Document Summary

Invisibility is one of the most powerful dominant media narratives. Participation (and pleasure) activities: this is different than power and performance sports implies that you cannot draw pleasure out of power and participation sports, you should have a perspective on this!! Inclusive: sponsorship difficult to obtain and maintain, public and non-profit organizations rather than corporations sponsor, some corporations will sponsor as an overall emphasis on social responsibility. Physical activity practices: how will the value" of (non-sport) p. a. practices be determined, being in a professional space being closer to the practical physical activity knowledge. Picture of cow: shows performance body and most muscular body and if there was a complementary picture for humans, this would be it. We normalize assumptions about bodies that lead to the privileging to specific developments of body images they are open-ended. No, you would make the timing more specific by adding another digit to the time, to make it competitive again and it is open-ended.

That is an addition of 2 billion people. Energy agencies use population growth to help determine energy consumption. (Peak) Why does the world have such an increase in population? There are many things that aid in this growth, from newer medical technologies, cleanliness to food supply. Cheaper energy sources have also aided in this growth. As we look at energy sources, we need to realize that some are at its maximum of producing energy and that may affect the population growth. (Peak) Sometimes we have to make decisions without having all of the information we might need. When this happens how do we make a decision that takes everyone's best interests involved into account? Population predictions can often be difficult to accurately determine, yet in order to make decisions and plans about our local communities and the global community we have to make some imperfect predictions about future populations in order to attempt to allocate resources for future generations. As the population continues to increase, what happens to our energy resources? Are we depleting energy resources? In this discussion, think about what powers the world and discuss whether these resources are limited or not? Choose a new technology for power sources and discuss (some examples are Fusion, Solar Panels, Windmills, etc).

Prompt Now think about this on a more personal note and focus on yourself. If the world was running out of power sources, and you are asked to present your top 3 energy powered items that you would struggle losing (in your career and/or personal life)? If you had to limit your resources, which of these 3 would you choose to give up in order to keep your other 2 items that are power sourced?

Economists use economic models to guide their thinking in regards explaining and predicting that which is otherwise unknown. These models are generalizations that rest on assumptions we use in creating a simplified setting, where only that which is most-pertinent is allowed to come into play directly, and at the same time, that which is not pertinent is rendered excluded by being held constant. Simply put, if you change your founding assumptions, you change the model for you have changed the simplified setting. If you change a variable that is included directly into the model, you can then assume the variable changes marginally then trace out the effects of this marginal change on the variable being explained. Similarly, If you allow a change of a variable that has been excluded, you are relaxing an assumption so you can reason out what the effects of such a change could be.

What is important to understand here, is the description I have just relayed to you describes how economists use models. It is but one example of how models are used more-generally in ALL the other sciences and social sciences. And to go a step further, it is but a description or formalization of how we in an all-inclusive sense use assumptions when we are reasoning about that which we reason about. Our assumptions are our foundations for our thoughts about all that we consider in our efforts towards understanding the world in which we live and the people, both individually and collectively inclusive of their institutions, with whom we come into contact.

Using this knowledge, describe what you think are the dangers to our thinking and actions based on our thinking of our using simplifying assumptions that are wholly untrue or are too strong, too constricting, are way too over-generalizing. Choose whatever context you wish and provide an example. Then describe why having at the very least a small measure of skepticism may be considered healthy for one's own sake and the sake of others.
