Corporate and Personal Income Tax Fraud
Corporate and personal income tax fraud is not a new phenomenon; it is a part of day to day business in the global economy. Where there is worship
of money there seems to be fraud in one form or another. China is no different than any other country on this planet; it has honest corporations and
dishonest ones also. China is listed as number 8 on the top 10 countries for tax fraud (Berr, 2011). United States is still listed as number one and
Canada not even in the top 20. Hong Kong is listed as four as "The ten Biggest Tax Havens within the World" (Said, 2013).
i.Corporate Income Tax / Evasion
As recently as January the 25th of 2014, the mainland's tax commissioner, Wang Jun, says international co–operation to combat tax fraud and evasion
will be stepped up according to the South China Morning Post (Shih, 2014). China would fulfil its responsibilities as a big nation in international tax
initiatives, while using international co–operation to reform its tax system, Wang said at an Organisation for Economic Co–operation and Development
(OECD) taxation forum in Paris this week. (Shih, 2014). Fatca, which will take effect on July 1, requires foreign financial institutions to report to the
US government information about American taxpayers or foreign firms in which US taxpayers hold substantial ownership.
In 2012 Beijing recovered taxes worth US $5.7 billion, 30 times the amount in 2008, the tax administration said.

Noah Biggins: A Short Story
Just the other day, Noah Biggins, who weighs 350 pounds, lost his remote in the midst of watching some television. Despite several wasted minutes
halfheartedly searching the couch cushions, his efforts were fruitless. Soon his favorite show would come on. Mr. Biggins considered leaving the TV
on the current channel, but then realized the news was fast approaching. Action was necessary. "I had to do something," he explained. "It was either
that or watch the nine o'clock news. That's when they talk about politics. I would literally die of boredom." Despite his incorrect use of the word
literally, Mr. Biggins did indeed have a problem. There was an entire living room between him and the buttons on the TV required to change the

Napster & MP3: Redefining The Music Industry
Introduction
Napster was the first, very innovative music technology application that allowed users to download MP3 from the internet and other peers for free, or
at a cost. Napster strongly adapted the word sharing and put it their own terms to avoid any copyright infringement but it ended badly on their part. This
disruptive technology was leading the market and had over 60 million users by 2001. Although very similar technologies were soon after developed,
Napster was still on top and lead the market. Many users knew exactly what they wanted but getting it seemed to be the difficult part once Napster and
the RIAA went into a legal battle. More commonly, the industry has been shaped... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In terms of the artists and musicians, I believe that although they started out as losers, in the end, they ended up winning because for already
discovered, well–known singers, they are getting the royalties they are owed and for new, up and coming artists, they are getting their name out
there in a much less expensive way than before and still making some sort of money to support their dream. The agents and label companies will
become winners as well through the transformations. The larger companies will most likely lose some strength and then gain back once they begin
to find new artists and those artists begin to take off. The risk/reward of the digital market here will yield much more reward and their financial
strength from the start will help them be a winner here. I feel the biggest loser in throughout the entire industry transformation is the packaging and
CD production industry. Because CDs are no longer at an all time high, they will no longer be needed. There is very little need for this and it has
almost become a niche market, barely used for music anymore, unless someone is burning their own music onto a CD. Albums being created and sold
solely onto a CD has decreased substantially and within the next few years could become something in the past. This is the biggest loser by far through
the music industry transformation. Although customers might think they are

Gordan Korman's Schooled Analysis
One of the best fitting themes for the book,"Schooled," by Gordan Korman is that no one deserves to be bullied and people should be treated with
dignity and respect. Many characters in this book either are bullied or bully others. For example, Capricorn Anderson tells Darryl that "Violence is
not the answer," (141). At this time, Darryl and Zach Powers are in a fight and Darryl seems to be getting nowhere fighting with his words so he

Miss America Pageant Analysis
"Miss America, National Identity, and the Identity Politics of Whiteness" by Sarah Banet Wieser and "The Patriotic American is a Thin American:
Fatness and National Identity in the Biggest Loser" by Cassandra L. Jones tease out the intricate relationship between beauty, race and citizenship
through the analysis of two popular beauty and fitness competitions the United States, the Miss America pageant and The Biggest Loser television
show. Both argue that the contestants, particularly the winners, are consciously constructed manifestations of the ideal American citizen based on their
physical appearances and the conditions for citizenship that those appearances connote. While these pieces do important work in the analysis of the
nationally recognizable winners of these competitions as embodiments of the ideals of race, physical fitness and attractiveness within the ideal
American citizen, they both fall short in one area that is crucial to the foundations of race, beauty and citizenship: class. Banet–Weiser's analysis of the
Miss America pageant, specifically the 1945 winner Bess Myerson, and the 1995 winner, Heather Whitestone, concludes that the pageant is the site of
racialized and gendered national identity, in which moments like the crowning of these women, "contribute to a broader national politics that
consolidates whiteness as a dominant ideology" (Banet– Weiser, 68). Thus, as representations of who and what American women, who have

