...men — and boosting programs aimed at keeping teens out of the sex trade. Advocates want to shift from police intervention to prevention, after years spent toughening prison sentences for pimps and overhauling how the state treats sex trafficking victims. The new effort coincides with the attention Minneapolis will receive hosting the 2018 Super Bowl, an international event that will draw thousands of wealthy visitors and what experts say is a likely small surge in sex trafficking. But advocates say criminal sexual enterprise has taken root in the state and will remain long...

...she registers with the sex offender registry that correlates to exactly where they live. Sex offender registries are vital to every society within the U.S. for many reasons. These registries help communities know where their offenders are located so others can be aware of their location, area, city, and state that they live in. When offenders are convicted and released from prison, there are strict rules and guidelines that they have to follow for the rest of their lives. Offenders kind of have to live in a box within the world, which is no way to live at all. Criminals like this are known to society as scums because most of these older men and sometimes women violate and prey on their victims sexually. To be honest, I find this disgusting and most of them should be put away for life. When these offenders commit the crime, they scar the victim’s mind and hinder their developmental growth which may cause them to make poor decisions throughout life....

...Comprehensive Sex Education Teenage pregnancy rates are higher in American than they are in most other industrialized countries. This is a direct cause of the prominence of abstinence-only-before-marriage (commonly known as abstinence-only) education in United States schools. Besides teen pregnancy, abstinence-only education does more harm to America’s youth. There is a debate being discussed about how sexual education should be taught in schools. Even though abstinence-only education in schools promotes abstinence, a comprehensive sex education provides teenagers with accurate information, has community support, and empowers youth. Comprehensive and abstinence-only education are two very different approaches to the teachings of sexual education. Comprehensive education provides extensive information about contraceptive use, prevention of STDs, and sexual health while also promoting abstinence. It is an open-minded program that exposes students to some controversial topics like sexual orientation and gender identity while other types of programs often shy away from these discussions. On the other hand, abstinence-only education programs promote abstinence as the only option for teenagers and young adults...

...The Fight for Same Sex Marriage in the 6th Circuit The Fight for Same Sex Marriage in the 6th Circuit In the United States there is a current appeal occurring within the 6th circuit for the fight for same sex marriage/Gay marriage rights. The 6th Circuit issued the first ruling in favor of upholding laws that discriminated against same sex couple’s from a federal appellate court in the past several years (The Freedom to Marry, 2015). With all of the talk of marriage litigation and 60 rulings in favor of same sex marriage, it would seem that the country is ready for the freedom to marry for all. Quite a lot of people feel that everyone should be able to get married, and have the same rights as same sex couples despite loving someone of the same sex. In April 2015, the question of whether same-sex couples nationwide should have the right to marry will finally get to be heard in court before the U.S Supreme Court. For Years, people have one the freedom to marry from the courts of public opinion, to ballot boxes, to even the U.S Supreme Court (The Freedom to Marry, 2015). The argument of Marriage Equality raises the concern that denying marriage to same sex couples is unconstitutional and unfair which violates the American Values of freedom, liberty and respect. This argument has won over many voters, opinion leaders and courts all across the United States (The Freedom to Marry, 2015). The 6th Circuit is the first federal appellate court this year to rule against the freedom...

...Equals: Same-Sex Marriage We are taught in society at a very young age that we are all equal to one another, but as we get older we find that is not true. People are placed into different social classes, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, and so on. Marriage is a big defining point in one’s life. To say that we are not equal in the power of love is wrong; we are human, so same-sex marriage should be legal. The main reason for denying marriage to gay couples is that all major religions consider homosexuality a sin. Opponents claim that it would weaken the definition and respect for the institution of marriage. Dr. James Dobson is an evangelical Christian author, who wrote in his book Marriage Under Fire, with the family out of the way, all rights and privileges of marriage will accrue to gay and lesbian partners without the legal entanglements and commitments heretofore associated with it. Another disclaimer is that homosexuals make unfit parents, and that it would confuse the children about gender roles and expectations of society, and only a man and woman can pro-crate (Dr. James Dobson). First, there is no evidence to show that homosexuals make unfit parents, just biased opinions. In the article Marriage and Child Wellbeing it was put into context, “same-sex marriages are entirely unclear: children not being raised by same-sex couples—- which is to say, children being raised by opposite-sex couples, married or unmarried, or by single parents. How might same-sex marriage...

