Writing A Descriptive Essay About A Person
Writing an essay on the topic "Writing a Descriptive Essay About a Person" can be both
challenging and rewarding. The difficulty lies in the intricacies of capturing the essence of an
individual through words. It requires a careful selection of details, a keen observation of the
subject, and the ability to convey emotions and personality traits effectively.
The challenge begins with the need to strike a balance between objectivity and subjectivity.
While the essay should paint a vivid picture of the person being described, it is essential to
maintain a level of detachment and avoid excessive bias. Finding the right words to convey the
unique qualities and characteristics of the individual requires a deep understanding of language
and a nuanced approach to storytelling.
Moreover, writing a descriptive essay about a person involves more than just listing physical
attributes. It demands the exploration of the subject's thoughts, emotions, and experiences. This
requires a certain level of empathy and the ability to delve into the intricacies of human nature.
Crafting a compelling introduction that captivates the reader's attention and a conclusion that
leaves a lasting impression adds another layer of complexity. The essay should flow smoothly,
creating a seamless narrative that engages the reader from start to finish.
Despite the challenges, writing a descriptive essay about a person provides an opportunity for
personal expression and creativity. It allows the writer to showcase their unique perspective and
storytelling abilities. The process of carefully choosing words, constructing sentences, and
building a coherent narrative can be intellectually stimulating.
In conclusion, while writing a descriptive essay about a person may be difficult, it is a valuable
exercise in honing writing skills and expressing oneself artistically. It requires a delicate balance
of objectivity and subjectivity, a keen understanding of language, and the ability to delve into the
complexities of human nature.

Envision a world where nano sized robots can burrow themselves into your skin just
by touching something or perhaps explode within you on command. Consider
perchance, a world were humans have collective thoughts and can generate the
processing power of a super computer. Sounds like something out of an awesome
dream or a nightmare, depending on how you perceive it. These are just some of the
ideas that are presented in transhumanism. Transhumanism can be explained as the
belief that the human race can advance past its current physical and intellectual
confines through the use of technology (Bostrom, 2014). In the current world we live
in, we are limited by a number of factors, many of these include the scientific
limitations and the properties of physics. On the other side of the limitations, lay the
concepts of morality and ethical issues. Along with those concepts include how this
technology correlates to our current world. In the novel The Diamond Age by Neal
Stephenson, humans live alongside nanobots (and various other technology) in a
transhumanist world. In this advanced world, the ideas of morality and ethics are still
present within the human race. In many aspects, the morality and ethical issues that
humans encounter today are reencountered in this transhuman world. In the novel
The Diamond Age, Neal opens the story with the
The Next Kind Of Integration By Emily Balzelson Analysis
Millions of children, teenagers, young adults, and adults attend school every Monday
through Friday in the United States with the intent to learn and further their
knowledge of core subjects. They learn math, science, English, history, and countless
other subjects throughout the week of school. In history they learn about how for a
long time in American history women were not allowed to go to schooland were
forbidden get a higher educationfor even longer. They also learn that for much of
American history schools were separated by race. In The Next Kind of Integration
by Emily Bazelon, the author talks about how in 2008 the Supreme Court ruled in a
close decision that the racial integration efforts of two school districts was
unconstitutional. In When Bright Girls Decide That Math is a Waste of Time by
Susan Jacoby, Jacoby talks about how gender stereotypes limit girls and young
women from being proficient in math and science throughout their life. Even though
integrating different races, socioeconomic statuses, and even genders can be
difficult, in the long run it leads to better educated students and a better experience
in school. Segregation is often an issue that people see as an issue that plagued
America many decades ago but that is not true at all. In The Next Kind of
Integration the author Emily Bazelon talks about a Supreme Court case that talks
about a decision to not allowed schools to be segregated. The first sentence of the
article says, In June of

The condenser fan helps cool it. The refrigerant is then forced through a thin tube, or
capillary tube, and as it escapes this restraint and is sucked back into a gas again,
absorbing some heat from the food storage compartment while it does so. The
evaporator fan distributes the chilled air. In a self defrosting refrigerator/freezer
model, moisture condenses into frost on the cold evaporator coils. The frost melts
and drains away when the coils are warmed during the defrost cycle which is
initiated by a timer, and ended by the defrost limiter, before the frozen food melts.

thermostat turns the compressor on and off, and the temp control limits cold air

In general the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has set a general rule that allows
minor as young as 14 years of age to work. Of course there are limits to the amount
of hours worked. The military requires a minimum age of 17 with parents consent
to join. Wow a 17 year old can be allowed to carry and M16 A4 rifle and fight for his

old. Adam Silver is the National Basketball Associationcommissioner and he is
wanting to raise the age that player can enter the league from 19 to 20. Doing so
would stop many collegeplayers from leaving school after one year. He has been
quoted as saying I believe and continue to believe it will be in the best interest of the
league. I think that the extra year in college will be a benefit for these young men to
grow and develop as people and basketball players (Reyes, 2014).

they can and fill fight to have the age lowered to 18 at the next collective

What Is Mayo s Strategic Advantage Of Being The Best Of
Best
Mayo is determined to set a new standard in healthcare by eliminating waste and
improving efficacy. As the healthcare changed in the 1990s, Mayo began to approach
quality with increasing rigor, measuring more thoroughly the results of its efforts.
Though the organizational priority for Mayo was improvement and transformation,
the approach was patient centric which resulted in good financial outcomes.
However, Mayo wanted to provide hope for the patients and help staff provide
excellence in all they do. Mayo s strategic advantage of being the best of best was

Cerebellum Vs Cerebrum Research Paper
The cerebrum is the largest portion of the human brain. It takes up about 4/5 of the
weight of the brain and has what is described as a wrinkled cortex. Wrinkled cortex
increases the surface area of which increases the number of neurons. This makes
human brain to be more efficient than other vertebrates ( Cerebrumvs Cerebellum,
n.d.). The cerebrum in divided by the cerebral fissure, which separates it into two
hemispheres, the left and right which is being further discussed by a fellow

hemispheres can also be divided into four lobes which we know as the frontal,
parietal, temporal, and occiptal lobes. The frontal lobehelps aids us with reasoning,

The Flipped Classroom Model Of Instruction
The use of the flipped classroom model of instruction is gaining attention among
instructors and professors at the college and university level (Aronson, Arfstrom,
Tam, 2013). Currently, the amount of rigorous, empirical research on the
effectiveness of the Flipped Learning model is limited, but growing. As a relatively
new model of instruction, it has been found to have a positive impact on important
student outcomes, including achievement and engagement (Ferreri O Connor, 2013).
Flipped classroom is another model of learner centered teaching. A flipped classroom
is a pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning
space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed...

Their findings presented the results of a large, Architectural Engineering course with
an enrollment of 95, approximately 80 percent were male, with less than 10 percent
minority representation. The normal lecture process consisted of two, 50 minute
lecture periods and one, 110 minute practicum, weekly. Instead of using this
approach, the instructor applied the flipped classroom approach. The instructor
posted video records of lecture materials to iTunesU and students viewed the lectures
and supplemental content prior to the class. This allowed the students to be exposed
to theory based content outside of class time. Because of this approach, there was
more time for in class problem solving and increased teacher student interaction. At
end of the course, assessment data was collected to examine students use of the video
lectures and perceptions of the flipped classroom. A total of 77 students completed
the Course Survey 1, and provided consent for their data to be used for research
purposes. The majority of the students (74%) felt that the flipped classes were helpful
to their understanding of the concepts. An additional 24 percent felt that the flipped
classes were somewhat helpful. A total of 75.3 percent of the students agreed, or
strongly agreed, that the additional time spent problem solving in class improved
their understanding of the estimating methods. Students perceived the method of
teaching as more effective than lecturing,
World Hunger Problems
Currently, 1 billion people suffer from hunger, yet, about 1.5 billion adults are
overweight. Currently, the quantity of food produced globally is more than
enough to feed the global population, however, the increased food prices, uneven
distribution of food around the globe, and the quality of food production practices
correlates with the threatening factors that catalyze human induced climate
change. Not to mention the population is expected to rise to 9 billion by 2050
which will augment the demand for food production. Solving the issue of world
hunger is a complex algorithm involving economic, psychological, and
environmental factors. In order to formulate a plan on how to effectively solve the
modern crises of world hunger the factors must be addressed and analyzed.
Chiefly, modern day farming can sometimes be described as a double edged
sword. Using chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides have been
normalized in mass production of food in the last few decades in order protect
crops from pests to maximize the quantity farmers are able to produce, however,
the chemicals do not always kill every pest and the pests who survive live on to
pass their traits onto their offspring and create super plants that can withstand these
chemicals. This chain of events results in a failed crop owned by a soon to be
bankrupt farmer who is unable to pay back the big name company for the expensive
chemicals. Not only do these chemicals cause an economic problem for

Vonnegut Cat s Cradle Analysis
Vonnegut s classic satire Cat s Cradle revolves around a journalist named Jonah (as
in Jonah and the whale ), writing a book about the day the first atomic bomb was
dropped. In trying to interview the three children of the bomb s inventor, Felix
Hoenikker, he is led to the impoverished island of San Lorenzo. It is here that Jonah
becomes aware of the outlawed religion Bokononism. Religion (Christianity and
Bokononism) proves to be a central element of Cat s Cradle. Vonnegut is highly
critical of religion, suggesting through character interactions with both Christianity
and Bokononism, that religion is a false form of human connection at best and at
worst a vehicle through which followers cleanse themselves of responsibility for the
world.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Throughout the novel, Christianity is satirized, as when Miss Faust recounts to
Jonah her discussion with Dr. Hoenikker: Dr. Hoenikker asks her if she can tell
him anything completely true, to which she responds God is love (55). Hoenikker
questions her further, but she just repeats the mantra. Vonnegut implies through
Miss Faust s response that she, like so many others, has little understanding of God
or love. Vonnegut christian reliance on abstract concepts like God for stability and
motivation to continue living. This criticism is consistent throughout the novel,
another example being when Hazel, the same woman obsessed with her status as a
Hoosier, declares I m so glad (San Lorenzo s) a Christian country...or I d be a little
scared, (137). That Hazel appraises an entire population based on their country s
religious stance would be humorous in its extremity were it not for that people
behave this way in reality. Hazel clearly craves human connection based on her
fixation with Indianans and insistence that Jonah call her Mom , but she searches for
connection in the superficial. In this instance Vonnegut includes her religion as part
of her delusion of connection, insisting religion is not a valid vehicle for connection,
particularly Hazel s good versus evil concept of
Yosemite Valley Research Paper
Geology of the Valley
Yosemite Valley is full of stunning and breathtaking sights. However, millions of
years of geologic changes have occurred to make Yosemite Valley what it is today.
Even from the initial formation of California, Yosemite has been evolving. Each part
of the geologic history of Yosemite plays a very significant role, because even if one
small thing did not occur, then the Yosemite that we know today would not be
familiar to us.
The beginning of Yosemite s geologic historic was about 500 million years ago.

