1. Persuasive Argument Essay
Crafting a persuasive argument essay can prove to be quite a challenging task. Firstly, it demands
a thorough understanding of the topic at hand, requiring extensive research to gather relevant
information, statistics, and evidence to support your argument. This process can be time-
consuming, requiring hours of sifting through various sources to find credible and persuasive
data.
Moreover, constructing a coherent and compelling argument requires strong critical thinking
skills and the ability to logically organize your thoughts. You must carefully structure your essay,
ensuring a clear introduction, well-developed body paragraphs, and a persuasive conclusion that
reinforces your main points.
Additionally, writing persuasively entails anticipating counterarguments and addressing them
effectively to strengthen your position. This involves considering alternative perspectives and
crafting rebuttals that acknowledge opposing views while convincingly defending your stance.
Furthermore, achieving persuasive rhetoric involves mastering language techniques such as
ethos, pathos, and logos to appeal to your audience's emotions, credibility, and logic respectively.
Balancing these elements requires skillful manipulation of language and tone to effectively sway
your readers' opinions.
Overall, writing a persuasive argument essay demands dedication, critical thinking, research
prowess, and mastery of persuasive writing techniques. It's a challenging endeavor that requires
considerable time and effort to execute successfully.

2. Otc Hearing Aid Effectiveness
In the United States, only 25% of the people who need hearing aids use them. One
possible reason for this is accessibility. Getting a hearing aid requires a trip to see a
specialist. Both the visit and the hearing aids themselves can be expensive if not
covered by health insurance. One possible way of getting more hearing aids to the
people who need them is to sell them over the counter (OTC). To see if this option is
feasible, Indiana University Bloomington tested the theory through a study of OTC
hearing aid effectiveness.
The Study
To conduct the study, researchers gathered 154 people with mild to moderate
hearing loss between the ages of 55 and 79. These participants were split into three
groups. One group worked with an audiologist to have their hearing aid properly
fitted and programmed. Members of another group were given hearing aids that had
been pre programmed in the same way that OTC devices would be. The final group
served as a control group and were given non functioning hearing aids. All three
groups tested their hearing aids for six weeks.
The Results
Both of the groups that received working hearing aids fared much better than those
who were given placebo units. While both of the test groups with functional hearing
aids did well, the group who worked with a hearing specialist like Audiology Island
did fare slightly better ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
A new healthcare bill known as the Over the Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2016
would greatly expand the number of places hearing aids are sold. If passed, the bill
would also require the Food and Drug Administration to updates their guidelines on
hearing aid safety labeling and regulations. The bill has the support of the Academy
of Doctors of Audiology but has not yet passed into law. At the request of Congress,
the bill is currently under review by the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and

3. Social Medi The Second Stage Of Development Of The
World...
Web 2.0 is defined as the second stage of development of the world wide web,
which is where we are now in 2017. The internet is no longer filled with static web
pages ran just by the creator, but instead filled with content we provide whenever
we post online. According to Pew Research Center 7 in 10 Americans use some
type of social media to connect with one another or engage in some type of
conversation (Anderson). Just take a second and think of all the different social
media outlets there are. We have grown past just using Facebook and Twitter, but
have now entered a new realm of sharing. With all good things there is a downfall.
With social media there is a debate that it may be doing more harm than good. On
one hand social media has... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Nucleus Research reported that Facebook shaves 1.5% off office
productivity(Jung). This may not seem like a huge percentage but if you think of
all the offices across the country and all the employees it soon starts to add up,
which leads to my next point. A study done by a research company, Morse,
reported that British companies lost over 2.2 Billion a year in revenue due to loss
productivity because of social media (Jung). Although some people have become
weary of social media, there is also an overwhelming amount of people who
believe social media has improved society. Social Media has definitely made
society aware of a lot of global issues along with social movements going on across
the US and world. The Arab Spring s uprising that took place in Tunisia, Egypt and
Libya owe most of their credit to social media (Roesler). This played a huge role in
organizing protests to highlight the corrupt government they were facing. When
posting about upcoming protests across social media as a public event, it made it
easy for people outside of the warzone to become aware of what was happening.
This led to donations and humanitarians to flood the middle east with help
(Roesler). Social Media has also led to an increase in raising money for causes by
doing different challenges for different charities. In 2014, the ALS challenge was a
viral campaign where participants would either donate money or dump a bucket of
ice water on themselves.

4. The Animal Use Of Animals In The Colosseum
I don t think that animals shouldn t have been used in the colosseum for gladiator
fights. Some might believe that animals were used to make the fights more
entertaining. But I believe that it was very unkind to the animals and inhumane. This
is misguided because they could have use something else to entertain themselves like
plays or something other than killing thousands of animals and humans. Many
animals went extinct in the colosseum. The animals killed a lot of people at the
colosseum. They(people in the colosseum and the townspeople) would kill a lot of
animals. The definition of a gladiatoris a person who was a professional fighter, and
fought in front of people in the colosseum in the Roman Empire. Some things about
the colosseum are it was started to be built in 70 A.D and finished 10 years later.
The height of the colosseum was 157ft and the perimeter was 1788 ft. There were
4 floors and it could hold 50,000 people. The arena was 180 ft wide and 287 ft long.
One other thing about the colosseum is over 1 million animals died there. The first
reason that i don t think animals shouldn t have been used in the colosseum is
because many animals went extinct in the colosseum. The first example is elephants,
lions, and tigers from Africa and Asia were hunted until extinct by the townspeople. I
m wondering why the townspeople liked to kill and make some extinct? The second
example is that sometimes whole species like European Wild horses, the Great Auk,
the Aurochs,

