators and students at your college know whose tribal land you occupy to recognize local tribal sovereign rights to the land in order to begin the work to decolonize your campus and community.
I work in a college environment. I make a point to request a land acknowledgement at the beginning of events and meetings and that we are intentional on any harm we might perpetrate against the humans who originally occupied the land, the animals and plans that occupy the land, and the land itself.
All presidents have lived in the White House. (Major premise) George Washington was president. (Minor premise) George Washington lived in the White House. (Conclusion)
My philosophy class touched on this last unit, we talked about how you can have arguments that have no logical meaning, but are sound or unsound.
Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices: secretaries, business men and women, military and federal workers, moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge—huge structures collapsing have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America.
Terrorist attacks usually aim to strike fear, and cause destruction and pain, and they succeed in the pain and destruction, but generally they fail when it comes to causing fear. They solidify the country and cause patriotism and strength to blossom despite tragedy.
establishing credibility is even more important, as audience members may be quick to discount or discredit someone who doesn’t appear prepared or doesn’t present well-researched and supported information.
Credibility can be shown in different ways, for instance, if I were to walk into a speaking room, with misshapen clothing and crazy hair, it already discounts my credibility nonverbally.
Choose a topic that is current. Not current. People should use seat belts. Current. People should not text while driving. Choose a topic that is controversial. Not controversial. People should recycle. Controversial. Recycling should be mandatory by law. Choose a topic that meaningfully impacts society. Not as impactful. Superman is the best superhero. Impactful. Colleges and universities should adopt zero-tolerance bullying policies. Write a thesis statement that is clearly argumentative and states your stance. Unclear thesis. Homeschooling is common in the United States. Clear, argumentative thesis with stance. Homeschooling does not provide the same benefits of traditional education and should be strictly monitored and limited.
Choosing a topic that has already been discussed, is obvious, or is only impactful for a small group is difficult to persuade because the audience won't stay interested. Also, not on topic, but as someone who was previously homeschooled, it gave me more opportunities to grow than any public school would.
warrant
I hadn't previously connected a persuasive arguments warrant to this kind of warrant, but it makes a lot of sense, a "warrant for an arrest" is a reason for an arrest.
Even if the person arguing is hypocritical, they may still be making a sound argument.
The argument assumes that hypocrisy only raises suspicion and not refutation. We may wonder whether hypocrisy sometimes directly undermines credibility.
But it's popularity does not prove its validity.
The author is saying the assumption that popularity equals truth, then dismantles it. The argument is based on the idea that popularity never proves validity, but this is not entirely true.
An appeal to a shared identity that is not really shared or an appeal to a shared value that the writer does not really hold is certainly a breach of trust.
The argument assumes that audiences will always notice when appeals to shared identity are insincere.
Here are three questions to ask about the legitimacy of any appeal to trust: Does the attempt to get the reader to trust suggest an idea that is not logical or not true?
This piece clearly articulates the case that not all appeals to trust are legitimate.It gives readers three guiding questions.
Identifying the use or function of an object, item, or idea is also a short way of defining. We may think we already know the use and function of most of the things we interact with regularly.
The text says that defining through synonyms, antonyms, and etymology helps audiences better understand concepts. I connected this to how English teachers often explain new vocabulary by using familiar words or their origins. Learning that “assassin” came from “hashish-eater” makes the concept more memorable than just a dictionary definition. This shows how history and language can make information stick with an audience.
Television chefs are excellent examples of speakers who frequently inform through demonstration. While many of them make the process of speaking while cooking look effortless, it took much practice over many years to make viewers think it is effortless.
The section about informing through demonstration made me think of YouTube tutorials. The book mentions that TV chefs multitask by cooking and explaining, which is very similar to how online creators show and narrate at the same time. It’s a reminder that good demonstrations require careful planning, not just knowledge of the steps. If I were to do a demo speech, I’d probably practice a lot so I don’t lose my audience.
Avoiding information overload requires a speaker to be a good translator of information. To be a good translator, you can compare an unfamiliar concept with something familiar, give examples from real life, connect your information to current events or popular culture, or supplement supporting material like statistics with related translations of that information.
The text warns that speakers sometimes overwhelm audiences by giving too much detail. This connects to my own experience in classes where professors overload PowerPoint slides with data—it’s hard to follow along, and I end up tuning out. The book suggests aiming slightly below the audience’s knowledge level, which makes sense because people don’t mind review, but they do mind confusion. This is a good takeaway for planning any presentation.
Aside from finding credible and objective sources, informative speakers also need to take time to find engaging information. This is where sharp research skills are needed to cut through all the typical information that comes up in the research process to find novel information.
The section about “novel information” stood out because it says audiences get more engaged when they hear something unexpected. This makes sense because I usually pay attention more in class when a teacher shares surprising trivia instead of repeating things I already know. It’s a reminder that even a simple topic can be made interesting with the right research. For my own speeches, I should aim to find unique angles instead of just the obvious facts.
Informative speeches about processes provide a step-by-step account of a procedure or natural occurrence. Speakers may walk an audience through, or demonstrate, a series of actions that take place to complete a procedure, such as making homemade cheese. Speakers can also present information about naturally occurring processes like cell division or fermentation.
The text explains that informative speeches can be categorized into various types, including objects, people, events, processes, concepts, and issues. This reminds me of how TED Talks cover these same categories but make them relatable through storytelling. I think this shows that choosing a category isn’t just about the topic, but about how it can connect to the audience. Picking the right category makes it easier to organize and engage people.

