...information, their sources and purposes Verbal communication is one of the best methods when it comes to communicating with another individual or individuals, this is because when you are emailing someone, the point you are trying to get across doesn’t always get their understanding, as they aren’t able to hear the tone of your voice to understand what it is you are meaning by what you are saying. Verbal communication can be done face to face, over the phone, or using devices such as Skype. Interacting face to face is also quicker and helps you get a better understanding of the information that the individual is giving to you, it also gives you the chance to ask any questions to the person who is providing you with this information, and it also helps you get to know other individuals. Verbal communication is something that people do in their everyday lives, and it’s something that people are used to. There for it’s probbaly the best method when it comes to communicating with people and getting information to individuals. An example when we had a good method of verbal communication was when the head teacher of Strode College (James Staniforth) done a presentation to all of the new students within the college on the first day. The main characteristics within the information that was provided, was to give all of the new students the information that they needed to know about the college. This included things such as the rules within the college, what the college provides...

...Why Teens Choose Abortion There are so many sources that could be used to gain knowledge about why teens choose to get abortions, but there are only several reliable sources about that topic. It is very important to rely on credible sources. The use of good sources can lead to information that is credible and accurate. If using non-reliable sources about finding information about a specific topic you could be getting all the information wrong because of the non-credible sources that are being used. Because I used reliable sources I was able to come up with the conclusion that the number one reason why teens choose to get abortion is because when they feel pressured they tend to find an escape to the problem, in this case, abortion. A source is more credible if written by someone with a degree or other credentials in the subject of interest. If no author or organization is named, the source will not be viewed as very credible. An example of a good source about the reasons why teens choose abortion is the article “Why Teens Choose Abortion” by Linda Lowent. This article proves to be a reliable source in so many ways. One way is by giving us a publication date. The publication date is not only important but the fact that is recent, April 15, 2011, makes it a more reliable source. Also, the website where this article was published at is known web page which makes it a credible article. The most important evidence that makes this article a credible one is the author. The name...

...It is a good read to get an idea of how the war began with the major nations and leaders involved. This book should not be used as a primary source because it is not as long and informative as others, but it is a good source to read in the early stages of the research. It is also slightly biased towards the US because it often talks about all the great organizations and pacts they established. It is important to read multiple sources because history is something that can be biased, so reading the work of different historians is important in finding what is true, what is biased, and what is...

...value of 3 different resources and evaluating the 3 sources in terms of validity. The 3 resources that I am going to be talking about are: the internet, a text book, and NHS facts. I found all of these resources useful in different ways, and also reliable in different ways. I chose these particular resources because I have many opinions about them, some good, some bad. The mix of opinions is good because I can discuss both sides, and have a good balance between the opinions. The internet The source that I will be talking about first is the internet. The use of the internet helped me a lot with the assignment, this is because I was easily able to just search up what I needed to and then was able to put it into my own words and add it into my piece of work. I think that it also made my work better because I knew that the websites I was using were reliable and all the information in them was correct. And I think that this made my work good because I knew the information was correct and knew that I didn’t put anything in that was incorrect. Another way that it helped to support my work was that it was quick and easy, it gave me the answers straight away, and I didn’t have to take ages looking for the topic that I needed to know about in a text book. I used bitesize a lot, this is because the information that was on the website was easy to understand and set out in a simple form. The main reason that I think this resource is good is because it is quick and easy to use. Here is some...

...the allegory comes from a conversation between Socrates and Glaucon, Plato’s older brother. Within this discussion, Socrates brings forth the idea that the sun represents the good, and that the sun is God-like. It is further explained that the sun “makes our sight see best and visible things best seen.” (Reeve & Miller 199) Distinguished facts about the sun and the good then come into view, as Socrates states even though sight and the light are thought to be like the sun, they are not quite the same as the sun. Furthermore, the sun “not only gives visible things the power to be seen, but also provides for their coming-to-be, growth, and nourishment… existence and being are also due to it.” (Reeve & Miller 200) Socrates believes that all things come into existence due to the sun/the good, but not only does it make everything visible, it also makes everything grow. With a brief summary of the allegory of the sun in mind, it is easy to suggest that this allegory makes perfect sense, and that in fact the sun/the good is being personified as Helios, giving the interpretation that the sun is God. While the sun represents the good, the good is seen as a source for light and visibility, more so a source for intellect. Furthermore, Socrates holds the sun responsible for giving us sight, and with the good enabling us to see, it enables us to have a capacity for knowledge....