Media Bias Analysis
Introduction: During this week I investigated many different news sources and different tactics they use. My research has shown the incredibly strong
bias that the media has. To get a full grasp of the biases I had to use source diversity. My sources ranged from social media, to television, to web–based
articles. Through my research, I discovered the effective and prevalent uses of loaded language, social media, sensationalism, bias in quotes, and
the role of gatekeepers in media. Example 1: Fox News had a segment on President Donald Trump's milestones in office. Fox News is known for
having a Republican bias, and its bias was very prevalent in the use of loaded language. "The Angle" had an infographic saying that Trump
accomplished "a soaring economy" and deported "violent criminal aliens". Fox says "soaring" which implies that the economy is doing greatly due to
Trump, whereas there has... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
On the third, Trump tweeted "The rigged Dem Primary, one of the biggest political stories in years, got ZERO coverage on Fake News Network TV
last night. Disgraceful!". Trump attempts to show the extent of bias in the media exposing that they didn't report a major event. This tweet has bias
towards Trump's personal agenda against the media. Additionally, Trump exposes the strength of the media's gatekeepers and how greatly they can
impact which issues are talked about. Example 3: CNN used both sensationalism and showed bias in how the media refers to people they quote. In
the headline for an article Mattingly and Killough wrote "Trump tells Dems he's a 'big loser' under GOP tax plan". This showed sensationalism and
misuse of a quote because the headline used a minor part of sentence with no context to mean something completely difference. They took two words
and twisted them into saying that Trump called himself a big loser which is a headline that is sensationalist and sure to attract many clicks. Example

Biggest Loser Identity
The popular, and at times controversial, reality television show The Biggest Loser presents multiple ideas about different forms of consumption, work
and identity. Centring on the excessive consumption of food, physical, psychological and emotional labour and 'fatness' as a flawed identity, the
television show often presents unrealistic ideas about the nature of gaining and losing weight. TBL can also be seen to perpetuate the individualisation
of the issue of obeseness rather than acknowledging it as more of an endemic social problem and as such, the show has garnered some criticism from
academics. In turn, by analysing the various messages of identity, consumption and work presented throughout TBL not only can more be discovered
about the... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Predominantly, the show centres on work associated with self improvement and includes an array of physical, emotional and psychological forms
of labour. The show features endless footage of contestants competing in physical challenges and working out under the supervision and guidance
of their team's personal trainer (The Biggest Loser Families, 2015). TBL also features a weekly 'weigh in' where all the contestants discover how
much weight they have lost for that week. In turn, those who "pull big numbers" are rewarded and viewed as having worked very hard for that week
whereas others who lose a little amount of weight not only face the threat of elimination from the competition but also are often chastised by
themselves and others for not putting in enough effort (Plymire 2012:25). Thus, while reality shows such as TBL do bring to the surface ways to
combat obesity and can provide forms of solutions to such problems, often the remedies presented create unrealistic and at times "dangerous
expectations" about the speed and methods that can be used to achieve such success (Sender 2008:574). Indeed, the show hides a lot of the invisible
work that goes on "behind the scenes" in regards to losing weight and altering diets and lifestyles, and gives little airtime to the entire team of health
professionals which help the contestants in their transformation (Klos 2015:639; Staley

In some cases this is from genetic or unknown reasons but in many cases it has to do with the pressure our society and specifically our media puts

Fiji where only one case of an eating disorder had been reported, [and there was] no exposure to westernized television until 1995" (Mulliniks)
produced shocking results. "Within three years of television being introduced to the region, the amount of girls who induced vomiting to control
their weight increased by 11 percent and the amount of girls scoring highly on a test for eating disorder risks increased by 16 percent" (Mulliniks).
These results show a link in media and eating disorders. Only after being exposed to media for 3 years did a regions eating disorder stats go up by

only way the American Dream can be kept alive is through people's own free will. He claims that the dream is not as prominent as it was before, and

demonstrate the author's importance toward this subject. Of how united everyone can help keep the dream alive. 4. Meacham's purpose for discussing

middle–class people are the ones who aspire to achieve the American Dream, more than the lower and upper class. The dream seems to be "slipping

something that others do not. In this case, having money cannot earn you anything more than materialistic things. A person who is not of higher status
can be just as happy as that of someone who is. "no reason why wealth, which is a social product, should not be more equitably controlled and

was very harsh in the aspect of punishing germany for "causing" and being the "aggressor" in the war. Articles 42– 45 were all towards reprimanding

unmet demand from domestic consumers (Landsburg, 2009). The cost to us will be the dead weight loss associated with the restriction of imports.

