...Prasanna K.C HUMN210_H5WW Meghan b Roehl 7th May 2013 One my first answer I choose the correct answer attacking the Motive. It is an obvious choice because in the sentence there is a fallacy of attacking the motive is caused by the senator in a sentence. Second answer is Look Who's Talking (Tu Quoque) because in this sentence speaker he is unknown about the benefits of exercise. On my third answer I choose the correct answer again here the answer is bandwagon argument because here the fallacy is committed by threat of rejection by one's peers is substituted for evidence in an argument. On my fourth question correct answer is Straw Man here the fallacy is made upon the misinterpretation of Mr. Equalminded's idea’s or position. My fifth answer was also correct where there was a fallacy of appeal to force. Where coercion was made by the speaker. On my sixth answer the correct answer was begging the question where the premise is directly giving the conclusion. My seventh answer was wrong where the correct answer was Equivocation. And since I know the correct answer now I can say that Equivocation is the fallacy committed by using words that have two meanings. On my eighth answer I chose the correct one again which is two wrongs make it right were the fallacy is committed by connecting two wrongs ideology sentences to provide a conclusion. My ninth answer was again correct where I chose Personal Attack (Ad Hominem) because it was committing a fallacy. On my tenth...

...Persuasive Essay: Human Trafficking Human trafficking: the act of ownership over another person for the use of forced physical labor and/or sexual exploitation. Molina left Mexico with her children to the U.S. in search of a chance to work in a factory owned by a woman from her home town. She planned to return to Mexico in six months after earning enough money to open up her own sewing shop. When she arrived in Southern California, her new boss confiscated her ID and birth certificate, and threatened that if she tried to run away to the police, she would be incarcerated. At that moment Molina became a victim of human trafficking. “When I came to this country, I came with a lot of dreams,” she says. “But when I arrived I realized that my dreams were dead. I was in the darkness with no hope and no light.” Up to 27 million innocent women, young children, and even men are trafficked around the world each year. Most of these victims never experience freedom again. Human trafficking not only affects the victims, but also their loved ones, customers, and most importantly, society. Initiatives have been put into action in attempt to halt human trafficking. These initiatives are very effective in the termination of the heinous act of human trafficking, but the main question is: are the initiatives working? Some people say that the initiatives that are being put in place are not effective. They think that by halting human trafficking and saving victims from these horrible situations...

...Chapter 1 - Textbook Discussion Questions HUMN246-E1WW: Assignment 1-5 Stephanie Bost-Chi May 21, 2013 1. If you watched the movie on a TV or computer screen, in which scenes do you feel you lacked the intensity of involvement needed to enjoy the film most completely? In which scenes does the small-screen format work? Physco was directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1960. Although one might argue that viewing the notorious shower scene on the cinema screen would add far more effectiveness and immediacy to this extract of the movie. The movie was brilliantly made and in its entirety translates impeccably on the TV or computer screen. The subjective camera angles of select scenes such as the notorious the shower scene in particular coupled with the varying degrees of close up shots and the dramatic score add vivid emotiveness and depth to the action and in all honesty I did not stop to think ….this would be more meaningful on a big screen at the movie theatre. Throughout the movie there are portions of dialogue between actors where the sole focus is on the actor who is speaking. In a scene when Norman Bates played by Anthony Perkins, is talking with private detective Arbogast played by Martin Balsom about the disappearance of Marion Crane played by Vivien Leigh, the camera shot combinations go from extreme angled close ups to close ups with backlighting. The shots add dramatic effect which engages the viewer in the moment with the two men as they talk together. At one point...

...When an economy is suffering, people will look for an entity or person to blame yes, but they also eagerly and sometimes blindly accept what they might justify as the lesser of two evils. In this case, Evil is identified and there is nothing lesser about it. In the early 1900’s what they found changed and also ended the lives of millions. World War II and the hardship it brought upon Germany was just the tool that one man in particular took advantage of for his own personal gain and ideology. Born in Australia in 1889, Aldoph Hitler came to be one of the most famed and later despised person’s in human history. Many have written about his life and what he accomplished or yet, what he did. Many have tried to explain the why in hopes that history does not repeat itself. To this day, I do not think it has to that scale however; there will always be ones to try. It is important for that reason, to always understand why he succeeded, not to enable anyone to repeat his actions but instead to ensure the human race does not put such an evil man into power ever again. His rise to power, I believe was put deliberately in motion when in 1923 Hitler attempted to seize power in Bavaria. This failed and as a result Hitler was imprisoned. While in prison Hitler took the time to write what is known as, “Mein Kampf” (My Struggle). The sale of this writing added to the funds that later he would use to manipulate himself higher and higher up the power chain. He spent only 9 months in prison...

