      Takeaways from this chapter are:<br /> Authoritative parenting (warmth + rules) is the ideal approach for healthy child development. Parenthood is a journey with evolving stages, requiring parents to adapt their roles as their child grows. Abuse and neglect create toxic stress that can permanently disrupt a child’s brain development and emotional health.

    2. let

      I was raised under the Athletic coach parenting style, I grew up with structured rules that were always paired with clear explanations. I felt comfortable questioning or even negotiating terms. My parents likely adopted this approach because they were raised the same way and valued the results it produced in their own lives.

    1. Talking heads of the time argued that poetry and literature were a waste of time, or "fake news" as some might call it today.

      An interesting insight on how what we view as insightful and philosophical was once seen as a "waste of time" and "fake news"

    1. Norms are social conventions that we pick up on through observation, practice, and trial and error. We may not even know we are breaking a social norm until we notice people looking at us strangely or someone corrects or teases us.

      I can relate this to my knowledge I gained from my sociology class. Social norms are things that we are taught throughout our life through society. As we start to follow these norms we may also forget some of the other ones. We use peoples body language to tell us if we are following the norms when we are out in public.

    2. When you become aware of how communication functions, you can think more deliberately through your communication encounters, which can help you better prepare for future communication and learn from your previous communication.

      When I gain knowledge on a subject it allows me to be better. I believe the same thing can be said with communication. If we learn the different ways to communicate we can learn how to use them to our advantage. The more knowledge we obtain on communication the better it will help us understand and have more meaningful conversations.

    3. If you use an abbreviation the receiver doesn’t know or the phone autocorrects to something completely different than you meant, then semantic noise has interfered with the message transmission

      I relate to this because my keyboard does this all the time. When I want to get a message through really fast my phone often autocorrects to a different word. It makes the message I was trying to send not make sense at all. One autocorrect mistake can ruin the whole message. I also didn’t know this had a specific word to it so it’s very interesting learning about these different meanings.

    4. if a speaker sends a clear message, noise may interfere with a message being accurately received and decoded

      Noise is a huge part of communicating weather it’s good or bad. If the noise is good and it can be seen as bad even if the message is as clear as it can be. I think it’s often misunderstood especially when you’re in a big crowd. When there’s a big crowd everyone is talking over each other and the message never gets received correctly or the message will just never get to the other person

    5. As we are socialized into our various communities, we learn rules and implicitly pick up on norms for communicating. Some common rules that influence social contexts include don’t lie to people, don’t interrupt people, don’t pass people in line, greet people when they greet you, thank people when they pay you a compliment, and so on. Parents and teachers often explicitly convey these rules to their children or students. Rules may be stated over and over, and there may be punishment for not following them.

      In communities we have different sets of rules. Someone raised in Idaho won't necessarily have the same rules as someone raised in New York. This might effect the communication between the two parties. If we have different rules when it comes to communication the message might be received differently.

    6. Psychological context includes the mental and emotional factors in a communication encounter. Stress, anxiety, and emotions are just some examples of psychological influences that can affect our communication

      When I communicate my stress and anxiety can play a huge part. If I am overly stressed about something my communication becomes short and annoyed. Also when my emotions are heightened I become more reactive. If I am happy my communication is more upbeat and flowing

    7. Other people talking in a crowded diner could interfere with your ability to transmit a message and have it successfully decoded.

      I can relate this to myself when others try to get a message to me, the receiver. Often times I have a really hard time hearing people when there is a lot going on around me. This "noise" prevents me from receiving the message that the transmitter was wanting me to hear. It can get frustrating sometimes because people have to repeat their message multiple times before I can finally receive their message.

    1. For example, we found in a 2017 study with colleagues that from 1970 to 2010 metropolitan areas with greater concentrations of immigrants, legal and undocumented combined, have less property crime than areas with fewer immigrants, on average.

      this kind of simmers down trumps statement about who/what these immigrants are identity wise.

    2. President Donald Trump. In the second and final presidential debate, Trump again claimed undocumented immigrants are rapists and murderers.

