...First & Last Name First & Last Name English 101/Section # Date Essay #2 The Committer vs. the Non-Committer There are many types of men in the world, and each type displays a variety of distinguishable characteristics. Women should become aware of these characteristics before considering a prospective mate. The smallest of personal details, from where and how they met (including the first date), the way he walks and talks, the clothes he wears, the career choice he's made, the vacation spots he frequents, or the automobile he drives can offer valuable, meaningful, insightful clues to whether or not a man will ever settle down with anyone. There are two main types of men in the world: the committer and the non-committer. The committer is serious about finding the right woman. He asks friends and relatives for introductions. He is usually open to blind dates and avoids the bar scene when looking for a quality woman. On the first date, he is polite and will not bring up the subject of money at the restaurant. He takes her to places where they can talk one-on-one. The non-committer is just looking for a woman. There is no room in his life for the woman. He, on the other hand, loves the bar scene. He usually finds a million excuses why he can't find the right woman and uses such excuses to explain why he is still unattached. On a date, he orders trendy food such as sushi to impress his date, and he monopolizes the conversation. He may even take her to places where...

...fathers,it clearly begins by explaining why it was established and the underlying reason of protecting and upholding the fundamental values and interests of the American people.It starts by declaring “We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America”(The constitution,1787). In article one, it talks of the representation of all the states and rotational election of senators(which I think is important in a democratic government) as well as the making of the necessary laws empowering the government in its execution of the constitution. In article two, it points out clearly that the president has to be a natural born citizen of this country(one of the ongoing political issues with the republicans that the current president is not). Section four of the same article emphasizes on what Thomas Jefferson said in our earlier readings that a government that is destructive of society,or does not conduct or...

...PROFESSIONS FOR WOMEN by Virginia Woolf “Professions for Women” is an abbreviated version of the speech Virginia Woolf delivered before a branch of the National Society for Women’s Service on January 21, 1931; it was published posthumously in The Death of the Moth and Other Essays. On the day before the speech, she wrote in her diary: “I have this moment, while having my bath, conceived an entire new book—a sequel to a Room of One’s Own—about the sexual life of women: to be called Professions for Women perhaps—Lord how exciting!” More than a year and a half later, on October 11, 1932, Virginia Woolf began to write her new book: “THE PARGITERS: An Essay based upon a paper read to the London/National Society for women’s service.” “The Pargiters” evolved into The Years and was published in 1937. The book that eventually did become the sequel to A Room of One’s Own was Three Guineas (1938), and its first working title was “Professions for Women.” The essay printed here concentrates on that Victorian phantom known as the Angel in the House (borrowed from Coventry Patmore’s poem celebrating domestic bliss)—that selfless, sacrificial woman in the nineteenth century whose sole purpose in life was to soothe, to flatter, and to comfort the male half of the world’s population. “Killing the Angel in the House,” wrote Virginia Woolf, “was part of the occupation of a woman writer.” That has proved to be a prophetic statement, for today, not only in the domain of letters, but in the entire...

...self-perception is a major obstacle. It is also necessary to continually challenge yourself. Also set goals, and reward levels for those goals. Regardless of the profession a woman choses one will have its own set of obstacles that must be overcome and shared in order to lend way for other women to follow. * Most young girls like to play house and pretend they are the mother to their baby dolls. Through cartoons where the princess are always saved by the prince or the man choses a wife are all examples of where the perception of self comes to play. This is depicted in doing battle with a certain phantom. The phantom is named “The Angel in the House”. This Angel is a symbolism of the perception instilled in a lot of women. Men are an authority figure and it is not acceptable to go against or question their word. The woman should be demure, unselfish, understanding, and sympathetic even if it is to her own expense. The Angel of the House would constantly remind that a review of a man’s literature cannot be dealt with openly by a woman. So the Angel had to be killed. * Being able to have meet the challenges of becoming a paid journalist. Brought the desire to strive for the next level. The earnings from the book review were used to purchase a Persian cat. The next desired reward would be a motor car. Writing a novel would be the next goal. Again this experience brought an unconscious double standard perception to light. The ability for men to speak about passion, sex and the body...

A Review of the Literature Alex Esomonu Thompson River University Authors Note This paper was prepared for ENG 1100, taught my… Abstract The name Adolf Hitler will remain in the minds of many for years to come for his contributions in World War II. Born in Austria in 1889, Hitler rose to become the leader of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. He initiated World War II and oversaw fascist policies that resulted in millions of deaths. History gives account of many leaders whose actions will never be forgotten but the story of Hitler and his Nazis’ Germany is one that pricks the conscious mind on how Evil or monstrous Man can be. This paper looks at the word evil and its manifestations in the actions or inactions of Men as well as Adolf Hitler, his life and his actions in relationship with the word Evil and monstrous. Adolf Hitler Was Evil but Not Monstrous. A Review of the Literature Since the beginning of the world, Evil has existed and has been buried in the heart of Men. Virtually all religions support the existence of evil despite their various concepts of its existence. Over the years the word Evil and monstrous have been exemplified in the actions or inactions of men. Different...

