Read the excerpt from "a latina judge's voice" by hon. sonia sotomayor. if i had pursued my career in my undergraduate history major, i would likely provide you with a very academic description of what being a latino or latina means. for example, i could define latinos as those peoples and cultures populated or colonized by spain who maintained or adopted spanish or spanish creole as their language of communication. you can tell that i have been very well educated. that antiseptic description, however, does not really explain the appeal of morcilla—pig’s intestine—to an american-born child. it does not provide an adequate explanation of why individuals like us, many of whom are born in this completely different american culture, still identify so strongly with those communities in which our parents were born and raised. what does sotomayor accomplish by using the words "morcilla—pig's intestine"? sotomayor brings the audience's attention to the uniqueness of her culture. sotomayor creates a mood of sadness to emphasize the loss of her culture. sotomayor establishes herself as being educated in culinary arts. sotomayor forces the audience to consider the benefits of a vegan lifestyle.

The correct answer is "Sotomayor brings the audience's attention to the uniqueness of her culture". "A Latina Judge's Voice" is a lecture given in 2002 by Judge Sonia Sotomayor. Judge Sotomayor talks about the idea that the race and gender of a judge will and should influence that judge's decisions and suggests that there are no “objective” legal rules, only various perspectives. In this case, Sotomayor uses the words "morcilla—pig's intestine" to engage and make it relevant to the audience.

By using the words "morcilla-pig's intestine", Sotomayor brings the audience's attention to the uniqueness of her culture.

many were disgusted, nauseated and shook their heads with disapproval upon finding out about the recycling of water process. however, they do not seem to understand that this process actually saves water.

although individuals may argue that it is unhealthy, and or unsafe to drink water that is "from toilet to tap" , the water is 100% safe to drink and involves forcing the water across a membrane, which "removes   any impurities, including viruses, pharmaceuticals and dissolved minerals" , according to paul rozin, a psychology professor who studies revulsion.

i agree that that the thought of drinking water that once ran through someones kitchen sink isn't quite appealing, but recycled wastewater is safe to drink. it also saves water. "the city produces nine million gallons a day" claims russell schreiber, the city’s director of public works.

recycled waste water has absolutely no health concerns whatsoever. when wastewater goes into a system, it's absorbed back into the ground. thus, it goes into a sewer system, then goes through a treatment process that removes contaminants before being released. nonetheless, there is no problem in drinking water that has been recycled.

"in drought-ed california, there are six state agencies that use wastewater that comes from an intellectual property source," according to the university of california, riverside. studies show that this water is completely safe to drink, however, it still doesn't mean people are going to happily pour it in a water glass.

researchers hope it "may make consumers more amenable to drinking recycled wastewater," extraordinarily, women who have a higher "disgust reaction" and make most consumer purchasing decisions.
