This document discusses the four main types of paragraphs: descriptive, persuasive, expository, and narrative. Descriptive paragraphs aim to describe something without physical contact using details that appeal to the senses. Persuasive paragraphs try to influence the reader's opinion using facts and rhetoric. Expository paragraphs provide information to help explain or instruct, often using examples. Narrative paragraphs tell a story through a sequence of events with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Examples of each type are given from literature to illustrate their key features.

· Textbook: Chapter 3
· Lesson
· Minimum of 3 scholarly sources (in addition to the textbook)
Instructions
This week we explored the topics of self-concept, self-esteem and self-presentation. Take some time to reflect on your own self-concept. Who are you? How do you define yourself? How do you feel about your abilities to be successful and accomplish your goals? What image of yourself do you currently, or do you wish to moving forward present to the world. Keep that introspective reflection in mind as you move through this assignment, considering how your own understanding of these ideas has evolved over the years to your present level of development.
Now, pretend that you have been asked to speak to a group of middle school students on the topic of bullying as it relates to self-concept, self-esteem and self-presentation. Create a PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:
· Keeping in mind your audience of 12-14 year olds, define self-concept, self-esteem and self-presentation.
· Analyze and explain the possible causes of bullying in the context of these three concepts.
· Analyze and explain the impact of bullying (on the victim and aggressor) of these three concepts.
· Provide specific actions or behaviors kids in your audience can use to stop or respond positively when they see bullying, are bullied, or are tempted to bully.
As you complete your presentation, be sure to:
· Use speaker's notes to expand upon the bullet point main ideas on your slides, making references to research and theory with citation.
· Proof your work
· Use visuals (pictures, video, narration, graphs, etc.) to compliment the text in your presentation and to reinforce your content.
· Do not just write a paper and copy chunks of it into each slide. Treat this as if you were going to give this presentation live to a group of middle school kids - be relevant, engaging, and focused.

Can you imagine living a meaningful or coherent life without a clear sense of who you are? In The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, neurologist Oliver Sacks (1985) described such a person—a patient named William Thompson. According to Sacks, Thompson suffered from an organic brain disorder that im- pairs a person’s memory of recent events. Unable to recall anything for more than a few seconds, Thompson was always disoriented and lacked a sense of inner continuity. The effect on his behavior was startling. Trying to grasp a constantly vanishing identity, Thomps ...
What are the types of nonverbal communication used by President John.pdfFootageetoffe16
What are the types of nonverbal communication used by President John F. Kennedy in his
inaugural address? How effectively was it used?
Solution
Once you have spoken words, they are no longer yours. Other people will translate them,
evaluate them, and measure them. Choose your words, make them appropriate for the situation,
and be aware of the power of words. Poorly chosen words or speech used for personal, hubris, or
evil can impact self-esteem, destroy morale, kill enthusiasm, inflame bias, incite hatred, lower
expectations, hold people back, and even make people physically or mentally ill. Inappropriate
words can make work and home toxic, abusive environments. There are many empirical studies
showing that people who live and/or work in toxic environments suffer more colds, more cases
of flu, more heart attacks, more depression, more of almost all chronic disorders, physical and
emotional, than people who report living and/or working in happy, enjoyable, caring
environments.
The old parental advice, “Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can never hurt you,”
was simply bad advice. However, well-chosen words or speech for the benefit of good or hope
for others can motivate or inspire others to greater feats and deeds. They can offer hope; create
vision; impact thinking beliefs and behavior of others; and alter results of strategy, plans,
objectives, and people’s lives.
Peggy Noonan, the national syndicated columnist, knows a thing or two about words and how
they impact us. She wrote recently about the advice Clare Boothe Luce once gave the newly
inaugurated U.S. President John F. Kennedy. Ms. Luce was truly a remarkable woman. Her
career spanned seven decades and nearly as many professional interests—journalism, politics,
theatre, diplomacy, and intelligence.
According to Ms. Noonan, the sentence idea comes from a story Clare Boothe Luce told about a
conversation she had in 1962 in the White House with her old friend John F. Kennedy. She said
she told him that “a great man is one sentence.” His leadership can be so well summed up in a
single sentence that you don’t have to hear his name to know who’s being talked about. “He
preserved the union and freed the slaves” or “He lifted us out of a great depression and helped to
win a World War.” You didn’t have to be told “Lincoln” or “FDR.”
She wondered what Kennedy’s sentence would be. She was telling him to concentrate, to know
the great themes and demands of his time, and focus on them. It was good advice. History has
imperatives, and sometimes they are clear. Sometimes they are met, and sometimes not. When
they’re clear and met, you get quite a sentence
Let’s look at a more contemporary example: the historic 2012 presidential debates. These
debates may have more significance than previous ones because of the words chosen by the
candidates, their rhythm, and their physical, nonverbal cues. A big part of communicating
successfully depends on how well we negotiate the paradox of how th.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

