write a brief discussion post in which you summarize (first paragraph) and reflect upon (second paragraph) one of the primary readings located at the end of Chapter Two. Select from Mill (pp. 59-61), Kant (pp. 62-67), Aristotle (pp. 67-78), Baier (pp. 78-86), or Wolf (pp. 86-94).
To avoid plagiarism, you should always provide citations for any quoted or paraphrased materials; please list reference(s) for the textbook and other sources at the bottom of your post. See “A note about plagiarism” for more details and citation resources.
Some of the discussion activities in this class are required to be written; these are basically one-page “reflection papers” in which you will practice summarizing one of the primary readings in a clear and charitable manner and then responding in a critical, yet civil, manner. Guidelines for writing these posts are below. Note: a grading rubric is also provided with a break-down of how points will be awarded for each discussion activity.
Paragraph explaining a specific philosophical idea or argument in the text
In this first paragraph you should explain in your own words the main idea or argument presented in one of the assigned readings. Our textbook provides examples of what a good summary looks like in the editor’s introduction to each of the reading selections, but keep in mind that you are expected to do your own work. Be sure to identify the author’s name and the title of the reading, so that your reader can be certain what it is you are writing about. Because this summary is only supposed to be one paragraph in length, your aim is to write concisely so as to give your reader a clear picture of the idea/reasoning you are reflecting upon. Try to write in such a way that someone who didn’t do the reading could understand what it is about. The main goal in this first section is to demonstrate that you have (1) carefully read and (2) sincerely attempted to comprehend the reading about which you have chosen to write for this discussion activity.
Paragraph reflecting on a specific philosophical idea or argument in the text
In this second paragraph you should reflect upon the specific philosophical idea or line of reasoning which you identified in the previous section. The main goal here is to explain what you think about it and to say why you think what you do. Since this part of the assignment is about you and your response to the reading, there isn’t one way to write this part of your paper. If you feel uninspired you might respond, for example, to these kinds of questions: Do you agree with the idea or argument? Why or why not?; How does it connect to other material we’ve been discussing in class?; Does it have a bearing on other aspects of your life, such as what you are learning in other classes or relevant happenings outside of class?; What questions do you have about the reasoning? Why are these important questions to resolve?

Case Study Part 1: Homeostasis
Nick, a 30-something self-confirmed couch potato who loved to watch sports, eat snacks, and relax as much as possible on the weekends, was shocked when his father was rushed to the ER with a heart attack.
“I’ve got to make some changes,” declared Nick to his wife, Ashley. “This could be me in the near future!”
Nick’s dad pulled through and began a post heart attack regimen of controlled exercise, diet, and stress reduction. Nick decided to follow suit and make healthy changes as well. He substituted his fatty, salty snacks with healthy alternatives, reduced his meal portions, and began walking every day. The walking gradually evolved into running and before long, Nick lost a good deal of weight and was ready to run his first 5K race.
Nick arrived about an hour before the race on a sunny, summer Saturday morning. The temperature was 82℉ and the air was dry. Nick felt relaxed and began his planned pre-race stretches. Nick’s heart rate was 70 beats per minute, his breathing rate was 12 breaths per minute, and he felt that he had consumed a good amount of fluid.
As race time grew near, Nick began to join the crowd of runners near the starting line. Serious runners jockeyed for position near the starting line, but since this was Nick’s first race, he decided to choose a position near the middle of the pack.
“I hope I can make it and don’t make a complete fool of myself,” thought Nick. Ashely along with some of Nick’s friends was gathered on the side cheering Nick. Nick’s heart rate had increased to 90 beats per minute and his breathing rate increased to 18 breaths per minute. His mouth was dry.
The starting gun signaled the start of the race and Nick was off. Surrounded by more experienced runners, Nick found he was running at an extremely fast pace in an attempt to keep up.
About 2K into the race, Nick’s heart rate had increased to 190 beats per minute and his breathing had increased to rhythm of 30 breaths per minute and he was beginning to gasp for breath. His body temperature had increased to 100℉ and he began to sweat.
“I have to slow down!” thought Nick. “I have to remind myself that I have nothing to prove here, and this is just my first race.”
Nick slowed his pace to almost a walk and fell back with the slower runners. After a few minutes of walking, he caught his breath and began jogging at his usual training pace. Nick’s heart rate was now a more comfortable 140 beats per minute and his breathing rate was a rhythmic 20 breaths per minute. Nick wiped the sweat out of his eyes and continued at this pace for the remainder of the race. After the race, Nick’s body temperature returned to normal, and he was very thirsty.
Case Study Questions: Homeostasis
Describe how homeostasis and feedback mechanisms work to control Nick’s heart rate (Nervous System), breathing rate (Respiratory System), and body temperature (Integument and Nervous System) before the race, just before the start of the race, after the first 2K and at the end of the race.
What could Nick do to reduce the stress on his body for the next race? Explain your answer.
Case Study Part 2: Chemistry
Angel was driving through the mountains to see her grandmother who had recently taken ill. At one point, high in the mountains, she lost her navigation, but she found a map on her phone and decided to take a shortcut that should save her close to 30 minutes of time.
The snow began first as flurries and then developed into a blizzard. Angela had to pull off the narrow, isolated road as she decided to wait out the storm. Unfortunately, the mountain pass became snowed in, and Angela had to survive in her car for 10 days before she was rescued.
Angela was able to stay somewhat warm in her car and melt enough snow to stay hydrated. However, she had no food. Angela’s body was deprived of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins for 10 days.
Case Study Questions: Chemistry
Describe what would happen to Angela’s body in response to being deprived of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Include the roles of each in the human body.
In addition to weight loss, what other problems could occur in Angela’s body?

