Rephrasing the Question
- What is the author referring to when he speaks of the “learning bias of the last century” in paragraph 5? What is he referring to as “they”?
- What is the stand on the argument Csikszentmihalyi tries to convey in paragraph 8? How does he back up his reasoning for his opinion? What kinds of evidence does he use?
- In paragraph 9 the author uses a collection of descriptions of desired genetic traits and discusses the problems with alerting human genes. How can you tell the author’s opinion on the topic? How does his word choice affect his tone?
- Based on the traits in paragraph 3, how does Csikszentmihalyi use them to relate to his own opinion? What are the pros and cons to having diverse or uniform controlled traits?
- In paragraph 6 the author references Niels Bohr to give an example of how an extremely advanced experiment was not practical. How does this reference positively contribute to the author’s argument?
