Education

What have we learned so far? Benjamin Wallace, “The Price of Happiness”: How does the price of something affect your level of happiness? Conflicting, contradictory. You seem to usually enjoy it more if you spend more money on it. Michael Norton, “How to Buy Happiness”: Money can buy you happiness, but not when you spend it on yourself, but when you spend it on others. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, “Flow, The Secret to Happiness”: Money is not really a motivation in people and it’s not a cause for happiness. A state where you’re in the zone, you are working for the sake of working. The work itself is motivating. Your work is something that makes you happy. There’s the diagram of challenging/skills. Barry Schwartz, “The Paradox of Choice”: Barry does say choice is good, but highlights the numerous bad implications of choice. Choice can make you not satisfied because you’ll think you made the wrong choice, regret. Low expectations really help you make a choice. Dan Gilbert, “The Surprising Science of Happiness”: Nancy Etcoff, “The Science of Happiness”: Happiness is a lot more complicated than we thought it was 50 years ago. She brings up lots of different studies on happiness to “update” the audience on happiness. Babies are hardwired to detect pleasure and happiness. People are hardwired to experience unhappiness and discomfort more than happiness. Unhappiness is often medicated. Malcolm Gladwell, “Choice, Happiness, and Spaghetti Sauce”: He says we need people to help us figure out exactly what we want so they can market something for us. Howard “democratized” food and beverages, this is what expanding choice did. Sunstein, C.R., “What You Can Learn from the New Science of Smarter Spending”: Chan, M., “Here’s How Winning the Lottery Makes You Miserable”: Begley, S., “Happiness: Enough Already”: Sadness and depression and anxiety are okay. They can lead to productivity. Brooks, D., “What Suffering Does”: He lists benefits to suffering, as opposed to just being happy.

Professor Batty English 113A114A Fall 2014Progression A.docx

Professor Batty English 113A/114A Fall 2014 Progression A Reading and Responding to Texts: Animal Narratives “...there is no limit to the extend to which we can think ourselves into the being of another. There are no bounds to the sympathetic imagination” -J.M. Coetzee For our first progression, we will be analyzing the ways in which nonhuman animal lives are inherently interwoven with human lives. More specifically, we will interrogate the hierarchical relationship between us and the animals that we interact with. Thus, we will apply the concept of biopower to nonhuman animals. Although Foucault did not explicitly use the terms biopower/biopolitics in context to animal lives and bodies, current animal studies scholarship has addressed this connection. Sherryl Vint in her 2010 book Animal Alterity argues, “resistance to the biopolitical regime of neo-liberal capitalism requires acknowledging the degree to which species difference has been foundational in structuring the liberal institutions that one might wish to contest.” In other words, much of the exploitation of (human) bodies that occurs as a result of capitalism starts with the human desire to be separate and better than animals. We will be analyzing the ways in which we see animals, interact with animals, and understand animals, and, most importantly, the kinds of rhetoric associated with animals. There are countless issues pertaining to animals that have sparked many heated debates, such as vegetarianism/veganism, industrialized factory farming, vivisection/animal testing, spaying/neutering pets, zoos, etc. Animals affect our lives in so many ways, but we also affect theirs. Though most of us have never lived on a farm, we have interactions with nonhuman bodies on a daily basis, from the family dogs snuggled in our beds to the spiders spinning webs in our kitchen cupboards. I believe that our lives will be all the richer for having an unbiased and clear understanding of these interactions, especially as we acknowledge the power that we possesses over these nonhuman lives and the implications of this power. You will write a narrative essay that asks you to consider a time in which you have had power over a nonhuman life. It must be a situation in which you interacted with a living creature; therefore, you may not write about eating an animal, unless you interacted with the animal before its death or took part in causing its death. The reason for this is because I would like you to consider the animal's experience as an embodied creature. You will need to explain why this even was Professor Batty English 113A/114A Fall 2014 significant and what insight you gained. We will also read selections of texts, such as Jonathan Safron Foer's Eating Animals and Hal Herzog's Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat. Although you will not need to incorporate these texts into your essay, they will hopefully provide you with a new perspective on your interac ...

