Stanford University Executive Summary
The grand total per year for Stanford University is 77,831.60 dollars. The application fee is going to be 90 dollars. Since Stanford is in California and I
am a resident in Nevada, I will have to pay 47,331.00 dollars for undergraduate non–resident tuition. My books are going to cost 1,455.00 dollars,
which is a reasonable price for books. For housing, I will have to pay 6,318.00 dollars and that is a very good price for a year. Then dining will cost
at about 5,761.00 dollars. Then my student service, recreation center, and miscellaneous fees will cost 5,121.00 dollars, which I think is a little too
much. Lastly, my insurance fee will be costing me 4,680.00 dollars. The bonus for going to Stanford is that I don't have to go to community

College Admissions Essay: Why I Want To Study Art
Since I was a young girl, I've loved to make things. I was often found doodling intricate patterns all over my notes, crafting collages out of magazine
clippings, molding cities out of playdough, and making beautifully detailed cards out of paper. I would draw from life with an imaginative twist, as
well as frequently sketch from my manikin. I was interested in many branches of the arts. I did theatre and dance for a number of years as well.
Although I had always been interested in the arts, school made me think it was unimportant so I pushed my interest aside and attempted other things.
Yet, I dedicated myself whole heartedly to any opportunity to craft and find creativity in my assignments. I could spend hours on a smalldrawing
assignment for English. I would lose myself in the enjoyment.
Last year, I was given a life changing opportunity to take free portrait drawing classes. To my surprise, I was actually quite good. My success in this
class inspired me to sign up for more MCAD classes over the summer, specifically painting and comic book art.
This sparked a fiery passion in me. I began to draw daily. It made me feel so good about myself to do art again. I felt I was doing what I am meant to
do. I enjoy every aspect of making art. Even though I don't "enjoy" struggling, I take it on gladly because I know it will help me improve. I'm...show

Although all the work was individual, being in an environment with others my age working on the same projects was a collaborative effort. We
would give each other critiques and bounce off each other's ideas. This experience helped me grow, but working alone was where I truly discovered
myself as an artist. My teacher's job was to guide us when we were stuck, so it was difficult not to have constant criticism of my work. Through this
experience I learned to be my own critic. I learned that there is no one–way art process and that's something that makes it so hard yet

Letter : The Admissions Committee
Dear Admissions Committee, Sometimes in your teaching career you come across a student that will live long in the memory for all of the right
reasons and after 26 years of teaching I can honestly say that Awnit Marta will be one such student. I have had the pleasure of teaching and acting
as the counsellor for Awnit over the last 6 years and know him to be a young man who combines a genuine academic ability, with the social skills
of a captain of industry. Here is a young man who controls a room by walking into it, who takes risks in a considered way and uses his love of life to
broaden his own horizons and challenge himself. Awnit is one of the most natural young leaders I have met and is often turned to by the school in
times of need. He...show more content...
Here is a young man who dreams of greater things and who then has the character and ambition to achieve. I am personally delighted and immensely
proud of the fact that Ricky has even become our resident expert on some US universities and he is single handedly leading his contemporaries down
a similarly ambitious path. Awnit has always had a voice and he uses it in a wise and constructive way. He develops his craft in lessons by honing his
logical approach to problems and asking incisive questions. He has become a prominent member of our Physics mentoring team, with whom he takes
on problem solving and inspiring his peers and younger students. Most recently as our lead student on the European CERN@schools original research
programme. He was selected amongst hundreds of applicants to attend the European Southern observatory Astronomy camp beating the competition of
many students from prestigious schools. These events have enabled Awnit to showcase his skills holding his own against more privileged students,
honing his analytical skills and teaching him how to engage with a wide range of different social and cultural groups. These challenges of the mind are
indeed some of the memories of Awnit that will stay with me the longest. Awnit's motivation for his dedicated involvement in school life stems from his
passionate commitment to equality and fairness. Greenford High School is an oasis of multi–culturalism in a part of London that can be a little

