...Taylor Hutson Dr. Dennis Winston English-104 13 October 2015 Writing in My Field Radio expands far beyond the bounds of hip-hop, rhythm and blues, and pop music streamed from countless stations across the nation. It is much more than mundane news, traffic and weather updates and is not limited to sports broadcasts. Much like a painted canvas radio paints a mental masterpiece, filled with life stories, musical applications and paired with contextual reporting and analysis. For me, radio grasps my mind from the familiar confines of the world around me and places me in a world far beyond anything that I have actually experienced. Accounts of how a French scuba diver nearly drowned to death in a pursuit to save the life of another diver followed by the scary reality of death among the lives of senior citizens in hospice care are only some of the many intriguing stories that inspire me write for radio broadcasting. “How A Woman’s Plan to Kill Herself Helped Her Family Grieve” written by Alex Spiegel is another story that specifically captures the listener within the confines of its broadcast. Sandy Bem had Alzheimer’s disease—a disease that corrupts the mind’s capacity to remember important family members, read, and write. This disease left Sandy feeling helpless and depressed, later causing her to “commit” suicide—assisted suicide. As Sandy’s health began to deteriorate her feelings of helplessness grew to the point of despair. After wallowing in sadness for countless months...

...Religion and Science REL 212 October 11, 2013 Professor Richardson Religion and Science When viewing Chapter 1’s podcast titled “Scholar Says Religion and Science Can Co-exist”, I agree with the notion that both can coexist. As mentioned by Michel Martin from the Faith Matters show, “religion is about the why. Science may be about the how” (NPR News, 2010). In my opinion, this makes perfect sense. I feel that when a child is born, they are automatically placed in a religion in which their parents believe. At that time, no one could tell the child anything different because that is all they know. As the child experience life as an adolescent, their fate and belief, will be tested giving room for questions to be asked and applied to science. Guest speaker Professor Francisco Ayala mentioned that, “the world is one and the same but what we see through those windows is different” (NPR News, 2010). In the early stages in life, what a person is groomed to believe is what they will continue to believe. Through experiences, a person is given a chance to determine if they will continue to believe what has been instilled in them or take another view in life and see what can be proven through science. People who are open-minded can see many different spectrums of the world. Closed-minded people are not willing to accept the fact that there may be more to what they have been told to believe. When viewing the Chapter 2’s podcast titled “Living Vodou”, I again,...

...I had the topic for this speech chosen since the second or third week of class. Public radio is such a big part of my life and the life of my family that I knew it would be something that I could write passionately about. When I started to prepare this speech, I initially had a hard time finding sources. I was focusing on Chicago Public Media as a whole and that was only bringing up one or two hits other than Chicago Public Media’s website. After struggling through that for a few days, I realized that what I really wanted to emphasize was Chicago Public Radio so I searched for that instead. Thankfully I came up with several sources and I built my paper upon those. I knew that Chicago Public Radio had a fantastic program line-up and that I could use that as the basis for my argument. People love to be entertained. And most people think that Chicago Public Radio is just old people news – all stale and boring. I knew that I had a prime opportunity to expose everyone in class to the diversity that is Chicago Public Radio. I initially struggled with how to organize my speech without it just becoming one big “send your money to WBEZ” talk. I wanted clear reasons so I chose to focus on three main ideas: News, Entertainment and Community. They are the three big focuses of Chicago Public Radio and WBEZ so I knew that I would find tons of information to back those up. When I started looking at all of the different news programs that are aired, I was amazed at how...

...Perfectly Preserved I attended the Big Morongo Valley Preserve on National Public Lands Day. My mom drove me to Morongo Valley on September 30, 2017. The rangers spoke to us about what I did to better the preserve. I chose to trim trees and clear walking paths. Two rangers explained how to properly trim trees to not harm plants. Trimming branches allows trees to grow healthy branches and leaves by the “removing of dead matter” (“Tree Trimming: Why It Is Important”). To successfully clear each path, the group of volunteers and I took five pairs of different shears, gloves, and tarps to place the clipped branches. Trees create a long lasting impression on people as well as “the effect of the mood” on the community (Evens, Erv “Trees of Strength”)....

...goal, suffrage. Additionally, these leaders utilized publicity to further support development. Furthermore, publicity is another crucial component that was utilized to fight women’s suffrage. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a suffragist, began the publicity of action with the Seneca Falls Convention. This occurred in 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York, and was the first gathering to discuss women’s rights. However, newspapers throughout the U.S. criticized the women and the movement, calling it unfeminine and immoral. But in spite of this, she was pleased with how much attention their ideas were gaining (One Woman, One Vote). To continue, when women picketed the White House in 1917 to support their cause, they were arrested for “obstructing sidewalk traffic”. While they were in jail, they were treated atrociously. Alice Paul began a hunger strike with other women, but this was quickly shut down. They were forced through feeding tubes against their...

...Global Managers 1. Discuss who is responsible for producing global leaders. The tasks of producing global leader is the responsibility of the organization, parent country, and the host country. Global organizations compete with a much broader group of companies than their domestic counterparts. They operate at the highest level of involvement in the global marketplace and must develop several strategies that are efficient and cost-effective. These organizations are flexible and compete by offering top products tailored to segments of the market while keeping costs as low as possible. They may have multiple headquarters spread throughout the world and have a decentralized decision making structure.

...People deposit all their trust in the political leaders of this world. They believe their leaders will choose the best decision to protect them over selfish personal interests. If a selfish individual ends up in the position of power only negativity can emanate. Richard Nixon, 1968 U.S. President, and Adolf Hitler, 1933 founder of Nazi party, were both power-hungry leaders. Nixon created an informal office to investigate the national security breaches, spy on his opponents, and engage in political dirty tricks during the election of 1972. He directed the Internal Revenue Service and the Justice Department to punish his enemies and reward his friends to retain his power. Hitler converted Germany from a parliamentary democracy to a totalitarian dictatorship along with the mass killing of Jews to consolidate his power (Divine 641). These men took advantage of the trust bestowed to them, are now deemed as some...
