I agree because it shows that international human rights groups are clear about how harmful absolute abortion bans are. They push laws that protect women's rights and health, especially in serious situation like rape or health risk. The fact that CEDAW has directly told the country to change its law highlights how important these protections are and.Human rights can drive real legal progress.

It shows how international human rights laws like CEDW really influence countries to help improve our abortion access. Spain's law is a good example of how the following global standards can lead to more freedom and better production for rights for women. Recognizing the special challenges. It also shows how important these agreements are pushing for a positive change.

The data sample of Soulier et al. (36) was limited, in that it included only appellate cases and therefore did not include verdicts in state trial courts that are not appealed or cases settled before trial.

"Ultimately, we conclude that the courts converge on three themes of the duty to warn or protect: hold therapists liable only in obvious cases of negligence that result in harm to a victim; recognize when a state has a permissive statute, rather than an obligatory one; and do not hold therapists liable for violence that occurs well after the termination of therapy (37). We note that these narrow interpretations of therapist liability stand in contrast to earlier rulings that ignored the language of the statutes and interpreted broad liability, such as cases in which therapists were held liable for motor vehicle accidents that occurred months after termination of therapy"

"Mental health professionals were exonerated on the following bases: no imminent threat was communicated to a therapist about an identifiable victim; the victim was already aware of the danger; or the therapist warned the victim, but the victim took actions that went against the warning."

Tamara Lich’s imprisonment highlights how stakeholder power and legitimacy can shift when activism crosses into perceived disruption, challenging governance boundaries between civil liberty and public order. Her case underscores the need for leaders to manage high-salience stakeholders through dialogue and transparency before conflict escalates into legal or ethical crises.

This event illustrates how a single stakeholder group, when feeling unheard, can evolve into a powerful collective actor influencing national policy and public perception. It reminds leaders that in stakeholder management, silenced voices don’t disappear; they organize, and effective governance must engage early, transparently, and empathetically to prevent polarization.

This passage reveals how stakeholder influence can lead to bias when power and visibility overshadow ethical responsibility. The media, an essential stakeholder in any governance ecosystem, holds the power to shape narratives and public opinion; however, with that power comes a duty to uphold fairness, empathy, and transparency. When media discourse becomes punitive or moralizing, it silences legitimate concerns and narrows the scope of democratic dialogue. In stakeholder management, a balanced approach recognizes that even dissenting groups deserve representation and respect. Excluding or shaming them undermines both legitimacy and trust: two pillars of ethical governance. From my perspective, governance must never frame disagreement as defiance. Instead, it should protect freedom of choice and expression as part of the stakeholder landscape, ensuring that communication, even when tense, remains grounded in dignity and respect.

This passage touched me deeply because it reminds us that behind every policy are individuals with unique needs that can easily be overlooked. In stakeholder management, we often focus on groups with high power or urgency; however, this scenario reminds us that legitimacy and vulnerability also demand attention. Students with special needs are stakeholders whose voices are seldom heard directly; yet, the consequences of decisions profoundly affect them. Mitchell et al.’s salience theory encourages managers and leaders to evaluate who matters, and this must include those who may lack voice but not value. In governance, sensitivity toward small or marginalized groups is not an act of charity; it’s a matter of justice and ethical accountability. When decisions involve health, accessibility, or education, equity necessitates more nuanced solutions than one-size-fits-all approaches. Effective governance notices the quiet stakeholders, those whose well-being depends on thoughtful exemptions, flexibility, and empathy.

Reading this moment, I felt both the weight and vulnerability of leadership. When emotions take over reason, leaders must carry not only the decision but also the temperature of the room. Chair Evans’s calm firmness demonstrates how emotional intelligence can become a governance tool. It’s not about silencing opposition but protecting the integrity of the process. In any stakeholder environment, whether a public board or a community meeting, trust grows when leaders manage disagreement with empathy and restraint. I’ve seen how a composed tone, a deep breath, or even a respectful pause can shift an entire discussion. In crisis moments, the most effective authority is not control; it’s a steady presence.

From experience, I’ve learned that the goal of governance isn’t perfect agreement; it is a shared understanding. When people feel their perspective has been heard, they become more open to compromise. Even during polarized moments, creating structured space for every stakeholder builds trust that lasts long after the vote is done.

This small detail says a great deal about inclusion. Student voices were heard but not counted. In stakeholder terms, they had legitimacy but no power. I’ve seen similar imbalances, with younger or less experienced members being invited for diversity optics rather than genuine influence. Meaningful participation means ensuring that every voice has weight in shaping outcomes, not just being present in the room.

