Scenario:

John is an 18-year-old freshman at New York University. John was the starting quarterback at his high school in a small town in Indiana. He enjoys playing sports and hanging out with friends. John has always been popular and done well in school and sports. Once he is comfortable in his surroundings he can be confident in what he is doing.

Donnie is an 18-year-old freshman from Chicago attending Iowa State. Donnie spends most of his time playing his guitar and writing music. In high school he had a few close friends but his attention was mainly focused on his studies and his music. He has little trouble expressing himself and enjoys doing so on stage while playing in his band. Donnie is determined to earn a degree and find a career in playing, writing, or producing music.

Response:

In 200 to 300 words provide an opinion on who would be more likely to be persuaded by peer pressures such as drinking, drug use, skipping class, and other irresponsible behavior in a new city. Then, provide your reasoning on why you chose either John or Donnie as more likely to conform to his new social situation. Reference the factors that influence persuasion and conformity discussed in your text.

I believe the person that would be the most likely to persuaded into drinking and other issues would be the “jock”. I say this because he is popular with everyone and for some people to maintain the level of popularity means doing risky things like drinking or bending the rules (law) in order to get the attention of others. Popularity is a big stressor for anyone and when the label of Mr. Popular aka starting quarterback intensifies the stress level even more. Donnie seems to be much more focused on his music as well as earning a degree and a job. I also believe the Donnie has social anxiety issues. With just a few close friends and his determination on earning a degree and his music interest makes the changes of Donnie being wild child and drinking are much less than the jock. Who seems to be more into hanging out with his friends than putting his studies before pleasure. When it boils down to it John does not have his priorities in order because of what seems to be the lack of interest in putting his studies and future before sports and hanging out with this friends. Which Donnie is the complete opposite!

...Danielle Parlanti 8/29/2014 NT1230 Mod 5 Project: Part 2 A server is a computer meant to be a dedicated service provider, and a client is a computer that requests services. This office is going to have a file server which is a server that can centrally locate shared files, and can be accessed by multiple users. This is going to be helpful so that the different departments and users can communicate. Since the users are using Microsoft Windows they will be using Server Message Block to provide file sharing. I will also set up a print server so that they can all print to a common printer. Multiple users can access this printer using print services. This way they can save money and just buy one good printer that the whole office can access. The printer can be accessed as a network printer that is connected to a network through a Windows server using server message block. Printing services is important for every department so maybe buying a couple extra printers would be helpful. The office will also need a web server. Each department will need to be able to access the web for several reasons. They can do research over the internet which will probably be used by nurses to lookup various medical information. They can also provide customer service support over the internet. They can also use the web server to access, and run reports. Because we are using Microsoft, they provide web services using the Internet Information Services. We will use a standard web browser...

...1920s Text Set Atlantic Fever by Joe Jackson A fast-paced, dynamic account of the race to cross the Atlantic, and the larger-than-life personalities of the aviators who captured the world's attention In 1919, a prize of $25,000 was offered to the first aviator to cross the Atlantic in either direction between France and America. Although it was one of the most coveted prizes in the world, it sat unclaimed (not without efforts) for eight long years, until the spring of 1927. It was then, during five incredibly tense weeks, that one of those magical windows in history opened, when there occurred a nexus of technology, innovation, character, and spirit that led so many contenders (from different parts of the world) to all suddenly be on the cusp of the exact same achievement at the exact same time. Atlantic Fever is about the race; it is a milestone in American history whose story has never been fully told. Richard Byrd, Noel Davis, Stanton Wooster, Clarence Chamberlin, Charles Levine, Rene; Fonck, Charles Nungesser, and François Coli--all had equal weight in the race with Charles Lindbergh. Although the story starts in September 1926 with the crash of the first competitor, or even further back with the 1919 establishment of the prize, its heart is found in a short period, those five weeks from April 14 to May 21, 1927, when the world held its breath and the aviators met their separate fates in the air. *525 pages *Adult/Young Adult *5 copies available The Diviners by...

Definition Essay: What Is Truth?

...would mind that his real name appears.” So, for almost the entire book, the truth was that Norman was a real person that O’Brien wanted to be in the novel. Then, in the end, the truth is that he wasn’t a real man at all and with this quote the truth changes back to the belief that he is a real man. The truth was fluid in this instance because it changed how the reader viewed the characters reality. Finally, truth can be ambiguous. Authors can express themselves through stories and to get the authentic feeling that they had in the moment, they have to embellish the story. O’Brien says it best when he says “It's time to be blunt… I want you to feel what I felt. I want you to know why story-truth is truer sometimes than happening-truth (pg. BLAAA).” Whoever is trying to convey a story might have to choose to fabricate parts of the “happening-truth” to properly express the story-truth. An audience may never be able to relate to a story or understand the feeling of the story how it actually happened, and by telling what actually happened, you are actually lying because you aren’t conveying the story how it actually felt in the moment. So, even though truth may not have been a subject up for debate lately, it doesn’t mean we can’t reflect of the meaning of it and its importance in storytelling. The Things They Carried is a perfect example of how all three versions of truth can mesh to create one muddied version of the truth. None of us will know if O’Brien wrote entirely truthful stories...
