Teaching material that is suitable for a student.

the individual needs

the general population; 66.3% of the fathers and 62.5% of the mothers had a college degree (i.e.,

Writing A Persuasive Essay
It's a simple enough idea, write an essay about a topic for credit. I'll admit I've written good
essays in the past, I just have one issue with this topic; I am not a persuasive person. I don't have a
passion to write about, or an idea in my head. Even if I was passionate about something, I doubt I
have the skill to convince you. My arguments would consist of why I like the topic (or hate it) with
an extreme bias, and I doubt that you would be moved. I couldn't convince you that the long hours of
school take a toll on the students. Even if others agree with me, the way I word things, the lack of
passion and my lack of being able to be assertive is the reason why I can't write this essay. First
things first, the way I word my thoughts. Regardless...show more content...
You'll get this definition: "The writer takes a stand on an issue–either "for" or "against"–and builds
the strongest possible argument to win over the reader. In a persuasive essay, it's the writer's job
to convince the reader to accept a particular point of view or take a specific action." Along with a
bunch of How Tos. I've have taken a stand that is very passive–aggressive, on why I can't write this
essay. I know what you're thinking, this is ridiculous. Just think of it like this, as you sit there
reading me ramble on and give excuses. You're starting to listen. Yes, you have been in my spot
before, lack of passion words don't form right and you're just not clear enough. I see the irony here,
this very essay, it contradicts itself. A persuasive essay on why I can't write a persuasive essay. In
the end it's genius, I'm not faking an opinion or sing someone's thoughts. You might have considered
this option before but it seemed too stupid. You looked up prompt after prompt. Nothing. When you
finally settle you know it's not your best work and the grade shows. Or you did it last minute,
reworded someone else's essay. You've even considered turning in nothing, I mean what's the point

Persuasive Essay On Feminism
Feminism is about women's right, and the basis on the equality of sexes. They praise the fact that
women can do things without men or even think that that's possible when in reality women need
men and vice versa. Women who support feminism believe that they don't need men. They don't
need to shave, do their hair, wear heels and other simple things just because they appeal to men.
So they make it like if you don't "follow the rules" you are considered a fake feminist but you aren't
you just don't consider it necessary for you to follow the guidelines because it makes you feel
different about yourself or less of a woman. I believe that feminism is basically like a religion of

do it no matter what people have to say. This shows how feminism took place but she wasn't a

Sports bring up this same controversy. For example, basketball you have a women 's league and
also a men 's league but guess who gets the most media attention.. MEN! So in 2016, The NBA
MVP made an astounding amount of 11.4 million while the WNBA MVP only made 95
thousand. This is because women sports is less entertaining to watch than men 's in the eyes of
the media. You can scroll down the sports channels and i'll guarantee you find at least 3 mens
basketball games versus no womens games. For instance March Madness is a huge basketball
event that people all across the world watches. According to experian, " the 1979 championship
game between Michigan State and Indiana State, featuring Magic Johnson versus Larry Bird, drew
a record 35 million viewers. The women's championship game is likely to draw a viewing audience
in excess of 4 million." That's just like on sport center you never hear them commentating about what

Persuasive Lying Essay
Persuasive Lying Essay
People often say that honesty is the best policy. You should listen to them they know what they're
talking about. Lying. In the dictionary the definition of lying is an "intentionally told false
statement" but the dictionary doesn't list the consequences of a lie or why said false statements
were used. So, I'll have to do it.
I know that no one wants to hear that they look fat or grotesque , or that the ugly sweater they gave
someone for Christmas will never see anything but the inside of a closet. We as humans believe that
telling a lie will avoid unnecessary conflict. Does it though? They also think lying could gain
themselves attention. But would they want the attention after a while? Some people also believe

Or to you having a boyfriend or girlfriend before they think your old enough? Each parent in the
world is different but they all have some form of punishment. One other example would be lying
to a teacher, someone with a position of authority in a school. A student can lie about the reason
they were late to class to the old "my dog ate my homework" excuse. This kind of lying is very
difficult for the person telling the lie, because it involves telling someone who is in a position of
authority what he or she wants to hear. The student lying doesn't tell the truth to avoid
unnecessary conflict and it is studied that always telling the truth leads to more bad than good.
Another example would be those who lie to a police officer or any person related to the law. You
could tell him or her you didn't murder your algebra teacher just because you hate math but you
actually did or you could be selling drugs and telling them you aren't. If you do it once whose to
say you won't do it again? These things are very serious as well as having serious consequences. So
just tell them the truth. At the very least you'll feel better without the heavy burden of knowing that
you've lied. Lying to avoid conflict will only result in an even bigger confrontation of what it
could've been if you had told the truth in the first place.
Another reason someone might lie is to gain attention. It can be from parents, strangers, and even
your friends. Children. From the day they're born

Persuasive Essay On Propaganda
Propaganda
The definition of Propaganda, is information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to
promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. The key word is "misleading," and
"biased." Propaganda is a part of everyday life for many of us, weather we recognize it or not.
Groups, politicians, and big companies, are constantly trying to push their business and agendas at
us, and we live oblivious to it. Everywhere you look there are forms of propaganda. Everything from
billboards, to pop up ads, to tv commercials, attempt to brainwash us into believing inaccurate facts,
and doing what they want.
They use specific tactics to do this, called "propaganda techniques." Glittering generalities, plain
folks, bandwagons, name calling, transfers, testimonials, and card stacking are all forms of this.
Advertisers utilize everything from positive words, to regular people, to implying use, to using
symbols, celebrities and even using misleading information to bend your will.
In a recent commercials by the insurance company progressive, we see a few of these techniques
in action. The commercial starts with, the well recognizable, Flo, accompanied by her lesser
known, and less important, side kick Jamie walking down a futuristic looking, solid white, hallway.

