Chооse оne of the following to write on for your second essаy: Option #1: In his concluding chаpter to A Guide for the Perplexed, Schumаcher distinguishes between two kinds of problems: convergent and divergent. a) explain the distinction with reference to title of the book as a whole. (i.e., how does this distinction add new light to the title and substance of the book as a whole?) b) Imagine the following scenario. Mary Eberstadt is elected to the Senate and, based on the logic of her book, proposes a bill ending no-fault divorce (divorce citing "irreconcilable differences" as the cause, which might also be called free-will divorce), in keeping with the logic of her book. Schumacher is a fellow senator, from the Great State of North Dakota, tasked with voting on the bill. How do you think he would vote? why do you think so? Note: the explanation for the answer is more important whether you think he would vote for or against the bill. or, Option #2: Use E.F. Schumacher's distinction between Convergent and Divergent problems to assess the "paradoxes" raised by Eberstadt in Ch 1 of her book, with reference to the solutions she recommends throughout the book (don't only speak about Ch1 from Eberstadt!!!). In short, I want you to speak about their proposals for "what should we be doing now?" in society, where they might agree or disagree, and what you yourself think. Note: To answer this question successfully, students should explain the distinction between kinds of problem, referencing Schumacher's overall proposals for what to do in our "post modern" (p.139) situation; while also comparing Schumacher's insights to Eberstadt's critiques and proposals for the same postmodern society. While doing this, you would ideally also seek to speak about your own personal agreements or disagreements with our authors. Indicate which option you are picking in the title of your essay.
The trаditiоnаl Pythаgоrean develоped by Bill James used an exponent of 2 for baseball and we'll use this exponent. In the 2023 season, the Reds scored 783 runs and allowed 821 runs. Let’s assume the lineup as constructed would repeat this output next year. Suppose the Reds had their choice of 2 players: 1) Cody Bellinger: accounted for 15 more runs than an average player due to his batting and baserunning and PREVENTED opponents from scoring 7 more run than an average fielder would have (i.e., he increases runs scored by 15 and DECREASES runs allowed by 7) 2) Blake Snell: allowed 20 fewer runs than an average pitcher and has no effect on the batting as the pitcher spot doesn't hit. What would the Pythagorean predict as the win% for the Reds if they replace an average player with Snell? Report your answer as a decimal to 4 places: i.e., 20.34% should be entered as .2034
