Over the course of this semester I learned a lot about myself as a writer. This English 101 class
has really allowed me to expand my essay structure and ways of thinking. This was my first college
writing course and it has given me much more freedom when writing because in high school I felt
limited and like what we were writing was not very important. In high school I would write essays
to just to fulfill the required word or page count and to a degree I still feel like this but maybe that is
why I am an engineering major but in this course I actually was able to express my ideas and for the
first time really test the limits of my writing capabilities. I really enjoyed being able to incorporate
my voice more in my essays and I believe...show more content...
The most important improvement for me in this course was on my grammar. I was not aware of
the comma rules before. It was shocking to see where commas are to be put and the places that I
usually miss. The Hacker lessons we did in and out of class on commas have improved my
grammar significantly. Looking back through all of my graded essays it is unbelievable how
many commas I have actually missed. Also, writing the essays in MLA format and including
work cited entries and quotations, has helped me become more comfortable with it. When I write
essays now, I do not hesitate or get anxious if I have to add a work cited entry. However, even
though I have know a little bit more of when to use commas and have a little bit more knowledge
about grammar there is still a lot of room for improvement. Some areas where I need to improve
include transitions between paragraphs, being to repetitive, and my conclusions. This class has
definitely helped me make my transitions better; however they still could use some improvement. I
have to make sure that the reader can comprehend my thought process and that my transitions do
not get in the way of the flow of the paper. In some of the rough drafts for my essays I could not
find links between paragraphs at all but after work shopping in class I believe that they have
significantly improved. I also need to make sure that I do not repeat the same ideas or words too

Learning Styles : A Learning Style Assessment
A learning style is a term used to describe the ways in which people gather, interpret, and store
information. Each style can be broken down into a category based on sensory needs: auditory, visual,
and tactile. The presumption is that you will best retain the information presented to you if the
conditions of your learning style meet. Based on the idea that learning styles exist, I consider myself
a visual learner. I prefer to write instructions and keep my thoughts organized. I generate ideas based
on reading examples or watching instructional videos. As a child, my preferences were lined
primarily with auditory learning. I could easily remember things that spoken to me. As our
personalities develop and environment changes, so do our learning styles.
A learning style assessment is a good way to gather information about your primary learning style.
A series of questions are asked to determine your sensory preferences. Our learning environment
can play a role in how well we will retain the information given to us. We may use different
learning styles based on the situation. A learning style assessment offers a variety of scenarios to
assess the way you learn most of the time. The questions vary from the type of books you enjoy to
what you do while you wait in line at a store checkout. According to the assessment, my learning
style is 40% Auditory, 35% Visual, and 25% Tactile. As a primarily auditory learner, "you learn best
by hearing and listening" as well as "hum or talk

Abortion
In 2008, twelve women taking resident in the U.S. died due to legal abortions performed during the
second or third trimesters of pregnancy. Abortion should be available to all females living in the
United States, but must be a legal citizen to have late abortions, which are during the second or third
trimesters of pregnancy. Abortion is a right that women have, and the Fourth Amendment "Search
and Seizure" supports it. Fewer women will exercise abortion if it is kept legal in the U.S. Late
abortions are dangerous, so only legal citizens of the U.S. may have second or third trimester
abortions. In the 1820's, various ideas against abortions began...show more content...
Many CPCs (Crisis Pregnancy Centers) mislead women into thinking that abortions cause breast
cancer, that birth–control pills cause abortions, and that abortion can lead to sterility. CPCs do
anything to talk a woman out of having a legal abortion. Late abortions are performed during the
second or third trimesters. A method of late abortion is a saline injection. This is when a needle is

Essay on Technology Is Changing the Mind
The clock is ticking, the work is piling up, and with only a few hours to go before sunrise you stop
and realize that you have just read some fifty pages and absorbed almost nothing. Some would agree
when I say that this situation epitomizes one of the common problems of the Net Generation. With
the help of the Internet, not only has every aspect of life gotten faster and more efficient, but it has
changed the way people process information and perform tasks. In addition, while technology does
have its benefits, the extensive use of the internet is affecting the way people think.
It is simple to brush aside the ability to concentrate as a menial task that everyone can do, but when
it gets right down to it, is it easy to devote your...show more content...
As a result, it becomes much more difficult to sustain focus on reading prose that is long and takes
more effort to absorb.
Further neuroscience research shows that extensive use of the internet may physically be changing
our brains. Our minds adapt to new ideas and concept everyday and when introduced to a new task
or job, our brains change as "new neural pathways that give instructions to our bodies"
("What...Plasticity?") open up. Brain plasticity, "the capacity of the brain to change with learning"
(Michelon) can occur at any age and is responsible for instructing our brains to perform a task. New
neural wires are created when you learn something new, but those same connections can also be
destroyed, for instance when you forget a person's name, signaling the failing of a person's memory
("What...Plasticity?"). The more time spent on the Internet, the more our brains grow more
accustomed to processing simplified snippets of information very quickly, and because Internet
articles become easier to read and skim over, it appeals more to the mind than denser and longer
printed text.
As printed text becomes more difficult to read, reading as a hobby has gotten a lot less attractive to
some people. UCLA psychology professor Patricia Greenfield points out in her studies, "reading