Persuasive Essay Voting
Voting for something or for someone in a big or small range cannot only affect you but, also other
in a huge scale, even the whole country or world. Although people take it for granted, voting is a
system, whose certain leaders and decisions and decided based on the population choice. However
in some cases this doesn't apply such as in the electoral college, and therefore not voting or making
the wrong choice within the imprecise popular votes and electoral vote ratio, it can actually make
a big difference in many aspects. So not a single system is perfect with a voting candidate decision
system, it will sometimes, or even always fail. Therefore voting not only involves the dragging
numbers to a point where a candidate can win even if most population hasn't voted or is against it,
but also the self decision on which how those numbers would drag, towards whom and the aftermath
of your single vote, especially in the USA voting system the electoral college.
The Electoral College is the current voting system of the USA to choose the president and the vice
president. However the winner is not decided by the popular vote, but the electoral vote, which are
the state representatives, 100 senators, two per state and 435 representatives and three electors,
making about 538 of the votes, so therefore, the popular votes then turn into electoral votes.
However with this system, the numbers aren't relay derived in terms of the popular vote, although if

Simply Happy By Laozi Definition Of Happiness
Although the definition of happiness has been changed and rearranged for as long as humans have
existed, thousands upon thousands of years, some philosophers want a hard definition of it. The
term happiness signifies something different depending on whom you ask. The question of "What is
happiness?" has been theorized and discussed by many philosophers throughout the years, and many
have their own labyrinthine conclusion that may put off the average person who just has a
subconscious thought of what is happiness and why we need it and/or experience it. A few theories
on happiness have emerged from people who are educated in this discussion like Matt
Killingsworth, Carl HonorГ©, Graham Hill, Dan Gilbert, and David Steindl–Rast. All who were
featured in "Simply Happy," a segment on the "TED Radio Hour" from 2014 and they give a more
modern approach on being happy throughout life and share other theories. The Tao Te Chingby
Laozi was written around the sixth century BCE and is one of the classic texts in China which
separates yourself from your life to achieve happiness and a more recent theory of happiness from
the past teachings of the Dalai Lama, The Art of Happiness which strictly distincts happiness from
desire which are often thought of as related in today's modern society. The "TED Radio Hour"
show discusses if there is a secret to achieving happiness but, most of the featured speakers agree
on a simile to describe happiness. The secret to happiness is like the secret of dieting; there is no
true secret. The speakers from the radio show talked about is that wealthiness may only bring
temporary happiness, or happiness without meaning, which goes hand in hand with a point from
Laozi who states, "If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich." (verse 75). This
statement alludes to the thought that wealth doesn't automatically bring happiness and you can
only "be rich" from life experiences. This idea of "being rich," is similar to Graham Hill's factoring
wealth into happiness because he gained 30 million dollars in his late 20's, so he bought many
items. He bought things he may have thought were necessities at the time like a big house, nice cars,
and gadgets. He then noticed he wasn't

Persuasive Essay On The First Amendment
The first amendment is like using sunscreen for your skin. Without it your right for freedom of
religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition wouldn't be protected, just like your skin wouldn't be
protected from all of the harmful UV rays from the sun. This amendment was written in the Bill of
Rights in 1791. The Bill of Rights is a document of the first ten amendments which were written in
order to limit control of the government, and give more rights to the people. This amendment
protects these rights, giving us a nation without a national religion, and a country which cannot
abridge the freedom of speech, disobey the freedom of press, and restrict our rights to assemble and
petition. In the Bill of Rights, the First Amendment...show more content...
Luckily, the United States allows every individual to express their voices and opinions without any
problem. Although these rights are guaranteed to be protected, there have been cases where there
were problems regarding the freedoms guaranteed in the First Amendment. One landmark case is
the Tinker v. Des Moines Community School District, where three students were suspended for
wearing black armbands to protest the Vietnam War in a public school. The school created a policy
forbidding armbands after hearing about their plan to wear them, which the students wore anyways.
The school suspended the three students for violating the school policy. They later sued the district
for violating the 1st Amendment of the freedom of expression. The district court dismissed the
case because the school was judicious to sustain the school policy. The U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Eighth Circuit affirmed the decision. To this day, there are cases still going on regarding the
First Amendment. One of the contemporary cases is the Reed v. Town of Gilbert, Ariz. Case, where
Clyde Reed, a pastor at the Good News Community Church, received an advisory note, which stated
that he violated the Sign Code, after placing 17 signs in the area announcing

How To Write A Persuasive Essay
Writing essay is one of the things that I used to dislike before. For me, writing an essay was a
difficult and boring thing. However, I change my mind when I was doing the assignment,
"Persuasive Essay". This essay is my first English essay, and it was a quite challenging task for me.
In this assignment , I learned a lot. For example, to use the transition words to connect each
paragraph. Also, to use other writer's words to make my idea be more powerful. Thus, this
assignment improves my writing skills a lot. Before, I didn't know that I have to use the transition
words in an essay. For me, an essay is constituted by many single paragraphs. However, everything
is different when I was doing this assignment, Persuasive Essay. I noticed that every paragraph
should support theme to make an essay stronger. Also, after Ms. Weller marked this assignment, I
learned that using transition words can create a powerful link between my ideas. For example,

readers understand the logic of an essay. Therefore, I' ve learned the writing skill which can make

Waste Of Time In 2015", to support my idea, going to college is unnecessary. The quote not only
can make an essay more cogent but also can make readers agree with writer's thinking. Thus, I've

Persuasive Essay About School Trip
Effective and Fun Means of Learning: Field Trips!
Sometimes a classroom can't teach everything. To change things up, day trips allow for a diverse
learning experience for students. School field trips are an effective means of fun, interactive