R esponses must have a minimum of 200 words each and must directly quote and properly cite (using MLA format) from the assigned textbook Competing Visions: An Introduction to Moral Philosophy . I expect substantive and scholarly responses which evince an understanding of the complex chapter readings. Ch. 2: Epicurus 4) According to Epicurus, what incentive or motive do people have to obey the laws and behave justly toward one another? Do you agree with Epicurus on this issue? Why or why not? Ch. 3: Marcus Aurelius 5) " Choose not to be harmed—and you won’t feel harmed. Don’t feel harmed—and you haven’t been." Explain Marcus Aurelius' meaning in these lines. Do you agree or disagree, and why? Ch. 4: St. Augustine 6) According to St. Augustine, is it possible to achieve true happiness by focusing on our body only? Why or why not? Do you agree or disagree, and why? Ch. 6: Hobbes 3) Compare Christ’s Golden Rule with Hobbes’ Golden Rule. Which do you think is more effective in getting people to obey the laws, and why? Ch. 7: Hume 5) According to Hume, would justice be necessary in a utopian society? Why or why not? Do you think he is correct, and why? Ch. 8: J.S. Mill 6) Explain John Stuart Mill’s theory of higher and lower pleasures: Are there any problems inherent in the theory? Overall, does Mill’s idea of higher and lower pleasures make sense to you? Why or why not? Ch. 10: Sartre: 3) What exactly does Sartre mean when he says that "If God does not exist, then everything is permitted"? Do you agree with him? Why or why not? Chapter 11: Theodore Dalrymple: 4) According to Dalrymple, what is the fundamental difference between "depression" and "unhappiness"? Are you persuaded by his argument? Why or why not? 5) Throughout his writings, Dalrymple contrasts what we might call the "tragic view" of human life (held by writers like Turgenev, among others) and the "utopian view" (held by writers like Marx and Ibsen). Briefly describe the difference between the two, and explain which of the two you find the more plausible and why. .

Module 4. THE DEFINITION ESSAY How can different perspectives and premises lead to different definitions? What does definition mean and how can I write a 1000-word definition? Definition = Oxford dictionary states: “An exact statement or description of the nature, scope, or meaning of something” Nature of something = what it is like and what it is not like Scope of something = how big it is or how far it goes Meaning of something = the category it fits in and what makes it significant How can I write a 1000-word definition essay? The dictionary definition is usually just the basic category. We look up a word in the dictionary to get a simple idea of the category it fits into. For example, if I look up “faith” in the Cambridge dictionary, it says: • “great trust or confidence in something or someone” • “a particular religion” • “strong belief in God or a particular religion” This just gives me the very basic idea. It does not answer the nature, scope, and significance of the concept of faith. An essay can help me to explore the concept and truly come to understand it. Perspective We can come to understand a concept from different perspectives. Let’s look at the word “faith.” What does having faith refer to if I’m talking about business? What if I am talking about my sense of myself? What if I am talking about my society and culture? What if I am talking about religion? When you are defining a concept, first ask yourself about the origin or source of the concept. In other words, where does it come from or what causes it? For example, where does faith come from? Is it from the physical environment around me? Is it a gift of God? Is it something my mind creates? Some kind of emotion? Or is my ability to have faith somehow biological? Or maybe it is a combination of all four quadrants. RUAH (a Hebrew word meaning “spirit” or “breath”) When you are defining a concept, first ask yourself about the origin or source of the concept. In other words, where does it come from? For example, where does happiness come from? Is it a physical feeling? Is it a gift of God? Is it something we create with our own minds? Or is it in our biological make-up? Or maybe it is a combination of all four quadrants. Writing the Definition Essay Introduction: Usually, the introduction is short (3-4 sentences). Start with a simple hook – a quote (famous quote, biblical quote, popular quote), a symbol, an image, what often comes to mind in association with the word you are going to define. Then follow the general introduction pattern (Introductory sentence + Topic sentence + Thesis) Thesis statement (formal definition) Term + its class/category + differentiation (what makes it unique in that category) Note: For the class/category, consider your perspective and see the graph on the previous page. Grammar you need for this: Noun + be + article + noun + adjective clause (that, which, who, when, where) Here are some examples: Faith is a mindset tha ...