The Bourne Identity Essay
The Bourne Identity
In this essay, I compared the book, The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum and the
film of the same name, directed by Doug Liman. The main character Jason Bourne
was played by Matt Damon and Marie St. Jacques is played by Franka Potente. The
book and movie were extremely different from each other. The book had more
detail of the overall story, easier to comprehend and had character build up. While
the movie seemed to only be interested in the action. I thought the book to be more
fulfilling in its story and the movie to be predictable and tedious (considering I fell
asleep). It didn t take long to notice they were completely different. I wasn t prepared
for the movie to be so off from the book ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Washburn studied and made Jason Bourne wait until he thought he was fit to go out
into the world, for instance he made him go on a fishing trip with the hardest
fishing crew around to prove his was ready. As always, Jason Bourne proved he
was ready for anything. Geoffrey Washburn was never seen or mentioned in the
movie which like I said was a great disappointment, because that was the upbringing
of Jason Bourne. He is partly responsible to creating the new Jason Bourne. He is
also the a great help to Jason Bourne while he tries to find out who he was, and
what he was. Another thing that is in the book, is the character Marie St. Jacques
who was first Bourne s hostage. Who was in Swedish women working for the
Canadian government. In the book she was very intelligent and sharp. She was
able to escape from Bourne and then was caught by the cops. She was used by the
cops to find Jason and once they found him, they tried to kill her. Though to her
surprise Bourne had been following her and saved her. She then felt like she had to
be by his side and help him find his identity and then quickly fell in love with him.
None of what I said above happened in the film. In the film She was bribed into
helping Bourne and was just a petty girl that needed cash to stay in Sweden. She liked

The s Contingency Model Has Lost Its Relevancy I Today s...
Gusmond, I agree with you that Fiedler s Contingency Model has lost its relevancy
I today s work environment. (Robbins, Judge, and Campbell, 2009). Fiedler
believing that our natural leadership style is fixed and the most effective way to
handle situations is to change the leader (Fiedler, 1967) would create a constant
revolving door at most businesses today, in my opinion. In lesson 6 Leadership, we
read that Fiedler proposed a model whereby leaders are classified in terms of
whether they were more task oriented or relationship oriented. With the study of
organizational behavior expanding, I would tend to think as a society we re much
more relationship oriented today than ever before. The value placed highly by
generational employees is probably more different than it s ever been before as well.
If you re managing a group of young parents, the need for a work home balance
would be much greater than if you were managing a group of older employees who
didn t have lots of time commitments and various directions to be pulled in when
the work day was done. As an effective leader, being cognizant and having the
maturity to gauge what your group is saying, either directly or indirectly, and
being flexible enough to make the appropriate changes within your leadership style
would be paramount for success today. Otherwise you d be looking for a new job
more often than you d actually be leading. For those who serve well as deacons gain

Religion Is An Organized System Of Worship
Faith is a belief or a prediction of the future while religion is an organized system
of worship followed by a group of people (Pyle 1). While both sound mostly
superstitious, they are very necessary for the running of the daily human lives.
Humans, for the fear of the unpredictable future, often come up with myths that they
hope will keep them safe. It serves them well, as it helps them carry on with their
daily activities with reduced fear and anxiety. However, the problems begin when
they think that everyone one else must follow their faith. With their superiority in
numbers or other forms of power such as firearms, they might be tempted to follow
other minor and weaker groupings to be part of them or perish. In this way, religion
and faith have been used to steal wealth from weaker kingdoms and make slaves out
of previously free humans.
One significant positive impact that has been created by religion is the unification
of people from various cultures through one faith. However, this has also created a
lot of trouble as some cultures have been swallowed up by others. Religions have
given us great timeless artistic masterpieces and musical composition for the use of
worship by the masses.
A common misconception regarding faith and religion is that other people have to
believe what one believes. The misconception convinces the believers that only their
religion is the right one, and other people should follow it without question. Such
indoctrination has led to inter and
Essay about Ben Franklin
Ben Franklin
Ben Franklin is one of the most dynamic figures in the history of America. As a
philosopher, scientist, writer, inventor, diplomat, and more he had far reaching effects
on America and the world both in his time and today. Franklin was one of the first
people to recognize himself as American and distinguish the people of the new nation
as something more than British colonists. As an American, Franklin sought to
improve the country through the creation of institutions and the development of
personal moral and financial success for its citizens.

In this way, he sees religion not as an abstract or other worldly social concept but as
a function of society for its utility and usefulness. He does believe in G d and
thanks him for all that he has received but, similar to Frederick Douglass, is aware of
the falsehoods being taught in mainstream religion. For instance, he describes a local
ministers sermons as their aim seeming to be rather to make us Presbyterians than
good citizens. Although he did not believe in any one religion, he did feel that they
were good for the community and actively supported the Presbyterian minister,
Jewish temples, and other groups.
2.) Industry/Self Improvement: Franklin often can be seen assuming that any
effort will be successful if the proper amount of hard work is applied to it. He was,
however, aware that he had been very lucky and that few efforts would reach
fruition without some effects of luck. It is interesting to see how at every turn
Franklin had some sort of system or method laid out, followed it step by step, and
achieved the intended result. Many people today can think of what it would take to
be successful at something (say a sport or skill) but few know so thoroughly the
correct path to take and actually walk down it to its end. We observe this ability even
in his childhood. At the time, these attitudes toward

The topic of the Trojan War has been analyzed, criticized, and researched for
millennia. Many archeologists have spent decades trying to unveil the truth of the
Trojan War. In 1894, the University of Texas was presented with the opportunity to

Ottoman Empire, believed it was imperative that the University of Texas capitalize
on this opportunity as he felt the site was teeming with academic possibilities. The

Alexander Watkins Terrell, having been offered a chance to obtain the site thought to
be Troy, proposed that the University of Texas purchase the land alongside its
antiquities. He believed that this would have furthered the success of the University
and would offer for an attraction that would have proven beneficial for the
University. Because the University did not accept the proposal, it missed out on a
plethora of possibilities. The University, on a microscale, missed the chance to
present its archeological department with a valuable tool. However, on a larger scale,
the University missed the opportunity to lead archeologists around the world in the
search for the truth of the legendary city of Troy. I believe had the University listened
to Terrell, the knowledge of ancient Greco Roman civilization, especially pertaining
to Troy, would be exponentially higher than modern archeologists have

The complaint, filed with the National Labor Relations Board, alleges that Wal Mart
violated federal labor law by bribing employees to report on co workers who favored
a union. (www.washingtonpost.com). But Wal Mart denied the charges that were
brought against the company. Thus, Wal Mart is wrong by bribing employees for it
encourages dishonest behavior. If Wal Mart wants to avoid a hearing or a lawsuit in
this situation, they need to post notices saying the retailer will not oppose employees
talking to union representatives. In addition, if Wal Mart takes more seriously the
employees complaints, it might encourage them not to unionize.
Unfair Treatment of Employees:
Wal Mart has been accused of discriminating against women. Women had been
denied training and promotion opportunities that are offered to men. In addition
women are underpaid. That is, men are paid more than women. According to
Hoover s handbook of American business, in June 2001 a group of six current and
former female Wal Mart employees filed a sex discriminationlawsuit (seeking to
represent up to 500,000 current and former Wal Mart workers) against the
company. (Hoover s Handbook, pg.907) The suit was filed because Wal Mart failed
to provide equal employment for women. In fact, there are over 70 percent of
women working at Wal Mart, but only a small amount of those women are managers.

The World Of Architecture And Design
Meaningful space, what is its relevance in the world of architecture and design?
A meaningful space originates from the hierarchy of form rather than aesthetic
emotion. Materials we use now are for strength not for meaningful form, spaces
haven t found position of order, integration is a way of nature and adjoining servant
spaces identifies the essence of space. (A selection of Architectural Manifestos, n.d)
Le Corbusier believed architecture, sculpture and painting are dependent on space, as
he discussed in his manifesto Ineffable Space in 1948. (Gargiani Roberto, Rosellini
Anna 2011) Louis Kahn, on the other hand, had a different view. In 1965 69 in his
writing of Architecture is the thoughtful making of spaces Kahn suggests that
meaningful form characterises space. (A selection of Architectural Manifestos n.d)
Le Corbusier, one of the pioneers for modern architecture and Kahn, one of the most
influential architects from the 20th Century, had two very differing interpretations of
what creates a significant space. Both Architects had great influence on the world of
architecture and design, and still their concepts are being discussed and stimulate
design today. (Oxford University Press n.d)
Kahn states that the materials we now use in architecture are known for their
strength, not their meaningful use of form. The use of steel and concrete confront us;
their characteristics must be in harmony with the spaces that want to be and evoke
what spaces can be. A space in

Self Antigen Essay
Due to the absence of self antigen presentation in the thymus [36], or the low affinity
of T cells for self antigens [37], autoreactive T cells escape sometimes from thymic
negative selection.
To complete the efficacy of central tolerance, the immune system developed many
tools to neutralize these cells and avoid autoimmune diseases. These mechanisms are
either passive, concerning antigen ignorance, T cell anergy or apoptosis induction
and phenotypic skewing, or active when mediated by regulatory cells [38].
Antigen ignorance allows autoreactive T cells to persist as functional circulating T
cells while never primed by any antigen [39]. Indeed, antigens can be masked by
anatomical barriers like lens proteins, spermatozoids, or nervous ... Show more

