From the pages you read in the LBH, perform the exercise 39.1 on page 548-49, 39.2 on pg. 550 on your own sheets of paper (which you do not need to turn in). Then perform exercise 39.4 on page 552 as your blog response.
Performing these exercises should be immensely beneficial for most of you and your future papers.

He concluded that carcinogens should be regarded similarly to automobiles. Instead to giving into fear of disease, we should weigh the pros and cons of carcinogens. This is the nature of most automobile discussions. Instead of focusing on the negative aspects of automobiles, we improve them for global benefit.
ReplyDeleteEventually, he realized carcinogens can be appropriately compared to an automobile. While there are negative side effects that carcinogens can contribute to, they are still immensely beneficial to society as a whole. This is the same with any automobile. Though cars have some depressing consequences, like air pollution, they are still immeasurably helpful in daily life.
ReplyDeleteHe states that we should treat carcinogens similarly to how we treat automobiles. That instead of fearing the negative effects, to move pass them and to work with them to create a possible solution or solutions.
ReplyDeleteHe concluded that carcinogens can be compared to the use of automobiles. The fear of cancer or other negative side effects from the products we use shouldn't keep us from seeing the benefits we get from them. It would be better to find ways to improve the products rather than not using them at all.

ReplyDeleteHe argues that rather than looking at the negativity carcinogens cause, we should embrace the benefits. Improvement on the products to make them environmentally friendly should be the main focus.
ReplyDeleteHe came to the conclusion that carcinogens, cancer-causing substances, should be regarded similarly to the automobile. All aspects of the problem should be considered in both the good and the bad benefits, and decide if the benefits out way the damage. Either society lives with the damage and tries to fix it or not use the recourse at all.

He came to the conclusion that carcinogens are similar to the automobile. We should consider all aspects of the problems and damage received from potential carcinogens.Instead of responding irrationally to the automobile, we should work to improve it for the benefit of society.
Carcinogens are concluded to be similar to situations like the automobile. Instead of allowing irrational decisions based on fear, we should thoroughly think about the benefits the products have produced and continue improving the negatives for the benefits of society.
ReplyDeleteHe came to the conclusion that carcinogens should be compared to the automobile. As a society, we shouldn't just be looking at the negative sides of carcinogens. Society should look at the benefits and take in account both sides rather than ruling it our soley based on fear. We should gather all information and see if the good out ways the bad and if it does, find a way to improve it and better the society.

Exercise 39.4
Original
At the end of a lengthy line of reasoning, he came to the conclusion that the situation with carcinogens [cancer- causing substances] should be regarded as similar to the situation with the automobile. Instead of giving in to an irrational fear of cancer, we should consider all aspects of the problem in a balanced and dispassionate frame of mind, making a total of the benefits received from potential carcinogens (plastics, pesticides, and other similar products) and measuring said total against the damage done by such products. This is the nature of most discussions about the automobile. Instead of responding irrationally to the visual, aural, and air pollution caused by automobiles, we have decided to live with them (while simultaneously working to improve on them) for the benefits brought to society as a whole.
Revised:
After a lot of consideration, he concluded that the situation with carcinogens, cancer- causing substances, should be considered similar to the situation with the automobile. Instead of giving in to a fear of cancer, we should consider all aspects of potential carcinogens and the damage done by them in a calm and balanced mindset. This is the nature of most discussions about the automobile. Instead of irrationally responding to the air pollution, we have decided to live with the automobiles, while working to improve them, because of the benefits they bring to society.
Deductive reasoning solidified the conclusion that carcinogens, much like modern day vehicles, have many pros and cons. In relation to the two he has figured out no matter how distructive they seem to be we fix them to make them more user friendly, ultimately due to their benefits to society as a whole.
