...Running head: MODULE 2 – WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT 2 Module 2 – Written Assignment 2 Thomas Edison State College Module 2 – Written Assignment 2 This paper describes why search engines and databases produce different types of queried results. Two (2) separate search tools were used and this paper attempts to explain why there are differences in search results obtained from each search tool and evaluate the quality of their search results. Module 2 – Written Assignment 2 Searching for information via the Internet will always produce invariable results. This notion can be exaggerated depending upon the tools one uses to query for information. That is not to say that the Internet cannot be used as a valuable research tool. On the contrary, studies have been conducted to support the use of Internet-based research in many fields, including the medical field (Ahern, 2005). While the Internet search engine can be a powerful tool for research, it should be noted that not all search engine tools are created equal. Different Internet search engines will in fact return different results. Therefore, great care must be taken to ensure that the appropriate search engine is chosen for the job. Some of the different types of search engines include: Crawlers, Directories, Meta, Hybrid and Specialty. Search query options enable users to refine their searches in an attempt to find more relevant information. These particular options vary according to the search engine...

...“Rules are what the artist breaks; the memorable never emerged from a formula”– Bill Bernbach. This ideal was strongly recognized and applied to by world-renowned photographer Oliver Toscani as he launched an exceptionally controversial advertisement titled “The Three Hearts” under the clothing company United Colors of Benetton. It is important to note that this contentious ad is not one of arbitrariness, but a calculated marketing tactic employed by United Colors of Benetton defined as “shock advertising.” Most of Benetton’s advertisements have been known to cause great controversy and disgust, especially because their advertisements did not directly relate to any of the merchandise they sell. However, by deviating from generic marketing strategies such as hiring clothes models or relying on the aesthetic appeal of their stores, United Colors of Benetton pursues a superior motive of promoting tolerance in society and creating an active democracy without ideological borders. Additionally, their brand does not communicate with the consumer, but with an individual. This cannot target an age group but rather a shared vision of issues that need to be addressed. Therefore, they attract their market through the use of pathos to emotionally appeal to consumers, which creates a collective awareness for social issues such as capital punishment, AIDS, and race relations. The social issue of racism is addressed in the advertisement that will be analyzed in the following critical response...

Managers choose courses of action not only fro themselves but for their organization and other people. While people choose a job, it is not only for himself, but also for his family and friends.

For effective communication, a speaker needs to use words that have clear meanings and avoid words difficult to understand or offensive to an audience. Saylor Foundation(n.d. p57) raised six examples where a language becomes an obstacle in communication: Cliche, Slang, Jargon, Sexiest and racist language, Euphemism and Doublespeak. Cliche is a stereotyped expression that has lost originality and impact by long overuse (Dictionary.com, n.d.). We should avoid using...

...1 www.oldwitchcraft.com 2 www.oldwitchcraft.com 3 INTRODUCTION The science of numerology can be traced back thousands of years. The Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Hebrews, Egyptians, Phoenicians, early Christians, Mayans, and Incas all used some form of numerology to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the universe. Numerology is perhaps the easiest of the occult arts to understand and use. All you need is the birth date and the complete name of an individual to unlock all of the secrets that the numbers hold. (Most authorities agree that the full birth name as recorded on your birth certificate is the name that must be used for all calculations involving name.) There are eleven numbers used in constructing Numerology charts. These numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 22. Larger numbers that occur from adding the numbers in the complete birth date or from the values assigned to each name are reduced by adding the digits together until the sum achieved is one of the core numbers. Merely add the components of the larger number together (repeatedly, if necessary) until a single digit (or the "master" numbers 11 or 22) results. Each of these numbers represents different characteristics and expressions. Master numbers are the only exception to rule of reducing to the single digit. The master numbers 11 and 22 are intensified versions of the single digit number they replace (2 and 4). These numbers suggest a potential for a high degree of learning and/or achievement...