      I want to know the reasoning behind this statement in detail .It is quite a demoralizing thing to say about just a specific group of people.

    3. Undocumented immigrants may actually make American communities safer – not more dangerous – new study finds

      A good hook to grab the readers attention, gives a gist of what they'll be reading.

    4. more often improved by their presence than harmed by it. Immigrants bring social, cultural and economic activity to the places they live.

      I belive this snetnce is true, however I wish that they gave evidnec to what resrach provves that with statistics.

    5. Undocumented immigration does not increase the violent crime rate in U.S. metropolitan areas

      This is the main idea- starting off strong this enrey will grab the readers attention quick.

    6. This notion has existed and been studied since the early 20th century, including in a 2005 analysis we conducted with a number of colleagues that concluded immigration did not increase crime rates in U.S. metropolitan areas.

      Wow that's a long time. I am puzzled as to why according to this research our president made pretty false claims.

    7. we found that as the size of the undocumented population increases, the property crime rate decreases, on average.

      I find this to be an interesting research, at the end of the day we are all people and documented or not I don't think that hurts things.

    8. President Donald Trump. In the second and final presidential debate, Trump again claimed undocumented immigrants are rapists and murderers.

      This in my opinion is very bias statement which is the very thing we have strived to recognize and do better about. Very dehumanizing in a sense.

    9. These findings build on the conclusions of a large 2018 study in which researchers Graham Ousey and Charis Kubrin examined 51 studies on immigration and crime published from 1994 to 2014.

      While this study may have been created in 2018, it is important to note that most, if not all, of this information could be outdated, as it says the most recent information is from 2014, over eleven years ago.

    10. Using two different estimates of the undocumented immigrant populations for 154 metropolitan areas in our most recent study

      It seems that they were very thorough in their data taking; 154 is a lot of places to get averages for.

    11. In statistical models that did identify a significant relationship between undocumented immigration and crime, we found undocumented immigration reduces property crimes, such as burglary.

      While it states that the presence of more undocumented migrants reduces property crime, it makes no mention of other types of crime. I find this confusing, as there are many other types of crime, and statistics could show a completely different picture in those areas.

    12. Research shows that the American communities where immigrants make their homes are more often improved by their presence than harmed by it. Immigrants bring social, cultural and economic activity to the places they live. That makes these places more vital and safer, not more dangerous

      I just like this, I may have to research more on this myself.

    1. Public communication becomes mass communication when it is transmitted to many people through print or electronic media. Print media such as newspapers and magazines continue to be an important channel for mass communication, although they have suffered much in the past decade due in part to the rise of electronic media.

      In present times I think that mass communication has become the most common form of communication. Multiple times a day we have people who repost something to communicate a message to their friends and viewers. We don't even realize we are communicating with our friends and family through the things we post. However we do, when we post an image we always have a "vibe" or message we want the viewers to grasp.

    2. Some scholars speculate that humans’ first words were onomatopoetic. You may remember from your English classes that onomatopoeia refers to words that sound like that to which they refer—words like boing, drip, gurgle, swoosh, and whack. Just think about how a prehistoric human could have communicated a lot using these words and hand gestures. He or she could use gurgle to alert others to the presence of water or swoosh and whack to recount what happened on a hunt. In any case, this primitive ability to communicate provided an evolutionary advantage. Those humans who could talk were able to cooperate, share information, make better tools, impress mates, or warn others of danger, which led them to have more offspring who were also more predisposed to communicate (Poe, 2011). This eventually led to the development of a “Talking Culture” during the “Talking Era.” During this 150,000 year period of human existence, ranging from 180,000 BCE to 3500 BCE, talking was the only medium of communication, aside from gestures, that humans had (Poe, 2011).

      I think even today we often revert back to using hand gestures and different sounds to refer to certain things when conversing with others. To make the story come to life almost the listener can almost visualize the story you are telling. I think it is cool to read about how talking started originally for humans. It would be interesting to go back in time and try to communicate the way humans originally did. Going back before we had full conversations and understood the meaning of words and what they all truly meant.

