Write an essay in which you demonstrate how Maggie Koerth would respond to Maia Szalavitz’s thesis: “Our emotions push us to make snap judgments that once were sensible—but may not be anymore.” Would she agree or disagree with Szalavitz? Why? And how would you respond to the two writers’ explorations of the ways our brain responds to risk, threat, and the unknown, along with the kind of cognitive bias which lead us astray as we try to make sense of the world? You are required to use the sources, including the results of the quiz (“How good is your grasp of risk?”), reasoning, and examples from lived experience or observation to develop your thesis.
