Daniel Bagwell Ms. Waggoner English 111 15 November 2000 A View on Music and the Government The censorship of music and other forms of entertainment by the government have long been the topic of discussion among social and political circles. Some forms of censorship such as warning labels for parents can be helpful. However the censorship of music is just not right, and the government has no right to do so. All too often the government gets on a self righteous feeling and thinks that it is it’s right to control what goes in or out of this so called “free nation’s” minds. Censorship in music falls into one of those categories in which the American people and the American government, which is supposed to be a representation of the people, have extremely conflicting ideas on the subject. Some say that the government should regulate the music industry. They say that the American people don’t know what is best for them as a whole. Their proof is in the increase in violence, crime, Unadulterated...

...In this essay, I will discuss the physical and psychological needs of a three year old and how to meet these in a setting. For the development of a child, both physical and psychological needs are very important. As a learning practitioner it is fundamental to understand these two aspects, for when nurtured in harmony, it creates a responsive child. The children’s growth is dependent to some factors such as genetics and interactions with his environment. There have been studies with regards on how physical and psychological needs affects the children from infant to adulthood. There are key developmental transitions in physical development and three year olds are categorized as walkers, talkers and pretenders (Macleod-Brudenell & Kay 2008 p86). To further explain physical and psychological needs, let us define the word need? It is a noun that means “requirement; circumstances requiring action” (Waite, 1998 p423). This research is mostly based on the MCI Modules 4 & 5 Contemporary Issues and Advanced Early Years 2nd Edition. The Physical needs of three year olds are of utmost importance since they are in the middle of their growth from infancy and an older child. A child will need proper nourishment, exercise that is for his age, ample rest and sleep, playing and learning, hygiene and health and safety. These needs are mainly to have a strong physical body for better physical development. A three year old will often want to merge their skills by doing an action repeatedly. Hygiene...

...(Narrative Essay) JUDY BRADY I Want a Wife (1971) Judy Brady’s essay became an instant classic when it appeared in 1971 in the premier issue of the feminist magazine Ms. As you read, analyze the definitions of “husband” and “wife” that Brady uses, and consider why this essay became so powerful in the 1970s. I belong to that classification of people known as wives. I am A Wife. And, not altogether incidentally, I am a mother. Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a recent divorce. He had one child, who is, of course, with his ex-wife. He is looking for another wife. As I thought about him while I was ironing one evening, it suddenly occurred to me that I, too, would like to have a wife. Why do I want a wife? I would like to go back to school so that I can become economically independent, support myself, and, if need be, support those dependent upon me. I want a wife who will work and send me to school. And while I am going to school I want a wife to take care of my children. I want a wife to keep track of the children’s doctor and dentist appointments. And to keep track of mine, too. I want a wife to make sure my children eat properly and are kept clean. I want a wife who will wash the children’s clothes and keep them mended. I want a wife who is a good nurturant attendant to my children, who arranges for their schooling, makes sure that they have an adequate social life with their peers, takes them to the park, the zoo, etc. I want a...

...this situation sounds familiar, you may find it reassuring to know that many professionals undergo these same strange compulsions before they begin writing. Jean Kerr, author of Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, admits that she often finds herself in the kitchen reading soup-can labels—or anything—in order to prolong the moments before taking pen in hand. John C. Calhoun, vice president under Andrew Jackson, insisted he had to plow his fields before he could write, and Joseph Conrad, author of Lord Jim and other novels, is said to have cried on occasion from the sheer dread of sitting down to compose his stories. To spare you as much hand-wringing as possible, this chapter presents some practical suggestions on how to begin writing your short essay. Although all writers must find the methods that work best for them, you may find some of the following ideas helpful. But no matter how you actually begin putting words on paper, it is absolutely essential to maintain two basic ideas concerning your writing task. Before you write a single sentence, you should always remind yourself that 1. You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader, and 2. More than anything, you want to communicate those ideas to your reader. These reminders may seem obvious to you, but without a solid commitment to your own opinions as well as to your reader, your prose will be lifeless and boring. If you don’t care about your subject, you can’t very well expect anyone else to. Have confidence that your ideas are...

