“Isms” are created through stereotyping that often bring a certain hatred for a particular part of society, many well known “Isms” often come to mind when imagining certain types of discrimination. Often neglected types of discrimination that people do not process until they truly think about it; for example, one in which is lookism; moreover, lookism is “Prejudice or discrimination based on physical appearance and especially the physical appearance believed to fall short of societal notions of beauty” (Merriam-Webster). Having discrimination in the way someone appears physically is mind-boggling in that everyone is created differently and no one is made a perfect person, as everyone has his or her own individual flaws, so discriminating…
In the U.S. society, it seems that our school systems are taking a negative turn; the road that will pave the way for your educational future is based mainly on how much money you can spend on the best schools in order to get the best education. The U.S. Society has set up the educational system so that people of higher class, people who have the most money, will have an easier advance to success, while lower class citizens, people with not as much money are more likely to fall behind because there are not as many educational opportunities for them. There are a large number of expensive private schools that may offer a better education that a wealthy person would be able to afford with ease, but someone of middle, or even a low class family would have great difficulty sending their child to these schools without a scholarship that there are so few of anyway. Schools do not tend to give out many scholarships, they may give out 1 for every 100 students so for people who are not fortunate enough to receive a scholarship, they are limited to attending public schools where they may not receive all the attention and help that they need.…

These words are supposed to make the reader feel as if texting was some sort of alien infestation but because he used the words he used they brought many opinions into…

Along with her argument that texting is leading people to lose valuable social skills and to become more emotionally detached from each other. Turkle utilizes large amounts of pathos to portray the damaging effects texting has on different people. Elaine is one of the teenagers that Turkle interviews, about the effects texting has on people.…
How someone identifies is a complicated matter to dissect. There are an innumerable amount of factors that play into identity, both internally and externally to an individual. The fact that culture is an integral part only adds more complexity, as many cultures are becoming increasingly integrated and globalized with other unique groups. Generally speaking, identity is usually determined, often simultaneously, on three different levels: the national level, in one’s community, and at the personal level of self.…
Also, the action model is used in this movie. For instance, when he is on the phone with his wife and the HMMVW gets shot at and hits the rocks, he leaves the phone on the ground and his wife ends up hearing all the gun shots and the hollering from the men around the phone. This is part of the action model because both the source and the receiver send and receive messages at the same time (Interpersonal Communications). During the action model there is also noise that interferes with the path of communication and this would be the hollering and guns shots that I mentioned above (Interpersonal…
Artifice In the excerpt “Empire of Illusion” by Chris Hedges argues that “ the most essential skill … is artifice.” After reading the passage, I agree with Chris Hedges because in Political Theater and Consumer culture that is the most popular skill.

I used that as an excuse and I told myself that I didn’t need to work out because I have a good Body Mass Index.…
Proponents of federal funding being used for forms of social welfare—and other solely finically aiding programs—to help improvised communities often juxtapose poignant language when describing the people benefiting from SNAP and similar programs, with abrasive language when describing any opposition to social welfare to create a sense of pathos that calls upon readers to endorse a future with these programs out of empathy to the people they help. To first bolster the idea that a future without social welfare programs is a harsh, uncaring world that lacks empathy, authors like Jana Kasperkevic in “Welfare Programs Shown to Reduce Poverty in America” describe the tactics of those who would cut funding as “slash-and-burn,” with ideologies that…

To a certain extent, Aristotle is similar in his philosophy to Mill, Aquinas, and Kant, but now completely. He also believes in a universal good in order to achieve happiness in life.

Contrary to Mill, Aquinas, and Kant, that understand moral obligation in terms of human individual actions, instead of examining a whole lifetime. According to Aristotle “good” can be found in many forms.…

her sister, Julia, exclaimed, “ Pema, why are you still up there? I thought you were in the bathroom.” “Thanks mom and Julia,” Pema replied, looking at each person respectively. She then picked up her phone unplugging it from the charger she had so carefully mazed though the frame of her bed to reach right next to her head. Then she throwing the soft, down, blanket off of her and swinging her legs over the edge of the bed, she realized that her phone had been buzzing, vibrating and lighting up for a while now, to let her know of the notifications awaiting her.…
