...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This chapter deals with the foundation and general overview of the research undertaken. It consists of the background of the study, the research questions, the aims of the study, the significance of the study, the research method, the data source, the data collecting and analyzing techniques, the clarification of key terms and the organization of the paper. 1.1 Background Human language is human’s potential as a mean of intentional communication (Yule, 1996: 20). People use language to communicate with each other. Thus, the use of language plays a very important role in people’s communication. There are various languages in this world and those languages are used by people in different nations and ethnics. Different languages used by people in different places and communities are defined as language varieties (Hudson, as cited in Wardhaugh, 1992: 21). People not only need to communicate with other people in one nation or ethnic who use the same language, but they also need to communicate with other people in other nations or ethnics who use different languages. Understanding people’s languages in the language varieties is the way to make a good communication. Therefore, a good understanding is required by people whose languages are different, in order to make a successful communication. 1 There are many ways that can be used to understand different languages and one of them is translation. Translation is the process of rendering the meaning of a text...

...Theoretical Analysis Paper Using Sociological Themes to Analyze a Movie For this assignment, you will use sociological themes to analyze a movie. As you are watching one of the movies from the list provided by you T.A., think about the sociological themes that are presented either directly or indirectly in the film. Sociological themes may emerge in many different ways: the setting that the film is placed in; the relationship of the characters; dialogue; dialogue that is not said but expressed in different ways; symbolicism . . . . and the list could go on. This assignment has several goals: 1. Learning sociological themes 2. Gaining fluency in these themes 3. Lay the groundwork for future sociology or social science courses 4. Learning and practicing university-level writing What are “Sociological Themes?” By sociological themes we mean the generic categories of concepts and processes, institutions, and theories. These general categories are sufficiently broad enough to capture most of what we as sociologists collect, arrange, and share with one another—they form the “stuff” of what we do. |Sociological Themes | |Concept/Process |Institution |Theory | |Class |Family ...

...The Lovely Bones: A Comparison The book/movie “The Lovely Bones” is about a 14 year old girl named Susie Salmon who gets murdered on December 6th, 1973. The setting of this story takes place in a small town in Pennsylvania. Her murderer was a creepy middle-aged man named Mr. Harvey who was new to the neighborhood. Meanwhile, while no one suspects it was him who killed Susie, her family struggles throughout the book, and movie to cope with the loss of their daughter. Although the book and the movie are the very similar, there are some pretty obvious differences between them. For instance, in the book they say her elbow is found by a neighborhood dog, but in the movie, no elbow was found, just her puff-ball hat her mom knitted her. Another...

Once the writers are lucid about the technique of writing an essay and how to write an essay outline, the next step that they face up to is how to move toward a particular research paper topic. And what type of writing works best? Students often complain about a certain type of essay they have been assigned with. It seems to them that writing within essay type boundaries doesn’t allow them to think out the box, limits their potential. But writing a paper without any directions could be even more confusing than the class assignment you got. Do not think about the limitations as of the prison walls, but as of the walls in your room where you feel free to paint murals or change nothing whatsoever, simply being in control of it, being yourself.

...topics in a book because it can be boring to read only words on a simple sheet of paper. Bottlemania is a great, descriptive, and resourceful book that I am convinced everyone should read at least once in his or her life. It’s overflowing with knowledge and examples of why bottled water is recently found to be poor for our economy and land. Besides the written form for educating the world, Tapped is a film that exemplifies all of the problems and horrors in the world because of the process of water bottle creation and distrubution. The movie seems to affect a greater amount of people than the book because of the visual effects as well as the soundtracks that follows. The similar aspects of Bottlemania and Tapped are that they both portray the harmful effects that bottled water does to our Earth as well as people. They also offer factual information that states how water was stolen by large corporate companies and used without the permission of the community, such as Fryeburg. Bottlemania and Tapped provide the readers with interviews that lead individuals to believe the information they are consuming comes from a reliable source. They all have a descriptive way of presenting examples of the harmful chemicals and substances that are in our drinking water, as well as the negative effects of producing water bottles. Corporations were also found stealing water from towns such as Fryeburg in the movie Tapped, and the affect it has on people’s lives and even the world’s living conditions...

...and larger groups. Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., listening to others with care, speaking one at a time about the topics and texts under discussion). Build on others’ talk in conversations by responding to the comments of others through multiple exchanges. Ask questions to clear up any confusion about the topics and texts under discussion. SL.1.6- Produce complete sentences when appropriate to task and situation. Objective: Given a word a student will be able to use a description wording by demonstrating an understanding of synonyms with 100% accuracy. Purpose: This lesson is to teach students that when telling stories, they cannot use the same word over and over again. When telling a story they can use more descriptive synonyms and many words that we commonly use everyday have synonyms that they can use to replace these overused words. Materials: -White board -“Boring” word magnets -synonym magnets -Word strips -Pencils -Expo Markers Anticipatory Set: Have the entire class come to the floor and sit in front of the teacher. To introduce this lesson I will introduce a scenario where a family goes on a trip and they come back to tell the class about the trip. Each person in the family says, “The trip was so much fun. We had so much fun on our trip. We had fun the whole time.” I will ask the students about how hearing the family say fun over and over make their trip seem uninteresting and make you wish they told you a little bit more? I will...

