Homework 3.3 and 3.4

3.3

READ (and comment): Read at least two of your colleagues’ Unit 3 proposals, and comment on them. Comments should be at least 100 words. Please do not simply say “sounds great!” because that is not helpful! Think about the kind of things that might be helpful to you as you embark on this project. Here are some ideas:

A specific publication or website you think the author could write for
A question or comment to help narrow down the audience: “You say you want young people to watch this video essay, but there’s no publication that all young people watch. Are you actually trying to reach New Yorkers?”
A question or comment to help narrow down the genre: “There are a lot of different kinds of articles in the world. You could be writing for a newspaper like the New York Times or a website like Buzzfeed, and the writing is totally different for both. Can you be more specific?”
You can also just talk about things in the proposal you find especially cool or exciting.

WRITE: Answer the “Know Your Publication” Questions for the publication/site/location where YOU would like to publish your Unit 3 assignment if you could.

Unit 3 Proposal

What I would like to teach my audience is the importance of Artificial Intelligence and why it can have a major impact on everyones lives. The reason why I want to teach about AI is because I personally find it amazing on how it works and I also know the importance of AI for society as a whole. I wanna reach an audience that is not too educated on the technology side of the world and show them why they should have an interest like I do. The genre I plan on using is a sci-fi genre that has a fictional story with real life facts that I can use. I chose this genre because I want a story that is interesting to readers so that they keep invested in it to learn about AI while they are reading. Fictional stories are also one of the main genres readers read. My plan to getting started is to start to create characters and their background and also the main point of the story and how it will teach the audience the importance of AI. I will also create a timeline and what happens at certain points in the timeline. My first step would be to brainstorm the main characters life and what he or she will be doing throughout the story. The only things that I will worry about is the research that I will have to do to make sure that what I tell in the story is accurate to real facts in the real world.

HW 3.1

In studies where a stranger approach was taken, the wolves exhibited more avoidance behavior compared to dogs, and instances of aggression were more common in pet dogs. Researchers, Friederike Range and Sarah Marshall-Pescini of the Konrad Lorenz Institute of Ethology at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna wrote, “Only in tests involving access to resources did four of 16 wolves consistently show aggression toward humans, while none of the 11 dogs did. Studies using a stranger’s threatening approach found more avoidance behavior in adult wolves than in dogs and more occurrences of aggression in (pet) dogs.” Overall, these findings indicate differences in how the wolves and the dogs react to resource related situations and threatening approaches. The wolves displayed more aggression in resource-related tests and the dogs showed more aggression in response to threatening strangers.
