...From: ka_alvare, Manager of Cascades Hotel and Conference Centre, Toronto Date: December 18, 2015 To: Five3Nine Subject: Improving Hotel Services Dear Five3Nine, Thank you for spending time at our hotel and giving us your detailed feedback. At Cascades Hotel, we strive to make our guests satisfied, and so your word is important to us. It is with great regret that your stay at our hotel was unsatisfactory. Prior to your stay, your hotel carpet had been steam cleaned by staff to improve your stay. Unfortunately, the ventilation system in your particular room had malfunctioned a few nights before. This is what had caused the carpet not to dry in time for your stay, and so refurbishment of the room was necessary but very last minute. We make it an effort to ensure that our guests are comfortable during their stay. This time of the year, hotel rooms are almost always completely full, and unfortunately we could not simply accommodate you with another room as, according to the reception desk, all rooms were booked that night. There is no excuse for our lack of speedy service at the front desk, but again, this was our busiest time of the year and we received a larger volume of phone calls during this time as well. Rest assured, we do our best to fulfil our customer needs, and so as soon as a room was available we would let you know and move you immediately to a much standardized location. It is with much importance that our guests are provided a backup for recovery, and so...

Furthermore, we will examine one of three ethical paths presented in today’s journalism. They “defend freedom of expression and freedom of the press”ii The three ethical paths include amoral, which can be defined as not questioning what is right or wrong or inserting moral standard in the reporting. Secondly, immoral involves the violation of journalistic code of conduct or principles. Lastly, moral concerns conforming to the rules, norms and acceptable journalistic codes of conduct, which will be our main focus.

...Thank you for taking the time to write a review for our hotel. I am sorry that this incident had unfortunately ruined what seemed to otherwise be a pleasant experience. Our hotel is currently in the process of a rejuvenation project and from time to time there had been some leakage in a select number of rooms. This leaking has since ceased in all rooms, with the completion of our pipeline replacement project concluding this past Monday. At the Crone Plaza Hotel we are nothing if not a promoter of respect and fairness for our guests, but even we make mistakes. I feel terrible about the damages and hardship you encountered, our facilities department doesn't start work until 8:30am, so I apologize for your extended wait. As the manager, I am always working to provide my guests with the best customer service available. When you were asked go switch rooms my staff was just looking out for the best interest of yourself and other guests so they could correct the problem and maintain the high standards expected at the Crone Plaza Hotel. I work towards providing all my guests with the same hospitality that I'd give my own family, so it personally hurts me that you didn't enjoy your stay. I've sent you an inbox message with my personal contact information. I'd like you to please contact me directly, so that I can learn all the details and the extent of the damage and we can work towards righting our wrong. I sincerely hope this experience doesn't discourage you from staying with...

...In my rhetorical analysis of the CoverGirl advertisement I analysis three rhetorical tools that are strongly conveyed to me. The advertisement uses these rhetorical tools to further persuaded audiences to buy the CoverGirl product and even stick with the brand. In this analysis I will cover the rhetorical appeals that try to convince viewers that the product is superior, the use of myth and how it is used to strengthen the persuasiveness of the advertisement, and the rhetorical situation of the advertisement. Let us move onto rhetorical appeal Rhetorical appeal is a very good way to structure any persuasive document and when used correctly it can service its purpose well. Let’s analysis how this persuasive advertisement uses rhetorical appeal. Pathos in this advertisement is very straight forward; it wants the view to be curious but also excited with a hint of wonder or in other words it wants “to raise emotions” (Aristotle, n.d. p. 146) within a viewer. The use of Taylor Swift along with the mention of more bang for your buck, since this cream can beat ones that cost $180, would draw on a viewer’s emotion and cause them to be persuaded because their idol is advertising a product that she, Taylor Swift, is using daily to perfect her skin and it isn’t an expensive designer brand. Next we will focus on logos and its use in this advertisement. Logos is the “logical appeals [that] stress the reasonableness” (Aristotle, n.d p. 146). This advertisement relies heavily on...

...Service Learning is the cornerstone class that links academic studies at the College of Muscogee Nation (CMN) with the student and the communities. Each will strengthen the other as we learn to use cultural and historical facts and traditions to face social problems, meet human needs, promote civic responsibility and provide a basis for future citizen support. My service project is using volunteerism to improve the quality of life for the children in the Okmulgee area by applying the Muscogee traditions and culture taught to us through the curriculum of College of Muscogee Nation and our ancestors. The first goal of this service learning project is to improve the quality of life for the children of the low-income Okmulgee community residents. A historical assessment of the Okmulgee area provides a picture of drastic change and a people trying to make genuine progress in face of pressure beyond their control. This area, like the United States, has experienced drastic changes in the last fifty years including loss of manufacturing plants such as the Peanut Plant, Phillips 66 Refinery, Americana Window Glass, Ingersoll-Rand, and Ball Brothers Glass. The 2013 U.S. Census Bureau lists the population of Okmulgee as 12, 373 with 25.5% below poverty level. The per capita income for the 12 months (in 2013 dollars) is 16, 981 compared to the national per capita of $24,208. According to Oklahoma Unemployment records the unemployment rate in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma was 4.1% in April...

...Health Care Business Services was my major when I entered Northeastern Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC) to earn an Associate Degree. Upon completion of the Associate Degree Program in 2000, I enrolled at Concordia University where I majored in Health Care Administration. In 2005, I earned a Bachelor's Degree in that field. The health care field has been enjoyable because it is very broad and filled with constant change. For me, it provides the opportunity to fulfill my passion to serve others. After being laid off from Humana Insurance Company in 2010, I began researching other career options. I was looking for one that would compliment my current degree in Health Care Administration, a career that would also provide me with personal satisfaction while impacting peoples' lives positively and making a difference doing so. What other job offers that kind of opportunity? A career in nursing fits my needs and goals perfectly. The field of health care offers the type of professional challenge I have been seeking all my life. With the fulfillment of my goals, I will be actively working with people rather than sitting in an office cubicle filling out billing and insurance forms. There is another reason that I decided to go into nursing. My favorite aunt was a registered nurse and she loved it. She would tell me stories about her experiences all the time. She said there were some rough days but she always stressed that she loved her career. Unfortunately her diabetes...