Having a trip focus on a specific subject/unit only adds to a students focus and ability to properly
retain organized, clear information. Planning these fixed field trips will engage students by peaking
their own interests and thus providing a more productive learning experience.
Amongst many locations for a field trip, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the most ideal to
visit. This museum, is located in New York Cityroughly 40 minutes from Pascack Hills High
School. Ms. Donahue, an English teacher at the school, has three small classes with about 15
students per class; this trip would accommodate for these students with an addition one to two
teachers. Those attending would be expected to be at the school ready to depart by 8:10 in the
morning. After arriving and checking in (all students must pay $20 in the form of a permission
slip to their teachers prior to the trip), students are free to wander the museum by themselves.
Around 12, students will be advised to meet at the building's cafeteria for lunch, though they may
eat at any time. Bagged lunches will not be an option and all attendees must bring at least $20 for
lunch; they may also bring additional money for the gift shop if desired. By 1:15, all students and
teachers will meet in a planned location and be prepared to go back to the school. With any extra time

Persuasive Essay On Online Classes
Most people think highly of online classes; get to work from home, get to work on a flexible
schedule, and anyone can do it. Though no one has heard the cons of taking one. I personally took
three semesters of online classes in high school and had a horrible experience. Because of loose
scheduling, poor communication, and the focus needed, online classes are not suitable for
procrastinators. To give a better understanding, I will summarize my experience with the class. Me,
being a procrastinator, thought to myself: I'll just work on the weekends and if I don't finish the
class by the end of the school year, I can finish within the first few weeks of summer. This was a
god awful plan. Unsurprisingly, close to nothing was accomplished on the weekends. Friends would
ask me to hang out every weekend, and I did every time. Why would I want to work on my class on
the weekend when I could be having fun? I would later regret this decision. On the days I stayed
home and could have worked on the class, I completed nothing. On these days, I would tell myself:
I'll just complete what I didn't do this weekend next weekend. This rarely happened. Thus, the cycle
of getting nothing accomplished started. I disregarded my class for most of the first semester of
junior year. With only nine assignments out of eighty finished after the first semester of the school

"Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay and present it to the class in a week. You will be
graded based on how convincing it is. Today we will be choosing topics," announced Mr.

groaned at the prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and

and gave us some time to think before we had to tell him our topic. My classmates were already
rushing to tell the teacher their idea lest someone else steal it. That meant the usual abortion, death

Persuasive Speech : Effective Communication
In writing it's important to have an understanding of what you're trying to convey for your audience
in addition to how you you will present your ideas. Effective communication extends beyond having
well organized writing expressed in complete and coherent sentences. The style, tone and clarity of
writing must also be considered, as they are constantly changing relative to the audience. Again,
analyzing one's audience and purpose is essential to successful writing. Appropriately, when choosing
the most effective language, it is important to consider the document objective as well as the reader.
In essence, this idea of effective use of language has been the overarching theme of this online

Thus, the style of language used within the text was often industry specific and possessed a more
academic feeling. For example, in the text I often used abbreviations and slang acceptable within the
discourse such as, SCM Supply chain management, KPI Key performance indicator, and RDT
Resource dependence. The word choice in this assignment is indicative of that fact that language is
chosen in a manner that is appropriate for both the audience and the purpose of the writing.
Furthermore, perhaps the greatest contrast and the most evident of how language works differently
in various types of writing is the discussion blog post. The blog post allowed the class to engage in
different types of formality of language. The formality of the language one uses should match the
formality of the situation and the relationship between the writer and reader. Therefore, as the
public audience was a class of online students taking a required writing course in the summer, the
formality of my writing has often been very informal. For example, in my blog post addressing
my concern over the unworthy power of BeyoncГ© I wrote, "It was the year 2008 when the
world was blessed with the images of BeyoncГ© (unapologetically) dancing around in a leotard.

Persuasive Speech On English Language
Ever since the dawn of mankind, some form of language has been used to communicate with one
another. Language and the ability to speak to one another to get things done is what I believe makes
humankind the most sophisticated species on the planet. However, over the last few hundred years,
one language in particular has become one of the most universally taught subjects: English. With
several hundred, or maybe even thousands of languages being spoken by nearly seven billion people
today, English has become the method of communication across several different countries and
cultures. If, for example, English wasn't adopted as a globally respected language, then it would
make communicating with other cultures very difficult. Don't get me...show more content...
Whether we are trying to communicate across several countries or simplifying documents and
dialects locally, there needs to be some form of legislation when it comes to language, and I
believe instilling a global language can help us achieve all of the above. Both my mother's and
my father's side of the family migrated from Cuba to Miami in the late 50's, early 60's. When I
was born my parents had to work during the day, so my grandmother, Aba, used to always take
care of me, and since she migrated from Cuba, she mainly spoke Spanish with knowledge in only
a few English words. When Aba passed away in 2001, I went to a family friend who also
prominently spoke Spanish. Today, at the age of 18, I can proudly say that those five first years of
life did not prepare me enough for Spanish, since I am mostly an English–bred Hispanic. Sure, I can
start a simple conversation and maybe talk Spanish for a little, but overall, I am known as the
family "gringo," which is a harsh way of saying I can't speak Spanish. This hasn't just happened to
me. Phillip M. Carter, a professor of linguistics at the FIU Department of English, has found that
Miami is undergoing what is known as a "language shift." The shift means that Miami is becoming
less in touch with its Spanish–speaking roots and is turning to more English–based communication.