Nba Offseason Research Papers
We're deep into the dog days of summer, and the NBA offseason is officially cooling down. The NBA Draft has come and gone, big free agents have
drawn their battle lines and people are almost done having a heart attack about Timofey Mozgov getting $16 million per season from the Los Angeles
Lakers. With nothing but the always–exhilarating Summer League games ahead of us, here are the biggest winners and losers of the NBA offseason.
Winners
Boston Celtics
Celtics fans may not have seen the blockbuster trade that they wanted, or the draft prospect that they coveted, but they did land Big Al.
People may not realize it due to the Celtics being the most successful franchise in the history of the NBA, but Boston has never landed a big free ...

The Nets also attempted to poach mediocre role players with huge contracts in Allen Crabbe and Tyler Johnson, but failed to land either player when the
Portland Trail Blazers and Miami Heat matched the offers. Now, the Nets get to crown Jeremy Lin as their biggest free agent signing.
As seasons go by, Brooklyn fans have no other option but to sit and watch as there team gets worse and worse, with no end in sight.
Oklahoma City Thunder
If you look at the Thunder's offseason prior to Kevin Durant's big decision, you can say it was a productive one. The team acquired an intriguing talent
in Victor Oladipo and added another young talent in rookie Domantas Sabonis. Oklahoma City got younger while staying at the same competitive level.
Then Durant left.
Oklahoma City isn't on this list just because Durant left, but because he gave them the kiss of death on his way out the door. It's one thing to have a
team lose a top three talent in the NBA. It's a horse of a different color when he unleashes a looming plague on your franchise.
Durant's departure means Russell Westbrook is likely on his way out too. You know it, I know it, and the Thunder know it. Hopefully, Oklahoma City
can get decent talent in return if they trade Westbrook, but the franchise may never be the

My Body Is Wildly Nearly Everything I Desire Summary
In Roxane Gay's article, "My Body is Wildly Undisciplined and I Deny Myself Nearly Everything I Desire", she talks about the TV show The
Biggest Loser and many other commercials on 'women's networks' that blast you with advertisements about weight loss and healthy diets. Gay talks
about how The Biggest Loser describes people who are "fat" as undisciplined, unhealthy, and far from perfect, which is something the author does not
agree with at all. "This is not a show about people becoming empowered through fitness, though on the surface, the show's slick marketing would have
you believe that. The Biggest Loser is a show about fat as an enemy that must be destroyed, a contagion that must be eradicated. This is a show about
unruly bodies that must be disciplined by any means necessary, and through that discipline, the obese might become more acceptable members of
society. They might find happiness." Shows like The Biggest Loser try to convince us that they are... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Our "omniscient" society has a keen eye that is constantly watching us. Women were trapped in pursuit of physical perfection since the dawn of
time and still are. No wonder men were always much more successful than women. This constant pursuit is a great distraction for women on the
path to success. The issue of body image in America is real and Roxane Gay wants the readers to acknowledge that. When a person is considered
"fat", she/he becomes a matter of public record. That person becomes "everyone else's problem" and everyone else becomes a health guru/doctor that
is eager to educate on dangers of obesity, offer statistics etc. Yes, sure...it wasn't enough you equate a "fat" person to a ticking bomb that can go off at

The, The Biggest Loser, Big World, By Robert Bogdan
"Little People, Big World" and "RuPaul's Drag Race," "The Bachelor" and "Survivor," "The Biggest Loser" and "The Real World" "Miss America" and
"American Idol"–it is difficult to watch American television in the first decade of the twenty–first century without encountering a freak. Britney Spears,
called her 2009, forty–nine show tour through the US, Canada and the UK. Perhaps, more accurately, it is not so much that the circus goes on as that the
circus has been revived in the American imagination. According to Robert Bogdan in his socio–historical study of the freak show in America, the
popularity of the circus had run its course by the 1940s (60), attracting in its waning years a lower class of audience, such as new American
immigrants, the rural poor and the urban working class (55). The exhibition of freaks had become morally incorrect. Strangely, at the turn of the
twenty–first century, America is revealing a renewed fascination with freaks, a fascination that has not been so publicly apparent since the Victorian
era when freak exhibits were all the rage, and not just for backward country folk waiting for the travelling circus to roll through town, but for
sophisticated big city people who frequented P.T. Barnum's famous American Museum at Broadway and Ann Street in New York City. This time
around, it is middle America enjoying the circus on their wide–screen televisions in the privileged privacy of their dens and theater rooms. As the vast

