In your opinion, is the “Modern” state of human creation (science, technology, intelligence, etc.) beneficial or detrimental to

Elza [17]

Evolution of science, technology and intelligence has both improved and worsen human life. When properly used, science and technology have always been very good tools for advances in industry, everyday comforts, health, and education, thus giving us a better quality of life.

All these improvements are linked to each other, creating a chain of benefits for civilization. If we think of life expectancy, for example, we can realize our ancestors used to live less time, this is because medicine has significantly evolved thanks to science and technology. Another example is communication, nowadays we can instantly get in touch with a person who is miles away thanks to the creation of cellphones and computers.

But, when improperly used, science, technology and intelligence can be destructive. This was the case with WWII, in which technology and science were employed to build weapons of mass destruction, as the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

It is also true that our planet is deteriorating due to these activities, and if somebody has to take responsiblity for it, it is us, but only us together can help the planet get better. The following quote from the novel by Mary Shelley shares the same ideal:

"It is true, we shall be monsters, cut off from all the world; but on that account we shall be more attached to one another.”

Part A What is the author's point of view toward Azy's vocabulary mistake in "The Think Tank"? O The mistake is a major setback

Goryan [66]

Answer:

A) The correct answer is C) the mistake helpfully reveals the way Azy's mind works.

B) The correct option is D) "Maybe this can teach us a little bit about how he thinks."

Explanation:

A) Azy - an Orangutan in captivity which is being used for experiments in the behaviour of primates, especially learning, is presented with a bag containing food.

Azy is given options on a screen to select from, and instead of picking food, he picks another symbol which represents a container.

According to the researchers, the right answer would have been the symbol which connotes food. However, Shumaker is elated to note that the Orangutans have the ability to put things into categories.

B) In the last paragraph of the excerpt, Shumaker states that in his opinion, the mistake shows that Azy in his mind is learning or can put objects into categories and that that by itself could be a pointer to how Orangutans think.

Cheers

How do you think your experience might be similar and different to those people in Latin America and the Caribbean?

vichka [17]

Latin America, like much of the developing world, will have to face serious challenges in the current century. Environmental changes, persistent inequality, and increasing violence force millions of people throughout the region to live in a constant state of uncertainty. Hispanics are split on whether they think of themselves as a “typical American” or “very different from a typical American.” According to the survey, 49% of Hispanics say the former, while 44% say the latter. Latinos in the U.S. describe their identity in many ways, reflecting the diversity of origins in the Latino community, the immigrant experience and geography. Broadly, some Latinos use pan-ethnic terms such as “Hispanic” or “Latino” to describe their identity; some prefer their family’s Hispanic origin group; others use “American”. For Puerto Ricans, among those born on the island (or in another country outside the U.S.), 74% most often use the term “Puerto Rican” to describe themselves. Among Puerto Ricans born in the 50 states or D.C., just 42% do the same. Half (48%) of second-generation Hispanics most often describe themselves by their family’s Hispanic origin name. We can divide the environmental challenges into those that are already apparent and those that will become more so through the 21st C. (World Bank, 2016) Among the former, the most obvious one is the pollution that mars many cities in Latin America. In many cases, this results not so much from industry as from the massive concentration in 1-2 urban areas in each country. This pollution can be both airborne, and arguably more important, also originates in the underdevelopment of sanitation infrastructure. Half (48%) of Mexicans say they think of themselves as a typical American, while 46% say they think of themselves as very different from a typical American. Among South Americans in the U.S., those shares are 46% and 48%, respectively.
