CHAPTER 13
READING BEYAND THE WORDS
When reading you must a as certain level of knowledge in what you are reading and you must always be trying to interpret what the author is saying because a lot of time it may not be in front of you in black and white. Everything the author is saying to you must be taken in to account in what he may be trying to accomplish by getting his work across. In what type of tone is the author coming across as, is it persuasive? Is it a summary, or a biography or maybe a report of some finding that he is sharing? As a reader you should look through all of this to try to learn what is trying to be put across. Once you have read what has been presented evaluate and try to summarize what you got out of this reading.
CHAPTER 14
EVALUATING INTERNET RESOURCES.
One of the greatest resources we know have on hand is the World Wide Web. We can find information to almost any subject imaginable with just the click of a button. This resource is extremely useful but at the same time can crippling as well. A lot of time when books are published they are made sure that the information written is legitimate where as where as on web that is not always the case. When getting reliable references from the web you must make sure the information that you’re gathering is coming from a credible source rather than form a 15 year old kid who’s posting nonsense on the web. The fact is that anybody can put stuff on the web so it is important to make sure the information you’re receiving is factual.

READING UNDERSTANDING, AND CREATING VISUALS
When reading about a confusing subject of being taught about a confusing subject just words won’t always get the point across. Visual aids play such a huge role in the learning process and when making presentations. An example when a visual aid makes learning easier is when learning about the digestive system one can first explain in words but you can only get so much from words, but seeing a picture of the digestive tract it makes the word so much more clear and easier to understand. When presenting in a front of colleagues or in front of your peers visual aid proves to be extremely helpful in either getting your argument across or your point across.

CHAPTER 12
IDENTIFYING AND EVALUATING ARGUMENTS
In arguments we come across deductive argument, inductive and evaluating arguments. A deductive argument is that the premise is to be undeniably true that the conclusion is also unquestionably true as well. In an inductive argument the premise is highly probable to be true as well as the conclusion. The main thing to understand between the two is probability as which you know is the absolute truth and what you know is high probable. In an argument you want to have a deductive stance because nothing can argue with one hundred percent fact.

Finding Supporting Details Chapter 6
It is very important to locate the main idea and the major supporting details in a reading assignment are the foundation of college reading. The authors use details to help reads understand the supporting details. As privacy stated, major supporting details provide support for the main idea of a reading. They are commonly presented in the form of examples illustrations, explanations, definitions, facts of opinions. They typically answer who, what, when, how, and why? Minor supporting details are intended to clarify and enhance the major supporting details and are not usually considered as important. However some of them are significant and useful. It is important to prioritize details.
Once you identify the main ideas of on your reading material, you can divide the rest of the material into two categories major and main supporting details. If you are able to distinguish between the major and main supporting details, in your reading materials, it means you have understood what you have reading.

OBSERVATION SKILL
The process of watching something or someone carefully for a period of time will change our life. For example, in 1982, I gave birth to my first daughter in hospital
of Boston Massachusetts, The nurse who took care of me and my daughter inspired me and that was the time, I decided to become a nurse. There was one nurse who came regularly to help me. First of all, she was gentle, caring and loving towards my daughter,
and me she made me. She made me feel like she was a family member than a nurse to me. Second of all, when I was in labor had had a lot of pain, I couldn’t relax, but the
nurse gave me a medicine, which made me comfortable. In addition, she also did a lot of things to ease my pain. Finally, due to my complicated delivery, I was not able to move a lot. There fore, the nurse helped me to feed, clean my baby and more important,
educated me how to take care of my baby daughter, The Nurse who was in my delivery room inspired me to become a nurse, Because of her inspiration, I was able to achieve my
Medical Assistant Certificate in 1986, as I am still inspired by her, I am going to further my education in nursing. That way, it is good to be a quick observant and appreciative

Realty what is real and fact Chapter 3

In critical thinking we must evaluate all parts of a situation before coming to a final conclusion. We must observe all that surrounds our argument otherwise how can one come to a educate conclusion. You must not only look for facts that are present but also facts that are not there, narrowing down what it truth from foe. When taking observation you must know the difference between a reliable observation and an unreliable observation. It is also important while collecting all this data to not allow it to sway your judgment because it is an ongoing process, keep an open mind until you have the full picture in front of you.
Chapter 4 Inference
Inference thinking is natural to humans, if some one walks up to us with a gun in there hand we are going to assume they mean us harm. Inference is a way of gathering information, due to other things that may give to the ultimate finding. It is important to remember that inference is not factual. Just because one may infer something is going to happen, it may not happen at all, the exact opposite might happen.