When governance collapses into shouting, it’s a sign that the process has lost legitimacy. I recall that, in our school’s committee, before reaching a consensus on the mask policy, we first agreed on the rules of discussion: respect, turn-taking, and focusing on shared goals (protecting students). Once stakeholders feel respected, they are more likely to listen. It’s never just about the decision; it’s about how it is made.

This passage captures a deep clash of epistemic worlds: lived experience versus data. As someone who worked on decisions where evidence confronted beliefs, I’ve learned that truth doesn’t speak for itself; it must be translated. Stakeholder management here means listening with empathy, not superiority. It’s not about who is right, but about how to rebuild trust across different forms of “knowing.”

Promises that stretch beyond their limits create long-term distrust. In any governance structure, whether a school, a regulatory body, or a government, credibility is fragile. Once people feel deceived, they stop listening, even when the science is solid. In stakeholder terms, legitimacy erodes faster than it can be rebuilt. I’ve seen how transparency, even about uncertainty, is the only way to maintain engagement in times of crisis.

It's striking how a simple public health tool turned into a symbol of identity. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I observed the same polarization within my kids' Catholic French school committee in Lebanon. Masks weren't just medical; they represented belief, trust, and even belonging. In moments like this, stakeholder management becomes emotional negotiation. It is crucial to understand that each position is rooted in fairness, religious beliefs, and personal values. I learned that leadership in polarized spaces isn't about convincing; it's about creating space for dialogue without judgment.

high-rank LoRA and FullFT have identical curves. Medium/low rank fall off when they hit capacity limits. This is the visual proof of the main claim.

contradicts common practice of attention-only LoRA!

Key practical finding, multiply by 10 when switching, at least until a better method is identified...

Rank 1 is enough for LoRA when doing RL! Huge computational benefit!

Not just matching metrics - behaviors match too further strengthening the claim that LoRA is as robust as Full

For 2. The fact that training efficiency is worse seems to indicate that we somehow keep on refining the combination of components that we encode to better fit the dataset, but still have the fundamental limitation of not enough directions. For 3, this is not quite understood or explained well, only the throwaway line regarding the product of matrices with no explanation

Rather than focusing on specific samples, this paper looks for generalizable patterns

The LR may be a product of the initialization more so than the inherent properties of the two methods.

Here remember the "bits" argument for before O(1) for RL, O(tokens) for SFT

This is the way to estimate information content of your dataset. ~1 bit/token for typical LLM data

The capacity predictions are still rough , would want a way to estimate the rank needed given dataaset and model sizes. Would want to better understand the LR to choose more than "10x the one for SFT" + How do you even find the one for SFT in the first place?

Even beyond the memory and adapter benefits, we have also computational benefits in training

This is the core of the paper, we have a mismatch between dataset size and model size whenever we do post training

@Valentin These forest plots are really hard to read, it's so dense without spacing. Let's work together on some ways of making it more informative.

I'm also puzzled as to why so many papers are shown only one type of rating and not the other. I know that some of our evaluators did not give ratings like this, and in some cases, we didn't even encourage it. But why is it missing for some of the llms? Did it just not have time to finish processing it?

Maybe it's a display issue? It seems that the papers that were rated highest in terms of these tiers by the human raters did not get rated by the LLMs. Or maybe it just didn't show up in the graph?

I really like this sentence because it shows one of the biggest flaws in utilitarian thinking—how easy it is to ignore people we don’t personally know. It reminds me that moral decisions often get biased when our data or attention is limited to our own social circle. In real life, this happens all the time online, when algorithms show us information that supports our own views and hide the perspectives of others.

this one hits close to my heart right now as I have just moved down here to eugene and it's the first time Ive really lived in another city. I have to meet new people and leave the old ones behind which is kinda bittersweet.

My theology teacher talked about this last year, he said the term was "lingua franca" which directly translates to the french language as the time when the phrase was created was the peak of the rench colonial empire. I feel so blessed to have been born an english speaker however it's also hindering me because I feel like it holds me back from learning a second language.

Someone who is a polyglot has the same motivation for learning one language as they do for all the languages they want to learn. I am not a polyglot and don't want to be one there's really only two languages I want to learn and that is Russian and Spanish. I don't have the same motivation for French and even for Russian as I do fro Spanish I really like Spanish.

