...Laura Heiberger Page 1 Paul D. Sowers English Composition February 21, 2012 REVISED Mailbox #429 Definition essay topic: Emo Emo has many meanings. The correct definition is that Emo is a music genre. Some People consider it only as a brief way to call someone emotional, although they are not correct. Emo is also about fashion, a way of dressing and expressing yourself through clothes and makeup. Originally, Emo was a style of music, punk rock that originated in North America around 1980. Some of the bands from that time included Rites of Spring and Embrace. Its sound and meaning changed and blended with pop punk and indie rock in the 1990s and new groups emerged such as Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate. The lyrics are about emotional things. It is a style of music in which the words have significant meaning to both the author and listener. Try listening to Emo music. Examples of Emo include Yage, Amanda Woodward, Rites of Spring, Embrace, Sunny Day Real Estate, I hate Myself, Indian Summer, Belle Epoque, Circle Takes The Square, Orchid, Dashboard Confessional, Embrace, Fugazi, Antioch Arrow and Twelve Hour Turn. Emo is not mainstream; you will not hear any Emo bands on the radio. Bands that have devoted their sound to hand-muted guitars and emotional lyrics are bands like Silverstein, Hawthorne Heights, Funeral for a Friend, Alesana, Escape the Fate and When Sparks Fly. The style combines dramatic hardcore and sometimes...

...Love around the World Jenny Beebe Definition Essay English 101, section 5A1 Dr. Love 16 October 2013 Love is an emotion and a feeling of deep affection. Love can be associated with fondness and tenderness. Usually, people who love will do anything that they can for their loved ones. They stick with them through good times and bad. Sometimes love can be confused with the word “like.” Like is very different from love in the sense that it means something more like “compare” or “relate” while love means “passionate.” Love also comes in many different forms. These forms of love include material love, friendship love, family love, and romantic love which are some of the most important forms. One of the most common types of love is the love for material things. Material love varies from person to person. Some people love money while others may love the clothes or shoes they wear. For example, a person may absolutely love the brand of clothes they wear and that may be all that a person will buy. People may love to shop because they love clothes, shoes, or other items. Such people tend to spend way too much money on these items, especially when they tend not to use the items they buy. When people buy too many shoes they tend not to wear them. One pair of shoes is the maximum a person can wear at a time. Instead people tend to buy more than needed because they love to shop or love a certain kind of item. You also have people who love beautiful things. Sometimes...

...actually two schools of thought here, Narrow Hedonism and Preference Hedonism, each with its own definition of happiness. Narrow Hedonism deems happiness a homogeneous state of pleasure, while Preference Hedonism expands the definition to include any state of mind favored by the individual, including pain (yes, pain is happiness, for some). However, the two schools are united in their focus on mental states, which as you will see is a silly idea. Hedonism is a way of life, characterised by openness to pleasurable experience. There are many qualms about hedonism. It is rejected on moral grounds and said to be detrimental to long-term happiness. Several mechanisms for this 'paradox of hedonism' have been suggested and telling examples of pleasure seekers ending up in despair have been given. The relation between hedonism and happiness has been studied at two levels: that of the nation and the individual. At the national level average happiness is correlated with moral acceptance of pleasure and with active leisure. At the individual level it is similarly linked with hedonistic attitudes and also correlated with hedonistic behaviours such as frequent sex and use of stimulants. In this essay, it will firstly discuss what is hedonism, including the two catories Narrow hedonism and Preference hedonism. Following this, it will discuss the difference of the two kinds of hedonism. Finnally, the essay will show that the Preference hedonism is a a more plausible theory of happiness. 2.0 Hedonism ...

...Tim Kreider's 'The Busy Trap,' is an expository essay in which Kreider speaks out about the world's endless obsession with unnecessary or daunting tasks. The article manages to paint a picture of what society views as 'busy' along with the negative impact has on one's mental health. Kreider states that society sees being busy as a means of seeming accomplished and productive. In today's society, being bogged down and having virtually no free time is deemed "good." Its the rest of the world who are deemed "unimportant" in comparison to these over-driven, anxious individuals. Kreider not only targets adults who have fallen victim to the increase in the busy lifestyle but children as well who have taken on more than their little minds can wrap itself around. Today's children are bombarded with many activities; from soccer practice to classical music lessons. Children are lacking free time. There's nothing for them apart from getting an early start on solidifying a concrete future. But what can be said apart from the fact that this is what society has began to drill into their little minds. Like Kreider insists, business is greatness. However, in all truths what are children really learning when they are loaded with too many activities that has their minds swirling apart from the very definitions of such words as exhausted, tired and drained? Kreider takes a moment to reflect on his own childhood in which he did nothing more than spend (or to those obssessed with being busy) waste...