5. Medea And Oedipus Rex
Rough Draft #2
The answer to the question of whether personal desires affect people s actions more
than the influence of others may seem like a one sided answer. However, upon
closer inspection, it is acceptable to say that although some would argue that people
s own desires dictate their actions, the influences of others play a more prominent
role in how an individual acts. The Greek tragedies Medea and Oedipus Rex are both
stories that explore this controversial topic. Oedipus Rex follows the story of a
king named Oedipus. His land is plagued, and the only way to get rid of this plague
is to exile the one who killed the previous ruler of Thebes. Oedipus begins his search,

10). These characteristics she develops and the actions she takes are an outcome
solely due to the outside influence of Jason. Robert B. Palmer even describes
Medea as a demon witch who thirsts for blood and vengeance. ( Palmer para. 3).
The destruction of the relationship Jason and Medea shared is an obvious reason
for Medea s actions and is shown very early in the story, however Oedipus s outside
influences develop as the story progresses.
Oedipus is effected by outside influences as much as Medea is, however it is not as
exemplified. The outside influences slowly creep into Oedipus s mindset as the
story moves on. Despite how swayed Oedipus might have been by others, he
showcases actions influenced only by personal desires in the beginning of the
story. Oedipus is one who has a position of power, which may have shaped him to
trust his own mind and decisions over others. His mental toughness is broken
through however with characters such as Tiresias and the Herdsman. Little details
about his past break down the barrier that shields his mind from being influenced
by outside sources. As Effie Coughanowr suggests, Oedipus willingly listening to
this toxic information serves as, a single false step and tragedy becomes reality.
(Coughanowr para. 17). This process is a long one where at the end he is seen as
broken man that blames himself for the events unfolded. The manner in which he
blames himself, O Kithairon, why did you bring me in? Or once you had

6. Descartes Vs Anselm
The existence of God has been in question and argued amongst people for who
knows how long. It has troubled mankind for thousands of years. Many philosophers
have tried their best to prove that there may or may not be a God. Rene Descartes
and Saint Anselm are two philosophers that each had their own proofs for the
existenceof God. I will be looking at the similarities, differences, and the persuasion
of their proofs.
Often known as the father of modern philosophy or modern thought, Rene
Descartes came up with proofs to prove the existence of God in his Meditations on
First Philosophy. His proof(s) of the existence of God are based on the compilation
of proofs that were well known among other philosophers. Descartes proves the
existence of ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In Anselm s Proslogion, Anselm aimed to prove God s existence without the aid of
Scripture but he he still used references from Scripture, which I find kind of ironic.
He attempted to create an argument that needed nothing else for proof that would
declare that God truly exists. He further explains the purpose set forth in his
argument. The purpose was for Anselm, to raise his mind to the contemplation of
God and seeking to understand what he believes. According to Anselm, God is
defined as the being than which no greater can be conceived. This is how Anselm
defines the meaning of God in his own terms. In order to believe that God exists, one
must come to an understanding on what and who God is. Anselm attempted to put
together the definition of God in such an abstract way to understand in order to show
that God truly exists as a supreme being.
From looking at both arguments, Descartes philosophical theory on the existence
of God is quite similar and seems based upon Anselm s theory. Both philosophers
proofs follow along the lines of: (1)Our idea of God is of a perfect being, (2) it is
more perfect to exist than not to exist, (3)therefore, God must exist. However, it is
difficult to tell at times where one ends and the other one begins. Descartes makes the
same logical constructions, although in a different order, to arrive at Anselm s
argument that God

7. Essay on Emergency Room Overutilization
Emergency room over utilization is one of the leading causes of today s ever
increasing healthcare costs. The majority of the patients seen in emergency rooms
across the nation are Medicaid recipients, for non emergent reasons. The federal
government initiated Medicaid Managed Care programs to offer better healthcare
delivery, adequately compensate providers and reduce healthcare costs. Has Medicaid
Managed Careaddressed the issues and solved the problem? The answer is Yes and
No .
Throughout the early 1980 s and 1990 s the Federal Medicaid program was
challenged by rapidly rising Medicaid program costs and an increasing number of
uninsured population. One of the primary reasons for the overall increase in
healthcare costs is the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
It was also hoped that the number of uninsured people would dramatically decrease
by offering Medicaid managed care coverage to low income families and individuals
that were not Medicaid eligible. These services and coverage could be delivered
through the Medicaid managed care carriers and be covered by the cost savings.
States have chosen to two forms of Medicaid managed care to better deliver
healthcare services besides the traditional fee for service Medicaid programs; primary
case management and traditional health maintenance organizations. In primary care
case management, the state Medicaid agency contracts with a primary gatekeeper
entity (e.g., physician, clinic) that coordinates primary and specialty care for
Medicaid beneficiaries. For healthcare maintenance type programs, a State Medicaid
agency contracts with an existing healthcare maintenance organization, prepaid health
plan, or other institutional health care provider who, in addition to proving primary
care services, assumes insurance risk of providing covered services. Typically
primary case management are paid on a fee for service basis plus a monthly case
management fee per enrollee, while health maintenance organization plans are paid a
capitation rate and are at full financial risk. (1)
Once implementation of the program began, enrolling and educating the Medicaid
population was one of the

