Pick one of the studies Rifkin mentions, and try to find out more. Is Rifkin’s description of the study accurate?

Answers

Answer 1
Though much of big science has centered on breakthroughs in biotechnology, nanotechnology and more esoteric questions like the age of our universe, a quieter story has been unfolding behind the scenes in laboratories around the world -- one whose effect on human perception and our understanding of life is likely to be profound.

What these researchers are finding is that many of our fellow creatures are more like us than we had ever imagined. They feel pain, suffer and experience stress, affection, excitement and even love -- and these findings are changing how we view animals.

Strangely enough, some of the research sponsors are fast food purveyors, such as McDonald's, Burger King and KFC. Pressured by animal rights activists and by growing public support for the humane treatment of animals, these companies have financed research into, among other things, the emotional, mental and behavioral states of our fellow creatures.

Studies on pigs' social behavior funded by McDonald's at Purdue University, for example, have found that they crave affection and are easily depressed if isolated or denied playtime with each other. The lack of mental and physical stimuli can result in deterioration of health.

The European Union has taken such studies to heart and outlawed the use of isolating pig stalls by 2012. In Germany, the government is encouraging pig farmers to give each pig 20 seconds of human contact each day and to provide them with toys to prevent them from fighting.

Other funding sources have fueled the growing field of study into animal emotions and cognitive abilities.

Researchers were stunned recently by findings (published in the journal Science) on the conceptual abilities of New Caledonian crows. In controlled experiments, scientists at Oxford University reported that two birds named Betty and Abel were given a choice between using two tools, one a straight wire, the other a hooked wire, to snag a piece of meat from inside a tube. Both chose the hooked wire. Abel, the more dominant male, then stole Betty's hook, leaving her with only a straight wire. Betty then used her beak to wedge the straight wire in a crack and bent it with her beak to produce a hook. She then snagged the food from inside the tube. Researchers repeated the experiment and she fashioned a hook out of the wire nine of out of 10 times.

Equally impressive is Koko, the 300-pound gorilla at the Gorilla Foundation in Northern California, who was taught sign language and has mastered more than 1,000 signs and understands several thousand English words. On human IQ tests, she scores between 70 and 95.

Tool-making and the development of sophisticated language skills are just two of the many attributes we thought were exclusive to our species. Self-awareness is another.

Some philosophers and animal behaviorists have long argued that other animals are not capable of self-awareness because they lack a sense of individualism. Not so, according to new studies. At the Washington National Zoo, orangutans given mirrors explore parts of their bodies they can't otherwise see, showing a sense of self. An orangutan named Chantek who lives at the Atlanta Zoo used a mirror to groom his teeth and adjust his sunglasses.

Of course, when it comes to the ultimate test of what distinguishes humans from the other creatures, scientists have long believed that mourning for the dead represents the real divide. It's commonly believed that other animals have no sense of their mortality and are unable to comprehend the concept of their own death. Not necessarily so. Animals, it appears, experience grief. Elephants will often stand next to their dead kin for days, occasionally touching their bodies with their trunks.

We also know that animals play, especially when young. Recent studies in the brain chemistry of rats show that when they play, their brains release large amounts of dopamine, a neurochemical associated with pleasure and excitement in human beings.

Noting the striking similarities in brain anatomy and chemistry of humans and other animals, Stephen M. Siviy, a behavioral scientist at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania, asks a question increasingly on the minds of other researchers. "If you believe in evolution by natural selection, how can you believe that feelings suddenly appeared, out of the blue, with human beings?"

Until very recently, scientists were still advancing the idea that most creatures behaved by sheer instinct and that what appeared to be learned behavior was merely genetically wired activity. Now we know that geese have to teach their goslings their migration routes. In fact, we are finding that learning is passed on from parent to offspring far more often than not and that most animals engage in all kinds of learned experience brought on by continued experimentation.


Answer 2

Answer:

Jeremy Rifkin is a public speaker, economic and social theorist, writer,  and activist. He has writen 21 books about how the economy has been inluenced by the science and the technology.

Explanation:

One of his studies is "Man and other animals " in which he tries to show that animals are creatures with feelings, "so we should give them rights too." According to Rifkin, animals are more similar to us than we imagined and they are able to feel sensantions such as pain, suffering,  stress, excitement and even love.