I am saddened that this really exists. Even though on paper in 2025 we should be so far away from this we are still so deep in the bias and most of the time its unconcious.

I feel like basic learning of a language should use the should dos but once it gets more advanced its important to learn slang and blend in more with native speakers.

It will be a lot easier to learn a new language if it's a language you are quite interested in for sure. I am very interested in Spanish and I would want to learn it whereas Russian I think is cool but it isn't cool enough for me

Artificial intelligence can help make specific treatment plans for different disease. Such as for different types of cancers and the different stages the cancers have developed. Each disease and cancer has its own biological makers. Since they have their own biological makers, they can specific treatments based on these markers. This brings great patient outcomes and can bring better recover stats.

This article will show how important Ai has become in healthcare, especially in the diagnostic portion of patient care. Healthcare uses artificial intelligence technology to help with screenings, and treatment plans. This leaves less room for human error in treatment plans since AI would go through many factor that can affect treatment. Such as medication that they take, medical history, family disease history, allergies, and more. It will make patient outcome better and there would be less risk factor of treatment complication.

While there are many benefits to using AI, it also presents students with the opportunity to misuse it.

AI can protect patients from errors and negligence, promoting a safe healthcare environment.

AI can benefit patients by creating personalized healthcare plans based on their medical history.

It definitely does feel like something big in history is happening with AI being a very big and present thing. It feels like there’s about to be really big changes but in a good way that could have the potential of creating and adding to the healthcare.

This helps so much catch what the human eye maybe can’t at some times. It is such a big modernized equipment that can even help with health related things.

Regardless of the potential of AI in helathcare, there are also flaws in the technology as explained. Even though it can be efficient, it lacks creativity and ethical considerations.

AI could also help reduce unnecessary imaging by flagging when a scan might not even be needed, which lowers patient exposure. However, will doctors still have the final say or will this be too much of relying on AI that can make mistakes?

I agree with this benefit, but it makes me wonder if all patients have reliable internet access to actually use virtual consultations.

This article highlights the potential of AI in the healthcare field. The efficiency in diagnostic processes with accuracy.

This peer-to-peer aspect to innovations being essential is wonderful to me. It's really only innovative within a community of practice, without that the machine doesn't solve anything.

This commentary is just hanging out in the ether.

This is the key to all of this relationship around user innovation and companies! I think a lot of these methods are being used in purely extractive ways and we as consumers and innovators don't always notice. Those who do and speak up are usually ignored.

This one is interesting because of the advancements of AI in this particular field. Computers are now quite good at this, but they can still get things wrong and rely on humans to verify and validate. How does AI play in the area of user-driven innovation?

I've been on both sides of this! It's annoying when it happens to you, but also humbling when you finally recognize you've done it to someone else.

This is one of my favorite aspects of attending conferences and working with individuals and teams using products I'm working on who are pushing the edges of the capabilities and frustrated with the limitations. They understand their problems and how to solve them, but just don't have the right tools yet, so they make due with whatever they have. Those almost always indicate there are tons of others in the space with the same problems who just aren't yet able to articulate it clearly enough for a business to hear it and respond.

You'll want the Universal spools of 2" in diameter with 1/2" wide ribbon (in Nylon, Silk, or Cotton), but honestly, if you've got original metal spools on your machine, those usually work best, so spool your new ribbon from the cheap plastic spools onto your originals.

Equal opportunity is far more than just representation. Having people of color in positions of power means an empathetic lens on issues and solutions. Also, a byproduct of true equal opportunity is actually enacting change for reasons other than incentives or personal growth. It is about allowing voices of people of color to be heard and to create the change needed in the world.

This was thought provoking to say the least. When considering diversity at the workplace, I have learned to view cultural competency as a necessary standard. I struggle to wrap my head around not seeing the benefit of having people of color in leadership positions at organizations that serve that demographic.

It is so interesting to me that this information was identified because it shows the disparity between diversity, representation, and leadership. Is there an alternative reason to explain why 90 percent of these leaders of nonprofits are white-led? Are we looking at other incentives to lead this fact?

This shows that the text written should be visually appealing to the reader and writer

Conclusion #2

The Conclusion: Hypothesis is confirmed - reliable measurement found

Measures: Objective (MINT sprint 2.0) performed better than the self-reporting. The hypothesis is being supported by the outcome.

reasoning with the use of statistics #2

Reasoning with the use of statistics: being honest and transparent - good for the study

Objective tasks: they are all for different categories of letters, fluency, and lexical decision. This gives the researchers good construct validity.

