...Tick. Tock. At one moment while writing, you are looking at a blank document on your computer. Two seconds later, you are looking at the tweet you were tag in on your phone. Time is passing by faster than you know it. You realize now, the deadline on submitting your writing is approaching. You panic. You start to write random sentences, hoping that it will all make sense towards the end. Writing is a piece of art, therefore it should not include a deadline for submission. A deadline should not exist. A deadline affects the process of crafting a writing piece by focusing on the time of submission rather than the formation and creation of the writing. Writing should be about expressing feelings or emotions towards a topic that stands out. It takes time to create a work of art, and time is pressuring only affects the writing even more. If we are writing a paper for school or a book, the submission should be once the writing piece is finished on its own. A deadline should not be able to determine when the writing gets to be finish or when the writing is good enough to be submitted. In my experience, I have struggled so much to turn in my writing assignments on time. I am pressure by the time the writing assignment has to be turned in. By having a deadline on my writing assignments, I feel my writing does not come into one whole. By this I mean, that my writing is not good enough because I am focusing more on time than the writing itself. Since high school, when my teacher would assign...

...The effectiveness of a speech depends on how the orator uses persuasive techniques. In The Speech in the Virginia Convention, Patrick Henry uses persuasive techniques of emotion and logic to urge colonists to fight for their independence from Britain. Emotion or pathos is a powerful technique that can enrage or calm the audience. Patrick Henry uses this idea effectively by trying to invoke the audience’s sense of fear and desire when he says “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!” The fear of being enslaved by the British makes the audience wary of all the cruel actions that have been done to the colonists by the British. The sense of desire for a life without chains...

...Introduction Today we are constantly surrounded by information through the media, the radio, billboards, and advertisements, and the need for critical thinking skills could not be stressed enough. Through these resources, persuasive techniques are used to convince us to share others beliefs and values, and to adopt their way of thinking. We need to develop and apply critical thinking skills in order to know what to believe when it comes to analyzing information and how to determine the relevance and importance of arguments and ideas. The need for these skills will be demonstrated through two examples, a television advertisement “Nutrisystem Fast 5 Nationwide Launch” featuring Marie Osmond and the following website www.WebMD.com Part one Advertisement When it comes to advertisements, most people don’t...

...Martina Korpue Introduction to Ethics Professor Fumerton November 30, 2012 “Ethical judgments are social instruments” In his essay “The Emotive Meaning of Ethical Terms”, Charles Leslie Stevenson (C.L. Stevenson), a professor of philosophy who taught at the University of Michigan, theorizes that the function of ethical statements is not to describe, but is rather to prescribe. He claims that language carries a type of meaning which he calls ‘emotive meaning’, rather than descriptive meaning and uses many examples of the term ‘good’ to establish his belief. He aims at showing that the notion of ‘good’ is equivalent to taking favor of something (“X is good”= “I like X”). Stevenson’s in-depth analysis of the concept of ‘good’ ultimately shows his readers the reality that the disagreement over whether something is good or not is just simply a disagreement in attitude. The first method used in determining the emotive meaning of ethical statements is to first address ethical questions in answering the question ‘Is X good?’ by what Stevenson calls ‘substitution’. He explains that in order to help understand this concept, the question must be substituted by a question that is free from ambiguity and confusion (Stevenson 370). It would not make sense to substitute this question with one that is irrelevant or with one that is the same as the question being assessed. He uses an example of substitution with the statement ‘Is X pink with yellow trimmings?’ This statement clearly has...

...Every ounce of information about you can be found in a background check or just a simple search on the Internet. In the Law and Order episode “Access Nation”, Tracey Conley’s privacy was tarnished. Her client, a convicted rapist by the name of Virgil Rice, paid Access Nation on four occasions to find information regarding Tracey. This is information led to her death shortly after the information was given to Mr. Rice. Personal experiences or data regarding one’s life should be kept private from the public. Three main factors tie into this episode: ethos, logos, and pathos. These persuasive techniques are used in everyday life. In this episode, ethos, logos, and pathos allow viewers to realize how often these techniques are used and how important they are when dealing with investigative work. In the following paragraphs, I will describe certain scenes of the episode that deal with each of the techniques. Of the...

