which means that only one of them has to be asked to find out what all the rest of them think.
This makes sense because it underlines a certain group. The problem people are considered a group and they all share the same beliefs. So, in the text when it says "only one of the has to be asked", that means that no one in that group is different from the rest when it comes to the beliefs of that group. They are all one in that sense.
tradition is not something you inherit—if you want it, you must sacrifice for it.
See I have always thought that a tradition is something you inherit because it is something that is passed down from a generation to generation. But it makes sense that T.S. Eliot portrayed it as something that must be fought for. A tradition is not something that is mandatory to do, but rather something you chose to do because it has been passed down. Some traditions die because either people do not fight to keep it going or they do not believe in it.
decency and dignity
These two words "decency" and "dignity" are pretty relatable. When I think about these words in the context of this article, I think of it as standing up for what is right and not abandoning ones beliefs.
wouldn’t it be worth it to dial back on those blows when players are younger,
And this is where I disagree. It is important to start these kids at a young age mainly to teach them proper form and technique so they can learn and be able to use that knowledge to further their knowledge on correct safety protocols. If they wait too long, it could take longer for them to learn. And starting at a later age where the game is at a higher speed could cause injury to someone who isn't familiar with the correct techniques and form to stay safe.
If groups want to create youth flag football leagues, I’m all for it.
I like this as well, because at least they are not saying these kids should not play at all. However, i still disagree with the claim to not start contact football until at least 9th grade
I’ll disagree with him there, because now is the perfect time to talk about it
I like this counter argument because it is never a bad time to talk about this because this has been an on going issue in sports and needs to be addressed with caution all the time
“I don’t think football needs to be played until you’re in ninth grade,” Holgorsen said. “That’s my personal opinion with kids growing up.”
This argument starts out with saying that kids shouldn't start playing football until in high school. I do not agree, because how are kids suppose to know how to hit properly and protect themselves when they are just jumping into a game that is at a way higher speed than if they would have started when they were younger.
Most high school football coaches understand the dangerous nature of football collisions, work to minimize the risk, and focus on the virtues of teamwork, responsibility, working for a common goal and selflessness. All team sports, football included, teach teens about resiliency and accountability and responsibility.
Here we see how they talk about how coaches understand the risk and are doing everything they can to keep their players safe and also able to enjoy the game
It's why some schools, including Gulf Shores, Danville and Mountain Brook, bought new helmets with Riddell's InSite Training Tool Technology that allow trainers on the sideline to monitor impact hits taken by players on the field.
Schools are buying better and safer equipment to keep their players safe and lessen the risk of getting injured
Take smoking. We know smoking increases the likelihood of developing lung and other cancers, but it's not a sure thing. We've all heard stories about lifetime smokers celebrating a 100th birthday, and tee-totaling non-smokers who die of lung cancer in their 40s.
This is a great reference to get the point across. Thing helps other things move into place, but its not the only factor or the only reason.
Are there chances for concussions? Of course. There are collisions. But the game is safer than it's ever been."
Another important point that it's not the game that is causing these injuries. Injuries are going to happen, but the game has been modified over the years to be safer and more responsible.
CTE and football has caused parents to question whether teens should play football.
Here we see the starting point or counter argument about how some parents are concerned about their child's safety.
"Football is vital to our communities in that it teaches young men toughness, hard work, responsibility, team work and selflessness.
This is an important starting point that emphasizes how the game of football is not just about hitting other people or being violent. It's about teaching young athletes respect, toughness, hard work, responsibility, team work and coachability. Great skills not just for sports but for life
to the impossibility of effecting any changes to System 1—the quick-thinking part of our brain and the one that makes mistaken judgments
People use this part of the brain all the time. And like said in the context, it's impossible to effect any changes because it's all about quick thinking. Everyone has their own way of quick thinking, but it is all about second nature thinking. Meaning when something happens fast, we have to think fast to where we almost don't think at all, we just do it.
I took the test again soon after playing the game, with mixed results. I showed notable improvement in confirmation bias, fundamental attribution error, and the representativeness heuristic, and improved slightly in bias blind spot and anchoring bias.
I think this proves a point that the scores went higher after playing the game because they are doing more than just watching a video. They are watching, making decisions and adjusting to different situations. This helps activate their minds more to make more critically biased decisions
Along the way, you’re asked to make judgments and predictions—some having to do with the story and some about unrelated issues—which are designed to call your biases into play. You’re given immediate feedback on your answers.
This part of the game uses the mind and the users thinking process. They are forced to make decisions and based on their decisions, they have to react to what happens next. Some situation may be more difficult and other may workout smoothly. Not everyone is going to make the right decision, but this is how we learn how we put our own bias into play. It get our thinking process going and then we are bale to make adjustments down the road.
allowing expertise to enlighten political decisions but protecting them from endorsing political responsibility.
So I'm wondering if this means when it comes to making the decision based on the virus that it should be mentioned by a health expert, but it should not be the final decision. Meaning that the health expert should have the responsibility of endorsing political decisions. Their suggestions should be highly encouraged. I think if it were up to the health expert, they would have no choice but to say the community needs a full lockdown to stop the spread. However, that cannot happen because the economy would almost be destroyed.
Some democracies, among them Australia, Germany, Greece, New Zealand, and South Korea among others were fairly successful in containing the virus and limiting deaths. Others, like the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Mexico, and India have not performed as well.
This is a big eye opener. The United States is among other countries that have not got a handle on the virus. We se these other countries are able to control the virus and it makes people think what they are doing right and what we are doing wrong. But at the same time, I see the United States doing the best they can to make things as normal as possible. Because that is no way to live when everyone is on shut down. We can't just stop life as we know it, people need to work and make ends meets. Financial problems are the big issue with this pandemic.
potential second or third waves of the COVID-19 pandemic suggest that the resilience of democratic regimes cannot be taken for granted.
So this to me sounds like if democratic regimes do not take this more seriously the waves will just keeping coming and coming. But what's interesting is that I believe we are taking this seriously because of the COVID-19 measures. As well as the release of the vaccine with a very high affect rate should show promising positive steps.