The context of the study
An overview of the potential context of the study has been discussed various aspects.
To begin with, the official and the first foreign language of Thailand are highlighted
in the first two parts. Also, in the same part language education and communication
are located the current situation. The next part is concerning English proficiency of
Thai people. In the followed part will describe the importance of English and
ASEAN Economic Community. Afterwards the detailed context of the study will
pinpoint EMI policy at KKU and EMI implementation at HUSO. Besides, this section
closed with a limited research on EMI in Thailand.
Thailand is a country in Southeast Asia, where it is a homeland of over 65 million
Thai people in 2015 (Boonrach, 2015). Considering the languages are using in
Thailand, currently, there is not only a Thai languagestanding on the stage of all
communities but also other languages other than Thai are standing beside it in local
settings. Unexpectedly, there are over 80 languages are spoken in Thailand, but
there is only one official spoken and written language due to the domination of Thai
(Smalley, 1994; Rappa Wee, 2006; Darasawang Todd 2012). That is, Central Thai is
the only one accepted language to stand at a national level, and the majority of Thai
people are using Central Thai as an official language in various activities. In general,
Thai people are using Central Thai to communicate across the nation in many

9. St. Thomas Aquinas Research
St. Thomas Aquinas persuaded me about the existence of God on the grounds that
Aquinas five ways supply logical reasoning. Aquinas first way is that nothing can
move itself without a mover, in other words, in order for an object to move it must
have a mover. I concur with Aquinas assertion, it makes logical sense on the
grounds that everything we do necessitates a mover. An illustration would be a car,
in order for a car to move one must drive the car for it to move. Aquinas concludes
that there must be a primary mover (God) that is not itself moved. In addition,
Aquinas second way asserts that it is impossible for natural things to be the absolute
and sufficient sources of their own existence, that there must be an uncaused cause

10. The Inventions Of The Late Nineteenth And Early
Twentieth...
There were many inventions that were created in the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries that had a huge impact on life in the United States. Some of these
inventions were the telephone, the electric light bulb, and the airplane. The telephone
was created by Alexander Graham Bell, the light bulb by Thomas Edison, and the
airplane by Wilbur and Orville Wright. The telephonecompletely changed how we
communicate. Alexander Bell was a professor at Boston University when he built a
device that allowed people to see speech in the form of sound wave vibrations. This
made Mr. Bell believe that somehow he could make sound waves turn into an
electrical current and back into sound waves. After lots of studying electricityand

11. Plastic Pollution On The Marine Environment
Effects of Plastic Pollution on the Marine Environment Concern over increasing
quantities of marine microplastic pollution has increased substantially in the last
decade, becoming a focus for many local and national governments,
intergovernmental organizations, environmental advocacy groups, and the private
sector. In financial terms, conservative estimates place the harm to marine
ecosystems at $13 billion annually. While the available literature on microplastic
pollution impacts has grown due to this increased interest, research into the subject is
at an early stage relative to other areas of inquiry. Further, research into the effects
and sources of microplastic uptake in marine environments have been largely
dependent on laboratory experimental studies, due the technical difficulties in
analyzing microplastics in the field. This paper sets out to describe the ecological
impacts of marine microplastic pollution as they are currently known: the various
types of microplastics and their distinct potentials for environmental harm; the
sources of and vectors for microplastic contamination; known effects on marine
organisms; and concludes with a discussion of legislative/regulatory solutions to date
and potential next steps. Overall, neither the direct nor long term effects of
microplastic pollution in the field are thoroughly understood. The quantity of
microplastics in the ocean is set to continue to increase, largely due to three factors;
1) the large volume of

13. Health Assessment Of A Client Essay
Introduction This report will discuss the health assessment of a client who
presented to my PEP facility, Clinic 275. Clinic 275 is a confidential and
complimentary walk in sexual health service which provides medical consultation
/advice, testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) (SA
Health 2016a). Ultimately, this paper will illustrate how an ongoing health
assessment, history taking, provision of client education and care options of
certain STIs are fundamental to guiding the planning, implementation and
evaluation of care for specific people. All information regarding the client, who
will be referred to as R, was permitted for use by the facility and will maintain
confidentiality in accordance with the guidelines of the Government of South
Australia (2015, p.7; Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia 2016). On 16/9
/16 R presented to the clinic and upon arrival, completed a form to guide his care
plan (Gulanick Myers 2014, p. 852 7; SA Health 2016a). This form revealed he
was asymptomatic and sought a general sexual health check up. Due to these
reasons, he was triaged to see a registered nurse in a nurse led clinic (NLC). In this
private NLC, a routine interview process was conducted and revealed R to be a
healthy (no notable PMHx) twenty six year old of Indian descent who migrated
from Singapore to Adelaide five months ago. Additional to these demographic
factors, this process also allows for the collection of ones sexual history to determine

closer and closer, they were aware that, at any moment, they could get caught. Lucky
for them, the droids were too busy preparing to attack, they didn t notice the enemy.
We re ready to attack, sir. the command droid reported to General Krell. Good. Let s

15. How Did Walt Disney Influence The World
On December 5th, 1901 a legend is born, Walter Elias Disney became an icon in the
cartoon and children movie business. From the theme park in Orlando to the cartoons
on televisions across the nation, Walt Disney has engraved his name in history and in
many of our hearts as one of the most influential people in modern art.
Walt Disney was the fourth born to a poor family in Chicago Illinois. A few years
after he Walter was born the family moved to Marceline Missouri a town of about
two thousand people. While living in Marceline Walter started to develope his
love for drawing by copying the front page of his local newspaper as well as
making his own drawings and selling them to a retired doctor. In the year of 1918
Walt Disney tried to enlist in the armed forces but he was rejected to serve in a
combat position due to him only being sixteen at the time. Instead he went to France
and drove an ambulance for the Red Cross. During his time with the Red Cross he
grew in his artistic abilities by covering the ambulance with cartoons from the front to
the back. This was the start to what would become some of the greatest cartoons in
American history (WALT).