... you will be able to read about various ideas—from the meaning of the word “infinite” beyond the concept taught to us in our Math classes, to the causes of the Philippines’ lagged progress (no, it is not solely due to corruption), and, well, Korean Pop. With all these topics mentioned, I hope you appreciate how much I have grown in terms of flexibility, as I was never comfortable with writing beyond my interests. The entire journey was a roller coaster, thanks to the great deal of papers that came with strict deadlines, high standards, along with numerous revisions inked in either pink, green, red, or blue. However, I believe that all those days figuring out how exactly my professors want me to revise parts of my papers and whatnot are worth it—The innumerable scratch papers that I was armed with in the beginning of the term are gone. I can now write an article of great quality without having to frantically jot down my ideas on a separate sheet of paper. I believe that this growth of mine is impossible without my professors. Therefore, I would like to extend my gratitude to them: To Ms. Aileen Bautista for her meticulousness, as for without her seemingly “harsh” comments, my supposed scholarly papers would have been that of the quality of a literary paper; and of course, to Mrs. Guia Gonzales, who has seen not only me, but ENGCLOM C39A not only as writers, but also as individuals; for constantly reminding us that “writing is a process” when we were pressured by deadlines;...

...Introduction to Economics Economics has become quite a popular course at school in recent years. In fact, economics plays an important role in various fields of our life. Most of us may feel that we are familiar with economics, but we seldom think about what economics is and how we can apply it into our future life. These two questions are going to be covered in this essay. 1. What is economics? The definition of economicsWhy should your students consider studying economics at degree level? The Economics Network's website (whystudyeconomics.ac.uk) attempts to answer this question, guiding A-level students through the difficult decision of choosing a degree course and encouraging students who might otherwise not consider a degree in economics that it is a worthwhile subject. It also provides information to students and parents. This year the website has been relaunched with a brand new look. But why should students consider economics and what can they expect? [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] As a new science, economics has been interpreted by professional economists in different ways. However, the definition of economics in Alfred Marshall’s textbook is as widely accepted today as it was in 1890, when the first edition of Principles of Economics was published. As Marshall (1961, p. 1) indicated, ‘Economics is a study of mankind in the ordinary business of life; it examines that part of individual and social action which is most closely connected with the attainment and with the...

...they could not encourage people to drink more. Technological: JDW did not show televised football and sales dramatically decreased. From that moment on, JDW decided to have football match on TV. Furthermore, they did not play music or show TV programmes. Due to the increasing demands, JDW have TV screens and shows live matches in their pubs. JDW also has a ventilation system where smokers are able to smoke without leaving the place smelling of smoke. This system cost more than £ 100.000. Economic: Supermarkets began selling drinks, particularly premium lager, at lower prices which encouraged people to drink at home and spend less money in pubs. Due to this changes, JDW sales and profit growth have also slowed down and the number of new openings was lower than the previous year. Political and legal: Monopolies and Mergers Commissions had been limited the number of pubs which a brewer could operates. It was one of the reasons for JDW's successful expansion because they entered into the market as a retailer without any connection with brewery. The traditional link between the brewing companies and pubs known as the "tied house" system has been broken by a ruling. Part B (SWOT analysis) Strength JDW pubs are based on his model for a pub on a 1946 essay by George Orwell offering cheap beer, good conversation and solid architecture.

...claimed that he and his brothers could never count on any happiness lasting – that they were continually confronting death in the family. Keats shows this pain in stanza 3 of the poem: ‘’Here, where men sit and hear each other groan; Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last grey hairs, Where youth grows pale and spectre-thin, and dies;’’ (Keats’ Ode to a Nightingale: stanza 3) However, Ode to a Nightingale also portrays Keats’s escape from the cold realities of life. It is through this ‘escape’ that I am going to shape this essay into the pastoral tradition. My main focus shall be how the Ode offers a resemblance to a poem of pastoral retirement but has a pastoral elegy concealed within it. The term ‘pastoral’ today has various definitions; if we start with the cradle of pastoral poetry like Theocritus’ first idyll, we understand that the pastoral comprises of idealised landscapes and beautiful music: ‘’ Sweet is the whispering music of yonder pine that sings Over the water-brooks, and sweet the melody of your pipe’’ (Theocritus: 1st stanza) Several other works have considered the...

