This I Believe, Inc.: Article Analysis

The article “The Case for Fitting In” compares to my idea of conformity because I think that it means how you change your opinion due to social pressure. My idea of conformity relates to the article because it was talking about how when people were in a group and someone said the wrong answer they usually went with it. “Each subject saw 18 sets of lines, and the group answer was wrong for 12 of them” this proves that most of the time people went with the group rather than going with their personal opinion. I think that the article really compares with my definition of conformity because I think that it causes you to change your opinion and sometimes causes you to choose wrong answers. I also strongly think that the article agrees with me because

People around the world consume numerous goods every day. There are several things that determine what quantities and how frequently they are consumed and those influences can either work in tandem or act individually to influence a person. It is these foundations that set an average for what consumers will purchase and the volume of goods to be created by agriculturalists and industrialists. This is known as economic consumption patterns, and these patterns are carefully studied by economists. With the data that they glean from this assessment economists can then use that information to provide the economy with data

The captions “Cormac McCarthy’s Ex-Wife Pulls Gun From Her Vagina, Threatens to Shoot Boyfriend”, and “Novelist's Ex In Bizarre Handgun Threat Arrest” are used to incite interest among readers regardless of the factuality of the above statements. To distinguish truth past what is provided requires an individual to delve deeper into the topic of conversation rather than absorb such at face value.

In the hot days near the end of June 1998, my mother dealt with me kicking inside of her stomach. Similarly, in Washington, D.C., Senator John McCain dealt with figurative kicks in the stomach as the bill he created was being shut down. Determined and persuasive, big tobacco companies aimed their advertisements at teenagers more than ever before. Some members of Congress wanted to end the advertising, while others thought about the upcoming November election and did not want to be put on the bad side of big tobacco companies, who were some of their major campaign backers. Back in Louisville, Kentucky, my dad sat with my very pregnant mother; at the same time, he held a cigarette between his teeth and read the Courier Journal, which read all about the tobacco bill. During the last few weeks of my mother’s pregnancy, tobacco was the topic; specifically, Senator McCain’s tobacco bill, Kentucky analyzed how the tobacco bill

How can an actor improve? Well while referring to Geoff Colvin’s article our focus is on the main importance of how to be great. One way you can become great through acting, is by practicing every day, but not any ordinary practice, but deliberate mind stressing hard work. For example by practicing in front of groups of people the actor will have better confidence on the stage. The actor will also need to recite their lines so that they know them. Another example for reciting your lines could be, having someone read the lines before yours, and then you could recite the lines after listening to that person, and every time you mess up you can have them reread your lines until you can recite them without looking at your lines, and without making

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).

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. Their result shows that the poorest of older households experience a reduction in grocery and food expenditures to pay the extra cost of heating during the worst temperature

In this week’s journal we were assigned reading in the They Say, I Say book. The assigned reading was to teach us how to write papers in an argumentative form, either agreeing with a statement, disagreeing, or a little of both. As explained in our chapter often writers are afraid to argue a statement, based on the fact that they feel as if they do not have enough knowledge about the information. The question to be answered in this journal is, how do I see myself as an arguer?

JET Magazine and Huffington Post BlackVoices have been major media outlets in the black community. They are influential in their efforts to promote African-American news, culture, entertainment and opinion within the black community. These two media outlets have made great strides in the world of the black press and the advancement of black people.

In an ever changing world we have seen the number and complexity of languages become reduced. In a Wall Street Journal article entitled What the World Will Speak in 2115, John H. McWhorter advocates for the world to see these changes as necessary and a way for communication worldwide to become more efficient and simplified. McWhorter shows how language has been streamlined for centuries as a way for citizens to adapt rather than viewed as an extinction of culture. Modern English is likely to become the dominant language worldwide but more so for the fact that it can be easily learned and is open to transformation with the times. Despite the fears of a world where lingual diversity is reduced, McWhorter suggests that there will still be variation to promote culture and communication with people from all backgrounds will be easier. The following is a summary and analysis of McWhorter’s main points describing the simplification of language. Following the summary of main points will be a hypothetical situation in what the world language could consist of 100 years from now.

This semester I had the opportunity to choose and edit a Wikipedia page article. Essentially, almost any person can edit any Wikipedia article but there are certain guidelines a user must go by to have successful edits. I could have chosen over 5 million articles to revise and I chose the article titled sock monkey. Editing the sock monkey article required organization, research, and follow-ups so that this process can produce a successful edit. My first step was to choose an article to edit and I discovered this page and I thought it could use improvements. Next, I organized a list of possible changes I could make. Then, I researched the sock monkey’s origins, popularity, and presence in pop culture. Lastly, I edited the actual Wikipedia page.

The journal was very descriptive; however, the way of writing back then was difficult to read. The natural resources that Smith described was the “minerals, rivers, rocks, nations, woods, fishings, fruites, victual, and what other commodities the land afforded.” The way they dealt with the salvages did not seem very peaceful to me. I think they were having trouble keeping peace with the natives by the way Smith said “to express all our quarrels, treacheries and encounters amongst those Salvages.” I think the story of the stingray was to tell the reason behind the island being named. I find that the men did not know how to properly fish was interesting part of the journal.

In this article MacCoun discusses the strategies and integration of harm reduction, prevalence reduction and quantity reduction in the United States. MacCoun also discusses the opposition side and hostility that is usually met against harm reduction interventions.

The content of the newspaper article that written by Fortin (2017) seems to be more contributed to the society while the content of blog article that written by Anna (2015) is leaking of meaning to the society. The content of the article of Fortin (2017) help to generate the awareness of society on the cases of human trafficking. For instance, Ms. Hubbard described some of the symptoms of the suspected victim. If there are any young passengers who look disoriented, refuse to make eye contact or act oddly subservient to a traveling companion. He or she might be one of the victims of human trafficking. Next, Fortin cited that “If someone is being held against their will, then a crime is being committed inside my airplane,” she said. “So it is my responsibility to make sure that these people — whose

The Journal Gazette is the morning daily paper in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It distributes seven days a week, and with a few remote authorities, battles for flow and publicizing in a 15-district range. The Journal Gazette is free, yet it was adjusted to the Democratic party until 1973. One of its long-lasting accomplices was Democratic Governor Paul V. McNutt, who acquired his enthusiasm for the daily paper while Indiana
