Answer:
The accident of the Columbia space shuttle made the repairs to the Hubble microscope uncertain, as well as the future of this telescope.
Explanation:
The Hubble telescope was a major scientific breakthrough, both in terms of its creation and its launch. It has been in space for over thirty years and there is no date for its shutdown.
This telescope needs maintenance in order to function effectively, however this maintenance has not been done for some time and it is uncertain when it will happen. This uncertainty is an effect that the Columbia space shuttle accident caused. That's because Columbia was responsible for maintaining Hubble, but it exploded when it returned to Earth, killing the entire crew. This made the telescope's repairs uncertain, expensive and dangerous, discouraging its execution.
Answer:
My fellow homosapiens, I think cats should be considered emotional disordered dogs. I think this because cats act like dogs but more emotionally and you can tell by the way they walk. They walk with grace. They also jump with grace. They fall with grace. Dogs can do that but less emotionally and cuter. Cats even get scared with grace like dogs do. Both of them make a beautiful screech as they either fly through the air or flipping all over the place. Cats can also be considered dogs because all they want is to lay around or food. My dear fellow homosapiens I hope you reconsidered this informational important speech and choose to follow this decision. Thank you for summoning me my child.
Explanation:
The lines above from the Declaration of Independence are examples of the use of Logos since there is an appeal of supportive evidence and logic of the arguments. It is also because it has been used to convince the audience by applying logic and the statement is not based on an emotional appeal.
China's social credit system has been compared to Black Mirror, Big Brother and every other dystopian future sci-fi writers can think up. The reality is more complicated — and in some ways, worse.
The idea for social credit came about back in 2007, with projects announced by the government as an opt-in system in 2014. But there's a difference between the official government system and private, corporate versions, though the latter's scoring system that includes shopping habits and friendships is often conflated with the former.
Brits are well accustomed to credit checks: data brokers such as Experian trace the timely manner in which we pay our debts, giving us a score that's used by lenders and mortgage providers. We also have social-style scores, and anyone who has shopped online with eBay has a rating on shipping times and communication, while Uber drivers and passengers both rate each other; if your score falls too far, you're out of luck.
China's social credit system expands that idea to all aspects of life, judging citizens' behaviour and trustworthiness. Caught jaywalking, don't pay a court bill, play your music too loud on the train — you could lose certain rights, such as booking a flight or train ticket. "The idea itself is not a Chinese phenomenon," says Mareike Ohlberg, research associate at the Mercator Institute for China Studies. Nor is the use, and abuse, of aggregated data for analysis of behaviour. "But if [the Chinese system] does come together as envisioned, it would still be something very unique," she says. "It's both unique and part of a global trend."
Answer:
Bradbury´s opening uses the literary device of personification by granting a human trait (the capacity to tremble because of weakness) to a non-living thing (the sign on the wall). This sentence also works as a foreshadowing element, as it sets the mood for something going wrong.
Explanation:
Furthermore, it relates to a later metaphor about time being "a film run backward." In the end, the protagonist finds himself trembling because of his weakness, his incapacity to go through the film of time without causing trouble.
