...Thoreau strongly argues how the goverment is preventing positive change and how a new goverment with better regulations should be created. The strong use of diction emphasises his point along with his scholarly and persuasive tone. Thoreau utilizes a strong diction implementing advanced vocabulary to emphasize his arguement more strongly. Thoreau applies vocabulary such as "expedient","worthy", and "fain" to describe the goverment and the men who are part of the goverment. This creates a more formal tone. Utilizing a strong diction it supports his arguement since he is addressing the government it provides a more stronger arguement because it provides us with how highly educated he is. Futhermore,his tone is scholarly and persuasive which...

...Since the 1970's, almost all capital sentences in the United States have been imposed for homicide. There has been intense debate among Americans regarding the constitutionality of capital punishment. Critics charge that executions are violations of the “cruel and unusual punishment” provision of the Eighth Amendment; while supporters of the death penalty counter that this clause was not intended to prohibit legal executions. In the 1972 court case of Furman vs. Georgia , the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that capital punishment was no longer legal. However, in Gregg v. Georgia (1976), the court allowed capital punishments to resume in certain states, and shortly thereafter, Gary Gilmore was executed by a firing squad in Utah. Since the reinstatement of capital punishment in the United States,a separate penalty trial has been required for some capital cases, at which time the jury reviews circumstances that suggest the need for capital punishment. In 1982, Texas became the first state to execute a prisoner using lethal injection; other common methods of execution used in the United States include lethal gas and electrocution. In recent years, the Supreme Court has made it more difficult for death row prisoners to file appeals. Nearly 3 of 4 americans support the death sentence as a form of punishment. The other third has condemned it and their list of claims against it is long. Opponents challenge proponents on issues of deterrence, economics, fallibility, and rehabilitation. Their...

...Free from Error Abstract The type of Moral Error theory I shall defend in the following essay is the kind proposed by J. L. Mackie and later by Richard Joyce. Mackie first advances “error theory” by stating that when most people speak of their moral judgements they are implicitly claiming “ to be pointing to something objectively prescriptive,” but “these claims are false” (1977, p.35). In the first section of this essay i shall introduce and clarify the constituent of error theory I aim to defend. In the next section I consider and rebut stephen finlays recent attack on moral error theory. Finlay takes aim at Mackies conceptual claim that many moral judgements entail categorical reasons, but I find his shots misguided. Consequently I shall consider finlays most powerful rejoinders with the view of again refuting them and arriving at the conclusion that Mackies conceptual and ontological claims hold and moral error theory stands. Mackie endorses a second order moral theory regarding the essence of moral valuing and the character of moral values. Mackie believes that many of the moral judgements we make contain a catergorical imperative element and his thesis that “ there are no objective values” (1977, pg 58) is an explicit rebuttal denying that “ any such categorically imperative element is objectively valid” (1977, pg 69).[1] The objective values that Mackie wishes to refute would be action-guiding unconditionally, not contingently upon any particular agents desired...

...Judicial Politics And Behavior YourFirstName YourLastName University title Q.1 Firing or sacking is an informal word for dismissal which is termination of employment by employer against the employees will. Firing is a common term particularly in US and it is also known as as sacked, boned, axed, canned or given walking papers. Being fired as oppesed to qutting the job voluntarily (being laid off), is perceived being the employee’s fault thus considered a sign of failure and disgraceful. Since finding a new or another job is is difficult after firing and especially if the employee had not held the job or the position for a long period (Hugh, 2005). Mostly probationary employees are dismissed when an employer finds better equiped, skilled and experienced employees than the incumbent even though the employee has ot broken either of the rules. Many times firing is viewed as employees are very negative and m ostly with gross misconduct which is a serious action. Firing is done on basis of poor work performance, off job- site conduct, attendance problem and problematic conduct. Attendance problems are employees not turning up for work, tardiness or frequent absenteeism. Work performance problems leads to termination even when one has good attendance at a job. If the employees perfoormance does not satisfy the employers standards, the employee is finally fired. It can be on the basis of incompetence, neglect of maintenance, refusal to perform duties, negligence or...

...Does electroshock therapy have a place in today’s therapy practices? The article written by two men by the names of Jan-Otto Ottosson and Max Fink entitled “Electroconvulsion Therapy (ECT) “, is a very informative writing about the use of electroshock therapy and how it used today. According to these two men the practice of a mild electric current to the brain produces an epileptic-like seizure as a means of treating certain psychological disorders. Electroconvulsive therapy, also known as ECT and electroshock therapy, was established in the 1930s , at this time various observations led physicians to conclude that epileptic seizures are capable to prevent or relieve the symptoms of schizophrenia. Experiments were conducted with insulin and other seizure-inducing drugs, and Italian physicians learned that the use of an electric current can create seizures in schizophrenic patients. ECT was used frequently to treat schizophrenia, depression, and, in some cases, mania. It eventually became a source of arguement due to misuse and many negative side effects. ECT was misused and was often prescribed for treating disorders that had no real effect, such as alcohol dependence. Patients generally experienced confusion and loss of memory after treatments, and those whose condition improved eventually relapsed. Other side effects include speech defects, physical injury from the force of the convulsions, and cardiac arrest. According to the aunthors the use of electroconvulsive therapy...

...Issue description: “The social organisation of health care, concerns the way a particular society organises. funds, and utilises its health services. A central focus on the dominant role of the medical profession, which has significantly shaped health policy and health funding to benefit its own interests” (Germov 2009, pg 18-19 para 5) Doctors who support the medical profession for private health insurance benefit by maximising their profits with the “No Gap” incentive that private health insurance offers to their clients, Doctors are being encouraged to charge more then the scheduled fee however based on the marxism theory only those who can afford private health insurance benefit from such services. Low income workers are limited to health care options due to the rise in household bills, making private health insurance difficult to afford. In private health doctors are able to charge their patients their own fee for services/medical consultations etc. Medicare will pay 75% which is known as the “schedule fee” , private health insurance will cover the 25% gap. However the AMA actually encourage doctors to charge more then schedule fee, allowing the doctors to make profit by those who can afford to pay for these consultations. Until recently private health insurance companies were restricted by law to cover the “gap” fee making the patient having to pay the 25% out of pocket. Now every health fund must offer at least one “no gap” or “known gap” policy. Gap cover is only...

...Rana Yiğitbaşı Mr. Christensen L3C – IB Film 27 October 2010 The Legend Hababam Sınıfı Name a movie that is watched and known and adored by the all of the citizens in its country. Name a movie that has music so good that makes your heart beat faster. Name a movie whose audience reactions are the same even after being watched for thirty years. There can only be one answer: “Hababam Sınıfı”. It was firstly an idea, then a collection of short stories, then a book, then a script, then a play and then a series of movie. It never lost its freshness nor its humor after all these years. But why Hababam Sınıfı, and not other books or movies? Why did it become a well-known movie which has never been forgotten? Was it the actors whom the audiences loved to watch or the idea of it? Or was it just the events that took place in the story? For this project I searched about the book of poetry Sınıf, the author Rıfat Ilgaz’s life, how the book Hababam Sınıfı was created, why it was made into plays and movies, and why it has continued to be popular among Turkish audiences.

As a teacher, Rıfat Ilgaz gives voice to his love for children, and his belief in humanity in his two books about school; Sınıf and Hababam Sınıfı.