Assumption is a pre-existing belief, for example it would be wise to assume that walking the streets of Oakland at night souls be unsafe. Assumptions may also sprout from experiences such as, every time I walk passed by neighbors house there dog barks, so from then on I know when I go passed there front yard I am going to hear a barking dog.
Assumption and Inference are deeply intertwined, our assumptions come from our belief our inference comes form our assumptions this basics of how human nature comes up with logical reasoning.
Realty what is real and fact Chapter 3
10-02-2006
In critical thinking we must evaluate all parts of a situation before coming to a final conclusion. We must observe all that surrounds our argument otherwise how can one come to a educate conclusion. You must not only look for facts that are present but also facts that are not there, narrowing down what it truth from foe. When taking observation you must know the difference between a reliable observation and an unreliable observation. It is also important while collecting all this data to not allow it to sway your judgment because it is an ongoing process, keep an open mind until you have the full picture in front of you.
Chapter 4 Inference
Inference thinking is natural to humans, if some one walks up to us with a gun in there hand we are going to assume they mean us harm. Inference is a way of gathering information, due to other things that may give to the ultimate finding. It is important to remember that inference is not factual. Just because one may infer something is going to happen, it may not happen at all, the exact opposite might happen.

Thinking for Yourself
Ch 6 Summary Eng 75 Opinions: what’s Believed?
Opinions are one of the few things that are based clearly on an individual personal ideas and thoughts. It’s what makes us different from one another. If everybody had the same opinions perhaps we would live in a much more peaceful world, but it would be so boring everybody would view everything in the same way not much would have been accomplished. Opinions can be formed in so many different ways and for different reasons. One way can be based on taste for example some people may like the way something taste while others may despise. Another example would be more of an educated opinion such as individual who studies a certain scientific procedure may come up with a theory of what going to happen or why it happen, which will most likely be different that what another scientist may think.
Ch 7 Summary Evaluations What’s Judged? Eng 75
If a snowball is coming at me at 30mph the likely of it hitting me is very high, and if I stand in this spot most likely it will hit me. I don’t know the snow ball will hit me for a fact but from what I evaluate from this situation, I don’t want to stand here to find out. As humans it is important that we can asses are situations even though we may have never experienced them before. This is are way of adapting to what’s going on around us, Similar to the example given at the beginning but in a factual sense, if a brick was thrown out the window and I know for a fact that it will eventually hit the ground and may cause injury to anything in its path. Some evaluations are given based on experience but it cannot be qualified on fact just because it may not happen 90% of the time.
Ch 8 Summary Viewpoints What’s the filter?
In Critical Thinking it is important to always understand what you are reading. This may sound obvious but there are times when one can read some thing but not fully understand its meaning. You must be able to understand the writer view point, what are they assuming, what do they want the readers to believe after they have read there work. Once you understand where the writer is coming from and what their focus is you can go on to form your own opinions and ideas. Now you can use critically thinking to look at all different aspects of the writing because you have first seen it in all angles.
Ch 9 Summary Argument What’s a good Argument?
If a statement is thrown out to you, you would not necessarily believe just because some one told you. It is important when arguing a topic or persuading one on your views, you are prepared with data, facts about the topic a strong underlining premise and make sure you believe in what you are saying. Also when giving your argument your premise must be true, and your conclusion should always support your premise. You want to be prepared when you have and argument, in that all your material has been well researched and you are prepared to fire back on any questions given to you on that topic.
Ch 10 Summary fallacies What’s a faulty Argument?
A faulty argument will be most prevalent with an individual who does not have a strong premise, facts or data to back up what they are saying, therefore when they are presenting there statement it will sound faulty and have a lot of unnecessary words or sentencing just to confuse the opponent or even the individual presenting there argument. You can always tell when a bad argument is being given simply at looking at two parts of there argument. The first part being there premise and there second part being there conclusion. You can ask yourself does the conclusion support the premise at all, or does the conclusion make sense given what the premise is saying. Also when an individual is a giving a faulty argument they may have misleading facts so it is also important to be aware of the facts and make sure they are the truth.
Ch 11 Summary Inductive Reasoning and Inductive Fallacies:
How Do I Reason from Evidence?
Inductive reasonning is important to have in argument because it allows you to be aware of patterns going on in a situation. Although this pattern may happen almost every time it is important to be able to distinguish it between facts. Inductive reasoning can help strengthen your argument because a lot of times it is taken almost as being factual so it is a good basis to have. Fallacies are what brings an argument down because it is pattern of reasoning witch is usually wrong. This because of the way the argument is structured witch is incorrect for one reason or another. It may be incorrect because the statements may be false or it may be incorrect simply because of where the premise and conclusions are setup.

