Question one
The reason for selecting Alzheimer's disease news story is that it has resulted in many deaths (Alzheimer's Association, 2016). Also, millions of US citizens were diagnosed with this disorder in one year, and so the disease is becoming a deadly disease that needed addressing. What seems compelling from the news story is that a person can develop the disease after 66 seconds. Scientifically, the disease is so dangerous that it devastates the brain so quickly.
Question two
I didn't recognize much of Alzheimer's disease; all I discerned was that it is a disorder that affects the brain cell (Alzheimer's Association, 2016). I also knew that amnesia and dementia are symptoms of AD. Well, I didn't know the disease is a killer one, so some of my assumptions included that only a few people are victims.
Question three
Some concepts from the course that link with the news story include exploring the topic, making observations about the problem, interpreting data from the news story, and making final judgments about the issue (Avin, 2019). By examining and exploring the topic, I can acquire skills and knowledge of how deadly it is, including its symptoms
Question four
What measures can be put in place to ensure death cases caused by Alzheimer's disease are lowered?
Question five
This question is appropriate to natural scientists because, by finding measures to curb this disease, the cases of people dying will lessen. Also, scientists will pull up their socks to ensure appropriate measures are identified to help minimize the cases of patients dying (Avin, 2019). They will do researches to come up with the measures