Reflection Of A Persuasive Reflection
Reflection of a Persuasive Essay by Vickie Hale In my revision, I decided to incorporate
actionable feedback from the feedback I received. The feedback I received was that my essay
needed more clarification, I choose to use this feedback to help make my argument more developed,
I wanted to create a better thought out essay and I worked on the clarification of my argument as
well as renewed my research. With that, I did some critical thinking to help work through the
weak areas of my essay which was the structure and syntax. Therefore, I incorporated these
suggestions because they helped me to improve my essay and help me to create a more persuasive
essay. Without these changes alongside the small revisions, I made, I do not believe my essay
would have been as well–written so they were much needed. My biggest challenges came from not
being able to pin down my argument, it took me a while to come find a side to an argument that
wasn't vague. Because, I usually write in a creative way, which does not necessarily have to be
persuasive, I usually write fictional stories and people getting the understanding from the
experiences of the characters is the outcome, but with persuasive writing, you are trying to get your
readers to not only agree with your side of the argument but to see what and why you are arguing
your side in the first place. This became difficult for me because I kept feeling like my argument
was not central and a little vague. I worked on trying to help my readers understand what and why
I was arguing my side of the argument. I had to think about who was reading my essay and this
helped. What I could have done differently is choose a more central argument, I believe it would
have reduced my challenges. This question is hard for me to answer because I did not receive but
one peer feedback, the feedback I incorporated concerning my exploration of the issue was more
clarification because that was one of the problems my peer review pointed out. I worked on my
clarification because it is one of the main elements, that is needed when you are writing a

The importance of writing, I found, was in what you wrote about and its purpose, writing helps
you get your ideas on paper and improve simply things like sentences, punctuation, spelling, and
grammar. There are many types of writing for different purposes, for this semester we focused on
persuasive and research papers, but there is also poetry, fiction, creative, narratives, and even more..
I feel I have grown as a writer in the organization, wording and lead–ins of papers. I also feel I have
improved in my vocabulary and using different words to give the same meaning.
The greatest writing accomplishments, I noticed in my persuasive and research papers were in
connecting to the topic and lead–ins. In the research paper I improved in leading into the topic. My
research paper was about cloning and in it I stated, "Ian WIlmut, a embryologist, and Keith
Campbell, a cell biologist and embryologist, state in their book, The...show more content...
I liked how I used word phrasing in the persuasive paper. In the persuasive paper you had to
discredit the opposing side, I did this by stating, " Some parents and students argue that these
books should be banned, but they are mistaken and misrepresenting the view of the book". For
this I used different words and sometimes different orders to describe similar things and make it
sound more educated and believable. In addition, something I found good in my paper was my
discussions of the topics. In the persuasive paper about banning books I made a topic about why
they shouldn't be banned, saying, " ...taking these books off the shelves and out of schools they are
taking away students' First Amendment rights to choose what books they want to read". I used
good discussions to make my point about the topic and persuade people to see the way I wanted
them to. Conclusively, the persuasive paper was my favorite out of all the papers completed this

Persuasive Essay On The Art Of Art
Art declares many things. It's a way for people to articulate their views, express their emotions, and
communicate to the world in a way that gives them creative release. This ability to exhibit one's
views in a imaginative and safe manner is exceptionally important to society's growth, and to border
this freedom to articulate is detrimental. Art should not be hidden and concealed permanently from
the public eye because some see it as vulgar due to the fact that many people have varying
definitions as to what is crossing the line. Only certain, obvious things can be noted as truly indecent.
Censorship is not an easy subject. As an artist, there is often a lot of tolerance for the obscene,
from appreciation to detail on the human figure or the unique renditions of animalistic
interaction. However, the majority of the public might find the same things that the artists see as
a unique interpretation as vulgar. It is easy to see that such a standpoint must be taken into more
consideration, as the point of indecency can differ greatly for a conservative Christian compared
to a liberal atheist. The two images of what each group considers unseemly would most likely
range in their obscenity, and so it would be difficult to put a line where one should be crossed. "If
an image offends very many people, sooner or later someone will invoke the law, and along with
it judges, legislators, policymakers, and the police," quotes Melinda Hinkson in Australia's Bill
Henson scandal: notes on the new cultural attitude to images. Here we have a majority rule, where
an image should only have action dealt upon it if enough people want change. Such censorship is
easy to determine when there are pieces depicting derogatory themes, such as child pornography or
racial notions. But there are multiple cases where there are two sides of the story, and it is not as
simple.
A statue named Truth is Beauty by Marco Cochrane has recently been constructed in the city of San
Leandro, here in the bay area. This statue depicts a nude woman dancing, her body semi–geometric,
and although you can not vividly see the all of the womans body parts, it is not difficult to know
that she is supposed to be depicted as naked. A completely naked figure,

Homeschooling outline persuasive speech Essay Persuasive Speech Outline on Homeschooling General Purpose: I want to persuade my audience Specific Goal: I would like the audience to understand the advantage of why I strongly believe homeschooling is beneficial. Thesis: Homeschooling environment is an effective approach in education due to evidence of higher achievement on placement tests, success through college, engaged socially with activities outside homes, and students becoming active members of society. Organization Pattern: (Statement of Reason/Comparative advantages): Today my goal is to educate the audience on the importance and benefits on why homeschooling is better than public school. Introduction I. Attention getter: "Homeschooling and public schooling are...show more content... Teaching material that is suitable for a student. a. Because of the great teacher to student ratio it gives the teacher an advantage to go according to the individual needs b. Many say the problem with parents teaching their student with no credentials are proven wrong i. Dr. Brian Ray (2009), found that homeschool parents have more formal education than parents in the general population; 66.3% of the fathers and 62.5% of the mothers had a college degree (i.e., bachelor's degree) or a higher educational attainment. c. Also certain states are now required to have certain credentials in order to teach. For example California. 3. Better learning atmosphere than what is provided in public school a. Exposure to drugs b. Peer pressure c. Bullies (Transition: Now that you know the benefits of the overall academic attainment, lets look at the second reason.) II. The second reason for choosing homeschool is the socialization. a. Many people oppose that socialization is a big problem for homeschoolers. i. But there are many sources that show involvement with different homeschoolers or groups of people in the community. Socialization is not big issues!! b. According to Dr. Brian Ray (2011). Students are engaged in social and educational activities. i. 4–H ii. Education field trips with other homeschoolers iii. Community volunteer iv. Church ministry v.

