Bruce Dawe, one of the most influential Australian poets of his time was known for using his poems as a way to efficiently discuss the matters in society of his time and how this follows through generation, thus becoming a significant matter for his modern audience. Both Dawe’s poems The Not So Good Earth and Up The Wall have successfully demonstrated the issues of the complacency of our society towards the world around us and their issues and the disconnection this thenceforth creates in everyday life and how this impacts the individual. Dawe’s poem, Up The Wall, truly validates the impact of the suburban, everyday lifestyle on the individual and how the loneliness this creates can push someone to the edge. Dawe’s use of onomatopoeia with the abrupt words of “shrieked” and “screams” really imposes that internal struggle the woman was experiencing.

Kathryn Schulz wrote the article “The Really Big One” to introduce people to the natural disasters that are coming. Schulz urges audience to understand that the catastrophe might ruin people’s lives at any moment and no one would be prepared for it emotionally or physically. She explains to everyone that within the years the natural disasters are getting stronger than they were before the global warming. The author wants to show how each year there are more natural disasters. Schulz strengthens her argument by telling people that the earthquakes or tsunamis can come their way and ruin everything they worked. To inform the readers, she uses robust overall structure, imagery, tone, and syntax.

“I am here to start a fight, because I’m a man and that’s how I solve problems” (Phillips) The main argument presented in Brian Phillips’s essay “Man Up” is what ‘being a man’ means in the football world. In football, being a man means dealing with your problems and not being afraid to fight back physically. Phillips says that football players put on this tough guy act on the field, they fight like real men, and do not run from their problems. In this essay, Phillips argues against this idea of toughness by redefining it. All aspects of football, not just the player, but the networks and the fans treat football as a man’s sport. Phillips addresses mental/emotional issues as a problem in football by describing the abusive relationship between Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin. Since football is a man's sport, emotional issues are just unacceptable, but Phillips challenges this idea.

Punished was written by Victor Rios and published in 2011. Rios wrote the book to chronicle the challenges young black and Latino boys faced within their improvised highly criminalized neighborhoods. Rios grew up in Oakland California and lived in what was considered the ghettos mainly a minority poor community; he was also a gang member with his fair share of trouble. Rios began looking for answers to the plights he and his community faced after the murder of his friend while they ran from a rival gang member. A conversation with the police whom Rios claimed told him they wanted the gangs to kill each other off made him seek answers to the prevalence of violence that plagues his community.

The foundation of today’s society is not in immense chaos or destruction, but rather in an organizational order because of the choice in obedience. As depicted in the movie, “A Few Good Men”, obedience is questioned due to soldiers choosing to obey or not when it presents the case of Lance Cpl. Harold Dawson and Pfc. Louden Downey being disciplined for committing a crime, even if they were only following orders. Eric Fromm, a social psychologist and psychoanalyst, furthers points in whether it is permissible to commit a crime under the pretext of obeying orders in his article, “Disobedience as a Psychological and Moral Problem”. Comparatively, Stanley Milgram, a Yale psychologist, addresses obedience overriding

The book Leading From the Second Chair discusses what it is like to lead from the second chair. This was a semi-new concept for me. I have always heard of leadership and know that it is something special, however, I never thought of leading from the second chair. This phrase means being a leader but not the person in charge. This is something that is foreign to me. I have always though that a leader is in charge of their section and other leaders are in charge of their section and eventually they come together to put it all together. However, though going through the experience of my internship and going through this book and leadership class I have learned that this is not the case. When you lead from the second chair you are

After viewing Peter Mansbridge's interviews with the three party leaders, it's clear that all of them are looking forward to strengthening Canada's financial aspect but the fact of the matter is that there is only so much realism you can see from only three men in a span of thirty minutes. However, if one is called upon to identify the most convincing one, I would go with Stephen Harper. My opinion is based solely on his willingness and desire to fulfill his promises directly from the national budget; and his ideology where admitting large quantities of refugees into the country is not a solution but rather a never-ending process; and finally, he wants to keep taxation rates below what it is now. This is not to say that the others don't offer

Racial hatred is prejudice and hostility targeting groups of color or ethnic backgrounds in various ways. “Night” by Elie Wiesel is a story about the author's experience during the Holocaust and how he survived through the harsh treatment of the concentration camps. Paul Rusesabagina’s “From An Ordinary Man” is about how the author saved many people from an ongoing tribe attack by putting them in his hotel. In Elie Wiesel’s “Night”and Paul Rusesabagina's “From An Ordinary Man”, both the author's use of overall purpose, theme, and use of rhetoric help tell the stories of survivors.

From the stories, I chose, ‘The Man from Snowy River’ by Banjo Patterson and ‘Guo Nian’ by Chinese Mythology both stories show totally different cultures form what we live in today.

The thought church is an exciting place to do ministry and experience the grace of God in community.in addition, the want their church to be a place where people can find they love of Jesus Christ.

In the film “Little Big Man” cinematic aspects of the scene Battle of Little Bighorn are used to portray the intensity and violence that was felt by those men in this tragic moment of history. To begin with as this scene builds the colors of both the men and their surroundings are very dull, there are no bright colors as to exemplify that all of these details are the back ground for what is unfolding. However immediately as battle begins every time that there is blood the red is extremely bright vibrant, the attention is drawn to any moment there is blood. This is an intentional attention grabber as the blood shows the view that this battle is bloody, violent, and graphic. Along with the colors the filming techniques emphasize on certain aspects