Goal:
to summarize the content of the paper in a style appropriate for a scientific conference. Take the point of view of the authors of the paper and explain what was done, how it was done, and why it was done.
Do not try to criticise the weaknesses or evaluate the importance. Leave that for the class discussion.
How to Present a Paper
Evaluation
50% Did the presentation accurately summarize the important points from the paper, including background information from additional sources if appropriate?
25% Was the material presented clearly and in a well-organized way?
10% Were the slides clear and readable and appropriate?
5% Was the level of explanation appropriate, not too difficult and not too simple?
5% Were the timing and pacing right, and was the speaker loud enough and understandable? 5% Did the speaker project enthusiasm and make the subject interesting?
Time limit: 20-30 min. You will lose points for going over or under the time limits.
Organization for Presenting Results and Discussion
Title: The first slide should have the title of the paper, the authors of the paper, and your name. Results: Present and explain the most significant results from the paper (using figures and tables
from the paper). You can’t cover all the figures if there are too many. Summarize the
conclusions for each result and explain how the results lead to those conclusions. Discussion: Summarize the overall conclusions from the paper, as stated in the discussion. Also
cover any other important points from the discussion, such as how it relates to other
research or plans for future experiments.
References: Add a final reference slide if you used information from sources other than the paper.
here the link to the article but I uploaded a pdf of it 2 just in case :https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-05834-x#Abs1

This is a scientific writing paper, the file i attached below was written by yall, its a rough draft. Now i just need the Abstract, Results, Discussion and figures. I will provide as much information as i can.
You will be preparing your first complete draft of your paper that is about the plant competition experiment we have started. In addition to the Title, Introduction and Methods sections that you wrote for your first draft, this complete draft should include an Abstract, Results, Discussion, and Figures sections. You will incorporate at least five primary literature resources into the Introduction or Discussion, and you will create a References section formatted in APA style with at least five primary literature sources. You are responsible for incorporating feedback from your IA that you received on your first draft.
Below, you can see descriptions for each of the sections you will be adding to this draft.
Abstract: This is a paragraph that goes between your title and your introduction. The abstract is a summary of your paper. It should briefly introduce your topic of interest, your methods, results, and conclusions. It should not have citations.
Results: You will write your results based on the statistical tests you completed using the Data Explorer in lab. You should include information on what differences you found between treatment groups as well as whether or not they were significant. To report your statistics, you might write something like: “There was/was not a significant different in the mean number of flowers produced per plant across the seed planting density treatments (ANOVA: F(2, 242) = xx.xxx; P = 0.xxxx; Figure 1).” (For your information: The bolded numbers in parentheses are called the “degrees of freedom” and are related to the sample size – 1 of the number of treatments (the first number) and the number of replicates (pots planted and measured; the second number). These come from the tables provided in the results). Fill in the xxx with the values from the document.
Discussion: Your discussion section should be where you describe your interpretation of your results. If you found that your results were significant, what does this say about the effect of intraspecific competition on Brassica rapa? How do your results compare to results of similar studies (that you may have discussed in your introduction)? What would you do differently if you were to repeat this experiment? If you were to continue research on this topic, what questions might you ask in additional experiments?
Figures: You should include two figures to show your results for each of the two variables you tested. These will be the figures you generated with the HHMI Data Explorer. Each figure should have a figure legend that provides information about what is shown in the figure, and it will include any necessary info that isn’t in the graphic.