Without CD28/
CD80 CD86 engagement, interactions between TCRs and alloantigens induce the
anergy of T cells. CTLA 4 (CD152) has a large structural homology with CD28 and
interacts with CD80
CD86 with better affinity than CD28 molecule and functions as a negative regulator
of T cell activation [56]. The expression of these two molecules regulates the balance
between activation and inhibition of T cells and allows the control of an over
reaction of the immune system leading to inflammation or autoimmunity [57].
Similarly, the expression of Programmed
Death 1 (PD 1) after antigenic stimulation and interaction with its ligand PDL 1
reduces IL 2 synthesis and induces T cell anergy [58]. Another important co

During their removes, Mary becomes too weak to walk any longer, and the Indians,
like inhuman creatures, laugh and rejoice to see it. They do nothing to provide for
her comfort during their long journeys through the rough landscape. Her only refuge
is to take comfort in her prayer and hope that God will help her through these hard
times. After the first several days, Mary develops a dependency upon the Indians,
and begins to get used to their means of living.
During their travels in the wilderness, Mary and the Indians must conserve every
part of nature that they possibly can in order to provide a sufficient amount of
food for the amount of people traveling in their group. Mary finds herself resorting
to sources of food which she would never have considered in her normal life. In
order to survive, she must consume the filthy trash that the Indians eat, and at her
hungriest moments even finds it pleasant and savory to [her] taste. Although the
Indians made sure to feed Mary and keep her alive and functional, they showed no
respect to her Christian rituals. When she asks if she can rest on the Sabbath day,
they answer her that if she does not work they will break her face. (130) Their
disapproving attitude towards Christianity makes Mary wonder how God preserves

Dbq Air Pollution History
Smog and air pollution have been impacting the lives of Americans since the
industrial age during the nineteenth century, when necessity to use coal was critical
for manufacturing in city factories. The United States government had little to no
progress in enacting laws to developing better ways to target the air pollution. Smog
in urban cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Cincinnati exceeded
levels that proved to damage health of millions of people. For approximately sixty
seven years local governments took it upon themselves to execute various laws to
establish healthier living standards. From 1881 to 1947, five major cities in the
United States proposed ideas to incentivize leaders to promote clean air to be a non
negotiable aspect of everyday living. In 1881, Chicago and Cincinnati were the first
to implement smoke control ordinances to tackle social issues which spurred
advancements in science and technology. These first local laws influenced the early
development of emission science where scientists and educated professionals were
able to quantify the amount of smoke... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This was the first declaration by federal government identifying that it was the rights
of states and local governments to be responsible for controlling air pollution. The

the Air Pollution Act, but ironically, the federal government was not in any form
engaging in air pollution clean up or prosecuting those responsible for pollution. This
act did not reduce any of the smog in the atmosphere, nor did it make it easier for
states with low funding to tackle their own city s air pollution problems. The unseen
long term benefits of this act were the federal research funds implemented to conduct
air pollution research which eventually structured the Clean Air Act of

The HIPC Initiative
By HSvB
The Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) are a group of 38 developing countries
with high levels of poverty and debt overhang which are eligible for special assistance
from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank . The HIPC
Initiative was initiated by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bankin
1996. In 2001 Ghana declared itself as heavily indebted poor country, according to
the then president John Agyekum Kuffour, the decision of Ghana to be part of this
initiative was mainly because of the poor state of the economy. As a result of this
the nation was expected to receive a total of 253 million dollars of IMF and the
World Bank to help relieve the country from various debts and to invest the rest in
infrastructure, basic education, health facilities, water and sanitation. As a result of
the HIPC initiative there were some positive change in the lives of the people in
terms of healthcare and some aspects of basic education. There was an introduction
of free healthcare to all Ghanaian citizens in the country and the already existing
free basic education was enhanced. However the prices of goods and services
increased by the day. The rate of unemployment shot up drastically as many people
were losing their jobs both in the public and private sector, there was constant
depreciation of the currency and frequent sales of state owned property.

How Does Sylvia Plath Use Humor
Death is Funny: Sylvia Plath s Use of Humor in Lady Lazarus Humor and Sylvia
Plath are words not generally heard in the same sentence. Although her poetry is
widely read, we as a society tend to associate her writing with the inherent darkness
in her words, and we tend to ignore everything else, particularly with regards to the
poetryshe wrote near the end of her life. The morbidity in her writing is most
definitely there, but it is often expressed using humor. I will be examining Plath s
poem Lady Lazarus, and in particular the way that Plath uses humor throughout the
poem through her use of sarcasm, hyperbole and absurd comparisons, rhyme, and
circus imagery. I will also be looking at the possible reasons why Plath uses humor
throughout Lady Lazarus, and what purpose it serves as a literary device. Plath s
strong use of sarcasm is present in Lady Lazarus from the very first lines of the
poem; Plath writes: I have done it again/One year in every ten/I manage it (Plath, 1
3). This opening stanzais very tongue in cheek, and through the seemingly
nondescript, nonchalant way she begins the poem, it sets up the first stanza as a
foil for the next stanza, which begins: A sort of walking miracle, my skin/Bright as
a Nazi lampshade, (4 5). The contrast between the content of the first and second
stanzas gives the first stanza a very sarcastic tone. It sets up the concept that death is
no big deal to Plath; she s died every ten years. The opening line, I have done
Relational Model Of Church Planting
If writing about churches starting churches were a chemistry experiment, relational
models of church planting would be the catalyst that causes the experiment to boil
over.
Relational models focus on sending Christians into their communities to gather and
disciple people who are not involved in churches. If enough people are gathered, new
congregations may form. While the general idea may sound intriguing, the specific
models inspire frustration and fear for numerous leaders of established churches.

The dangers of cigarette smoke does not end with the smoker. In fact, there are two
separate types of exposure; second and third hand. Secondhand exposure occurs when
someone else breaths in air released from the cigarette.
Since 1964 approximately 2.5 million non smokers have died from problems
associated with secondhand smoke. Studies have shown that secondhand smoke
affects over a million children everyday. Some of the dangers associated with this

Juvenile Crimes Face Harsh Punishments
There are serious flaws with the way the US judicial system prosecutes juveniles.
Although there is a juvenile court system in place to try youth offenders, the way it is
being implemented is different between each state. In addition, some states even go
further and try youth offenders, depending on the crimethey committed, in an adult
criminal court. In recent years, juvenile crimes face harsh punishments in the US,
and the number of juvenile offenders sent to youth courts is decreasing, based on
the data ( The Sentencing Project Juvenile Justice, 2015). This decline of cases
being sent to the juvenile courts indicates that more cases of youth crime are being
transferred to adult courts. Trying a child as an adult contradicts to UN s rights of
the child as listed on FACT SHEET: A summary of the rights under the Convention
on the Rights of the Child (p.1 4), which shows that by transferring a child to an adult
correction facility, we are denying that child of his/her rights.
A child has a limited understanding of how the world functions. It is difficult for a
child to distinguish right from wrong. Therefore, it would be common sense to try a
child, under the age of 18, differently than an adult, with some exceptions being
made to frequent offenders and very serious crimes. But that is not the way it is
being implemented in the US. There are three ways a youth offender can be
transferred from a juvenile court to an adult court in the US. Brink (2004) lists the

Adult Attachment Styles
Attachment research has predominately thought of attachment as a single personality
trait constant across relationships. Early research on adult attachment was based on
the thought that individual differences were categorical and that people fell into one

research, it is now challenged by the dimensional model of adult attachment styles.
The current study uses modern taxometric methods to compare the two models to see
if adults have a categorical attachment style or a dimensional attachment style. The

then high schoolsports. Some individuals play both competitive leagues and high
school sports at the same time. These sports are either individual sports like
swimming, to group activities like football, baseball, and lacrosse. Statistics show
that kids start sports between the ages of 6 and 7 years old. In 2008, 30% of
youths between the ages of 6 12 were active in organized sports, by 2015, the

groups. Based on a current study from the NCAA recruiting facts, only 2 % of high
school athletes are awarded scholarships.. These athletes work hard during their four
years of high school maintaining their grades in order to play in the hopes that they
get selected to play in college. Some of these students need a scholarship in order to
attend college, because they can t afford it. The scholarships to colleges, usually
cover full tuition and fees, room and board, and books. According to Lauren

Functionalist is not only concerning the text, but it is also interested in the role that
context play in the process of meaning making. So, there are gradual movements from
text to context, from form to function, from semantics to pragmatics and from logic
to rhetoric. In Halliday in Routledge (2014:46), Halliday observes that language has
tripartite function which can be broken down into three interconnecting
metafunctions . They are ideational (to express ideas and experience (clause as
representation)), interpersonal (to mediate in the establishment of social
relationship(clause as exchange)), textual (to provide the formal properties of
language(clause as message)). These three metafunctions are good when these are
used all of the in any study of text. Cohesion is the part of textual metafunction which
refers to the way in which sentences are linked together in order to make sense. There
are several cohesion devices which are able to tie together semantically such as

To avoid steps between the different levels, the edges will be rounded. Therefore a

However, a less accuracy of values less than five microns must not be forgotten.
Higher resolutions till one micrometre are also possible, but the number of scanned