...Tony Stark is no Superman Tony Stark is Iron Man, but he wasn’t always the high flying supersonic hero we all know. Before becoming Iron Man, Tony was a self-centered, alcoholic playboy billionaire. He was also a genius that accomplished more than most children will attain in their lifetime. At the age of four Tony built his first circuit board, when he was seven he assembled his first engine. He also graduated with top honors from MIT at the age of seventeen. It was technology and his brilliant mind that brought us the super-hero we know as Iron Man. Iron Man is a picture of how advanced the world is in the 21st century unlike the Superman of Smallville. Superman was as Gary Engle says in his essay “What Makes Superman So Darned American” an immigrant and an orphan after his parents rocketed him to earth before his home planet of Krypton exploded. Superman, soon to be known as Clark Kent, the name given to him by the farmer who found him, was born with his super powers. Super human strength, the ability to fly and his super senses were all he needed to battle crime and evil in the 20th century. In the 21st century we have all kinds of computerized luxuries that will do just about anything people need them to do. GPS for example, satellites can give us our exact location at any given time, give us directions, and even track packages we are expecting. The advanced technologies haven filtered into our super-heroes. The improved conquers of the world have...

...Color of Politics An Essay by Charles Ebeling Presented at the Chicago Literary Club Election Eve, November 5, 2012 Copyright 2012 Charles Ebeling Dedicated to the memory of my good friend and neighbor Marshall J. Goldsmith Who was my guest at the Literary Club, October 24, 2011 Some us recall a great 1986 film called “The Color of Money,” and no, cynics, it wasn’t about politics. That film earned Paul Newman the Oscar for Best Actor as a pool hustler and stakehorse, who enjoyed a glass or two of J.T.S. Brown Kentucky bourbon, my favorite beverage from college days. But, unless I’ve missed a documentary or foreign film along these lines, I haven’t yet seen a dramatization called “The Color of Politics.” Yes, there is such a thing as “The Politics of Color,” but as social commentary, not as a film title. “The Color of Politics” is equally real though, and has a long history. I first dabbled in the palette of politics on election eve, 2008, when I presented before the club on that occasion an essay I’d titled “One Collage Too Many,” painting a picture of the many problems inherent in the...

...Ethics - Linda Pastan In ethics class so many years ago our teacher asked this question every fall: if there were a fire in a museum which would you save, a Rembrandt painting or an old woman who hadn't many years left anyhow? Restless on hard chairs caring little for pictures or old age we'd opt one year for life, the next for art and always half-heartedly. Sometimes the woman borrowed my grandmother's face leaving her usual kitchen to wander some drafty, half imagined museum. One year, feeling clever, I replied why not let the woman decide herself? Linda, the teacher would report, eschews the burdens of responsibility. This fall in a real museum I stand before a real Rembrandt, old woman, or nearly so, myself. The colors within this frame are darker than autumn, darker even than winter--the browns of earth, though earth's most radiant elements burn through the canvas. I know now that woman and painting and season are almost one and all beyond saving by children. A New Poet Finding a new poet is like finding a new wildflower out in the woods. You don't see its name in the flower books, and nobody you tell believes in its odd color or the way its leaves grow in splayed rows down the whole length of the page. In fact the very page smells of spilled red wine and the mustiness of the sea on a foggy day - the odor of truth and of lying. And the words are so familiar, so strangely new, words you almost wrote yourself, if only in...

...payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation."(United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime) Human trafficking is a global epidemic, which occurs everyday, in almost every single country in the world. It’s an international industry that is rapidly expanding. Patrick Belser of ILO has estimated human trafficking to be a $31.6 billion industry. This is second only to the drug trade.