Workaholics Essay
INTRODUCTION
Why did I choose to write about workaholics? The main reason is that the general picture about
these people is bad, but there are a lot of them around us and very often we admire them. They are
doing exactly what they love – work – and they can never have enough of it. Although they spend
most of their time working, surprisingly they are happy. They show so good results in what they do.
But the consequences are great. Family life is disrupted, intellectual horizons narrow and the
consequences to the workaholic's health are severe: fat, lack of exercise and stress. Why do people
become workaholics? When a person becomes workaholic is there a way back? How should people
around him act in order to keep both him and themselves...show more content...
Nobody can tell exactly how but there is a theory that workaholism starts at really early stages of
life. Marilyn Machlowitz says in her book Workaholics supports this theory and says that this whole
process starts when children play games that are connected with real time jobs or they play games
connected with getting money such as selling lemonade or old magazines. She also says that
children of workaholics are about to become ones in their later life development. The addiction to the
child of a workaholic is not passed actively. The workaholics don't tell their children to work or
not to work a lot. The reason is that children often want to be as successful as their parents.
Machlowitz later on in her book also says that some children think if they don't show the best
results in school their parents will not love them and therefore start working more than they should.
But however it is not only the childhood that makes people workaholics. Although it might be the
best period to make person think like a workaholic, the adult phase of life is the most important.
The most common target of workaholism is people that have high responsibility jobs. Their
motivation is fear. Workaholics on high positions just hate to fail and feel inferior to all other
workers that are bellow them. Therefore they are double–checking all possibilities that are

Health Insurance Essay
The main function for health care financing is to pay for health insurance premium and reimburse
health providers for services delivered. Still, there is a crucial challenge when creating health
insurance plans, provide coverage for "health care needs without encouraging unnecessary
spending." (Maas) Over time, health care financing has been evolving, and now consumers can
acquire health insurance through government programs like Medicare, which it is for the elderly, for
certain individuals with disabilities and end–stage renal disease. Therefore, any person who meets
the requirements can enroll to this program. Also, there is Medicaid, which it is the program for the
poor, and Children's Health Insurance Program best known as CHIP, which insure kids who come
from low–income families. Nonetheless, there are several types of private insurance like
self–insured plans, individual private health insurance, Medigap, and group insurance program,
which it is "... a substantial number of people in the group will purchase insurance through its
sponsor." (Shi, 2019, p. 224) Further, thanks to the diversity and wide range of health insurance

219) Consequently, moral hazard has a negative impact in health care financing since people are
less likely to take care of their health when they have the ease to frequently consult a doctor and use
any medical service at any time, therefore with health insurance there is an increase in health care
spending, "but the value of this care is less than its cost, generating... loss." (Nyman, 2004)
Additionally, since such services are reimbursed to health care providers by health care financing
there is a "potential to increase health care costs." (Thoma,

Compare And Contrast Apa And Mla Format
The different types of formatting I had to learn in college is getting out of hand. The all of the
different formats are loosely connected. The MLA format and endnotes are very similar in that
they are found at end of a paper, but you do not give put the author last name and page number
after it. I choose to use footnotes, because my laptop cannot decide what it wants to do. Another
difference is the lack of putting your last name before the page number in the header, but is similar

Also, many professors only teach us MLA style, but this class can teach us two types of essay,
MLA and APA. I think that's great because APA also is popular, it's useful for us to know these
two types of essays. And from this class, I also learned that when we are writing causal
assignment, the most important reason should list at the last of all reasons rather than at the first
position. At last, I have some suggestions about REVEL. I tried to do the quiz on the revel but the
website said the quiz has not been assigned. However, I used it on my society class in the first

MLA Rough Draft
1.When writing, whether you paraphrase or directly quote someone else's ideas anywhere in your
paper, you must document the use of those borrowed ideas with an internal citation notation. In
MLA, there are two basic features of an internal citation. What are they?
In–text citation – This is a parenthetical citation within the paper that refers the reader to a list of
works cited. It commonly includes the author of the source and a page number, and punctuation
separates the author's last name and the page number. Nor is the abbreviation p. (for "page") used.
The period that ends the sentence appears after the closing parenthesis. 2.In MLA, if you work