And although they are considered "minor", this is not to say that these problems are not potentially very uncomfortable.
I have seen many instances where women that are in pain and are looking for treatment are often thought to be just overreacting. The word "minor" is listed here in reference to side effects, but it is acknowledged that the effects can be uncomfortable. I feel that pregnancy is a beautiful thing, but in many cases, it is miserable and painful process. I am not sure if I am looking into this sentence too much, or if the word "minor" was placed here due to a repeating pattern of women not taken seriously about their pain or discomfort levels.
A teenage mother is at a greater risk for having pregnancy complications including anemia, and high blood pressure. These risks are even greater for those under age 15
If a teenager happens to go through pregnancy, it's important to support the individual through the process. Pregnancy on a younger person is already very difficult, and many health and safety risks are at hand. Having social services and accessible healthcare is very important for the individual in order to support them in the best way possible.

Applying: I have been able to apply what I learn in Art of the Film and Academic writing to each other because they are both english classes and often require the same type of thought and understanding. Analyzing: I have had to use this for this class when doing my weekly discussions and this past week to get my textual analysis essay done for academic writing. Evaluating: I have had to evaluate my grades on the quiz in geology to be able to learn from them and what I have to study for more. Creating: I have created flashcards to help study for classes that require a lot of memorization and academic writing when writing my essays.
Critics acknowledge the importance of English but allege that this movement smacks of anti-immigrant prejudice and would help destroy ethnic subcultures. In 2009, voters in Nashville, Tennessee, rejected a proposal that would have made English the city’s official language and required all city workers to speak in English rather than their native language (R. Brown, 2009).Brown, R. (2009, January 24). Nashville voters reject a proposal for English-only. The New York Times, p. A12.

“pig love.”

During this time, they often have sex with younger boys, and this homosexuality is approved by their culture.
? I've never heard of this and this is very culturally shocking and I know theres no way this would happen in other places.
symbols
✔️ I learned about symbols in high schools and how prominent they are in life. For example you think of an idea and lightbulb will come to mind as the symbol.
Culture was defined earlier as the symbols, language, beliefs, values, and artifacts that are part of any society.
Culture isnt just stuff we use, Its also the ideas and meanings behind them.

Many norms differ dramatically from one culture to the next. Some of the best evidence for cultural variation in norms comes from the study of sexual behavior (Edgerton, 1976).Edgerton, R. (1976). Deviance: A cross-cultural perspective. Menlo Park, CA: Cummings. Among the Pokot of East Africa, for example, women are expected to enjoy sex, while among the Gusii a few hundred miles away, women who enjoy sex are considered deviant. In Inis Beag, a small island off the coast of Ireland, sex is considered embarrassing and even disgusting; men feel that intercourse drains their strength, while women consider it a burden. Even nudity is considered terrible, and people on Inis Beag keep their clothes on while they bathe. The situation is quite different in Mangaia, a small island in the South Pacific. Here sex is considered very enjoyable, and it is the major subject of songs and stories.

