The film/documentary, titled Tools of Exploitation, chronicles, analyzes and explains Western civilizations influence on African culture/livelihood throughout the period of colonialism (the film covers the slave trade for a brief moment as well) leading to the modern day. Narrated by scholar/author Ali Mazrui, the film focuses on the usurping of Africa’s future potential due to European powers stymying Africa’s growth for their (Western) own gain (hence the name Tools of Exploitation; Africa was exploited for European gain). The film addresses many factors to why this has taken place but focuses mostly on economic reasons as well as the false justifications Europeans used to colonize the continent.

Conversation is a ritual every person must encounter throughout their lives in order to function properly with one another in today’s society. However, every individual has a “different idea about what’s appropriate” when approaching someone in any sort of conversation; that is why we are referred to as individuals (Tannen 327). There are thousands of diverse languages to speak to one another with, in fact that means there are thousands of different ways to offend each other with our words. Within those languages there are several contrasting gestures that can offend any single person, such as the amount of times individuals apologize in one meeting, giving criticism too harshly, or thanking someone so often it does not seem genuine. In the article “What Do You Mean,” Deborah Tannen touches upon apologies, criticism, and thank yous in further detail to explain where individuals go wrong within conversation and how they can fix their actions. Individuals find it satisfying to please others by being polite because it is the ‘right’ thing to do, however like myself others need to stand up for themselves and get directly to the point now in order to avoid conflict later in life.

Junior attends Reardan after persuasion from Mr. P, a teacher at a Wellpinit. At first, Junior sees himself as an outsider in a new world. However, Junior soon meets new people at Reardan and is supported by them and others. This support from Junior’s peers is apparent when Junior goes to his social studies class after missing school due to the deaths of his grandmother and Eugene, his father’s best friend. His teacher, Mrs. Jeremy, sarcastically shames him for missing the amount of classes he missed although she knows about the deaths. The students of Reardan all retaliate against Mrs. Jeremy. “...it was Gordy who defended [him]. He stood with his textbook and dropped it...He was protecting [him]...Gordy showed a lot of courage in standing up to a teacher like that. And his courage inspired others. Penelope stood and dropped her textbook. And then Roger stood and dropped his textbook...Then the other basketball players did the same...Then all of my classmates walked out of the room” (175). The students dropping their textbooks and walking out of the classroom is their method of fighting back against the hurtful statements made against Junior. The students are protecting him by fighting back, displaying that the students are sticking up for Junior and supporting him against his unjust teacher. This support would not have been present if the students do not accept Junior as part of their

It may be considered rude to talk about religion, the mafia, politics or personal family matters.

A person can also have a friendly debate without getting personal. When we are talking to people in alternate filter bubbles, we regularly respond through our emotions and start to make personal attacks. Harassing the other person would be considered a personal attack. The best way to have a friendly debate is to stay calm and listen to the other person’s argument. (Brenner) To understand the other person’s argument, you should carefully listen to him or her. Stephan Covey once said, “The biggest communication problem is we do not listen to understand. We listen to reply.” While it is true that friends are supposed to share a common interest, we must understand that friends will not agree on everything. When we are communicating with friends, we should be very considerate of the other person’s viewpoint. One way this step is described in my life is when my friends wanted to go to the club, but I did not. We discussed the pros and cons of being present in that type of environment; however, my friends convinced me into experiencing new things. If we just listen to the other person’s point of view, it could possibly alter our way of

After writing the diagnostic synthesis argument essay in class for about three days straight, I have learned many things about the AP exam, as well as my writing skills. During the first day, I realized that getting a head start on the introduction was a bit difficult, although I was aware of which side I was arguing for. It felt a bit unnatural transitioning from the introduction to the body paragraphs, where I provide evidence from sources to support my claim. Other times, I felt like I was repeating after the sources a lot and that none of the evidence I showcased really supported my side of the argument. Another major problem was time.