The undistinguish'd seeds of good and ill,
Heaven, in his bosom, from our knowledge hides:
And draws them in contempt of human skill,
Which oft for friends mistaken foes provides.

a.It is hard for humans to evaluate events in terms of potential outcomes.
b.It is difficult for humans to maintain a firm faith in God.
c.It is often difficult for humans to learn from their experiences.
d.It is not possible for humans to be friends with their foes.
e.It is difficult for humans to think well of their enemies.

Answers

The excerpt seems to be reflecting the viewpoint put forward in option a) It is hard for humans to evaluate events in terms of potential outcomes. For example, the line referring to the 'undistinguish'd seeds of good and ill' seems to insinuate that human beings are not able to work out which seeds will grow to be good or bad.

Answer: The right answer is the a) It is hard for humans to evaluate events in terms of potential outcomes.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this excerpt does not specifically refer to God, but to Heaven. In addition, it does not talk about the difficulty that humans experience to make friends with foes or to think well of them. Heaven is seen here as an omnipotent and powerful force that does not help humans discern the result of a good or an evil action, and, consequently, often confounds them, letting them believe that friends are foes and vice versa. The right answer is, therefore, the A. Humans often act without fully evaluating the consequences of their actions, since they do not have all the information at hand to do so.    

. Which figure of speech is used in the bolded line in the following excerpt from this poem by Robert Frost? Nothing Gold Can Stay Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. simile personification onomatopoeia metaphor

Answers

It's metaphor, since "Her early leaf's a flower" saying one thing is another without using the word 'like'. A simile does a similar thing, but it does use the word 'like'. An onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like a sound, and personification is giving a nonhuman thing human attributes.

Question

. Which figure of speech is used in the bolded line in the following excerpt from this poem by Robert Frost? Nothing Gold Can Stay Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day.Nothing gold can stay.


A.   simile

B.   personification

C.   onomatopoeia

D.   metaphor


ANSWER  =  D.  Metaphor


Lets define our figures of speech!


〜 A simile is a sort of comparison made between two things using the words “like” or “as”.


〜 Personification is the act of giving an inanimate object or animal (any non-human entity) features, traits or abilities of a human.


〜 A metaphor is when a word or phrase is applied to an object or action in which the description is not to be taken literally (it is exaggerated).


〜 Onomatopoeia is the use of words that are intended to describe a sound (ie: “crash”, “bang” etc).


From your example; “Her early leaf’s a flower”, we can see what figure of speech is being used.


Simile

• Does it use “like” or “as” to describe an entity?

Clearly, our phrase uses neither of the above words to do the mentioned intention, so it cannot be a simile.


Personification

• Does it describe a non-human object or thing to have humanlike characteristics?

The phrase uses the noun “her” when referring to Mother Nature, which may count as personification.


Metaphor

• Does the phrase describe something in an exaggerated manner to which it is intended not to be taken literally?

The phrase claims that the “early leaf” IS a flower, which is likely not to be taken literally, but more of a symbolic way of describing beauty.


Onomatopoeia

• Does the phrase describe a sound in the text using a descriptive, spelled-out word such as “thud”?

No, the phrase has no form of sound.


From this brief analysis we can deduce that the phrase “her early leaf’s a flower” is a metaphor and uses some extent of personification.

An essay comparing 'the golden cat and cat and the moon' must begin with an engaging introduction and clear thesis statement, followed by body paragraphs with topic sentences and evidence, and end with a conclusion summarizing the main points and thesis. It should maintain an academic tone and be free of grammatical errors.

Writing a compelling essay entails constructing a solid framework that guides the reader through your arguments. The essay on 'the golden cat and cat and the moon' should start with an engaging introduction that includes a thesis statement clearly outlining the central argument or point of comparison between the two subjects. Following the introduction, the essay should have at least three body paragraphs. Each paragraph will begin with a topic sentence that sets the stage for the discussion and will support the main argument using quotes and credible evidence, as well as clear explanations of how this evidence supports your thesis. The comparison should use a coherent structure, whether point-by-point or block, and makes use of transitional phrases to smoothly switch between similarities and differences. The vocabulary selected should demonstrate a clear understanding of the terms with proper context within the essay to uphold an academic tone. The concluding paragraph will reaffirm the thesis statement in new words, briefly summarize the main arguments, and provide a compelling closure that encourages the reader to think critically about the subject. The essay should conform to high standards of grammar, punctuation, and style, without losing the originality and critical thought pertinent to good academic writing.