  • 2. Writing A Persuasive Essay It's a simple enough idea, write an essay about a topic for credit. I'll admit I've written good essays in the past, I just have one issue with this topic; I am not a persuasive person. I don't have a passion to write about, or an idea in my head. Even if I was passionate about something, I doubt I have the skill to convince you. My arguments would consist of why I like the topic (or hate it) with an extreme bias, and I doubt that you would be moved. I couldn't convince you that the long hours of school take a toll on the students. Even if others agree with me, the way I word things, the lack of passion and my lack of being able to be assertive is the reason why I can't write this essay. First things first, the way I word my thoughts. Regardless...show more content... You'll get this definition: "The writer takes a stand on an issue–either "for" or "against"–and builds the strongest possible argument to win over the reader. In a persuasive essay, it's the writer's job to convince the reader to accept a particular point of view or take a specific action." Along with a bunch of How Tos. I've have taken a stand that is very passive–aggressive, on why I can't write this essay. I know what you're thinking, this is ridiculous. Just think of it like this, as you sit there reading me ramble on and give excuses. You're starting to listen. Yes, you have been in my spot before, lack of passion words don't form right and you're just not clear enough. I see the irony here, this very essay, it contradicts itself. A persuasive essay on why I can't write a persuasive essay. In the end it's genius, I'm not faking an opinion or sing someone's thoughts. You might have considered this option before but it seemed too stupid. You looked up prompt after prompt. Nothing. When you finally settle you know it's not your best work and the grade shows. Or you did it last minute, reworded someone else's essay. You've even considered turning in nothing, I mean what's the point Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Persuasive Essay On Feminism Feminism is about women's right, and the basis on the equality of sexes. They praise the fact that women can do things without men or even think that that's possible when in reality women need men and vice versa. Women who support feminism believe that they don't need men. They don't need to shave, do their hair, wear heels and other simple things just because they appeal to men. So they make it like if you don't "follow the rules" you are considered a fake feminist but you aren't you just don't consider it necessary for you to follow the guidelines because it makes you feel different about yourself or less of a woman. I believe that feminism is basically like a religion of women protesting, and simply praising women on their...show more content... and, of those, 200,000 are female. But, numbers show that women truck drivers are on the rise–there has been a 50% increase in women truck drivers since 2005.) So even though you know the job you want is somewhere where men is greatly needed you still go out and show that you're able to do it no matter what people have to say. This shows how feminism took place but she wasn't a women who didn't take care of herself or treat herself just because she was surrounded by men. Sports bring up this same controversy. For example, basketball you have a women 's league and also a men 's league but guess who gets the most media attention.. MEN! So in 2016, The NBA MVP made an astounding amount of 11.4 million while the WNBA MVP only made 95 thousand. This is because women sports is less entertaining to watch than men 's in the eyes of the media. You can scroll down the sports channels and i'll guarantee you find at least 3 mens basketball games versus no womens games. For instance March Madness is a huge basketball event that people all across the world watches. According to experian, " the 1979 championship game between Michigan State and Indiana State, featuring Magic Johnson versus Larry Bird, drew a record 35 million viewers. The women's championship game is likely to draw a viewing audience in excess of 4 million." That's just like on sport center you never hear them commentating about what women do in Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Persuasive Lying Essay Persuasive Lying Essay People often say that honesty is the best policy. You should listen to them they know what they're talking about. Lying. In the dictionary the definition of lying is an "intentionally told false statement" but the dictionary doesn't list the consequences of a lie or why said false statements were used. So, I'll have to do it. I know that no one wants to hear that they look fat or grotesque , or that the ugly sweater they gave someone for Christmas will never see anything but the inside of a closet. We as humans believe that telling a lie will avoid unnecessary conflict. Does it though? They also think lying could gain themselves attention. But would they want the attention after a while? Some people also believe ...show more content... Or to you having a boyfriend or girlfriend before they think your old enough? Each parent in the world is different but they all have some form of punishment. One other example would be lying to a teacher, someone with a position of authority in a school. A student can lie about the reason they were late to class to the old "my dog ate my homework" excuse. This kind of lying is very difficult for the person telling the lie, because it involves telling someone who is in a position of authority what he or she wants to hear. The student lying doesn't tell the truth to avoid unnecessary conflict and it is studied that always telling the truth leads to more bad than good. Another example would be those who lie to a police officer or any person related to the law. You could tell him or her you didn't murder your algebra teacher just because you hate math but you actually did or you could be selling drugs and telling them you aren't. If you do it once whose to say you won't do it again? These things are very serious as well as having serious consequences. So just tell them the truth. At the very least you'll feel better without the heavy burden of knowing that you've lied. Lying to avoid conflict will only result in an even bigger confrontation of what it could've been if you had told the truth in the first place. Another reason someone might lie is to gain attention. It can be from parents, strangers, and even your friends. Children. From the day they're born Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Persuasive Essay On Propaganda Propaganda The definition of Propaganda, is information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. The key word is "misleading," and "biased." Propaganda is a part of everyday life for many of us, weather we recognize it or not. Groups, politicians, and big companies, are constantly trying to push their business and agendas at us, and we live oblivious to it. Everywhere you look there are forms of propaganda. Everything from billboards, to pop up ads, to tv commercials, attempt to brainwash us into believing inaccurate facts, and doing what they want. They use specific tactics to do this, called "propaganda techniques." Glittering generalities, plain folks, bandwagons, name calling, transfers, testimonials, and card stacking are all forms of this. Advertisers utilize everything from positive words, to regular people, to implying use, to using symbols, celebrities and even using misleading information to bend your will. In a recent commercials by the insurance company progressive, we see a few of these techniques in action. The commercial starts with, the well recognizable, Flo, accompanied by her lesser known, and less important, side kick Jamie walking down a futuristic looking, solid white, hallway.