Argumentative Essay On Water Bottles
Water Bottles Since the 1990 s Americans are drinking less soft drinks and are now
consuming more bottled water than ever. Currently, Americans are drinking over
50% more bottled water than they did in 2001 (theatlantic.com). A reason for this
could be that more Americans are aware of the health issues soft drinks create.
Although the resurgence and emphasis on a healthier society is a positive aspect of
the popularity of water bottles, it does also bring negative aspects. For example, 80
million bottles of water are sold daily in the US daily which means that 80 million
plastic bottles need to be disposed. Recycling is what many people believe combats
the issue of disposing of so many water bottles but only 20% of those plastic
bottles actually get recycled leaving the other 80% to end up in the ocean or even a
landfill. This harms the environment, as landfills tend to remove the oxygen from
the ground and release methane, a greenhouse gas, harming the ozone layer. A
depleting ozone layer causes global warming, the ice caps to melt, and an increased
risk in skin cancer. As for the oceans, the plastic bottles degrade then conjoin to
create plastic masses as large as the state of Texas. This harms the coral reef and not
only pollutes the ocean but also people s food supply as many fish ingest the plastic
then people ingests the fish. Although water bottles harm the environment, there are
many positives of having bottled water. For example, many Americans work around
40 hours a week with an average commute lasting 26 minutes
(thewahsingtonpost.com). This creates a need for an on the go drink and bottled
water is an affordable healthy choice. Also in April of 2014, the Flint Water crisis
began and is continuing today. The citizens of Flint cannot drink the water in their
faucets and humans need to drink water to survive. Many of the citizens in Flint,
Michigan are of lower socioeconomic standing and cannot afford to move out of the
city as they do not have the income to purchase a new home and there is no resell
value in their house as they do not even have water. This means that those people
must rely on bottled water in order to have clean drinking water. Plastic bottles
Winter Symbolism In Literature Essay
When you think of winter what do you usually think about? I think about the
freezing temperatures, the ice, and the snow. However, in literature winter can be
symbolic of many things. The dark, sadness, old age, and death are just some of the
things winter can symbolize in literature. The songs California dreamin by the
Mamas and Papas and A hazy shade of winterby Simon and Garfunkel are both about
winter but mean very different things. Foster s How to Read Literature Like a
Professor will also be referenced in order to help show the meanings of these
pieces. California dreaming is a very simple and straightforward song;. It has three
short verses and a chorus that repeats a couple of times. California dreamin on such
a winter s day is repeated throughout the song. This is the main essence of the song.
The narrator is telling us that he likes the warm and sunny days of California more
than the cold harsh winter. Throughout this song we learn of other things that the
narrator dislikes which are gray skies and brown leaves. These signify the arrival
of winter which saddens the narrator. There s also a deeper meaning that can be
figured out with the help of Foster s work. In his book he tells us that the cold
often can symbolize sadness and that warm often symbolizes happiness. One of the
many possible meanings that the mamas and papas could be trying to convey is
that it isn t easy to be happy. In the song the narrator arrives at a church and is
going to stay. Even though he isn t very happy he would rather be in the church
than in the cold as shown in the next verse where he starts to complain about the
cold again. We can learn from this message to be thankful for what we have even
though it isn t what we want because it could always be worse. In A Hazy Shade of
Winter by Simon and Garfunkel the narrator sends a clear message that he does not
like the arrival of winter. When you hear the song you can tellhow much he doesn t
like the winter anytime anything related to it is said. His voice becomes low, dull
and lifeless. The way he sings tries to makes you associate sadness with the winter.
To the narrator the winter may be sad because it is cold but if we look deeper into the
song we

Background of China Higher Education Expansion
Since the Opening up policy and economic reform from 1978, China has been in
great demand of high level intellectuals to build the country, and has witnessed a
modest expansion in higher education student admission and a steady increase in set
up of higher educational institutions. However, with the rapid development of China
s economy and society, the Chinese government had made a policy in 1999 to reform
its higher education systems with two key aims, expanding higher education and
building world class universities. Thereafter, the number of student intake in higher
education has experienced a blow out increase, from 1.1 million in 1998 to 6.75
million in 2011, up six times in enrollment. Furthermore, there has been a dramatic
increase in establishment of new educational institutions, a large number of
secondary and private colleges included. However, the number of secondary
vocational schools has seen a significant decline since 1999. According to Zhang and

knowledge base on which the nursemay develop a plan of care. As scaffolding, it
allows the nurse to create the customized care plan required by each unique client.
For the student nurse, the nursing process offers an organized framework that guides
the development of clinical reasoning and clinical judgment abilities. The Nursing
Process, Clinical Reasoning Clinical Judgment According to study authors
Papathanasiou, Kleisiaris, Fradelos, Kakou, and Kourkouta (2014), Critical thinking

The use of evaluative measures enables the nurse to determine the success or failure
of the interventions based on whether the desired outcomes have been met. Critical
reasoning allows the nurse to select the most appropriate evaluative measures, and
helps guide the process of care plan revision, if necessary. Nurses apply critical
thinking as they mature, acquire knowledge and experiences, and examine their
beliefs under new evidence (Papathanasiou et al., 2014, p. 284). By evaluating the
success of the nursing process, the nursing student gains critical
War Of The Worlds Comparison
War of the Worlds is a 2005 fiction disaster film directed by Steven Spielberg. It is
based on the novel by H.G Wells and set in New Jersey, by the terrestrial tripods
which are eliminating people or holding them captive to control the universe. This
film explores the theme of disaster through the perspective of a single and divorced
father Ray and his estranged children. Similarly, the novella Hiroshimawritten by
Laurence Yep, tells the story from the perspective of 12 years old, Sachi from
Hiroshima, Japan. The author explains what happens when Americans releases an
atomic bomb in Hiroshima, aftermath USA helps the families of Hiroshima, and
they are known as Hiroshima Maidens, and how can they start a fresh new life. This
novella is... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
One of the texts demonstrates the impact of a disaster on the main protagonists
Ray and his children are fighting to survive from the invasion. Whereas, in the
novella Hiroshima , the two most important female protagonists Sachi and Riko
are fighting to survive during World War two and the impending bombing/impact
of an atomic bomb. The American bombers release the atomic bomb on Hiroshima
in Japan during World War 2; Americans thought that it would make Japan stop
fighting because it will cause so much damage to buildings and up to 120,000
people will die on that Hiroshima Bombing. This clearly explains why Americans
bombed in Hiroshima because they desire to take revenge on Japan. The atomic
bomb can cause many peoples deaths and also it can cause damage to Hiroshima.
The terrestrial tripods which are eliminating people or holding them captive to
control the universe, in New Jersey, where the main protagonists live. When the
tripods started attacking humans, Ray wanted his children to be safe, so he decides
to leave his town and go to meet his wife in Boston. However, in the film, the main
characters are fighting to survive the attack by moving towns, but in the novella, the
main characters are fighting to survive the war and the effect of the atomic bomb as it
can cause many deaths. Overall, both texts demonstrate the theme of disaster as the
main characters in the texts are fighting for survival in
Compare And Contrast Tom Brady And Peyton Manning
Tom Brady and Peyton Manning have become household names in the past decade
or so, and for good reason. Both of these quarterbacks have shown game in and
game out that they are among the best to ever play. Anyone that knows the
slightest bit about American football will know exactly what someone means
when they talk about these two in the Hall of Fame discussion. So what makes
these two quarterbacks different? Well, there is not much. Throughout their
storied careers, they have had to overcome hardships, which only reiterates the
point of their G.O.A.T. (Greatest of all time) status. These players are similar in
their play style and records, but are different due to the adversity and hardships
each player has had to overcome. The first and arguably most obvious similarity
between these two players is that they are two of the greatest quarterbacks to ever
play the position. Regardless if you ask someone that dislikes either of these two,
they will most likely agree that Brady and Manning have become the face of the
sport. When they take the field, they are unquestioned leaders and will always give
whatever it takes to push the team to success. Another glaring similarity between
these two quarterbacks is their athleticism and play style. Neither of these players
were gifted with speed. However, they more than make up for their lack of agility
with their throws. Their understanding of the game and the other team s defense
allows them to make throws that would look close to
The Godfather Is A 1972 American Crime Drama Directed
By...
The Godfather is a 1972 American crime drama directed by Francis Coppola based
on the 1969 novel by Mario Puzo. The film stars Marlin Brando and Al Pacino as
the leaders of a powerful family business of crime. The story is centred on Michael
Corleone, and how he grows from a young man wanting nothing to do with the
family business to a ruthless Don who will stop at nothing to exact his revenge. The
movie grossed around 286 million dollars and is touted as one of the most successful
films of all time, and in 1990 it was selected for preservation in the United States Film
Registry. The film portrays many different character stereotypes commonly used in
the Crime genre, and this helps to allow the viewer to identify with the characters
better, as they already have an understanding of what their intentions are.
Michael Corleone is the youngest son of Don Vito Corleone and, despite his families
criminal background, he doesn t want anything to do with his father s bussiness. He
can be considered the main protagonist of the story, however he fits under the
character stereotype of the Villain, in accordance with the stock characters stated by
narrative theorist Vladimir Propp. Michael is a returned war hero and is first
introduced attending his sister Connie s wedding with his girlfriend, Kay. Much of
Michael character is introduced to the viewer in this scene, primarily his disinterest in
the family business. When he is talking with Kay about Johnny Fontaine, and what his
Critical Analysis On Critical Thinking
Critical Self Reflection Essay
Critical thinking has been defined as the ability to be a disciplined thinker by
using clear, rational, open minded, and informed by evidence. Critical thinking is a
skill that takes years of practice to master. In this essay I will reflect on my
personal stage of critical thinking and what strengths and weaknesses I currently
have. This personal reflection will include what challenges I will face to advance
my critical thinking skills and what requirements a critical thinker must have. I will
also go into detail what a fair minded thinker is and how this class can help to
prepare me for the real world and the challenges a fair minded thinker can face.
What does Critical Thinking mean to me?
When I think of critical thinking and how I would define it, the simplest definition
is having the ability to solve or argue and issue by using unbiased, evidenced backed
ideas. In any profession, a person must have the ability to solve problems and work
with others. Having a biased opinion and not including other s ideas and opinions into
your own thought forces you to not have an open mind and limits expanded
knowledge. In my career I have had to engage in multiple interviews. One of the
things I found interesting in all of them was the focus on individuals ability to use
critical thinking to solve complex, challenging issues. Many of the questions focused
on past experiences or situations where the individual used their critical thinking
skills to solve
Assess the Usefulness of Social Action Theories in the...
Social action theories are known as micro theories which take a bottom up approach
to studying society; they look at how individuals within society interact with each
other. There are many forms of social action theories, the main ones being symbolic
interactionism, phenomenology and ethnomethodology. They are all based on the
work of Max Weber, a sociologist, who acknowledged that structural factors can
shape our behaviour but individuals do have reasons for their actions. He used this to
explain why people behave in the way in which they do within society. Weber saw
four types of actions which are commonly committed within society; rational, this
includes logical plans which are used to achieve goals, traditional customary
behaviour,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This therefore leaves many sociologists to question whether Blumer s principles
can be used to study society. Labelling theory has also been used to apply the
interactionist theory to society; the theory, like Mead, emphasises the importance
of symbols and situations in which they are used. The main interactionist concepts
are the definition of the situation if we believe in something then it could affect the
way in which we behave. The looking glass self this was created by Cooley who
argues that we see ourselves in a way in which we think others see us. These
concepts have been useful in explaining why people act in certain ways in certain
situations; therefore, the labelling theory is effective in the study of society. Overall,
in conclusion, there are many different social action theories which can be used in
the study of society, however, not all of them can be applied to all
The Ford Mustang Essays
A highly popular muscle and sports car, the Ford Mustang functions as a daily
driver, weekend warrior, and a show winning work of mechanical art. Whether
someone just needs a basic transportation to get from point A to point B, an eight
second quarter mile beast, or a show stopping work of power and beauty, Ford has
produced a Mustang for every need. The Mustang got its name from the World War
II P 51 Mustang fighter plane (Harris). The five generations evolved each year
model until, in response to the 1971 1973 models, Ford returned the car to its
original size and concept in 1974 (Bowling). The first generation of the Mustangs
appeared in 1964 and lasted through 1973. On March 9, 1964,... Show more content

