...personally believe that I have grown in my writing. I do know that I have some problem areas in my writing, however. When I start with a rough draft I always write in first person. I have some trouble with my grammar, but I continue to grow as I further my education. My Media essay, “Sexism Manifest in The Arena”, dealt with the issue of how prevalent sexism is in our society even in popular public figures like Hilary Clinton. In my RBAA essay I talked about how America needs to correctly respond to the intimidating terrorist group, ISIS....

...The very thing that is now called the Christian religion was already in existence in Ancient Egypt, long before the adoption of the New Testament. The British Egyptologist, Sir E. A. Wallis Budge, wrote in his book, The Gods of the Egyptians [1969], The new religion (Christianity) which was preached there by St. Mark and his immediate followers, in all essentials so closely resembled that which was the outcome of the worship of Osiris, Isis, and Horus. The similarities, noted by Budge and everyone who has compared the Egyptian Ausar/Auset/Heru (Osiris/Isis/Horus) allegory to the Gospel story, are striking. Both accounts are practically the same, e.g. the supernatural conception, the divine birth, the struggles against the enemy in the wilderness, and the resurrection from the dead to eternal life. The main difference between the “two versions”, is that the Gospel tale is considered historical and the Ausar/Auset/Heru (Osiris/Isis/Horus) cycle is an allegory. Allegories are intentionally chosen as a means for communicating knowledge. Allegories dramatize cosmic laws, principles, processes, relationships and functions, and express them in a way easy to understand. Once the inner meanings of the allegories have been revealed, they become marvels of simultaneous scientific and philosophical completeness and conciseness. The more they are studied, the richer they become. The ‘inner dimension’ of the teachings embedded into each story make them capable of revealing several layers...

...Date: 4-29-16 Research Essay By:Diego Que 7th Have you ever been judged or insulted for something as simple as your own beliefs? When paid close attention, you realize that is exactly what Isis is doing. Here I will compare how Isis has created a situation similar to that of the salem witch hunts. After going through lots of research, I have come to the conclusion that, the way Isis is being similar to the witch hunts is because they are persecuting Muslims. Here are some of the reason to believe that Isis is being similar to the witch hunts by persecuting Muslim, is a quote found in my first source. The quote says “Isis’s real war is with Muslims.” (“Bring The United Nations to the fight with Isis.” [Toronto, Ontario] 9 Oct 2014). This quote is quite interesting, because if you look up the victims that Isis has targeted, you’d noticed that most of the, unfortunate victims are Muslims. This is a piece of evidence that makes me believe that, Isis targeting Muslims, is quite similar to the witch hunts because, a lot of people in the trials, were innocent people, with certain beliefs, yet they were accused. My second piece of evidence is an article that talks about how three different countries are coming...

...terrorist groups have used this in their favour. The most known terrorist group who are operating worldwide has been ISIS (Islamic State Of Iraq and Syria) they have been able to take parts of Syria under their control, they have been able to indoctrinate people worldwide who are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goal, which is to “conquer the world” and kill any “non-believers”. Another situation caused by the Syrian war is the migration crisis, as the war between Bashar Al-Assad and rebel groups intensifies the death toll for three years has risen to more than 191,000. Many people flee the country in order for a better life in neighbouring countries such as Turkey and Iraq and some migrate to Europe to countries such as Greece or Hungary. However, as more than 3 million people are looking for asylum, countries just don’t have the capacity to let in all the migrants, which has created a massive overload at borders. Some countries have shut their borders, putting up wire fences and having armed police at the borders, and some have opened their borders to more migrants. But are countries doing enough? To date there has been little agreement on whether countries have done enough so far to solve the issues in Syria, some can argue that countries are doing as much as they can by: Military Intervention, Aid and opening up international borders. My essay will be on whether the countries such as Russia, United States and United Kingdom and leaders such as Putin, Barrack...

...------------------------------------------------- ENG 0100 Scott Thomas Gibson, PhD 1er Semestre, 2015-2016 ESSAY #3: ARGUMENT One of the most important skills you will need in life is arguing ethically and effectively. While many people believe that argument is about winning or losing, right or wrong, effective arguments often produce more nuanced results. Sometimes our audiences simply learn about a perspective they have never considered; other times they may feel called to action and participate in an important social or political movement. Whatever the case, argumentation demands an awareness of the rhetorical situation, our own authority and credibility to speak or write on the subject, and the kind of audience we are engaging. In this essay, your job is to research a current issue in reputable English-language publications and then formulate and sustain an argument on this issue. Your argument should demonstrate effective use of the strategies from Chapter 14 of the textbook, the Classical Argument structure, and accurate citations of summarized, paraphrased, or quoted material from your sources. The basic requirements are: SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS: Your essay will use the Classical Argument structure in class. Each of the six sections should be clearly identifiable and contribute effectively to the essay. I expect that each section will be at least one paragraph, but you may need more paragraphs to fully develop your ideas. You will also need to effectively...

