Frederick J. Keely, known as the "father" of multiple choice tests, ironically said that "These tests are too crude to be used and should be abandoned.". Should students be required to pass a year-end test to move on to the next grade? Some people think that they should and others think they should not. I did research on three questions to help prove my point. What if the students have all A's but do not test well? What if the students attended private school or were home-schooled? What requirements of state testing? I believe that students should not be required to take a year-end test to go on to the next grade.

The mental and physical side of an athlete are both very unique and are equally important to the player and his or her team.In the story “what can be better then a touchdown?” Dwight Lowery, a New York Jets safety, intercepted the ball in the middle of a play and dashed 26 yard to the end zone.(57) After the amazing interception and the outrageous touchdown people started to question Lowery’s actions.Fans went on that jets website and started to debate if Dwights touchdown was a good idea or not at jetsinsiders.com.The fans started to talk about how Dwight should’ve taken a knee when he caught the the interception and that he might’ve cost the game for the Jets.The author Kelefa Sanneh stated that “if Lowery had forsworn the end zone

This paper considers two issues: firstly, human rights in the developing world and secondly Canada’s responsibility of humanitarian assistance. Both issues are of grave importance and are mutually exclusive - as nations lacking strong human rights standards are more likely to require the greatest humanitarian assistance. Additionally, the need for humanitarian assistance will increase as global crises become more frequent, due to climate change insecurity (Adger, Huq, Brown, Conway & Hulme, 2003). The example of climate change will be utilised throughout this paper to explore the disparaging links between climate justice and human rights. In defining humanitarian assistance this paper will take Jamieson’s (2004) definition that humanitarian assistance is a response to crises via support in the short term to overcome disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis. Whereas, development assistance considers the longer term issues in developing countries. By defining the two main types of assistance this paper will propose that greater investment into development aid may reduce the need for humanitarian aid as nations become more capable to support themselves. The body of this paper will consider key arguments concerning humanitarian assistance and human rights, including: Canadas humanitarian response in the developing world, the increasing need for global crisis response, human rights as a global responsibility and lastly the move from humanitarian to development assistance.

Jim Casy was separated from the group earlier in the book and they are finally reunited. Jim has finally gotten to Tom with his theory that we are all a part of one big soul. Everything happens for a reason and it all contributes to the big picture. Tom has opened up and is telling stories from the jail, when a rustling of leaves comes from outside the tent. When Jim goes to check things out he was struck over the head with an axe. Contradicting to how far Tom has gotten on becoming a better person he picks up the axe and kills the attacker. This symbolism back to the beginning of the book when he killed the first attacker. Tom realizes what he has done and is forced to run into hiding. This surprise act just shows theme in how everything is

Patterson expresses a fear that “Man will be convinced by these climate cultists to turn his back on the very political, economic, and scientific institutions that made him so powerful, so wealthy, so healthy”. By framing his argument in a way that transitions from highlighting the scientific ignorance of global warming to the policies that such a worldview could impact, Patterson attempts to establish a chain of logic that justifies his concern for global warming as an influence on government. The language used in the sentence (“climate cultists” trying to convince “Man”, turning their back on beneficial institutions) also implies to the reader that the proponents of global warming are actively attempting to undermine the institutions that have allowed humankind to thrive in the modern world. This opinion is underlined later in the article, when Patterson contemplates why many “hope” for climate change catastrophe.

What I just read makes me think about how people sent mail or letters to someone who was far away from them because, in the book Michael Vey, letters and notes were easily sent by the use of technology. During the olden days when technology was not available, how were messages sent to people around the world?