    3. process of generating meaning by sending and receiving verbal and nonverbal symbols and signs that are influenced by multiple contexts

      Book definition

    1. The two years of life are ones of dramatic growth and change. A newborn, with a keen sense of hearing but very poor vision,

      This Is very true a lot of newborns are very good with listening and I've read before that them listening is a way their vocabulary increases because a lot of the words at birth until them are very familiar to them and easier to use and understand.

    1. Review the learning objectives on page 1 of this lab. How would you rate your understanding or ability for each learning objective? Write one sentence that addresses each learning objective.

      By reviewing the objectives, I am more confident about a lot of lessons in this session however I need to learn more about the equinox and solstice more in the future.

    2. Search O*NET OnLine to find an occupation that is relevant to the topics presented in today's lab.

Apply What You Learned: Does this diagram represent the March equinox, June solstice, September equinox, or December solstice? Explain your response in one sentence.

      A-Tropic of Capricorn B-Arctic circle and Antarctic circle

    4. Use Your Critical Thinking Skills: Now that you have determined the declination of the Sun and daylength for February 16th, May 16th, August 16th, and November 16th, what connection can you make between the declination of the Sun and daylength for these dates? Explain your response in one to two sentences

      In the summer, as the sun is closer to the earth(because the earth axis is 23.5degrees tilted ), the daylight will stay longer.

    5. Use Your Critical Thinking Skills: How could farming and other food services be impacted at latitudes with significantly less daylength throughout the year? Explain your response in at least one sentence.

      I imagine Farmers use greenhouse with specified lighting to mimic the sunlight in order to grow their plants. Also, countries in the least amount of daylength, can import some necessary plants or goods.

    6. Use Your Critical Thinking Skills: If you lived on or near the equator, do you think it would be valuable for you to use renewable energy (solar and wind) versus nonrenewable energy (gas and oil)? Why or why not? Explain your response in at least one sentence.

      Yes, for sure! Living in the equator has great opportunities for me. having solar panels in the roof of my house can satisfy the energy that I want to keep my house warm in the winter, provide electricity, hot water, etc. gas or oil are not clean energies. Also those will not be available forever.so it’s better to switch to renewable energies as soon as we can to help our planet breath.

    7. What is the most important idea that you learned in this lab? In two to three sentences, explain the concept and why it is important to know.

      In this lab I learned about how the solar system works and how we are dependent on the sun. I also now can explain why we have different seasons, why the daylength changes, and how the little tilt on the earth position has helped us to survive.

    8. What is one question that you have about what you learned in this lab? Write your question along with one to two sentences explaining why you think your question is important to ask.

      My question will be: what are the other renewable energies in the world that we have never found?

Apply What You Learned: Based on what you have learned so far, explain how daylength would vary for your city. Explain your response in two to three sentences.

      a:I live in nashville which is located in 36.16 N which is very close to Tokyo in the table b:In my city daylength varies in different seasons. In the summer daylength is longer and in opposite in the winter it is very short.

    10. What was the most challenging part of this lab? In two to three sentences, explain why it was challenging. If nothing challenged you in the lab, write about what you think challenged your classmates.

      The most challenging part was to use the SA equation analemma to calculate the sun’s declination.

    11. How does what you learned in this lab relate to your everyday life? In two to three sentences, explain a concept that you learned in this lab and how it relates to your day-to-day actions.

      I can now find out why I have to wake up early in winter and leave early from work since the days are shorter..

    12. Use the analemma (Figure 3.9) to determine the Sun’s declination on the following days of the year. Tip: use a ruler or piece of paper to align the date to the vertical axis. January 1: February 16: May 16: July 4: August 16: November 16: Write your birthdate and the Sun’s declination on that date: Which solstice or equinox occurs closest to your birthdate?

      G-April 17 H- March equinox

    13. Refer to your completed Figures 3.11 through 3.14. Which latitude has the highest angle of incidence year-round? Which latitude has the lowest angle of incidence year-round? In one sentence, describe how the angles of incidence change throughout the year for the Tropic of Cancer. Apply What You Learned: When would the radiation intensity be highest for the Arctic Circle?