Samples: Participants - limits generalizability because of convenience sampling.

Setting up the aim of the research: self-report vs. OPI - important going forward

Important constructs: links to cognitive theories on bilingualism

Hypothesis: Measures that are objective will give a result better than self-reports.

From a personal perspective ,as a user and content consumer, this article makes me question how much of what seems “popular” is genuinely . It also makes me want to scrutinize any claims of “viral reach” how many of those views were real?

In those W3School, it all include how to use lists, tuples, sets in python. I choose the sets one, which said that A set is a collection which is unordered, unchangeable*, and unindexed. And do not allow duplicate values. Which I learned in class is un-mutable. It can used with dictionary, and clean data in order to have no repeat data. One of the detail in this reference is You can also use len() to check how long is this set. In the set it can contain different data type like string, int or True or False.

This part got me thinking about how much invisible information we leave behind online. When I post a content, I usually only consider the image or video itself, not embedded details like the time, location, or device used. This metadata can easily be used to track or identify individuals, raising serious privacy and security concerns. So I am wondring if most social media users realize that deleting a post doesn't necessarily remove this hidden data.

Oh come ON

Yes. Particles behave as waves until observed in a manner that directly causes it to collapse.

Ngl les be fun. Everett view!

Quantum mechanics tip the debate to idealism, especially with concepts such as uncertainty and consciousness affecting reality. Quantum mechanics has a place for idealism.

Because the first measurement collapsed the wavefunction, so subsequent measurements will come to the same result in the case of a particle's eigenstate.

Like video game code, and what we see is the projection of the code

Pilot-wave theory. There is a wave that guides particles.

Why is knowing the specific position of particles so important to us? Because our eyes, what we see, is what is perceived as "real."

But only for that moment that is measured. Have they measured the same electron for another metric?

It's like our brain uses something beyond frequency but the idea like a radio. It can tune into what it seeks to find.

Because we are tuned into that measurement.

So for every discrete moment, an electron is limited to what type of measurement it can be. A snapchat. But the next moment can it be a different type, right?

How about what's in between a person blind from birth and a person who was blind but now they see. The latter, although can no longer perceive sight, has knowledge of what is sight. Whereas the former has never had perception of sight. How you do explain to one who is blind how it is to see. By attempting to use sound, right--by taking, that is? So same in quantum mechanics. How do we know what we don't see? Well, let's see if another signal can give us insight.

We can't see things too small or not within the visible light spectrum for humans.

I feel like this would be very easy to spark conversation in kids. They are very set in their ways and typically not scared to voice their opinions of what they think is right. The struggle would be to teach them that everyone’s opinions matter and how to disagree politely.

You could do this in many different ways. My first thought comes to think-pair-share or small group discussions before talking to the whole class. Randomized calling after a discussion has a better chance for participation in a non threatening way. You could also have students do sentence starters.

I feel like this goes for every student, not just ELL learners. This could go for general ed students or even special education. Science in the classroom should revolve around student curiosity and discoveries.

Academic and studying skills can be applied to more than just educational situations, and that's why they're important skills to have. Problem solving skills and learning strategies can be applied to work life and everyday life, as well as academic life.

This is important for me because a lot of times we just assume what any teacher tells us is correct, but going deeper to understand the topic is important because the teacher might not always be right. Its important to understand something beyond the surface and to ask questions to totally know what is going on. it helps for us to understand other things too.

This line can be read in two ways (at least). On a first pass—at least this was very much the case for me—it reads with “please” as an adverb, as it is often used in requests or questions. There is a problem then with “its” which is read as “it’s” as in “it is time.” But this error feels fitting—the repetition of the line and its formatting in all caps create a sense of urgency, a rush from which this mistake could ensue. It feels that punctuation has been omitted in a similar fashion.

But “its” could also be read as is, in which case it is a possessive pronoun—“time” belongs to “it.” “Please” is then an imperative verb. I am leaning towards this reading, as it feels slightly hidden (quite Eliot-like), and plays into the question of agency I have been exploring in a number of my annotations.

So what is the “it”? I think “it” refers to some greater force, power, or overarching structure, and here it feels clear that this is the game of chess—which is often played with time constraints.