Globally 80% of human trafficking victims are women and 60% are children. In the minute it took you to read this paragraph two children have become victims to human trafficking. There are two main types of human trafficking with countless subdivisions. One of these main branches is forced labor. There are also two main types of forced labor. Bonded labor, or debt bondage, is the recondite labor trafficking today, and is surprisingly the most used tactic to enslave victims of involuntary labor. Victims become caught up as bonded laborers when their work is commanded as a...

...us after all!” “Yes - after all our plans!” said Roger. “Still, it’s a jolly good thing Mummy didn’t back out, when she heard Dad had to go off to America - I was awfully afraid she would! My heart went into my boots, I can tell you.” “Same here,” said Diana, stacking the books neatly on a shelf in the caravan. “Have we got our bird-book - we’ll see plenty of birds on our travels, and that’s my holiday task - writing an essay on ‘Birds I have seen’.” “Well, don’t forget to take the field-glasses then,” said Roger. “They’re hanging in the hall. I say - what did you think about Mummy asking Miss Pepper to come with us, now that Daddy can’t manage?” Miss Pepper was a very old friend of their mother’s. The children were fond of her - but Roger felt rather doubtful about having her on a caravan holiday with them. “You see - she’s all right in a house,” he said to Diana. “But in a small caravan, with hardly any room - won’t she get fussed? We shall be so much on top of one another.” “Oh well - Mummy must have someone to take turns at driving the car that pulls the caravan,” said Diana. “And she’ll be company for Mummy, too. She’s quite good fun - if only she won’t keep making us be tidy, and wash our hands and knees a dozen times a day,...

...A Write an essay (900-1200 words) in which you analyze and interpret Karen Shephard’s short story “Popular Girls”. A part of your essay must focus on the narrative technique and the many references to labels and certain locations in New York City. Popular Girls A short story by Karen Shepard You know who we are. We're Kaethe and Alina, CJ and Sydney. Stephanie. Our hair is blonde or brown or black. Rarely red, rarely curly. It's thick and straight, and falls back into place after we run our fingers through it and hold it away from our faces long enough for you to see our striking eyes. When we do this, you get shivers. It's 1982, and we sit on the benches lining our New York private school's entrance, after classes are over and before we head home. They are old church pews, and we are from another world. Our canvas book bags mass at our feet. They're from Sweden. They come with an excess of zippers, a plastic ID tag on a small chain, and a ruler that we never use. We buy them at Chocolate Soup, on Madison, the store for cool kids. We say things like "Tenth grade is the Howard Johnson's of school life." You can sit on these benches too, but we do not notice you. Last fall we excised some of you from our group by taking you aside five minutes before chapel and saying "It just isn't working out." We see everyone who walks past us, in and out of our 200-year-old originally Episcopalian school. We sweep you with our eyes as if you were a landscape. We've seen...

...DECEMBER 1998 Goodbye, Robbie Tuesday... Write an essay (900-1200 words) in which you analyse and interpret the Scottish short story “Goodbye Robbie Tuesday” by Chris Roberts 1997. Part of your essay must focus on the narrative technique and the importance of the setting. After many false summits, we finally reached the top of the hill. Jamie took my hand and led me around the hillside until he found a hollow place with gorse bushes all around for a windbreak. Jamie shoved me forward into the hollow and flopped down beside me. It was so quiet out of the wind. I felt exhausted, but kind of thrilled all the same. This seemed a safe place. I looked up at Jamie, feeling the heat in my blood from the overworked engine of my heart and lungs. We grinned at each other. "We made it," Jamie said. I nodded. "Can we eat now?" I asked him. "I'm starving after all that exercise." "Robbie, we've just started. How're we gonna get away if you've got to feed your face every five minutes?" I felt myself blushing, but I could see Jamie was tempted too. He kept shooting quick glances at his school satchel, knowing it was filled with all kinds of goodies he'd pinched from the house after we slipped away from the hotel. It was strange seeing him dressed in his school clothes, with his black armband still on and his hair all neat. We had ditched our new black ties back at the house, but hadn't risked getting caught by taking the time to change our clothes. After...