Weight Loss In America
Throughout the years, many people have developed the desire to lose weight, and eat healthier. For a majority people, if you work out and stick to
a healthy diet, you will lose the weight over a certain period of time. Unlike most, some people who are overweight or obese, struggle to lose
weight. Along with the desire to lose weight, in America, a new show came to television. The show I am referring to is The Biggest Loser. The
show made its way to television on October 19, 2004. The show is a competition for people who are obese, to get help from professional trainers. At
the end of the season, the contestant that loses the most weight wins $250,000. In a particular season of The Biggest Loser, back in 2014, a young
woman lost 260lbs and weighed in at 105lbs, by the end of the season. Many people started to make comments about her weight loss, saying, "She
looks anorexic." "She lost too much weight.", "She took steroids." Not long after the incident, an article was written about the debate, of how Rachel

those reasons, not for the sake of winning money or competitions. The author states that the contestants, or anyone who gets to be overweight, should

Critique Of The Biggest Loser Diet
The first diet I chose to describe and critique is "The Biggest Loser Diet." After the American reality TV series The Biggest Loser premiered on NBC
back on October 19, 2004, this diet became an overnight sensation. The most popular Biggest Loser Diet is the 6–week weight loss plan, which falls at
a medium level when referring to the level of effort. But there is also the 2009 "30–Day Jump Start" program as well as the most recent "The Biggest
Loser: The Weight Loss Program to Transform Your Body, Health and Life" which was released back in 2013 (Health.usnews.com, 2015). As with any
plan, this program (6–week weight loss) requires an immense amount of dedication, exercise, and healthy eating. Individuals will be eating a wide
variety of foods from all food groups. Losing weight lessens your risk of type two diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and even certain
cancers. "The Biggest Loser Diet is based on a 4–3–2–1 Pyramid: four servings of fruits and vegetables, three servings of lean protein, two servings of
whole grains, and 200 calories of extras" (WebMD, 2015). Specifically, foods that are high in fiber and low in saturated fat and salt. This allows the
individual to be fuller for longer. It is a known fact that eating five to six appropriately portioned meals and snacks will help keep your blood sugar
down and your hunger content (WebMD, 2015). Filling up on fruits and vegetables is highly encouraged. Individuals may also want to note daily in a

This is against the recommended daily amount of between 20 to 35 percent on these scores.
Saturated fat, both diets have down to about 5 percent, although the DASH diets 2300 mg edges further with an additional percentage (at 6 percent).
These both fall within the borders of the below 10 percent recommendation. On fats therefore, I score them evenly.
Both satisfy the requirement for total carbohydrates to make up between 45 to 65 percent of daily recommended caloric intake. The Biggest Loser
diet at 50 percent whilst the DASH diet at 56 and 55 percent respectively. On that note I score these diets evenly also. Both in most part equally meet
the standard for fiber, although the Biggest Losers 31g falls short of the 34g recommendation for men ages 19 to 30 years old. Further since, a fiber
rich diet has been noted as a key factor in the prevention and reversal and management of diabetes, the DASH diets higher figures–36 and 37 g to the
biggest Loser 31 g in my opinion places the DASH diet on this score, ahead of the Biggest Loser diet.
For protein the recommended benchmark is between 10 to 35 percent of daily caloric intake. Both diets make the grade. The Biggest Loser diet at 30
percent whereas the DASH diet at the lower end of the mark at 18 percent. The reason for this latter figure pertaining to the DASH diet may be
because of the avowed design of the diet to stop hypertension and thus the

"I've got my life back," he declared. "I mean, I feel like a million bucks."
Reading that quote, one might hypothesize that person had survived a stroke or a very severe cancer. However, that person is Mr.Cahill, who lost
239 pounds on "The Biggest Loser" TV show (Kolata 2016). Those inner thoughts and perceptions of Mr.Cahill about his life being taken away when
he was fat and being abnormal demonstrate the medicalization of obesity and its construction by the media along with the power of labeling. In this