...19 Apr 2015 Cultural Report Assignment 1. I attended the 2015 Earth day concert located in the national mall for my cultural report. The date was 18 Apr 2015 and began at 11am. The website for the event is http://www.earthday.org/globalcitizen2015earthday 2. This event was a free concert to support and promote Earth day around the world. There were over 30 activist and celebrities who were there to advocate taking action against the deforestation of the rainforest, climate change, and reducing our carbon footprint. The event, which was located in front of the Washington Monument on the national mall, was a political rally as well as a concert to support change and environmental awareness. The performances ranged from Hip-Hop to R&B to Pop music from artist such as Fall Out Boy, Train, Usher, Common, Mary J. Blige, and No Doubt. 3. My reason for choosing this event was that the topics of discussion on the global environment are extremely important. Unless we reduce our carbon foot print, we may not have a planet to pass down to the next generation. Another reason was for the actually concert venue itself. A ticket to an event which showcases all of these performers would have cost well over $150 dollars. I was able to attend for free and have a picnic under the cherry blossom trees as the musician’s played their ballads. 4. The setting was outside right on the front lawn of the Washington Monument. The weather was actually superb since there was no rain...

Furthering these endeavors continues this journey into the influences surrounding this titanic industry, exploring political, legal, physical, and both positive and negative influences alike. Then taking a decidedly tactic turn into the economic questions and considerations, exploring the aspects of economic growth, prediction of future growth in the industry, as well as showing there is a consistency in the overall economy of this industry, and then traveling into the various changes this specialty has changed the economy as a whole. Continuing further we explore the psychological considerations and sociological effects of this industry, summarizing that it all comes down to personal responsibility and accountability when it comes to making choices in any and all things in life. Furthermore, the topic of violence in video games and the tendencies they create, plus the ever continuing debate this topic will forever have shrouded around it, gets a dose of reality. Admitting gaming addiction and denying a link to increased aggression due to video games is also pondered. The next section after this is all about the technology we so love and admire as a society...

...#4 The Romans created urban centers that looked and functioned much like our urban centers do today. Pick an example of an actual coliseum, arena, or civic center in your area. Describe its style and function as if it were a Roman building in a Roman city. Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia could be compared to the Roman basilicas. These buildings were large, served many functions, and demonstrated the practicality of the Romans. Philips Arena opened in 1999 and is one of the top multi-use facilities in the world. Its maximum capacity is 21,000 people. It serves as the home of the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA, Atlanta dream of the WNBA, and then easily transforms into an ice rink used by the Atlanta Thrashers. In addition to sports, many other types of events are held at Philips Arena, such as musicals, plays, concerts, comedy shows, and evangelistic events. I have attended all of these events and Philips Arena is a part of many of my childhood memories. If Philips Arena were a Roman basilica, it would serve many purposes. This is where people would go when they wanted to do inside group activities. When you enter you would be in a long hall with a large variety of shops and booths on each side of you. People would be buying and selling products and services. It would also be one of the city’s main meeting places. People would be standing in groups having conversations. As you walk through the hall with the shops, you would see doors every few feet on either side. These doors...

...I imagine things would be substantially different for me if I lived in 2000 B.C., Egypt. As a 43 year old male, I suspect it would be a miracle I survived at all. Surely, disease warfare or my birth had a high probability of ending my life by now. I would be living in a culture that values art and beauty and eternity. The Egyptians had a mind to build things that lasted. I believe I would have observed in awe, the building of the pyramids. The Egyptians were accomplished metal workers, judging by the ornate craftsmanship in working precious metals. I would imagine it was an exciting time as the priests interpreted the stars at night and informed the farmers when to plant and when to harvest their crops. The society would be learning the value of natural terrain and the importance of convenient and available fresh water. This would lend itself to the survival of the crops on a seasonal basis, knowing which crops would tolerate drought and which would not. I suspect the stockpiling of resources would also become a factor as commerce develops and people recognize the value of different food stocks and develop a monetary exchange or barter system. If I were born during this time, I suspect my life would be completely different. Clearly without the availability of refrigeration, available water, sewer systems and modern medicine, each day would be a struggle to survive. It's difficult, growing up in the west, to imagine what it's like to live in a primitive society where...

...Shannel Henry Dr. Brennan HUMN 1002 4/15/2014 Baby Face In the 1930s the United States was experiencing a depression era. This era known as ,The Great Depression, had a great effect on the movie industry. Films began to focus on sex, violence, infidelity, and promiscuous ways to target new audiences, mainly the males. The other types of genres like horror, gangster, and musical were still high in Demand during this era also. Social realism came about, which is a style of art that focuses on the ugly realities of the modern life and sympathizes with the working class people, especially the poor. The movies that were being produce during this time was to interest the men, which cause the movie producers to give women the lead roles and takeover the movie screen. A movie example is the film Baby Face. Baby Face, a movie directed by Alfred E. Green shows how women took over the ‘Big Screen’. This movie is based on Lily powers, who is played by Barbara Stanwyck, and how she moves up through her social class and financial status. She uses her beauty and her intelligence to get what she wanted from the men that she came into contact with. An example of her getting her way is at the end of the movie, when she wants the bank to fund her 15,000 to have a fresh start, but instead they gave her a new position at a firm in Paris. This is basically her getting her way because she has her new start from the scandal. Social realism is portrayed because every man that she met...