      A-Equator B-arctic and Antarctic C-Tropic of cancer follows a year cycle from 90 degrees which is from directly overhead to December solstice and it goes back again. D-during summer.

    14. Apply What You Learned: Imagine that you want to install a solar panel at your latitude. At what angle(s) would you orientate the solar panel in order to maximize the amount of radiation that is received? Would you install the solar panels in a stationary position, or would you allow for the solar panels to move throughout the year? Explain your response in two to three sentences. Tip: estimate the angle of incidence at your latitude based on the data provided in Table 3.1. Hint: it may be easiest to sketch the surface of the Earth, your solar panel, and the estimated angle of incidence in order to respond to these questions.

      I would definitely install it the way that sunlight hits the most on the surface which is 90 degrees. I would not install it stationary because I want it to use the maximum of energy the whole time that the sun is in the sky.

    15. Use the information from Table 3.2 and draw the Sun in its correct place in the sky for each of the following four dates: April 8th, July 17th, October 31st, and December 7th. Use Figure 3.16 as a model for your diagrams and write captions with the same information shown in Figure 3.16. April 8th: July 17th: October 31st: December 7th:

      A: Top B: Right C: Bottom D: Bottom

    16. Refer to Table 3.3. Use Your Critical Thinking Skills: Why does Table 3.3 have a specific location for 60°N but no location for 60°S? Hint: look at a globe, an atlas, or Google Earth! Use Your Critical Thinking Skills: If a specific location had been provided for 60°S, would daylength at that location be similar to the daylength for 60°N? Explain why or why not in one to two sentences. Other than the poles, which of the eight locations has the greatest variation in daylength throughout the year? Explain why in one to two sentences. Tip: for each location, subtract the largest daylength number from the smallest to find the variation in daylength at that latitude. Other than the equator, which of the eight locations has the least variation in daylength throughout the year? Explain why in one to two sentences. Canberra and Tokyo are both located at a general latitude of 35°, however, their daylengths are different from each other on each of the four dates. Explain why in one to two sentences. On which date(s) does Palmas have a longer daylength than the equator? What are the seasons of these dates for Palmas? Does the equator have seasons? Why or why not?

      a: the globe shows the South Pole plus ocean. No specific land exist in that area. b: no they have different daylength due to planet earth tilt. c: based on the numbers in the table of eight locations, greatest variation in daylength is white horse, Canada 60 degrees north due to the earth position to the sun. d: according to the table, Quito, Equador 10 degrees south has the east daylength variation. e: as I mentioned in the previous answers, the position of the earth to the sun makes the daylength to be different. f: February 16 and November 16 Palmas has longer daylength. Fall and Winter. g:No, beacause the equator always remain in the center.

    17. Refer to Figure 3.10. Does the flashlight on the left or right represent a 90° angle of incidence? (Hint: a 90° angle of incidence is also known as a direct ray or a perpendicular ray.) Does the higher or lower angle of incidence result in the flashlight’s energy being distributed over a wider area?

      A-No B-yes

    18. Refer to Figure 3.8. Study the position of the Earth in relation to the Sun in order to answer the following questions: What solstice is represented in this diagram? How can you tell? Which hemisphere is experiencing winter? Is daylength longer or shorter in the Southern Hemisphere? What latitude is the vertical ray striking? What parallel is the vertical ray striking? What type of ray is striking the equator? What type of ray is striking the Antarctic Circle?

      A-Winter because the north pole is in the shadow. B-northern hemisphere C-longer D-23.5 s E-23.5 s F-OR G-TR

    19. Use Your Critical Thinking Skills: According to your answers for 8 and 9, does distance between the Earth and the Sun determine the seasons of the year? Why or why not? Explain your response in at least one sentence.

      The distance of sun an earth aid same the difference is the angle of the earth which creates the north hemisphere and south hemisphere have different seasons.