Those assumptions of the taken for granted relationship between obesity and health sometimes obscure the real causes that harm patients and lead to
more fat–stigmatization. For instance, it is rare for a fat person to visit a doctor for checkup without hearing the normative advice to try to lose weight
and eat healthy even though the visit might be completely unrelated to weight (Boero 2012: 134). This pre–assumptions and judgements that any fat
person lives an unhealthy life style is already an issue. The negative and automatic mind set of doctors, media and society towards obesity might be
the root of the issue. Indeed, Boero in her book tells us of how gynecological cancer was thought to be more likely in obese women, and many
concluded that obesity caused this type of cancer. However, one study, the WomanCare Plus, found that this cancer can be treated if early screening was
done no matter what your size is (Boero 2012: 132). Moreover, they interviewed patients and found that women with high BMI faced some barriers that
slowed their screening. For example, more than a third of women reported that they didn't want to deal with the negative attitude of doctors towards
their bodies. Also the embarrassment of not finding equipment that fit their size and the disrespectful treatments demotivated

they are gonna start writing or bubbling in random answers and then that can cause them to do worst. Teachers are being told to "teach the test",the
teachers don't want to teach us the same basic things every year, but if they don't then students will be unsuccessful when it comes time to taking the

like Russell Westbrook and James harden who cost upwards of $12,000 each, living you with players that have average cost of $4000 each. Aplayer
like James Harden usually consistently drops 60 fantasy points a night while a player that costs $3000 will not even play and a player that costs $5,000

Corporate And Personal Income Tax Fraud

  • 1. Corporate and Personal Income Tax Fraud Corporate and personal income tax fraud is not a new phenomenon; it is a part of day to day business in the global economy. Where there is worship of money there seems to be fraud in one form or another. China is no different than any other country on this planet; it has honest corporations and dishonest ones also. China is listed as number 8 on the top 10 countries for tax fraud (Berr, 2011). United States is still listed as number one and Canada not even in the top 20. Hong Kong is listed as four as "The ten Biggest Tax Havens within the World" (Said, 2013). i.Corporate Income Tax / Evasion As recently as January the 25th of 2014, the mainland's tax commissioner, Wang Jun, says international co–operation to combat tax fraud and evasion will be stepped up according to the South China Morning Post (Shih, 2014). China would fulfil its responsibilities as a big nation in international tax initiatives, while using international co–operation to reform its tax system, Wang said at an Organisation for Economic Co–operation and Development (OECD) taxation forum in Paris this week. (Shih, 2014). Fatca, which will take effect on July 1, requires foreign financial institutions to report to the US government information about American taxpayers or foreign firms in which US taxpayers hold substantial ownership. In 2012 Beijing recovered taxes worth US $5.7 billion, 30 times the amount in 2008, the tax administration said. It has reported four cases of tax fraud on the mainland in ...

  • 2. Noah Biggins: A Short Story Just the other day, Noah Biggins, who weighs 350 pounds, lost his remote in the midst of watching some television. Despite several wasted minutes halfheartedly searching the couch cushions, his efforts were fruitless. Soon his favorite show would come on. Mr. Biggins considered leaving the TV on the current channel, but then realized the news was fast approaching. Action was necessary. "I had to do something," he explained. "It was either that or watch the nine o'clock news. That's when they talk about politics. I would literally die of boredom." Despite his incorrect use of the word literally, Mr. Biggins did indeed have a problem. There was an entire living room between him and the buttons on the TV required to change the channel. ...

