...of both good and bad words, swear words. Swear words are proven to be an inevitable part of linguistics yet often looked upon as bad manners especially if they are being uttered by teenagers, who adults refer to as irresponsible when it comes to their everyday use of language (Eckert, 2004, p. 8). However, according to Eckert (2004), this should be seen as nothing more than adolescents’ way of interpreting and maintaining social interactions and norms in a community as our choice of linguistic resources simultaneously signals how we behave, where we are from and who we choose to spend our time with (p. 9). Linguists are frequently faced with the belief that certain speakers, adolescents in particular, have an illogical parlance. However, it can clearly be debated whether or not these judgments have any deeper value as they are commonly based on selective observations and biased judgments of what those observations mean. This essay aims to deal with those beliefs by examining whether or not adolescents are more likely to use swear words in their speech. Material The primary material in this essay is based on information retrieved from the British National Corpus. British National Corpus, often referred to as BNC, is a 100 million-word collection of samples of written and spoken British English, gathered during the later part of the 20th century (The British National Corpus, 1992). The material that is being examined in this essay consists of swear words limited to the spoken...

...Hannah, Adele, Juleah, Trenner, and Blake Opening: Adele How does the Constitution protect our basic rights? The Constitution protects our basic rights in many ways. A couple examples of how the Constitution protects our basic rights are that it gives us freedom of speech, expression, and religion. We also always have the right to due process. These are a few ways the Constitution protects our basic rights. Why did the Founders think freedom of religion was so important? 1a. The Founders thought freedom of religion was important because they didn’t want to violate people’s individual rights. They also did not want conflict among the colonists because of the differences in their beliefs. One major reason the colonists...

...Casey Korea why is it important to follow orders Donald Fletcher bravo company 302d bsb Camp Casey Korea why is it important to follow orders There are many reasons why a soldier should follow all of the orders they are given because every one of them is important in any circumstance. An order is a task given to a soldier that has to be done in a certain period of time in an efficient manner. There are three main reasons of why it’s important for a soldier to follow the orders they are given: To be disciplined, an effective combat, and be a good soldier and love your job. When a soldier doesn’t follow the orders they were given it doesn’t only affect them it affects everyone in the team and the goals they have set for the mission. When soldiers don’t follow the orders, the objectives are hurt and the chances of winning the war. When you’re in the army you need to stop and think if it will harm you or your battle buddies. When a soldier doesn’t follow orders while in combat zone it makes the mission ineffective, if a single soldier in the unit is combat ineffective it lowers the chances of winning, making the leaders deal with a soldier that can’t handle the workload of the unit. For example if Sergeant tells a private to prepare the guns before they go out for the mission the sergeant is telling the private to get the guns ready so they can be fully functional and help out when its needed in the fight. It doesn’t matter if the private doesn’t know why he had to do what he was...

...surrounded by my family members. I was brought up that way, to always be respectful of my parents and elders. When I’m with them I speak respectfully. I don’t cuss around them. That’s extremely disrespectful. I’m 18 now and I still don’t swear In front of my family, even though that I’m older they find it “okay” I’ll always see that as disrespectful. I’d never want my child to swear in front of me or anything of that sort so why would I do it in front of my parents. When I’m 60 years old, I still won’t swear in front of them. I’m not the most intelligent person but I know how to speak my language and speak it well. English is used everywhere. I don’t use huge meaningful, powerful words or sayings. If there were an actual system where people had to be placed based on how they speak. I’d be ranked in the middle. I’d put myself there because I’m not illiterate but I’m also not the best speaker in the world. I’d love to learn how to speak English properly more often. When I’m around friends though I become more of myself which isn’t the smart individual I was brought up to be. I feel comfortable around them so I say whatever comes to mind even if it’s inappropriate because there is no one there to tell me how obnoxious or repulsive I’m being.

...The idea that caught my attention was that the n-word was now a term of endearment, but despite this, it should not be used. The idea was that regardless of race, the n-word was still a swear, and no matter who said it or how they said it, it was still a curse. Daniel, who proposed this idea, said that, “Using the n-word as a term of endearment is the same as when girls lovingly call each other the b-word.” Regardless of the intention, the words are still swears, and shouldn’t be used, since they’re overall rude and...

