We care about what is probable. We determine what is probable based on our prior experience of the world...". What this quote is saying is that instead of having actually evidence we speculate an possible answer. This made me realize that I myself speculate, make predictions, and judgments based on what I have experienced or seen being experienced by others. <br />**Brittany PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-25060684789107608162015-03-07T11:15:42.673-06:002015-03-07T11:15:42.673-06:00Schulz gave a great explanation of "the parad...Schulz gave a great explanation of "the paradox of inductive reasoning" on page 124. I agreed that only giving a person evidence against their belief or claim will only get them thinking about it but not necessarily in a different way. It will not actually change their opinion. Connecting this point to the stereotypes placed on people based on race, gender, and etc. helped me to further understand why they are so hard to break. <br />Taylor M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-45209881907678927292015-03-06T23:51:13.822-06:002015-03-06T23:51:13.822-06:00The idea of being right when we're undeniably,...The idea of being right when we're undeniably, with much evidence wrong, is a eerie concept. On page 124, while talking about the Winter constellation, and mistakenly calling it the summer constellation, she continued to hold the name as if it was true, even though the evidence of sight was against her. The point is, we go to undeniable lengths to be right even when we are clearly wrong.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15472530413849370193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-45809160744571196692015-03-06T22:02:45.555-06:002015-03-06T22:02:45.555-06:00The topic that I found to be most helpful in atten...The topic that I found to be most helpful in attending to counter evidence was when Schulz talked about stereotypes being based on only a small amount of evidence even though the stereotype is easily reverse-able with having only a small out of counter evidence.<br />~Tashawna NashTashawna Nashnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-32186750790416580332015-03-06T11:05:25.889-06:002015-03-06T11:05:25.889-06:00Schulz explains how stereotypes are taken from onl...Schulz explains how stereotypes are taken from only a small amount of evidence.

I think this is extremely true but not valid because there is always something we do not know about the topic. For example, someone can be told they will not stay with their first love because of their similar experiences, but every relationship is different even if the similarities are greater than the contrast of an unsuccessful relationship.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08276149777349007939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-31452531344725053602015-03-06T09:39:04.271-06:002015-03-06T09:39:04.271-06:00The explanation on how we use inductive reasoning ...The explanation on how we use inductive reasoning to get evidence and answer questions I found most helpful.

She then explained how our experiences lead us to assume we know certain things when if fact we may not actually hold that knowledge. This,to me, shows why we always need to attend to counter evidence. It made me ask myself If we can't question our own knowledge, how do we determine what we actually know?Brianna Reednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595859379914711075.post-19230932132337604682015-03-05T17:08:51.822-06:002015-03-05T17:08:51.822-06:00When Schulz talks about how stereotypes are based ...When Schulz talks about how stereotypes are based on a small amount of evidence, I found this topic to be the most helpful in attending to counter evidence. The author says that the same stereotype could be overturned by an equally small amount of counter evidence.

I think that's true and I can probably attest to that.
