...Ave. Cincinnati, OH 45221 Dear Mr. Rowan: Thank you for your interest in staying at the Panama City 100 over your upcoming spring break. The Panama City area has a lot of exciting developments happening right now and in upcoming months. After a few unfortunate experiences at our hotel, a strict policy against accepting reservations from student groups was put into place. Without the normal amenities that a resort hotel might have such as a tiki Hut, DJ or lazy river, we have sought to cater strictly to business professionals and over-night travelers. Due to this strict policy, we are unable to provide your student group with the fifteen double rooms that you have requested. Although our hotel is unable to accommodate college students, it would be a pleasure to keep in contact for any future inquires you may have as a business professional later on. If you are still interested in visiting Panama City Florida, there are many other resorts in the same area as our hotel which I believe would provide you with a wonderful stay. The Palms Resort sits directly on Panama City Beach and includes free parking, WiFi, and a daily complimentary breakfast. There is also a tiki bar which provides refreshments and cocktails next to the ocean-view pool. Regardless of your final destination, I hope that you have an excellent Spring Break. I look forward to hearing from you for any inquiries you may have after graduation. Good luck in the rest of your college career...

...“Barbie, Spring Break” – A Reflective Report Throughout this semester the analytical exploration of discourse, genre and multimodality has enabled us to engage with various academic works, which ultimately enhanced the overall understanding of this course. With this knowledge, we were given the task of creating our own radio projects, exemplifying through a specific radio genre, a particular discourse. This project was very fulfilling, specifically after the conclusion of our group’s experimental radio piece, “Barbie: Spring Break.” Within this essay, I will aim to reflect and judge the process, as well as the overall finished production of this podcast. It becomes evident that through the analysis of how our piece engages with different discourses, ultimately constructs the way we understand our world in a socially driven frame (Leeuwen, 2005, p. 94). Through this the audience will hopefully gain a greater understanding of the importance of radio in our world. Further, the piece makes use of different genres, as well as appropriating our chosen platform to a specific audience. This script dealt with one main discourse, Barbie, and how she ultimately is a contradiction of what girls want, compared to what they should be. However, our podcast aims to satirize this meaning through humor, as well as experimenting with talk back radio to enhance the overall significance of this podcast. Discourse: “Barbie: Spring Break” dealt with the discourse of Barbie, the doll, epitomizing...

...social media, does it really matter who owns the `mainstream’ media? “It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.” (Clemens, 1897) Foreword According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights written up by the United Nations, its states that, “Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people” (UN, 1948). Articles 19 to 21 specifically target the freedom of thought, conscience and belief of human rights that a Democratic government must abide by and Egypt is no exception. Arab Spring Turmoil has been brewing in Egypt, causing great pain to its inhabitants, destroying homes and families and creating complete mayhem in the process. The first marked incident according to The Guardian is on the 1st of January 2011; a suicide bombing attempt took place outside a Coptic Church in Alexandria. By the 25th of January Egypt finally joined the Arab Spring alongside Tunisia, Yemen and Algeria. The ‘Arab Spring’ was an activist movement by several Middle-Eastern countries in an attempt at freedom from political and religious oppression and authoritarian governments. A major role in political...

...foreign countries. He formed a basis of government and the basis of the constitution to be formed for the future country. Within each part of his speech he goes over many important points that could potentially occur within the forming country. In one of his points he tries to explain the dangers of having parties within the nation. The separation of the nation could only break the union apart. He says, “The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual;” George uses this quote to show the evil that come out of a man when given parties that separate. The separation of parties make men feel that they are stronger than others rather than finding each other as equals. The separation could weaken the government rather than strengthen it....

...Primatology is the study of primates which enables modern day humans to study and understand different primates and their adaption behaviourally and anatomically to the environment (Ember et al. 2011:86). Primatology also allows modern humans to study the behavioural and anatomical features that are distinctly human (Haviland et al. 2012:53). Homo sapiens share more than 98% of their DNA with chimpanzees and slightly less with great apes, although there is such a huge DNA shared we are not the same but there are similarities between the two. The following essay is aimed at discussing the similarities, differences and behavioural differences that are present between Homo sapiens and the present day primates. Primates are very diverse group of animals and possess features which are common within the group (Haviland et al. 2012:53). One of the common characteristics among all primates is the ability to grasp objects due to their opposable thumbs that modern primates have developed in the past year which allows more precise and powerful grip (Ember et al. 2011:88-89). Primates have well developed vision because a large portion of their brains is devoted to vision than smell, which allows than to see things better than humans and all primates give birth to live and developed young which in turn have a longer dependency period on their parents in comparison to other animals (Ember et al. 2011:89). Life expectancy of primates is very high and primates have larger brains compared to...