...Elijah LoBoen Writing the Essay 8:00 AM – 9:15 AM Professor Kellum November 28, 2011 Exercise Three Throughout the many essays that Geoff Dyer has written as a journey for his readers to embark on, I have learned that his purpose in written is add dimensions to a situation that seems one sided. How does he do this? Well, for example, in his essay “Sex in Hotels,” Dyer humorously expends on the action of having sex in a hotel. Immediately, those three words have the connotation of cheap and sleazy, however, Dyer pushes his readers to not think of it as a one-dimensional situation. One must see the action of having sex in a hotel as something classier by examining each and every step of the process. Masturbation, for example, is something that is done in peace in a hotel because it a safe haven where one can do such an action. Normally, it is looked down upon because one is doing it in a setting where is not accepted, however, in the “luxurious hotel,” Dyer comments, is fine. The tension within this author’s writing is less of something I have read, but more of something I have seen on television. For example, on various TV shows like Saturday Night Live, and the Soup, they insert humor into a serious situation in order to explain them and add a new dimension to something that seems like it only has a singular meaning. Dyer, in his collection of essays “Otherwise Known as the Human Condition” attempts to challenge his readers to see past it. Personally, it seemed...

...Macaulay and Rachel Rafelman thru their essays are trying to eradicate the stereotype, they are both almost speaking about the subject in their essays and the tone in the essays are almost the same, funny and at the same time keeping a serious tone underneath, sexism seems also to be a common point for these two author it seems to be the center of pretty much everything they’re talking about. Stereotype in the both essay as been pointed out and the authors seems to take people to that point where they are convicted enough to stop doing that thing which is stereotype not only that but they uses different other article to point to point that and say what think about it, for example, Ronald Macaulay; in his essay “Sex difference” uses novel and different other article to point the stereotype but not only that he also argues about it just as Rachel Rafelman in her essay “Party Line” uses interviews that she makes or other colleague Article to pointed that out and talk about it or argue about it, both author stick with the same idea that lead us to conclude that they are both talking about the same subject but just in two different environment, for example Rafelman in her essay she is at A Gala and Macaulay is just using Article, novel, journal to talk about the subject . In these essays the authors tone is what we can describe as having two side, funny and serious at the same time the reason why I am saying this is because in the essay the author are using it to keep use entertain...

...Summary of “Why Are Looks the Last Bastion of Discrimination?” Deborah L. Rhode has written several books based on race and gender. She wrote one essay titled “Why Are Looks the Last Bastion of Discrimination”. In this essay Rhode states that workers have been discriminated based on their attractiveness, also individuals seeking employment have also been declined a job or have been given a job based of their looks. In the essay Rhode argues that there should be a law established in the United States that is against looks discrimination. According to Rhode, the United States has made many laws in the past years to protect groups of people that are being discriminated based on sex, religion, race, or disability, yet there is no official law protecting employees that are being discriminated on their looks. Since there is no law that protects a person from this kind of discrimination, it is allowing corporations to discriminate an employment seeker, or a current employee based on his or her appearance. Rhode claims that companies discriminate people on their looks, because attractiveness is “job-related” and they want a person with an attractive appearance to represent their company. Deborah L. Rhode states that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and the fact that a boss has the power to say who is “attractive” or “unattractive” really gives employees a disadvantage in their job. This limits the person to show how good they can turn out to be in a certain job. Rhode insists...

