Assignment 1.1: Conflicting Viewpoints Essay – Part I
Prewriting
Due Week 3 and worth 30 points

When looking for information about a particular issue, how often do you try to resist biases toward your own point of view? This assignment asks you to engage in this aspect of critical thinking by playing the “Believing Game.” The Believing Game is about making the effort to “believe” – or at least consider – the reasons for an opposing view on an issue.

The assignment is divided into two (2) parts.
In Part I of the assignment (due Week 3), you will first read a book excerpt about critical thinking processes: “The Believing Game and How to Make Conflicting Opinions More Fruitful” by Peter Elbow. Next, you will review the Procon.org Website in order to gather information. Then, you will engage in prewriting to examine your thoughts.

Note: In Part II of the assignment (due Week 5), you will write an essay geared towards synthesizing your ideas.

Part I – Prewriting: Follow the instructions below for this prewriting activity. Use complete sentences and adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.

  1. Select one (1) of the approved topics from the www.procon.org Website and state your position on the issue.
  2. From the Procon.org Website, identify three (3) premises (reasons) listed under either the Pro or Con section – whichever section opposes your position.
  3. For each of the three (3) premises (reasons) that oppose your position on the issue, answer these “believing” questions suggested by Elbow:
    1. What’s interesting or helpful about this view?
    2. What would I notice if I believed this view?
    3. In what sense or under what conditions might this idea be true?”

The paper should follow guidelines for clear and organized writing:

  • Include an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph.
  • Address main ideas in body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences.
  • Adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • This course requires use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.
  • This prewriting assignment has no page requirement. There is no requirement at this time to include references in the assignment.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Identify the informal fallacies, assumptions, and biases involved in manipulative appeals and abuses of language.
  • Create written work utilizing the concepts of critical thinking.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in critical thinking skills and informal logic.

Reading And Answering assignment

Phosphogypsum is a waste product of the phosphate fertilizer mining business — a major industry in the state of Florida. Phyosphogypsum is accumulating at multiple waste sites in around the state. The industry would like to put their phosphogypsum to use by incorporating it into various building materials, thus ridding themselves of the waste and potentially turning a profit on its sale. Recently, the EPA approved the use of phosphogypsum-containing materials in road construction. The decision is controversial because phosphogypsum contains radium, which means it will release radon into the air. The question is whether it will release enough radon to pose a health threat to humans. Read the following two articles and answer the questions below.

Q1: Suppose a new road surface material is invented that uses phosphogypsum as a major component, such that it contains a radium-226 concentration of approximately 200 Bq/kg. The manufacturer claims its new product is stronger than concrete and has the porosity of a typical brick (about 55%). What would be the approximate exhalation rate of radon-222 be from this novel material (in Bq m-2 h-1)?

Q2: How does the new product’s radon-222 exhalation rate compare to the radon exhalation of typical concrete?

Q3: Supposed a home builder mistakenly uses the phosphogypsum road product, thinking it’s ordinary concrete, to pour the basement foundation of a new home. Would the home be safe to live in?

[Note: You need no other information than what you’ve read in the two articles above, to answer these questions.]

please try answering the questions from your own words and don’t just copy from the articles even citation doesn’t work. my professor want you to paraphrase not just copy from the article.
