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.

How important are chromosomes in our development? We know that chromosomes transmit all the information as to who we are to become both physically and chemically, and they pass on important characteristics such as handedness, height, weight and hair color – but how important are they to helping us become who we are? Is nature more important than nurture? Is there anything we can do that changes our chromosomes? Could this help or hinder us in our development? What happens when one of these chromosomes goes awry?

Note* - You must have 250 words in your response and cite any sources that you use to answer the question. (it might be easier to copy information online then citing it afterwards)

How did the words of Edward R. Murrow affect you and your understanding of the Red Scare?

Discuss how "reality television" differs in its portrayal of communication and families in the 1960s compared with those of today. Provide examples from contemporary reality television shows that feature families in your response.

Compare/contrast the portrayal of gender roles both then (1960s) and now. What influence does the media's portrayal of gender roles have on society's expectations for the communication of males and females in the family context?

In the documentary, Ellen Robertson critiqued the lack of attention devoted to her family's 'real' problems in "TV Family" in the following statement: "Family sticks together through difficult times. Life's not perfect...and that's when you need family the most." Discuss how the media shapes our perception of family struggles and conflict. (Not Psychology but it's the closest subject)

two examples of global issues that can overlap between the classical school and Rational choice theory in criminology

1. After doing the textbook (Rachels) reading, and reading John Searle’s article, how would you, in your own words, summarize the basic arguments of the Mind-Brain Identity Theory? What are the basic arguments here (and make specific reference to the readings in your answer)?

2. In general, as you described it in Question #1 above, do you find yourself agreeing or disagreeing with “Mind-Brain Identity Theory” as an explanation for subjective experiences? Explain why (and remember that when assessing arguments, you are examining the logic and evidence).

3. Here is another relevant TedTalk. This one relates back to the “split-brain” experiences you read about for Wednesday. It’s a fascinating talk by brain researcher Jill Bolte Taylor, discussing her own such “split-brain” experience (as the result of a stroke).

After watching the video, can you, in your own words, relate Taylor’s experiences to the discussion of personal identity and mind-body? What do her experiences say to each of these issues? Do they seem to support specific theories, such as Bundle Theory and Mind-Brain Identity Theory? Explain why, or why not.