Climate change causes harm, heat waves, storms and flood that will kill a lot of people and harm our home and the way we live. When it come to utilitarian or prioritarian when it comes to climate change, i choose prioritarian when it come to helping the poor with benefits from the rich people because climate change threatens to kill hundred of people and prioritarianism is required to prevent that from happening and it give priority to people that is worst

The main objective of environmental human rights is to “create increasing opportunities of legal action to protect the environment.” Barry and Woods emphasize that “[t]he point of claiming environmental human right(s) is, therefore, to promote some minimum level of environmental sustainability as being beyond the sphere of political compromise.” According to Philip, human rights advocates should not lose sight of their

Climate change in our natural ecosystems are at risk; since human economics and cultures depend on. Caused by human factors such as greenhouse gases, the evidence of climate change is becoming more clearer. These ecosystems, it threatens humans as well. According to Stephen M Gardiner, money and morals block our way to stop global warming. In his essay “A Perfect Moral Storm”, he lists these types of dilemmas, or “storms”that prevent meaningful action against climate change: the global storm, the intergenerational storm, the theoretical storm, and the moral storm. By “theoretical storm”, Gardiner refers to the fact that the ongoing climate change is a result of uncontemplation. On the other hand, Climatologist John R Christy believes that global warming isn’t something that we should worry about and our impact will be minuscule if we try to stop it. Of these dilemmas, the theoretical storm is most critical to Christy’s testimony because the time to fixate global warming is now before the future populations decide it’s too late.

There are many literary devices in this song, and the first one is onomatopoeia. Scotty Sire writes, “WHOOPDIE DOO” and, “HAHA”. These are onomatopoeias because they are words are sounds associated with words. Secondly, the lyrics, “I’m always so sad the littlest things get me upset or mad my life’s pretty good, no I don’t have it bad” are rhymes. The words, sad, mad, and bad, all rhyme, and are adjectives that tell how Scotty feels. He uses these words because he wants the listener to know how he feels right away, without having to think more about what the word means. Additionally, the lyric “I’m just a baby” is a metaphor, because Scotty is not actually a baby, he just compares himself to one because he is sad and cries a lot. The next literary

When I polled a few of my friends about “what is the single most critical problem facing us today?” I got a frequent response that’s not so shocking, climate change. So why climate change? Why not obesity, or population control, or education? While all of those are problems that deserve discussion, no single topic is so fundamental to us as humans as climate change. In 2007 Al Gore stated in his person of the year interview that “Today we 're dumping 70 million tons of global-warming pollution into the environment, and tomorrow we will dump more, and there is no effective worldwide response. Until we start sharply reducing global-warming pollution, I will feel that I have failed.” (Walsh) Perhaps the paradigm has changed. Climate change is now talked about at every level of government, in large and small businesses, and communities across the globe. It’s a topic that functions to affect our economy and our environment. Moving forward, it’s important to understand why our way of life will be affected by the way we tackle these issues surrounding climate change. Climate change is the single most important issue affecting the human race today due to its widespread impact on our survival; impacting food sources, transportation, weather, geography and other life forms on the earth.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in a report said “More people are projected to be harmed than benefited by climate change, even for global mean temperature increases of less than a few degrees centigrade.” If you don’t care to hear me out listen to people’s IQ that make me look like a fool they know their stuff. The IPCC are telling you, no us that harm will come to everyone but more to the people and industries that are responsible for the gasses that are harming the planet. The report shifts to another part “ The ability of human systems to adapt to and cope with climate change depends on such factors as wealth, technology, education, information, skills, infrastructure, access to resources, and management capabilities.” not everyone on the planet has all the “factors” needed to last and make through what’s to

In the contemporary world, the importance of the environment, human lives in, which was always debatable, has now become controversial. The substantial influence of global warming has sparked the controversy over the potential impact of this trend on climate change in recent years. It can be agreed that governments as a more powerful body is responsible to control this unwanted change, however, multitude individuals claim that all companies and citizens themselves are part of the solution. This essay will examine all arguments on this contentious issue under scrutiny prior to reaching an informed conclusion.

In “People or Penguins: The Case for Optimal Pollution”, William F Baxter argues the idea that we should take care of the environment only when doing so is in the best interest of mankind. Baxter argues this from an anthropocentric prosperity perspective. Baxter supports his claim by beginning his essay with four reasons for his anthropocentric preference, but his reasons only serve to influence solutions to issues that pertain to human organization. The goals work to benefit humans and completely leave out the ideas that animals have a right to live or that other parts of nature should remain undisturbed. William F Baxter tell us, “I reject the idea that there is a ‘right’ or ‘morally correct’ state of nature to which we should return” and that “The word ‘nature” has no normative connation” (Baxter, 1974, 383).