16. The Immigration Of The United States Essay
Immigration to the United States has occurred in waves, one of the largest of
which consisted of nearly 28 million people between 1880 and the late 1920 s. The
newcomers living in various countries throughout the world decided to leave there
root of origin and immigrate to the United States for various reasons, some of which
included freedom from political and religious persecution, famine, or to experience
the American Dream of perceived economic opportunity. Once settled; immigrants
were often stereotyped and discriminated against because they were different .
Social Justice was nonexistent as Employers often took advantage of immigrants,
men were paid less than other workers and women were paid less than men. (Library
of Congress, 1990) The numbers of newcomers dropped dramatically in 1924, when
Congress passed highly restrictive immigrationlegislation. (Bankston, Carl L., 1999).
As time has passed the United States Immigration laws have made it increasing more
desirable for individuals to seek illegal entry as opposed to the legal process. High
regulation and subject to numerical limitations and eligibility requirements consisting
of necessary family or employment relationship and lack of access to humanitarian
protection, such as refuge or asylum status have played a significant role. (American
Immigration Council, March 2012)
Although a self professed nation of immigrants, the United States has historically
shown ambivalence toward newcomers who enter the

17. Defining The Bill Of Rights
Defining the Bill of Rights and Amendments to the Constitution Originally the
Constitutional framers did not include a list of specific liberties. These liberties
later would become a Bill of Rights. Many of the founding fathers did not believe it
was necessary to spell out these individual liberties because they felt that the U.S.
Constitution already made it clear what the limits on the government s powers were.
Soon it would become more evident that the Constitution didn t go far enough in
addressing the issue of national power. As the ratification debates began, numerous
issues arose. The framers realized the pressing need for a specific Bill of Rights.
Thomas Jefferson was one of the main proponents of a document that spelled out the

The framers intended for only the most significant issues of the day to lead to a
constitutional amendment. Surprisingly the president and the executive branch
have no role in proposal and ratification process. Although, the office still wields
some political influence depending upon the issue. (Janda et al., 2012) The Bill of
Rights was originally intended to provide protection from the federal government,
whom many feared could become too powerful. Late in the 19th century the
Supreme Court ruled that these same liberties and rights guaranteed in the
constitution also must be applied at the state level as well. Although most
Americans are familiar with the names of Jefferson, Franklin and Madison, one of
the most important figures of this time was a gentlemen named George Mason. He
was one of the first leaders to demand the government recognize such basic rights
as freedom of the press, religious tolerance and the right to trial by jury. Mason
was highly respected by his peers, but unlike Washington, Jefferson and Madison,
he had no desire to hold public office. He did later on serve on various committees
and was appointed to draft the Virginia declaration of rights. (Ushistory.org, 2014)
Mason took the lead on this project, and basically wrote the document by himself.
He drew a lot upon the influence of the philosopher John Locke. One of the main
assertions he included in this draft was, That all men are born equally free and
independent, and

The Effect of Birth Order on Learning and Development
Birth order is a topic studied by many psychologists through numerous different
studies and conflicting viewpoints. In respect to the order in which children are
born, psychologists have labeled specific personality traits for each child. While
psychologists continue to disagree on the amount of emphasis to be placed on birth
order and personality, studies have shown family size can be a determining factor in a
child s learning and development.
First born, middle, youngest, and only children are the common birth order positions
most commonly studied by psychologists. Alfred Adler, a major personality theorist,
often studied the issue of birth order. He believed that the ... Show more content on

The youngest children tend to be less adjusted than middle born children, are most
likely to experience feelings of inadequacy. Only children tend to desire being the
center of attention, have feelings of inferiority, and tend to be selfish in regard to
sharing personal belongings. Although these personality traits are widely accepted, a
national sample by the Academic Advancement of Youth of John Hopkins University
found little relationship between birth order and personality. However, a mild
relationship between birth order and perfectionism was evident, (Parker 29).
Family size is more commonly accepted as a contributing factor to birth order
positions. If birth order is held constant, the larger the size of a family tends to be
represented by a lower average IQ. First born, as well as only children are often
believed to have superior intellectual development, which can be explained by the
greater amount of attention and verbal attention given by parents. This makes sense
because parents of first born and only children are able to focus more of their time
with these children. A 1997 survey discovered the impact of a siblingborn during the
preschool and early grade school years. The first born child was significantly
affected by the birth of a sibling, which resulted in an increase in emotional problems
leading to an increase in behavioral problems during the first year. In addition, the

22. Remember The Alamo Research Paper
The Alamo
Remember the Alamo, is a well known saying in America, although few people really
understand what happened at The Battle of the Alamo. The Battle of the Alamo was
fought between the Texans and Mexicans. The Texans were fighting for their
independence from Mexico. Although the Mexican forces were victorious, this battle
was a key event in the westward expansion of America.
The Alamo has become an American landmark due to the famous Battle of the Alamo
in 1836, but the Alamo itself started off vastly different. The building is located in a
section of downtown San Antonio, Texas. The word Alamo actually stands for
cottonwood and thus was named due to the cottonwood trees that surrounded the site.
The Alamo was originally established as mission in 1718 and erected in 1724.
(Selcraig)
Before understanding the importance of the Battle of the Alamo, a brief history of
the region is needed and the understanding of the factors that lead to the battle itself.
Shortly after Mexico gained its independence from Spain in 1821, the young
republic was desperate to populate its northern state of Texas. There was an attempt
to gain control of the vast territory, but there was a problem. The problem was that
the area was already inhabited by Apache and Comanche tribes who were not wanting
any settlers ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In mid February the forces of San Antonio had been fully taken by the Texan force.
Sam Houston had urged the Texan force to abandon San Antonio due to the lack of
troops needed to properly hold the area, but instead the Alamo s defenders dug in and
prepared to defend the fort. The defenders never numbered more than 200, with
reinforcements, and included Davy Crockett, the famous frontiersman and former
congressman from Tennessee. (The

