I have heard and know a little bit about AARP and know it is for people aged 50 and older and stands for American Association of Retired Persons. Although I have never gone to the website or researched anything about it, there is a lot of information. The first piece of information I learned was there was a link to help for grandparents who are raising their grandchildren. There is legislation that will provide information about services for families, with more focus on those impacted by the opioid crisis. I learned under the Personal Technology tab that an iPhone update will speed emergency response so that 911 callers can be tracked more quickly. Under the Home tab, there was a link with an article about inheriting a home and what you need to do next and make sure it isn’t a money pit. I also learned that the veterans suicide rate as rose over the last decade and that veterans are nearly twice as likely as nonveterans to commit suicide. I also learned what one couple who has been married for 75 years says is the success of marriage. The couple says that it is important to be nice to one another, make each other laugh, never go to bed with a grudge and always kiss each other goodnight. Lastly, I also read about how the AARP Foundation Experience Corps also helped 31,000 children to become better readers. There is a lot of useful and interesting links and information on the website.

In the article “A Scientific Argument for the Existence of God,” Collins considers three possible theories in light of the apparent “fine tuning” of the universe: the atheistic single-universe hypothesis, the atheistic many-universes hypothesis, and the theistic hypothesis. He then argues that the third hypothesis is far more probable than either of the first two. Are you convinced by Collins’s argument? Why or why not?

Describe the method of selecting a jury and provide your opinion as to whether the system is adequate and fair.

And are juries really necessary? Many legal systems throughout the world do not use juries to decide civil or criminal cases. Should the jury system be dispensed with in the United States? If so, why? If not, why not? Putting any constitutional rights to a trial by jury aside, why couldn't judges themselves simply decided cases themselves?

Discussion Question:
What do you think is the most important factor in communicating through your writing? Think of the comments you get from professors, or the problems you seem to have in writing. Do they map onto any of the factors you've read about?

Here's an example of one of my classmate response....
I feel that with writing being such a common way of communicating it is important to be as proficient as possible. To be able to do so it truly helps to understand the processes involved. After understanding the processes, you can come to utilize them within your writing to communicate effectively. For example, the word skipping issue in reading is something that also affects my writing. Word skipping is one of the biggest problems I have in reading and writing. Like stated in the textbook, short words such as “an” and “the” are more likely to be skipped. When writing sometimes I will repeat short words without even realizing it. When proofreading my writing to uncover mistakes like that I will just skip right over them without even realizing it and the mistake remains in my writing. One of my English teachers advised me to read through my writing backwards because this would ensure that I read it word per word and would likely not skip over any words. This advice helped me with detecting repeated short words that I usually skipped over.