As a child growing up in Communist China, I woke up every morning to the blasting of People's Central Broadcasting Station from a large radio on the
dresser and fell asleep every evening in the surreptitious murmuring of Voices from America from a small radio by Grandpa's pillow. By fourth grade, I
figured out that the two stations often reported the same events from opposite standpoints, using different words and tones, and thus projected
contradictory interpretations onto the same events. Eager to share this revelation with my grandparents, I pointed out the differences between the two
stations by singing their respective theme songs and by imitating the voices of their newscasters. To mydisappointment,...show more content...
This past summer, I conducted thesis research on communal and private spaces in Shanghai, where, through video interviews with former residents, I
traced the external and internal, concrete and abstract changes in three houses from their inceptions to the present. Each house may be thought of as a
palimpsest of memories, of which every wall has markings from different decades, and every altar held a succession of gods and idols. In excavating
these private histories, I was particularly struck by the ambivalent and ironic moments, where it was impossible to draw a clear line between good and
evil, between innocence and guilt, where the humanity of the situation was stripped of the cloak of abstract principles and became uniquely touching.
Driven by the wish to rescue common people's stories from sweeping historical master–narratives and by the impulse to help different cultures
understand one another on a profound, human level, I want to be a writer and documentary filmmaker, so that I can pay intimate attention to
individuals while dealing with larger issues. Film, in particular, can immerse its audience in the world it recreates, allowing them to recognize
themselves in others and thereby bridging the distance between the two.
My own immersion in a foreign culture, however, has been limited to the U.S.. Many other parts of the globe remain images and concepts to me, even
Europe, a continent that has so deeply influenced and

'Slow and steady wins the race', they say. Nothing best describes my passage through life as does this adage: mine has been flanked by academic
challenges and high family standards. Yet, I have not only always pulled through but have done so most gallantly, even finishing best at some levels.
Primary and Secondary Schools education were for me, not quite fulfilling, that is at first. I was quite poor in Mathematics. Having older siblings
who excelled in all subjects did not make it any easier. Everyone compared me with them. As a result, I had a low self esteem and continued to

Even so, I realized that I would have to thrive among a large class of students most of whom could already read, write and speak French. With a
foundation steeped in resolve, I again made up my mind to give it my best shot. I decided to do more than merely survive and so, I began teaching,
on Saturdays, at a French club for children between the ages of 3 and 14. I used songs and poems as learning aids and assisted them in doing
assignments from their various schools. I also spent hours in the university library, poring over any book that was written in French, and checking up
French vocabulary in my dictionary. Although I had to sacrifice time that would have been used in leisure, it was well worth the effort. I graduated
5th best in a class of 135 people. The secret of my conquest was simple, albeit riddled with painstaking attempts and occasional failures: 'If you fail, try
again!' Learning French also fulfilled my interests in traveling. I had the opportunity to visit French–speaking African countries like Benin Republic
and Togo. I did not only become fluent in the language, but also came to understand how the culture, beliefs, and traditions of man shape what values
he represents. Likewise, I realized that factors such as art, literature, language, music, dance, laws, wars among others, are all key in the

Stanford University Admissions Essay
Located in Northern California, near Palo Alto, Stanford University is a medium sized, private university with 16,000 students. It is often referred to
as the "Ivy League of the West." As the most selective college in the United States, Stanford accepts only 4.8% of the approximately 44,000
applicants, carefully selecting applicants that have the potential to be leaders in the future. Leaders such as John F. Kennedy (US President), Larry
Page & Sergey Brin (co–founders of Google), and Elon Musk (Entrepreneur – best known for Tesla motors) are well known alumni of Stanford who
have become extremely successful in their respective fields. When applying to Stanford one should consider the admissions criteria, tuition, and
academic majors. Also, it is important to have academic support, understand the college's demographics, and familiarize oneself with campus life. Of
the 44,000 applicants, only 4.8% are accepted, making Stanford University admission an uncommon feat. When applying, the admissions office looks
at several factors to determine an application. (see fig. 1) Like many colleges, Stanford does not have specific requirements for different factors...show