  • 3. Napster Case Study Essay examples Napster & MP3: Redefining The Music Industry Introduction Napster was the first, very innovative music technology application that allowed users to download MP3 from the internet and other peers for free, or at a cost. Napster strongly adapted the word sharing and put it their own terms to avoid any copyright infringement but it ended badly on their part. This disruptive technology was leading the market and had over 60 million users by 2001. Although very similar technologies were soon after developed, Napster was still on top and lead the market. Many users knew exactly what they wanted but getting it seemed to be the difficult part once Napster and the RIAA went into a legal battle. More commonly, the industry has been shaped... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In terms of the artists and musicians, I believe that although they started out as losers, in the end, they ended up winning because for already discovered, well–known singers, they are getting the royalties they are owed and for new, up and coming artists, they are getting their name out there in a much less expensive way than before and still making some sort of money to support their dream. The agents and label companies will become winners as well through the transformations. The larger companies will most likely lose some strength and then gain back once they begin to find new artists and those artists begin to take off. The risk/reward of the digital market here will yield much more reward and their financial strength from the start will help them be a winner here. I feel the biggest loser in throughout the entire industry transformation is the packaging and CD production industry. Because CDs are no longer at an all time high, they will no longer be needed. There is very little need for this and it has almost become a niche market, barely used for music anymore, unless someone is burning their own music onto a CD. Albums being created and sold solely onto a CD has decreased substantially and within the next few years could become something in the past. This is the biggest loser by far through the music industry transformation. Although customers might think they are ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Gordan Korman's Schooled Analysis One of the best fitting themes for the book,"Schooled," by Gordan Korman is that no one deserves to be bullied and people should be treated with dignity and respect. Many characters in this book either are bullied or bully others. For example, Capricorn Anderson tells Darryl that "Violence is not the answer," (141). At this time, Darryl and Zach Powers are in a fight and Darryl seems to be getting nowhere fighting with his words so he decides to fight with his fist. Darryl doesn't realize that Cap is standing in front of him and instead ends up punching Cap in the face rather than his main target, Zach. Cap knows that violence is not going to solve the argument and he tries to explain but that doesn't get through their heads in time for the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. Miss America Pageant Analysis "Miss America, National Identity, and the Identity Politics of Whiteness" by Sarah Banet Wieser and "The Patriotic American is a Thin American: Fatness and National Identity in the Biggest Loser" by Cassandra L. Jones tease out the intricate relationship between beauty, race and citizenship through the analysis of two popular beauty and fitness competitions the United States, the Miss America pageant and The Biggest Loser television show. Both argue that the contestants, particularly the winners, are consciously constructed manifestations of the ideal American citizen based on their physical appearances and the conditions for citizenship that those appearances connote. While these pieces do important work in the analysis of the nationally recognizable winners of these competitions as embodiments of the ideals of race, physical fitness and attractiveness within the ideal American citizen, they both fall short in one area that is crucial to the foundations of race, beauty and citizenship: class. Banet–Weiser's analysis of the Miss America pageant, specifically the 1945 winner Bess Myerson, and the 1995 winner, Heather Whitestone, concludes that the pageant is the site of racialized and gendered national identity, in which moments like the crowning of these women, "contribute to a broader national politics that consolidates whiteness as a dominant ideology" (Banet– Weiser, 68). Thus, as representations of who and what American women, who have historically been used to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. Media Bias Analysis Introduction: During this week I investigated many different news sources and different tactics they use. My research has shown the incredibly strong bias that the media has. To get a full grasp of the biases I had to use source diversity. My sources ranged from social media, to television, to web–based articles. Through my research, I discovered the effective and prevalent uses of loaded language, social media, sensationalism, bias in quotes, and the role of gatekeepers in media. Example 1: Fox News had a segment on President Donald Trump's milestones in office. Fox News is known for having a Republican bias, and its bias was very prevalent in the use of loaded language. "The Angle" had an infographic saying that Trump accomplished "a soaring economy" and deported "violent criminal aliens". Fox says "soaring" which implies that the economy is doing greatly due to Trump, whereas there has... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... On the third, Trump tweeted "The rigged Dem Primary, one of the biggest political stories in years, got ZERO coverage on Fake News Network TV last night. Disgraceful!". Trump attempts to show the extent of bias in the media exposing that they didn't report a major event. This tweet has bias towards Trump's personal agenda against the media. Additionally, Trump exposes the strength of the media's gatekeepers and how greatly they can impact which issues are talked about. Example 3: CNN used both sensationalism and showed bias in how the media refers to people they quote. In the headline for an article Mattingly and Killough wrote "Trump tells Dems he's a 'big loser' under GOP tax plan". This showed sensationalism and misuse of a quote because the headline used a minor part of sentence with no context to mean something completely difference. They took two words and twisted them into saying that Trump called himself a big loser which is a headline that is sensationalist and sure to attract many clicks. Example ...

  • 7. Biggest Loser Identity The popular, and at times controversial, reality television show The Biggest Loser presents multiple ideas about different forms of consumption, work and identity. Centring on the excessive consumption of food, physical, psychological and emotional labour and 'fatness' as a flawed identity, the television show often presents unrealistic ideas about the nature of gaining and losing weight. TBL can also be seen to perpetuate the individualisation of the issue of obeseness rather than acknowledging it as more of an endemic social problem and as such, the show has garnered some criticism from academics. In turn, by analysing the various messages of identity, consumption and work presented throughout TBL not only can more be discovered about the... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Predominantly, the show centres on work associated with self improvement and includes an array of physical, emotional and psychological forms of labour. The show features endless footage of contestants competing in physical challenges and working out under the supervision and guidance of their team's personal trainer (The Biggest Loser Families, 2015). TBL also features a weekly 'weigh in' where all the contestants discover how much weight they have lost for that week. In turn, those who "pull big numbers" are rewarded and viewed as having worked very hard for that week whereas others who lose a little amount of weight not only face the threat of elimination from the competition but also are often chastised by themselves and others for not putting in enough effort (Plymire 2012:25). Thus, while reality shows such as TBL do bring to the surface ways to combat obesity and can provide forms of solutions to such problems, often the remedies presented create unrealistic and at times "dangerous expectations" about the speed and methods that can be used to achieve such success (Sender 2008:574). Indeed, the show hides a lot of the invisible work that goes on "behind the scenes" in regards to losing weight and altering diets and lifestyles, and gives little airtime to the entire team of health professionals which help the contestants in their transformation (Klos 2015:639; Staley ...