...Word Wars Over the past decade technology has enabled people to express and showcase the right to freedom of speech in ways that they never could before. Technology promotes freedom of speech but also facilitates hate speech, thus bringing countries into an ongoing brawl. Through text messages, Facebook live, photographs and even videos, the age of the internet has exploded into a time of instant knowledge and access to anything a person has to say, and freely doing so in that matter. In countries where this right is oppressed and real weapons are no use, violent words and actions through the internet has been the result that many have gone to in expressing these undermined struggles (245). Julius Malema, a former South African leader chanted words from an old anti-apartheid anthem that enraged Afrikaners and set off a cultural epidemic on the internet. The words “Dubuiu iBunu” meaning “shoot the Boer” instantly affected not only white farmers, but their counterparts across the world as well. In the coming years, many were killed along with their wives and children due to pure internet violence that was rationed into cruel misunderstandings. This saying was used in comparison to Irish Republican...

Each of these kids has a face, has a dream, is someone’s pride and joy, But all have cancer. Some of these kids are fighting to survive, some are in remission, and some have fought hard, but have left this world. Are you aware that more than thirteen thousand children 18 and under are diagnosed with cancer a year? That’s more than a classroom of kids a day. According to the National Cancer Institute, Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children and teenagers in the United States. Children are phenomenal people and deserve to grow up and live their dreams, but childhood cancer never takes a break. It’s not right, it’s not fair, and it’s defiantly not rare. I will discuss throughout this speech how many children are diagnosed yearly, the survival rate and the side effects of treatments. II. Body A.

...Alberta. Michael King Sr. came from a sharecropper family in a poor farming community. He married Alberta in 1926 after an eight-year courtship. The newlyweds moved to A.D. Williams home in Atlanta. In 1948, Martin Luther King Jr. earned a sociology degree from Morehouse College and attended the liberal Crozer Theological Seminary in Chester, Pennsylvania. He thrived in all his studies, and was valedictorian of his class in 1951, and elected student body president. He also earned a fellowship for graduate study. But Martin also rebelled against his father’s more conservative influence by drinking beer and playing pool while at college. He became involved with a white woman and went through a difficult time before he could break off the affair. In the spring of 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. organized a demonstration in downtown Birmingham, Alabama. Entire families attended. City police turned dogs and fire hoses on demonstrators. Martin Luther King was jailed along with large numbers of his supporters, but the event drew nationwide attention. However, King was personally criticized by black and white clergy alike for taking risks and endangering the children who attended the demonstration. From the jail in Birmingham, King eloquently spelled out his theory of non-violence: "Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community, which has...

...The 1960s were a period when long-held values and norms of behavior seemed to break down, particularly among the young. Many college-age men and women became political activists and were the driving force behind the civil rights and antiwar movements. Other young people simply “dropped out” and separated themselves from mainstream culture through their appearance and lifestyle. Attitudes toward sexuality appeared to loosen, and women began to openly protest the traditional roles of housewife and mother that society had assigned to them. Left-wing politics in the 1960s attracted primarily middle-class college students The Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) founded at the University of Michigan in 1960, was the organizational base for the New Left. Leaders of the SDS believed that colleges were a natural base from which to promote social change Before opposition to the Vietnam War exploded, issues that touched on student freedom, such as dress codes, course requirements, discrimination by sororities and fraternities, and minority admissions, were hot topics on campus When the administration tried to control political activity at the University of California at Berkeley in the fall of 1964, the Free Speech Movement was formed The tactics the Berkeley students used at the time — sit-ins and taking over college buildings — became common forms of antiwar protest In the spring of 1965, SDS supported a nationwide campaign against the draft On campuses, demonstrations...