The cost for basic tuition at Stanford is $45,729 per year. Other costs such as room and board, required fees, books/supplies, transportation, and
other expenses raise the total to $65,177 per year. Given this, the cost of 4 years at Stanford equates to roughly $260,000. Many students only have
to pay a fraction of this cost as nearly 70% of students receive an average financial aid. Also, if a student's parent income is less than $125,000 per
year a student does not have to pay tuition, and if income is less than $65,000 per year a student is not expected to pay tuition or room and board.
Attending Stanford is definitely an expense, but the university offers many financial aid options to students unable to

I became a technical support analyst. Of course, I loved my job, but the career path in the field required the degree. Thus, I started looking for the
place where I want to study because I did not need the diploma only, I starved for the knowledge. Spending days and nights, occasionally, I found the
University of Texas at Austin. I have made a huge research about the programs offered there. As a result, my thoughts about the university became solid
– I wanted to study there only. Thus, I started to look for the ways to get to the university because it was expensive for my pocket. I found the Austin
Community College, one of the best community colleges in the United States. Not only did ACC seem to be a solution for me, but also it offered less
expensive education with high quality – otherwise UT would not accept transferring the credits. Once I received the acceptance letter I was the
happiest man on the Earth until I paid for the credits since the price was 2,000$ more than I expected. It would be fine if I were not about to become

College Admissions Essay: The Worth Of Education
The worth of education has somehow become less. Is it because people think their "social lives" will be hindered by the unlawful time they must give

Stanford Prison Experiment Essay
When put into an authoritative position over others, is it possible to claim that with this new power individual(s) would be fair and ethical or could it
be said that ones true colors would show? A group of researchers, headed by Stanford University psychologist Philip G. Zimbardo, designed and
executed an unusual experiment that used a mock prison setting, with college students role–playing either as prisoners or guards to test the power of
the social situation to determine psychological effects and behavior (1971). The experiment simulated a real life scenario of William Golding's novel,
"Lord of the Flies" showing a decay and failure of traditional rules and morals; distracting exactly how people should behave toward one another. This

To ensure to have satisfactory results in his study, Zimbardo required some preconditions. One of which was the period of time for the experiment to
be conducted. He believed that one–to–two weeks would be essential in "providing our research participants with sufficient time for them to become
fully engaged in their experimentally assigned roles of either guards or prisoners. Having [our] participants live in that setting day and night, if
prisoners, or work for long eight–hour shifts, if guards, would also allow sufficient time for situational norms to develop and patters of social
interaction to emerge, change and become crystallized" (Zimbardo, 2013). Other preconditions he had were the mentalities of his volunteers; are they
"normal," healthy mentally and physically, are they without any prior history of conviction or drug usage? Some other preconditions were to make the
experimental setting bear a resemblance as closely to a functional simulation of the psychology of imprisonment as humanly possible. He also wanted
to make sure that there was the absence of any earlier indoctrination in how to play the randomly assigned roles; to leave that up to each participant's
prior societal teachings of the meaning of prisons and the behavioral scripts associated with the oppositional roles (Zambardo, 2005). Although he had a

When it comes to giving speeches, such as the one that the late Steve Jobs gave at Stanford University, the speaker must grab the attention of the

and inspire the graduates of Stanford University. He wanted to show the students that you could go from nothing to something if you connect
with something you love and live your life. In his speech he used a quote which said ВЁ If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll

