Answer:

The correct answer is:

True

Explanation:

The author William James talks about the importance of a "momentous option" in his lecture "The Will to Believe" published in 1896 in which he generally explains the importance of believing in certain concepts that have not been scientifically proven. One of the beliefs explained in the lecture, is the momentous option which refers to the specific moments in life that are presented normally for a really short period of time in a spontaneous way that  lead to decisions almost forced, but that represent significant events in life.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

"The Will to Believe" is a lecture by William James. It was first published in 1896 and defends the adoption of a belief without evidence of its truth.

In this lecture, James defines a "momentous option" is an irrevocable option for significant stakes. A momentous choice is supposed to be taken at the moment, because there will not be a second opportunity to make it.

Therefore, a momentous option is a choice between alternative beliefs that cannot be postponed (there won't be a second opportunity) or, at least, can only be postponed with significant loss.

1. What is one disadvantage to analyses of police record information, such as the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR)?
fomenos

Answer:

  1. A. Many crimes go unreported, often due to victims' fear, shame, or distrust of the police.
  2. A. social deviation

Explanation:

The Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) of the FBI has been immensely helpful in the solving of crimes by including details of crimes that law enforcement know about thereby allowing other law enforcement agencies to make comparisons that can solve crimes.

The problem however, is that only crimes that are reported or known about, make it to the reports and with there being so many crimes that don't get reported, the UCR is an incomplete measure.

A Social deviation refers to any activity that goes against the social norms of an area be it official norms (laws) or unspoken ones. Rosa Parks went against segregation laws which were official norms so this was a case of social deviation.

Rahim is interested in studying the expanded role of gender in pop culture. He plans on using textual analysis. What types of me
nikdorinn [45]

Textual analysis, as part of the metodolgy of Content analysis, works as a good technique to gather information from other people to see how they see the world, members of various cultures. Different information can be analyzed such as that contained in pictures, text, audio or video. Textual analysis of course is using only written text.



For the specific topic of the expanded role of gender in pop culture a good source of media are the blogs online which is a discussion or informational website with diary-style text entries people can make a blog (post some text) and it gets displayed in reverse chronological order, so the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page, Whe someone makes a blog it is people that want to inform others sharing information and their points of view. Some of them are really prepared and even have a college degree from some university in gender studies, and they post online, which is a pop media platform; therefore, they would be the best source of information and it could provide us with examples of historic actions that prove that gender roles have changed.

Nowadays you can have a diferent biological gender that the one you represent, example of this is Angela Ponce a transgender born male in Spain competing on the female miss universe contest.
