...In the song, “What’s Going On” by Marvin Gaye, the conflict of modern diseases and religion are harmful because the diseases are killing countless innocent children and people as well as having them pray for a cure until they die. A quote from the song states, “All the kids with dreams/Won’t get the chance to chase it”, (Gaye, 88-89). This shows that modern disease is killing children and they won’t achieve what they dream of achieving in life. It matters because it shows the infected children will not be able to live life and chase what they want in life. Also, it can relate to our universal theme because it shows conflicts being harmful by ruining the chance of the next generation achieving their dreams. The conflict of modern disease killing...

Children's Counselor Since mankind is created in the image of God, as a school's guidance counselor, I can not abuse my authority.”But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea(kjv).” When you are created in the image of god, you are able to speak to others in a professional manner.

..."What's in a name? Misidentifying the Debtor under Revised Article 9. This article addresses the harsh penalties imposed on a creditor for incorrectly naming a debtor entity on a financing statement. As you might expect, misidentifying a debtor on a financing statement can mean the difference between having a secured claim and an unsecured claim. However, what you might not expect is the degree of error necessary to render a financing statement “seriously misleading” under revised Uniform Commercial Code §9-506, thereby rendering it ineffective. The new legal standard, coupled with strict search logic standards being adopted by filing offices are making it much easier to challenge the perfection of a security interest on the basis of minor errors in the debtor’s name. So… "What's in a name? Well, when trying to perfect a security interest under Revised Article 9, “that which we call a rose by any other name definitely does not smell as sweet." INTRO: [PMSI] In today’s economy, selling unsecured on open account may carry significant risk for vendors. However, taking a security interest in the merchandise sold may reduce or eliminate such risk. This type of security interest, called a purchase money security interest or "PMSI", is the most common and important secured transaction under article 9. To obtain a valid PMSI, the debtor must first execute a security agreement giving the vendor a security interest in described merchandise. Then, the vendor perfects...

...What’s In A Name? Yan Martel’s award winning novel, “Life of Pi”, is about the life of Piscine Molitor Patel, narrating many of the experiences he encounters that give light to many philosophies and ideologies about life. The protagonist in the story, Piscine Molitor, was named after a Parisian swimming pool, which was described in the story as a breathtaking area to take a good swim. However, Piscine having been fed up with the negative attention his name attracted in school, comes up with a new nickname for himself: Pi. Like many other concepts that Martel uses within the plot as a tool for readers to gain a better understanding on things, the two aforementioned meanings of his name is one of which the utilized. The two names of the protagonist in the story of “Life of Pi” is one of the many tools which Yan Martel uses to embody much more meaning than what meets the eye. The narration of how he acquired the name “Piscine Molitor” is told early on in the novel within the third chapter. This close association to a body of water foreshadows the entire second chapter where he spends in the Pacific Ocean, a much bigger body of water, as a cast-away for 227 days. Moreover, the controlled and confined features of a pool imply the concept of boundaries, (a concept which the author constantly used/ made to appear in the novel), like the boundary that Pi made between him and Richard Parker was an essential tool that kept them both alive and the boundary between fact and...

...Case: What’s in names? According to sociologists and name researchers parents are spending more time and money to find perfect names for their new born babies (Alter par. 1). They use different methods such as pulling ideas from book and websites, hiring professional baby-name consultant, and even check Social Security data (Alter par. 1). Maryanna Korwitt is a nameologist who spent years of studying ancient culture and past traditions as well as research with present-day people (About Maryanna). She started her own name business that helps people to choose right names not only for children but also for new companies and websites (Ferrell 235). She identified her target market as middle and upper class people. She writes books, makes television appearances, and provide consultations (Ferrell 235). Today, many books about baby naming are being published, and hundreds of websites are providing similar services, which all of these make her business more competitive (Alter par.3). Maryanna Korwitt took advantage of a recent trend to give babies unusual names (Ferrell 235). She studies names and how they could affect people’s lives. She believes that a child’s personality is determined by the name it is given, and therefore making the right choice is very important. While there has been an increased demand for help in choosing a child’s name, largely driven by the Hollywood penchant to choose odd names, in Korwitt’s case her business was not customer driven. She started her business...

