In the article Horizontal world the author applies diction to help further her argument the upper midwest is better than the west. A example of this is where she says, “the region was equally unimpressive. This word choice set the reader into seeing an opposition on her views. This gives the writer the ability to further argument by countering it, which she does in fact do by giving a short story of the history of the upper Midwest. This covert counterargument helps her keep her paper’s disguise as an non argumentative paper while helping her verify her claim to those who doubt her…

In this paper, I will argue that compatibilism is the only viable position in the debate concerning free will and determinism. In doing so, I will present, explain, and critically evaluate compatibilism. I will then consider, but ultimately reject, the following two objections against compatibilism: the hard determinists’ beliefs that we have no free will due to causal determinism and the libertarians’ belief that we are not causally determined. Compatibilism is the belief that causal determinism and free will are both true. Causal determinism is the idea that “all events are caused,” and events only happen if particular causes of those events occur (Kessler 470).…
I believe one of the greatest obstacles in the communication process comes from the diverse communication methods used between the different generations and could possibly cause chaos in the workplace. Generation X and Millennial officer’s communication are very different from each other. Few and far between their values and beliefs are inconsistent and incompatible with each other as well.

Both of them are coming from different eras such as Generation X was born between 1965, Generation Y was born in 1980, and the Millennials were born between 1981 and 1994.…
A consideration of diversity in policy-making should shift the current discourse of culture away from a deficit, behavioural change approach to a rights-based, structural determinant approach. Attention to diversity, thus, may support policy-makers in changing broader social processes and beliefs that presently constrain healthy public policy and maintain ethnic health inequities. There are two theories as to why Māori suffer from health inequalities; one being that Māori have inferior capabilities and the other being that Māori experience greater barriers than others to health. The first reflects a deficit approach, that is those with poorer health are somehow blameworthy for existing health disparities and the second reflects a social determinant…

DIVERSITY STATEMENT I would like to express my position and experiences towards the commitment to diversity and strong interpersonal skills. I interact with people of different gender, race and background on a daily basis.

The interactions have allowed me appreciate their emotions and reaction to different situations. My involvement in developing academic partnerships and exchange programs provided me insights on the cultural and communication barriers, learning aptitudes, and collaborative educational models.…
In today’s world, we have become an increasingly global people. Thanks to things such as the internet, we can now connect with people across the world. According to Forbes, “Socially we have become more open and tolerant towards each other” (Collins). We have become more open and accepting of others.

The old saying, “Now, when I was a kid” is used frequently from each generation, no matter the age difference. From one generation, to the next, many things change.