...Bonjour tout le monde. Je m’appelle Aprameya et aujourd’hui, je veux vous parler au sujet de l’éducation axée sur la carrière. Particulièrement, je parlerai sur mes objectifs professionnels de devenir pilote, et mon expérience en école de pilotage. Cette présentation correspond avec notre labo 5, à propos de l’éducation et les médias. Depuis j’étais petit, j’avais un rêve, de devenir pilote, quand je grandisse. Alors, chaque fois ma famille voyageait, toujours j’étais tellement passionné ; j’avais hâte de voir des avions, de les entrer ; de me sentir quand on décolle à l’air. En occasion, je parlais avec les pilotes, et je les ai dit que j’aime volant, et que je veux devenir pilote aussi. Alors que je grandissais, j’étais plus en plus sur que je dois apprendre le pilotage. Quand j’avais 12 ans, j’ai commencé mon éducation axée sur la carrière. J’ai joint une école de pilotage, et chaque semaine, j’étudiais les cours de l’aviation. Pour moi, c’était la réalisation d’un rêve. Je me souviens toujours ce que je me suis senti après mon premier décollage, le moment où les roues ont quitté le sol, et ensuite, ma première solo, quand j’étais tout seul au ciel, c’est vraiment incroyable. Sans aucun doute, ça classe au premier rang dans ma liste des expériences. Je pense que ces cours supplémentaires, où quelqu’un peut apprendre des sujets qui correspondent avec leurs buts personnels et professionnels, sont très importants dans un compétitif marché du travail. Il y a trois raisonnes...

...Qui saurait de nos jours se passer du fameux téléphone? Nous devons cette merveilleuse invention à Alexandre Graham Bell. Durant cette présentation, nous allons vous parler de ce personnage qui a changé l’histoire de la communication. Alexandre Graham Bell est né le 3 mars 1847 à Édimbourg en Écosse. Il devient citoyen Canadien en 1882. Il avait deux frères : Melvin James Bell et Edward Charles Bell. Tous deux morts de la tuberculose. À sa naissance, Bell n’avait pas encore de deuxième prénom. Ce n’est qu’à l’âge de 11 ans qu’il fit la demande pour avoir Graham inclus dans son nom. C’était son cadeau d’anniversaire. Ses parents s’appelaient Alexander Melvin Bell et Eliza Grace. Son père était un professeur de diction. Durant son enfance, Alexandre collectionnait des espèces botaniques et réalisait déjà ses premières expériences. Encouragé par sa mère, Bell s’intéresse aussi à l’art, la poésie et la musique. Quand Bell avait douze ans, sa mère commença à perdre graduellement l’audition. C’est pour cette raison qu’il a appris le langage des signes pour pouvoir communiquer avec elle. La surdité de sa mère amène Alexandre à étudier l’acoustique. À l’école, la science et la biologie étaient ses intérêts principaux. Ses notes, cependant étaient piètres, car il manquait souvent les cours. Il déménage à Londres pour vivre avec son grand-père après avoir quitté l’école. C’est dans cette période de sa vie qu’il prit goût à l’enseignement. À 16 ans, à Weston House...