...years old intern at Goldman Sachs, San Francisco office committed suicide for not being able to bear the stress May 2016: Vineet Whig, a 47 years old COO of Britannica Encyclopaedia, committed suicide for not being able to handle pressure. He was depressed. Knowing of his death, the father suffered an attack. Very painful it is to know about these events. I clearly remember the August 2013’s event as I was a part of the team working for Credit Suisse and we bunch of 6 guys were working crazy averaging 18 to 19 hours a day. Post this event we were shell shocked to realise that yes such a lifestyle is not sustainable. I see people with such high ambitions that are unimaginable in my wildest of the dreams. I fail to understand, what’s the hurry? What’s the race all about? Why is everyone trying to run faster than the other? At the end of the day if you can’t sleep peacefully then what would be the use of the success one would have achieved. Someone wants the best B school, someone wants to work really hard to earn pots and pots of money, someone wants to be beat the tycoons. Well for me, three meals a day, a peaceful night’s sleep and time spent with my family is what I feel is heavenly. Guys, cool down, stop running, enjoy life, earn a decent amount of money and that’s it. Life is sorted. In the end I would conclude by saying let not the humanity lose in the very pursuit of its...

...What’s Going On? From the moment I heard the song, What’s Going On by Marvin Gaye, it became one of my favorite lyrically appeasing songs. Written by Renaldo Benson, Al Cleveland and Gaye himself, this song reflects on certain incidents of police brutality and war horror stories. Some of the song refers to an police brutality incident witnessed by Renaldo “Obie” Benson in the People’s Park during a protest held by anti-war activists in what was later called “Bloody Thursday”. Some of Marvin Gaye’s personal experiences were also reflected in this song; he had just lost his beloved duet partner Tammi Terrell to a three year battle with a brain tumor, and his brother, Frankie, had just returned from the Vietnam War with stories “that moved Gaye to tears”. Marvin Gaye sought a channel in which he could express his sorrow and frustration with society, which is how this song came about. This song was produced in the 70s and in Motown, which means that the song definitely had a jazz and gospel tone. The blending between the music of the time period and the issues of the time period caused the song to become a great hit. It topped the Hot Soul Singles chart for 5 weeks and became number two on the Billboard Top 100 chart. The song sold over 2 million copies causing it to become Marvin Gaye’s second most successful Motown song. The song focused on major seventh and minor seventh chords, and was developed using sounds of jazz, gospel and classical music orchestration. It was mainly viewed...

...Kyle Bain March 10, 2015 What’s Cohesion? ENG-550: Graduate Studies in English Language Professor Makhanlall What’s Cohesion? Paul Auster has a rather unique form of writing. Compared to other writers, Auster uses different techniques to draw his readers in. Auster’s use of cohesion, rhythm, and voice play unique roles in Auster’s City of Glass and Ghosts. Auster tends to do things in a very subtle and precise way, he never leads his reader astray and always leaves them wanting more. What interests me the most about Paul Auster’s writing is his use of cohesion (or lack there of). According to Martha Kolln and Loretta Gray in “Rhetorical Grammar:” “The first sentence in a paragraph, like the first paragraph of a chapter or an essay, sets up expectations in the reader about what is coming. Certainly one of those expectations is that the following sentences will stick to the topic. Another is that the sentence will have new information, not just a repeat of what the reader already knows.” (Kolln/Gray, pg. 87). This differs from what Auster does in City of Glass. Paul Auster draws his readers in by saying a little as possible until it is absolutely necessary; he is very literal with his language and does not give away information until it is essential. Firstly, Auster does not name his chapters, he simply numbers them. The beginning of chapter eight is a prime example of how Auster typically starts his chapters: “The next morning, and for many mornings to follow...

...Dear Marji Satrapi, I just finished reading your graphic novel persepolis and while reading it i was conflicted on alot of matters in the story but non the less I found it inspiring how you went through all that at such a young age. Also how you were able to understand in your own mind what was going on and your imagination was really detailed for a little girl. The images guild you through the book and create a sense of actually being there during that time. The images are also not only just showing me what was going on in that specific scene, but it is revealing several symbols that will help the reader look into the story at a deeper level. When i was finished reading it i was so conflicted on the things that had happened. This book has helped me to see all the life struggles, good times, and adversities that youfaced between the ages of nine to thirteen. The Islamic Revolution had such a daunting effect in the Middle East, especially in the county of Iran where you and you family resided. You had your own spirit about things and you didnt let them take it away from you. While reading your book i could tell your parents really loved you. They wanted you to get the education you deserved and got you out of your hometown. It amezed me how even though you were still in another country you were still dedicated to where you first came from. I was in shock while reading parts of persepolis because of the reactions that were in there. On Page 30 you had a conversation with god...