...Sumaiyah Khan Do we all really need a doctor’s fatal diagnosis for us to ‘live life to the fullest?’ Last week, my sister and I went out for a walk and began to discuss our experiences at school. I loved speaking to her since I could talk to her about just about anything, and knew she wouldn’t tell anybody else about our conversations. This time, I told her about a previous teacher of mine whom I recently found out was diagnosed with cancer. I explained just how amazing of a woman this teacher was, Masha’Allah, and told my sister about all of the things that she had already accomplished. I reminisced about how she always coached us in our extracurricular activities, and how she had also recently memorized the entire Qur’an. My sister simply said: “She’s trying to live her life to the fullest.” And this continued. Every single achievement I mentioned, my sister would repeat that same statement. I then understood that she was basically saying my teacher knew she didn’t have much time left and was therefore trying to achieve as much as she could before her passing. She had accepted the fact that her life could literally end at any time. It made me wonder, why weren’t we, as Muslims, in a similar state of mind all the time? Allah (glorified and exalted be He) warns us in the Qur’an that He can take our lives away at any moment without any prior notice. Is this not enough for all of us to try to please Him all the time? Is this not enough for all of us to try to accomplish all we can as swiftly...

...stereotypical male jobs such as firefighters, policemen, and doctors. Although some would argue that feminism is still a necessary movement, from personal experience I would disagree. Education has allowed feminism to become less relevant because it has given women the opportunity to be successful amongst men in today’s society. My previous school, Redwood High School, is a small-scale example of how feminism has transformed throughout society. Freshman year of high school, I was outside of the basketball gym talking with a friend. As I was waiting for basketball practice to begin, I turned to my friend and said, “We have to wait for girls practice to end… What a joke!” I was unaware of my surroundings and failed to consider the impact my words could have on women. At this point, a senior girl on the varsity basketball team turned to me and began yelling, “Who do you think you are! You think you can just talk about women like that!” I was completely taken off guard, at which point she walked inside the gym to tell the other girls on her team what I had said. Then more girls came outside and began to yell similar things in my direction. I am not calling these women out of line because my...

He was angry. “I didn’t do anything wrong, I swear, Felice found you with that boy, He says you wanted to free him,” I sat up. “No! It’s not true! I swear it! I took him out, but I put him straight back in again I didn’t want to free him. He’s the one who’s lying,” “Keep your voice down, your sister’s asleep,” Maria was lying face down hugging the pillow. I whispered “Don’t you believe me? “He looked at me. His eyes glittered in the dark like a dog’s. “How many times have you seen him? Three. How many? Four, Can he recognise you?” I thought about it. “No, He can’t see. He always keeps his head under the blanket,” “Have you told him your name?” “No,” “Have you spoken to him?” “No…not much,” “What did he say to you?” ”Nothing, He talks about strange things, I can’t make head nor tail of it,” “And what did you say to him?” “Nothing,” Exit B: The grown-ups had gone, the cars were there but they weren’t, the houses empty, the doors open, we all ran from one house to another.

...months in jail. Is that fair? Well for Timothy Boomer unfortunately that was the case. He was canoeing on a lake in Michigan fell out of the canoe and yelled some curse words. Sadly for him it was in front of a woman and her children which is against the law in Michigan. The law he violated was over 100 years old, The law prohibits people to swear in public in front of children and women. This is not fair and Boomer should not be punished because the law is clearly outdated, and it is freedom of speech and expression. The law that Boomer is being accused of is clearly so outdated! This law is over 100 years old. Times have changed since then. This...

MARY MAGDALENE In three days I will build back the Temple. THOMAS Well, the Temple is still standing. How would he build back what is still standing?

...Atlas Shrugged “I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for the sake of mine.” This is the oath one must swear by in order to make it into the exclusive John Galt highly intellectual society. John Galt is a character in the book “Atlas Shrugged” who is the creator and inventor and is a symbol to the power and glory of the human mind. The people who become a part of his society believe that taking care of oneself is more important than being humanitarians and providing support to those who need it. In Galt’s society there are no issues with money. There are no worries about the government taking and spending our hard earned money on war, illegal immigrants, and welfare. If only real life were this simple. However, this is a state of living that is simply not feasible. This never has happened or never will happen in my lifetime. To begin refuting this view of Any Rand, I think it is necessary to analyze the core value that is overwhelmingly displayed in Rand: Selfishness. Rand makes no secret of her selfishness. She thinks the world would be a better place if everyone was selfish. However, she also thinks that any infrastructural and economic progress shouldn’t come out of our taxes, but instead we should rely on the wealthy to make donations in the name of selflessness. That seems very contradictory to what she preaches, as well as very unlikely. Rand supports greed. The greedy won’t have...