Print media use a physical object such as a newspaper, book, pamphlet or comics,[1] to distribute their information. Outdoor media is a form of mass media that comprises billboards, signs or placards placed inside and outside of commercial buildings, sports stadiums, shops and buses. Other outdoor media include flying billboards (signs in tow of airplanes), blimps, and skywriting.[2] Public speaking and event organising can also be considered as forms of mass media.[3] The digital media comprises both Internet and mobile mass communication. Internet media provides many mass media services, such as email, websites, blogs, and internet based radio and television. Many other mass media outlets have a presence on the web, by such things as having TV ads that link to a website, or distributing a QR Code in print or outdoor media to direct a mobile user to a website. In this way, they can utilise the easy accessibility that the Internet has, and the outreach that Internet affords, as information can easily be broadcast to many different regions of the world simultaneously and cost-efficiently. The organizations that control these technologies, such as television stations or publishing companies, are also known as the mass media.[4][5][need quotation to verify] Contents * 1 Issues with definition * 1.1 Characteristics * 1.2 Mass vs. mainstream...

...Elements of an Essay/Research Paper Writing Process The series of steps that most writers follow in producing a piece of writing. The five major stages in the writing process are finding a topic and generating ideas (discovering), focusing on a main or controlling idea and mapping out an approach (organizing), preparing a rough draft (drafting), reworking and improving the draft (revising), and proofreading and correcting errors. Discovering – The first stage in the writing process. It may include finding a topic, exploring the topic, determining purpose and audience, probing ideas, doing reading and research, planing and organizing material. Discovery usually involves writing and is aided considerably by putting preliminary thought and plans in writing. Organizing – The sequence in which the information or ideas in an essay are presented. Drafting – The stage in the writing process during which the writer puts ideas into complete sentences, connects them, and organizes them into a meaningful sequence. Revising – The stage in the writing process during which the author makes changes in focus, organization, development, style, and mechanics to make the writing more effective. Editing – The last stage in the writing process during which the writer focuses on the details of mechanics and correctness. Discovering Audience – The readers for whom a piece of writing is intended. Many essays are aimed at a general audience, but a writer can focus on a specific group of readers...

...and from a small vocabulary to one that is growing by six new words a day. Language development is a complex subject with varying views.This debate reflects fundamentally different beliefs about human development and is not likely to be resolved. There is however considerable agreement that the course of language development reflects the interplay of factors in at least five domains.Educators and policy-makers have often ignored schoolchildren, whose language seems to be lagging behind development in other areas, arguing that such children are “just a bit late” in talking. However language development is a vital issue which has implications on the performance of a child at school. Because of this, this essay analyses factors that affect language development. 2.0 DEFINITION OF TERMS 2.1 LANGUAGE Skinner, who was a behaviourist, defined language as the observed and produced speech that occurs in the interaction of speaker and listener. 2.2LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT According to the internet site, www.healthofchildren.com/L/Language-Development, Language development is the process by which children come to understand and communicate language during early childhood. 3. 0 3.1 EXPOSURE TO THE SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT Owens R. (2001), quoted Beistein in an attempt to associate the social environment to language development. The social environment refers to the environment developed by humans as contrasted with the natural environment; society as a whole, especially in its relation to the individual...

...Q1. Based on research of the company, identify the range of decisions made by the company. Evaluate the effectiveness of the decisions (Criteria 1.1, Grading Criteria M1). Strategic Planning Decisions: Strategic planning decisions are those decisions in which the decision-maker develops objectives and allocates resources to achieve these objectives. Such decisions are taken by strategic planning level (top level) managers. Example: pizza hut might have the objective of increasing sales and decide to implement a strategy of offering lower prices on certain products during off hours to attract more customers. After a month of pursuing the new strategy, managers can look at sales data for the month and evaluate whether the strategy resulted in increasing sales and then choose to keep the new price scheme or alter their strategy. Management Control Decisions: Management control decisions are taken by management control level (middle level) managers and deal with the use of resources in the organization. Example : The system installed at each Pizza Hut delivery outlet, restaurant and area managers office includes password‐controlled access to an enterprise information portal, mymicros.net. This content‐rich and secure Internet portal enables area and store managers and staff costs, with real‐timer reports obtained via a Web browser at any time. This enables ,managers to react immediately to any emerging issues and run their...
