Answer:
Let´s say we need to compare the exam result of two separate groups of students. Each group has 3 students, and both groups have an average result of 70 over one-hundred.
All the students from group A had a score of 70
(70+70+70)/3=70 average
But the score from group B are
student 1: 40 over 100
student 2: 70 over 100
student 3: 100 over 100
(40+70+100)/3=70 average
As we can see, even though both groups have the same average score, there´s a hidden disparity that can not be recognized with only the average.
Explanation:
In statistics, an average is a number that estimates the central tendency of a given set of numbers, and it can also be described as the summary of a group of numbers as a single number. While averages can be useful for comparison, they can also hide disparities that required further analysis with different estimations.
Answer: Descartes is similar more or less to Gretchen, not just because Gretchen took a liking to philosophy, but because Gretchen wondered if there was life after death and she was more or less on the no side.
However Sam tried to convince her throughout the story and that is what Descartes did. He tried to get to know if this was true through the means of phsicology.
Explanation: Gretchen Weirob was a philosophy teacher and Sam Miller is her friend. Gretchen decided to spend her last days debating on whether life after death is possible and on personal identity.
Descartes considered the body and the soul to be ontologically separate but interacting entities, each with its own particular attributes. He then sought to specify both their mode and site of interaction; the latter he deduced to be the pineal gland. The pineal was to become, in the words of Geoffrey Jefferson, “the nodal point of Cartesian dualism.”
Descartes succeeded in eliminating the soul’s general physiological role altogether and in circumscribing its cognitive role to the human species. Descartes’s writings about death show that his concept of the soul clearly implied both mind and the immaterial principle of immortality. It had to mean both things, for no one had ever conceived of survival after death without a mind to verify the fact of continued existence, to enjoy its pleasures, and to suffer its pains.
We now know that immediately below the pineal gland there lies the mesencephalic tegmentum (the uppermost part of the brain stem), which is crucial to generating alertness (the capacity for consciousness), without which, of course, there can be no volition, cognition, or reason.
He applied his skill in engineering to toughen up the defence
No, it is unethical to use another author's ideas without crediting his or her work or literature. Failing to credit an author's work in your own work is known as plagiarism. Plagiarism has serious and sometimes even legal consequences in both educational institutions and beyond that in the corporate world and publishing industries. To avoid plagiarism and remain ethical it is best to quote ideas given by another author and clearly state the source from which you are quoting the author's work.
Sociology help us to see our behavior from a new perspective. It allow us how our personal behavior affect other people on societal level and how society could affect our development on a personal level.
One limitation of a sociological perspective is it often make us overlook a crucial factor because there are simply too many factors to be considered.