In MLA, how are the works cited entries organized on the Work(s) Cited page?
пѓ Tell me how to arrange a works cited list on the page. No example required.
пЃ¶Create a new page at the end of your paper for a "Works Cited" list. Center the words "Works
Cited" at the top of the page. Double space after the title and begin entering citations.
пЃ¶Entries are listed alphabetically by the last name of the author or by the first major word of the
title if no author is given. If a source has more than one author, it is alphabetized by the last name of
the author whose name appears first. The entries are not numbered.
пЃ¶Entries are double–spaced.
пЃ¶The first line of each entry begins at the left margin. If more than one line is needed to complete
the entry, additional lines are indented five spaces or half an inch (this is called a hanging indent).
6.In MLA, if the source's identity is not worked into (written as part of) your sentence structure, how
does the internal citation look the first time you create it? Use your last name and page number 123
to illustrate your answer.
To correctly answer question 6, show me (don't tell me) how an internal citation looks the first time
you cite it in your paper, using your name as the source and page number 123 to complete your
response. You don't need to write a sentence first, just show me the

Critical Analysis: MLA Format
Critical Analysis
For the past week we have been learning about critical analysis essays. Before coming to
composition I didn't know much about critical analysis essays, I knew they were conducted in

Minecraft Essay
Minecraft is a game where the player uses their imagination to shape the world around them using
the resources they find. In the world everything is shaped like a block or a cube, this includes the
trees, the dirt, the water, the clouds, even the sun, everything. This simple game hasn't even been
released yet but has already sold over one million copies. Minecraft was created by one man,
Markus "Notch" Persson, and this is his story. What makes the story of Minecraft so unique is that
it was created by Notch and only Notch. Notch had a job before Minecraft, working on games for a
company. He started to work on Minecraft in his free time but after a giant popularity spike he
realized that it could be a hit, so he quit his job and began...show more content...
The game sells around 10,000 copies per day. It has become a cultural phenomenon and on
January 12, 2011 sales passed the one million mark, but they continued to rise. With popularity
increasing, big name comics like "Penny Arcade" and "Hejibits" discovered the game too and
published comic strips about minecraft, leading to even further sales. Minecraft makes $250,000
a day and continues to do so. On June 13, 2011, Minecraft passed 2.5 million sales. Today Mojang
has 10 employees. Markus Persson, Jens Bergensten, Daniel Kaplan, Junkboy, Jakob Porser, Carl
Manneh, Tobias Mollstam, Aron Neiminen, Daniel Frisk, and Daniel Rosenfeld. These few
people make up the team that continues to work towards Minecraft's future. But with so few
employees things take time. Even though the game has not been officially released, people who
buy the game get a copy of what it is right now as the updates are being pushed out. With such
success Mojang is the target of some heavy criticism from blogs, critics, and even their own fans.
One speculation from fans is that Minecraft will be the company's 1 hit wonder. What happens if it
truly is a one hit wonder? Will the company go down under? Will it be the end of Mojang? Will
they join a publisher in order to stay afloat and lose their title of "indie?" Another speculation
concerns Mojang's next game that has absolutely nothing to do with Minecraft, not even in the same
genre. What if nobody likes the game? What

MLA Format Research Paper
The MLA Format gives students a standard on which to write on. Students are expected to write
in such a way that it is professional and informative. A person would not expect to get a job if he
showed up to the interview in shorts and a tee shirt, because they would not have the professional
appearance for an employer to think highly of them. If a paper is written in the incorrect format,
than the person reviewing the paper will not feel that the paper is creditable or they would feel the
writer just did not put in the effort. MLA formatting makes papers fit a uniformed look. With
academic paper being formatted the same way, the paper becomes more comprehensible. Citations
that are formatted the same can be more easily matched up with their

Photoshop Is Bad
Photoshop is Evil
The media plays a tremendous part in our everyday lives. It affects how we eat, how we dress, and
our self–esteem. Whether it's a heavily photo shopped model in a magazine, or a fad diet that
encourages unhealthy beauty standards. The stress that these standards place on men and women
have been heavily correlated with increases in eating disorders. The perpetuation of being extremely
thin in the media has a huge impact on young people and children especially, because they are still
learning what is considered normal, and will attempt to copy the esthetics of what they see in
magazines if they aren't taught what is a healthy body to have. Mass media portrays men and women