...Name: Anh Van Tran Professor Erin Lebofsky-Downs ENG 0711 April 10, 2016 Reflective Essay To say that I was not surprised at all when I was informed that I had to take an introduction class of college academic writing was an understatement. I was almost expecting it. I was never good with my words, and I always preferred numbers and formulas to tenses and essays any day. However, after taking the course, I felt that I have improved immensely over time, and writing essays and journals no longer imposed as a heavy burden to me. During the semester, we were assigned to read several articles from different authors on two subjects: the frequency of speeches between men and women, and English as an official language in the United States. At first, I was not intrigued. The notion of having to read and analyze each writer’s style frightened me. After all, I was not even a decent writer, what rights did I have to criticize these authors whose works had been published and recognized by the public? Nevertheless, I did what I was told to do. Along the way, as I spent days to read the articles and made annotations everywhere on the paper and my notebook, I realized that these writers, as excellent and knowledgeable they were, still had some problems in their works. For example, in Macaulay’s “Sex Differences,” I saw that he had used an overly sarcastic tone, which affected his argument since some readers might find it to be condescending and un-academic. As a result, the more I read...

...honest, I treated the class as so for a while. It wasn’t until after my first essay that I realized how I could improve my writing in preparation for college now instead of later. I didn’t realize that I tend to write in a passive tense every other sentence until now. I also, often, used, too many comma splices, which butchered the flow of my writing. I sometimes missed the MLA format details which lowered my scores early on. After I submitted the last essay, I was glad that I didn’t sign up for English IV. I enjoyed some papers...

...Compare and Contrast Essay 5/12/2014 Ashford University English 121-AXC1415E Instructor: Jamie Cooper Student: Katherin Wheat When it comes to writing the compare and contrast essay style, it is one of the more difficult ones to achieve. The differences between these two essays “How to say nothing in 500 words” by: Paul McHenry Roberts and “caged bird” by: Maya Angelou is easy to pick out. As far as the similarities goes that proved to a little harder to give a lot of examples. In the following paragraphs there will be plenty of examples of compare and contrast, give summaries, a couple of quotes and a paraphrase will be included in this essay. While how to say nothing in 500 words and Caged Bird are both well-written essays, caged Bird was more visual than How to say nothing in 500 words because the author painted a more detailed picture which kept the reader’s attention, the attended audience was more overly open to more people than that of how to say nothing in 500 words essay, and the author of caged bird had a bigger and deeper impact on the readers then the author of how to say nothing in 500 words did. Caged Bird was more visual than How to say nothing in 500 words because the author painted a more detailed picture which kept the reader’s attention. Maya Angelou’s descriptive essay “Caged bird” tells a story of a caged bird and a free bird. The caged bird signifies a person with the skin color darker than that of a peach colored crayon, held down by the paralyzing...

...Analytic essay of ”Shakespeare – writing essays about…” As times get more modern, it is not a secret that Shakespeare’s written work is getting less read. The language today has gotten so modern and slangy, that people no longer care for lengthy sentences or strenuous words, as we see in his work. We are even beginning to make up our own words like “obvs” or “OMG”, which doesn’t necessarily originate from too lengthy words nor sentences. Are we generally just getting lazier? Or are we still building a language, which still customizes to an entirely new generation? No matter what the reason is, then the act of making up words is not unheard of. Shakespeare himself invented no less than 1700 of our common words by just connecting words who was never before used together, devising words wholly original and changing nouns into verbs and vice versa. The essay “Shakespeare – writing essays about…” is written by Dr. Robert Beddow for a website called The Education Wizard. Dr. Beddow studied English and History of Art at Gonville and Caius College and later became a lecturer at Cambridge University. Dr. Beddow starts off his essay by being a bit amicable and anecdotal, which gives us a feeling that we know him personally. His use of slang and ironic language also makes his essay suitable for the young audience, which is also intended as the receiver. Another sign of this is the media he has chosen to advocate on. It is by no means a coincidence that the new generation Z, which is...
