 1. Differentiate between probability and possibility. The word possibly is derived from the Latin word ‘possibilitas’ which means able to be done. Probability also describes something that might occur, the chance that something might happen. Probability thinking is considering the likelihood of something happening from past evidence. When we look into our past to generate certainty for the future, we set ourselves up to fail. The past repeats, and nothing changes. Possibility thinking is considering the likelihood of something happening in the uncertain future. This requires imagination and the willingness to embrace uncertainty. To shift from probability to possibility, all you need is to shift from one word: ‘I can’t’ to ‘I could’.

The one big difference between the two words is that while possibility is the universal set, probability is the subset. Possibility is sure

Imitation and Gender Insubordination- 1991

Image
  The purpose of Butler's essay, in her view, is to resist homophobic normative oppression by rethinking gender and sexuality. Emphasize that identity categories are tools of oppressive regulatory systems. Butler opposes an essentialist approach of adapting sexuality to a clear definition, because the definition does not take into account all the complexities and pluralities within a particular group. She wonders if there is a right way to be gay and argues that saying so would discriminate against homosexuals who don't fit that image. Instead, it suggests that the sexuality is fluid and unclear, and also implies that this is what makes it intriguing. How do you “be” what you already are? Is there an act that you have to stage to play the role of a man or a woman? How about a straight man versus a gay man, or a lesbian versus a straight woman? In the essay, “Imitation and Gender Insubordination,” these are the questions she seems to be asking. Butler's main arguments in thi

  The main purpose of this guide is to bring out the concepts of critical thinking and how it is or how it can be applied in our daily lives. Through critical thinking, one can develop the elements of purpose, questioning, information, interpretation, concepts, assumptions, implications and consequences, and point of view.   Basically, critical thinking means being self-directed, self-disciplined, self- monitored, and self-corrective thinking.

Whereas, we are in the phase of revelation of what is more important and which was hidden for a long period of time. It is basically the heavenly secrets that make sense of earthly realities according to Bart Ehrman. We, the humans make a choice on which path we choose, whether a flowery one amongst the other terrifying ones. The first living organisms on Earth appeared 4 billion years ago, according to some scientists. Back then, our planet was still hit by giant space rocks. But anyway, life still exists.