Young people are more susceptible to media influences regarding body image. Every decade seems
to favor a different body shape. The 50s' were all about having a curvy, womanly figure, while the
20s' favored extremely thin, boyish body shapes. Even today among different cultures and sub
cultures one can notice differences in what figure is considered attractive. Media, being a form of
communication, can transmit ideas and perceptions and even influence attributes and beliefs. Ending
this mass self–esteem problem won't be easy, but by increasing the variety in body shapes
presented in media we can start to accept all bodies as beautiful and perhaps encourage young
people to embrace what they were given rather than starving themselves to try to attain the
impossible. However, since this doesn't seem to be happening fast enough, helping people to
develop a sense of self early on may play a huge role in their self–confidence and give them a
stronger base of self–worth. By decreasing their vulnerably and teaching them to question media we
will not only create well rounded adults, but ones who can think critically of the world around them

Pro Euthanasia Argument in Mla Format Essay
Argument Essay
Euthanasia
Active euthanasia should be permitted as a medical treatment to allow people the right to die with
dignity without pain and in peace. Euthanasia, also known as assisted suicide or mercy killing, takes
on many different forms. When most Americans think of euthanasia, they think of a specific form
that is referred to as "active euthanasia" which means to actively do something that will end a
patient's life with or without that individual's consent. When euthanasia is performed in an
involuntary manner it is usually because the patient is comatose, unconscious, or otherwise unable to
communicate whether or not they want to have their life prolonged through artificial means. In such
cases, the physician makes an...show more content...
in Petrou 23). Had Hans Knottenbelt been living in any of the forty–nine out of fifty American states
where euthanasia is illegal, the sight of his death would have been anything but beautiful. His
daughter describes what an average night was like for her father while he was suffering from Lou
Gehrig's disease: "My Dad woke up in the evenings like a scared rabbit. He was so scared. Not
scared of dying, but scared of suffocation, of the way he would die" (qtd. in Petrou 22). Without
the option of peacefully ending his life, Knottenbelt's fears would have become reality. The most
likely scenario would have been for him to wake up in the middle of the night and discover his
airway blocked up with fluids. In a panic, he would have furiously rung the bell beside his bed to
alert his family he needed help, as he did on a near nightly basis. This time his help would either
arrive too late, or be unable to clear his windpipe. Knottenbelt would have died in one of the most
excruciating ways imaginable. The unlucky family member who had come to his side to try to
help him would be forced to watch him violently struggle for air right up until the moment of his
death. Frank Collins from Baruch College wrote an essay titled "To die or not to die" which gives
another prime example of a case where active euthanasia should be practiced. He writes about the
tragic story of a French woman by the

Like summarizing, and writing an essay I knew how to do it, but going in and listening to the
speaker explain it to us helped a lot. I learned more on how to use the thesaurus, and all the different

MLA format is something I have always kind of needed help with. Until this semester for some
reason I could never really cite my sources that well. Its something I knew how to do, but when it
came time to do it my mind went blank. When you went over everything on the bored that helped
me so much (also because I took notes), but only because you told us to take them. With MLA

know that till I got to this class.
In summary, all these skills will be helpful for my next few college years, and when I go off to get

The Digital Age Essay
The Digital Age
The digital age is staring us in the face from the near future. We already see countless instances of
digital technology emerging more and more in our every day lives. Cell phones are equipped with
voice recognition software, and are able to take photographs and send them wirelessly across the
globe, almost instantaneously. When information is captured and transmitted into a digital format,
possibilities for that data become endless. Soon we will no longer be inconvenienced with reality;
all of our sensory shopping experiences will be converted to digital information and will be fed to
us through our computers. Digital information is in a much more malleable format. It can easily be

The information created will be able to be shared by anyone with a computer. The power base that
the digital age relies on for existence, is technology. The rapid developing technology is absolutely
necessary for the digital age to exist. Without super powerful microchips, and high bandwidth
transfer wires, the digital age would be a figment of our imagination. Digital technology is computer
based, so the millions of calculations per second, and ability to transfer large amounts of data over
long distances are absolutely necessary. Without computers, the data might be collected; but there
would be nothing to process and transfer the information.
When new technology is invented, it is sometimes distributed to a society that might not be ready
for it. Few corporations consider this and are only interested in spreading their product to the
consumer as soon as possible. New technology is often flawed and taken advantage of by
individuals who know how to manipulate it. This is a considerably large problem when dealing with
digital technology. Digital information is not a three dimension tangible object. So it is easily
tampered with and destroyed without people noticing. When the damage is finally noticed, the party
responsible is usually untraceable and in a completely different area of the world to begin with.