  • 7. Persuasive Essay Voting Voting for something or for someone in a big or small range cannot only affect you but, also other in a huge scale, even the whole country or world. Although people take it for granted, voting is a system, whose certain leaders and decisions and decided based on the population choice. However in some cases this doesn't apply such as in the electoral college, and therefore not voting or making the wrong choice within the imprecise popular votes and electoral vote ratio, it can actually make a big difference in many aspects. So not a single system is perfect with a voting candidate decision system, it will sometimes, or even always fail. Therefore voting not only involves the dragging numbers to a point where a candidate can win even if most population hasn't voted or is against it, but also the self decision on which how those numbers would drag, towards whom and the aftermath of your single vote, especially in the USA voting system the electoral college. The Electoral College is the current voting system of the USA to choose the president and the vice president. However the winner is not decided by the popular vote, but the electoral vote, which are the state representatives, 100 senators, two per state and 435 representatives and three electors, making about 538 of the votes, so therefore, the popular votes then turn into electoral votes. However with this system, the numbers aren't relay derived in terms of the popular vote, although if a state doesn't give to a Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. Simply Happy By Laozi Definition Of Happiness Although the definition of happiness has been changed and rearranged for as long as humans have existed, thousands upon thousands of years, some philosophers want a hard definition of it. The term happiness signifies something different depending on whom you ask. The question of "What is happiness?" has been theorized and discussed by many philosophers throughout the years, and many have their own labyrinthine conclusion that may put off the average person who just has a subconscious thought of what is happiness and why we need it and/or experience it. A few theories on happiness have emerged from people who are educated in this discussion like Matt Killingsworth, Carl HonorГ©, Graham Hill, Dan Gilbert, and David Steindl–Rast. All who were featured in "Simply Happy," a segment on the "TED Radio Hour" from 2014 and they give a more modern approach on being happy throughout life and share other theories. The Tao Te Chingby Laozi was written around the sixth century BCE and is one of the classic texts in China which separates yourself from your life to achieve happiness and a more recent theory of happiness from the past teachings of the Dalai Lama, The Art of Happiness which strictly distincts happiness from desire which are often thought of as related in today's modern society. The "TED Radio Hour" show discusses if there is a secret to achieving happiness but, most of the featured speakers agree on a simile to describe happiness. The secret to happiness is like the secret of dieting; there is no true secret. The speakers from the radio show talked about is that wealthiness may only bring temporary happiness, or happiness without meaning, which goes hand in hand with a point from Laozi who states, "If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich." (verse 75). This statement alludes to the thought that wealth doesn't automatically bring happiness and you can only "be rich" from life experiences. This idea of "being rich," is similar to Graham Hill's factoring wealth into happiness because he gained 30 million dollars in his late 20's, so he bought many items. He bought things he may have thought were necessities at the time like a big house, nice cars, and gadgets. He then noticed he wasn't Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Persuasive Essay On The First Amendment The first amendment is like using sunscreen for your skin. Without it your right for freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition wouldn't be protected, just like your skin wouldn't be protected from all of the harmful UV rays from the sun. This amendment was written in the Bill of Rights in 1791. The Bill of Rights is a document of the first ten amendments which were written in order to limit control of the government, and give more rights to the people. This amendment protects these rights, giving us a nation without a national religion, and a country which cannot abridge the freedom of speech, disobey the freedom of press, and restrict our rights to assemble and petition. In the Bill of Rights, the First Amendment...show more content... Luckily, the United States allows every individual to express their voices and opinions without any problem. Although these rights are guaranteed to be protected, there have been cases where there were problems regarding the freedoms guaranteed in the First Amendment. One landmark case is the Tinker v. Des Moines Community School District, where three students were suspended for wearing black armbands to protest the Vietnam War in a public school. The school created a policy forbidding armbands after hearing about their plan to wear them, which the students wore anyways. The school suspended the three students for violating the school policy. They later sued the district for violating the 1st Amendment of the freedom of expression. The district court dismissed the case because the school was judicious to sustain the school policy. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit affirmed the decision. To this day, there are cases still going on regarding the First Amendment. One of the contemporary cases is the Reed v. Town of Gilbert, Ariz. Case, where Clyde Reed, a pastor at the Good News Community Church, received an advisory note, which stated that he violated the Sign Code, after placing 17 signs in the area announcing Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. How To Write A Persuasive Essay Writing essay is one of the things that I used to dislike before. For me, writing an essay was a difficult and boring thing. However, I change my mind when I was doing the assignment, "Persuasive Essay". This essay is my first English essay, and it was a quite challenging task for me. In this assignment , I learned a lot. For example, to use the transition words to connect each paragraph. Also, to use other writer's words to make my idea be more powerful. Thus, this assignment improves my writing skills a lot. Before, I didn't know that I have to use the transition words in an essay. For me, an essay is constituted by many single paragraphs. However, everything is different when I was doing this assignment, Persuasive Essay. I noticed that every paragraph should support theme to make an essay stronger. Also, after Ms. Weller marked this assignment, I learned that using transition words can create a powerful link between my ideas. For example, using the word, "in addition" , can make two paragraphs connect to each other. It also can make readers understand the logic of an essay. Therefore, I' ve learned the writing skill which can make each paragraph be connected from this assignment....show more content... I really enjoyed it. As I was researching, I also could read other writer's literature. I notice that using the quote or data can make the theme of an essay be stronger and more persuasive. For example, I use the quote from Steven Crowder, the author of "TheTop 5 Reasons College May Be Waste Of Time In 2015", to support my idea, going to college is unnecessary. The quote not only can make an essay more cogent but also can make readers agree with writer's thinking.

