<h2>prepare a speech on science and superstition</h2>

One of the most important steps in the development of a scientific attitude is perceived by many, as a relentless fight against SUPERSTITIOUS BELIEFS. Superstitious beliefs are easy to define within the scientific framework. Any idea or theory that cannot be tested using the SCIENTIFIC METHOD, is superstition. Many rationalist organizations have put in great amounts of time and effort, to fight superstition. In their zealous pursuit, they have run into opposition from religious and other groups, that take offense to the rationalists incapability in distinguishing belief, from superstition. Is there really any difference between the two? The answer depends on your point of view. In the scientific framework, there is no fundamental difference. In science, their is no belief that is absolute, except of course the implicit belief in the universal validity of the scientific method.

In my opinion, superstition baiters should take a more pragmatic approach to realising their goals. They must resist the temptation to fight every superstition, tooth and nail, as they do now. They must instead try to classify superstitions first. To my mind, a simple classification divides superstitions into four categories which are:

I have to write two small paragraphs on Should government provide health care? can someone help and just give me their opinion o

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

I would say that yes government should provide health care.

Explanation:

Start off your first paragraph with your opinion and add one reason. An example would be, Government should provide health care because reason 1. Discuss reason 1 in the first paragraph. For the second paragraph start the same way, I think government should provide health care because reason 2. If you have text then include quotes. In one of your paragraphs include a counter claim. Basically say, Some people may say government should not provide health care because (insert reason). Then say, this is not a realistic reason because..... At the end of your first paragraph write a transitional sentence such as, government has many other reasons to provide health care or something along that line. At the end of your second paragraph write a concluding sentence. For example, government should provide health care because reason 1 and reason 2 prove that it would be beneficial. One reason you could use I thought of right away was so that people are able to care more about helping their child, significant other, mom, dad, etc get better than worry about how much money the life saving procedure is going to cost. A reason you could say to not provide health care, is that insurance would most likely fight procedures more and it would be difficult to get treatments because if everyone can now get procedures they need for free, some people may not be accepted because they are not in as dire of circumstances. Overall, a general rule of thumb I use is pick the side that is easiest to support not what you necessarily agree with.

From the poem Ithaka, ''What does the speaker say will make the traveler wealthy?''

Fantom [35]

Answer:

The speaker says that the experience of going through the long journey will make the traveler wealthy.

Explanation:

Constantine Cavafy's poem "Ithaka" is an allegorical poem about the journey of Odysseus and his decade-long journey to get back home to Ithaca. The poem draws inspiration and alludes to that epic journey, but talks more in a generalized sense of getting knowledge through the journey.

The speaker "advises" that every man must go through a journey like Odysseus in order to get to one's own "Ithaka" or in this sense, one's life end or goal. "Ithaka" here is a metaphor for the personal goal of a person/ individual. And to him, the lifelong travel through numerous 'obstacles', the memories, the experience of the journey will make the traveler wealthy.

Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,

you will have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.

According to the poet, it is not the physical wealth that will make the traveler rich but rather the experiences and life lessons he will have learned along the way, that will make him wealthy.