... while an alien pleasure impairs the activity. The pleasure proper to a good activity is good, while the pleasure proper to a bad activity is evil. Just as each animal is thought to have a proper function, it also has a proper pleasure which corresponds to the activity of that function. The pleasures proper to human beings are those which correspond to the activity of a perfect and blessed man. Section 6: Let us review what has already been said about happiness. Happiness is an activity of some sort which is chosen for its own sake and is self-sufficient. Actions according to virtue are chosen for their own sake. Happiness is not found in amusement, for it would be absurd to argue that the goal of a person's life and work is amusement. Rather, amusement is chosen for the purpose of relaxation, which is necessary to enable a person to engage in serious work. Everything is thought to be chosen for the sake of something else except for happiness. A happy life is a life according to virtue. Section 7: Since it has already been established [in Book One] that happiness is an activity according to virtue, it is reasonable to posit that it is an activity according to the highest virtue, which would be an activity corresponding to the best part of man. The activity of the intellect is the best human activity, since it corresponds to the highest part of man, is concerned with the best objects, is the most continuous activity, is self-sufficient, and is loved for its own sake...

...Summary: In the essay, “The Godfather’s Essential Morality” by Louis Baxter it explains how The Godfather is very honest. Baxter states that this book is moral because it doesn’t portray the world to be something its not. It is very straight forward and shows human beings as they are. Baxter gives different examples of why he feels The Godfather is completely moral. In The Godfather Puzo presents several different social ironies, according to Baxter. His opinion about this book being moral came from the different accounts of social irionies that Puzo put forward. Things such as the family unit being key to surviving in the world, a poor immigrant that is truly honorable, or even characters not wasting time on the wishing wells of life. Baxter also elaborated on how The Godfather is often remembered as a story about criminals but with all the lessons taught in the book it is way more than that. Baxter’s review of this book shows how the story is much more complex than just a story about criminals. It shows how Baxter see’s the deep point of the book and its morality. Response: I agree with Baxter that The Godfather is a book based on morals and honesty. Puzo shows us many things that can coincide with my agreement. This novel is moral because it shows that having a family unit is very important to survival. From my own experience I can vouch that this is true, Without my family i woulnt have any support system and i would be on my own. I wouldnt be where i am today without...

...The Three Christs of Ypsilanti The Three Christs of Ypsilanti Book Report Psych The three christs of ypsilantiA Review of the literatureIn July 1959, Milton Rokeach conducted a psychological study at the Ypsilanti State Hospital in Michigan. This study followed three paranoid schizophrenics who all claimed to have something very important in common. Clyde Benson, Joseph Cassel, and Leon Gabor (who refused to answer to anything but Rex) each claimed to be Jesus Christ. This text documented the two years during the study. Rokeach attempted to maximize inter-Christ contact by assigning the three men to adjacent beds in Ward D-23, assigning them adjacent seats in the dining area, and arranging for them to work side-by-side in the laundry room. On one occasion, Rokeach asked the group why they were in the hospital, Clyde claimed that he owned the building and nearby lands, and that he stayed on as caretaker. Joseph explained that the hospital was an English stronghold, and that he was there to defend it. Leon, was the only one to acknowledge that he himself was a mental patient, but he stopped short of admitting to delusion. He blamed some ambiguous, jealous persecutors for subjecting him to the torment of a mental ward. Dr. Rokeach finally brought the Three Christs experiment to an end on August 15th 1961, just over two years after the first meeting of Clyde, Joseph, and Leon. None of the patients had improved, although by the time Rokeach departed Leon had indeed renounced...

...Food for Thought “No pain, no gain!” Many of us have heard this quote by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Have you thought to yourself, “How does or how can I apply this to me?” Well I have and I am on a journey to push my limits and achieve more in personal strength and my athletic abilities. All my life, I grew up playing sports. My fondest memories were those long hours spent in the gym practicing my pull-up jumper in basketball or those sweat and tears left behind on the school track. I live for competition and know that health and nutrition in bodybuilding is vital. To be a winner, one must be the fastest, strongest, and most trained. Our bodies are our engines, and we must put the correct fuel in them to keep them going to work at their full potential. The three well-known, tested workout meal plans that I have researched are: Arnold Schwarzenegger, P90X, and Johnny Ahl’s plan. This paper seeks to explore what each bodybuilding meal plan entails and how these popular plans compare and contrast. I will begin with the history of bodybuilding and nutrition; then I will break down each meal plan one by one and compare the plans. The goal of this research will be to find out what it requires to gain lean muscle mass for strength and performance in sports. In fact the website, www.bodybuilding.com has 162 articles on how bodybuilding can improve sport performance in many different sports. Giving clear studies and research on how muscle strength and training play a significant role...

...IR 3034: The Political theory of Peace and War. [pic] FIRST ESSAY: « For Machiavelli, the art of war is the supreme test of any polity, whether principality or republic ». Discuss Introduction: Quentin Skinner once argued that even if “Machiavelli died nearly 500 years ago, (…) his name lives on as a byword for cunning, duplicity, and the exercise of bad faith in political affairs”1. Indeed, there is no denying that Machiavelli stands probably as one of the most controversial thinker in the history of political theory. In fact, Skinner even argued that “the charge of being a Machiavellian remains a serious accusation in the political debate”2. As his biographers tell us, Machiavelli came from an Italian family which had been relatively important in the political life of Florence for a long time before his birth, in 1469. At 29 years old, he became second chancellor of the republic, without previous experience, a charge he will keep for more than fourteen years till the return of the Medici’s family. This experience as top official of the Florentine Republic had obviously a huge impact on the development of both his later life, characterized by a succession of disgraces and stroked of bad luck, and his thought. Indeed, as Maurizio Viroli asserts, “Machiavelli considered himself to be an expert on a special art which we call statecraft and he called “arte dello stato”3. There is no denying that, if we look at most of his writings, we will realize...
