A team of journalists has decided to take a survey asking a group of 100 people whether herbal supplements help to alleviate sym

ptoms of depression. The survey asks participants about their own personal experiences with herbal supplements. Would the results of the journalists' survey be considered "reliable" and prove that herbal supplements either alleviate or have no effect on symptoms of depression?

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The journalists asked people about their own personal experience with herbal supplements, therefore, it relies on what people say and on their anecdotal evidence.

We say that a research is reliable if the method used produces stable and consistent results. In other words, if we apply the same method on similar objects/subjects it will produce the same results.

In this example, this survey is based on the participants "own experiences" and therefore the journalists shouldn't be able to reliable conclude anything that actually establishes a relation between herbal supplements and depression. They would need a hypothesis, a control case study and more controlled observations rather than a survey.

Identify other people from Mesopotamian society that your character would interact with. Explain what these other characters do
Mamont248 [21]

Ancient Mesopotamia society members held jobs such as slaves, priests, farmers, weavers, tradesmen, pottery, and herdsman. Your character could interact with a member of society with any one of these occupations (even with the King of Mesopotamian society) depending on their societal status. Keep in mind that priests were of the upper class and slaves were of the lower class. Also note that there was no rigid structure to societal class so at anytime a person's societal status could potentially change.

Keep in mind that two major cultural groups existed during this time period in this area. This includes the Sumerians (responsible for temples and palaces, city states, and first writings) and the Akkadians (established the first Mesopotamian empire). These two groups existed together peacefully for the most part. Your character could belong to one of these cultural groups.