Stanford University Executive Summary Breakdown

  • 1. Stanford University Executive Summary The grand total per year for Stanford University is 77,831.60 dollars. The application fee is going to be 90 dollars. Since Stanford is in California and I am a resident in Nevada, I will have to pay 47,331.00 dollars for undergraduate non–resident tuition. My books are going to cost 1,455.00 dollars, which is a reasonable price for books. For housing, I will have to pay 6,318.00 dollars and that is a very good price for a year. Then dining will cost at about 5,761.00 dollars. Then my student service, recreation center, and miscellaneous fees will cost 5,121.00 dollars, which I think is a little too much. Lastly, my insurance fee will be costing me 4,680.00 dollars. The bonus for going to Stanford is that I don't have to go to community Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. College Admissions Essay: Why I Want To Study Art Since I was a young girl, I've loved to make things. I was often found doodling intricate patterns all over my notes, crafting collages out of magazine clippings, molding cities out of playdough, and making beautifully detailed cards out of paper. I would draw from life with an imaginative twist, as well as frequently sketch from my manikin. I was interested in many branches of the arts. I did theatre and dance for a number of years as well. Although I had always been interested in the arts, school made me think it was unimportant so I pushed my interest aside and attempted other things. Yet, I dedicated myself whole heartedly to any opportunity to craft and find creativity in my assignments. I could spend hours on a smalldrawing assignment for English. I would lose myself in the enjoyment. Last year, I was given a life changing opportunity to take free portrait drawing classes. To my surprise, I was actually quite good. My success in this class inspired me to sign up for more MCAD classes over the summer, specifically painting and comic book art. This sparked a fiery passion in me. I began to draw daily. It made me feel so good about myself to do art again. I felt I was doing what I am meant to do. I enjoy every aspect of making art. Even though I don't "enjoy" struggling, I take it on gladly because I know it will help me improve. I'm...show more content... Although all the work was individual, being in an environment with others my age working on the same projects was a collaborative effort. We would give each other critiques and bounce off each other's ideas. This experience helped me grow, but working alone was where I truly discovered myself as an artist. My teacher's job was to guide us when we were stuck, so it was difficult not to have constant criticism of my work. Through this experience I learned to be my own critic. I learned that there is no one–way art process and that's something that makes it so hard yet Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Letter : The Admissions Committee Dear Admissions Committee, Sometimes in your teaching career you come across a student that will live long in the memory for all of the right reasons and after 26 years of teaching I can honestly say that Awnit Marta will be one such student. I have had the pleasure of teaching and acting as the counsellor for Awnit over the last 6 years and know him to be a young man who combines a genuine academic ability, with the social skills of a captain of industry. Here is a young man who controls a room by walking into it, who takes risks in a considered way and uses his love of life to broaden his own horizons and challenge himself. Awnit is one of the most natural young leaders I have met and is often turned to by the school in times of need. He...show more content... Here is a young man who dreams of greater things and who then has the character and ambition to achieve. I am personally delighted and immensely proud of the fact that Ricky has even become our resident expert on some US universities and he is single handedly leading his contemporaries down a similarly ambitious path. Awnit has always had a voice and he uses it in a wise and constructive way. He develops his craft in lessons by honing his logical approach to problems and asking incisive questions. He has become a prominent member of our Physics mentoring team, with whom he takes on problem solving and inspiring his peers and younger students. Most recently as our lead student on the European CERN@schools original research programme. He was selected amongst hundreds of applicants to attend the European Southern observatory Astronomy camp beating the competition of many students from prestigious schools. These events have enabled Awnit to showcase his skills holding his own against more privileged students, honing his analytical skills and teaching him how to engage with a wide range of different social and cultural groups. These challenges of the mind are indeed some of the memories of Awnit that will stay with me the longest. Awnit's motivation for his dedicated involvement in school life stems from his passionate commitment to equality and fairness. Greenford High School is an oasis of multi–culturalism in a part of London that can be a little Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Cambridge Admissions Essay Cambridge Admissions Essay As a child growing up in Communist China, I woke up every morning to the blasting of People's Central Broadcasting Station from a large radio on the dresser and fell asleep every evening in the surreptitious murmuring of Voices from America from a small radio by Grandpa's pillow. By fourth grade, I figured out that the two stations often reported the same events from opposite standpoints, using different words and tones, and thus projected contradictory interpretations onto the same events. Eager to share this revelation with my grandparents, I pointed out the differences between the two stations by singing their respective theme songs and by imitating the voices of their newscasters. To mydisappointment,...show more content... This past summer, I conducted thesis research on communal and private spaces in Shanghai, where, through video interviews with former residents, I traced the external and internal, concrete and abstract changes in three houses from their inceptions to the present. Each house may be thought of as a palimpsest of memories, of which every wall has markings from different decades, and every altar held a succession of gods and idols. In excavating these private histories, I was particularly struck by the ambivalent and ironic moments, where it was impossible to draw a clear line between good and evil, between innocence and guilt, where the humanity of the situation was stripped of the cloak of abstract principles and became uniquely touching. Driven by the wish to rescue common people's stories from sweeping historical master–narratives and by the impulse to help different cultures understand one another on a profound, human level, I want to be a writer and documentary filmmaker, so that I can pay intimate attention to individuals while dealing with larger issues. Film, in particular, can immerse its audience