23. Why Did I Choose George Etienne Cartier
Introduction
Why did I choose George Etienne Cartier?
For my heritage fair I decided to research George Etienne Cartier, who if you haven
t heard about was a lawyer, rebel, politician and railway promoter whose
contributions to Confederation were on the same level as figures like John A.
Macdonald and George Brown(Sweeny). If you haven t heard of any of these
people, then don t worry I ll be going into length on all of them, but I ll make sure
to focus from the perspective of George Cartier. Furthermore, if you were
wondering why I chose this topic to research, I would truthfully tell you that the
only reason I chose George Etienne Cartier was because he was as good a topic as
anything else, so personally I didn t care about the topic. ... Show more content on

George had 7 siblings and was the seventh child of his parents(Bonenfant), I didn t
research much about his siblings but I did find that one of George s brothers also
went into law and was a partner of Georges during the time he practiced
law(Bonenfant). As you can tell probably tell from the name, George Etienne Cartier
came from French background and lived in Lower Canada which was mainly French,
he came from a relatively wealthy family of grain exporters and millers(Sweeny).
Which possibly influenced his views towards Confederation after the repeal of the
Corn Laws, but that s a subject for later, when we understand more about George s
involvement with Confederation. Another thing that could have influenced George
about Confederation was that the fact that he was born around the same time as
the War of 1812, which again is a subject for later. As we know George came from
a wealthy family, which allowed him to live a relatively comfortable life, it also
allowed him to be able to access educational opportunities. He studied at the Sulpician
College of Montreal, afterwards he studied law and politics(Sweeny), he was also
able to learn more about law while working under Edouard Rodier, a Montreal
Lawyer who was involved with various rebel groups in Lower Canada(Bonenfant).
While studying to become a lawyer, George Cartier almost certainly was exposed to

Let them in! No Muslim Ban! Immigrants welcomed! This is what many protesters

Americans by surprise, although this was not the first time he had mentioned it.
Before his presidency, Donald Trump mentioned that he would impose a ban on
Muslims. Most people doubted him, but his vision soon became a reality. Many
people believe that this ban violated the Muslims human rights to not be
discriminated against, and the right to a nationality. As stated in The Universal
Declaration of Human Rights , no one should be discriminated and human rights
belong to everyone no matter how different they are. When Donald Trumppassed the
ban against Muslims in the United States, this was a clear sign of discrimination. In

Othello was written by Jacobean playwright William Shakespeare in 1603. It proved
a huge success when first performed in 1604, in front of a huge audience. The story
is one of Shakespeare s great tragedy themed plays. Othello is the black protagonist
and highly esteemed Venetian general. Iago is the ambitious but scheming villain of
the play. When Othellopromotes a man called Michael Cassio over Iago, he is furious
and launches a malicious campaign against Othello. Meanwhile, Othello has married
a white woman, Desdemona, without her father knowing. Through Iago s plotting,
Othello suspects that his wife is having an affair and after many murders and plots,

He will take advantage of Othello and is using him for his own means.
Shakespeare wrote this to foreshadow the future, creating tension, because the
audience know there is dishonesty and deception to follow. This is supported by
the quote: in following him, I follow but myself I am not who I am . It y shows
you that Iago does not wear his heart on his sleeve. The word master sounds
mocking, as if Iago is going to betray Othello so this creates tension. So the themes
of hate and appearance vs. reality are introduced through Iago s dialogue. Iago
expresses his hate for Othello He says: ...I do hate him as I do hell pains . The
simile hate explains how much Iago loathes Othello. He compared hatred to hell.
The modern audience aren t as affected by the reference to hell, but the Jacobean
audience would feel the true extent of Iago s hatred. The setting of act one also
contributes to the hatred felt in the play. It is dark and there is a sense of mystery,
creates a tense and dramatic atmosphere. Words such as: despise devil and hell
support this. The references to hell would have made the Jacobean audience weary.
Iago s evil soliloquy is full of hatred and revenge: Hell and night must bring this
monstrous birth to the worlds light . The dark, evil images create a strong reaction in
both audiences. ...to the worlds light indicates scheming will start, doubt will surface.

27. A Short Note On The Constellation Of Cancer
Cancer (constellation) в™‹
The constellation of Cancer is one of the 88 modern constellations: located between
the constellations Leo, Hydra and Gemini at between 07h 55m 19.7973s and 09h
22m 35.0364s right ascension and 33.1415138В° and 6.4700689В° declination. It is
also one of the 12 Zodiac constellations and one of the original 48 listed by the
ancient Greek astronomer Ptolemy. Its name is Latin for crab and its astrological
symbol is в™‹, which represents crab pincers. This constellation attracted my interest
because it contains a galaxy with a binary supermassive black hole system: OJ 287.
The constellation of Cancer as it can be seen in the sky.
In the mythology of The Twelve Labours of Heracles (or Hercules in Roman
mythology) Cancer is a crab sent by Hera to hinder Heracles in his fight against
Hydra. Depending on the version of the story Heracles either kicks Cancer so hard
that the crab is stuck amongst the constellations, or he just crushes Cancer by
stomping on it and Hera places it in the sky for its bravery, but not in a bright part
of the sky because it did not complete its task (Cancer has only two stars brighter
than the 4th magnitude). Magnitude levels are levels of brightness, with lower
numbered levels being brighter than higher number levels (e.g. a magnitude level 1
is brighter than a magnitude 2). Some sources say that cancer was a late addition to
the story and that it was only included to make the 12 zodiac signs coincide with the
12 Labours. A pot