Mla Format Essay Generator

  • 1. Over the course of this semester I learned a lot about myself as a writer. This English 101 class has really allowed me to expand my essay structure and ways of thinking. This was my first college writing course and it has given me much more freedom when writing because in high school I felt limited and like what we were writing was not very important. In high school I would write essays to just to fulfill the required word or page count and to a degree I still feel like this but maybe that is why I am an engineering major but in this course I actually was able to express my ideas and for the first time really test the limits of my writing capabilities. I really enjoyed being able to incorporate my voice more in my essays and I believe...show more content... The most important improvement for me in this course was on my grammar. I was not aware of the comma rules before. It was shocking to see where commas are to be put and the places that I usually miss. The Hacker lessons we did in and out of class on commas have improved my grammar significantly. Looking back through all of my graded essays it is unbelievable how many commas I have actually missed. Also, writing the essays in MLA format and including work cited entries and quotations, has helped me become more comfortable with it. When I write essays now, I do not hesitate or get anxious if I have to add a work cited entry. However, even though I have know a little bit more of when to use commas and have a little bit more knowledge about grammar there is still a lot of room for improvement. Some areas where I need to improve include transitions between paragraphs, being to repetitive, and my conclusions. This class has definitely helped me make my transitions better; however they still could use some improvement. I have to make sure that the reader can comprehend my thought process and that my transitions do not get in the way of the flow of the paper. In some of the rough drafts for my essays I could not find links between paragraphs at all but after work shopping in class I believe that they have significantly improved. I also need to make sure that I do not repeat the same ideas or words too many Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Learning Styles : A Learning Style Assessment A learning style is a term used to describe the ways in which people gather, interpret, and store information. Each style can be broken down into a category based on sensory needs: auditory, visual, and tactile. The presumption is that you will best retain the information presented to you if the conditions of your learning style meet. Based on the idea that learning styles exist, I consider myself a visual learner. I prefer to write instructions and keep my thoughts organized. I generate ideas based on reading examples or watching instructional videos. As a child, my preferences were lined primarily with auditory learning. I could easily remember things that spoken to me. As our personalities develop and environment changes, so do our learning styles. A learning style assessment is a good way to gather information about your primary learning style. A series of questions are asked to determine your sensory preferences. Our learning environment can play a role in how well we will retain the information given to us. We may use different learning styles based on the situation. A learning style assessment offers a variety of scenarios to assess the way you learn most of the time. The questions vary from the type of books you enjoy to what you do while you wait in line at a store checkout. According to the assessment, my learning style is 40% Auditory, 35% Visual, and 25% Tactile. As a primarily auditory learner, "you learn best by hearing and listening" as well as "hum or talk Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Mla Format Jean Lin Ms. Kasababian Language Arts Honors 30 November 2012 Abortion In 2008, twelve women taking resident in the U.S. died due to legal abortions performed during the second or third trimesters of pregnancy. Abortion should be available to all females living in the United States, but must be a legal citizen to have late abortions, which are during the second or third trimesters of pregnancy. Abortion is a right that women have, and the Fourth Amendment "Search and Seizure" supports it. Fewer women will exercise abortion if it is kept legal in the U.S. Late abortions are dangerous, so only legal citizens of the U.S. may have second or third trimester abortions. In the 1820's, various ideas against abortions began...show more content... Many CPCs (Crisis Pregnancy Centers) mislead women into thinking that abortions cause breast cancer, that birth–control pills cause abortions, and that abortion can lead to sterility. CPCs do anything to talk a woman out of having a legal abortion. Late abortions are performed during the second or third trimesters. A method of late abortion is a saline injection.

