I completely agree with you Cathryn that there should be rules in place for not only players, coaches, and officials but also people in the stands.

I feel as though the fans she get fines and coaches should be terminated because no player should have to go through training being emotional abuse like that. Everyone should be held accountable for their actions.

    The idea of persuading and how to properly be persuasive can differ from person to person but the ancient Greek ideas of ethos, logos, and pathos(or ethical, logical, and emotional), always are incorporated into being persuasive in any situation. Sophocles’ story of Antigone, daughter and sister of Oedipus, shows Antigone as a rebellious character who believes her religion and morals over her government’s demands. Following a great battle both Eteocles and Polynices, brothers of Antigone, die and Eteocles receives a proper military burial and honouring but Polyneices is deemed a traitor and is left to rot in the fields and in turn being denied an afterlife. Finding this to be ridiculous and horrible, Antigone proceeds to bury him even after it being announced as illegal and punishable by death, declared by the recently appointed king her own uncle/brother Creon, and is inevitably caught.…

    Another interest of the public with professional sports is the way the league's handle the misconduct of their players. The way society sees it, is that since they are getting paid huge amounts of money, the least they can do is act right for the sake that they are in the spotlight, however some tend to think that just because they are on tv doesn't mean they aren't human.

Whether such criminal act is made up for real, sports leagues have started to take the punishments more serious for the sake of their brand. “Commissioners of these leagues are imposing harsher and more frequent…

    Thank You For Arguing what Aristotle, Lincoln, and Homer Simpson can Teach Us about The Art of Persuasion is an extremely well written book. It teaches the art of rhetoric, and Jay Heinrichs makes learning interesting by infusing lessons with current pop-culture which makes it highly relatable. In particular, I found Chapter 25, “Give a Persuasive Talk” to be both compelling and helpful. In essence, rhetoric forms the basis of an extremely important skill set that everyone should be given the opportunity to learn and benefit from. Heinrichs combines the art of rhetoric with modern culture to make lessons more appealing to young readers.…

    Assessment of our students’ academic progress is essential, but the mindset that high SAT or ACT scores will be a student’s only ticket into college is one that places unnecessary and unwanted stress on the average high school student. Colleges have relied on standardized test scores as a means of determining how college ready a student is and what opportunities and scholarships are available for them. While the SAT and ACT tests are intended to provide a fair assessment for students across the nation, they are simply not an accurate representation of a student’s potential because of the different circumstances which surround a student.