...“Medinal”, which has become household names. Unit 2 Written Assignment 3 Veronal first use on patients was in 1904 by Hermann von Husen, a young asylum psychiatrist. Vernol was the drug of choice in private asylums while public asylums used cheaper standbys such as bromium and chloral. Experts aren’t sure of the ideology that causes panic attacks and panic disorders. The body has a natural response when you’re in danger or stressed. Your heat speeds up, you breathe faster, and have a burst of energy, which is called flight or fight response. This response gets you ready to either run away or cope with danger, however a panic attack occurs when this response happens when there is no danger. The disorder or attacks may be caused by an imbalance of chemicals or a family history of panic disorder, but have a higher chance to get the disorder if you have a parent with depression or bipolar disorder. Panic attacks can be brought on by the following: • Living with high levels of stress for a long time • Alcohol abuse • A health problem such as an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), heart, or breathing problems • Using illegal drugs such as marijuana or cocaine • Taking certain medicines, such as those used to treat asthma and heart problems • Depression or another mood disorder • Using too much nicotine or too much caffeine Unit 2 Written Assignment ...

...this it is in the standard written form of the language.There are eight main features of academic writing that are often discussed. Academic writing is to some extent: complex, formal, objective, explicit, hedged, and responsible. It uses language precisely and accurately. Complexity Written language is relatively more complex than spoken language. Written language has longer words, it is lexically denser and it has a more varied vocabulary. It uses more noun-based phrases than verb-based phrases. Written texts are shorter and the language has more grammatical complexity, including more subordinate clauses and more passives. Written language is relatively more complex than spoken languageWritten texts are lexically dense compared to spoken language Written language is grammatically more complex than spoken language. Formality Academic writing is relatively formal. In general this means that in an essay you should avoid colloquial words and expressions. In general this means in an essay that you should avoid: a. colloquial words and expressions; ""stuff", "a lot of", "thing", "sort of", b. abbreviated forms: "can't", "doesn't", "shouldn't" c. two word verbs: "put off", "bring up" d. sub-headings, numbering and bullet-points in formal essays - but use them in reports. e. asking questions. Precision In academic writing, facts and figures are given precisely. Do not use "a lot of people" when you can say "50 million people". Objectivity Written language is in general...

... mathematical, scientific, etc. Very broadly speaking, we can also speak of a “formal” and “informal” register in English. In writing academic reports and the like, it would be normal to draw most of the vocabulary and expressions from the formal register, and few, if any, from the informal. This entails avoiding colloquial (everyday) or slang expressions in your writing assignments. The question of register is far more complicated than indicated here; for example, there are many degrees of formality and informality. However, below are listed a few examples which may be of practical assistance.[1] Diffenetions of formal & informal: Formal language, even when spoken, is often associated with the conventions expected of written standard English. Formal English follow rules of grammar very strictly. Sentences tend to be longer and more complex. The vocabulary tends to be elevated, using big words and avoiding colloquial or slang vocabulary. It avoids split infinitives and prepositions at the end of sentences. Formal language uses a Latinate vocabulary and rhetorical devices to create literary-like effects. Informal language is characterized by a simpler grammatical structure (i.e. loosely-connected sentences and phrases), and personal evaluation. Informal language may make use of slang and colloquialisms, employing the conventions of spoken language. However, it is too casual and loose to be...

...why or how others may write. However, regardless of their level of knowledge many young students benefit from having their own personal stories written down to share with other students’. Teachers demonstrate to students how each of their personal experiences and stories are valuable, and they can preserve their stories by writing. This paper will show two important strategies that can support young students’ writers through dictation and translating. Taking Dictation Most parents or adults take dictation when they listen to their children and will write down their child’s oral stories before the child can write on their own. Some of the benefits of dictation are well documented (Temple, 1993; Calkins, 1994; Tunks & Giles, 2007). Taking dictation when children are telling their story is crucial to introducing the student to the intention of writing and the functions of printed language. Through dictation students learn the general purpose of writing, they become aware of the speech to text connection such as; what a person is saying and how to write what is being said. This will permit students to gain basic knowledge of sound symbol relationships, and students can be introduced to conventions of print, including capitalization and punctuation. (Morrow, 2005) stated that student can observe as their words are being written...
