Lines of Demarcation

Lines of Demarcation

Israeli Perspective: This is where our messiah was born and this land was promised to us in our bible. 

 Palestinian Perspective: This land has been in their family for generations and the claim on the Israeli's part is not their belief. 

Housing settlements


Israeli Perspective: Just like the Lines of Demarcation thing, they believe that they have a right to build settlements on Palestinian land because the land was promised to them in their bible.  

 Palestinian Perspective: This is the land where they live and have lived for millions of years — they have a right to live here. 

Jerusalem

Israeli Perspective: This city contains our holiest spot — the Western Wall, so we deserve to have it, or at least that part of it. 

 Palestinian Perspective: Many of us also have religious connections here (it's the third holiest place for Muslims) and so we deserve to have it, or at least a part of it. 

Issue of Palestinian Refugees' right to return


Israeli Perspective: The Bible states that this is our holy land, so we're here. 

 Palestinian Perspective: We should be able to come back because this was our land originally before we were kicked out because of a religious text we don't believe in.

              101 people participated in the trial. 54 were in the treatment group. 47 were in the placebo group.      As a part of the FDA, I probably wouldn't approve this medicine. Even thought 100% (101/101) people got better, 11% had side effects. You have specified that that 11% had side effects, but we do not know what the side effects are. We can not approve the medicine until we understand that the side effects aren't harmful, and can be easily cured.            Also, were the participants all in the same nature and stage of the disease when they took the medicine? Did you use a double blind study, or any other method to ensure accuracy and precision? Accuracy and precision is very important during a clinical trial. Did each person in each group receive the same amount of placebo/treatment? The amount of medicine could have made a difference in results. Was the protocol approved by an et...

English Formative Reflection: Q1

 FORMATIVE LANGUAGE REFLECTION  My punctuation in all the sentence types are correct in all of the sentence types, but I could improve by being more precise. In both my complex and compound-complex sentences, I put an "of how" after my DMW in both. Removing this could definitely make my points more concise and more believable to a reader. Next time, I'd like to challenge myself by experimenting with different structures within the sentences. For joining independent clauses, I like to use the semicolon followed by a coordinating conjunction method. I would like to challenge myself next time to use FANBOYS instead, which would make my writing easier on the eye and would also make it more concise.  FORMATIVE SPEAKING REFLECTION The best part of the discussion was the "meat" of the discussion itself. Everyone came prepared, everyone had stuff to say with evidence to back it up. I feel we really got to broader ideas and it was fabulous. On the flip side...
