My apartment is small and my dryer introduces humidity levels higher than FL

But I fucking love Florida

If you gave me a fishing pole I could survive there

My dad is from Key West

Used to spend 2 months there every summer

hey, i could use some advice from someone: i have a weak question for an academic paper that i need to make stronger

it's for a forensic science course, i needed to choose a topic in the field to get deeper in, i chose forensic anthropology because that's what i want to end up doing eventually

well, my question in part A was weak and as a consequence i'm having problems arguing against it for a counter-point

"Can forensic anthropology be utilized scientifically to determine if a mass grave is the site of a human rights violation?" is my question

the only arguments i can think of making against it are religious and cultural opposition to exhumation of bodies, preventing the examination of corpses for perimortem causes

also political, as turkey is doing to hide armenian genocide mass graves

my question is too weak, though. i'm having difficulty thinking of a way to narrow it down to something more divisive

what would be the environmental impact of a mass grave? i know our bodies decompose well off but in terms of just tossing a few thousand into one area

So you can still better your question?

that can't be that good for an ecosystem surely right?

@rona man depends how deep i guess

well, there are syrians who built farms over mass graves from the ottoman empire, so it's not that bad

and serbians grew pine trees over some mass graves to cover them up

societal impact would be deep for most people i'd imagine, take a look at a picture of a concentration camp mass grave and dread more often than not sets in

my problem is with my question, it's hard to argue against an established science

"CAN it be utilized scientifically to determine..." is my issue

it obviously can because it has; mass graves are very different depending on the circumstances, like a plague grave versus a genocide grave

i need a better question to analyze

there are ethical concerns in anthropology about false findings, and forensic science, about doctored results i guess

ask the same question differently

"can" is redundant

would "is" be better?

the science in practice works, its almost like

youre questioning its credibility

if you get what im saying

"CAN it be utilized" it can and it has

Ask as if you're presenting forensic anthropology to an audience that doesn't know what it is

to be fair, a lot of them probably don't.

for me

the word "can" questions if something is able to do something

its like if you were about to pay for food and the cashier asks

"are you sure you can pay that"

so should i ask "Is forensic anthropology utilized scientifically to determine if a mass grave is the site of a human rights violation?"

I'd say more like

That's a similar argument but carries a lot different weight

and the cashier asks "are you sure I can ingest your meaty urethrastick"

and you say yes
