Write a short essay about the messages that astrology gives people and why they would “believe” in them essay should be about 15

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Why do people believe in astrology? The answer to the question lies very much in the same realm as why people believe in just about any superstition. Astrology offers a number of things which many people find very desirable: information and assurance about the future, a way to be absolved of their current situation and future decisions, and a way to feel connected to the entire cosmos.

Astrology shares this with many other beliefs which tend to be categorized as "New Age." For example, the idea that nothing in life is truly coincidental. On this view of life, everything which happens to us, even the smallest or seemingly most insignificant event, happens for some particular reason. Astrology then claims to provide at least some of the answers as to why they happen, and perhaps even a way to predict them in advance. In this way, astrology purports to help people understand their lives and the world around them — and who doesn't want that?

Does Astrology Help People?

In a sense, astrology does work. As practiced today, it can work quite well. After all, most of those who visit an astrologer end up feeling satisfied and feeling that they have benefited. What this really means is not that astrology has accurately predicted the person's future, but rather it means that visiting an astrologer or having a horoscope cast can be a fulfilling and personally satisfying experience.

Think about what happens during a visit with an astrologer: someone holds your hand (even if only figuratively), looks you in the eye, and explains how you, as an individual, are actually connected to our entire cosmos. You are told how mysterious forces in the universe around us, far greater than ourselves, work to shape our intimate destinies. You are told relatively flattering things about your character and life, and in the end, you are naturally pleased that someone cares about you. In the hectic and generally disconnected modern society, you feel connected — both to another human being and to the world around you.

Most likely, you even get some vaguely useful advice about your future. Daniel Cohen wrote in the Chicago Tribune in 1968 that:

"The core of an astrologer's popularity stems from the fact that he can offer something that no astronomer or any other scientists can give — reassurance. In an uncertain time, when religion, morals, and ethics are shattered so regularly that one hardly notices that they are gone, the astrologer holds out a vision of a world ruled by forces that operate with clockwork regularity.

A Connection to the Cosmos

In addition, astrology is glorifying. Instead of feeling himself a mere slave in the hands of different hostile forces, the believer is uplifted by his connection with the cosmos. ... The sort of misty character analysis that astrologers engage in cannot be considered proof at all. Who can object to a flattering description of themselves? One astrologer told me that under my hard exterior I was a sensitive person. How was I to reply to a statement like that? Could I say, 'No, I am really a hardheaded clod'?"

What we have, then, is personal advice and personal attention from a kindly authority figure. Planets? They don't really have anything to do with the matter — the planets are simply the excuse for the meeting. All the talk about ascensions and quadrants serve to make the astrologer appear to be an expert and authority figure, thus setting the stage for the quality of the encounter. In reality, the charts and horoscope are just smokescreens to deflect your attention from what is really going on, which is a cold reading. This is simply an old carnival trick, employed today with great success not just by astrologers, but psychics and mediums and hucksters of all brands.

None of this is to say that astrologers' advice is never any good. Like a telephone psychic, even though the advice is usually very vague and general, it can often be better than no advice at all. Some people just need another person to listen to them and show some concern for their problems. On the other hand, astrologers who recommend against particular marriages or projects because of the "stars" might be providing disastrous advice. There is, sadly, no way to differentiate between the two.

3. Which of the following indicates your body's ability to use oxygen during exercise?

Romashka [77]

Answer:Numerous definitions of health exist and, in this report, we have adopted the following:

“Health is a human condition with physical, social and psychological dimensions, each

characterized on a continuum with positive and negative poles. Positive health is associated

with a capacity to enjoy life and to withstand challenges; it is not merely the absence of

disease. Negative health is associated with morbidity, and in the extreme, with premature

mortality” (10, p.100).

Health-related quality of life is an individual's overall sense of well being and includes

such factors as pain, mood, energy level, family and social interactions, sexual function,

ability to work, and ability to keep up with routine daily activities

Explanation:

Absolute risk. The percentage of subjects in a group that experiences a discrete negative

outcome, such as death or hospital admission.

Case-control study. A type of epidemiological study design in which subjects are selected

based on the presence or absence of a specific outcome of interest, such as cancer or

diabetes. The individual’s past physical activity practices are assessed, and the association

between past physical activity and presence of the outcome is determined.

Case report. This includes single case reports of individual patients and published case

series.

Confidence interval. When relative risk (see definition below) is calculated, one can also

calculate a confidence interval, or a band of uncertainty, around the estimate of the relative

risk. Typically, 95% confidence intervals are used in epidemiological studies. For example, if

the estimated relative risk for colon cancer associated with physical activity, compared with

inactivity, is 0.5 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.3 to 0.8, this means that we are 95%

certain that the true estimate of the relative risk lies between 0.3 and 0.8.

Cross-sectional study. Studies that compare and evaluate specific groups or populations at

a single point in time.

Observational studies. Studies in which outcomes are measured but no attempt is made to

change the outcome. The two most commonly used designs for observational studies are

case-control studies and prospective cohort studies.