in the world it recreates, allowing them to recognize themselves in others and thereby bridging the distance between the two. My own immersion in a foreign culture, however, has been limited to the U.S.. Many other parts of the globe remain images and concepts to me, even Europe, a continent that has so deeply influenced and Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Graduate School Admissions Essay 'Slow and steady wins the race', they say. Nothing best describes my passage through life as does this adage: mine has been flanked by academic challenges and high family standards. Yet, I have not only always pulled through but have done so most gallantly, even finishing best at some levels. Primary and Secondary Schools education were for me, not quite fulfilling, that is at first. I was quite poor in Mathematics. Having older siblings who excelled in all subjects did not make it any easier. Everyone compared me with them. As a result, I had a low self esteem and continued to perform poorly until my final secondary examinations. It was then that I told myself I could do it. I burnt the midnight oil for days on end and prayed ...show more content... Even so, I realized that I would have to thrive among a large class of students most of whom could already read, write and speak French. With a foundation steeped in resolve, I again made up my mind to give it my best shot. I decided to do more than merely survive and so, I began teaching, on Saturdays, at a French club for children between the ages of 3 and 14. I used songs and poems as learning aids and assisted them in doing assignments from their various schools. I also spent hours in the university library, poring over any book that was written in French, and checking up French vocabulary in my dictionary. Although I had to sacrifice time that would have been used in leisure, it was well worth the effort. I graduated 5th best in a class of 135 people. The secret of my conquest was simple, albeit riddled with painstaking attempts and occasional failures: 'If you fail, try again!' Learning French also fulfilled my interests in traveling. I had the opportunity to visit French–speaking African countries like Benin Republic and Togo. I did not only become fluent in the language, but also came to understand how the culture, beliefs, and traditions of man shape what values he represents. Likewise, I realized that factors such as art, literature, language, music, dance, laws, wars among others, are all key in the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Stanford University Admissions Essay Located in Northern California, near Palo Alto, Stanford University is a medium sized, private university with 16,000 students. It is often referred to as the "Ivy League of the West." As the most selective college in the United States, Stanford accepts only 4.8% of the approximately 44,000 applicants, carefully selecting applicants that have the potential to be leaders in the future. Leaders such as John F. Kennedy (US President), Larry Page & Sergey Brin (co–founders of Google), and Elon Musk (Entrepreneur – best known for Tesla motors) are well known alumni of Stanford who have become extremely successful in their respective fields. When applying to Stanford one should consider the admissions criteria, tuition, and academic majors. Also, it is important to have academic support, understand the college's demographics, and familiarize oneself with campus life. Of the 44,000 applicants, only 4.8% are accepted, making Stanford University admission an uncommon feat. When applying, the admissions office looks at several factors to determine an application. (see fig. 1) Like many colleges, Stanford does not have specific requirements for different factors...show more content... The cost for basic tuition at Stanford is $45,729 per year. Other costs such as room and board, required fees, books/supplies, transportation, and other expenses raise the total to $65,177 per year. Given this, the cost of 4 years at Stanford equates to roughly $260,000. Many students only have to pay a fraction of this cost as nearly 70% of students receive an average financial aid. Also, if a student's parent income is less than $125,000 per year a student does not have to pay tuition, and if income is less than $65,000 per year a student is not expected to pay tuition or room and board. Attending Stanford is definitely an expense, but the university offers many financial aid options to students unable to Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. I have a dream. I want to be a programmer, graduated from one of the best universities, the University of Texas at Austin. And I am going to do my best to be a good student at ACC to make my dreams come true for the sake of my family, my supportive wife and my baby, who is coming in the next 3 weeks. For many years of my life, I wanted to be a pianist. But my life changed dramatically when the doctor told me that I would not be able to play the piano anymore – my left hand cannot retreat. I was in crises since I lost the things I lived for. I am very thankful to my wife who supported me during that time. In a few months, I ended up with the idea of going back to Math, my favorite class at school. Consequently, I came to computer science, which...show more content... I became a technical support analyst. Of course, I loved my job, but the career path in the field required the degree. Thus, I started looking for the place where I want to study because I did not need the diploma only, I starved for the knowledge. Spending days and nights, occasionally, I found the University of Texas at Austin. I have made a huge research about the programs offered there. As a result, my thoughts about the university became solid – I wanted to study there only. Thus, I started to look for the ways to get to the university because it was expensive for my pocket. I found the Austin Community College, one of the best community colleges in the United States. Not only did ACC seem to be a solution for me, but also it offered less expensive education with high quality – otherwise UT would not accept transferring the credits. Once I received the acceptance letter I was the happiest man on the Earth until I paid for the credits since the price was 2,000$ more than I expected. It would be fine if I were not about to become a father. Our expenses, as well as our responsibilities, are getting greater. But I am ready to face this challenge because now I have more motivation than ever – I have the wife and the baby I will do everything for. And I will do all my best to become a programmer they can be proud Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Some of my favorite things about theatre are, the people that are involved, how helpful theatre is and how helpful everyone is, then my last thing is how much fun we have. One of my top favorite things about theatre is the people that are involved within it. Every person has a different personalities, that put together makes a new and neat experience. Theatre is an important part of my life and I enjoy every minute, while I'm there. All of the theatre kids are close.