Furthermore, this car interests me because at the price one could completely
personalize his or her dream Mustang for only $2,320. Ford would sell close to
417,000 Mustangs within the first year (Tucker). In August 1964, Carol Shelby
approached Lee Daocca, President of Fomoco at the time. Shelby had a vision to
create a high performance Mustang and Shelby wanted a car that could hold its
own both on and off the track. Once Shelby received approval to move forward on
the project, he created a fastback 2+2 Mustang (Kelly). This model Mustang only
had front bucket seats and a console but no back seat, which earned it the name
fastback 2+2. This model mustang came equipped with a four speed manual
transmission for more torque, one of the fastest cars of its day. The 2+2 fastback
Mustang remains my favorite model Mustang of this year because it had a sleeker,
aerodynamic design, and featured a larger engine, the 289 cu in, which produced a
whopping 306 horsepower (Tucker1). The official name for this 2+2 fastback
Mustang was the Shelby GT 350: Ford named it this for street purposes (Kelly). In
the fall of 1964, Ford included an entirely new Mustang engine lineup and the
addition of the GT group. The 200 cu in six cylinder engine replaced the 170 cu in
six cylinder engine, thus increasing the six cylinder s performance from 101
horsepower to 120 horsepower. The 289 cu in replaced the 260 cu
The September 11, 2001 Attacks
The September 11, 2001 attacks were a series of four terrorist attacks. These
attacks were launched by the Islamic terrorist group al Queda. But let me start
from the beginning. On September 11, 2001 starting at 8:46 a.m. ending at 10:28
a.m. in New York City and Washington D.C. terrorist by the Islamic group al Queda
four passenger airliners were hijacked. This was done by the 19 al Queda terrorists
so they could be flown into buildings in suicide attacks. Two of these planes, from
Americana Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the
North and South towers, of the World Trade Centercomplex in New York City.
Within two hours, both towers collapsed with a lot of debri and the fires caused a
lot of buildings to collapse in the WTC. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77
was crashed into the Pentagon which is the headquarters of the United Sates
Department of Defense. The fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, was targeted
at D.C., But crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after its passengers
tried to overcome the hijackers. In all 3,000 people died in the attacks. Which
included the 227 civilians and 19 hijackers aboard the four planes. The event was
also the deadliest incident for firefighters and for law enforcement officers in the
history of the United States. With 343 and 72 killed. The state quickly suspected al
Queda. The group s leader was Osama bin Laden which he initially denied any
involvement in the attacks. It
Live Electronics Essay
1.1Research Goal The object of the proposed research is to build an authoring
system for performance of live electronics which will simplify the compositional
workflow, easy the performance and ensure the preservation. The main idea is to
extend Common Western Music Notation(CWMN) to the field of algorithmic
thinking as a method for creating an abstract and cohesive representation of the
underlying logic and instrumental parts for the live electronics genre. Along with
this new notation, it is necessary to develop an authoring/performance technology
environment which will enable us to represent and execute the logical layer of the
piece and composing a series of live electronic pieces as a means for exploring,
developing and evaluating... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Thus, the introduction of any new notational mechanisms must be designed as an
organic whole about the traditional interpretation of signs and symbols regarding
music semiotics. However, it is important to note here, that the scope of this goal
is constrained to the semantics domain, as in broad sense the re interpretation of a
musical score as a logical descriptor is radical in nature. The choose of CWMN as
main descriptor of music related events is justified for the fact that CWMN is still
in wide sue among the composer community, Kurt Stone wrote regarding this fact
[Stone, 1980]. In spite of the new notational signs generated since early 1950s, a
major part of our era s music, whether serious or not, has been, still is, and probably
will continue to be written either entirely by means of traditional notation or with a
mixture of old and new signs and procedures. A second important aspect relates to a
practical performance aspect. In Western Music, staff notation plays an active role in
the pursuit of communicating a complex musical idea created by the composer
during the live performance. All relevant performance information is carefully
detailed in the score parts, so the score plays two roles in the communication system,
a passive role
Unit 3 Film Analysis
The best use of 3D in films comes when a filmmaker is trying to absorb the
audience into a different world. Scorsese s *Hugo* leads the audience into
Scorsese s magical and whimsical Paris with a gorgeous train staton. *Coraline*
draws the audience into Coraline s disturbing alternative life. *Avatar* literally
creates a separate world and realizes it with 3D. Marvel s *Doctor Strange*, while
not equal in overall cinematic quality to these films, uses 3D incredibly well to align
the audience with Doctor Strange and experience the kaleidoscopic other dimensional
worlds of the film. These extraordinary moments of 3D stand in stark contrast with
the flatter, more ordinary world Doctor Strange used to live in before he became a

In it, physical objects can be twisted, distorted, and re shaped in *Inception* on
steroids ways. The opening scene of the film shows off this dimension before even
introducing the main character. The Ancient One (Tilda Swindon) and Kaecilius
(Mads Mikkelsen) are battling in this mirror dimension. Just like how *Avatar*
and *Hugo* start with shots that show off their 3D, this scene essentially screams
its use of 3D. Buildings rotate and bend in front of the audience. Shatter patterns
and cracks in space appear in front of the screen. Streaks of magical power and
broken bits of building fly out. The camera tilts, rotates, and pans, flipping the
entire world (and the audience) on its side. The audience can t help but be aware of
(and, the filmmaker hopes, awed by) the spectacle they are witnessing. It s a mind
bending opening that draws in the viewer not only does it tell the audience that this
is a 3D film, but it also indicates what visuals, effects, and patterns to expect from the
film, even as it cuts to the comparatively mundane and flat surgeon life of Doctor
The Weight Loss Journey For Wrestling
Despite the dangers, thousands of collegiate and high school wrestlers across the
world go on fasting and binge diets, run with several thick layers of clothing on,
spit into a bottle, or even take laxatives so they can weigh a specific amount on
competition day. Health professionals say this type of diet can be dangerous, rules
are set forth to help regulate it, and classmates look at them like they are crazy.
Despite efforts, it s still happening, and some parents allow it and even support it. For
what purpose? To be tougher than the guy standing behind the line in front of you.

To this day, when I want to stop doing something that is difficult it s much easier to
look back and say, I ve done something harder than this, just finish this up. Also, I
learned to drink water, because we really do need it to live. According to an article
on the New York Times, three collegiate wrestlers died within a three month span in
1997 all from cutting weight (Litsky). Cutting weight is when someone will try to
drastically reduce their weight in a short period of time through a variety of
methods. The deaths of these three collegiate wrestlers resulted in a hasty decision
from the NCAA in an attempt to prevent any more injuries or deaths. An article by
Terry Larimer on The Morning Call explains the that policy banned the use of rubber
suits and saunas for use in weight cutting practices because they drastically increase
body temperature and dehydration, which was the root cause for the deaths of these
three wrestlers (Larimer). Larimer also explains changes the NCAA made to the
weight classes, adding a seven pound weight allowance to all of the weight classes
so that athletes would not have to lose as much weight, with the stipulation that all
weigh in times for competitions would be held 2 hours prior to the event rather than
24 hours (Larimer). This rule was enacted to discourage athletes from cutting weight
on the basis that with less recovery time, losing too much weight will not be
beneficial to the
Steven Hawking s Lecture, 1999 Lead With The Question
``...
Steven Hawking s lecture in 1999 lead with the question Does God Play Dice?
Hawking s lecture focused on whether or not we were able to predict the future or
whether it is arbitrary and random. When deciding the factor does God Play Dice it
boils down to God and what it is we believe in.
There are stories in the Bible that talk about God as the creator of the universe and
along with that everything in it. Anyone who believes in God and accepts him as
such acknowledges that he has a hand in the creating nature. The existence of the
universe had to come about at some point in time or we wouldn t be here today,
right? When looking at different religious groups and looking briefly at their
beliefs, one that stood out to me was Deism. According to their website, Deists
believe that only one God exists. They believe while we have one God, he does not
intervene in the world, or interfere with human life and the laws of the universe.
(Basics of philosophy). If we follow the beliefs that are laid out in Deism, we are
under the belief that God watches over us but allows us to lead our own existence.
Being in our own existence having established that we do believe in god we need to
look into other smaller pictures that make up the big picture. Having determined our
belief in God we can turn our attention to the predictability of the future or whether it
s arbitrary and random or more planned and predictable.
If we follow the path of Deism and truly believe that while god is the
Julia Harris And Artur Samarin In The Great High School...
Everyone does crazy things. Sometimes, people cannot control themselves from
acting out or doing things that could harm others. Julia Snyde, the unsub from
Gentlemen and Players by Joanne Harris and Artur Samarin from The Great High
School Impostor by Daniel Riley are portrayed as evil people because they both
make selfish decisions that hurt others around them to fulfil their motives of
extracting revenge on St Oswald s and having a comfortable life in the US
respectively. But that is just one side of the story. They have had very difficult
upbringings and have never felt loved. Julia Snyde and Artur Samarin are both
portrayed as selfish and vicious by their actions. But, their actions are a result of
PTSD caused by spending their childhood... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
But, this does not work in either case as the relationships formed are emotionally
damaging and even illegal in the case of Artur. While pretending to be a boy to
attend St Oswald s, Julia Snyde meets Leon and immediately falls in love with
him. But, Leon does not feel the same way. In fact, even when he knows that Julia
is in love with him, he continues to play with her emotions and makes her spend
time around him when he is with Francesa, his new girlfriend. Leon is a vain, self
centred teenager who enjoys tormenting Julia. Leon knows that Julia does not
enjoy being around Francesa. But, he forces her to. Snyde said that she had a
shack... it was there that we went, I keeping watch, smoking and trying not to listen
to the sounds that came from the little shack behind me (Harris 213). Leon makes
Julia Snyde keep watch while he was sexual intercourse with Francesa just a few
feet away. Only a sick, mentally unstable human would do such things. He subjects
both Julia and Francesa to a feeling of him wanting the other and mentally torments
Julia as she has to watch the love of her life, be with another girl and she can t do
anything about it. This affects Julia so heavily that she is never able to have a good
relationship with anyone in her life without feeling insecure about herself. In fact,
she harms or pushes people away before that can do the same to her. She

It allows the writer to showcase their unique perspective and storytelling abilities. The process of carefully choosing words, constructing sentences, and building a coherent narrative can be intellectually stimulating.