The sight of his physique and way he presents himself would remind anyone of an Olympic athlete. This is a huge factor concerning the success of his television show, motivational speeches, and workout videos. Well known for his role as a trainer on the television series "The Biggest Loser," Harper acknowledges the fact that his self–reliance can be a fault, driving him to seek perfection in everything he does.

Reality TV how does it affect our society? Many people believe that reality TV is negative, but I believe that it has a positive effect on our American culture. American reality TV shows can have a positive effect on American culture with its informative shows such as Giada at Home, Shark Tank, and The Biggest Loser. Furthermore, Shows like Giada at Home inspire people to get back in the kitchen and have fun with food. In the episode "Halloween Goodies" Giada transforms her backyard into a pumpkin patch and the kids decorate pumpkins and snack on traditional treats. Cooking shows help viewers learn new techniques. "An Italian Christmas" is a great episode to learn new things. Throughout the episode, Giada explains the traditional holiday event and prepares her Italian Christmas feast.

Keeping up With The Kardashians also promote drama, aggression, and bullying.

  • 10. Personal Narrative: Lose It ! Sadly, once the Christmas tree had been put away and the New Year's Eve confetti had been swept up, I could find no excuse not to tackle my most pressing post–holiday need – losing some weight. Most adults put on at least a little weight over the holidays, and crowded fitness center parking lots every January attest to the fact that a good many want to then shed that weight, at least until New Year's resolutions are forgotten. I decided to see if I could combine my weight–loss goals with my interest in technology.

  • 11. Obesity In America Persuasive Essay Obesity: The Fight You Can't Win The United States of America is nation that is known for its romance with guns and food. Not the most glamorous idea to be known for but in a way the comical characteristics fit the ever growing nation. Yet this obsession with the greasy, cheesy, and always supersized holds a much grimmer reality. Obesity in America is through the roof with 36 percent of American adults being classified as obese. This alongside the rapid growth of childhood obesity has created a love for shows about weight loss and health like those of "The Biggest Loser". These inspirational shows help to show that "it" can be done, the seemingly impossibility of losing the hundreds of pounds that need to go.

These words that were conceived from the mouth of about anyone over the age of 40 seems like it could mean nothing, but actually, it is impacting the future of the next generation of citizens inhabiting The United States of America. For instance, the controversial subject of the 2016 Presidential Election exploded when Donald J. Trump was chosen by the electoral college to lead for the next four years. Older generations have been teaching their children and grandchildren how important is to vote and use you voice in American politics. So finally, the "Millennials", people approaching young adulthood in the 21st century, went to polling places in hopes of their futures to be bright.

In some cases this is from genetic or unknown reasons but in many cases it has to do with the pressure our society and specifically our media puts on woman. Therefore women who aren 't as exposed to mainstream media are less likely to develop an eating disorder. A study done in "a region of Fiji where only one case of an eating disorder had been reported, [and there was] no exposure to westernized television until 1995" (Mulliniks) produced shocking results. "Within three years of television being introduced to the region, the amount of girls who induced vomiting to control their weight increased by 11 percent and the amount of girls scoring highly on a test for eating disorder risks increased by 16 percent" (Mulliniks). These results show a link in media and eating disorders. Only after being exposed to media for 3 years did a regions eating disorder stats go up by 11 percent, a region that prior to the introduction of television and mainstream media had only "one reported case of an eating disorder" (Mulliniks). "Additionally, [this study showed that] girls who watched TV three or more nights a week were 50 percent more likely to describe themselves as being 'too fat'" (Mulliniks).