...Comparison and Contrast Final Essay America is a nation that stands up to any threat, and stops it with an iron fist. Anyone that is a threat to the United States allies, is a threat to the United States. A country that’s roots started with respect, by chasing a nation that had the biggest and best military in the world out of their homeland. From that point forward, America was viewed as a force to be reckoned with. Now a nation that once had the respect and fear of many is being disproven and stripped of its title as the strongest and proudest. Many years ago someone could ask a random person, on a random street, in a random nation, what they thought about America, and they would talk about all of the great opportunities and freedoms. Now...

...against Islamic extremism, Pakistan’s home-grown insurgent forces have turned its fight against the state itself in its resistance against a stable and democratic government. This conflict has led to a growth in Islamic extremism in Pakistan’s border regions which have turned into safe-havens for fighters in Afghanistan in their war against the US and the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GoIRA). Evidence shows that these fighters still receive covert support from Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) agency and elements of the Pakistani military. 2. Scope. This essay will first explain the roots of Islamic militancy in Pakistan including Pakistan’s involvement in the rise of the Taliban and home-grown extremist groups.

...Should the US put boots on the grounds in their attempts at defeating the Islamic state? The humanitarian catastrophe created by Sunni jihadist rebels; publicised as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), has necessitated a military intervention by the US. The extremist group aims to create a worldwide caliphate where Muslims will unite under Sharia Law and ‘’challenge, and ultimately conquer, the West’’ (Brandon, 2006). There has been much debate as to whether the US should authorize the use of military ground forces due to the atrocities against civilians and barbaric killings against soldiers and journalists. However this essay contends, that despite the actions perpetrated by this terrorist group, a war will not put an end to the caliphate, therefore the US should not seek to put boots on the ground in attempts at defeating the Islamic extremists. It is right to say that the actions of jihadists cannot go unpunished, but the US putting boots on the ground will not defeat the Islamic state. If one understands the reason as to why the terrorists are obligated to what they do, then it is clear to acknowledge that a war will not stop them. As globalization spreads and societies become increasingly interconnected, Muslims have a choice; accept western beliefs to better integrate or preserve their spiritual purity by rebelling (Baylis, Smith, & Owens, 2011, p. 371) And this is why for many years, Muslims have fought...

...The audience for this informative essay is the professor of my English Composition course, Pamela Hughes, and the entirety of my class. The theory behind this essay is the idea that religion is attributed to conflict. Supportive evidence is abundant, there are enormous volumes of writing on this topic. Consequently, there’s plenty of theories, articles, papers, and support regarding this topic. In this paper, I will attempt to prove this, while trying to justify and backing up my evidence. Though religion has led to an abundance of answers to ancient questions, we are left to question the cost. Are rudimentary mappings of our universe and origins worth the means? Teaching tinsel morals, promoting close-mindedness, as well as...

From any given vantage point, a river looks much the same day after day. But actually it is constantly flowing and changing, crumbling its banks, widening and deepening its channel. The water seen one day is never the same as that seen the next. Some of it is constantly being evaporated and drawn up, to return as rain. From year to year these changes may be scarcely perceptible. But one day, when the banks are thoroughly weakened and the rains long and heavy, the river floods, bursts its banks, and may take a new course. This represents the dialectical part of Marx’s famous theory of dialectical (or historical) materialism." Historical materialism is a methodological approach to the study of society, economics, and history first articulated by Karl Marx (1818–1883) as the materialist conception of history. It is a theory of socioeconomic development according to which changes in material conditions (technology and productive capacity) are the primary influence on how society and the economy are organised. Historical materialism looks for the causes of developments and changes in human society in the means by which humans collectively produce the necessities of life. Social classes...

...is said that Nationalism is one of the most widespread and influential ideologies in modern world history. In this week's reading for James Wood, entitled "Nationalism", it talks about Nationalism and how it affected Latin American countries. An example of how Nationalism affected Latin America is the Cuban war for independence from Spain, which happened from 1868 to 1898. Jose Marti was a apostle of Cuban Independence, in which he earned this title from many years of fighting for this cause. Jose had died on the battlefield fighting for Cuba's independence in 1895. Due to his belief about Cuba being independent, Jose was imprisoned and was also exiled from Cuba. Jose Marti's most famous essay was published in newspapers in both New York and Mexico City in January of 1891. In this essay he talks about the blindness of the previous Latin American governments to what was actually going on in the that region. The Mexican Revolution of 1910 had posed a revolutionary challenge to the neocolonial system. Francisco Madero had led a campaign to overthrow the government, which at the time was a positivist dictatorship ran by Porforio Diaz. This revolution lasted for a decade from 1910 to 1920 and it was very bloody. The Revolution had many twists and turns, but it gradually became institutionalized in the 1920's. With that being said it created space for a variety of nationalistic expressions to appear. An example of this would be Mexican...
