...There is something really important I have to tell you. Yesterday I watched a speech that is going to change all my future decisions and I am sure once you watch it yours as well. This speech is conducted by an animal liberation activist Gary Yourofsky in Georgia Institute of Technology. As of January 1, 2015 Gary Yourofsky has given 2,660 lectures to more than 60,000 people at 186 schools in 30 states and several Israeli cities/schools, including the U. of Alabama, U. of Florida and Georgia Tech.

...the series, but I sure did have one checked out every couple of days. When it comes to writing, I have no problem writing you an essay. I get to put my thoughts, opinions, and feelings on paper. I really enjoy writing narrative papers. Being able to write about myself, or things I adore makes me feel content. Do not get me wrong, I do not mind writing about topics I do not specifically admire, because I am still being able to write, but I do better with certain topics. When I was introduced to essays, I was one of the few in my class that loved writing. I was taught at a young age how to read and write, which I believe made me enjoy reading and writing. This past summer I took Speech 102 at Ole Miss, and I really enjoyed writing my speeches. My favorite speech was an informative I gave about type 1 diabetes. Being a type 1 diabetic, I really enjoy writing about that specific topic. When I was younger I would play “school” with myself, and self teaching me different subjects. I had a whole binder filled with notes. However, as I become older, my interest in reading is not the same anymore. I still read from time to time, but no where near as often as I used to. I enjoy reading articles now, or reading about medications. I like to read about things that will help me gain knowledge from. I still enjoy writing, though. I like to write about things in my spare time. I currently keep a notebook, and every day I write about how my day went, or important things I need to know. Even still...

...Nicole Smith @02659641 Informative Speech Multiple sclerosis (MS) includes an immune-mediated process in which a strange reaction of the body's immune system is steered against the central nervous system. Inside the central nervous system, the immune system assaults myelin, and in addition the nerve strands. The damaged myelin structures scar tissue called sclerosis, hence where the disease receives its name. At the point when any piece of the myelin sheath or nerve fiber is harmed or decimated, nerve driving forces heading out to and from the brain and spinal cord are contorted or interfered with, creating a wide mixture of symptoms. In 1868, Jean-Martin Charcot, an educator at the University of Paris, precisely analyzed a young woman with a tremor of a sort he had never seen previously and inspected her brain and discovered the trademark scars or "plaques" of MS. Multiple sclerosis was formally perceived as an illness in its own particular right in the 1870s by Dr. Walter Moxen in England and Dr. Edward Seguin in New York. A standout amongst the most paramount catalysts in the battle against MS was made when the National Multiple Sclerosis Society was established in 1946 (Roth). While the reason for MS is still unknown, researchers believe that the connection of a few distinctive variables may be included. Approximately more than 400,000 individuals in the United States and around 2.5 million individuals around the world have Multiple Sclerosis. MS is known to happen all...

...become a vigorous tendency. As claimed by Schor (2004, p. 21), in 1980s companies used to spend 100 millions of dollars on marketing to kids. Whereas today, according to Eggerton (2007) in Linn’s and Novosat’s (2008, p. 134) research, this number has reached 15 billions of dollars, expended only on food and beverage marketing directed at youth. Additionally, in the last decades, as stated by de Onis, Blossni and Blogher (as cited in Carter, Petterson, Donovan, Ewing & Roberts, 2011), obesity and other health problem rates among kids have been rising along with the marketers’ attention to children. These simultaneously growing processes have led to the debates of marketers’ responsibility related to increasing rates of childhood obesity, diabetes and food preference distortion (Linn & Novosat, 2008, p. 134; Carter et al., 2011, p. 962; Boyland & Halford, in press, p. 1). As acknowledged by Carter’s et al. (2011, pp. 962-968) research, children are a vulnerable and easily persuadable group of society, which should be protected from marketing’s aspirations. In accordance with Boyland and Haford (in press, p. 2), the adopted regulations deviate between countries. With regard to previous studies about drawbacks, beneficial sides of existing restrictions related to marketing to youth, this paper will evaluate whether food and beverage marketing to children should be regulated by government or within the industry. The evaluation will be made first of all regarding literary...

C.H. is a 64 year old Caucasian female who was born with cerebral palsy and mental retardation. She has never been able to walk, and her mentation never progressed past the age of an approximately 4 year old child. She lived at home with her parents and two sisters and one brother until the age of 11 when she was institutionalized in a facility notorious for the mistreatment and neglect of its residents. The facility has long since closed, and in 1991, C.H. was placed with our organization, Community Vision Inc. (CVI). Her parents were both deceased by that time, and her sister D.H.C. assumed legal guardianship, with sister N.W. helping with her needs.

