"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
"How" or "Why" it's able to
It's a yes or no question unfortunately
hmm
well
well, not yes/no, but agreeable/disagreeable
yes or no
can still works in that sense
if you were to write it like
even that seems off
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
is the point of the assignment to find how its applied or just a way to show you know what forensic anthropology is
like a busy work paper
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
i could just present some ethical concerns and call it a day
professor had no qualms about the question
serial killers wouldve been an easy paper
shoulda woulda coulda
only thing the professor said was "make sure not to list too many or you'll drown yourself in work"
if your professor isnt tough then i imagine you can let an eh question slip by
yeah, i suppose. he gave me As on the other parts so he's not exactly a hardass when i try
no ones going to mind it after you throw over examples and connections to real life events
that's true, alright, i feel a bit better about that
so i guess i can focus on the ethical, religious, and political concerns of actually exhuming the bodies
yeah because thats the juice
that's like the one roadblock in the process, lol
rest of it is science
id ask your professor after the work is all graded how he'd go about if he was assigned the paper
take whatever he says and apply it next time