...Three impressive civilizations, from different time periods, have managed to influence each others cultures through the literature works of poetry; from Ancient Egyptian song: “I Am Your Best Girl”, to the glorious Greek love poems of the beautiful Sappho, and the monotheistic Hebrews Song: “I Am the Rose of Sharon.” Over the course of thousands of years, each of these great civilizations had countless views on poetry; all represented inspiration to their own citizens to become successful in life’s endeavors. All forms of literature, art, scripts and artifacts had a wide effect on these societies. By comparing these key examples of poetry, matters of passion for personal integrity, search for eternal love, admiration for greater quality of life and powerful affection towards dear ones, can give us a better understanding towards the emotional and dignifying experiences each culture portrayed. In the first Love Song: “I Am Your Best Girl,” there are many contrasts between the authors theme of powerful affection towards a beloved and the authors self-definition of ones own society. To start, the author sets a personal tone of desire and devotion to ones beloved. She shows ones worth in the first few lines of a simile “I belong to you like an acre of land which I have planted,” here the poet doesn’t mind becoming a part of mans property, she is deeply devoted to him. Nevertheless, it can also bring meaning into a hard days work of maintaining the land and applying that to her...

...Roman Architecture Today Randy Hilliard Randy Hilliard 2 HUMN 101-C02 03/10/12 Roman Architecture Today The Basilica of Constantine in ancient Rome is remarkable in it's scale and purpose. It had multiple rooms designed for any number of uses. Political gatherings, business meetings, and several other types of functions. It was located in the heart of the Roman city. Looking closely at this structure, I thought of one such structure today that is very similar in both structure and use to this great basilica of Roman times. The Georgia Dome in Atlanta, GA. It is in the shape of a circular or oval building, with the roof in a great dome shape, just like the Romans used in the Basilica of Constantine. The Georgia Dome has a huge opening in the middle of the building, with thousands of seats aranged around it so that everyone would be facing the center of the arena as they sat down. Behind these seats and out along the outer part of the building are hundreds of rooms ranging in use from private viewing areas, concession stands where you can eat, rooms for business meetings and several other uses. This building resembles the Basilica of Constantine in all of these ways, but it also has similarities to the ancient Colosseum of Rome. People gathered here to watch ancient games and battles of gladiators. In this sense, the Georgia Dome is used for football games, concerts, wrestling events as well as other events that attracts thousands...

...Walter C. Gwin Sr. HUMN-B21 Elgin Marbles I will take the position that the Elgin Marbles should remain in the British museum. Ancient artifacts are a means of understanding a culture’s value system, their beliefs and their worldview. It is important that these artifacts be preserved as much as possible. The Parthenon is “the greatest of all Greek temples. It was built in the old Doric order, even though it was built in the middle of the classical age when the Ionic style was coming into vogue” (Babcock, p82). The Parthenon had stood for over 2500 years and was well preserved. It was built as a gift to Athena the goddess of Athens. It was their way of showing their appreciation to Athena for her help in defeating the Persians. Lord Elgin removed the relics from the temple as a way of preserving them. After all they have been described as being among the greatest of all Greek art. After the battle between the Turks and the Venetians the inside of the Parthenon had been blown out and “the residents helped themselves to the ancient marble and used it for private building material” (Babcock, p82). It is clear that if the sculptures had not been removed to Brittan they probably would have perished by now through natural elements or vandalism. The artifacts helps to culturally link Greece with other great civilizations as wells display the contributions that ancient Greece has made in helping in the development of other cultural achievements in Rome, Europe and Asia, and other...

...Joanne Jones Professor Jacqueline Ortoleva HUMN-302 August 31, 2011 Early Civilization The history of early civilization can be seen throughout our society in many ways, even today. From inventions such as the cotton gin and the printing press to the start of industrialization. These inventions can be associated with music, fashion, graphic design, and interior design. This is the history of early civilization that continues to impact and play a major role throughout our society today. This assignment relates to my major Audio Production in a few different ways. For example, the pressing of album art and compact discs would not be possible if it were not for the Paleolithic people painting and drawing on walls in caves. In turn this lead to other forms of expressions such as, written word and period art pieces. Also, musical influences from earlier civilizations, cultures, and regions can still be found throughout all music genres today. It has been stated that there has been a discovery of handmade instruments in caves that could be traced back to the pre-historic time period (Whipps). In closing, there are many things that can be seen within our society today that has been influenced by earlier civilizations. From our music to art and the ways in which we communicate, these influences can be seen everywhere. Without these influences the world, as we know it, may not exist. Works Cited Whipps, Heather.