...INFORMATIVE SPEECH 1) How To Be Happy Being Single The life that we are bestowed with is truly a miracle. This precise miracle gets overshadowed with the contradictions that we live with. Contradictions like, the young want to be older and the old want to be young again; the dark want to be fair and the fair want to darken; the short want to be tall and the tall ones have their own problems. And just the same way, the single want to mingle and the ones with partners want to break free. Isn't that complicated enough? Well, let's take a moment and say aloud - "I am single. I am single! I AM SINGLE". Yes. It is not to rub salt on your wounds but for you to embrace it than dread it. Acceptance is the key to great decisions. It is, in fact, very empowering. Look at you. You live your life all by yourself because you are capable of being single and independent. If you still hate your relationship status, take another moment to remember all the things you have dealt with alone. I am single. No, I really am single and everyday I push my limits to achieve something better alone because I can't afford to waste my time waiting for someone who may or may not show up just so I could have the cliché happy ending to my fairytale because Disney says so. No, that is not the end to my life or your life for that matter. Life is living it, not waiting for it to be over. And why on Earth would I ever want to cripple myself to the aid of a person who sees me as nothing more than a baby that...

The last part of the 19th century was a period of great achievements in medicine and endocrinology. The thyroid gland evolved from being considered a rudimentary structure to an organ related to specific diseases. The singular importance of iodine became acknowledged. Graves-Basedow’s disease was described. Surgical treatment evolved with extraordinary speed. Theodor Kocher observed that the clinical picture in patients after total thyroidectomy was similar to the one seen in cretinism. In 1850, the first case of hypothyroidism or myxedema was described. Less than 50 years later, effective treatment was introduced. Another 50 years later, autoimmune thyroiditis was ascertained as the most frequent cause of hypothyroidism (in areas with no iodine deficiency). This paper gives...

...section Vi essay forms Many people use the term “essay” to mean any paper written for a class. In actuality, there are many different types of essays, each of which has a unique purpose, form, and style. We call these different types of essays “modes of discourse,” and they include expository, persuasive, and comparecontrast essays to name just a few. This section of the Guide has a dual purpose. First, various types of essays are described and suggestions are included about how to approach each particular type of writing. Second, the sample essays are good tools for you to see how these different essays look in their final form. These are not templates (no essay can be a carbon copy of another even in form), but they will give you a good idea of what a final piece of writing for each mode of discourse looks like. It would be advantageous to critically analyze the form and content of each sample against the instruction for how to write each type of essay. chapter 21 expository essays Jennifer propp An expository essay explains something using facts rather than opinions. The purpose of this type of essay is to inform an audience about a subject. It is not intended to persuade or present an argument of any kind. Writing this type of essay is a good way to learn about all the different perspectives on a topic. Many students use the expository essay to explore a variety of topics, and do so in a wide range of formats, including “process” and “definition”...

Our students have changed radically. Today’s students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach. Today’s students have not just changed incrementally from those of the past, nor simply changed their slang, clothes, body adornments, or styles, as has happened between generations previously. A really big discontinuity has taken place. One might even call it a “singularity” – an event which changes things so fundamentally that there is absolutely no going back. This so-called “singularity” is the arrival and rapid dissemination of digital technology in the last decades of the 20th century. Today’s students – K through college – represent the first generations to grow up with this new technology. They have spent their entire lives surrounded by and using computers, videogames, digital music players, video cams, cell phones, and all the other toys and tools of the digital age. Today’s average college grads have spent less than 5,000 hours of their lives reading, but over 10,000 hours playing video games (not to mention...

...Copyright © 2005 Stuart Fischoff. All rights reserved. 1 Media Psychology: A Personal Essay in Definition and Purview by Stuart Fischoff, Ph.D. Introduction The subject matter of media psychology is a mother lode of material that psychology has actively mined for decades, but only within the last ten to fifteen years has the enterprise emerged as a distinct and explicit subdivision of psychology. Media psychology found its inspirational roots more than 90 years ago within the discipline of social psychology and in the early work of social psychologist Hugo Münsterberg concerning the psychology and the psychological impact of film. Published in 1916 under the title, The Photoplay: A Psychological Study, it was the first empirical study of an audience reacting to a film. Münsterberg also provided such a keen analysis of a screenplay's (then called a photoplay) grammar of visual construction and nascent cinematic conventions and their psychological impact on the audience, that his incisive words still echo today in numerous film school lecture halls and classroom seminars. And there was psychologist L.L. Thurstone, arguably the Father of Attitude Scale Construction and Measurement (a signature area of theory and research in social psychology), who developed scales for the measurement of attitudes toward movies for the famous and notoriously politicized Payne Fund Research in 1928. This study’s practically avowed purpose was to indict (not investigate) the medium of film...