  • 4. Essay on Technology Is Changing the Mind The clock is ticking, the work is piling up, and with only a few hours to go before sunrise you stop and realize that you have just read some fifty pages and absorbed almost nothing. Some would agree when I say that this situation epitomizes one of the common problems of the Net Generation. With the help of the Internet, not only has every aspect of life gotten faster and more efficient, but it has changed the way people process information and perform tasks. In addition, while technology does have its benefits, the extensive use of the internet is affecting the way people think. It is simple to brush aside the ability to concentrate as a menial task that everyone can do, but when it gets right down to it, is it easy to devote your...show more content... As a result, it becomes much more difficult to sustain focus on reading prose that is long and takes more effort to absorb. Further neuroscience research shows that extensive use of the internet may physically be changing our brains. Our minds adapt to new ideas and concept everyday and when introduced to a new task or job, our brains change as "new neural pathways that give instructions to our bodies" ("What...Plasticity?") open up. Brain plasticity, "the capacity of the brain to change with learning" (Michelon) can occur at any age and is responsible for instructing our brains to perform a task. New neural wires are created when you learn something new, but those same connections can also be destroyed, for instance when you forget a person's name, signaling the failing of a person's memory ("What...Plasticity?"). The more time spent on the Internet, the more our brains grow more accustomed to processing simplified snippets of information very quickly, and because Internet articles become easier to read and skim over, it appeals more to the mind than denser and longer printed text. As printed text becomes more difficult to read, reading as a hobby has gotten a lot less attractive to some people. UCLA psychology professor Patricia Greenfield points out in her studies, "reading develops imagination, induction, Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 6. Workaholics Essay INTRODUCTION Why did I choose to write about workaholics? The main reason is that the general picture about these people is bad, but there are a lot of them around us and very often we admire them. They are doing exactly what they love – work – and they can never have enough of it. Although they spend most of their time working, surprisingly they are happy. They show so good results in what they do. But the consequences are great. Family life is disrupted, intellectual horizons narrow and the consequences to the workaholic's health are severe: fat, lack of exercise and stress. Why do people become workaholics? When a person becomes workaholic is there a way back? How should people around him act in order to keep both him and themselves...show more content... Nobody can tell exactly how but there is a theory that workaholism starts at really early stages of life. Marilyn Machlowitz says in her book Workaholics supports this theory and says that this whole process starts when children play games that are connected with real time jobs or they play games connected with getting money such as selling lemonade or old magazines. She also says that children of workaholics are about to become ones in their later life development. The addiction to the child of a workaholic is not passed actively. The workaholics don't tell their children to work or not to work a lot. The reason is that children often want to be as successful as their parents. Machlowitz later on in her book also says that some children think if they don't show the best results in school their parents will not love them and therefore start working more than they should. But however it is not only the childhood that makes people workaholics. Although it might be the best period to make person think like a workaholic, the adult phase of life is the most important. The most common target of workaholism is people that have high responsibility jobs. Their motivation is fear. Workaholics on high positions just hate to fail and feel inferior to all other workers that are bellow them. Therefore they are double–checking all possibilities that are Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Health Insurance Essay The main function for health care financing is to pay for health insurance premium and reimburse health providers for services delivered. Still, there is a crucial challenge when creating health insurance plans, provide coverage for "health care needs without encouraging unnecessary spending." (Maas) Over time, health care financing has been evolving, and now consumers can acquire health insurance through government programs like Medicare, which it is for the elderly, for certain individuals with disabilities and end–stage renal disease. Therefore, any person who meets the requirements can enroll to this program. Also, there is Medicaid, which it is the program for the poor, and Children's Health Insurance Program best known as CHIP, which insure kids who come from low–income families. Nonetheless, there are several types of private insurance like self–insured plans, individual private health insurance, Medigap, and group insurance program, which it is "... a substantial number of people in the group will purchase insurance through its sponsor." (Shi, 2019, p. 224) Further, thanks to the diversity and wide range of health insurance ...show more content... 219) Consequently, moral hazard has a negative impact in health care financing since people are less likely to take care of their health when they have the ease to frequently consult a doctor and use any medical service at any time, therefore with health insurance there is an increase in health care spending, "but the value of this care is less than its cost, generating... loss." (Nyman, 2004) Additionally, since such services are reimbursed to health care providers by health care financing there is a "potential to increase health care costs."

  • 8. Compare And Contrast Apa And Mla Format The different types of formatting I had to learn in college is getting out of hand. The all of the different formats are loosely connected. The MLA format and endnotes are very similar in that they are found at end of a paper, but you do not give put the author last name and page number after it. I choose to use footnotes, because my laptop cannot decide what it wants to do. Another difference is the lack of putting your last name before the page number in the header, but is similar is APA Format.

