Part 1: Which statement below is a counterclaim that Jefferson anticipates in the Declaration of Independence?

The correct answer is "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes." Why? Because the Colonies are doing exactly that. They are removing a long established Monarchy that has controlled their colonies for more than 200 years since the founding of the first British settlement of Jamestown on May 14, 1607. Opposers to the Independence of the 13th American colonies would likely argue that their grievances do not justify severing ties with the United Kingdom. Jefferson very intelligently provides a rebuttal by stating that the causes of the separation are NOT "light and transient causes" and that the only choice of American colonists is to become independent.

Question 2 (1 point) Choose the best answer. Relationship Among Ideas Part 2: Based on the counterclaim you identified in the previous question, which statement below is an example of Jefferson's rebuttal?

"He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. This is the correct answer because who is this "He"? It is George III, King of England and Ireland (1760 – 1820) and it refers explicitly to the list of grievances that Jefferson is about to provide. Jefferson calls these "his invasions on the rights of the people". Furthermore, the previous statement clearly criticizes dissolving long established governments and by stating that King George has done exactly that, Jefferson very cleverly deflects this anticipated blame towards King George himself.

Question 3 (1 point) Choose the best answer. Author’s Methods: Which statement below is a claim that Jefferson makes about governments?

"That to secure these rights (life, liberty, pursuit of happiness), Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." This sentence states that the power of a Government is the result of the consent of the governed and that the main purpose of such government is to secure the inalienable rights of the men who institute such government. The word institute is also important since it states that governments are not the creation of monarchs, aristocrats or divine providence but of the people. This signals an irreversible departure from the tenets of monarchy and "divine right".

Question 4 (1 point) Choose the best answer. Author’s Methods: What is the persuasive effect of Jefferson's language in the closing paragraphs?

Jefferson uses pronouns like "we" to show that the colonies are unified and excited to rally against Britain. This is definitely the correct answers, not only Jefferson uses the world "we" repeatedly throughout the text but he also confronts it with the "He" that the colonies are against, that is to say, King George III. By doing this he shows that this is an issue of a privileged minority against a vast majority and he underscores this opposition by closing his text with the key words "representatives", meaning that Jefferson and the Founding Fathers represent all the American colonists, who are all united against the King and its monarchy.

Question 5 (1 point) Choose the best answer. Structure: Looking back over the entire text, what is distinctive about the structure of Jefferson’s argument?

Jefferson opens with ethos statements to prove why you should listen to him; Lists logos statements that detail what King George did wrong; Ends with pathos to encourage the colonies to support him.

This is the correct answer since ethos defines the "beliefs and worldviews of a culture, a people, of a country and here, that ethos is that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights". This is in line with the philosophies of 18th century Enlightenment.

Logos defines the set of logical reasons or arguments that the American colonists are providing to explain their irrevocable decision. All the wrongs that He inflicted upon the Colonies as well as the attempts by American Colonists to communicate and work with the Monarchy in order to resolve them satisfactorily.

Finally, pathos refers to the compassion and sympathy that Jefferson is striving to elicit from all those who will read the Declaration of Independence. He starts that explaining that Americans still consider the British as "brethren", but that they have been deaf to the plight of Americans. He reiterates the pain that these "Oppressions" have inflicted upon the American Colonists and finally requests the protection and assistance of the "Creator" since they are risking their "Lives, Fortunes, and sacred Honor" for their cause. These pleas intend to render the American Revolution sympathetic for the British subjects and the rest of the World (France, especially).

I know this is a very long answer but this is more a series of questions than one single question.

Write a paragraph explaining which appeals Herbert uses the most effectively- ethos, pathos, logos, or a combination of any of t
kiruha [24]

"Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken word there are three kinds. The first kind depends on the personal character of the speaker [ethos]; the second on putting the audience into a certain frame of mind [pathos]; the third on the proof, or apparent proof, provided by the words of the speech itself [logos]. Persuasion is achieved by the speaker's personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think him credible."

Ethos (sometimes called an appeal to ethics), then, is used as a means of convincing an audience via the authority or credibility of the persuader, be it a notable or experienced figure in the field or even a popular celebrity.

Pathos (appeal to emotion) is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response to an impassioned plea or a convincing story.

Logos (appeal to logic) is a way of persuading an audience with reason, using facts and figures.

Conclusion for science and technology essay
Alborosie

Answer:

Science and technology has a profound  impact on all of humanity’s activities. Science and technology  inventions and discoveries, including the theory  of the  origin of the universe, the  theory  of evolution, and the discovery of genes, have  given humanity many  hints relating to human existence from civilized  and cultural points of  view. Science and technology  have had an immeasurable influence  on the formation of our understanding  of the world,  our view of society,  and our outlook  on  nature.   The wide variety of technologies and science discoveries produced by  humanity  has led to the building and  development of  the civilizations of each age, stimulated economic growth, raised people’s standards of living, encouraged cultural development, and had a  tremendous impact on religion, thought, and many  other human activities. The impact  of science  and technology  on modern society  is  broad and wide-ranging,  influencing such areas as politics, diplomacy,  defense, the economy, medicine, transportation,  agriculture, social capital improvement, and many  more. The fruits of science and technology  fill every  corner of our  lives.   The hundred  years of the twentieth century  have been called  the “century  of science and technology,”  the “century  of war,” and  the “century of human prosperity,”  among other  expressions. Science and  technology  have thus far brought humanity  immeasurable benefits. In the twenty-first century, dubbed the “century of  knowledge” and the time  of a “knowledge-based society,”  it is hoped that the diverse potentials  of science and technology, built upon the foundation  of the hard-won science and technology  of the twentieth century, will be used to solve  the serious issues faced by humanity, such as global environmental problems. Moreover, it is also important to hold the firm  belief that science and technology  must be faithfully  passed on to future generations as  an irreplaceable asset of humanity, driven by  the trust and support of the public. Science and technology will most likely continue to be regarded by  humanity  as an invaluable commodity.  However,  the relationship between science and  technology and society  is  assuming many  shapes with the changing times.  Against the backdrop of  the historical turnaround in  the world order that came with the collapse of the U.S.-Soviet cold war structure, and with accelerating scientific and technological progress, as exemplified by  the life sciences  and IT, it is no exaggeration to say  that society  is transforming abruptly and  daily becoming more  complex. This transformation  appears in public  opinion  polls as changes in  public  awareness of science  and technology  and heightened public concern over the safety  and security  of society. In the present, squarely  addressing the relationship  between science and technology and society  is an  essential challenge to the sound development  of science and technology,  one which it is important to continue addressing in the future based on historical and civilized perspectives, while also maintaining a  deep awareness of the needs of the times.
