With disguise, some animals resemble specific elements of their surroundings rather than their environment as a whole. The insect known as a walking stick looks very much like a stick, so it is difficult to find it when looking at a tree or bush. Another insect species is referred to as leaf insects or walking leaves because their bodies so closely look like the plants where they live. Animals camouflage themselves in the seas and oceans as well. The tan coloring and markings of flatfish make them almost impossible to recognize due to the sand around them, despite changes in tides that disturb the ocean’s floor. Concealing coloration helps animals to blend into their surroundings and create a visual illusion. For example, the white coats or feathers of many animals living in arctic zones, such as polar bears and snowy owls, allow them to blend into the background. If a predator looks across a white snow-covered field, it is difficult to pick out its white prey. Moreover, some animals can change their colors. Stevens (2016) points out the role of concealment in camouflage: “One likely advantage is that color change enables animals to cope with varying backgrounds and unpredictable environments” (p. 98). None of these strategies of camouflage is more effective than the other, and they all show the range of normal possibilities that nature offers animals to survive. Many animals combine camouflage with their “fight or flight” responses, which gives them additional time to decide whether they should stay and fight or flee. Furthermore, animals that use camouflage for protection share a conspicuous problem as well; as Emlen (2014) observes, “Animals that panic, dashing from their hiding places at the wrong time, or animals that walk or fly with the wrong gait, can break camouflage with deadly consequences” (p. 18). The most effective camouflages keep animals safe from their predators. Whether by concealing coloration, disruptive coloration, disguise, or mimicry, animals need the protections of camouflage if they are to escape their natural foes. I.

Course 030 CAMPUS-Summer-03 Name Date 030 Comparing Conclusions ESSAY 1.1 APA Against E-Voting 1 Can computer technology be used to steal an election? For the most part, innovative technologies promise to make people’s lives easier and more comfortable, but these innovations can also be a risk, particularly to democratic processes. Societies should not rely solely on electronic systems for voting because elections are too important to trust to computers. 2 In years past, people voted on paper ballots with a pen. Voters could look over their ballots to ensure that they did not make a mistake. Also, when there was a dispute over the results of an election, paper ballots allowed election officials to count votes by hand. This process was tedious, but the results could be easily verified to see if there were any discrepancies between counts. Several countries still use this traditional system of voting, and it provides a crucial foundation for ensuring fairness. 3 Today, however, voters cannot be sure whether electronic voting systems are reliably counting their votes. For example, a computer hacker could develop a program that redirected a person’s vote from one candidate to another. Although some people might think this is unlikely, problems with computer security have occurred throughout the world. The simple fact is that hackers can break into many computer systems for their own purposes. By illegally entering an online polling site, they could change the outcome of an election. Jones and Simons (2012) warn of such a possibility: “a risk of Internet voting is that the computer receiving the voted ballots could be attacked over the Internet by individual hackers, political operatives, foreign governments, or terrorists” (p. 269). Citizens should also question whether electronic voting enhances the voting process. As the old saying goes, “If something isn’t broken, don’t fix it.” 4 If a government decides to use an electronic voting system, it should ensure that all voters receive receipts for their votes that could then be collected for subsequent verification. These receipts would clearly indicate that the vote had gone to the selected candidate. Furthermore, if any candidate suspects that an election is unfair, these receipts could be counted by hand and checked against the computer results. At the very least, as Hale, Montjoy, and Brown (2015) argue, voting should be a simple, secure, and consistent process, regardless of the voting procedure being used. 5 Computer technologies have improved the quality of our lives vastly, but these technologies are not a cure for all of society’s needs. Sometimes a little more human work ensures a better, fairer result. Since voting is critically important to the effective working of society, governments should not rely only on computers for all elections. References Hale, K., Montjoy, R., & Brown, M. (2015).

ESSAY 1.2 APA Camouflage for Survival 1 The animals that can live the longest are the ones that hide the best. Animals must protect themselves from predators if they are to survive and reproduce, and many accomplish this goal through camouflage. If they hide themselves well, their predators will not see them and thus will not eat them. Camouflage is the end result of many evolutionary factors, but it develops primarily as a response to animals’ environments. By blending in with their surroundings, animals greatly reduce the chance that a predator will locate and kill them. The four primary strategies of camouflage include concealing coloration, disruptive coloration, disguise, and mimicry. With mimicry, an animal’s coloring makes it resemble another, more dangerous creature so that they are virtually identical. The red, black, and yellow rings of scarlet kingsnakes resemble those of coral snakes. Scarlet kingsnakes are not poisonous, but coral snakes are one of the deadliest species of reptiles. Consequently, the coloring of scarlet kingsnakes scares away their predators, who mistake them for venomous snakes and do not target them for a meal. Animals such as zebras and giraffes show disruptive coloration. It may seem strange to think that zebras camouflage themselves through their stripes since these features appear quite distinctive to humans. The main predators of zebras, however, are lions, and they are colorblind. Thus, a zebra’s stripes help the zebra to blend in with the landscapes of grassy plains. Due to their height, giraffes are among the most easily recognized animals on the planet, yet their disruptive coloring allows them to blend in with trees, particularly when they are young and vulnerable. Disruptive coloration creates an optical illusion for predators, tricking them about what stands right before their eyes, and so these animals are rarely detected. University Canada West 2022 2 of 4

Logical fallacies are any flaws in reasoning. These weaken arguments, but sometimes they can work in distracting people from the original argument and subject. In literature, they can reveal aspects of a character. Pick one character and examine his or her logical fallacies in Act II. What are they? What do they convey about this character?
