The article written by Belinda Robnett and Cynthia Feliciano “Patterns of Racial-Ethnic Exclusion by Internet Daters” is an analysis article that was published in March 2011, and it is property of the University of North Carolina Press. Robnett and Feliciano’s article is intended to inform and explore the ways people who decide to online date react to other online daters based on their race and gender. It clearly states that these two concepts significantly influence the choices that online daters are given, because based on the authors’ research an example given was that “Few studies have comparatively assessed the Latino, Asian and black acceptance rates of minority groups.

The article “The financially sustainable university” by Jeff Denneen and Tom Dretler, speaks about the financial crisis that institutions face and outlines areas of concern that colleges need to focus on to make the change to becoming financially sustainable. Colleges and Universities have been the foundation of economic prosperity and the key to realizing the American dream (Denneen, 2012), however; the increasing tuition rates and student loan debt continues to plague them. There was a time when tuition increases were passed on to the students, however; no longer are students and their families in a position to fund their education as in the years before. These economic factors have made innovation and change necessary to survive (Denneen, 2012).

Both Levinson and Schultz focused on the importance that experience based civic action projects can have on students. There are some experiences that will not have the same impact being covered in a classroom compared to be seen in action. The Mock Trial in Levinson is a perfect example of this, seeing the mechanics of a legal trial even if it’s only a mock one provides so much more colorful learning experience than what could be covered in a classroom. Experience based civic action projects also offers a critical opportunity to reach students who may often not be active in class. This project may draw out their interest and you may see a side of that student you have never seen before.

The United States consumes more than 25% of the world’s petroleum products which is a large percentage, considering only 3% of the world’s oil reserves are produced by the United States. Given the demand for petroleum products such as gasoline, understanding why Crude oil prices have skyrocketed in recent years, is not hard. According to the article “Ending America’s Oil Addiction,” the surge in crude oil prices can be reduced in large part to the simple concepts of supply and demand. (Cooper, 2008)

Brooks’ article is putting forth what Terry L. Cooper alleges “The World as It is” (Cooper, 2012, p. 27). The difficulty in attempting to delineate his argument of “If it Feels Right” from a moral barometer perspective lies in the fact there are not any explicit unequivocal specifications to morality and value. While it can be argued there is a universal basis for ethics, depending on the society we are looking at, the interviews completed by Smith and Company addresses the contemporary issue of moral relativism, which is according to Lewis Vaughn, the view that a moral truth is completely and absolutely a function of the individual, with only specific cultures or persons legitimatizing morals values assigned to it (Vaughn, 2015). This issue

In the words of Paul Bloom "We are constituted so that simple acts of kindness, such as giving to charity or expressing gratitude, have a positive effect on our long-term moods. The key to the happy life, it seems, is the good life: a life with sustained relationships, challenging work, and connections to community." This is saying that all the good things in life can be connected through simple things. This essay show you how Michael Phelps and California can be connected, how California could be connected to dogs, and how dogs could be connected to Jensen Ackles.

Speaking about, the article, "Everything Now", McKevitt informs and explains to the reader how in today's society we live in a more competently environment. That is to say, we individuals should be happier, but we are less happy. Also, how we individuals are persuaded into buying one product towards the other one, when it is the same identical product. However, it might be just be a different brand and advertise differently. "Visit your local supermarket and you'll find around 120 different brands of toothpaste to choose from. Some promise fresher breath,others whiter teeth, for people with fillings or cavities,there will be gels,pastes and powders, but despite this welter of options,each and everyone will be virtually identical chemically;essentially

Beatty, Blow, and Crossley (2013) use detailed data from older households in the UK to test the trade-off between keeping warm during unseasonably cold weather and food expenditures.

This article explains a study that Catherine Adekemi Ayantoye and John L. Luckner conducted, about factors that contribute to the success of students who are deaf or hard of hearing that come from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds who receive most of their education in an inclusive setting. This study was conducted using a strength-based positive psychology lens, which means the focus of the study was on human strengths. This study used two ways to collect their data, interviews and observations. By preforming both of these strategies to collect their data, Ayantoye and Luckner were able to reveal seven themes that contribute to the success of all four of the students in this study. These seven themes are: helpful resources,

In this article—a transcript of the show—Robin McDowell and Martha Mendoza are talking about the slave labor and their experience fighting against it. McDowell and Mendoza started an investigation after hearing for years the stories about the use of the force labor in Southeast Asia. During their investigation McDowell and Mendoza found out that a lot of restaurants like Red Lobster and Olive Garden and grocery stores such as Albertsons and Wal-Mart are using or selling slave-labored seafood. Also, with help of the investigation, according to the AP, “2,000 trapped fishermen have been freed, more than a dozen alleged traffickers arrested, and millions of dollars’ worth of seafood and vessels seized. ”

The world is vastly changing. With it, is the classroom and the ways in which students work and think. They are not motivated by mundane instructions that they have no relation to. According to Boscolo & Hidi (2007), “Paper-based writing projects are often foreign to student interest and what they relate to in their daily life” (p. 29). This lack of interest and motivation has led to an increase in writing struggles amongst students in various schools. Brett Darrington and Tonia Dousay attempt to take a closer look at students’ writing struggles and suggest an alternative. Using various sources and studies, they look at the use of Multimodal teaching and student needs to find a solution to the problem.
