Phoenix is a city whose time has come. The inner city is being restored, the university is moving downtown, and property values

are on the rise. But we haven't quite arrived. Any downtown metropolis worth its salt has a commuter rail system. Just look at New York, Chicago, Seattle, and San Francisco. Don't leave Phoenix behind. Vote "Yes" for light rail.

The bandwagon fallacy is  in the insistence that good cities are good because they have rail.

Explanation:

The bandwagon fallacy is where the causation of something is confused as an effect.<u> It is the argument that because all the great cities of the country have light rail, our city too should have the same light rail system to be as good as them.</u>

This argument falls apart because the rail will not curb the problems that the passage itself talks about and then willfully ignores. I<u>n fact, bringing the rail to town will actually aggravate some of the issues mentioned here</u>. Which is why the argument becomes more weak.

Why are trees important to our health?<br><br> essay at least 400 words and no more than 500 words
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Everyone probably doesn’t feel the same way as I do, but perhaps they should. While being in nature leads to better health, creativity, and even kindness, there may be something special about being among trees.

After all, trees are important to our lives in many ways. The most obvious is their role in producing the oxygen we breathe and sequestering carbon dioxide to help protect our atmosphere; but science suggests trees provide other important benefits, too.

Here are some of the more provocative findings from recent research on how trees increase human well-being.

Trees help us feel less stressed and more restored

Probably the most well-researched benefit of nature exposure is that it seems to help decrease our stress, rumination, and anxiety. And much of that research has been conducted in forests.

In one recent study, 585 young adult Japanese participants reported on their moods after walking for 15 minutes, either in an urban setting or in a forest. The forests and urban centers were in 52 different locations around the country, and about a dozen participants walked in each area. In all cases, the participants walking in a forest experienced less anxiety, hostility, fatigue, confusion, and depressive symptoms, and more vigor, compared to walking in an urban setting. The results were even stronger for people who were more anxious to begin with.