...Lydia Barks UC 175-000 Professor Fulkerson 20 November 2010 Annotated Bibliography Topic and Brief Description How has the concept of “good” parenting changed from 1950-2008? A good parent wants what is best for his or her child no matter what. In the early years, parents taught their children the basics: how to do things, discipline, communication, right from wrong, etc. Through the years these basics are still being taught. One change is that parents are dealing with more epidemics in their children these days. Parents have to learn how to handle and work with the children with special needs. Another change is that back then you saw more mothers doing the parenting but in some cases these days the father steps in and plays the role of the mother. A main concept that has been altered is discipline. In today’s society, some people see spanking as a sign of abuse and think that talking to them and explaining what they did wrong is a better technique. However, this is true at times but if it was the 1950’s, taking a child out back and giving them a good spanking was just what they needed. That is how the concepts of good parenting have changed over the years. Annotated Bibliography Sources One Book Source: Evans, J, & Llfeld, E. (1982). Parenting in the early years: good beginnings. Ypsilanti, MI: High/Scope Educational Research Foundation. This book talks about parenting in the early years and gives information on the development of an infant’s lifestyle and...

...part of marketing; this essay will focus on and attempt to explain what a service encounter is and why it is important for it to be managed, whilst also outlining the factors that influence the behavior of customers before, during and after the encounter. For the purposes of this essay a Service Encounter will be defined as a transactional interaction where a person provides a good or service to another person, often described as the moment of truth, where the service is examined and all pre conceived ideas now become experiences (Bitner et al. 1990). The arguments will be supported with examples in order to demonstrate a higher understanding of the concepts and ideas involved. What is meant by experience and credence properties? The service encounter in a company or organization is an integral part of the organizations successful growth, services can be likened to a package of attributes rendering contentment, yet have more appropriately been described as “promises of satisfaction” (Levitt, 1983). In comparison with goods, it is better known that services have a diverse range of characteristics however both services and goods contain search, experience and credence qualities, all which need to be managed. Service Encounters are high in experience and credence attributes, as a service is much like a performance it is often deemed as an encounter, the transactional interaction where a person provides a good or service to another person (Walker, 1995) which includes the elements...

...HISTORICAL SOURCES Historians most often use written sources, but audio and visual materials as well as artifacts have become important objects that supply information to modern historians. Numerical data are explained in written form or used in support of a written statement. Historians must be aware of the climate of opinion or shared set of values, assumptions, ideas, and emotions that influence the way their sources are constructed and the way they perceive those sources. In addition, an individual's own frame of reference-- the product of one's own individual experiences lived--must be acknowledged by the perceptive historian in order to determine the reliability and credibility of a source in relation to others. Good historical writing includes: a clear argument that has both logical and persuasive elements interpretations that strive to be as objective as possible but openly acknowledging the underlying concerns and assumptions something new rather than simply re-hashing the work of other authors--sometimes asking old questions and finding new answers or asking questions which never have been asked a response to debates in the field of history, either by challenging or reinforcing the interpretations of other historians evidenced in the footnotes and biography Historical sources are typically divided into two categories: primary and secondary sources. Depending on the historian's intent, some sources change their designation. Determining what sort of sources to use...

...RESEARCH PLAN What is evil and why it involve human My hypothesis is we are free moral agents. God could have made us as robots, but He didn’t. We have a choice in the matter. Most choice to do evil act because the devil control the world. Some evil or evil act get people who are: 1. Realization that life isn't fair. It can be an attempt to create a balance or a fair world where everybody faces what one has faced. 2. Bad experiences in past. 3. Need to drive pleasure from seeing others suffer the way one has suffered themselves. 4. Mental disorder/imbalance resulting from various life experiences While I went to some source some from religious belief and some from non-religious belief. The religious source said Humans have wrestled with questions of good and evil since time immemorial without reaching any universally satisfactory conclusion. For Christians, all goodness flows from God's inherent character, and evil is refusing to submit to His authority and love and serve Him. The problem of evil's existence is a stickier issue, causing much debate among Christian scholars, theologians and philosophers. But Christian beliefs define the source of determining what is good and what is evil, describe human nature and provide Christians with tools for combating evil with good. Non-religious believe that most "evil" people became that way due to outside influences. My source are credible because the author of the religious...