phenomenon, item or event described in
detail.
DESCRIPTIVE PARAGRAPHS
5. Their feature are:
Words usually appeal to the five senses of
touch, smell, sight, sound, and taste.
They normally include modifiers (e.g.,
adjectives, adverbs, prepositional phrases)
Figurative language are very common as
well (e.g., metaphors, personification,
similes)
6. “I climb up on the loading platform in back of the small
country hardware store somewhere off Route 13 near
Nassawadox on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. I am
looking for the proprietor. The air is cool in the shadows
of the storeroom and redolent of fresh-sawn lumber. I
hear voices behind me. The proprietor, middle-aged with
skin leathered by the sun, is taking to two young white
men in bib overalls. The young white men are leaning on
a rusting 1962 Ford station wagon of indeterminate
color. From the shadows of the storeroom, I move in
their direction.”

EXAMPLE

Narrative paragraphs aim to tell about a
sequence of actions.

8. EXAMPLE
“John Payton, an old friend and brilliant Washington lawyer, told
me recently that UCLA Law School’s large entering class for fall
1997 would likely include not a single black , owing to general
retreat from affirmative action. This is the new and disturbing
national trend. In 1996 President Clinton signed a mean-spirited
welfare reform bill that promised to push millions of children,
black, brown, and white, into poverty. Month later, the President,
with much pomp and fanfare, called from a platform in
Philadelphia for mass volunteerism as an answer to our nation’s
growing social ills. Sharing the platform with the president, were
former presidents Carter and Bush. General Colin Powel
provided something of a black imprimatur for the idea of
substituting volunteerism for federal assistance to the poor.”
Defending the spirit by Randall Robinson

“A sentence is a group of words that make sense when
used together. A sentence expresses a complete thought. If
a sentence does not express a complete thought, it is an
incomplete sentence. A sentence begins with a capital letter
and ends with a period(.), an exclamation point(!), or a
question mark(?). Every sentence has a subject and a verb.
Sentences are the basic units of all writing. Below you will
see examples of incomplete sentences and complete
sentences.”
Clear writing: step by step by Diana Bonet
12. PERSUASIVE PARAGRAPHS
Persuasive paragraphs aim to get the reader
reaction, accepting or understanding the
writer’s position or proposal.
Their feature are:
They often require the gathering of facts
and research.
Usually, rhetorical devices are employed in
order to influence the reader's opinion.
13. EXAMPLE
“We believe that we can change the things around us in
accordance with our desires—we believe it because otherwise
we can see no favorable outcome. We do not think of the
outcome which generally comes to pass and is also favorable:
we do not succeed in changing things in accordance with our
desires, but gradually our desires change. The situation that
we hoped to change because it was intolerable becomes
unimportant to us. We have failed to surmount the obstacle, as
we were absolutely determined to do, but life has taken us
round it, led us beyond it, and then if we turn round to gaze
into the distance of the past, we can barely see it, so
imperceptible has it become.”
In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust
