...Utilitarianism presents itself everyday when someone decides what is the greatest good for the greatest number of people. For example, my dad wakes me up in the morning to ask what I want for breakfast, I answer with eggs. He asks the same question to my mom and sister. They both want pancakes. When he decided to cook pancakes instead of the eggs he is making the decision based on the amount of people it benefits. At school decisions are made all the time, for instance this February the sophomore student council has to decide what the theme of Sadies will be. By voting democratically many people will definitely not get the theme they chose. However, the majority that picked that certain theme will be happy. For these dances we are concerned with generating a great amount happiness, to offset the troubled. Utilitarianism seems to encourage happiness over justice....

...exceptionally special because us, as a family, went on our second rafting trip. Our host was the Glacier National Park Rafting Company and our guides were Doc and John. The two of them took our family, as well as another older couple, on the exciting overnight rafting trip. On the last few days of our Glacier park reunion, The Thompsons decided to try out a new activity to raft down a river that borders the park. After two hot days of swimming in the pool of the best Koa, we arrived ready to be sent off on the river. From the office, everyone hopped on a bus and drove about thirty minutes up stream to be let off and sent away. During that time, the guides talked about the water levels and how the river will roar depending on the time of year. When the boats were hauled off of the buss and our luggage was packed tight into the supply raft, Doc floated away downstream to meet us at the camping spot. John got us prepared and ready with the tools that we will use for the day. Even though most of us already knew, John taught us how to row and when to row using the secret language of commands that he gave. Then we set off into the the water. The...

...“You get what you set out to do,” stated John Hanson, as he lead us to believe you can achieve what you want in life depending on how much you strive for it. John Hanson may be known as the first president under the Articles of Confederation, and the public official from Maryland during the American Revolution era, but in my most honest opinion, he is a determined leader who wanted the best for the Patriotic cause. John was also a merchant. Mr. Hanson is a father to 8 kids, which shows that he was able to put his family and his people as his main responsibility. A hero, such as John Hanson, is a person that is acknowledged for their high sense of courage, determination, and ability to put their priorities first. In addition, people in the world need heroes to lead them to safety and to make the world a more respected place. A hero is somebody who is willing to fight for what we need in life, and improve the lifestyle of their peers and citizens, just as John Hanson when he was the first president under the Articles of Confederation, who in reality is somebody who leads their country to safety and protection. Courageousness, the ability to always be respectful to others, confidence, and fearlessness are the most important traits to a true hero. Heroes from the American Revolution provided a strong example of how they were able to provide a better life for their people, which has over the...

...various resemblances to Charles Schmid. The first thing that comes to mind when comparing them is that they both have some concerns about their behavior. For example Bill writes, “He also dyed his hair, wore pancake makeup, put axle grease on his face for a beauty mark, wore a metal bridge on his nose pretending he had been injured, and at various times told his friends he had incurable cancer ” (2). In Oates she describes Arnold Friend “There were two boys in the car and now she recognized the driver: he had shaggy, shabby hair that looked crazy as a wig and he was grinning at her” (5). They both demonstrate of having dark shaggy hair and having odd personalities. Similarly the both exhibited strange walking habits that seemed that there was something stuffed in the bottom of their shoes. Joyce writes “He almost fell. But, like a clever drunken man, he managed to catch his balanced” (11). In the conclusion of the story Joyce writes “Arnold Friend was stabbing her with again and again with no tenderness” (14) People have different theories of what this quote means. To me it seems like Connie is getting raped, this would compare with Charles because he had raped Allen Rowe. Also something that stood out to me is that the friend in the car with Arnold could be friend John Sanders. John Sanders assisted with Charles murder. It appears that Ellie is helping Arnold commit this...

This case study analysis has discussed about various aspects of its business and provided recommendations for its future success. Product Line and Strategic Fit J M Smucker is achieving growth through following three strategies. Which are, growing in the market share of its existing brand, introducing new products and making strategic acquisition to increase product line.(John E Gamble. Case Study 17.

...don’t have the ability to think on their own. These two arguments will demonstrate why computers aren't able to have a mind. First let me elaborate what I mean by computers being created and controlled by humans. Computers are created to perform one or multiple tasks that make human life easier. Humans initiate very complicated programs in modern computers that allows the machines to fulfill millions of different tasks. The key here is that humans program these computers to complete tasks, giving the hardware only one duty which is given only by the human. So am I saying that programming is what makes a computer? Well lets take a deeper look at programming. Programming is simply providing a computer with coded instructions for the automatic performance of a particular task. Lets take an example of how a program works in a computer. In a paper written by John R. Searle, Minds, Brains, And Programming, John talks about how he pretends to be a program in a computer. In this program he is locked in a room and is given the task of answering questions in Chinese symbols. John has never spoken, written or understood any Chinese before. Outside the room will be Chinese natives asking and receiving Johns answers. John is given a manual full of symbols and english instructions that tell him to write a certain symbol if given a specific symbol. The purpose here is to demonstrate how a computer functions. For example, if I tell you, write this symbol “^!^” every time you see this symbol...

...the town. Everyone wanted to figure out who killed Rachael Smith. I had seen my sister just in the morning on the day she was killed. Rachael had seemed her normal self. I had not suspected anything was wrong with her. We had gone to breakfast on the boardwalk. She ordered her usual two chocolate chip pancakes and a side order of beacon. After breakfast, we went to visit our mother who was in the hospital. Our mom had been diagnosed with breast cancer eight months prior. The doctors said she should die any day now, and my sister and I were at peace with the thought of our mother being with our father in heaven. Our mother knew her days were numbered, so during our visit at the hospital, she decided to have her attorney read her will aloud to us before she died. Since my...

...relationship. Facebook is nothing more than a medium for communication, and yet, it is so much more than that. At a glance, a user can learn everything from what gender a Facebook member is, to what religion they believe in, what school they attend, and their likes and dislikes, all with the click of a mouse. With this convenience comes some risks. Facebook has a dark history of predators connecting with vulnerable young people over the Chat Client. There are event announcements, party attendance lists, friend lists, group lists, fan pages and The Wall where friends post messages. All of these things make it very easy for a predator to stalk victims in real time. The power of Facebook can be extremely underestimated. In October 2009, Rodney Bradford, a 19 year old would have never thought that a status update typed on Facebook would become – literally – his passport to freedom. “Where's my pancakes" Rodney typed from his father's apartment in Harlem. The day after, the young man was arrested as a suspect in a robbery. His defence lawyer, Robert Reuland,...

...Sarah Rosenzweig John McKenzie English comp My Crazy kook Father A bond is something special in life; you should cherish the ones who make you who you are. Beauty is not about looks, make-up or clothes. Beauty comes from within. Showing your true colors leads people to be more appreciative towards you. We learn from our peers. My siblings are a huge part of my life; we truly love each other. My parents taught us that our family would always be there for us no matter what. My dad is the man of the house. My family jokes that he’s the thermostat that sets the temperature in the house. My dad is a great guy; I’ve learned a lot from him throughout my life. Any man can be a father figure but it takes someone special to step up to the plate and be a dad. During my early childhood, my dad raised us for most of the time. Mom worked days and he worked nights. Every day he would make us breakfast. Our typical morning started off with orange juice, pancakes, French toast, eggs, or cereal. Whatever we wanted he would make it. He’s a chef by trade and loves to make things from scratch. He took orders from us and always cooked with a smile. We were rebels growing up and we put him through hell and back. His motto is, “You’re going to do whatever you want to do, so why should I say no”. He wanted us to learn from our own mistakes. I feel lucky to have a father that gave us our freedom from such an early age. I honestly believe that learning ‘the hard way’ works best for me. We were...

...The book I chose is titled, Good Neighbors: Communicating With The Mexicans by author John. C. Condon. This book was purposely made to eradicate those differences and provide guidelines for effective communication. This book shows the differences between the United States and Mexico and is extremely insightful for those thinking of traveling. This book opens with a foreward, which is an introduction written by another person and two prefaces (one to the second edition, and then to the first edition). In the foreward, writer Felipe Korzenny states that communication is an activity “we have engaged in since we were born” and that we take it for granted. He goes on to say that people tend to believe if they know the language of the country, there will be no complications, but that is incorrect. Communication is not just composed of language. It includes norms, values, perception, paralinguistics and other nonverbal communication. As a reader, once your grasp those concepts, you learn and adjust accordingly to a culture that is not your own. I chose this book particularly...
