The two bills I chose were bill 2 and bill 5. These bills were a resolution to create a demilitarized zone the South China Sea (bill 2) and a bill to create an Indian free trade agreement (bill 5). The speeches I wrote were both positive and bill 2 was won by the Republicans, which is the group I was with. I also believe bill 5 would have been won too, but that bill was never called upon. The South China Sea is worth 5.3 trillion dollars. This is enough for China to threaten military action for claim over the wealth (Fensom). How important is this body of water? The South China Sea is very valuable. Most of its wealth is within trade, islands, and oil. Many global sea routes connect in the South China Sea, giving it the nickname “the throat …show more content…
I found myself agreeing with every bill that was voted on for the Republican side. However, there were some bills I did not agree with. For example, bill 1 I would have had to vote no, against the Republican party, because I do not agree with a bill to eliminate mandatory minimum sentences. The bills that were brought up for discussion happened to work out to where I agree with, and voted on, the Republican side.
The hardest part about Mock Congress was getting in front of the class and saying my speech. I am not very good at speaking, making it hard to fluently give an entire speech in front of a crowd. The easiest part about Mock Congress was probably listening and voting on other bills. The part I enjoyed the most was listening and debating on the bills brought up in class. I enjoyed this because I found it to be fun and interesting. The part I enjoyed least would definitely been giving my speech in front of the class.
I do not really have any one person in mind for the best congressman/woman. If I had to choose, I would pick Alex Hudson. I am choosing him because he was very active during the duration of Mock Congress. He brought up several good points, along with asking good questions. Alex also seemed the most prepared on him speech, being that he had all the facts he needed for his speech memorized and did not need and
A text is the content in a message or any printed material. There are basic ways that are used in reading to make the learner gain, retain, and understand the content. For instance, one way is by applying the top, down, and bottom up strategy; which people use in their native language. Reading involves, previewing, predicting, skimming and scanning, guessing and paraphrasing (Tsai 120).
Betty Washington deserves the award because she extends the criteria, and is the best candidate.
Hamilton Vs Jefferson was one of my projects I was required to do in my history class by my teacher.Even though I was required to do this project,I thought that this was most enjoyable to do.My history teacher told us that the assignment was to describe Hamilton and Jefferson's political relationship and who thought what.Not just that,but we also had to write a fake rap battle between them explaining what they thought on the matter.That is what I did to get my A+ grade.
One of the major things different about our mock congress is that there is no party divide. No one mentioned wether they were a Republican or a Democrat in our debates because it didn't matter. Although, sometimes you could guess from the bill people were trying to pass or the way they were arguing their point but not one cared to actually ask. Another difference is that there is no Staff System supporting you and empowering your bill. A staff system would research every detail making sure that ,whatever the bill is, that it is detailed and precise where as we only have however much research we can find on the internet and possibly the library. Also there was no preventing a bill from passing in our little congress like a filibuster or
We had to create a political ad. We also had to make up a candidate. My partner and I came up with Bill Boards. We had to include seven logical fallacies, my partner and I used Ad Populum, Every man, Non Sequitur, Red Herring, Slippery Slope, Bandwagon. We also had to use two of the three rhetorical strategies, Ethos, Pathos, and logos.
My candidate, Barbara Comstock, is running for Congress of the U.S. House to represent the 10th Congressional District of Virginia. The most important responsibility for a congressman/congresswoman is to make laws for the United States. They prepare and consider legislation. Representatives are chosen for two-year terms and serve the people in a specific congressional district.

The Unlikely Hero of Room 13b in my eyes is a stupendous book that expresses many emotions that eventually rubbed off onto me. Just to give a visual, this novel is about a group of OCD young adults that try to “get fixed”, as they say. In the meantime Chuck, the therapist for the bunch decides to make each one of the members to mentally become a superhero. Immediately as this project starts Robyn a new student chooses to be Robin as her superhero, and Adam another student who already knows they are soul mates decides to be Robyn’s Batman.
I found the two days of Mock Congress very informative into the practices and procedures of the U.S Senate. Personally, I am very interested in politics and how it works and is structured. One thing I enjoyed was the freedom to really say whatever I pleased within reason. However, I found it kind of bland in the sense that the parties were colors and there was no real division among votes besides that of those who wanted to spice things up a little bit.
To be perfectly honest my recollection of Comp 121 is a little foggy, i took the course roughly a year and a half ago and during my first semester and it was one of my first college level courses. From what i can recall it was a interesting and enjoyable, The professor Jacob Sherlock is no longer with the school, but was a professional writer along with a life-long lover and student of the written word. We regularly discussed current events and the class wide give and take of various ideas and viewpoints was truly enlightening and are easily amongst my most enjoyable and memorable college experiences. In particular i vibrantly recall a passionate debate on gun-control which was to be frank, dominated by a extremely Conservative former Army
Although some of my opinions are neutral, I agree with the Republican Party most of the time. First of all, the Republican Party is against abortions. Personally, I believe that abortion is murder, regardless of whether the baby is developed into a human being. Opponents argue that rape victims must be able to abort their child, but they could give their baby to an orphanage. Others argue that giving birth can cause life-threatening complications for the mother. In this case, an abortion is merely killing an individual in order to save another individual, which is illegal. In addition to rape, Republicans are against illegal immigration. Legal immigration is one thing, but illegal immigrants benefit from living in America without paying taxes.
I believe that I am more Republican. Some of the biggest issues that are important to me are abortion, immigration and taxes. Even though my beliefs on abortion do not line up with that of republicans, I still generally side with their beliefs more. I believe in prochoice, I think that people should be safe when it comes to things like pregnancy but if they want to get an abortion, it is up to that person. The government should not be allowed to control what someone does with their body in this aspect. Immigration is another issue I find very important feel that if someone is here illegally, they should not be allowed to stay. I feel that immigration is ok as long as the person coming into the country does it right. America is a country of immigrants so of course our arm should be open to those who wish to live here. However, the moment they are here illegally and are not planning to legally be part of the country they should be deported. Finally, taxes are a somewhat important issue to me. I think that the very rich should have higher taxes since it makes more sense that they would have the money to pay for it. Those who do not make a lot a year should be minimally taxed so that they are able to pay their taxes each year.
Chris McCandless, the subject of Jon Krakauer in Into the Wild, was not insensible or ill-equipped, but rather he was going out into the wild to locate the genuine importance of life and to perceive what it resembled to live out in the wild all alone. Chris was an incredible good example for children the whole way across the nation; since he was attempting to experience his fantasy and do what he believed was appropriate in the wild and would not tune in to what anybody instructed him to do. Chris McCandless was an adoring and minding individual who esteemed for all creation and needed to make tracks in an opposite direction from the general public and live allowed to locate the significance of life.

It is difficult to always side with one party however when forming my opinion on controversial topics in the United States I generally side with republicans. There are topics that democrats have better ideas on, but they are not many. Some of the most important issues today in America are drug use, education and same sex marriage, and republicans definitely have the right idea on those topics. There are many others in which they are correct, but those are some of the most important to me. As part of the youth of our generation, I find it exceedingly important to focus on what is in our nations best interest for the future, and when considering our options republicanism is a strongly advised and supported opinion.
