Claims – Bitagaming

Definition Claim

“Brannan fully supports any wife—who feels that she or her children are in danger, or in an untenable mental-health environment, or for whatever reason—who decides to leave. She’s here, through Family of a Vet, to help those people. But she’s also there for those FOV users who, like her, have decided to stay.”

– Claiming that Branan is a  real sodier, she ready to fight in any situation that could harm her child.
– As any other mother, for any reason that dangerous to their child and their family, they will always protect them.

Numerical claims.

Up until 2006, the VA was spending $9.9 million, just 2.5 percent of its medical and prosthetic research budget, on PTSD studies. In 2009, funding was upped to $24.5 million. But studies take a long time, and any resulting new directives take even longer to be implemented.

– The VA collaborates with other groups to study, develop, and fund more than 130 experiments to see if blood pressure medications can assist vets get meditation treatment or assess its efficacy. Service dogs are trauma-sensitive.
– the number they gave us show clearly they invested a lot of time, energy, and money on this endeavor, which resulted in a high overall cost. More than 24 million dollars must be spent in only three years.
– A list of sponsored research that are attempting to treat PTSD An analogous claim that the trauma-sensitive service canines required are similar to Caleb’s service dog also occurs.

Evaluative Claim.

Like traumatic brain injury. Researchers posit that TBI can make the brain more vulnerable to PTSD, or that it can exacerbate its symptoms of exhaustion, agitation, confusion, headaches. They’re not positive about that, or about whether TBI makes PTSD harder to treat. James Peterson’s post-injection chill-out wore off after a month, faster than it does for other patients—maybe because of his TBI.

-Involving a traumatic brain injury causes people to feel worn out, irritable, confused, headaches, and many other symptoms, all of which might have catastrophic implications. it also a Analogy claims when they compare The James Perterson’s situation chilly feeling that vanished a month after the injection served as an example when they compared whether TBI makes PTSD more challenging to cure.

Analogy claim

To figure out that if 25 mph punches to the head cause brain damage, IED blasts that hit at 330 mph probably do too.

-This is a analogy claims when the author compare the deadly similarities between a punch delivered at 25 mph and a catastrophic IED detonation or brain injury.

Recommendation Claim

“I don’t just get to see the bad stuff,” Danna says. “I get to see the good stuff too.”

– There will be joyful, sad, and depressed moments in life, but sometimes we need to put such moments behind us and concentrate on the good parts of living rather than only dwelling on the important things. If you are pessimistic, you can come up with better ideas. We can see both the good and the terrible, so why don’t we set the negative things aside and focus on the positive, according to Danna.

Categorical claim

Different studies of the children of American World War II, Korea, and Vietnam vets with PTSD have turned up different results: “45 percent” of kids in one small study “reported significant PTSD signs”; “83 percent reported elevated hostility scores.” Other studies have found a “higher rate of psychiatric treatment.

– They detail disparities in child mortality rates during World War II between Vietnam, Korea, and the US, as well as variations in PTSD-related symptoms, friendship difficulties, and dysfunctional social skills. This is a Numerical claim as well when they give us the ratio of kids in these country.

In World War II, “battle fatigue.” It wasn’t an official diagnosis until 1980, when Post Traumatic Stress Disorder made its debut in psychiatry’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, uniting a flood of Vietnam vets suffering persistent psych issues with traumatized civilians—previously assigned labels like “accident neurosis” and “post-rape syndrome”—onto the same page of the DSM-III.

—There are factual assertions throughout the entire section. Unquestionable proof that can be used to back up factual claims.

      Could you please checkk my work one more time, I know i am still flawed, can you help me to find out what is the problem with formating. Thank you

        The formatting problem enters WordPress when you import work from other platforms that contains word-processing formatting.

        You can VERY PAINSTAKINGLY remove the coding from your imported text using the “Code Editor” mode in the Edit screen, but it’s easier to import BLANK TEXT or UNFORMATTED TEXT or whatever version of PASTE you can utilize to strip away all those and and parameters you can. I can demonstrate this to you when I see you in person.

    I did my best to strip out your formatting in Code Editor, but it’s really difficult to get rid of all the paragraph and font codes once they’ve been imported.

    Let me do a model evaluation of your Evaluative Claims section, Bitagaming. I’m not going to read your version carefully. I skimmed it and want to suggest a different focus.

    Evaluative Claim.

    Like traumatic brain injury. Researchers posit that TBI can make the brain more vulnerable to PTSD, or that it can exacerbate its symptoms of exhaustion, agitation, confusion, headaches. They’re not positive about that, or about whether TBI makes PTSD harder to treat. James Peterson’s post-injection chill-out wore off after a month, faster than it does for other patients—maybe because of his TBI.

    Like traumatic brain injury.
    —This is one half of an Analogy Claim. Whatever TBI is being compared to here, the antecedent is not provided, but it has something in common with Traumatic Brain Injury, according to the Author.

    Researchers posit
    —The Author doesn’t want to take credit for the following observation. She ascribes it to Researchers, and doesn’t say they firmly conclude, only that they “posit” or speculate. The conclusions are wishful.

    that TBI can make the brain more vulnerable to PTSD,
    —This is a Causal Claim attributed to those Researchers. They don’t say TBI CAUSES PTSD, but they do suggest someone with TBI MAY be more vulnerable.

    or that it can exacerbate its symptoms of exhaustion, agitation, confusion, headaches.
    —This advances the earlier Causal claim and is also a Categorical claim that identifies several symptoms that belong to the Category of “symptoms of PTSD.”

    They’re not positive about that,
    —Here the author is once again making the Evaluative claim that the research is still pretty iffy and inconclusive.

    or about whether TBI makes PTSD harder to treat.
    —They’ve been trying out different treatments on patients WITH and WITHOUT TBI to see if treatment is more successful without it, but they don’t know yet.

    James Peterson’s post-injection chill-out wore off after a month, faster than it does for other patients—maybe because of his TBI.
    —This is an Anecdotal claim (I just made up the term. You can do the same.) It provides an example of the sort of experiments the Researchers are running in real time on real patients. They gave Peterson an injection. It resulted in reduced symptoms. But not for as long as for other patients. Which makes them wonder if they can make the Causal claim that his TBI reduced the treatment’s effectiveness.

    If you were to have needed an hour for that exhaustive examination of just one brief quotation, I’d be completely satisfied with the results. Claims are EVERYWHERE in essays. This assignment was designed to help you recognize just how MANY there are and to report on your discovery.

    Does that help?
    Is it worth revising your work for a grade improvement?
    If you do, put this back into Feedback Please and I’ll take another look.