...« De nombreuses études sur l’impact de la musique sur le développement ont été menées, mais plutôt auprès d’enfants plus âgés», explique Laurel Trainor, directeur de l’Institut McMaster pour la musique et l’esprit. « Nos résultats suggèrent que le cerveau du nourrisson pourrait être particulièrement réceptif à « l’exposition musicale » ». L. Trainor, en collaboration avec David Gerry, professeur de musique, a d’ailleurs reçu un prix de la Fondation Grammy en 2008 pour son travail sur les effets de la musique dans la petite enfance. Dans cette nouvelle étude, des bébés et leurs parents ont suivi durant 6 mois un des deux cours de musique hebdomadaires proposés : La première classe de musique formait à la musique interactive et à l’apprentissage d’une petite série de berceuses accompagnées d’actions. Les parents et les enfants ont appris à jouer ensemble des percussions et à chanter. La seconde classe de musique proposait différents jeux et jouets, mais avec un fond musical en arrière-plan. Au départ de l’étude, tous les bébés présentaient une capacité de communication et un niveau de développement social similaires, aucun n’avait déjà participé à des classes de musique pour bébés. Une sensibilité évidente à la musicalité : «Les bébés qui ont participé aux cours de musique interactifs avec leurs parents montrent de manière plus précoce une sensibilité à la musique, au son juste, alors que les nourrissons qui ont participé à des classes d’écoute passive ne montrent pas les mêmes...

...production units. An effective supervisor ought to be a trained observer and possess record keeping skills. Also, they should know how the job is done and the time required to accomplish. Observation is simple to use and acquires first-hand information. However, the method can cause bias to some workers and is also time-consuming. Questionnaires method can also be used in the job analysis process. The technique is further categorized in two i.e. open-ended questionnaires or well-structured questionnaires. The former can be utilized by both the supervisors and incumbents while open inquiry requires only the workers to describe the job how they understand it. The technique can reach more workers, but the responses could be incomplete making it difficult to interpret. Interviewing applied in the job analysis process. In this method, the employees and other incumbents are interviewed individually after which the results are aggregated (Algera & Greuter, 2013). Other times a group interview is performed by selecting several incumbents who undergo interview at the same time. The technique works well with for occupations with long cycles. Use of a checklist has been frequently applied to job analysis. A list is filled by either the supervisor or an incumbent. The method is preferred as it is economical and very simple to administer. Technical conference method is preferable in the organization dealing with processing. It involves the collaboration of...

...same subdued, muted colors” (Sasika line 10 &12). From the diction used, subdued and muted gives us insight on the character of the mother, a synonym of this is quite giving the reader the impression that the mother is also quite. Later on in the prose it goes on to say, “All in browns and neutral shades, the color she preferred”(Sasika), this line shows that the mother preferred colors, which reflected the mother’s sense of emotion through the use of the color of the string. The symbolism throughout the prose is portrayed by the different colors the mother uses to loom with which connects to her state of mind/emotion. She uses a technique to disguise her true emotions by hiding them in a plain boring piece of work, “Startling the eye when it was turned over” (Sasika line 18), this could symbolize the fact that the mother would use this technique to show people two different emotions, one which is plain on one side an other which is more happy and bouncy if people paid closer attention to the minute details....

...Dans quelles mesures peut-on dire que l’entreprise Google est en pleine expansion depuis le début du 21ème siècle ? Google est une entreprise américaine crée en 1998 dans l’état de Californie et spécifiquement dans la Silicon Valley qui fut un réel point de départ de plusieurs firmes axées sur le domaine des nouvelles technologies. Larry Page est l’actuel PDG de la société concurrencée par Yahoo et Bing notamment. En France, la firme américaine est dirigé par John Walker et Graham Law, et à l’international son Chiffre d’Affaire est proche de 24 milliards de dollars. L’entreprise crée en 1998 par Larry Page et Serguei Brin a eu une constante croissance depuis les années 2000. On peut par exemple prendre en compte que le Chiffre d’affaire global en France était de 33 millions en 2008, 40 en 2009 et 53 en 2010. (Dijk, 2011) Son expansion internationale a été fulgurante également depuis la création du logiciel de recherche et le système d’exploitation pour les mobiles Androïd qui leur a permis de faire des alliances avec des marques comme Samsung et Sony Ericsson. Cet énorme investissement a étendu leurs ventes vers l’Asie notamment avec les collaborations avec Motorola et HTC dans les Smartphones. Leurs parts de marchés est donc en continue augmentation. (Times, 2011) La hausse du pouvoir intercontinental de Google rappel clairement l’internationalisation des entreprises comme Microsoft ou Apple qui ont augmenté leurs recettes incroyablement et en continuant actuellement toujours...