    20. Using the terms listed below (i and ii), label the correct equinoxes and solstices that occur during this annual revolution on the top line and the season for the northern hemisphere on the bottom line. March equinox, June solstice, September equinox, December solstice

      Top: March equinox spring. Right: June solstice summer Bottom:September equinox fall Left:December solstice winter

    21. Label the approximate point in the elliptical revolution when the perihelion and aphelion occur.

      Perihelion is near December solstice or northern hemisphere winter. Aphelion is near June solstice or northern hemisphere summer.

    22. Identify the seven special parallels of Earth and their latitude. Write each special parallel along with its degree latitude on the correct line on the diagram of the Earth (Figure 3.6). Use the following parallels and degrees:

      From top to bottom:

      1-North Pole 90 degrees N 2-Arctic circle 66.5 degrees N 3-Tropic of cancer 23.5 degrees N 4-Equator 0 degree 5-Tropic of Capricorn 23.5 degrees S 6-Antarctic circle 66.5 degrees S 7-South pole 90 degrees S

    23. On January 16th:

      A: Winter B: day length is short C: sun sets early, Leaves have fallen, shadows are taller than other seasons because of the earth position to the sun according to figure 3.2 D: Ice skating, Snowboarding, making snowman

    24. On August 16th:

      A: Summer B: Daylength is longer than other seasons according to earth revolution in Figure 3.2 C:1.what season am I in 2. When the sun sets 3.how Tall my shadow looks like when I’m in front of the sun while it is setting. D: Sports that happens “mostly” in the summer such as kayaking, playing golf, swimming, etc.

    25. Earth revolves around the Sun every 365.25 days, which we consider to be one year. This orbit is not a perfect circle as we might imagine; it is actually an elliptical orbit (Figure 3.2). In one revolution, Earth travels approximately 940 million kilometers (584 million miles)! Because Earth is traveling in an elliptical orbit, it is closer to the Sun on or around January 3 (known as perihelion) than it is on or around July 4 (known as aphelion). At perihelion, Earth is 147.5 million kilometers (approximately 91 million miles) from the Sun and at aphelion Earth is 152.6 million kilometers

      Question 6.

    1. scientific investigation is that of following a set of procedures designed to keep questioning or skepticism alive while describing, explaining, or testing any phenomenon.

      Scientific knowledge changes as new evidence appears.

    1. Sherry Baker and David L. Martinson developed a tool called the TARES test

      A tool built for what purpose? for the ability to establish robust principles for ethics and a more ethical approach to persuasion.

    2. Ultimately, understanding ethics requires balancing all three parts of the ethical pyramid. When unsure about a behavior's ethicality, consider: Is there general consensus that it's ethical? Does it adhere to relevant codes of ethics? Would you be comfortable if the outcomes were reversed and applied to you? This framework, rooted in ancient philosophical discussions, provides a guide for responsible communication.

      INTENT, MEANS, AND ENDS

    1. when a sender presents a true, honest, logical and complete argument that includes presentation of other real choices, has no personal benefit in the result, and when the receiver understands the arguments and has unrestrained freedom of choice and ability to choose, and all of this happens within a context of unhurried respect and equality, then this situation could be said to be persuasive and ethically justified"

      Persuasion's definition in its fullest

    2. intention (the persuader aims to influence), a positive result (implying success), the audience's free choice, and the absence of threat or harm (Powers, p. 126).

      Intention, Positive Result, and a sense of free choice by the audience, and void of harm are all key points shared by each definition.

    3. nvolves one or more persons who are engaged in the activity of creating, reinforcing, modifying, or extinguishing beliefs, attitudes, intentions, motivations, and/or behaviors within the constraints of a given communication context

      Another definition

    4. You can visualize where your audience "sits" on an issue. Any movement toward your desired position is a win. Attempting to shift an audience from extreme disagreement to strong agreement in a single message is nearly impossible.

      Insights of thinking of persuasion as a scale of what the audience's perception on an idea. trying to tip the scale from one side.

    5. the process of creating, reinforcing, or changing people’s beliefs or actions

      Another definition from Dr. Lucas. Giving it more of a elegant feel, an artform rather than a normal action.