Definition of Ethos and How to Use it1. Trustworthiness Does y.docx

randyburney60861

Definition of Ethos and How to Use it 1. Trustworthiness Does your audience believe you are a good person who can be trusted to tell the truth? 2. Similarity Does the writer try to get the reader to identify with him or her? This can be done through language 3. Authority Does the writer have formal or informal authority? Does the writer try to relate to the reader? 4. Reputation What are the expertise the writer uses? How many does he use? What are their areas of authority? Logos: Logical reasoning, which has two bases: Deductive reasoning, and Inductive reasoning Deductive Reasoning Deductive reasoning generally start with one or more premises, and then comes to a conclusion from them. Premises can be facts, claims, evidence, or a previously proven conclusion. The key is that in a deductive argument, if the writer’s premises are true, then the conclusion must be true. 1. Education determines one’s class base. 2. One’s class base will shape one’s employment. 3. Therefore, education will determine one’s employment. Inductive Reasoning Inductive reasoning is similar in that it consists of premises, which lead to a conclusion. The difference is that the conclusion is not guaranteed to be true — we can only state it with some degree of confidence. For example, consider the following inductive argument: 5. All Six Minutes articles you have read in the past were insightful. (premise) 6. This is a Six Minutes article. (premise) Therefore, this article is insightful. (conclusion) How to Identify Logos Make it Understandable: Does the writer make the argument understandable? What tools does he or she use to do this? Make it Logical: Does the arguments make sense? Or does the writer require the reader to make an extreme leap of faith? How easy is it for the writer to make a connection to the argument? Make it Real: Does the writer make the argument real? Is the argument concrete or abstract? The language plain language: Does the writer use technical jargon or is a portion of language used for a specific reader that isn’t familiar with the reader? Does the writer use short words and phrases over long and convoluted counterparts? The language is explicit: Does the writer make his or her argument plain? What techniques does he or she use to establish explicit argument? The writer uses a couple premises, to establish his or her position? Are they relatable? Do they show relationship between them? “And these five advantages — capital costs, scheduling, inventory control, marketing, and employee satisfaction — together make this a winning proposal.” Trace sequences or processes in order. Does the writer jump around to different places or is there an order to his or her steps that create clarity or confusion for the reader? Use comparisons, analogies, and metaphors. Does the writer introduce new concepts, with an appropriate analogy which helps the audience understand the new concept in terms of how they already understand the old one?.

Rogerian Analysis.docx

joellemurphey

Rogerian Analysis Life is about Compromise Rogerian = You Win and I Win Rather than traditional argument, Rogerian argument establishes common ground through shared values and assumptions. Common ground is established by summarizing and restating the opponent’s position. Purpose The Rogerian argument is designed to bring together two opposing views and show where/how they reach common ground. Once common ground is established, decisions can be made that all parties can agree to. Carl Rogers (1902-1987) Believed in nondirective or client-centered therapy in psychology and clinical therapy situations. Rogerian viewpoints believes “that the most personal feelings are also the most common and most likely to be understood by others” (Mauk and Metz 537). Rogers’ Theory Rogers wrote “Mutual communication tends to be pointed toward solving a problem rather than toward attacking a person or group” (qtd. in Barnet and Bedau 455). Uses for Rogerian Sensitive topics Abortion Gun Control Death Penalty Stem Cell Research/Cloning Business meetings Conflict negotiations Anytime two or more views are in conflict Emphasis Great for psychological and emotional arguments Pathos and ethos emphasized more than logos and strict logic Disadvantages of Rogerian You have to be willing to try reaching common ground Seems like you are giving ground to your opponent. Writer must be willing to change personal views – a risk to many people. Advantages to Rogerian Release tension and disagreement Encourage negotiation and cooperation Controls uneven power relationships According to Barnett and Bedau, Rogerian argument is Nonconfrontational, collegial, and friendly Seeks some degree of assent rather than convince utterly. Rogerian Strategy Conveys to the reader that he is understood Delineates the area within which he believes the reader's position to be valid Induces him to believe that he and the writer share certain moral qualities (Writing Commons) The Process Introduction Introduce the issue and state the opposing position in order to show that you understand it. Present the problem Challenge yourself to risk change Elaborate on the value of opposing positions Where and under what circumstances is the opposing view valid? The Process Cont’d. Describe the context in which your position is valid. Show how the opposing position would be strengthened if elements from your position were added. Arrive at an agreeable compromise or reconciliation. Rogerian Essay Co ...