Chess appears to be ruling this section of the poem, especially the parts pertaining to women. I find chess very interesting in that, in looking at its set-up, it is suggested that the queen, as the most powerful piece (being able to move as she does), should be the most secure. Yet the rules define winning as capturing the king. The queen’s role is one of sacrifice, to protect the king, and in doing so almost always meets her demise. The women referenced in “A Game of Chess” follow this arc. They hold the immense power of “love,” but somehow this is, in each case, twisted to serve men and then lead to their death. It seems that Lil will meet a similar end, with the last line on page 59 being a reference to (some of) Ophelia’s last words (where she is speaking about herself?). The ties to Middleton’s A Game at Chess and its sexual interpretations of the game link these two ideas more firmly.

In Pound’s The Game of Chess there is a pattern of lines on the page that repeats four times. It is a sequence of one line and then the line below it being indented (a couple times?). The space, notably, forms a clear “angle” and an uppercase “l” if rotated 180°. This pattern/spacing, even exaggerated a bit, is replicated twice with lines 117-120 in “A Game of Chess.” This stands out against the formatting up to this point. Now the section is physically fitting into “the game.”

Eliot made the title “A Game of Chess”—not “The Game of Chess” (Pound) or “A Game at Chess” (Middleton). “A Game of Chess” feels more open and less defining than “The Game of Chess.” There is some room. But “A Game at Chess” feels more action-oriented. As always with Eliot, I feel there is back-and-forth.

In these stanzas, Eliot combines the burning of the “Fire Sermon Discourse" with Augustine’s confessions: effectively combining Christianity and Buddhism, and more largely eastern and western thought. “Burning” is a reference to the overwhelming nature of “passion, aversion, delusion, and suffering. The goal of the Buddha is freedom from “attachement” and deliverance of “depravities” (all tied to the humanness of the five senses and the mind), thus freeing them from the state of a “burning” mind, reaching “arahantship.” The repetition of the word “burning,” in this context compiles the preceding stanzas and references, begging for a rest from the overwhelming overextension of information – begging God or the readers for a second of mercy, for a respite from the polluted hellish landscape that defines “The Waste Land.” The lines “O Lord Thou pluckest me out/O Lord Thou pluckest” are a direct quote from Augustine’s confession 10.34.53, where he discusses the temptation of pride, even though God is the one true way. He says that “O Lord, Thou pluckest me out; because Thy loving-kindness is before my eyes” to showcase how vision and humanity are products of The Lord’s work, and, thus, humanity owes their creations and beauties to the Lord. In this line, by saying “Thy loving-kindness is before my eyes,” Augustine devalues the visual, instead suggesting that the only things that he must see and follow are the words of God. Similarly, The Blessed One in the Fire Sermon says that “‘The eye, O priests, is on fire…eye-conciousness is on fire,” also giving the sense that our senses (particularly the visual) are unimportant, and the only way to reach true spirituality is to forgo them. These details about vision, or the lack thereof, inexplicably tie these lines all the way back to the speaker of The Waste Land, “Tiresias,” who was blind and had been both male and female, giving him the power of the prophecy. Just like Tiresias, who lived between two ( seen as opposing) sexes, these two ideologies from eastern and western thought differ in ideology. However, the solace from the division is the opposite of our humanity and our vision. To unite humanity, we must relinquish that which makes us so, embracing divinity and the word of our gods, though they may present differently across cultures.

Eliot's choice to directly quote Augustine's confession, "To Carthage then I came," brings forth the full context of that arrival, where Carthage is described as a place "where there sang all around me in my ears a cauldron of unholy loves." This directly relates to what Eliot has been showing throughout the poem, the degraded, mechanical relationships between men and women in the Wasteland. Just as Carthage corrupted Augustine to the point where his "soul was sickly and full of sores," the disesed relationships in The Wasteland also cause spiritual corruption, Eliot then follows with the repetition "Burning burning burning burning," directly referencing the Buddha's Fire Sermon, "With the fire of passion, say I, with the fire of hatred, with the fire of infatuation; with birth, old age, death, sorrow, lamentation, misery, grief, and despair are they on fire." Eliot's use of the fire insists that the people in the Wasteland haven't distanced themselves from their senses, and as a result they suffer. Eliot then uses another of Augustine's confessions, "O Lord Thou pluckest me out." Here Augustine admits that even though he recognizes how "those beautiful patterns which through men's souls are conveyed into their cunning hands, come from that Beauty, which is above our souls, which my soul day and night sigheth after," he still finds himself entangled in outward beauties, and needs God's mercy to repeatedly pull him free. By placing these two voices together, Buddha and Augustine, Eliot is suggesting that the people in The Wasteland are in need of saving. Regardless of the solution, whether it's distancing from their burning senses or God coming to pluck them. They must be saved from their unholy behavior.