  • 12. Persuasive Essay About School Trip Effective and Fun Means of Learning: Field Trips! Sometimes a classroom can't teach everything. To change things up, day trips allow for a diverse learning experience for students. School field trips are an effective means of fun, interactive learning; the MET museum as well as the Shakespeare Theater of New Jersey are two ideal trips to plan following Pascack Hills High School's tenth grade English curriculum and reading of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Field trips are a refreshing and potent change of pace from an enclosed school environment.

Having a trip focus on a specific subject/unit only adds to a students focus and ability to properly retain organized, clear information. Planning these fixed field trips will engage students by peaking their own interests and thus providing a more productive learning experience. Amongst many locations for a field trip, the Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the most ideal to visit. This museum, is located in New York Cityroughly 40 minutes from Pascack Hills High School. Ms. Donahue, an English teacher at the school, has three small classes with about 15 students per class; this trip would accommodate for these students with an addition one to two teachers. Those attending would be expected to be at the school ready to depart by 8:10 in the morning. After arriving and checking in (all students must pay $20 in the form of a permission slip to their teachers prior to the trip), students are free to wander the museum by themselves. Around 12, students will be advised to meet at the building's cafeteria for lunch, though they may eat at any time. Bagged lunches will not be an option and all attendees must bring at least $20 for lunch; they may also bring additional money for the gift shop if desired. By 1:15, all students and teachers will meet in a planned location and be prepared to go back to the school. With any extra time Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 13. Persuasive Essay On Online Classes Most people think highly of online classes; get to work from home, get to work on a flexible schedule, and anyone can do it. Though no one has heard the cons of taking one. I personally took three semesters of online classes in high school and had a horrible experience. Because of loose scheduling, poor communication, and the focus needed, online classes are not suitable for procrastinators. To give a better understanding, I will summarize my experience with the class. Me, being a procrastinator, thought to myself: I'll just work on the weekends and if I don't finish the class by the end of the school year, I can finish within the first few weeks of summer. This was a god awful plan. Unsurprisingly, close to nothing was accomplished on the weekends. Friends would ask me to hang out every weekend, and I did every time. Why would I want to work on my class on the weekend when I could be having fun? I would later regret this decision. On the days I stayed home and could have worked on the class, I completed nothing. On these days, I would tell myself: I'll just complete what I didn't do this weekend next weekend. This rarely happened. Thus, the cycle of getting nothing accomplished started. I disregarded my class for most of the first semester of junior year. With only nine assignments out of eighty finished after the first semester of the school year, I was immensely behind. I told myself to get my act together during second semester and grind out these two semesters Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 14. Persuasive Essay "Your assignment is to write a persuasive essay and present it to the class in a week. You will be graded based on how convincing it is. Today we will be choosing topics," announced Mr. Bowerbank, my 7th grade English teacher and ruler of classroom 110. My class simultaneously groaned at the prospect of work. I simply lifted my head with intrigue as it was already May and about time we had our first essay. He then proceeded to give examples of topics we could choose and gave us some time to think before we had to tell him our topic. My classmates were already rushing to tell the teacher their idea lest someone else steal it. That meant the usual abortion, death penalty, or drug use topics were out. I really couldn't think of anything and the teacher was slowly making his way through the remaining students like an executioner beheading criminals in a line. I have always thought that he would make a marvelous supervillain if he had a curly mustache, a tophat, and a cape. Eventually my name was called. I slowly dragged myself over to his desk. Even sitting down, he still seemed to tower over me. "What is your topic Cindy?" As usual in such desperate times, my mind turned to food. "Waffles are better than pancakes." I figured that awaffle was just a differently shaped pancake with a nicer texture. "Hmm. Excellent topic. I look forward to your essay!" I survived to live yet another day. As I walked to lunch, I went around and asked everyone the age old question: "Do you like Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 16. Persuasive Speech : Effective Communication In writing it's important to have an understanding of what you're trying to convey for your audience in addition to how you you will present your ideas. Effective communication extends beyond having well organized writing expressed in complete and coherent sentences. The style, tone and clarity of writing must also be considered, as they are constantly changing relative to the audience. Again, analyzing one's audience and purpose is essential to successful writing. Appropriately, when choosing the most effective language, it is important to consider the document objective as well as the reader. In essence, this idea of effective use of language has been the overarching theme of this online English course. Each writing assignment...show more content... Thus, the style of language used within the text was often industry specific and possessed a more academic feeling. For example, in the text I often used abbreviations and slang acceptable within the discourse such as, SCM Supply chain management, KPI Key performance indicator, and RDT Resource dependence. The word choice in this assignment is indicative of that fact that language is chosen in a manner that is appropriate for both the audience and the purpose of the writing. Furthermore, perhaps the greatest contrast and the most evident of how language works differently in various types of writing is the discussion blog post. The blog post allowed the class to engage in different types of formality of language. The formality of the language one uses should match the formality of the situation and the relationship between the writer and reader. Therefore, as the public audience was a class of online students taking a required writing course in the summer, the formality of my writing has often been very informal. For example, in my blog post addressing my concern over the unworthy power of BeyoncГ© I wrote, "It was the year 2008 when the world was blessed with the images of BeyoncГ© (unapologetically) dancing around in a leotard. Not only is BeyoncГ©'s single lady video one of her most notable hits it begins her what is now a decade long relationship ending spree" (Marquis, 2016 ).

