Answer: correlation vs. causation

Explanation:

Correlation assesses the relationship between variables and can be in the same direction,  where the increase in one exists as the same time as an increase in the other variable or inverse where an increase in one variable occurs when there is a decrease in the second variable. However, this correlation does not indicate causation.

Causation signifies that one variable is responsible for the occurrence of  an event in the other variable. Clearly, there is no cause and effect between the number of mules and doctorate degrees in a state. Here, there is a correlation but a fundamental causative factor is absent between the two events.

"Don’t let someone else define the boundaries of your civic imagination." Explain and react to this statement.
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

Through the diverse cases represented in this collection, we model the different functions that the civic imagination performs. For the moment, we define civic imagination as the capacity to imagine alternatives to current cultural, social, political, or economic conditions; one cannot change the world without imagining what a better world might look like.

Beyond that, the civic imagination requires and is realized through the ability to imagine the process of change, to see one’s self as a civic agent capable of making change, to feel solidarity with others whose perspectives and experiences are different than one’s own, to join a larger collective with shared interests, and to bring imaginative dimensions to  real world spaces and places.

Research on the civic imagination explores the political consequences of cultural representations and the cultural roots of political participation. This definition consolidates ideas from various accounts of the public imagination, the political imagination, the radical imagination, the pragmatic imagination, creative insurgency or public fantasy.

In some cases, the civic imagination is grounded in beliefs about how the system actually works, but we have a more expansive understanding stressing the capacity to imagine alternatives, even if those alternatives tap the fantastic. Too often, focusing on contemporary problems makes it impossible to see beyond immediate constraints.

This tunnel vision perpetuates the status quo, and innovative voices —especially those from the margins — are shot down before they can be heard.

maria [59]

Answer: EXCEPT all of the goals reflect the same specific topic.

Explanation: When setting goals, it is important to follow some set of guidelines such as setting realistic and achievable goals; the goals are specific; the goals are flexible and can be easily modified.

It's unimportant if the goals are not closely related. For example, I want to practice piano for 6 hours daily and also run 5 kilometres, these are two goals that can be achieved in a day and not important to be related.