Your annotated bibliography will list a minimum of six items. .docx

woodruffeloisa

Your annotated bibliography will list a minimum of six items . Four of them must be from credible, academic, peer-reviewed sources that you find as you do research for the final essay. The remaining two sources must be credible, but they can come from sources other than academic journals if you wish. When you write, use standard MLA typographic and citation format, and then extend each Works Cited entry with a summary of the major arguments in the essay you have read. Each summary must contain a minimum of 100 words . If desired, append a list of “Works Consulted” for sources used that are not peer-reviewed. Basic MLA Style Format for an Annotated Bibliography Format your page and list of citations in the same way you would a normal Works Cited page, then add your annotation at the end of it. Title your bibliography “Works Cited” at the top of the page. Center it, but do not put it in bold face type. Put entries in alphabetical order, not the order in which they have been assigned. Use hanging indents , as shown below. That is, the first line of the citation starts at the left margin. Subsequent lines are indented 5 spaces. As with every other part of an MLA formatted essay, the bibliography is double spaced throughout. The annotation is a continuation of the citation . Do not drop down to the next line to start the annotation. The right margin is the normal right margin of your document. There is a right way and a wrong way to write up these entries. Don’t “report” the arguments the author makes or tell readers the order in which those arguments are presented and count all of that reporting and listing as “summary” or annotation. Instead, restate in your own words the claims made by the writer in his/her essay. Wrong way to do it : "Marotti introduces his argument in the first section of the essay; then he moves on to talk about Petrarchan conventions. He ends the essay by talking about the political ramifications of Shakespeare's sonnets." Right way to do it: "Marotti’s argument here is that the sonnet genre must be understood in three ways: by examining the text itself, by examining the text in relation to others of its kind, and by exploring the social/historical environment in which it was published and circulated . . ." Sample Annotations NOTE: These entries provide models of both format and content. They summarize—rather than “report”—the essay described. Marotti, Arthur F. ""Love is Not Love": Elizabethan Sonnet Sequences and the Social Order." ELH 2(1982): 396-428. Marotti’s argument here is that the sonnet genre must be understood in three ways: by examining the text itself, by examining the text in relation to others of its kind, and by exploring the social/historical environment in which it was published and circulated. Using those criteria, he argues that we should understand sonnet sequences as more than just a collected string of Petrarchan love poems. The 16 th century sequences suddenly fell out o.

Essay #1Taking a Position on Food Due by 1159pm on Sunday.docx

SALU18

Essay #1:Taking a Position on Food Due by 11:59pm on Sunday April 23rd We manipulate the planet and all of its creatures. We create, we consume, we build, and we destroy, but how often do we consider the processes and people that provide unceasingly for our unquenchable appetites? How often do we consider the consequences? This essay asks that you consider the inner (and outer) workings of the US food system and then take a position on a narrowed down aspect of it. During this project we might ask ourselves any combination of the following: where does our food come from, and at what cost? How have our foods been processed, conceived, even constructed, and then shipped and stored? How do we treat the animals we eat? How should we treat them? How are they killed? How conscious are we of the world we are taking from every single day? Where do we fit in? What do we have to say? To accomplish your task, you will be using pairings of articles I provide in order to take part in an ongoing conversation about food. These readings will require you to look closely at what we eat and how our consumption shapes the world, in both positive and negative ways. You will need to first consider our relationship with food and the consequences of our eating habits, on individuals, societies, and the planet that we share, then narrow down your focus to an individual and focused topic/idea, which you will then research independently so that you might enter into a scholarly conversation. The goal of this essay is to either make your own claim about your subject, or to support an already established claim with rational and logical reasons and evidence in order to convince your reader to take up the same position that you hold. This essay need not be a soapbox for any political agenda; instead, we are looking for a balance in rhetorical strategies. Using ethos, pathos, and logos effectively means respecting all viewpoints while backing up your claims with reputable sources and logical insights/analysis. In the wise words of Christopher Hitchens: “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.” While I value each and every one of your opinions, scholarly readers are less forgiving. Imagine your audience to be educated readers who are familiar with the topic and themes we will be exploring. These readers will expect you to back up your claims, and to use reputable sources. See the end of this prompt for paper specifics / requirements. Reading and Research I am providing you with a group of food-related readings. Some of the readings will be mandatory, as in I expect everyone to read them and use them in their papers. The others are paired options that you will choose from. Each reading will be labeled on the Module I introduce it as either mandatory or optional. They are also listed at the end of this prompt. Make sure to take detailed notes of the sources you do read. It is alw ...
