1. The nation is at war, and your number in the recently reinstated military draft has just come up. The problem is that, after serious reflection, you have concluded that the war is unjust. What advice might Socrates give you? Would you agree? What might you decide to do? Read the Introduction, Chapter 2 Crito and the Conclusion Chapter 40 Phaedo by Plato.

Matt Lamkin’s “A Ban On Brain-Boosting Drugs is Not the Answer” first appeared in Chronicle of Higher Education in 2011. In this essay Lamkin aims to convince his reader not to deter improper conduct with threats, but to encourage students to engage in the practice of education. Lamkin tells us “If colleges believe that enhancing cognition with drugs deprives students of the true value of education, they must encourage students to adapt that value as their own” (642). Appeal to logic, consistency, and compare/contrast are techniques Lamkin skillfully uses to create a strong effective essay.

Etiquette is important because if people dont have proper etiquette then the disrescpect will hurt and it will lead to violence. The defintion of etiquette is the practices and forms prescribed by social convention or by authority. The history of etiquette started with the Maxims.The Maxims were conformist precepts extolling such civil virtues as truthfulness, self-control and kindness towards one's fellow beings. Learning by listening to everybody and knowing that human knowledge is never perfect are a leitmotif or theme associated throughout a music drama with a particular person, situation, or idea. Avoiding open conflict wherever possible should not be considered weakness. Justice should be pursued and in

My interest for the Attorney Advisor position with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) arises from my longstanding commitment to constantly improve myself. I have always enjoyed legal research, writing, and the complexities of intellectual property. I have no doubt that my enthusiasm to research, my eagerness to learn, and my strong ability to communicate clearly, work efficiently, accurately, and quickly, will make me an invaluable asset to the USPTO. I believe these traits combined with my unique skillset, developed as a result of experiences working for the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball (Diamondbacks), Nike Inc. (Nike), and the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, Liability Management Department (AG Office)

Framing as defined by Robert Entman is “to frame a communicating text or message is to promote certain facets of a ‘perceived reality’ and make them more salient in such a way that endorses a specific problem definition, casual interpretation, moral evaluation, and/or a treatment recommendation (Cissel 68).” Framing is an extension of agenda-setting, which is when the media tells us what to think about (Sparks 228).

1. Which accounting method best reflects the economic reality? Put another way, which accounting numbers – the GAAP or non-GAAP numbers best reflects economic reality? [10 points]

The Tropfest films Road Rage (2006) and Lemonade Stand (2012) both represent Australian stories and Australian voices. Both of the films explore the representation of Australians and show many different aspects of Australian culture. The film Road Rage expounds a different more emotional side to the typical stereotype of Australian men. Lemonade Stand also represents Australian culture, through the use of themes such as mateship and the Aussie Battler. Both of the films through the use of mis-en-scene and a variety of different visual and oral techniques show key aspects of Australian culture,

The cost of college tuition is continually on the rise and has placed many burdens on high school students as well as their families. Some of the burdens that are placed are a result of parents putting pressure on their children to earn scholarships. Some of the burden is a result of students putting pressure on themselves to earn scholarships. Then, there is the burden of high college debt once the student graduates. Is this pressure really helping our students or is it hurting them? The bottom line is college tuition is skyrocketing out of control and something must be done before it destroys our families and our children.

Framing the argument, essentially choosing a side of your argument and attempting to influence the reader to believe the same as you. You must state your argument in a very clear and precise manner so the reader has no reason to doubt you. After choosing a specific argument, researching the points to help prove the assumptions will become an easier task. Until a decision on how to frame the argument has been made, it seems impossible to attempt to convince others. You must first have all the evidence to support your framing.

This year’s U.S. News and World Report’s top ranked universities in America: #1 Princeton University, #2 Harvard University, #3 University of Chicago. For many aspiring high school students, being admitted into these elite universities has become nothing less than an infatuation. However, many believe an elite education may actually have negative effects on young adults. Echoed in, “Don’t Send Your Kids To The Ivy League” by William Deresiewicz, he uses elements of ethos and pathos to effectively argue that students who attend highly competitive universities may actually be harmed by transforming into people who are “anxious, timid, lost, with little curiosity and a stunted sense of purpose.”

The way I have interpreted framing throughout research is that it deals a lot more with a person’s morals and values than agenda setting does. Agenda setting is more, “this is what you see most often so it’s what you’re going to assume most often,” whereas with framing it’s telling you how to think instead of only what to think. The reason I chose the poll about immigration for an example of framing is because I feel as though the topic of immigration and whether or not people think it’s a negative thing relies more on people’s values and those values can easily be shaped by how the media is trying to persuade people to think that immigrants are bad and a problem, especially when our own president has such deep and negative ideals towards them. Agenda setting and framing are very similar but I just feel as though framing has more depth and a larger effect and influence on the

     In the story Perceval edited by Roger Sherman Loomis and Laura Hibbard Loomis, Perceval the main character has many adventures, in which he learns many lessons about life.

The doctor-patient relationship always has been and will remain an essential basis of care, in which high quality information is gathered and procedures are made as well as provided. This relationship is a critical foundation to medical ethics that all doctors should attempt to follow and live by. Patients must also have confidence in their physicians to trust the solutions and work around created to counter act certain illnesses and disease. Doctor-patient relationships can directly be observed in both the stories and poems of Dr. William Carlos Williams as well as in the clinical tales of Dr. Oliver Sacks. Both of these doctors have very similar and diverse relationships with multiple patients

Framing isn’t just the gathering of that information. Framing is gathering, rebuilding, and visualizing information so that it’s easily grasped by everyone in the room, and serves as a useful tool for further identifying opportunities. The importance of clear and impactful visual representations will crop up again during later synthesis.

Laziness and cowardice are the reasons why so great a portion of mankind, after nature has long since discharged them from external direction (naturaliter maiorennes [those who come of age by virtue of nature]), nevertheless remains under lifelong tutelage, and why it is so easy for others to set themselves up as their guardians. It is so easy not to be of age. If I have a book that understands for me, a pastor who has a conscience for me, a physician who decides my diet, and so forth, I need not trouble myself. I need not think, if I can only pay -- others will easily undertake the irksome work for me. That the step to competence is held to be very dangerous by the far greater portion of mankind (and by the entire fair sex) -- quite apart from its being arduous is seen to by those guardians who have so kindly assumed superintendence over them. After the guardians have first made their domestic cattle dumb and have made sure that these placid creatures will not dare take a single step without the harness of the cart to which they are tethered, the guardians then show them the danger which threatens if they try to go alone. Actually, however, this danger is not so great, for by falling a few times they would finally learn to walk alone. But an example of this failure makes them timid and ordinarily frightens them away from all further trials.
