if you get what im saying

2020-03-02 04:29:18 UTC  

"CAN it be utilized" it can and it has

2020-03-02 04:29:59 UTC  

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

2020-03-02 04:30:23 UTC  

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

2020-03-02 04:30:35 UTC  

for me

2020-03-02 04:30:58 UTC  

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

2020-03-02 04:31:10 UTC  

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

2020-03-02 04:31:18 UTC  

"are you sure you can pay that"

2020-03-02 04:31:39 UTC  

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

2020-03-02 04:31:56 UTC  

I'd say more like

2020-03-02 04:31:57 UTC  

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

2020-03-02 04:32:11 UTC  

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

2020-03-02 04:32:15 UTC  

and you say yes

2020-03-02 04:32:15 UTC  

"How" or "Why" it's able to

2020-03-02 04:32:28 UTC  

It's a yes or no question unfortunately

2020-03-02 04:32:34 UTC  

hmm

2020-03-02 04:32:54 UTC  

well

2020-03-02 04:33:05 UTC  

well, not yes/no, but agreeable/disagreeable

2020-03-02 04:33:06 UTC  

yes or no

2020-03-02 04:33:13 UTC  

can still works in that sense

2020-03-02 04:33:23 UTC  

if you were to write it like

2020-03-02 04:33:41 UTC  

"can so so work in this applied area, of course it does" but

2020-03-02 04:33:45 UTC  

even that seems off

2020-03-02 04:34:13 UTC  

this is a 200-level forensic science course so i'm not terribly concerned with converting people, but i'd like to make a strong argument at least

2020-03-02 04:35:04 UTC  

is the point of the assignment to find how its applied or just a way to show you know what forensic anthropology is

2020-03-02 04:35:12 UTC  

like a busy work paper

2020-03-02 04:35:45 UTC  

it's kind of busy work but i'm gonna need to present on it shortly, which is more of like... dirty jobs I guess? everyone chose a topic and some people do serial killers and shit

2020-03-02 04:36:05 UTC  

i could just present some ethical concerns and call it a day

2020-03-02 04:36:12 UTC  

professor had no qualms about the question

2020-03-02 04:36:18 UTC  

serial killers wouldve been an easy paper

2020-03-02 04:36:32 UTC  

shoulda woulda coulda

2020-03-02 04:36:51 UTC  

only thing the professor said was "make sure not to list too many or you'll drown yourself in work"

2020-03-02 04:37:18 UTC  

if your professor isnt tough then i imagine you can let an eh question slip by

2020-03-02 04:37:44 UTC  

yeah, i suppose. he gave me As on the other parts so he's not exactly a hardass when i try

2020-03-02 04:37:48 UTC  

no ones going to mind it after you throw over examples and connections to real life events

2020-03-02 04:38:21 UTC  

that's true, alright, i feel a bit better about that

2020-03-02 04:38:53 UTC  

so i guess i can focus on the ethical, religious, and political concerns of actually exhuming the bodies

2020-03-02 04:39:09 UTC  

yeah because thats the juice

2020-03-02 04:39:21 UTC  

that's like the one roadblock in the process, lol

2020-03-02 04:39:33 UTC  

rest of it is science

2020-03-02 04:39:51 UTC  

id ask your professor after the work is all graded how he'd go about if he was assigned the paper