On May 10th, 2010, a 16 year old high school sophomore was walking home from a
party in the Bronx when he was stopped by the police for allegedly stealing a
backpack with a camera, $700, a credit card, and an iPod. With his mom unable to
make bail he was sent to one of the toughest prisons named Rikers Island. He was
locked up for a crimehe didn t commit. His name is Kalief Browder. He spent over
1000 days in Riker s Island and 700 of those days was in solitary confinement.
President Obama was the president at the time, and he banned solitary
confinement for juveniles. He stated, it could lead to devastating, lasting
psychological consequences (Shear, 2016). Which is what ended up happening to
Kalief. Rikers inmates and most correctional officers had a program, the program
included giving up your commissary, phone calls, and if you were with it, you were
considered a punk and if you weren t you were jumped daily. Browder wasn t with
it, so he was jumped on a regular basis, and the COs allowed it. There was one
incident where Kalief was on the phone with his mother, and 8 to 9 guys jumped
him with his mother, still on the phone. Kalief was also tortured by officers, they
would starve him, they wouldn t allow him to shower, they would even give him
food that was half eaten or poisoned, and sometimes they would leave him in his
cell for 24 hours. He had over 30 court dates, but the courts were never ready for trial.

The results of the Bobo Doll Experiment created a surge of interest into the possible
correlation between media violence and violent behaviour. Meyers (2002) conducted
a study on the effects of violent video games and violent television (T.V) programs
on primary school boys. The school boys were divided into non violent and violent
conditions; watching a violent or non violent T.V program, playing a violent or non
violent video game or playing a game and watching a T.V program thereafter
(Meyers 2002). The children then had to answer a questionnaire ,whereby they had
to finish a sentence using a violent or non violent word, for example; I want to ___
the book (tear/read) (Meyers 2002, p. 17). The second test of violent behaviour was
the placement of the children in identical conditions to the Bobo Doll Experiment .
According to Meyers (2002), the children in the violent conditions portrayed more
aggressive behaviour patterns than the boys in the non violent condition, the boys in
the combined condition (playing a video game and watching a violent television
program) had significantly higher aggression levels than those in any other condition.

Oswald comes out wearing a fur coat and the bear comes out wearing nothing but a

The Disney Company is an empire, branching off into many different aspects of our

vacation destinations in the world. When developing his parks, Walt Disneywanted
people to feel as if they were placed right in the middle of their favorite story, a goal
that has very much been obtained. From honeymoons to family vacations, Disney
parks have an undeniable charm to them that keep the public coming back (Knight
2014). For the most part, these parks are a place to escape the hustle and bustle of
the outside world. A place where adults and children alike can live in the magic for
a little while, to be the main character in their favorite stories. To some, however,
the parks are just a symbol of Disney s mass greed. In the book Team Rodent: How
Disney Devours the World , the author tells us how ironic it is that people visit
these parks as a way to escape the very world that Disney has created. One of the

moxibustion initiates the circulatory and immune systems of the body. It s the
blending of both methods that help to intensify the treatment s benefit and delivering
remarkable results depending on the patient s health condition. Today in a clinic
setting both methods are used during the same session with a trained acupuncture
practitioner. There s a second combination of acupuncture and heat treatment being

This is a very valid point, as there are many games, apps, and other websites online,
but there are plenty of ways to address this. Schools can use apps that connect to each
student s laptop, allowing teachers to see all of the students screens and keep them on
task. Schools can also use blocking features to block certain websites and customize
student devices to not allow games or apps that have not been authorized for the
individual student to use. Also, there are many technological features that improve
learning. Many e textbooks give students the ability to highlight, edit, and write notes
without ruining the textbook. Tablets also have built in dictionaries, interactive
diagrams, and videos that help improve learning.
In conclusion, tablets should replace textbooks in schools, because they eliminate
the need for physical storage, cost less, and help students prepare for a world of
technology. Having students grow familiar with the technology around them will
improve their ability to understand technology in the future. Students who are skilled
when it comes to technology will lead others into the future of new technology to
come. A vote for tablets over textbooks is the logical thing to do. Old fashioned ways
are in the past, and new technologies are in the future. As they say, Out with the old

Do Middle School Students Need Recess? Do middle school students need recess?
I think that they do need recess because some kids need a break from learning.
Another reason is kids and adults need some fresh air and exercise throughout the

kids to take up their whole class period. If the teacher don t want the kids to take up
their class period we could possible do it on double or seventh period. The first
reason why I think middle schoolstudents should have recess is some kids need a
break from learning. First of all, kids get to mad and frustrated on one thing and need
a break. Secondly, kids learn too much stuff and then they forget most of the stuff
they learned.