    6. Peithō (Πειθώ), carried a deeper, more nuanced meaning. Peithō referred not only to "Persuasion" or "Winning Eloquenc

      Greeks thought of it differently. More of a fancier idea. And was personified as a godess

    7. The word "persuasion" originates from the Latin persuadere, meaning "to strongly urge."

      Why does it originate from persuadere? probably because when youre persuading someone. Its a strong "Urge" to get them to think/feel/do something.

    8. rhetoric is the broad art of using language skillfully in speaking and writing

      definition of rhetoric. What is the difference between rhetoric and persuasion? Rhetoric is an art of fancy speak of some sort for the goal of persuasion. Persuasion of the outcome

    9. Examine the pervasive nature of persuasion in our everyday lives. Clarify the distinction between rhetoric and persuasion, terms often used interchangeably. Review scholarly definitions of persuasion Delve into O'Keefe's unique yet logical paradigm case model.

    1. Science is a process of knowing about the natural universe through observation and experiment. Scientists go through a rigorous process to determine new knowledge about the universe; this process is generally referred to as the scientific method. Science is broken down into various fields, of which chemistry is one. Science, including chemistry, is both qualitative and quantitative. /*<![CDATA[*/#mt-toc-container {display: none !important;}/*]]>*//*<![CDATA[*/ $(function() { if(!window['autoDefinitionList']){ window['autoDefinitionList'] = true; $('dl').find('dt').on('click', function() { $(this).next().toggle('350'); }); } });/*]]>*/ /*<![CDATA[*/window.addEventListener('load', function(){$('iframe').iFrameResize({warningTimeout:0, scrolling: 'omit'});})/*]]>*//*<![CDATA[*/ window.PageNum = "auto"; window.InitialOffset = "false"; window.PageName = "1.2: Chemistry as a Science"; /*]]>*/ /*<![CDATA[*/ //<!-- MathJax Config --> var front = window.PageNum.trim(); if(front=="auto"){ front = window.PageName.replace('\"', '\\\"').trim(); //front = "'..string.matchreplace(PageName,'\"','\\\"')..'".trim(); if(front.includes(":")){ front = front.split(":")[0].trim(); if(front.includes(".")){ front = front.split("."); front = front.map((int)=>int.includes("0")?parseInt(int,10):int).join("."); } front+="."; } else { front = ""; } } front = front.trim(); function loadMathJaxScript() { try { const script = document.createElement('script'); script.id = "mathjax-script"; script.src = "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@4/tex-mml-svg.js"; script.type = "text/javascript"; script.defer = true; document.head.appendChild(script); } catch (err) { console.error(err); } } document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', (e) => { loadMathJaxScript(); }); if (window.PageName !== 'Realtime MathJax'){ MathJax = { options: { ignoreHtmlClass: "tex2jax_ignore", processHtmlClass: "tex2jax_process", menuOptions: { settings: { zscale: "150%", zoom: "Double-Click", assistiveMml: true, // true to enable assitive MathML collapsible: false, // true to enable collapsible math }, }, }, output: { scale: 0.85, mtextInheritFont: false, displayOverflow: "linebreak", linebreaks: { width: "100%", }, }, startup: { pageReady: () => { if (window.activateBeeLine) { window.activateBeeLine(); } return MathJax.startup.defaultPageReady(); }, }, chtml: { matchFontHeight: true, }, tex: { tags: "all", tagformat: { number: (n) => { if (window.InitialOffset) { const offset = Number(window.InitialOffset); if(!offset) { return front + n; // If offset is falsy (nan, undefined, etc.) } const added = Number(n) + offset; return front + added; } else { return front + n; } }, }, macros: { eatSpaces: ['#1', 2, ['', ' ', '\\endSpaces']], PageIndex: ['{' + front.replace(/\./g, '{.}') + '\\eatSpaces#1 \\endSpaces}', 1], test: ["{" + front + "#1}", 1], mhchemrightleftharpoons: "{\\unicode{x21CC}\\,}", xrightleftharpoons: ['\\mhchemxrightleftharpoons[#1]{#2}', 2, ''] }, packages: { "[+]": [ "mhchem", "color", "cancel", "ams", "tagformat" ], }, }, loader: { '[tex]/mhchem': { ready() { const {MapHandler} = MathJax._.input.tex.MapHandler; const mhchem = MapHandler.getMap('mhchem-chars'); mhchem.lookup('mhchemrightarrow')._char = '\uE42D'; mhchem.lookup('mhchemleftarrow')._char = '\uE42C'; } }, load: [ "[tex]/mhchem", "[tex]/color", "[tex]/cancel", "[tex]/tagformat", ], }, }; }; //<!-- End MathJax Config -->/*]]>*/

