...Felicia Campbell English 120-21 Craig Smith Fast Write Essay Question 1: If you were a parent how would you make sure that you child avoids second hand smoking? Presenter: Charles Carol Source: BBC News online, March 5th 2014 As a parent I really cannot avoid my child to be exposed to second hand smoking because it is in the air. What I would do is educate them about the negative effects smoking causes and tell them to try to avoid smoke filled areas as much as possible. As a parent I can only try to avoid the amount of smoke exposure as possible but second hand smoke cannot really be avoided. This question was an okay one but unrealistic. It really wasn't an important question to me because it was noway realistic in my opinion. I would give the presenter a B for effort an presentation. Question 2: Do you agree with VAT tax why or why not? Presenter: Ava Turnquest Source: Tribune Online Feb,24 2012 I don't agree with the VAT because it is not clear on who and what will be taxed. Not only is it unclear but based on reports from other countries such as Barbados, the VAT has made their economy poorer. The standard of living has dropped and the middle class was eliminated. I think that it should be looked at more carefully before its is implemented in my country. This question was an important and realistic one. It made me think of me and my country's well being. I would give the presenter and A. Question 3: Does a country have the right...

...English A Barrier Intended to Mark a Boundary Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary defines fence as “a barrier intended to prevent escape or intrusion to mark a boundary”. August Wilson’s Fences portrays the barrier around the Maxson family. “The setting is the yard which fronts the only entrance… The yard is a small dirt yard, partially fenced, except for the last scene…” (0.1-0.3). Throughout the play Wilson uses the description and placement of the fence to change the mood in the scene or the attitudes of the characters. “Much of the conflict… arises because the characters are at odds with the way they see the past and what they want to do in the future”(sparknotes.com). Whether the fence is too keep people in or out, there is always a struggle to know what is on the other side. Corresponding to the text, August Wilson’s own life is exemplified. Wilson uses “the settings of all but one of the plays [in] the Pittsburgh ‘hill district’” (Edgar 1328). During the early part of his life was spent living in poverty. Wilson’s father soon left the family by the time he was five leaving his mother, Daisy, to care for the six children. She later remarried and moved to the Hill District. Wilson felt the pressure of being one of the only African-American students and dropped out of school to teach himself in the library. “He educated himself so well that eventually the Library granted him a degree”(Edgar 1328). When writing Fences, Wilson pulled from the 1950s and the Civil Rights...

...worry in this world if people like him but that people are doing right next to him. Troy tries to prepare Cory for the real world and what will be expected by giving him advice even though Cory and Troy have different opinions. One of the opinion that may differentiate between them is Cory continuing to play football in college, but Troy thinks that a black man won't be allowed to play football. Corys believe that if he's gets recruited by the college football coach he has a chance to play football while Troy thinks otherwise. Troy tries to form Cory into a successful man than compared to Troy of being a garbage collector. A quote that demonstrates this is when Troy said, “ The white man ain't gonna let you get nowhere with that football noway. You go on and get your book-learning so you can work yourself up in that A&P or learn how to fix cars or build houses or something, get you a trade. That way you have something can't nobody take away from you. You go on and learn how to put your hands to some good use. Besides hauling people's garbage”(Wilson 35;act1.3). Troy thinks that Cory won't have a successful future following the football path but if he studies and learns to be something meaningful like continuing to work at the A&P and get promoted or learn to fix cars or build houses he would be successful and nobody can take that away from him. Troys says this so he won't become a garbage collector. Throughout the play is was demonstrated that Tory's life should be honored since...

...bias and showing favoritism to her female students. It was interesting to see this issue come to light, and was something I probably would have never noticed before this class. With one of the teachers I discussed her school’s Gay-straight alliance and its’ affect on the school. This is a subject that is near and dear to my heart as I was a member of the alliance in high school. It was reassuring to me to see the positive results the school has had already having when the program is just becoming well known. They have had substantial decreases is derogatory language aimed at LGBTQ students within the school, and that is an amazing start. I expected to possibly see some English as second language students in my observations, but I was in noway prepared for the affect this would have on me. I witnessed the struggles and hardships these students face in their quest to acquire a quality education. I also witnessed the short comings of the school and teachers in handling these diverse students. The teacher did not speak any Spanish, and relied on Bilingual students who just happened to be in the same class. When she tested the students she provided the exam in Spanish if needed. However, she only taught the difficult terms in English. The school did not provide adequate opportunities for these students to learn and advance. This experience was truly life changing for me! 5. Final thoughts While I would not of considered myself privileged as a student, I did grown up White, in a...

...companies faced consequences for either their breaching or their companies breaching the law. The first case I would like to talk about is that which the online payment gateway PAYTM finds itself in, especially its two directors Vijay Shekhar Sharma and Harinder Pal. An FIR was lodged against the two of them after a credit card fraud was uncovered. Fraudsters would call credit card users pretending to be from the bank and inform them that there was something wrong with the card and the pin needs to be changed. This way they would collect the pin number and after doing that , they would recharge their sim cards or do online shopping through PAYTM. In all, about 300 customers were duped to the tune of about 22 Lakh rupees. Though PAYTM was in noway directly involved in the fraud , they were still held accountable under Section 79 of the IT Act proffers safe harbor to intermediaries (marketplaces, aggregators and platforms), as long as they act on complaints and do not knowingly allow the usage of their platform to break the law. A director can be liable for things out of his reach sometimes, hence it is still very important to work within the laws and make sure that when the time arises you can prove your innocence. Another popular case was that of Snapdeal. Maharashtra Food and Drug Authority has ordered the filing of an FIR against Snapdeal CEO Kunal Bahl and directors for selling prescription drugs online. Though Snapdeal did not directly sell the drugs , one of the sellers on its...