  • 17. Persuasive Speech On English Language Ever since the dawn of mankind, some form of language has been used to communicate with one another. Language and the ability to speak to one another to get things done is what I believe makes humankind the most sophisticated species on the planet. However, over the last few hundred years, one language in particular has become one of the most universally taught subjects: English. With several hundred, or maybe even thousands of languages being spoken by nearly seven billion people today, English has become the method of communication across several different countries and cultures. If, for example, English wasn't adopted as a globally respected language, then it would make communicating with other cultures very difficult. Don't get me...show more content... Whether we are trying to communicate across several countries or simplifying documents and dialects locally, there needs to be some form of legislation when it comes to language, and I believe instilling a global language can help us achieve all of the above. Both my mother's and my father's side of the family migrated from Cuba to Miami in the late 50's, early 60's. When I was born my parents had to work during the day, so my grandmother, Aba, used to always take care of me, and since she migrated from Cuba, she mainly spoke Spanish with knowledge in only a few English words. When Aba passed away in 2001, I went to a family friend who also prominently spoke Spanish. Today, at the age of 18, I can proudly say that those five first years of life did not prepare me enough for Spanish, since I am mostly an English–bred Hispanic. Sure, I can start a simple conversation and maybe talk Spanish for a little, but overall, I am known as the family "gringo," which is a harsh way of saying I can't speak Spanish. This hasn't just happened to me. Phillip M. Carter, a professor of linguistics at the FIU Department of English, has found that Miami is undergoing what is known as a "language shift." The shift means that Miami is becoming less in touch with its Spanish–speaking roots and is turning to more English–based communication. Carter's own research indicates that "Miami–born Latinos even Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 18. Reflection Of A Persuasive Reflection Reflection of a Persuasive Essay by Vickie Hale In my revision, I decided to incorporate actionable feedback from the feedback I received. The feedback I received was that my essay needed more clarification, I choose to use this feedback to help make my argument more developed, I wanted to create a better thought out essay and I worked on the clarification of my argument as well as renewed my research. With that, I did some critical thinking to help work through the weak areas of my essay which was the structure and syntax. Therefore, I incorporated these suggestions because they helped me to improve my essay and help me to create a more persuasive essay. Without these changes alongside the small revisions, I made, I do not believe my essay would have been as well–written so they were much needed. My biggest challenges came from not being able to pin down my argument, it took me a while to come find a side to an argument that wasn't vague. Because, I usually write in a creative way, which does not necessarily have to be persuasive, I usually write fictional stories and people getting the understanding from the experiences of the characters is the outcome, but with persuasive writing, you are trying to get your readers to not only agree with your side of the argument but to see what and why you are arguing your side in the first place. This became difficult for me because I kept feeling like my argument was not central and a little vague. I worked on trying to help my readers understand what and why I was arguing my side of the argument. I had to think about who was reading my essay and this helped. What I could have done differently is choose a more central argument, I believe it would have reduced my challenges. This question is hard for me to answer because I did not receive but one peer feedback, the feedback I incorporated concerning my exploration of the issue was more clarification because that was one of the problems my peer review pointed out. I worked on my clarification because it is one of the main elements, that is needed when you are writing a persuasive essay or any essay for that matter. Clarification gives the essay structure so your readers can have a full understanding of your Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 19. How To Write A Persuasive Paper The importance of writing, I found, was in what you wrote about and its purpose, writing helps you get your ideas on paper and improve simply things like sentences, punctuation, spelling, and grammar. There are many types of writing for different purposes, for this semester we focused on persuasive and research papers, but there is also poetry, fiction, creative, narratives, and even more.. I feel I have grown as a writer in the organization, wording and lead–ins of papers. I also feel I have improved in my vocabulary and using different words to give the same meaning. The greatest writing accomplishments, I noticed in my persuasive and research papers were in connecting to the topic and lead–ins. In the research paper I improved in leading into the topic.

I liked how I used word phrasing in the persuasive paper. In the persuasive paper you had to discredit the opposing side, I did this by stating, " Some parents and students argue that these books should be banned, but they are mistaken and misrepresenting the view of the book". For this I used different words and sometimes different orders to describe similar things and make it sound more educated and believable. In addition, something I found good in my paper was my discussions of the topics. In the persuasive paper about banning books I made a topic about why they shouldn't be banned, saying, " ...taking these books off the shelves and out of schools they are taking away students' First Amendment rights to choose what books they want to read". I used good discussions to make my point about the topic and persuade people to see the way I wanted them to.

  • 20. Persuasive Essay On The Art Of Art Art declares many things. It's a way for people to articulate their views, express their emotions, and communicate to the world in a way that gives them creative release. This ability to exhibit one's views in a imaginative and safe manner is exceptionally important to society's growth, and to border this freedom to articulate is detrimental. Art should not be hidden and concealed permanently from the public eye because some see it as vulgar due to the fact that many people have varying definitions as to what is crossing the line. Only certain, obvious things can be noted as truly indecent. Censorship is not an easy subject. As an artist, there is often a lot of tolerance for the obscene, from appreciation to detail on the human figure or the unique renditions of animalistic interaction. However, the majority of the public might find the same things that the artists see as a unique interpretation as vulgar. It is easy to see that such a standpoint must be taken into more consideration, as the point of indecency can differ greatly for a conservative Christian compared to a liberal atheist. The two images of what each group considers unseemly would most likely range in their obscenity, and so it would be difficult to put a line where one should be crossed. "If an image offends very many people, sooner or later someone will invoke the law, and along with it judges, legislators, policymakers, and the police," quotes Melinda Hinkson in Australia's Bill Henson scandal: notes on the new cultural attitude to images. Here we have a majority rule, where an image should only have action dealt upon it if enough people want change. Such censorship is easy to determine when there are pieces depicting derogatory themes, such as child pornography or racial notions. But there are multiple cases where there are two sides of the story, and it is not as simple. A statue named Truth is Beauty by Marco Cochrane has recently been constructed in the city of San Leandro, here in the bay area. This statue depicts a nude woman dancing, her body semi–geometric, and although you can not vividly see the all of the womans body parts, it is not difficult to know that she is supposed to be depicted as naked.
