C13	<p class="ng-scope" zoompage-fontsize="14"> Bernard Winkler's analysis of the effect of the industrialization of England on the conduct of British foreign policy through the course of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is a major contribution to a scholarly debate pitting two separate schools of historical thought against each other: the school of economic determinism and the school of ideological determinism.p> <p class="ng-scope" zoompage-fontsize="14"> Winkler makes the assertion that economic and technological developments play a decisive role in military mobilization and logistical organization. Stated more simply, economic development makes extensive foreign interventions inevitable by making them simpler. Winkler implies this phenomenon has been obfuscated by a recent fondness on the part of historians for ideological explanations, of which George Nguyen's is a representative example. For Nguyen, the economic possibility of a foreign action is insignificant compared to ethnic, religious, or socio-political motivations for pursuing a course of action abroad. Economic development is construed as a mere facilitator of extant international grievances and desires such as border disputes, enmity between competing religious sects, and long-term foreign policy goals. This contention represents a significant trend in academic historiography, and it is known as ideological determinism.p> <p class="ng-scope" zoompage-fontsize="14"> Ideological determinists entrench themselves by embracing a mistaken interpretation of economic determinism: for example, economic determinists are supposed to contend that economic development is responsible for all the various subtleties of foreign policy implementation. The alternative to ideological determinism, to say it another way, is to see economics as coextensive with society, as being responsible for even the most minor variations in social phenomena.p> <p class="ng-scope" zoompage-fontsize="14"> Winkler undermines the misrepresentations of the ideological determinists by means both conceptual and concrete. Conceptually, he defines “economic causes” according to the interactions of industrialization with extant political and sociological realities. Descriptions of sociological and political phenomena as wholly divorced from economic factors are untenable because a state can hardly feed its armies on ideas alone. On a more concrete level, Winkler shows that rapid advances in economic production opened new vistas for political interpretation, religious expression, international relations, and the organization of armies. Some developments Winkler attributes to the ways politicians and bodies politic reacted to the new realities of industrialization, whereas others are attributed to industrialization itself. Therefore, Winkler responds to the question: “When are economic causes decisive and when are the interpretations of changing economic realities more significant?”p>

Ready4	<p class="ng-scope"> Linguists have offered two explanations describing the origins of language among human populations. Because the use of language is universal among ethno-cultural groups and distinct from any communicative capacity developed elsewhere in the animal kingdom, both explanations assert that the biological evolution of the human organism has exerted some influence on the development of language.p> <p class="ng-scope"> Proponents of explanation A, or the “continuity theory,” take issue with the suggestion that the development of language occurred fairly suddenly in the course of human evolution. Observations have shown that non-human animals communicate, even in surprisingly complex ways, within kin groups and across species. Human language is incredibly complex and it is difficult to assert that such a complex system could have developed without a long series of evolutionary iterations. Thus it is useful to consider the communication methods of other organisms as analogues to the possible stages of human linguistic development. Scientists have also suggested that human communicative capacities are evolutionary adaptations similar to echolocation among bats or stereopsis among lesser primates: unique abilities particular to the human organism but nonetheless the product of long-form evolutionary processes.p> <p class="ng-scope"> However, explanation A is not uncontroversial. Critics point out that human language far outstrips the complexity of any known animal communication mechanism and that, therefore, any hypothesis emphasizing iterative development is of limited explanatory utility. They argue that any evolutionary development as unprecedented as human language must have a comparably unprecedented explanation. They support explanation B, “the discontinuity theory,” which can be understood in multiple ways.p> <p class="ng-scope"> Language, some proponents of explanation B argue, requires an advanced cognitive capacity that pre-human primates (hominids) did not possess. Modern humans achieved language function through the relatively abrupt development of advanced brain anatomy, the “language organ.” This development is supposedly the result of a significant mutation within the human genome. Sudden mutations often have negative effects, making this instance all the more peculiar. Another understanding of the “discontinuity theory” suggests the sudden development of language among human populations is due to a social revolution among early human communities. Even if early human populations had already developed the capacity for language, it went undeveloped until social and cultural factors demanded otherwise. Early human communities can be compared to naturally talented basketball players whose skills go unrecognized until they're scouted by a perceptive coach.p>
Magoosh	Throughout last year, a stylish jacket had a full price of P in a certain store. At the beginning of this year, the price of the jacket rose A% percent to this year's full price. Shortly after the beginning of this year, this store had a sale, and Jessica bought the jacket at B% less than this year's current full price, where B > A. How much did Jessica save, buying the jacket this year on sale, as compared to what she would have spent last year?Statement #1: P = $250Statement #2: B – A = 5

C13	<p class="ng-scope"> Scientists have long known that two brain structures lying below the rostrum of the corpus callosum, called septal nuclei (SNs), play a significant role in human pleasure response. This part of the brain interacts with many other elements of the limbic system, which regulates fear expression and other forms of emotional response. Studies show that in some animals, most notably rats, electrical stimulation of SNs can motivate self-stimulation, causing them to perform such behaviors as manipulating levers or returning to regions of their housing that administer further electrical stimulation. Furthermore, connections between the SNs and portions of the brain dedicated to olfaction and memory retention have also been discovered.p> <p class="ng-scope"> Several other neural structures have been found to play a role in governing the brain's emotional responses, however, not just the SNs of rats and humans. In fact, when laboratory rats had electrical stimulation applied to their habenular nuclei, pleasure responses shifted by 30 percent, whereas the same electrical shock applied to the SNs produced a lesser result. While scientists remain convinced that SNs play a role in the brain's regulation of fear, sadness, joy, and pleasure response, scientists now believe that other neural structures may respond more forcefully to stimulation—even if the voltage of the shock administered doesn't change—than the septal nuclei.p>
Ready4	<p class="ng-scope"> Autoethnographic writing, in accounting for the subjectivities through which observers engage with culture, encourages researchers to accept the experiences of engaged participants as contributing to academic epistemology, alongside the use of “impartial” observation, in substantial and meaningful ways. These methods, unlike those of a more traditional or empirical bent, document the lived experiences of researchers as they confront cultural externalities, acknowledge the limitations of so-called objective science, and present the anxieties felt by cultural subjects as meaningful realities, mattering both to the individual and in a broader social context.p> <p class="ng-scope"> Practitioners of autoethnography should beware, however, of thinking that their experiences are commonplace. Autoethnographic documents come no closer to the establishment of universal truth than more conventional research methods. Moreover, even when some biases are acknowledged, autoethnography is subject to a suite of prejudices and cultural influences, as well as subconscious personal tendencies, of which a researcher may not be fully cognizant. An experience had at a certain age, for example, may condition a researcher to respond to a given circumstance in a highly idiosyncratic way. Thus, an autoethnographer who writes that an adult experience played a major role in her development of ethnic or gendered consciousness might unwittingly disregard earlier experiences that were ultimately more formative.p>