    1. oxidation as: the loss of electrons. Reduction is defined as: the gain of electrons.

      Another way to identify what gains electrons and what loses electrons is looking at whether the compounds loses oxygen/gains hydrogen (in which case it would be reduced) or if it gains oxygen/loses hydrogen (in which case it would be oxidized). #ithink

    2. small E0’ on top and larger E0’ on the bottom) transfers of electrons from donors higher on the table to acceptors lower on the table will be spontaneous.

      So a positive change in reduction potential indicates a spontaneous reaction while a negative change in reduction potential indicates a non-spontaneous reaction. #important

    3. How do you describe or think about the difference between the concept of electronegativity and red/ox potential?

      Electronegativity is the strength an atom has to pull electrons towards itself in a bond while red/ox potential is the tendency for a compound/element to gain or lose electrons in a reaction. The main differences are that electronegativity refers to a specific atom/element while red/ox potential can refer to a compound and electronegativity deals with affinity to electrons in a bond while red/ox potential deals with affinity to electrons in a reaction. #ithink

    1. Mitochondria also possess a small genome that encodes genes whose functions are typically restricted to the mitochondrion.

      Mitochondria having its own genome supports the theory that they were once aerobic bacteria that got engulfed by a host cell. #ithink

    2. Microtubules help the cell resist compression, provide a track along which vesicles move through the cell, pull replicated chromosomes to opposite ends of a dividing cell,

      So microfilaments aid in cell movement, intermediate filaments aid in structural support, and microtubules aid in both cell movement and structural support. #ithink

    3. To solve this problem, those cells often have significantly more mitochondria than cells that do not require such a large constant energy supply.

      So cells are able to create more mitochondria according to energy needs? I thought that the number of mitochondria is dictated by the cell's DNA.

    1. A key basis of the sociological perspective is the concept that the individual and society are inseparable. It is impossible to study one without the other. Incorporating a sociological perspective reminds us that we are always participating in something larger than ourselves.

    2. It appears that the problem of the 21st century is still race. Yet, as intersectional scholar Kimberle Crenshaw explains, our frames should include an analysis of both gender and race to better understand the complexity of the human condition.
      • Intersectionality. That's what this is. And it's not "appears" it IS a problem. As a minority still am faced with this issue.
    1. Communication meets our relational needs by giving us a tool through which to develop, maintain, and end relationships. In order to develop a relationship, we may use nonverbal communication to assess whether someone is interested in talking to us or not, then use verbal communication to strike up a conversation. Then, through the mutual process of self-disclosure, a relationship forms over time.

      Without communication developing relationships and relationships would prove to be much harder. Communication gives us the tools to meet are relational needs. Without these tools we would find it much harder to form the bonds that we have. I think a lot of people can relate to the fact that relating is to someone is important.

    2. While we do learn from experience, until we learn specific vocabulary and develop foundational knowledge of communication concepts and theories, we do not have the tools needed to make sense of these experiences.

      When we are uninformed about a topic it is harder to learn further about it. With a communications course we may know how to communicate but don't necessarily have the information to fully describe it. I can relate this to myself because I feel I know how to communicate however, I do not have the proper vocabulary to describe it.

    1. The stages of the listening process are receiving, interpreting, recalling, evaluating, and responding.

      Receiving – Just hearing or seeing what the person is saying.

      Interpreting – Figuring out what they really mean.

      Recalling – Remembering the info later.

      Evaluating – Thinking if it makes sense or is true.

      Responding – Showing them you understood, like talking back or nodding.
