The UT Girl: The Nature Of Choices

Forensic Analysis of Connecticut v Amero Jesus Cuellar American Military University ISSC351 Michael Lewis Abstract People in today’s society want to blame everything that happens on someone. If there is no discernable culprit, mob mentality will take over and that mob will eventually point the blame toward someone or something. Regardless of whether or

Decisions are what direct a average person's life. Some decisions are easy some are hard. But that’s the way of life and how it works. The book “Lyddie” was made by Katherine Patterson. The book “Lyddie” is about a girl named Lyddie and her family. In Lyddie’s life she has

Today, we can find tabloids and magazines on shelves of supermarkets or kiosks with pictures of celebrities or occasionally normal people who do not realize that they were photographed while they were in their home or enjoying their vacations. The motivation for those photographers who take those photos are probably the same which motivated Darwin Bonaparte to film John in the novel “Brave New World”. They aspire to be famous and wealthy. They are truly selfish, irresponsible and materialistic. Indeed, they gravely violate the right of those people to have privacy. For example, an article published in the USA Today mentions and presents different opinions about it,

Having a plethora of choice may appear to promote the freedom of individuals, but when the quantity of choices a person is required to make becomes overloaded, the pressure builds and that “sense of freedom” becomes a sense of entrapment. There are so many choices available that there are going to be both

Sometimes the hardest decisions are the most important, and are the ones that shape and sculpt your journey through life. Whenever I am faced with a dilemma, like whether to start a new episode of The Office on Netflix or to proofread my global history essay, I remember to take a step back to better analyze the situation which, at times can change my perspective.

Having choices can sometime leave a negative result that could affect others. Because of some individuals who could have caused problems for society,or because of strict individuals working for the government, choices are sometimes limited to the privileged. But it can cause problems for individuals who need the ability to

“Opportunity Cost” Every day of our lives, we make choices. Some of these choices are very difficult, while others might be so easy that they are subconscious. Each decision we make comes with a downfall. That is the next best option we could have chosen or what we call the opportunity cost of making the decision that we did!

In “Blame Photo Thieves, Not the Female Victim,” columnist Leonard Pitts Jr. expresses his perspective that while it is biologically natural for heterosexual men, regardless of occupation or personal beliefs, to find scantily clad women attractive, it should be a woman’s choice of whether to pose naked for the public or not. Pitts believes that a violation occurs when women are denied that choice and have personal nudes leaked over the internet, such as in recent cases involving Jenifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Kirsen Dunst, and other high profile celebrities. Pitts claims that blaming the females for taking the photographs or placing them on an unreliable cloud would be similar to blaming the rape victim and the fault therefore lies with the perpetrator. Here, Pitt’s comments on the shrinking of the public sphere and

Ana Veciana-Suarez’s article titled, “A Senior’s Photo is Too Sexy for the School Yearbook” is an opinion filled piece about a senior’s controversial yearbook picture. The controversial picture is that of Sydney Spies, a 18-year-old high-school student. In the picture, the young woman is wearing a cropped black top, a yellow miniskirt and is posing with her leg propped on a black staircase. There has been a lot of backlash against the picture. Many people agree that the picture is too revealing and is inappropriate for a high school yearbook. Suarez, the author of this article voices her opinion not only as the mother of a high-school student, but also as a previous attendee of a Catholic high school. Suarez’s opinion in the article arises from her personal experience; she utilizes her own yearbook picture as well as her son’s yearbook to show that Sydney Spies’ picture is too risqué and is therefore, extremely inappropriate. The article, “A Senior’s Photo is Too Sexy for the School Yearbook” is poorly supported with little to no credibility; the article contains logical fallacies such as Ad Hominem, appeal to emotion and appeal to the people. The logical fallacies along with the overall lack of appeals (ethos, logos and pathos) make Suarez’s argument ineffective and poorly executed.

One word that is powerful known to man is the word “choice.” In our lifetime, we are bombarded with choices so that we have to make in order to help shape our lives. We don’t know if our rights will outweigh our wrongs but we have to try. Commonly we are held to culture value. What I mean by that is, we typically set standards on several scales of right or wrong, acceptable or unacceptable to important or unimportant within society. However, along with these set standards, we’re still held accountable for what we do. Our personal responsibility of willingness to accept these standards will help separate us from our peers by inheriting integrity, showing deed, in order to ease any burdens we may encounter. Abiding by these principles, can help shape us into becoming a better person than were perceived to be.

Children learn from experience, not sermons. If we want to teach our children how to choose wisely, we must give them opportunities to choose and, if necessary, to make mistakes.

The Birth of a Moral Dilemma in “The Guest” People choose every day in different circumstances and degrees either small imperceptible one, such as the color of the shirt that they will wear, or huge emotional and moral dilemmas like an abort or a high-risk surgery. Nonetheless, there is always a decision made that has its consequences (want or not). Albert Camus uses characterization to address the importance of choices.

The circumstance presented to us involved Jane consuming alcohol and removing her top at a party. After realizing what she has done, she immediately puts her shirt back on. However, Joe took pictures of Jane and posted them on his personal website. Jane politely asks Joe to remove the photographs

If intelligent personal choices are not well-built, the conflicts can one or the other have a positive or negative conclusion. In Williams “The

The connection between pornography and rape has always been a contentious one. Some feminists like Catharine Mackinnon have long argued that pornography directly leads to the rape; that pornography by its very nature is an expression of and endorsement of sexual violence that effectively deprives women of their rights. Others such as Wendy McElroy and J.S. Mill have argued just as forcefully that the importance of free speech takes precedence in any debate about this issue and even, in McElroy’s case, that pornography is actually socially beneficial in a number of ways. The authors of the scientific study excerpted in the case study “Pornography and Rape” seek to evaluate this supposed link in an empirical manner, and the findings of their study lead them to the conclusion that the evidence “would seem sufficient to discard the hypothesis that pornography causes rape.”