  • 9. Compare And Contrast Mla And Apa Also, many professors only teach us MLA style, but this class can teach us two types of essay, MLA and APA. I think that's great because APA also is popular, it's useful for us to know these two types of essays. And from this class, I also learned that when we are writing causal assignment, the most important reason should list at the last of all reasons rather than at the first position. At last, I have some suggestions about REVEL. I tried to do the quiz on the revel but the website said the quiz has not been assigned. However, I used it on my society class in the first semester. So I have some thoughts about it. Frankly, I don't think revel suits for our class, especially the quiz. The quiz always focuses on the contents in the text book, Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. MLA Rough Draft 1.When writing, whether you paraphrase or directly quote someone else's ideas anywhere in your paper, you must document the use of those borrowed ideas with an internal citation notation. In MLA, there are two basic features of an internal citation. What are they? In–text citation – This is a parenthetical citation within the paper that refers the reader to a list of works cited. It commonly includes the author of the source and a page number, and punctuation separates the author's last name and the page number. Nor is the abbreviation p. (for "page") used. The period that ends the sentence appears after the closing parenthesis. 2.In MLA, if you work (include) the identity of the source into the sentence structure, where do page numbers...show more content... In MLA, how are the works cited entries organized on the Work(s) Cited page? пѓ Tell me how to arrange a works cited list on the page. No example required. пЃ¶Create a new page at the end of your paper for a "Works Cited" list. Center the words "Works Cited" at the top of the page. Double space after the title and begin entering citations. пЃ¶Entries are listed alphabetically by the last name of the author or by the first major word of the title if no author is given. If a source has more than one author, it is alphabetized by the last name of the author whose name appears first. The entries are not numbered. пЃ¶Entries are double–spaced. пЃ¶The first line of each entry begins at the left margin. If more than one line is needed to complete the entry, additional lines are indented five spaces or half an inch (this is called a hanging indent). 6.In MLA, if the source's identity is not worked into (written as part of) your sentence structure, how does the internal citation look the first time you create it? Use your last name and page number 123 to illustrate your answer. To correctly answer question 6, show me (don't tell me) how an internal citation looks the first time you cite it in your paper, using your name as the source and page number 123 to complete your response.

  • 11. Critical Analysis: MLA Format Critical Analysis For the past week we have been learning about critical analysis essays. Before coming to composition I didn't know much about critical analysis essays, I knew they were conducted in MLA Format and they were basically a comparison between two books. After learning more in class I was informed more in–depth about critical analysis essays. In class we were taught that critical analysis essays are to essentially be a comparison between articles, books, and or anything else to help the reader better understand the work. Critical analysis essays are to incorporate a thesis statement to give readers something to engage in when reading your essay, it gives some idea of what this essay is going to be about.

  • 12. Minecraft Essay Minecraft is a game where the player uses their imagination to shape the world around them using the resources they find. In the world everything is shaped like a block or a cube, this includes the trees, the dirt, the water, the clouds, even the sun, everything. This simple game hasn't even been released yet but has already sold over one million copies. Minecraft was created by one man, Markus "Notch" Persson, and this is his story. What makes the story of Minecraft so unique is that it was created by Notch and only Notch. Notch had a job before Minecraft, working on games for a company. He started to work on Minecraft in his free time but after a giant popularity spike he realized that it could be a hit, so he quit his job and began...show more content... The game sells around 10,000 copies per day. It has become a cultural phenomenon and on January 12, 2011 sales passed the one million mark, but they continued to rise. With popularity increasing, big name comics like "Penny Arcade" and "Hejibits" discovered the game too and published comic strips about minecraft, leading to even further sales. Minecraft makes $250,000 a day and continues to do so. On June 13, 2011, Minecraft passed 2.5 million sales. Today Mojang has 10 employees. Markus Persson, Jens Bergensten, Daniel Kaplan, Junkboy, Jakob Porser, Carl Manneh, Tobias Mollstam, Aron Neiminen, Daniel Frisk, and Daniel Rosenfeld. These few people make up the team that continues to work towards Minecraft's future. But with so few employees things take time. Even though the game has not been officially released, people who buy the game get a copy of what it is right now as the updates are being pushed out. With such success Mojang is the target of some heavy criticism from blogs, critics, and even their own fans. One speculation from fans is that Minecraft will be the company's 1 hit wonder. What happens if it truly is a one hit wonder? Will the company go down under? Will it be the end of Mojang? Will they join a publisher in order to stay afloat and lose their title of "indie?" Another speculation concerns Mojang's next game that has absolutely nothing to do with Minecraft, not even in the same genre. What if nobody likes the game? What Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 15. MLA Format Research Paper The MLA Format gives students a standard on which to write on. Students are expected to write in such a way that it is professional and informative. A person would not expect to get a job if he showed up to the interview in shorts and a tee shirt, because they would not have the professional appearance for an employer to think highly of them. If a paper is written in the incorrect format, than the person reviewing the paper will not feel that the paper is creditable or they would feel the writer just did not put in the effort. MLA formatting makes papers fit a uniformed look. With academic paper being formatted the same way, the paper becomes more comprehensible.