  • 2. Morality And Ethics On Transhumanism Morality and Ethics on Transhumanism A Concentrated Look at The Diamond Age Stephan Ehr Science Fiction HU 424 April 17, 2015 Envision a world where nano sized robots can burrow themselves into your skin just by touching something or perhaps explode within you on command. Consider perchance, a world were humans have collective thoughts and can generate the processing power of a super computer. Sounds like something out of an awesome dream or a nightmare, depending on how you perceive it. These are just some of the ideas that are presented in transhumanism. Transhumanism can be explained as the belief that the human race can advance past its current physical and intellectual confines through the use of technology (Bostrom, 2014). In the current world we live in, we are limited by a number of factors, many of these include the scientific limitations and the properties of physics. On the other side of the limitations, lay the concepts of morality and ethical issues. Along with those concepts include how this technology correlates to our current world. In the novel The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson, humans live alongside nanobots (and various other technology) in a transhumanist world. In this advanced world, the ideas of morality and ethics are still present within the human race. In many aspects, the morality and ethical issues that humans encounter today are reencountered in this transhuman world. In the novel The Diamond Age, Neal opens the story with the
  • 3. The Next Kind Of Integration By Emily Balzelson Analysis Millions of children, teenagers, young adults, and adults attend school every Monday through Friday in the United States with the intent to learn and further their knowledge of core subjects. They learn math, science, English, history, and countless other subjects throughout the week of school. In history they learn about how for a long time in American history women were not allowed to go to schooland were forbidden get a higher educationfor even longer. They also learn that for much of American history schools were separated by race. In The Next Kind of Integration by Emily Bazelon, the author talks about how in 2008 the Supreme Court ruled in a close decision that the racial integration efforts of two school districts was unconstitutional. In When Bright Girls Decide That Math is a Waste of Time by Susan Jacoby, Jacoby talks about how gender stereotypes limit girls and young women from being proficient in math and science throughout their life. Even though integrating different races, socioeconomic statuses, and even genders can be difficult, in the long run it leads to better educated students and a better experience in school. Segregation is often an issue that people see as an issue that plagued America many decades ago but that is not true at all. In The Next Kind of Integration the author Emily Bazelon talks about a Supreme Court case that talks about a decision to not allowed schools to be segregated. The first sentence of the article says, In June of
  • 4. Home Tech Essay The Toilet Yes...those tales you ve heard are true. The toilet was first patented in England in 1775, invented by one Thomas Crapper, but the extraordinary automatic device called the flush toilet has been around for a long time. Leonardo Da Vinci in the 1400 s designed one that worked, at least on paper, and Queen Elizabeth I reputably had one in her palace in Richmond in 1556, complete with flushing and overflow pipes, a bowl valve and a drain trap. In all versions, ancient and modern, the working principle is the same. Tripping a single lever (the handle) sets in motion a series of actions. The trip handle lifts the seal, usually a rubber flapper, allowing water to flow into the bowl. When the tank is nearly empty, the flap falls back ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The condenser fan helps cool it. The refrigerant is then forced through a thin tube, or capillary tube, and as it escapes this restraint and is sucked back into a gas again, absorbing some heat from the food storage compartment while it does so. The evaporator fan distributes the chilled air. In a self defrosting refrigerator/freezer model, moisture condenses into frost on the cold evaporator coils. The frost melts and drains away when the coils are warmed during the defrost cycle which is initiated by a timer, and ended by the defrost limiter, before the frozen food melts. A small heater prevents condensation between the compartments, the freezer thermostat turns the compressor on and off, and the temp control limits cold air entering the fridge, by means of an adjustable baffle. Smoke Detectors Is your smoke detector good at scaring to death spiders who carelessly tiptoe inside it? Have you ever leapt out of the shower, clad only in you know what, to the piercing tones of your alarm, triggered merely by your forgetting the close the bathroom door? Is it supposed to do this? There are two types of smoke detectors on the market; the photoelectric smoke detector and ionization chamber smoke detector. The photoelectric type uses a photoelectric bulb that shines a beam of light through a plastic maze, called a catacomb. The light is
  • 5. The Fair Labor Standards Act In general the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has set a general rule that allows minor as young as 14 years of age to work. Of course there are limits to the amount of hours worked. The military requires a minimum age of 17 with parents consent to join.

Adam Silver is the National Basketball Associationcommissioner and he is wanting to raise the age that player can enter the league from 19 to 20. Doing so would stop many collegeplayers from leaving school after one year. He has been quoted as saying I believe and continue to believe it will be in the best interest of the league. I think that the extra year in college will be a benefit for these young men to grow and develop as people and basketball players (Reyes, 2014).

The Flipped Classroom Model Of Instruction The use of the flipped classroom model of instruction is gaining attention among instructors and professors at the college and university level (Aronson, Arfstrom, Tam, 2013). Currently, the amount of rigorous, empirical research on the effectiveness of the Flipped Learning model is limited, but growing. As a relatively new model of instruction, it has been found to have a positive impact on important student outcomes, including achievement and engagement (Ferreri O Connor, 2013).

A flipped classroom is a pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed...

Their findings presented the results of a large, Architectural Engineering course with an enrollment of 95, approximately 80 percent were male, with less than 10 percent minority representation. The normal lecture process consisted of two, 50 minute lecture periods and one, 110 minute practicum, weekly. Instead of using this approach, the instructor applied the flipped classroom approach. The instructor posted video records of lecture materials to iTunesU and students viewed the lectures and supplemental content prior to the class. This allowed the students to be exposed to theory based content outside of class time. Because of this approach, there was more time for in class problem solving and increased teacher student interaction. At end of the course, assessment data was collected to examine students use of the video lectures and perceptions of the flipped classroom. A total of 77 students completed the Course Survey 1, and provided consent for their data to be used for research purposes. The majority of the students (74%) felt that the flipped classes were helpful to their understanding of the concepts. An additional 24 percent felt that the flipped classes were somewhat helpful. A total of 75.3 percent of the students agreed, or strongly agreed, that the additional time spent problem solving in class improved their understanding of the estimating methods. Students perceived the method of teaching as more effective than lecturing,
  • 9. World Hunger Problems Currently, 1 billion people suffer from hunger, yet, about 1.5 billion adults are overweight. Currently, the quantity of food produced globally is more than enough to feed the global population, however, the increased food prices, uneven distribution of food around the globe, and the quality of food production practices correlates with the threatening factors that catalyze human induced climate change. Not to mention the population is expected to rise to 9 billion by 2050 which will augment the demand for food production. Solving the issue of world hunger is a complex algorithm involving economic, psychological, and environmental factors. In order to formulate a plan on how to effectively solve the modern crises of world hunger the factors must be addressed and analyzed. Chiefly, modern day farming can sometimes be described as a double edged sword. Using chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides have been normalized in mass production of food in the last few decades in order protect crops from pests to maximize the quantity farmers are able to produce, however, the chemicals do not always kill every pest and the pests who survive live on to pass their traits onto their offspring and create super plants that can withstand these chemicals. This chain of events results in a failed crop owned by a soon to be bankrupt farmer who is unable to pay back the big name company for the expensive chemicals. Not only do these chemicals cause an economic problem for

  • 11. Vonnegut Cat s Cradle Analysis Vonnegut s classic satire Cat s Cradle revolves around a journalist named Jonah (as in Jonah and the whale ), writing a book about the day the first atomic bomb was dropped. In trying to interview the three children of the bomb s inventor, Felix Hoenikker, he is led to the impoverished island of San Lorenzo. It is here that Jonah becomes aware of the outlawed religion Bokononism. Religion (Christianity and Bokononism) proves to be a central element of Cat s Cradle. Vonnegut is highly critical of religion, suggesting through character interactions with both Christianity and Bokononism, that religion is a false form of human connection at best and at worst a vehicle through which followers cleanse themselves of responsibility for the world.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Throughout the novel, Christianity is satirized, as when Miss Faust recounts to Jonah her discussion with Dr. Hoenikker: Dr. Hoenikker asks her if she can tell him anything completely true, to which she responds God is love (55). Hoenikker questions her further, but she just repeats the mantra. Vonnegut implies through Miss Faust s response that she, like so many others, has little understanding of God or love. Vonnegut christian reliance on abstract concepts like God for stability and motivation to continue living.

Erosion causes frost wedging, which is an occurrence of when water freezes and expands in the crack of rocks, which wedge them and break them apart. Also, earthquakes are relatively common in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and tend to also play an important role in the changing landscape of Yosemite Valley. The most considerable form of erosion that is acting on Yosemite right now is rock falls. While most of them are pretty insignificant, large rockfalls prove to be catastrophic and help to sculpt Yosemite

The main character Jason Bourne was played by Matt Damon and Marie St. Jacques is played by Franka Potente. The book and movie were extremely different from each other. The book had more detail of the overall story, easier to comprehend and had character build up. While the movie seemed to only be interested in the action.