It is very important to locate the main idea and the major supporting details in a reading assignment are the foundation of college reading. The authors use details to help reads understand the supporting details. As privacy stated, major supporting details provide support for the main idea of a reading. They are commonly presented in the form of examples illustrations, explanations, definitions, facts of opinions. They typically answer who, what, when, how, and why? Minor supporting details are intended to clarify and enhance the major supporting details and are not usually considered as important. However some of them are significant and useful. It is important to prioritize details.
Once you identify the main ideas of on your reading material, you can divide the rest of the material into two categories major and main supporting details. If you are able to distinguish between the major and main supporting details, in your reading materials, it means you have understood what you have reading.

The coronary heart disease
CORONARY HEART DISEASE
The heart one of the most important internal organs, begins to take its first beat while we are still safely tucked away in the womb of our mothers, continues to beat from that moment on until we take out last breath.
A well known enemy of the heart that plagues both men and women across the world is Coronary Artery Dieses. CAD occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle the coronary arteries become hardened and narrowed, due to buildup of a material called plaque (plak) on their inner walls. The buildup of plaque is known as atherosclerosis. As the plaque increases in size, the insides of the coronary arteries get narrower and less blood can flow through them. Eventually, blood flow to the heart muscle is reduced, and, because blood carries much needed oxygen. The heart muscle is not able to receive the amount of oxygen it needs. that affect to the arteries in the heart. Narrowing of the small blood vessels causing blockages of vessels due to fat and cholesterol deposits, these are not the only factors that cause this ailment, there are both genetic and environmental factors that play a role, such factors are women who have passed menopause. Luck of exercise, over weight, diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. In our bodies it is natural we get fatty deposit; cholesterol is a waxy, fat like material that is found in all ports of the body. It comes from two sources; from liver produces it, and we consume it in meat and dairy products.
Fatty streaks in the arteries begin early on in life, a lot of time starting out in teen years some blockage does not threatening to our health, even up to 50% blockage is not life threatening, it will take your heart more work to pump blood to your body while working out, you tend to become out of breath more quickly while doing any physical activity.

family history of coronary heart disease
male gender
age 65 and grater
tobacco smoking
high blood pressure
diabetes
high cholesterol levels
lack of physical activity of exercise
obesity
menopause in women
Infection that causes inflammation in the artery wall.
SYMPTOMS OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE ARE
The most common symptoms of coronary artery disease are chest pain or chest discomfort (angina) or pain in one or both arms left shoulder, neck, jaw or back pain.
Shortness of breath
Symptoms may become more severe as coronary arteries become narrower due to the buildup of plaque (atherosclerosis)
In some people, the first sign of CAD is a heart attack.
HOW IS CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE DIAGNOSED
EKG Electrocardiogram
Echocardiogram
Cardiac catheterization
Exercise stress test
Coronary angiography.
How is Coronary Artery Disease Treated?
Treatment for coronary artery disease may include life style changes, medicines, and special procedures.
