    GRE essay

    hi, every one,am close to writing my GRE exam,so I practiced this argument essay,and wanted a review of my practice. The following appeared as part of a letter to the editor of a scientific journal. "A recent study of eighteen rhesus monkeys provides clues as to the effects of birth order on an individual's levels of stimulation. The study showed that in stimulating situations (such as an encounter with an unfamiliar monkey), firstborn infant monkeys produce up to twice as much of the hormone cortisol, which primes the body for increased activity levels, as do their younger siblings. Firstborn humans also produce relatively high levels of cortisol in stimulating situations (such as the return of a parent after an absence). The study also found that during pregnancy, first-time mother monkeys had higher levels of cortisol than did those who had had several offspring." Write a response in which you discuss one or more alternative explanations that could rival the proposed explanation and explain how your explanation(s) can plausibly account for the facts presented in the argument. My response as follows; This study about the birth order and an individuals level of stimulation is interesting however looking at the facts here the level of stimulation is solely based on the hormone cortisol which I don’t think it’s the only hormone involved in stimulating an individual, there could be other important hormones that possibly play a role in it which can be a joint effort with the cortisol or it could be all by itself in its function. Besides most firstborn infants have a lot of factors which increases their stimulation which may include that being the first one, there’s a lot of expectation, lot of self learning cause there’s no other one to teach or put you through the experiences in the new world you are entering, however what if the other siblings didn’t have the firstborn present, they will as well go through the self learning and also have a high level of cortisol. Then also higher level of cortisol in first time mother monkeys, it’s the first time, the body is undergoing a change it never felt before so in preparation for such change the body responds by increasing the cortisol and this is also multifactorial cause other factors in the body make it higher than usual and this can’t be compared to someone who has had the experience several times and has become accustomed to it. But before even concluding, what’s the level of the stimulation, is it a stimulation that is endangering or pleasant cause that could be a factor as to the level of high cortisol in firstborn knowing that most firstborn take it as an innate responsibility to care and provide and lead the way for younger siblings. Though the information may give us clues but it doesn’t make only the first born to have such high levels of cortisol by stimulation alone, others born can also have it, based on the level of stimulation.
  2. hi, ,am close to writing my GRE exam,so I practiced this argument essay,and wanted a review of my practice,please could you assess it.

    Woven baskets characterized by a particular distinctive pattern have previously been found only in the immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea and therefore were believed to have been made only by the Palean people. Recently, however, archaeologists discovered such a "Palean" basket in Lithos, an ancient village across the Brim River from Palea. The Brim River is very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat, and no Palean boats have been found. Thus it follows that the so-called Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean.

     

    Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

    My response as follows:

    Well, can this information given above really rule out that the woven baskets are not uniquely palean, thought the archaeologist may have found such woven basket in lithos ,if I may say from my little knowledge, the archeologist find out history from buried stones and all sort, given the situation that there was an earthquake in old times that may have moved such from the palean district to the lithos district, that will conclusively not mean it wasn’t originated from palean.

    Also we can’t ascertain whether there was another route to go from palean to lithos which the archeologist have not inquired in detail, cause there might have been a way to send some items to the the lithos region or another point could be that in those days in order to make some religious rites they could have made such woven baskets to the so called “gods” and eventually it swam against the river and got to the lithos region.

    Also any member who knew the skill from palean could have been involved in a water accident where he thought he could drown and later found himself in the lithos community, such person wasn’t God that could determine if he was going to make it alive to the other region and moved on with his life sharing the skill he already learned from his palean people, which also makes you consider did the archeologist just see one sample of it or several sample of it?

    Then the archaeologist concluding that it is purely lithos doesn’t mean, cause it’s just a matter of who saw it first, does that mean that the second place it was found was the authentic originator? as that can’t be used to conclude, and it was not further stated if the age of the woven baskets seen can be compared maybe if such information was given ,we can make a conclusion from that.

    Saying that such baskets cannot be categorically palean, there’s not enough information to conclude it isn’t.

    GRE Essay

    hi guys, having my gre exam soon, practised the issue essay,can you access: Educational institutions have a responsibility to dissuade students from pursuing fields of study in which they are unlikely to succeed. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position. My response as follows Educational institutions do have a responsibility to dissuade their students, because as soon as you enroll they do have a responsibility to make the best out of you when following a particular career path. Well, when I was entering my school, I remember I had an apathetic character towards mathematics which made me go home initially with reports sheets that made my parents unpleased with me and even made me diffident, until I got a new mathematics teacher, he picked his interest in me, knowing with my attitude towards his class I could be an overall bad student or maybe he could inspire some passion for mathematics in me, and so he started his work on me, making it interesting ,making me inquisitive, and it wasn’t so long before I became a proposed mathematics genius, this example I gave it’s a point that my teacher who was part of the educational institution played his path to first access me before dissuading me about such part, meaning that before dissuading a student, has whoever in charge done his or her major role in promoting such career path. Although I may have ended up that way but giving an example of my friend Janet who couldn’t still understand everything with all the inspiration and explanation giving to her and further changed department into English where she had much strength and interest, she was later a world renowned writer who at every single time she wrote a novel was always a bestseller, and I wonder if she was not put in the right path, she could have been a major disaster in this present times. Another reason is, I don’t think any institution will like to be misrepresented outside in the world after so much hard work and goals such institution would love to achieve in each students, and they knowing that they are your primary caregivers concerning your career at such cradle times, many people who are great and making waves for example John Tore where being changed along the way to the career paths they are in now from their educational institution, cause they were accessed by them and was lead the right way. Thirdly I look at the footballers and most sportsmen, they all initially went to institution to get education but observing they did have strength in the sports field, they were inclined and encouraged to follow that pathway which if they were dissuaded they could have been some news of depression and suicide which are commonly found in students who do are frustrated in the wrong career path. I cannot overemphasize that our educational institution are really the foundation where we have the basic knowledge of the outer world and how to cope well with it and if after doing the right training can predict whether we will be a success in that path then we should give them the allowance to lead us the right way.

    GRE Essay

    hi, every one,am close to writing my GRE exam,so I practiced this issue essay,and wanted a review of my practice. To understand the most important characteristics of a society, one must study its major cities. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. my essay goes does: What makes up a society is the people that are born,breed and imbibed a culture passed on from generations to another,when you try to understand a society,you learn about the characteristics which is made up of the quality of the persons in such society.there are various characteristics of a society and a society can both include the main cities and few mildly known area of the same society. One must study the major cities to be informed is that due to the presence of conspicuous tall magnificent buildings which are comprised of various offices which are almost equivalent to job opportunities, you observe there's an influx of persons to the city,the city attracts more and several people of varying culture to it,each culture with its peculiarities and behaviors,this gives you an idea of how there are several way to greet,communicate,request for information and also the way they dress,their lifestyle and events they have,example visiting the mall or cinemas or shopping in the city shows how people of a society love to relax,whereas in a rural area,due to lack of such amenities you may not see the way people relax. Although the city may obscure the real characteristics of a society from the hustling and bustling life therein,you may be amazed to find detailed and hidden characteristics of a society where example in some particular place,the people believe every forth night there's a regard for a said "god" that doesn't allow you eat a particular food, such information may not be easily accessible in the cities. Though studying the major cities can be a major value to important characteristics of a society,it has the tendency to hide profound and entrenched characteristics a society has.
