Dig Deeper Summary

I appreciate the author’s attempt to fully submerse herself back into an adolescent mindset in order to understand the complex issues of masculinity, sexuality and gender

Many college students find themselves struggling, while trying to write papers in their English classes. This book was written to help you though these struggles. They say/I say by Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein is a book that was designed to help students be better writers. I think that this book is absolutely a huge help to anyone in need of becoming a much more confident and better writer. This book has helped me learn how to write more structured sentences and how to form them in ways that sound better and are also more grammatically correct than before. I have learned how to properly demonstrate and use many writing techniques such as making quotations, playing the believing game, how to write strong summaries, how to plant a “naysayer”, and incorporate “so what?” and “who cares?” into my writing. This book can be extremely helpful to anyone in need of assistance or for people interested in

According to Gerald Corey and Marianne Corey (2014) in I Never Knew I had a Choice: Explorations in Personal Growth, the idea presented in the book is recognizing and responding constructively to the sources of stress rather than trying to eliminate them, because stress is an inevitable part of life that cannot be eliminated but can be managed (Corey & Corey, 2014).

Chapter 5 of They Say I Say is a very interesting chapter because it talks about improving your writing. In the chapter, they talk about learning how to state your own opinion without sounding biased. I believe that one great example of this is when the author exclaims, “I have a problem with what liberals call cultural differences.” This type of writing is important because you can express your own views and opinions without sounding biased. This type of writing only works if you can integrate parts of their argument into your own. Another method discussed in this text was using references to things you said prior to that. One good example of this could be when it states that,“ We would argue that voice markers we identified earlier, are extremely

Should nuclear energy be used? Throughout the article “Nowhere to go”, the author objectively reviews the use of nuclear energy, using the text and graphics to provide details that demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of its use. Nevertheless, the consequences of using nuclear energy outweigh the benefits. One of these consequences is that working with nuclear energy can cause many health problems. The text states, “Dangers include radiation sickness, cancers, and other health problems. High level radioactive waste can present hazards ‘for a million years or more,’ Kamps says.” This means that using nuclear energy can cause health problems for future generations.

In our culture today we see the progression of how technology has affected our social makeup. In “Is Google Making us Stupid?” by Nicholas Carr, the writer makes clear that our current use of technology has diminished our ability to think critically. While one could agree with Carr’s point, there is also an issue that has a greater level of concern. Our ability to think critically about the information we gather is only a resultant consequence of the population’s new-found focus on technology rather than relating intentionally. Why is it that our current social constructs are made up almost entirely of technology? What happened to the time when humans interacted outside of their obsession to seek comfort from what lacks any empathy (their phones), rather than real humans?

Having had the opportunity to watch the entire series of “We Shall Remain”, it is my educated opinion that United States history books need to be rewritten in order to display the magnitude in which the founding fathers of the United States were nothing more than liars, thieves, and murders to the Native Americans. The signing of the Peace Treaty in March 1621 marked the first of more than 350 Peace Treaties by the United States and Native Americans that would later be overturned by the United States. It appears that once the Colonists began actually outnumbering the Wampanoag, the Colonists conceit, gluttony, and bigotry had come to the top of their agenda and it began to show their true intentions.

It is stressed in the Goal that there is a massive difference between throughput and efficiency. The novel makes the case that having an efficient operation does not equate to profitability. What does equate to profitability is to increase the throughput of any given operations system. Jonah tells Alex, “Throughput, is the rate in which the system generates money through sales.” (Goldratt, E.M. (2014), The Goal, pg. 60). Jonah goes on to explain to Alex that inventory is all the money that was invested in purchasing things that the system intends to sell. (Id). Furthermore, operational expenses are those costs that are required to turn inventory into throughput. (Id, at pg. 61). The definitions of these three measurements are not standard definitions for an MBA student. It is an interesting perspective on how to view operations.

Indian Uprising of 1622: After Powhatan Chief Opechancanough was planning to befriend the English, so that he could play a clever ruse, in which they would get revenge by attacking the English after befriending them, but the Indians would later be defeated with many casualties by the

The article published by “USA Today” talks about a african american woman named Sandra Bland who was pulled over for a traffic violation, put in jail, and two days later “supposedly” committed suicide while in jail. Sandra was on her way to a church gathering, when she was pulled over by a white police officer. She was pulled over and the police officer kept asking her to put her cigarette out. When she refused to put the cigarette out the police officer kept asking her to step out of the car. She was asking the question, “ what does this have to do to anything, if you're going to give me a ticket just give it to me and we can both get going.” The police officer then said he would drag her out the car if she didn't throw her cigarette out and

In the article, “Loss of Dung Beetles Puts Ecosystems in Deep Doo-Doo”, the author discusses the effects dung beetles have on an ecosystem, and how these beetles cohabitate in their surrounding areas. The study was conducted to determine how dung beetles function in their environment, and what happens to them as a result. Additionally, researchers wanted to figure out if there was any loss of biodiversity or destruction of the ecosystem within the beetle population. Researchers placed a population of beetles in two different areas to observe their behaviors. One of the areas was a hydroelectric dam in a tropical forest of Venezuela, and the other was a much smaller island. The results indicated that the larger bees left the smaller islands

“Bad dude” is an article about Ms Rayos, who is innocent and has been living in the United states for twenty-one years and is known to the authorities at this point in phoenix. Furthermore, this article highlights some of the policies of the trump administration against immigrants and the atrocities of custom and enforcement agencies. Moreover, this article highlights the reaction from civil society against the deportation of MS Rayos and raises the concerns of all innocent immigrant families living in the united states for years.

Natural forms of chimerism can also cause issues in paternity and maternity testing for unintentionally omitted children of a will. Consider In Re Estate of Dicksion, an Oklahoma Supreme Court case that dealt with this exact issue. In Dicksion, Thomas Powell, an alleged son of the decedent born out of wedlock, argued that he was a pretermitted son of the deceased. To support this contention, Powell presented a posthumous paternity test of the decedent showing parentage. The trial court admitted the DNA test but another heir of the decedent challenged whether a posthumous DNA test could be used in probate proceedings. The Supreme Court determined that posthumous paternity tests were admissible in probate proceedings, holding “it is illogical

In the book Dude You're a Fag: Masculinity and Sexuality in High School, author C.J. Pascoe did a study for roughly a year and a half at a American High school. While she was at this high school she examined masculinity and its ties with sexuality.

In the article “Resist the internet” author Ross Douthat suggests that as a whole modern society relies too much on technology, and that we are addicted and should consider practicing some forms of technological temperance. Douthat recommends making cell phones more of a social taboo, adding boxes at restaurants to collect them in while patrons are eating, or discouraging their use during the several minutes preceding a formal business meeting. Douthat also suggests that kids under the age of 16 be banned from joining any form of video gaming networks. Douthat makes several points that I agree with, like the temperance on use of cellular devices at friendly or family outings or the deposit boxes at restaurants for the devices, however I strongly disagree with his idea of banning children and young teens from videogaming networks and the use of laptops in college lecture halls.
