In both articles there are some words that are a lie. All I know is that she would give out marriage licenses to same sex couples, but she said as long as her name is not in the document is okay. The ones she gave out in the license it said “pursuant to federal” not her name which is weird. The two articles that we read, “The Pope and Kim Davis: Seven Points to Keep in Mind” by James Martin, SJ and “How Pope Francis Undermined the Goodwill of His Trip and Proved to Be a Coward” by Michelangelo Signorile are mostly on logos and pathos. The only reason I think it’s based on that is because it express emotion and logic.…
“Professor Robbin?” The class had not yet started, there was a few minutes before the official start of Mr. Robbin’s English 112: Argument-Based Research class. I didn’t think Mr. Robbin was a professor, but this kid didn’t know the difference. There are not many professors at the community college level, if any, but Mr. Robbin had the distinguished look of one with his tweed jacket and the patches on his elbows of his sleeves. Even with his name being called, he did not turn around from the board.…

* For the Fall for the Book assignment, I chose to attend Janet Mock's event. Last year, she was supposed to come; however, she was unable to make it to George Mason University. Before learning about the Fall for the Book assignment, I heard about the event through my Introduction to Woman and Gender Studies class. The upcoming topic that we were going to discuss in class was transgender women and men, so my professor encouraged my class to attend the event. *…
When a person or a group of people are left to their own devices without the restraint and moral compassing of civilized society, they can quickly revert to a berserk animalistic state where nothing is off limits and it can be brutal. Rainsford experiences this idea first hand in the short story, ¨A Dangerous Game¨. In our world -- civilized and tame -- there is no ability to fathom how such a heinous act could be committed; hunting another human being for sport (Dashes & semicolon). It can only be in the isolated existence of a human, that their primal being can completely take over themselves and rationalize something so fundamentally wrong; not just murder, but murder for pleasure and sport. After falling overboard into the ocean, Rainsford…
Florida International University has an honor code concerning cheating, which must be followed. Those rules should not be violated. Students have to be honest in academic matters. A student who does not do her his own work or gains an unfair advantage over his or her colleagues is guilty of cheating. Examples of cheating are submitting the work of another person as their own, copying from another student’s work, plagiarism, and among other academic dishonesty that are unacceptable.…
The Seven Deadly Sins Today, written by Henry Fairlie, expressed each sin and how it is manifested in our society. One of the seven deadly sin is avarice which means, extreme greed for wealth or material gain. This entire chapter gives examples of how people act of avarice and how it envelopes our being. One example that most people can imagine would be Scrooge and how his greed took over his entire life and put him in misery. Fairlie continues and explains how possession will possess the owner, instead of the owner possessing the possessions.…
Have you ever felt that you are not good enough? Recent research studies suggest that many freshmen are facing the very real fear of failure. Incoming students wonder if they will fit in and do well enough to stay in a university. In his New York Times article, “Conquering the Freshman Fear of Failure,” David L. Kirp explains that he believes several freshman doubt themselves, their social skills, and their ability to do well in college. In this article, David L. Kirp effectively argues that this cycle of doubt can make students more likely to drop out of school and that universities need to step in and encourage students through his use of ethos, logos, and pathos.…

Perception, Abuse, and Delinquency Abstract The following essay looks at Dane Peterson’s view of juvenile delinquency in his novel, Sins of the Fathers (2003). Peterson argues that there is a strong correlation between the abuse that a delinquent faces as a child and their delinquent behavior. To prove his point, he draws upon his theory of five different types of victims. This is not to say that these are the only type of victims found within delinquency, but these are some the most common ones found.…

Also, another time lust was used was when…

Poverty is said to be the biggest obstacle when it comes to health. Poor individuals are more likely to die at a younger age (Pimento & Kernested, 2015, p. 29).…
I was taught not to cheat the moment my feet touched the classroom. In grade school, we are told that cheating is a bad thing to do. In high school, cheating was a poorly kept secret among the student population. In college, cheating is a temptation that students must abstain from in order to receive the best possible education that they can. Taking the honest path will ultimately benefit students the most by practicing positive traits like honesty, and integrity.…
Envy, one of the seven deadly sins is a secretly emotion, kept in by those who are envious. If you are envious of someone, then you most likely wont tell that person or admit that you're envious. Wanting what someone else has and resenting them for having it is envy. For example if your best friend comes to school with a shirt you’ve wanted all summer you want to be happy for him/her, but instead you may feel bitter, a grudge,hatred or spiteful. You may ask yourself, Why do people tend to envy other?…