Yes! There is a ton of research on how AI impacts/helps/supports/hinders writing - the other skills are not nearly as extensively studied.

I agree with the idea that our society actively works to suppress creativity. This affirms my perspective that we often prioritize getting the right answers rather than thinking creatively in order to get a range of answers for a question. I think this because we, inherently, as humans think of things in black and white. If something isn't the "right" or "correct" idea, it is simply wrong. In reality, these answers may not be wrong and may just be different. Through my own experiences at school, I've seen how people are quick to shut down the idea generation process to just skip ahead to the solution. Especially with generative AI now, we're outsourcing our thinking. This is harmful because we need to be able to think. If we can't think, we can't create.

the action of mathematical calculation

The values of a variable can change throughout the code. In this case, var2 holds 2 values, but whatever is the most recent value is the value that will get assigned to that variable

these are wrong because one of the variables start with a number values/digit which violates the varible assignment rule

The second variable is flagged and in violation because it contians an illegal charcter which is the @ sign

The last variable "class" fooled me, but it this violates the variable rules because the term class is one of PYTHONS keywords!!! the interperater uses keywords to recognize the sturtues of the program --> therefore NONE of python's keywords can be used as variable names

Electron density

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.

I don’t why the author use inseparable as a different font. Is it an important message for the readers? Or another meaning?

This paragraph is very interesting that the narrator says that the feast is so many but the ambience is empty.

"She shot out from the back bedroom with a howl, was through the living room and up into my arms, leaping up onto me, her arms locked around my neck, her legs wrapped around my waist, 95 pounds that felt no more than 30. She was crying into my hair, squeezing her legs tighter. It was not a greeting as much as it was a claim: She was staking out this spot on my chest as her own, and I was to hold her for as long as she wanted to stay." Observation: Ann Patchett recounts years of caretaking for Lucy — helping her recover from surgeries, managing finances, and emotionally supporting her through depression and addiction. Interpretation: This highlights a feminist issue of emotional labor, especially in female friendships. Ann gave more than companionship — she carried Lucy when the systems failed her. Connection: Feminist criticism often looks at how women are expected to care for others, even at the cost of their own well-being. Ann’s role brings attention to how friendship between women can become a form of unpaid emotional work.

I believe the goal for tech workers is to develop technology safely. It seems like there is a slippery slope that we are inching closer than ever towards. At this point where we have, as Kumail Nanjiani mentions, altering videos that could affect the reputation of public figures. The goal of tech workers should be to create the technology at a rate that is beneficial towards society while preventing any type of danger faced. An example of this could be harvesting materials such as wood, the goal should be to replenish the trees that are being garnered by lumber companies and machines.

Patchett wrote about Lucy from lived experience and memory. Interpretation: While Mote’s portrayal feels more “objective” or researched, Patchett’s account is deeply emotional and intimate. This reflects two types of storytelling: one as a journalist/observer and one as a participant. Connection: This reflects a larger feminist discussion about how women’s lives are recorded — through emotional truth (like memoirs) or cultural/historical documentation (like ethnography). Both are valid but serve different purposes in feminist literature. **

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.

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.

I really agree of what it said, since like in 4.2.3, if we search and turn something into data we might lose some specific details or background of the data. All we want is to let it turn into simple. When I ask the question of what country are I am from, I will answer that I am from China Chongqing, However, I lived Beijing for 13 years, and now I study in Seattle US. I spend more time in places other than Chongqing which is my hometown. If it turn into data, it might just include China. When I answer the question like how many people live in this house, I will said three people. But I will say more about our room like, it is 4b2b, however one of the student just leave and there is no more people come in, so it turn into 3b2b. But the data might just include 3. For the question how many words in this chapter, the data might just include a number, however, as for me I will introduce more content of each parts.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hmm...we are probably not more qualified than you for this.

I loved this point, education is important, but you can't truly learn much or do your best when you aren't taking care of yourself too. It's easy to overlook these things; they might seem small or insignificant, but these are our needs, and even neglecting the smallest thing can throw our entire system off. Taking care of yourself and your needs is so important, and I'm so happy that they brought this out.

The argument assumes that hypocrisy only raises suspicion and not refutation. We may wonder whether hypocrisy sometimes directly undermines credibility.

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.

The argument assumes that audiences will always notice when appeals to shared identity are insincere.

This piece clearly articulates the case that not all appeals to trust are legitimate.It gives readers three guiding questions.

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.