41. Negotiation Theory Essay
NEGOTIATION Negotiation theory Last updated 9 months ago The foundations of
negotiation theory are decision analysis, behavioral decision making, game theory,
and negotiation analysis. Another classification of theories distinguishes between
Structural Analysis, Strategic Analysis, Process Analysis, Integrative Analysis and
behavioral analysis of negotiations. Individuals should make separate, interactive
decisions; and negotiation analysis considers how groups of reasonably bright
individuals should and could make joint, collaborative decisions. These theories are
interleaved and should be approached from the synthetic perspective. Common
Assumptions Of Most Theories Negotiation is a specialized and formal version of
conflict... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Therefore the parties have contradicting incentives to cooperate or defect. If one
party cooperates or makes a concession and the other does not, the defecting party
might relatively gain more. Trust may be built only in repetitive games through
the emergence of reliable patterns of behaviour such as tit for tat. This table
illustrates the options and possible outcomes of the Negotiator s Dilemma. Process
Analysis Process analysis is the theory closest to haggling. Parties start from two
points and converge through a series of concessions. As in strategic analysis, both
sides have a veto (e.g. sell, not sell; pay, not pay). Process analysis also features
structural assumptions, because one side may be weaker or stronger (e.g. more
eager to sell, not willing to pay a certain price). Process Analysis focuses on the
study of the dynamics of processes. E.g. both Zeuthen and Cross tried to find a
formula in order to predict the behaviour of the other party in finding a rate of
concession, in order to predict the likely outcome. The process of negotiation
therefore is considered to unfold between fixed points: starting point of discord, end
point of convergence. The so called security point, that is the result of optional
withdrawal, is also taken into account. Integrative Analysis Integrative analysis
divides the process into successive stages, rather than talking about

42. Harold Bloom Says The Genius Of Shakespeare Is That...
Harold Bloom says the genius of Shakespeare is that Characters develop rather than
unfold, and they develop because they reconceive themselves (The Invention of the
Human XVII). Shakespeare s tragedy Hamlet, shows the development of Hamlet
within the land of Denmark. Hamlet goes through many changes throughout the five
acts, but these changes are not entirely due to the events of the play, but rather to
Hamlets confrontations with himself. He battles with his mindthrough soliloquys, he
overhears himself speaking, and he always questions himself and the world because
he is unable to accept any belief. It is not until the last act that he comes to any
conclusion: an acceptance of fatalism, a philosophy that states that all events are...
Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Hamlet is very aware of his own fate and the fate of all men: to die. He already
knows of fatalism, but he cannot accept it. The thought of death perplexes and
frightens Hamlet. But death, to Hamlet, is not a choice to be made. To be or not to
be, that is the question (3.1.57). To be or not to be is not a choice, it is a question
and a question is a thought and thus a type of freedom, but death is an end, and thus
none of our own.
That death is not a choice and the undiscovered country can never be known in this
life, no matter how much thinking Hamlet does, is what troubles Hamlet the most. It
is as if he knows that following the course of revenge will lead him to his death and
he cannot accept it. He wants to meet his fate but his thoughts delay him: Thus
conscience does make cowards of us all,
and thus the native hue of resolution is sicklied o er with the pale cast of thought
...
... and lose the name of action. (3.1.84 89)
Hamlet thinks of himself as a coward and looks upon himself lowly. He even
describes thought as an act that makes one sick and irresolute. As a character who
disdains thought, but nonetheless is always thinking, Hamlet is always at war with
himself. His father gave him the heavy burden of vengeance and Hamlet feels
inadequate and unready to meet this fate, at least for Acts I IV, because he never acts,
he only thinks and hesitates.
Part of what makes Hamlet think so much is his

47. The History of African Americans in Film Essay
Minstrel shows were developed in the 1840 s and reached its peak after the Civil
War. They managed to remain popular into the early 1900s. The Minstrel shows
were shows in which white performers would paint their faces black and act the role
of an African American. This was called black facing. The minstrel showevolved from
two types of entertainment popular in America before 1830: the impersonation of
blacks given by white actors between acts of plays or during circuses, and the
performances of black musicians who sang, with banjo accompaniment, in city
streets. The father of American minstrelsy was Thomas Dartmouth Daddy Rice, who

singing of songs with harmonized choruses, the exchange of jokes between the
endmen and the performer in the center seat (Mr. Interlocutor), and the introduction
of special variety acts at the conclusion of the bill. Though many of these shows
claimed that these were true African Americansongs that had been brought back by
people who had observed plantation slaves, this wasn?t necessarily true. For
example one of the more common songs such as ?Jim Crow?by Thomas Rice was
simply inspired by a crippled African American that Rice had seen dancing and
singing a song with the chorus of ?Wheel about, an turn about, an do jis so, Eb ry
time I wheel about, I jump Jim Crow.? Many people were lead to believe that this
was how every African American sang and danced and failed to realize that this
was simply the way one man did it. Actual African American actors were rare at the
time. There were only a few African Americans that actually appeared on stage and
those who did only had minor roles such as servants or shoe shiners. This was
mainly because the world was used to African Americans being slaves doing jobs
such as these and people weren?t ready to accept African Americans as equals yet.
There had however been several attempts of African American stage performance
such as New York?s African Grove theater. This theater was founded

(Shepard). Stories of the unicorn told nowadays are seen as pure fantasy that they
live up in the sky, and they only come down to feed on grass. Or that they ride on
rainbows. The main thing that makes a unicorn a unicorn is that it is equestrian in

The name El Chupacabra was given to the beast by the locals because of what it
had done to their livestock, sucked them dry of blood. Chupacabra, loosely
translated, means Goat Sucker in Spanish. It is considered to be vampiric, stand
on two legs, and have piercing red eyes. A creature of the same actions has been
spotted inside of the lower portion of Texas, but not the same description. This
creature was more of a canine creature with no hair, and pale blue skin similar to
that of an elephants, and rather large canine teeth. Although they differ in
appearance, El Chupacabra could very well be either of the two previously
mentioned. There is more evidence concerning the Texas version of the creature,
because eyewitnesses decided to shoot it when they saw it coming for their
chickens. What they discovered was that the canine teeth were bigger than a wolf,
yet smaller than a domestic dog. Hair samplings, and tissue samplings were sent in
to the appropriate experts. The hair came back to be canine in origin due to the
scaling patterns, and the tissue sample was inconclusive for the effects of mange
in the creature because of the sample s age (MonsterQuest). Mange is a disease
caused by mites found inside of canines that leads to excessive itching and hair
loss. The Chupacabra was found to be a canine creature that may very well be a cross
between a coyote and a wolf that will just lead down a new evolutionary