...Lorena Thoma Psych 1 Rm. # D135 Professor Nancy Melucci Term Paper: A Beautiful Mind. The film, A Beautiful Mind, is about the life of Mathematician John Nash and his struggle with paranoid schizophrenia. It follows his journey from the point in his life that he is completely unaware of his schizophrenia, to the point where, thanks to Princeton University, his employer at the time, along with his dedicated and faithful wife Alicia and their accommodations for him, find a way to properly manage his condition. The film succeeds in realistically describing the disturbed thinking, emotion, and behavior that characterizes this disorder, as well as the difficult management and recovery from schizophrenia. The movie communicates the vital importance of the factors that contributed to Nash’s recovery and achievement as an intellectual, such as the Nobel Prize in 1994 and world acclaim. His story shows first-hand the problems that come with the territory. This is the story about the mystery and complex functions of the mind, in its three main acts, genius, madness, and reawakening.in this paper I will discuss how accurate the depiction of schizophrenia is in the film. Nash shows many of the symptoms characterized by schizophrenia, such as being socially withdrawn. For example, at the beginning of the film Nash is very dissociated and awkward in social situations. He doesn’t seem to be well associated with people and becomes very anxious...

...The DJ Booth Even while standing inside a DJ booth can be loud and obnoxious, the excitement of playing music and controlling a huge crowd sends and unexplainable feeling through your body. When I first step into a DJ booth at Club Centers, located in the heart of Rochester, New York, my nerves start going crazy and butterflies hit my stomach so fast it feels like I have to puke. Just the sight of three turntables and an eight-channel mixer in front of my face is like sending a little kid into a candy store. While standing in front of my tables, I look to my right and I see my soundboard. This high-tech, silver plated sound machine stands about seven feet tall with about three hundred switches and knobs that control high pitches, low pitches, medium pitches and all of the digital effects. This soundboard is used when I put a shiny new record on one of the turntables. This will distort the sound quality of the song. The music sounds like a fire alarm, starting with a deep sound then rising to a high pitch screaming noise. As I look to my left, you see my beautiful blonde light girl working my light board. While the music is playing really loud, she will hit certain buttons that will make multi-colored lasers go in different directions and make many different shapes. Also, while the music is jamming, a common light known by many people as a strobe light will flash non-stop constantly. This light makes you see people dancing like robots and distorts the vision of that person ...

...In this paper I will be comparing and contrasting the book and movie “The Secret Life of Bees” The book “Secret Life of Bees” by Sue Monk Kidd is about a fourteen year old white girl, named Lily, trying to find out how her mother died exactly and what happened in her mother's past. Lily finds a family of 3 black women that are beekeepers that sell honey and she stays with them after running away from home because her mean Father. This story is set in 1964 in segregated South Carolina right after the Bill of Rights was signed. You might be wondering why does it matter that the movie is different than the book. One reason is because it gives you a completely different turn out in the book if the event is important enough. The first event I chose to compare is the scene about T. Ray, Lily’s father, coming to get Lily from the Boatright’s home after she had been living there for a while and gotten used to living with them. Lily was caught...

In order to qualify for relevancy, a cost must meet two criteria: (i) They affect the future and (ii) They differ among alternatives. Normally, the following are relevant Costs: Differential cost: A differential cost is the difference in cost items under two or more decision alternatives specifically two different projects or situations. Where same item with the same amount Appears in all alternatives, it is irrelevant Irrelevant cost: Sunk costs: are past costs. These cannot be changed with any future decision..

...CHAPTER 3 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY This chapter presents the method of research utilized in the study, the population, sample size, and sampling technique, description of the respondents, research instrument, data-gathering procedure, and statistical treatment used for data analysis. Research Method Used The descriptive method of educational research was employed in the study, since it describes what traits or what it is of a certain educational phenomenon. Borg defines the descriptive method as a distinctive research methodology of systematic data collection, presentation, and analysis. The method of research is concerned with conditions and relations that exist, practices that prevail, processes that are going on, point of view effects that are being felt, or trends that are developing. This method is the most appropriate method for this study, as Best asserts that the descriptive research goes beyond mere tabulation of data to the analysis and interpretation and meaning of what is being described. It involves a more in depth analysis through the use of numerical and comparative analysis.
