Description M5: JOURNAL - Chapter 7 (J-09) Be sure to explain your answers and give reasons for your views. You should cite the textbook and use brief quotations and summaries from the textbook in your response. Do NOT use any other sources besides the textbook. Do you agree with the expression theory of art? Is art simply an expression of feelings? Is abstract art an expression of feelings? Does an art object have to serve a function to be art? Are art objects valuable in themselves, without any functions? Explain. Answer the question on page 345 concerning controversial art. Critique Arthur Danto's institutional theory of art. One criticism of it is that if people in the artworld define what is and is not art, then there seems to be no way for the decision-makers to decide among themselves what is art. Is this a fair criticism? Why or why not? According to Aristotle, what emotions should a tragedy evoke? What is the point of evoking them? Explain Hume's view on art and the standard of taste. Do you agree with Hume that some people are more keenly attuned to art objects and that their aesthetic sensibilities are more "delicate"? Or, is he just being a snob?

Would it be morally permissible to torture the soldier to get him to reveal the bomb's location? Suppose you have also captured the prisoner's children. Would it be morally permissible to torture them to get him to reveal the bomb's location? What principles could the Utilitarian and the Deontologist appeal to in determining to do the right thing?
Description INSTRUCTIONS Use your course texts to help you respond to the topic, and when you quote and summarize from the course texts, include information about the page reference. Textbook Title: Philosophy Here and Now: Powerful Ideas in Everyday Life Edition: Fourth (4th) Author: Lewis Vaughn Publisher: Oxford University Press Copyright: 2021 Topic for your Essay Essay Length tips--To answer these topics completely, it takes about 2 pages - 8-10 paragraphs. Use the topic questions and the scoring rubric to see if your draft responds fully to all parts of the question. A complete thoughtful answer is more important than word count. Topic A: What is the fallacy of Straw Man? How is it different than simply disagreeing with someone else’s point of view? Use the material in Vaughn's book to help you give a detailed explanation of what the mistake in a Straw Man is. To demonstrate your understanding and to teach the idea to the rest of the class, provide a relevant real-life example of the logical mistake. (You MAY use an outside source to help you present your example; be sure to summarize or paraphrase, cite, and use announcing verbs.) Choose carefully - consider whether your example does a good job of illustrating a Straw Man. Compare it to similar fallacies, and show why your example is a Straw Man rather than another fallacy like an Appeal to the Person. The discussion of your example should be detailed so that readers can evaluate the fallacy. Argue the case for why your example is an example of Straw Man.
Description Philosophy Questions: I have long argued that not every student comes to a class to learn. This is because education is usually a difficult (painful) process that requires a student to take full, personal responsibility to move from darkness (ignorance) to light (enlightenment). So, instead, many students take a class only to earn a grade (preferably an "A") and will blame the professor, their circumstance, or everyone else for their failure. The movement from darkness to light is addressed in Plato's "Allegory of the Cave." Your assignment is to draw from your readings, watch this brief video, and respond to all the following questions: Discuss the meaning and moral lesson of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave” and relate in the real world as to why is it difficult to convince some people that what they think they know is caused not by their free will but by mere trickery (or illusion) caused by others? Give real world examples. What have you learned in this course that would support the notion that human beings are sometimes manipulated by "puppet masters" (artists, architects, musicians, writers, poets, movie makers, politicians, philosophers, religious leaders, etc.)? Address different logical fallacies and how this relates as to how human beings sometimes become manipulated. How much have you learned about yourself and especially what could be happening to your ability to think critically?

Description Choose two rhetorical concepts from any of the following: Foucault, Derrida, Cixous, or Anzaldua (in this week’s readings). What early rhetorical theories seem most aligned with and divergent from these concepts? What does that say about our changing assumptions about rhetoric?
Description MAKE ORGANIZED NOTES AND COMMENT ON SPECIFIC SENTENCES OF THE PAPER. Instructions for written peer review: In class you will receive a paper copy of another student’s draft. You will be writing on their draft as well as attaching additional comments. These comments can be typed or handwritten, and a copy of the comments will be uploaded to this assignment. Write your name on the draft you are about to review, and if you need to attach any additional paper, write your name on that too. Go through each of the following steps for each draft, and when you are finished share your comments with the author and be available to clarify anything you wrote. If the paper has a thesis, rewrite the thesis in your own words. Could you believe this, if you were given the right evidence? If so, the thesis is supportable. Now write the opposite of the thesis. Could you believe this? If so, the thesis is debatable. Now evaluate how rich or thoughtful the thesis is. Does it make you want to read a long paper? (If you feel that you know what the author will say without reading the whole paper, the thesis is probably not rich enough.) If the paper has no thesis yet, write down at least three possible theses the paper could have. Throughout the paper, flag anything that you don’t understand. The author should be explaining their sources so that you can understand them without having to read them yourself. Throughout the paper, flag anything that you disagree with. If the author is making a controversial claim, they should be arguing for it, or explaining why they won’t argue for it (for example, because they want to assume it is true for the purposes of their paper). The goal here is not that any reader would agree with everything in the end, the goal is that the author realizes when they need to provide argument or explanation. At the end of reading the paper, write down any questions the paper has brought up for you. These will be possible things the author can explore as they expand their draft. What things should be discussed that the author hasn’t talked about yet? If there was a thesis, what types of things should the author say in order to convince you that the thesis is true?
Description Be sure to explain your answers and give reasons for your views. You should cite the textbook and use brief quotations and summaries from the textbook in your response. Do NOT use any other sources besides the textbook. Question: Does it matter to you whether you have free will? Would your behavior change if you believed (or didn't believe) that all your actions were determined by forces beyond your control? Title: Philosophy Here and Now: Powerful Ideas in Everyday Life
Description Review Questions: Chapter 1 Describe two important features of the scientific method. Provide an example of (1) how social and cultural factors can influence psychologists' choice of research topics and (2) how sociocultural factors can influence society's acceptance of research results. Describe how ethnocentric bias can be a problem in research and suggest a way researchers can prevent this bias. Describe two ethical dilemmas that psychologists may face when conducting research. What are the three initial steps researchers take when starting a research project? Identify two reasons why it is important to look in the psychological research literature when beginning research.

What is the main advantage of using operational definitions in psychology? What two criticisms have been made of the use of operational definitions? What is the difference between the validity and reliability of an instrument? Identify the four goals of the scientific method and briefly describe what each is intended to achieve.