It is not easy to overcome cultural differences and prejudices, and studies also find that interracial college roommates often have to face many difficulties in overcoming the cultural differences and prejudices that existed before they started living together (Shook & Fazio, 2008).Shook, N. J., & Fazio, R. H. (2008). Roommate relationships: A comparison of interracial and same-race living situations. Group Processes & Intergroup Relations, 11, 425–437. Yet the body of work supporting contact theory suggests that efforts that increase social interaction among people from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds in the long run will reduce racial and ethnic tensions.

Language, of course, can be spoken or written. One of the most important developments in the evolution of society was the creation of written language. Some of the preindustrial societies that anthropologists have studied have written language, while others do not, and in the remaining societies the “written” language consists mainly of pictures, not words.

culture is different
The last element of culture is the artifacts, or material objects, that constitute a society’s material culture.
💬 It is interesting because it shifts our attention from abstract ideas like values, norms, and language to the tangible things that people create and use. It reminds us that culture isn’t just about what people believe or say, it’s also about what they build, wear, carry, and live with. Artifacts are the physical evidence of a society’s way of life. They show how people solve problems, express identity, and adapt to their environment. For example, A smartphone isn’t just a tool that reflects values like connectivity, efficiency, and even status.
artifacts are much more numerous and complex in industrial societies. Because of technological advances during the past two decades, many such societies today may be said to have a wireless culture, as smartphones, netbooks and laptops, and GPS devices now dominate so much of modern life.

Humans have a capacity for language that no other animal species possesses. Our capacity for language in turn helps make our complex culture possible. In the United States, some people consider a common language so important that they advocate making English the official language of certain cities or states or even the whole country and banning bilingual education in the public schools (Ray, 2007).Ray, S.

Yes, Indians don't held cows like other animals they have there like cows.
In India, cows also act as an essential source of fertilizer, to the tune of 700 million tons of manure annually, about half of which is used for fertilizer and the other half of which is used as fuel for cooking.
I never knew that's as one their way to use cows

That's a very good question
shows that the percentage saying that women should take care of running their homes and leave running the country to men declined from almost 36% in the early 1970s to only about 15% in 1998, again, when the GSS stopped asking the question. These two figures depict declining racial and gender prejudice in the United States during the past quarter-century.
Women need to understand their role in society and the world
However, the sheer number of unsafe, illegal abortions over the next several decades helped fuel a demand for repeal of abortion laws that in turn helped lead to the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973 that generally legalized abortion during the first two trimesters.
That's one of the most horrific problems we have in America today

As Peter L. Berger (1963, pp. 23–24) notes in his classic book Invitation to Sociology, “The first wisdom of sociology is this—things are not what they seem.” Social reality, he says, has “many layers of meaning,” and a goal of sociology is to help us discover these multiple meanings. He continues, “People who like to avoid shocking discoveries, who prefer to believe that society is just what they were taught in Sunday School…should stay away from sociology.”
sociology defies what we already know but more-so deepens what we can know.
If that bit of common sense(lessness) were still with us, many of the women reading this book would not be in college.
common sense is morally also a collective opinion not necessarily true.
If you relied on your personal experience to understand the typical American marriage, you would conclude that most marriages were as good as your parents’ marriage, which, unfortunately, also is not true. Many other examples could be cited here, but the basic point should be clear: although personal experience is better than nothing, it often offers only a very limited understanding of social reality other than our own.
our view are not always true through personal experience because it is not always true.
The original argument does not mention any of these exceptions.
It is important to include counterarguments or acknowledge other "exceptions" so that your audience knows that you are aware that there are exceptions.
Often, a particular claim or reason may sound plausible, but we need to slow down and ask if it is true in all cases.
It is easy to assume a claim is true and accurate when reading, but it is important to fully understand the concept to make sure that it actually is plausible. Just because it is written in a text doesn't mean that there won't be weak spots.