  • 16. Photoshop Is Bad Photoshop is Evil The media plays a tremendous part in our everyday lives. It affects how we eat, how we dress, and our self–esteem. Whether it's a heavily photo shopped model in a magazine, or a fad diet that encourages unhealthy beauty standards. The stress that these standards place on men and women have been heavily correlated with increases in eating disorders. The perpetuation of being extremely thin in the media has a huge impact on young people and children especially, because they are still learning what is considered normal, and will attempt to copy the esthetics of what they see in magazines if they aren't taught what is a healthy body to have. Mass media portrays men and women to impossible standards that could never be reached...show more content... Young people are more susceptible to media influences regarding body image. Every decade seems to favor a different body shape. The 50s' were all about having a curvy, womanly figure, while the 20s' favored extremely thin, boyish body shapes. Even today among different cultures and sub cultures one can notice differences in what figure is considered attractive. Media, being a form of communication, can transmit ideas and perceptions and even influence attributes and beliefs. Ending this mass self–esteem problem won't be easy, but by increasing the variety in body shapes presented in media we can start to accept all bodies as beautiful and perhaps encourage young people to embrace what they were given rather than starving themselves to try to attain the impossible. However, since this doesn't seem to be happening fast enough, helping people to develop a sense of self early on may play a huge role in their self–confidence and give them a stronger base of self–worth. By decreasing their vulnerably and teaching them to question media we will not only create well rounded adults, but ones who can think critically of the world around them and change it for the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 17. Pro Euthanasia Argument in Mla Format Essay Argument Essay Euthanasia Active euthanasia should be permitted as a medical treatment to allow people the right to die with dignity without pain and in peace. Euthanasia, also known as assisted suicide or mercy killing, takes on many different forms. When most Americans think of euthanasia, they think of a specific form that is referred to as "active euthanasia" which means to actively do something that will end a patient's life with or without that individual's consent. When euthanasia is performed in an involuntary manner it is usually because the patient is comatose, unconscious, or otherwise unable to communicate whether or not they want to have their life prolonged through artificial means. In such cases, the physician makes an...show more content... in Petrou 23). Had Hans Knottenbelt been living in any of the forty–nine out of fifty American states where euthanasia is illegal, the sight of his death would have been anything but beautiful. His daughter describes what an average night was like for her father while he was suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease: "My Dad woke up in the evenings like a scared rabbit. He was so scared. Not scared of dying, but scared of suffocation, of the way he would die" (qtd. in Petrou 22). Without the option of peacefully ending his life, Knottenbelt's fears would have become reality. The most likely scenario would have been for him to wake up in the middle of the night and discover his airway blocked up with fluids. In a panic, he would have furiously rung the bell beside his bed to alert his family he needed help, as he did on a near nightly basis. This time his help would either arrive too late, or be unable to clear his windpipe. Knottenbelt would have died in one of the most excruciating ways imaginable. The unlucky family member who had come to his side to try to help him would be forced to watch him violently struggle for air right up until the moment of his death. Frank Collins from Baruch College wrote an essay titled "To die or not to die" which gives another prime example of a case where active euthanasia should be practiced. He writes about the tragic story of a French woman by the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 18. The Current Mla Format And Guidelines Mrs. Pruitt's Research Paper Guide Paper Requirements The length of the research paper must be no less than 1,500–words and no more than 2,500–words. The 2,500–word limit does not apply to notes or to the annotated bibliography. In–text citations are required. If your sources are not acknowledged, your paper will receive a zero and will be required to be rewritten for a lower grade because this is considered plagiarism. No more than five quotations are allowed in your paper. The research paper must follow the current MLA format and guidelines to pass. See chart below on how to properly format your paper. Separation of Primary and Secondary Sources are required. Separate your bibliography into two sections: one for primary sources and one for secondary sources. Some sources may be considered either primary or secondary so use your annotations to explain your reason for classifying any sources that are not clearly primary or secondary. Listing a source under both primary and secondary is not allowed. Each component of the research paper will be assigned a grade and each component will then become part of the research paper 's culminating final grade. Grading This grade is calculated to include the component parts of the paper along with the final product.

Also I have learned different tools on summarizing, how to better my skills for peer reviews, new library skills, and MLA format. Most of these I already knew, but you taught us them more in depth, and you gave me better understandings of them. With writing an argumentative paper, it's important to have all the right facts, and make sure you have reliable sources. If you don't have the right facts or reliable sources nobody will want to read your argument; because you wont have the right facts to back up your points.

Like summarizing, and writing an essay I knew how to do it, but going in and listening to the speaker explain it to us helped a lot. I learned more on how to use the thesaurus, and all the different skills he taught us on using key words to looks information up. MLA format is something I have always kind of needed help with. Until this semester for some reason I could never really cite my sources that well. Its something I knew how to do, but when it came time to do it my mind went blank. When you went over everything on the bored that helped me so much (also because I took notes), but only because you told us to take them. With MLA format I learned that when quoting, if its more than three lines you have to use block quote. I didn't know that till I got to this class. In summary, all these skills will be helpful for my next few college years, and when I go off to get jobs. Thank you for teaching us everything you have.