Washburn studied and made Jason Bourne wait until he thought he was fit to go out into the world, for instance he made him go on a fishing trip with the hardest fishing crew around to prove his was ready. As always, Jason Bourne proved he was ready for anything. Geoffrey Washburn was never seen or mentioned in the movie which like I said was a great disappointment, because that was the upbringing of Jason Bourne. He is partly responsible to creating the new Jason Bourne. He is also the a great help to Jason Bourne while he tries to find out who he was, and what he was. Another thing that is in the book, is the character Marie St. Jacques who was first Bourne s hostage. Who was in Swedish women working for the Canadian government. In the book she was very intelligent and sharp. She was able to escape from Bourne and then was caught by the cops. She was used by the cops to find Jason and once they found him, they tried to kill her. Though to her surprise Bourne had been following her and saved her. She then felt like she had to be by his side and help him find his identity and then quickly fell in love with him. None of what I said above happened in the film. In the film She was bribed into helping Bourne and was just a petty girl that needed cash to stay in Sweden. She liked Jason Bourne throughout the film from

(Robbins, Judge, and Campbell, 2009). Fiedler believing that our natural leadership style is fixed and the most effective way to handle situations is to change the leader (Fiedler, 1967) would create a constant revolving door at most businesses today, in my opinion. In lesson 6 Leadership, we read that Fiedler proposed a model whereby leaders are classified in terms of whether they were more task oriented or relationship oriented. With the study of organizational behavior expanding, I would tend to think as a society we re much more relationship oriented today than ever before. The value placed highly by generational employees is probably more different than it s ever been before as well. If you re managing a group of young parents, the need for a work home balance would be much greater than if you were managing a group of older employees who didn t have lots of time commitments and various directions to be pulled in when the work day was done. As an effective leader, being cognizant and having the maturity to gauge what your group is saying, either directly or indirectly, and being flexible enough to make the appropriate changes within your leadership style would be paramount for success today. Otherwise you d be looking for a new job more often than you d actually be leading. For those who serve well as deacons gain a good standing for
  • 15. Religion Is An Organized System Of Worship Faith is a belief or a prediction of the future while religion is an organized system of worship followed by a group of people (Pyle 1). While both sound mostly superstitious, they are very necessary for the running of the daily human lives. Humans, for the fear of the unpredictable future, often come up with myths that they hope will keep them safe. It serves them well, as it helps them carry on with their daily activities with reduced fear and anxiety. However, the problems begin when they think that everyone one else must follow their faith. With their superiority in numbers or other forms of power such as firearms, they might be tempted to follow other minor and weaker groupings to be part of them or perish. In this way, religion and faith have been used to steal wealth from weaker kingdoms and make slaves out of previously free humans. One significant positive impact that has been created by religion is the unification of people from various cultures through one faith. However, this has also created a lot of trouble as some cultures have been swallowed up by others. Religions have given us great timeless artistic masterpieces and musical composition for the use of worship by the masses. A common misconception regarding faith and religion is that other people have to believe what one believes. The misconception convinces the believers that only their religion is the right one, and other people should follow it without question. Such indoctrination has led to inter and

He does believe in G d and thanks him for all that he has received but, similar to Frederick Douglass, is aware of the falsehoods being taught in mainstream religion. For instance, he describes a local ministers sermons as their aim seeming to be rather to make us Presbyterians than good citizens. Although he did not believe in any one religion, he did feel that they were good for the community and actively supported the Presbyterian minister, Jewish temples, and other groups. 2.) Industry/Self Improvement: Franklin often can be seen assuming that any effort will be successful if the proper amount of hard work is applied to it. He was, however, aware that he had been very lucky and that few efforts would reach fruition without some effects of luck. It is interesting to see how at every turn Franklin had some sort of system or method laid out, followed it step by step, and achieved the intended result. Many people today can think of what it would take to be successful at something (say a sport or skill) but few know so thoroughly the correct path to take and actually walk down it to its end. We observe this ability even in his childhood. At the time, these attitudes toward

Because the University did not accept the proposal, it missed out on a plethora of possibilities.

If Wal Mart wants to avoid a hearing or a lawsuit in this situation, they need to post notices saying the retailer will not oppose employees talking to union representatives. In addition, if Wal Mart takes more seriously the employees complaints, it might encourage them not to unionize. Unfair Treatment of Employees: Wal Mart has been accused of discriminating against women. Women had been denied training and promotion opportunities that are offered to men.

(A selection of Architectural Manifestos, n.d) Le Corbusier believed architecture, sculpture and painting are dependent on space, as he discussed in his manifesto Ineffable Space in 1948.

In 1965 69 in his writing of Architecture is the thoughtful making of spaces Kahn suggests that meaningful form characterises space. (A selection of Architectural Manifestos n.d) Le Corbusier, one of the pioneers for modern architecture and Kahn, one of the most influential architects from the 20th Century, had two very differing interpretations of what creates a significant space. Both Architects had great influence on the world of architecture and design, and still their concepts are being discussed and stimulate design today. (Oxford University Press n.d) Kahn states that the materials we now use in architecture are known for their strength, not their meaningful use of form. The use of steel and concrete confront us; their characteristics must be in harmony with the spaces that want to be and evoke what spaces can be. A space in

These mechanisms are either passive, concerning antigen ignorance, T cell anergy or apoptosis induction and phenotypic skewing, or active when mediated by regulatory cells [38].

Without CD28/ CD80 CD86 engagement, interactions between TCRs and alloantigens induce the anergy of T cells. CTLA 4 (CD152) has a large structural homology with CD28 and interacts with CD80 CD86 with better affinity than CD28 molecule and functions as a negative regulator of T cell activation [56]. The expression of these two molecules regulates the balance between activation and inhibition of T cells and allows the control of an over reaction of the immune system leading to inflammation or autoimmunity [57]. Similarly, the expression of Programmed Death 1 (PD 1) after antigenic stimulation and interaction with its ligand PDL 1 reduces IL 2 synthesis and induces T cell anergy [58].

The HIPC Initiative was initiated by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bankin 1996. In 2001 Ghana declared itself as heavily indebted poor country, according to the then president John Agyekum Kuffour, the decision of Ghana to be part of this initiative was mainly because of the poor state of the economy. As a result of this the nation was expected to receive a total of 253 million dollars of IMF and the World Bank to help relieve the country from various debts and to invest the rest in infrastructure, basic education, health facilities, water and sanitation.

Although there is a juvenile court system in place to try youth offenders, the way it is being implemented is different between each state. In addition, some states even go further and try youth offenders, depending on the crimethey committed, in an adult criminal court. In recent years, juvenile crimes face harsh punishments in the US, and the number of juvenile offenders sent to youth courts is decreasing, based on the data ( The Sentencing Project Juvenile Justice, 2015). This decline of cases being sent to the juvenile courts indicates that more cases of youth crime are being transferred to adult courts. Trying a child as an adult contradicts to UN s rights of the child as listed on FACT SHEET: A summary of the rights under the Convention on the Rights of the Child (p.1 4), which shows that by transferring a child to an adult correction facility, we are denying that child of his/her rights. A child has a limited understanding of how the world functions. It is difficult for a child to distinguish right from wrong. Therefore, it would be common sense to try a child, under the age of 18, differently than an adult, with some exceptions being made to frequent offenders and very serious crimes.

Many individuals spend their entire childhood participating in a variety of sports that their parents sign them up for. You start with Little League, then move into competitive leagues and then high schoolsports. Some individuals play both competitive leagues and high school sports at the same time. These sports are either individual sports like swimming, to group activities like football, baseball, and lacrosse. Statistics show that kids start sports between the ages of 6 and 7 years old. In 2008, 30% of youths between the ages of 6 12 were active in organized sports, by 2015, the youths between 13 17 years old had dropped from 42% to 39%. In order to achieve something you need to be passionate about it. By truly finding excitement in what you love, makes you work hard and strive for greatness. With the progression of sports, society has encouraged and enjoyed watching athletes from all different age groups. Based on a current study from the NCAA recruiting facts, only 2 % of high school athletes are awarded scholarships.. These athletes work hard during their four years of high school maintaining their grades in order to play in the hopes that they get selected to play in college. Some of these students need a scholarship in order to attend college, because they can t afford it. The scholarships to colleges, usually cover full tuition and fees, room and board, and books. According to Lauren Deutsch with the Crimson White Paper, Student athletes are one of the top generators for colleges bringing in a substantial amount of revenue for the college. In 2015, Alabama football generated $95,132,301 in revenue, according to the Tuscaloosa News. Even accounting for $48,640,971in expenses, including Coach Saban s 7 million salary, we still turned a 46 million profit (Deutsch). Many of the scholarships are not for 4 years, but renewable annually. If the athlete gets injured or is unable to play then they lose their scholarship leaving them unable to pay for their education.