Besides, it was for my birthday( here is the passage)       And the answer is B. The tone of the letter is too informal and lacks details needed for a good resolution

Final answer:

An effective letter of complaint should have a clear structure, provide specific evidence for the complaints raised, and maintain a professional tone throughout. Formal language and a polished presentation reflect the seriousness of the letter and align with the rhetorical situation to persuade the recipient to address the concerns.

Explanation:

Evaluating the effectiveness of a letter of complaint depends on several factors including structure, tone, and specific detail. An effective letter should begin with a clear statement of purpose, move into a body containing three reasons backed by evidence to support the complaint, and maintain a professional tone throughout. Additionally, it should conclude with a polite closing and a signature. Keeping the tone polite and the details specific strengthens the likelihood of a successful resolution. Using a professional tone avoids informality, ensuring the letter is taken seriously. Formality is also important, manifested in avoiding contractions, slang, and intensifiers.

Regarding strategies to further the purpose of the letter, reminding the recipient of long-standing loyalty, presenting a history of responsible behavior, and implying a willingness to change service providers if the issue isn't addressed can be persuasive tactics. The letter should be structured so that it is aligned with the expectations of the reader and reflects a keen awareness of rhetorical situation.

In essence, a well-crafted letter presents a strong case without coming across as overly demanding or aggressive, which improves chances for a favorable outcome. Therefore, a formal, well-detailed, specific, and reasonable tone is crucial for the efficacy of a complaint letter.

We have a huge waste-management problem in the United States. On average, over the course of their lives, Americans will throw away 600 times their adult weight in garbage. That translates into a legacy of about 90,000 pounds of trash for a 150-pound adult. Where does all this trash go? Trash is burned, buried, dumped into bodies of water, or recycled. Only the last option is friendly to the environment.

By using materials more than once, we conserve natural resources and the energy needed to create and process new materials. Recycling also reserves landfill space for items that cannot be recycled. Some experts estimate that each ton of recycled paper can save 17 trees, over 300 gallons of oil, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, and 7,000 gallons of water.

Some students feel that the problem is too big to be solved. They do not believe that one person, one school, or even one community can make a difference. That is just not true, because students can do a great deal to help reduce waste. For one thing, students can start a recycling program at school. A committee comprised of students, teachers, administrators, and custodians should plan how to best collect, store, and transfer recyclable paper products. Students and teachers can deposit recyclable paper at a specific location in the classroom.

Figurative language is the use of words in a way that they have a strong impact on the reader. One of the figurative language strategies is the use of personification in which an object or an animal is given human characteristics. In this case, the best example of figurative language in the passage is D: At evening it hath died away. The reference of the pronoun it in the latter sentence is not clear, it can refer to the sun or to the haze. Either way, none the sun or the haze can die; they only dissapear or they move away, but the action of dying is human; therefore, this sentence represents a personification.

i think it is formal language

Answer:

formal language

Explanation:

If you are having a dinner with business clients, the best language style to use would be formal language.

1. "Her mother suggested that a bird had carried the spawn. Her father thought that in the winter a small streamlet might have carried it down there as a baby, and it had been safe until the summer came and the water began to dry up."

What realistic stories do the parents make up to explain the trout's presence? What happens to these stories? Why?

2. "Her brother remained behind, wanting to hear the whole story of the trout, not really interested in the actual trout but much interested in the story . . ."

What kind of story is Stephen interested in? Why? (Clue: Stephen doesn't really care about the welfare of the trout but only the kind of story that is told about it. What kind of story might that be?

3. "Passionately she had whirled and cried,'Mummy, don't make it a horrible old moral story!'

Why does Julia not want her mother to make the story of the trout one of the evils of disobedience? How is Julia beginning to feel about the trout?

4. "Her mummy had brought in a Fairy Godmother, then who sent lots of rain, and filled the well, and a stream poured out and the trout floated away down to the river below. Staring at the moon she knew that there are no such things as Fairy Godmothers and the trout, down in The Dark Walk, was panting like an engine."

Because Julia knows that "there are no such things as Fairy Godmothers," her perspective on the trout's situation changes. How does she now view the trout's situation?