  • 11. College Admissions Essay: The Worth Of Education The worth of education has somehow become less. Is it because people think their "social lives" will be hindered by the unlawful time they must give up to read these so called leaves with ancient inscriptions on them? Do they feel that education is beneath them, that if they were to even try to expand their minds; they would be deemed an outcast? The answers to these questions lies in society. I have lived in many parts of our nation and of the world. Growing up I was tough education is everything, the only thing you can take advantage of. Because in the end all you have is your knowledge. Born and raised for sometime in Beaumont,Texas allowed me to gain my foundation. The tools that I would take with for me forever. My parents placed me in Harmony Science Academy in the fifth...show more content... I had the support and the willpower to want to learn even with a name that labeled me as a disability. From there my father received order to Kaiserslautern, Germany. This was the next stage to expanded my horizons; not just on an intellectual level but on a level of acceptance and understanding. Being around people from the nations of the world I began my seventh grade year in a program called AVID, it taught me the meaning of education. Giving me the tools such as taking Cornell notes, planning for college, and just planning for life. Living in Germany not only made me world rounded but accepting as well. Then I moved to Carbondale, Illinois for eighth grade and I was in for a shock. I had never been around people who didn't care. People who grew up no caring about where the future. People who put down others when they saw they spoke proper. I was referred as " Too white for the white people and not black at all". When did being educated and wanting to pursue ahigher education become a social discrimination? Where not only are you frowned upon but you stripped from your race.

  • 12. Carnegie Mellon University Admission Essay I strongly believe that Carnegie Mellon University is teaching and engaging with people who improve the lives through technologies, and who have taken the responsibility of what happens in the rest of the century. The university's emphasis on the new–age technology in STEM fields, offering opportunities to work on projects that unite multiple disciplines with an integrative approach, fascinates me. I want to learn, create, and innovate at CMU, Pittsburgh with a 'Major' in Computer Science at the School of Computer Science, in the University.