Functionalist is not only concerning the text, but it is also interested in the role that context play in the process of meaning making. So, there are gradual movements from text to context, from form to function, from semantics to pragmatics and from logic to rhetoric. In Halliday in Routledge (2014:46), Halliday observes that language has tripartite function which can be broken down into three interconnecting metafunctions . They are ideational (to express ideas and experience (clause as representation)), interpersonal (to mediate in the establishment of social relationship(clause as exchange)), textual (to provide the formal properties of language(clause as message)). These three metafunctions are good when these are used all of the in any study of text. Cohesion is the part of textual metafunction which refers to the way in which sentences are linked together in order to make sense. There are several cohesion devices which are able to tie together semantically such as conjunction, ellipsis, substitution and reference. These features of cohesion have function to cohere between the message and the language so that the readers are not

Several functions make it easy and quick to work with: The 3D function also allows clear 2D images of a rough surface, because all levels are focused automatically and a sharp image of all levels will be created. This function makes it easy to analyse deep cuts, which can be only partially focused in light microscopy or electron microscopy. To calculate a 3D surface model the lower and upper border of the depth of interest has to be determined, by focusing on these levels. Between these borders a level difference of five microns were chosen. In other words, after every scan the lens moves five microns from the sample away.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... To avoid steps between the different levels, the edges will be rounded. Therefore a minimal resolution of five microns is valid for the cut mark measurements, although the software allows measurements till to decimals because of its logarithm to calculate the surface. In this dissertation, all measurements are fully specified. However, a less accuracy of values less than five microns must not be forgotten. Higher resolutions till one micrometre are also possible, but the number of scanned levels is restricted. Therefore it is possible to analyse fine cut marks in a higher resolution, but in this case, cuts were up to 1 mm deep and a smaller resolution is sufficient. Using this resolution, the ends of cuts, which are very flat, were excluded because their size is approximately under 15 microns and therefore inaccuracies in measurement increase, which might influence the

  • 37. Argumentative Essay On Water Bottles Water Bottles Since the 1990 s Americans are drinking less soft drinks and are now consuming more bottled water than ever. Currently, Americans are drinking over 50% more bottled water than they did in 2001 (theatlantic.com). A reason for this could be that more Americans are aware of the health issues soft drinks create. Although the resurgence and emphasis on a healthier society is a positive aspect of the popularity of water bottles, it does also bring negative aspects. For example, 80 million bottles of water are sold daily in the US daily which means that 80 million plastic bottles need to be disposed. Recycling is what many people believe combats the issue of disposing of so many water bottles but only 20% of those plastic bottles actually get recycled leaving the other 80% to end up in the ocean or even a landfill. This harms the environment, as landfills tend to remove the oxygen from the ground and release methane, a greenhouse gas, harming the ozone layer. A depleting ozone layer causes global warming, the ice caps to melt, and an increased risk in skin cancer. As for the oceans, the plastic bottles degrade then conjoin to create plastic masses as large as the state of Texas. This harms the coral reef and not only pollutes the ocean but also people s food supply as many fish ingest the plastic then people ingests the fish. Although water bottles harm the environment, there are many positives of having bottled water. For example, many Americans work around 40 hours a week with an average commute lasting 26 minutes (thewahsingtonpost.com). This creates a need for an on the go drink and bottled water is an affordable healthy choice. Also in April of 2014, the Flint Water crisis began and is continuing today. The citizens of Flint cannot drink the water in their faucets and humans need to drink water to survive. Many of the citizens in Flint, Michigan are of lower socioeconomic standing and cannot afford to move out of the city as they do not have the income to purchase a new home and there is no resell value in their house as they do not even have water. This means that those people must rely on bottled water in order to have clean drinking water. Plastic bottles
  • 38. Winter Symbolism In Literature Essay When you think of winter what do you usually think about? I think about the freezing temperatures, the ice, and the snow. However, in literature winter can be symbolic of many things. The dark, sadness, old age, and death are just some of the things winter can symbolize in literature. The songs California dreamin by the Mamas and Papas and A hazy shade of winterby Simon and Garfunkel are both about winter but mean very different things. Foster s How to Read Literature Like a Professor will also be referenced in order to help show the meanings of these pieces. California dreaming is a very simple and straightforward song;. It has three short verses and a chorus that repeats a couple of times. California dreamin on such a winter s day is repeated throughout the song. This is the main essence of the song. The narrator is telling us that he likes the warm and sunny days of California more than the cold harsh winter. Throughout this song we learn of other things that the narrator dislikes which are gray skies and brown leaves. These signify the arrival of winter which saddens the narrator. There s also a deeper meaning that can be figured out with the help of Foster s work. In his book he tells us that the cold often can symbolize sadness and that warm often symbolizes happiness. One of the many possible meanings that the mamas and papas could be trying to convey is that it isn t easy to be happy. In the song the narrator arrives at a church and is going to stay. Even though he isn t very happy he would rather be in the church than in the cold as shown in the next verse where he starts to complain about the cold again. We can learn from this message to be thankful for what we have even though it isn t what we want because it could always be worse. In A Hazy Shade of Winter by Simon and Garfunkel the narrator sends a clear message that he does not like the arrival of winter. When you hear the song you can tellhow much he doesn t like the winter anytime anything related to it is said. His voice becomes low, dull and lifeless. The way he sings tries to makes you associate sadness with the winter. To the narrator the winter may be sad because it is cold but if we look deeper into the song we

This essay aims to discuss the contributing factors of issues like low unemployment rate and the Ant Tribe phenomenon from various social economic backgrounds in post expansion period coupled with analysis of current initiative implementation in resolving the emerged social justice issues. Background of China Higher Education Expansion Since the Opening up policy and economic reform from 1978, China has been in great demand of high level intellectuals to build the country, and has witnessed a modest expansion in higher education student admission and a steady increase in set up of higher educational institutions. However, with the rapid development of China s economy and society, the Chinese government had made a policy in 1999 to reform its higher education systems with two key aims, expanding higher education and building world class universities. Thereafter, the number of student intake in higher education has experienced a blow out increase, from 1.1 million in 1998 to 6.75 million in 2011, up six times in enrollment. Furthermore, there has been a dramatic increase in establishment of new educational institutions, a large number of secondary and private colleges included.

Both of these quarterbacks have shown game in and game out that they are among the best to ever play. Anyone that knows the slightest bit about American football will know exactly what someone means when they talk about these two in the Hall of Fame discussion. So what makes these two quarterbacks different? Well, there is not much. Throughout their storied careers, they have had to overcome hardships, which only reiterates the point of their G.O.A.T. (Greatest of all time) status. These players are similar in their play style and records, but are different due to the adversity and hardships each player has had to overcome. The first and arguably most obvious similarity between these two players is that they are two of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the position. Regardless if you ask someone that dislikes either of these two, they will most likely agree that Brady and Manning have become the face of the sport. When they take the field, they are unquestioned leaders and will always give whatever it takes to push the team to success. Another glaring similarity between these two quarterbacks is their athleticism and play style. Neither of these players were gifted with speed. However, they more than make up for their lack of agility with their throws. Their understanding of the game and the other team s defense allows them to make throws that would look close to

The story is centred on Michael Corleone, and how he grows from a young man wanting nothing to do with the family business to a ruthless Don who will stop at nothing to exact his revenge. The movie grossed around 286 million dollars and is touted as one of the most successful films of all time, and in 1990 it was selected for preservation in the United States Film Registry. The film portrays many different character stereotypes commonly used in the Crime genre, and this helps to allow the viewer to identify with the characters better, as they already have an understanding of what their intentions are. Michael Corleone is the youngest son of Don Vito Corleone and, despite his families criminal background, he doesn t want anything to do with his father s bussiness. He can be considered the main protagonist of the story, however he fits under the character stereotype of the Villain, in accordance with the stock characters stated by narrative theorist Vladimir Propp. Michael is a returned war hero and is first introduced attending his sister Connie s wedding with his girlfriend, Kay.

Critical thinking is a skill that takes years of practice to master. In this essay I will reflect on my personal stage of critical thinking and what strengths and weaknesses I currently have. This personal reflection will include what challenges I will face to advance my critical thinking skills and what requirements a critical thinker must have. I will also go into detail what a fair minded thinker is and how this class can help to prepare me for the real world and the challenges a fair minded thinker can face. What does Critical Thinking mean to me? When I think of critical thinking and how I would define it, the simplest definition is having the ability to solve or argue and issue by using unbiased, evidenced backed ideas. In any profession, a person must have the ability to solve problems and work with others. Having a biased opinion and not including other s ideas and opinions into your own thought forces you to not have an open mind and limits expanded knowledge.

The main interactionist concepts are the definition of the situation if we believe in something then it could affect the way in which we behave. The looking glass self this was created by Cooley who argues that we see ourselves in a way in which we think others see us. These concepts have been useful in explaining why people act in certain ways in certain situations; therefore, the labelling theory is effective in the study of society.

Ford would sell close to 417,000 Mustangs within the first year (Tucker). In August 1964, Carol Shelby approached Lee Daocca, President of Fomoco at the time. Shelby had a vision to create a high performance Mustang and Shelby wanted a car that could hold its own both on and off the track. Once Shelby received approval to move forward on the project, he created a fastback 2+2 Mustang (Kelly). This model Mustang only had front bucket seats and a console but no back seat, which earned it the name fastback 2+2.

Thus, the introduction of any new notational mechanisms must be designed as an organic whole about the traditional interpretation of signs and symbols regarding music semiotics. However, it is important to note here, that the scope of this goal is constrained to the semantics domain, as in broad sense the re interpretation of a musical score as a logical descriptor is radical in nature. The choose of CWMN as main descriptor of music related events is justified for the fact that CWMN is still in wide sue among the composer community, Kurt Stone wrote regarding this fact [Stone, 1980]. In spite of the new notational signs generated since early 1950s, a major part of our era s music, whether serious or not, has been, still is, and probably will continue to be written either entirely by means of traditional notation or with a mixture of old and new signs and procedures. A second important aspect relates to a practical performance aspect. In Western Music, staff notation plays an active role in the pursuit of communicating a complex musical idea created by the composer during the live performance. All relevant performance information is carefully detailed in the score parts, so the score plays two roles in the communication system, a passive role

According to an article on the New York Times, three collegiate wrestlers died within a three month span in 1997 all from cutting weight (Litsky). Cutting weight is when someone will try to drastically reduce their weight in a short period of time through a variety of methods. The deaths of these three collegiate wrestlers resulted in a hasty decision from the NCAA in an attempt to prevent any more injuries or deaths. An article by Terry Larimer on The Morning Call explains the that policy banned the use of rubber suits and saunas for use in weight cutting practices because they drastically increase body temperature and dehydration, which was the root cause for the deaths of these three wrestlers (Larimer). Larimer also explains changes the NCAA made to the weight classes, adding a seven pound weight allowance to all of the weight classes so that athletes would not have to lose as much weight, with the stipulation that all weigh in times for competitions would be held 2 hours prior to the event rather than 24 hours (Larimer). This rule was enacted to discourage athletes from cutting weight on the basis that with less recovery time, losing too much weight will not be beneficial to the

When deciding the factor does God Play Dice it boils down to God and what it is we believe in. There are stories in the Bible that talk about God as the creator of the universe and along with that everything in it.

They believe while we have one God, he does not intervene in the world, or interfere with human life and the laws of the universe. (Basics of philosophy). If we follow the beliefs that are laid out in Deism, we are under the belief that God watches over us but allows us to lead our own existence.
