Write a thematic statement of “A Talk to Teachers” by James Baldwin, and write one rhetorical strategy that creates ethos. Explain why it is effective for the author's argument.
Answer:
Thematic statement: Education has been formulated and passed on to children as a way of molding them according to the standards imposed by society and within the concepts adopted as correct. This is a problem, since the main role of education should train enough thinking and rational beings to decide for themselves what is right or wrong within society.
Rhetorical strategy that creates ethos: It is correct for healthy education to be manipulative, but to encourage young people to reason and find a conclusion based on their own knowledge and realities.
Explanation:
In “A Talk to Teachers” by James Baldwin we can see that the author reflects on the role of education in society and how, in most cases, this role is disrespected by educational institutions in a country. This is because education has been established to manipulate and shape children according to what society believes is right. This is very dangerous, because in addition to not forming rational, perceptive and thinking adults, it can manipulate students into very destructive and disadvantageous concepts for humanity as a whole.
In this case, we must evaluate education by appealing to ethos, seeing that it is not part of ethics and morals, imposing concepts and ideologies on students, but rather stimulating and teaching them to understand the world around them and through critical reasoning to draw own conclusions.

A group of Environmental Science team travel 20 miles to a field to conduct measurements and observations,
due to floating the government improvise a rod for them, now they travel 8% less than usual. Calculate the number of miles they are traveling now?
Answer:
They now travel 18.4 miles
Explanation:
Given
[tex]Distance = 20\ miles[/tex]
[tex]\%\ Less = 8\%[/tex]
Required
Determine the new distance covered
First, we need to determine the reduced distance
This is calculated as thus:
[tex]Reduced\ Distance = 8\% * 20\ miles[/tex]
Convert % to decimal
[tex]Reduced\ Distance = 0.08 * 20\ miles[/tex]
[tex]Reduced\ Distance = 1.6\ miles[/tex]
Now, the new distance can be calculated;
[tex]New\ Distance = 20\ miles - 1.6\ miles[/tex]
[tex]New\ Distance = 18.4\ miles[/tex]
Hence; they now travel 18.4 miles
Tim wrote the following characteristics of two landforms.
Landform A: Has marshes and swamps
Landform B: Is formed when limestone bedrock dissolves
Which statement is most likely correct?
A) Landform A is a glacier and Landform B is a ridge.
B) Landform A is a plateau and Landform B is a river.
C) Landform A is a wetland and Landform B is a karst landform.
D) Landform A is a karst landform and Landform B is a mountain.
Answer:
C). Landform A is a wetland and Landform B is a karst landform.
Explanation:
As per the given descriptions, the third statement is most likely to be correct as it matches the characteristics of 'wetland and karst landform.' Wetland is described as the landform which is covered mostly with water, with occasional marshy and soggy areas. Thus, it contains marshes and swamps while Karst is a type of land formation, usually with many caves formed through the dissolving of limestone by underground drainage which leads to dissolution of bedrock. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Answer: Cognitive
Explanation:
Cognitive psychology focuses on the mind and the processes involved therein. It focuses therefore on mental processes which include but are not limited to, attention, memory, thought process and creativity.
Popular cognitive psychological disorders include amnesia, dementia and depression. Given that there is medicine that is aimed at slowing memory loss in the case of dementia and antidepressants for depression, it can be surmised that from a Cognitive perspective, medication can be recommended by a psychologist.

the mean salary of all workers?
Answer:
Explanation:
It must be between the 2 given salaries whatever the ratio of males workers to female workers is.
The mean salary of all workers will be between $35000 and $41000.
What is mean?The mean is the average of a data set. Mean gives us the idea of that how much amount of overall data have.
In other words, the mean is the foundation of the deviation of data from all data sets.
Mean = sum of data / Number of data
The mean of a and b is (a + b)/2. ; a < b
Then,
a < (a + b)/2 > b
It means the mean of any two values always occurs in between them.
So the mean for all workers will be between $35000 and $41000.
Hence "The mean salary of all workers will be between $35000 and $41000".
