Roosevelt wanted to get an up rise out of the American people, he done this through Charged Language. The Speech was a persuasive piece that’s purpose was to gain a war declaration. Roosevelt combined facts with rhetorical technique to produce a strong argument to convince congressional representatives and the American people that military action should be taken in response to Japans attack. Connotation was also used throughout his speech. For example, “But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us” (Roosevelt). Through out the speech, Roosevelt made clear Japan had deceived the untied stated and could not be trusted. “ Yesterday, December 7, 19941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by navel and air forces of the Empire of Japan”...

...Informative Speech: Cinco de Mayo gives most Americans a reason to drink tequila, eat tacos, and party hard. Today I will explain the history behind this holiday, common misconceptions, and why it is celebrated. According to History.com, Cinco De Mayo took place on May 5th 1862. It commemorates the Mexican army's victory over France at the Battle of Puebla. What was the reason behind the Battle of Puebla? Simply put, Mexico had trouble paying back war debts to European countries, and France had come to collect on this debt. To understand the significance of this victory, consider at the time of this battle, the French army was considered the premier army of the world. 6500 well armed French Troops went head to head against 4700 under equipped Mexican Soldiers. They battled fiercely for 2 hours, until the French were forced to retreat. The Mexican Soldiers thru sheer will and determination had defeated the most powerful army in the entire world. The reason Americans celebrate this holiday is that we appreciate the cultural signifigance of what this battle represents. (Victory in the face of great odds and the Patriotism it generated). A common misconception made with Cinco De Mayo is that it celebrates Mexicos Independence. According to Wikipedia,. Mexico celebrates its independence on September 16, because it was on that day in 1810 that Father Miguel Hidalgo[->0] took to his pulpit in the village church of the town of Dolores and invited his flock to take up arms and join him[->1]...

The water is hitting the rocks so hard, yet the sound is so peaceful. As a breeze blows against me, my hair brushes along my shoulder causing me to shiver. He notices my goose bumps, he moves closer.

...1) Throughout this class we have discussed the conduct of the major players at financial institutions and their role in leading their companies to the brink of failure, and in some cases have been successful (Bear Stearns, Lehman & AIG). With that as a starting point how important is character and ethics? What role(s) do you think boards of directors should play and did they exercise their fiduciary responsibilities to the shareholders and employees? Money is an important character in various financial institutions, but by itself is not necessarily evil. Rather, it is something that is used to trade goods and services. We call it "currency", and it allows us to do business between organizations. Unfortunately, that is the sterile dictionary-type definition but it does not capture all the issues that are involved with finances. In corporate life, just like in many other realms, money causes all sorts of problems. People make incredibly bad decisions because of money, and plenty of people have gone to prison because of their money-related behavior. This is why people always approach money with a certain amount of uneasiness. Here are a few thoughts on why financial management ethics are important. The numbers do not have a soul, so they cannot govern themselves. They must be managed by people. Ethics are important because finances make people do some strange things. The spreadsheet does not have a conscience, and the goal of working with spreadsheets is to make numbers add...

When I took a trip to Britain, I thought people would speak with a “British accent.” I didn’t realize that there are many different accents and the differences are not just pronunciation, but also vocabulary. In order to get my message across, I learned to avoid using slang words as much as I could. I didn’t realize how much American slang I use in my everyday speech! Despite the many different ways of speaking English across the UK, I felt the way that I speak English made me stick out as an American. W hen we think of “communication,” we tend to think about the verbal elements of communication: the words people choose, the accents they speak with, and the meanings they convey through language.

So far, no such research has been done on this area. Hence, the purpose of this study is to examine factors affecting subscribers’ acceptance towards using 3G mobile service. From this study, the mobile service providers could use the findings to understand user demand and behavior. II. LITERATURE REVIEW Abstract—This paper aims to find out the key factors influencing mobile users to adopt 3Gtechnology and affecting the subscriber’s feedback while using third generation (3G) mobile services that are available for one year in Bangladesh. An interesting fact that motivated this research was the significant low rate of 3G service usage among mobile operators in Bangladesh though we get the completely opposite picture worldwide. To examine the user acceptance and to depict user behavioral pattern, data were collected from 200 respondents through a survey. The analysis was done into two categories: one was in general and the other one was department based. The results of the study revealed the user intention, awareness, attitude, expectation, key 3G service usage etc. The findings have future implications for existing as well...