49. Speak Written By Laurie Halse Anderson
There are many valuable aspects in life that may mean a lot to a person. In this case,
friendship is one of the most important relationships a person can have. Human
interaction is something necessary to survive, having a friend is essential to the well
being of everyone. However, not all relationships with people can be considered a
friendshipbecause some may take advantage of others to gain something for
themselves. Whereas, other friendships may last years and remain strong between
the two people, but if there is no trust then there is a possibility of losing a friend. On
the other hand, positive friendships still exist and are the ones to cherish and
appreciate the most. The novel Speakwritten by Laurie Halse Anderson is based on
a fourteen year old girl named Melinda, who was sexually assaulted at a summer
party. She called the police for help but since none of her friendsknew what occurred,
they assumed she called to get them all in trouble. This made her an outcast and she
spent her ninth grade year by herself. The theme of friendship is evident in the
novel Speak as it impacts the protagonist Melinda. This is seen through Melinda s
friendship with Rachel, Mr. Freeman, and Heather. Rachel and Melinda have been
friends for many years however, the incident that happened at the party drastically
changed their friendship. They were very close that they would never leave each
other s side to eventually not being able to look into each other s eyes. Their

50. Negative Effects Of Golf
To this day, golf is one of two sports to be played on the moon along with the
Javelin throw. Apollo 14 member Alan Shepard pulled out a makeshift six iron he
smuggled on board and hit two golf balls on the lunar surface, becoming the first
and only person to play golf anywhere other than Earth. Golf originated in Scotland
and has since changed exponentially. Scotlander s would hit the ball with wooden
clubs. Now, golfer s use the most forgiving metal clubs available and spend as much
time at the gym as they do chipping. Today s professionals are gym rats that continue
to thrive for perfect flexibility and muscle mass. The game of golfis no longer a game,
it s a grind to become superhuman. The discussion of questioning golf s status as a
sport de legitimizes it s $975 million dollar industry, the definition of a sport in the
Merriam Webster Dictionary, and the tough mental and physical requirements to
stay ahead on the 18th. The PGA earned over $975 million in the past year, but
their earnings rely on worldwide participation. If Golf is labeled a game, the
industry could become bankrupt because participation would go down. Look at
bowling, according to the sports writer Tim McGlone, who has written many pieces

Regarding the article, Columbus, the Indians, and Human Progress, Dr. Howard Zinn
argues that there is another perspective to consider as to Christopher Columbus
adventures. Dr. Howard Zinn s position is that history books have omissions of
slavery, death and innocent bloodshed that accompanied the adventures of
Christopher Columbus. In the following statements Dr. Howard Zinn describes his
perspective; The writer began the history, five hundred years ago, of the European
invasion of the Indian Settlement in the Americas. That beginning, when you read
Las Casas even if his figures are exaggerations (were there 3 million Indians to begin
with, as he says or 250,000, as modern historians calculate) is conquest, slavery, and

They were willing to trade everything they owned. They were will built, with good
bodies and handsome features. They would make fine servants.... With fifty men we
could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want . In this quote, Dr.
Zinn gives what he believed to be another motivation of Columbus, which was the
motivation to make the Indians into slaves for monetary gain. Dr. Zinn believed this
to be the motivation of what he termed the Europe of the Renaissance . Dr Zinn
states; theses traits, speaking of the Arawak, did not stand in the Europe of the
Renaissance, dominated as it was by the religion of popes, the government of kings,
the frenzy for the money that marketed Western civilization and its first messenger to
the Americas, Christopher Columbus.
Dr. Zinn references numerous accounts of innocent bloodshed, cruelty and the
enslavement of Indians by Columbus and his soldiers from De Las Casa s books
prior to Columbus return to Spain. Dr. Zinn records the following statements from
De Las Casa book in which he says; Endless testimonies ... prove the mild and
pacific temperament of the natives. But our work was to exasperate, ravage, kill,
mangle and destroy; small wonder, then, if they tried to kill one of us now and
then.... The admiral, it is true, was blind as those who came after him, and he was so

54. How Did Frederick Douglass Benefit From His Education
Throughout the works of Frederick Douglass there is a prominent contradiction
referring to literacy. At times, Douglass regrets his education as it makes his slavery
more difficult to tolerate. Additionally, his education opens them up to more abuse
as Harriet Jacob asserts they were living in a culture of silence (Cutter 209).
Thorough examination of Frederick Douglass writing reveals various paradoxes
within his testimony regarding his literary education; while Douglass did benefit
from his education in some way, in many other ways, it shattered his spirit and lead
to a lifetime of abuse.
Douglass narrative demonstrates how his literary education is both a blessing and a
curse. He believed that permitting slaves to read was a contradiction, a paradox if you
will, unable to render freedom, or provide them a legitimate education. Douglass
reasoned that the education was a ploy to let African Americans believe they were
treated fairly. Douglass expresses, As I read and contemplated the subject, behold!
that very discontentment which Master Hugh had predicted would follow my
learning to read had already come, to torment and sting my soul to unutterable
anguish (Douglass 1200). Douglass displays the injustice and frustration of this
situation; he is fully aware that he is being treated unfairly.
For a short time, Douglass did consider his literacy a gift. This was the first
opportunity that many African Americans had to obtain an education. Having the
ability to read
