Good morning/good afternoon ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Aldous Huxley, the author of the futuristic dystopian novel “Brave New World” is innocent in rightfully challenging the idea of a modern utopia. He invites the reader to challenge the ideal society as his writing is a cautionary tale and a warning to people that humanity may transform from being free independent people to slaves to our own greediness and society. “Brave New World” is a disturbing, loveless world and Huxley shows this through his writing, tapping into themes such as eugenics, behavioral conditioning, the use of advanced technology to control an entire society and showing an extreme but honest version of today’s economic standards. Huxley doesn’t mean to say that people would be happier if they were all genetically modified, nor…
Dear Executive Board of Alpha Kappa Psi, Max Foster has recently contacted me about my discharge in the pledge class of the fall of 2015. I understand the policy for a failed quiz. I am requesting the permission to look at quiz 1 from October 7 chapter meeting. From my stand point, at least to say, I learned all the the information in both quizzes by heart because it means much more than just a plain text to me. The previous night, I spent hours studying for both quizzes with my fellow pledge brothers who are willing to vouch for me.…

I write asking for a second chance! I jumped the gun and took the last quiz, Chapter 13, thinking that they would be similar to the previous ones I took, but unfortunately, I was wrong. For example, Question 4 asks for the two metrics that would be used for the Maximum Tolerable Downtime (MTD), but the book did not mention RTO and RPO, so I did not have any idea what the correct answer was. (I got that answer wrong.) There were other questions that were not mentioned in the book either.…

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13,14 Every day God's salvation draws nearer, which means we must be more diligent and persevering in our walk with the Him. We do not have the "luxury of time" to be consumed, preoccupied, or even fatigued in our day-to-day responsibilities that we become distracted to what God wants to accomplish in each of our lives and in His church! We are nearing the day of the "coming of our Lord and Savior," which signifies the need to pick-up our pace so that we will finish our earthly race and hear our Lord proclaim, "Well done thou good and faithful servant..."…

The writing expected from college courses is one that most are unfamiliar with. Although students learn basic English skills throughout grade school and up to high school, most of the advanced steps are forgotten by the time the student is to enter college. Paired with this, are the nontraditional students, who haven’t studied advanced academic language for long periods of time. Professors are expecting students of all kinds of study to have a high academic vocabulary and high writing skill. Often times a gap in remedial writing courses within the first semester or so.…

In everyone’s life, there will be trials they will undergo. Revelation 2:10 says, “Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life. A great number of people are able to persevere through the trials they face and continue living their lives.…

We must Let Ourselves Be Heard People of Quadrant L, I know that we are suffering. I know that we are weak, and I know that our hope is dwindling, but we must rally and put forth our greatest efforts to let ourselves be known. The more we let ourselves fade into the darkness, the more we stand by, we slowly drift away. We must not let that happen, we must not let fading hopes destroy our lives and our families, we must fight to survive, and that we will. With food and supplies thinning, our only hope is to forage the abandoned quadrants for supplies that we need and seek out remaining colonies that are still surviving out there.…
An informative speech is a speech where you are educating an audience on a topic that they may not know much about, while a persuasive speech uses a bias opinion to persuade the audience to change their opinion about a topic. A persuasive speech may also be informative because of the information it contains, but an informative speech will never be persuasive. The reason behind this is in order to persuade the audience to take your side in a matter they may also need to be informed more about the topic before making their decision, making this a persuasive speech. An informative speech will never contain persuasive information (Brewer, G., 2001).…
Final Persuasive Speech Reflection Believe me when I say that my progress from then to now has come a long way. Initially after giving the persuasive speech, I felt that there has been little process in all of this time that I had spent trying to learn to communicate more effectively. Worst of all perhaps, I felt powerless to do anything to change this. This was my most practiced speech and it did not feel that way. Even the thought of having to go back and essentially relive those 7 minutes was not something I was particularly excited about.…
Every election we're all demanded to dutifully vote for the lesser evil, to not do so is tantamount to treachery. People then seem to collectively delude themselves that this lesser evil isn't in fact evil at all. In an amazing twist of fate it is revealed that they were in fact a saint all along, and so much 'real change' is risked if they aren't supported and united behind to stop that really evil candidate winning. The lesser evil of course says little of substance, but they assure you they share your 'progressive values', whatever that means.…