As I walk through the gates on the Forbes Avenue, I feel at home. I can see myself picking a book from the Librarian Jessica Benner and sitting cross–legged, reading on the steps of The Engineering and Science Library, Designing and launching my Robot while working under Martial Hebert, taking time off to eat at Schatz in the Cohon University Center. Walk the 'Cut' and check the Fence. Study and learn the basics under the internationally renowned faculty. Attend presentations by eminent speakers. Talk to the fellow students, and explore the Pittsburgh City. Further, with the university's expansive network of global educational opportunities, which includes the satellite campus in Qatar, I wish to make use of the study abroad program to spend one or two semesters, here in Qatar. That will allow me to spare some time with my family while I continue to study my course. Moreover, a safe and secure campus is a good reassurance to a girl student. That, coupled with the university's stand as a leading institution for women in computer science, makes my ambition stronger to join CMU, Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 13. Stanford Prison Experiment Essay When put into an authoritative position over others, is it possible to claim that with this new power individual(s) would be fair and ethical or could it be said that ones true colors would show? A group of researchers, headed by Stanford University psychologist Philip G. Zimbardo, designed and executed an unusual experiment that used a mock prison setting, with college students role–playing either as prisoners or guards to test the power of the social situation to determine psychological effects and behavior (1971). The experiment simulated a real life scenario of William Golding's novel, "Lord of the Flies" showing a decay and failure of traditional rules and morals; distracting exactly how people should behave toward one another. This ...show more content... To ensure to have satisfactory results in his study, Zimbardo required some preconditions. One of which was the period of time for the experiment to be conducted. He believed that one–to–two weeks would be essential in "providing our research participants with sufficient time for them to become fully engaged in their experimentally assigned roles of either guards or prisoners. Having [our] participants live in that setting day and night, if prisoners, or work for long eight–hour shifts, if guards, would also allow sufficient time for situational norms to develop and patters of social interaction to emerge, change and become crystallized" (Zimbardo, 2013). Other preconditions he had were the mentalities of his volunteers; are they "normal," healthy mentally and physically, are they without any prior history of conviction or drug usage? Some other preconditions were to make the experimental setting bear a resemblance as closely to a functional simulation of the psychology of imprisonment as humanly possible. He also wanted to make sure that there was the absence of any earlier indoctrination in how to play the randomly assigned roles; to leave that up to each participant's prior societal teachings of the meaning of prisons and the behavioral scripts associated with the oppositional roles (Zambardo, 2005). Although he had a significantly large abundance Get more content on HelpWriting.net

The expectation of a New York daily paper that Stanford teachers would "address in marble corridors to discharge seats" was immediately negated. The main understudy body comprised of 555 men and ladies, and the first personnel of 15 was extended to 49 for the second year. The college's first president was David Starr Jordan, an alum of Cornell, who left his post as president of Indiana University to join the enterprise out West. The Stanfords drew in Frederick Law Olmsted, the extremely popular scene planner who made New York's Central Park, to outline the physical arrangement for the college. The joint effort was petulant, yet at long last brought about an association of quadrangles on an east–west pivot. Today, as Stanford keeps on growing, the college's modelers endeavor to regard those unique college Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 15. Steve Jobs Commencement Speech Essay When it comes to giving speeches, such as the one that the late Steve Jobs gave at Stanford University, the speaker must grab the attention of the audience. The best way to grab the attention of the audience is by using ethos, pathos and logos. Jobs used all of these in his Commencement speech at Stanford University on June 12, 2005. There were three stories he told about his life during this speech. Within those stories he used pathos to add light the failures and the successes he had faced throughout his lifetime.

Jobs used this speech to connect with the audience and inspire the graduates of Stanford University. He wanted to show the students that you could go from nothing to something if you connect with something you love and live your life. In his speech he used a quote which said ВЁ If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.ВЁ Jobs and his company partner Waz went from being twenty years old in his parents garage working on the first Macintosh to being thirty years old and owning a two billion dollar company with more than four thousand employees. Jobs went from being a nobody to being one of the most well known names in our nation in a matter of just ten years. He not only showed how he created a name for himself; he showed guidance to the graduates of Stanford University. Guidance to live their life the way they intend to not the way society believes they should. Morals is a huge deal for Jobs; he used ethos to connect this with the audience. Jobs became a mentor for those graduates that day. Jobs is the definition of success and the audience can see that by the way he delivers his speech.