...ENC 1102 Research Paper May 1st, 2013 Unreasonable Discrimination Racial discrimination is an issue that has persisted through many centuries and across geographical boundaries. Members of the black race have been strongly affected by racial discrimination since colonial times when white conquerors brought blacks from Africa as slaves to carry out hard labor jobs. Meanwhile, conquerors treated African slaves as inferior and usually worse than an animal. Society has evolved since and through a lot of work and effort, in the United States and most countries in the world slavery has been abolished and there is a constitutional equality among citizens regardless of their race or background. However, in reality our society even today experiences different degrees of racial discrimination. In spite of this, African Americans have fought against racial discrimination sometimes resorting to physical means, but most importantly utilizing intellectual means. African Americans through centuries have written poems, stories, plays and motivational speeches that express their pride in overcoming hardships in a way that could never be silenced. This way, African Americans have shown over the years that they are not an “inferior” race as it was considered in colonial times. The Homo sapiens species is so diverse that it is difficult to draw clear lines between humans based on their race or the color of their skin. However, even today societies attempt to classify people...

...Elements of an Essay/Research Paper Writing Process The series of steps that most writers follow in producing a piece of writing. The five major stages in the writing process are finding a topic and generating ideas (discovering), focusing on a main or controlling idea and mapping out an approach (organizing), preparing a rough draft (drafting), reworking and improving the draft (revising), and proofreading and correcting errors. Discovering – The first stage in the writing process. It may include finding a topic, exploring the topic, determining purpose and audience, probing ideas, doing reading and research, planing and organizing material. Discovery usually involves writing and is aided considerably by putting preliminary thought and plans in writing. Organizing – The sequence in which the information or ideas in an essay are presented. Drafting – The stage in the writing process during which the writer puts ideas into complete sentences, connects them, and organizes them into a meaningful sequence. Revising – The stage in the writing process during which the author makes changes in focus, organization, development, style, and mechanics to make the writing more effective. Editing – The last stage in the writing process during which the writer focuses on the details of mechanics and correctness. Discovering Audience – The readers for whom a piece of writing is intended. Many essays are aimed at a general audience, but a writer can focus on a specific group of readers...

...An Exegesis of Russell and Frege When people tell people that I’m philosophy major they usually ask two questions: 1. Why would you ever want to study philosophy? and 2. What will you ever to do with a philosophy degree? The way these questions are frame usually come across as a straw-man argument connoting to such a pursuit is a fruitless endeavor. Despite societal preconceived notions of philosopher they fail to see major contributions that they have given society from governments, ethics, and technology. Most people are not aware that without the advancement that were made in the philosophy of language, we wouldn't have the knowledge to build computers. Perhaps computers could be attributed as the major contributors to the advancements that we have seen in our society. Computers have infinitely impacted the way that we approach the world, its impacted the food we eat, security (for better and worse), scholarly pursuits, social networking, etc. its hard to imagine a world that doesn't have computers; without computers we wouldn't have all the inventions and services that have come about because of them. It was the work of four philosophers / logicians: Gottfried Leibniz, Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell, and Alan Turning. Leibniz invented the binary number system which allows all number to be expressed in terms of 0's and 1's. By expressing the numbers as 0's and 1's all you need is a register which has only has to process two options: on and off. But programming...

...MEG CABOT Pants on Fire One “Oh my God, what’s she doing here?” my best friend, Sidney van der Hoff, was asking, as I came up to the corner booth to hand out menus. Sidney wasn’t talking about me. She was glaring at someone at another table. But I couldn’t be bothered to look and see who Sidney was talking about, since my boyfriend, Seth, was sitting next to her, smiling up at me…that smile that’s been making girls’ insides melt since about the fifth grade, when we all started noticing Seth’s even white teeth and highly kissable lips. It still freaks me out that out of all the girls in school, I’m the one he picked to kiss with those lips. “Hey, babe,” Seth said to me, blinking his long, sexy eyelashes—the ones that I overheard my mom telling Sidney’s mom over the phone are totally wasted on a guy. He snaked an arm around my waist and gave me a squeeze. “Hi,” I said, a little breathlessly. Not just because of the squeeze, but because I had a twelve-top (Mrs. Hogarth’s ninety-seventh birthday party) that was running me ragged, refilling their iced tea glasses and such, so I was panting a little anyway. “How was the movie?” “Lame,” Sidney answered for everyone. “You didn’t miss anything. Lindsay should stick with red; blond does nothing for her. Seriously, though. What’s Morgan Castle doing here?” Sidney used the menu I’d just given her to point at a table over in Shaniqua’s section. “I mean, she’s got some nerve.” I started to say...

The dog was part of it. He wasn't fond of German shepherds, and this one, though he was standing quietly, reminded him of Panther, the police dog that rode with Deputy Kenny Moore and was quick to bite suspects in the crotch at the slightest command. Most of the time he regarded Moore as an idiot, but he was still just about the closest thing to a friend that Clayton had in the department, and he had to admit that Moore had a way of telling those crotch-biting stories that made Clayton double over in laughter. And Moore would definitely have appreciated the little skinny-dipping party Clayton had just broken up, when he'd spied a couple of coeds sunning down by the creek in all their morning glory. He hadn't been there for more than a few minutes and had snapped only a couple...