Marvin Pirila really exercises a large amount of the essay in Pathos, the emotional force and feeling appeals, by pulling on the sentiment of his audience, especially if the reader is a concerned parent, by using lower emotions such as revenge, greed, and selfishness that are brought out in people and shown on reality shows. This emotion is brought through when Pirila talks about how reality shows are nothing more than man vs. man who will lie, cheat, manipulate, become deceitful, and steal to get their hands on the glorified prize. Marvin also works with other lower emotions like humility.

He claims that the dream is not as prominent as it was before, and that it is important to revive it. "Our dreams are more powerful when they are shared by others in our time.

Meacham's purpose for discussing the various socio–economic classes in the article is to emphasize the different ways the American Dream affects certain classes. It is believed that the middle–class people are the ones who aspire to achieve the American Dream, more than the lower and upper class.

Wealth cannot define if a person is a winner or a loser, money and class are just a materialistic things. To be a winner, is to have won something from someone or to have something that others do not. In this case, having money cannot earn you anything more than materialistic things. A person who is not of higher status can be just as happy as that of someone who is. "no reason why wealth, which is a social product, should not be more equitably controlled and distributed."

Ww1 And Ww1 During World War II Essay WW1 and WW2 The first and second world war were part of the overall deadliest times known in history, not only were lives lost by the soldiers but by the innocent bystanders also. Europe was devastated by not only death or its citizens but Europe was the battlefield. The war was being fought on their land it was said " Because the western front remained relatively stationary, devastation of land and resources was intense. All fronts, however, destroyed segments of Europe 's hard–won industrial and agricultural capacity." (Hunt, 823). The 1st and 2nd world wars were all part of the same problems, it was one big incident contrary to belief that it was two separate events. Not only was the treatment of post WW1 Germany in the aftermath of that "Great War" a cause to the initiation of WW2, but also, the geopolitics involving, largely, the same countries side by side led to the incident known as World War Two. WW1 was ended by the Treaty Versailles It was signed in 1919 ending the World very first World War. This treaty was very harsh in the aspect of punishing germany for "causing" and being the "aggressor" in the war. Articles 42– 45 were all towards reprimanding germany for their actions. In article 42 it was said " Germany is forbidden to maintain or construct any fortifications either on the left bank of the rhine or on the right bank to the west of the line drawn 50 Kilometers to the east of the Rhine."

This report investigates on how the manipulating media persuades pre– adolescents and adolescents that there is only one healthy and acceptable body type. This particular society accepted body type being the glorified "thin" which goes hand in hand with the Weight Centred paradigm.

It was a story on sugar subsidies and how that has raised the price to consumer in the United States for a very long period. It delved into other types of protection for domestic sectors but mainly focus on agriculture. Most consumers are probably unaware that many of their commodities that they purchase in the grocery market are artificially higher in price than they should be due to tariffs and other protectionist measures that the government erects to "protect" domestic producers. The question is does this protect jobs and industry for America? Are the consumers better off? Why is this important? ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Why?

We can use WelfareEconomics and Gains from Trade to conclusively state that we will be worse off as a country due to sugar tariffs (Landsburg, 2009). In more detail the import restriction of sugar at world prices assures that we will have a constriction of supply from the world market and unmet demand from domestic consumers (Landsburg, 2009).

Perhaps, more accurately, it is not so much that the circus goes on as that the circus has been revived in the American imagination. According to Robert Bogdan in his socio–historical study of the freak show in America, the popularity of the circus had run its course by the 1940s (60), attracting in its waning years a lower class of audience, such as new American immigrants, the rural poor and the urban working class (55). The exhibition of freaks had become morally incorrect. Strangely, at the turn of the twenty–first century, America is revealing a renewed fascination with freaks, a fascination that has not been so publicly apparent since the Victorian era when freak exhibits were all the rage, and not just for backward country folk waiting for the travelling circus to roll through town, but for sophisticated big city people who frequented P.T.

As with any plan, this program (6–week weight loss) requires an immense amount of dedication, exercise, and healthy eating. Individuals will be eating a wide variety of foods from all food groups. Losing weight lessens your risk of type two diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and even certain cancers. "The Biggest Loser Diet is based on a 4–3–2–1 Pyramid: four servings of fruits and vegetables, three servings of lean protein, two servings of whole grains, and 200 calories of extras" (WebMD, 2015). Specifically, foods that are high in fiber and low in saturated fat and salt. This allows the individual to be fuller for longer.

Both satisfy the requirement for total carbohydrates to make up between 45 to 65 percent of daily recommended caloric intake. The Biggest Loser diet at 50 percent whilst the DASH diet at 56 and 55 percent respectively. On that note I score these diets evenly also.

The negative and automatic mind set of doctors, media and society towards obesity might be the root of the issue.
