8 0

When Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin, met with Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, Lincoln allegedly said to her, "So you must be the woman who started this great war."

Lincoln was not being completely serious, of course, but many people do point to Uncle Tom's Cabin as the book that galvanized opposition to slavery. The novel was extremely successful—the bestselling novel in American history, up to that point—and gave people around the country an intimate and horrifying look at what slavery was like. There were many, many other reasons for the Civil War, but Uncle Tom's Cabin certain marks a major turning point in the abolitionism movement.

Explain how one of the three types of reasoning identified by Aristotle could be used in developing solutions.

Gwar [14]

Answer:

The three types of reasoning identified by Aristotle were abductive, inductive, and deductive reasoning and inductive reasoning can be used in developing solutions because it involves considering the surrounding context of a problem.

Explanation:

Aristotle was one of the most influential thinkers in the history of human thought and his understanding of reason has influenced many different European philosophies on the human mind as well as the sciences and scientific reasoning. Inductive reasoning involves going into a situation without pre-formed judgements as much as possible, where you let the context and environment and circumstances help you to understand a situation and come to a decision. This would useful in decision making so that you draw conclusions from actually observing the facts with as little bias as possible. Deductive reasoning is the opposite in some sense, where you have a hypothesis or a premise -- and idea or impression that you want to test or prove beforehand. Abduction is the kind of reasoning where you use a conclusion to determine the precondition. This is used a lot in detective work as an example. Since the cake has obviously been eaten (observation/conclusion) it must be that someone or some pet perhaps ate the cake on the kitchen table.

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

All the statements except statement B are true.

Explanation:

The magnetic field reversals that have happened on earth from time to time are evident from the geological features found near the mid-oceanic ridge.
The rock stripes stopped developing in a single direction after the polar direction of the region changed. Hence, the patterns that are seen in the rock stripes can be deemed as proof of magnetic field reversals from time to time.
