Carrot And Stick Argument Analysis

Improved Essays
We’ve all heard of the ‘carrot and stick’ approach, where the carrot is the reward for certain behavior. VHS initial training was the carrot to lure you in. Starting at 9:00 a.m. it was held in the same building that I had interviewed in. Noting again how a small house had been made into their headquarters, I wondered just how viable this online high school was. Entering through the back door, I was hit by the smell of coffee. Walking into what was probably a living room connected to a dining room I saw three round tables surrounded by chairs and to the side a rectangular table laden with breakfast dishes. I immediately regretted having grabbed something to eat before I left. People circled around as they ate quietly exchanging names and backgrounds. A brown haired woman who looked to be in her late twenty’s walked up to me introducing herself as Sandra. Telling me how excited she was, she had just gotten her teaching certificate and this was her first job.
Looking around she asked, “Are you an Expert or Mentor?” It occurred to me that I didn’t know. I was still a little hazy on what exactly I had been hired to do. I remembered that the ad I had answered had mentioned hiring an “Expert”, but during my interview both Mentors and Experts had been talked

I am as big a fan of abstract as I am of realism and everything between. I don’t judge others art on their capacity to replicate things unerringly, but prefer to appreciate the imaginative, innovative ways in which people express themselves. I believe this leaves me open to a wide variety of styles, abilities, and expressive techniques when it comes to art. Yet, as a teacher you look at the skill levels that are grade level appropriate and make determinations of competence based upon those in addition to other factors. The first submission I received as an Expert gave me a severe case of

    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 the article, “The Professional Case for Force Management”, I believe that the author did not make an effective argument. Therefore, I do not support his argument that the importance of professional military officers understanding and studying force management do to the lack of substantive and systemic evidence supporting his thesis. His argument draws disparate conclusions from examples that he loosely ties back to Force Management. An example of this can be found on page 1-2 of his paper.…

    peacekeeping abroad is able to express the values of their country. Through the years in past recognition, Lester B. Pearson was a well-known advocator in the promotion of peace and security during the Suez Crisis in 1956. Canada’s political views were greatly dominated by Great Britain, but in the event of the Suez Crisis, Pearson allowed Canada’s views to undergo a transition that was promoting the interests of Canada and our urge to act on the international scale (Carroll, 2009). Through Pearson’s ability to establish the United Nations Emergency Force to resolve the conflict of the Suez Crisis and earn a Nobel Peace Prize for these initiatives, Canada was taken to the center stage and was officially viewed as a peacekeeper (Carroll, 2009).…

    This became a major issue due to the fact that in order for NAGPRA to apply, Native American tribal groups must be able to provide evidence that the remains discovered had been buried on what was once or currently. Thus in the eyes of the Native American community, to deny their claims of being the descendants of the Kennewick man equates to denying their religion and traditions. (Jones 2005 cited by Sayer 2010: 112). This is due to the fact that according to oral tradition and religious beliefs, their ancestors were placed there over 10,000 years ago however the Supreme Court did not rule oral tradition as viable evidence of that particular tribe inhabiting the region at that time (Herman 2015: 181). Thus while NAGPRA was created to settle…

    Indeed, quiz show provides a feeling of everyone has equal opportunities to win no matter what job, talent, class, gender or race they are through doing same quizzes. As Holmes has argued about Fiske's explanation of games and rituals, games separate out winners from contestants as different, but rituals bringing different individuals in same levels and implying commonality (2008, p.93). In Mastermind, rituals fill in that idea by reducing individual's differences and make them compete at same starting line as equal competitor. For example, the host askes each contestant's name, job and the specialist area they choose to do the quiz before they start to answer, and tells competitors that each of them have equal time to answer the quizzes which…

    Technology is changing our lives and whether we like it or not we find ourselves having to go along with it. Writers, readers, composers, researchers and so on need to find a way to adapt to the change that comes with what we call “The Technology Era”. As always there will be two sides to any change; the one that will agree with it and open their arms to it, and a second that will forever talk about how great times used to be when things were done the only way they know to do things because they do not like change or cannot adapt to new. Nicholas Carr (2008) states “I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I’m reading.…

He continues by explaining that people lose contact with each other when one moves away. Patetic’s argument is that people should remain within a decent proximity to each other in order to have a sense of community.…

I was able to work with ease as I told my mother good-bye since I knew Rose very well. Time slowly ticked by as I sat there with Rose for what seemed like hours.…

    It only goes to show that the question that more than likely receives the most generic answers from an audience, can also be the hardest to answer truthfully. What is art? If you were to ask a group of one thousand people that very question, the chances are that the majority of them would answer it by saying something along the lines of “It is and expression of yourself and how you feel” and “Painting, drawing, sculpting, and photographs.” I refuse to be restricted to these two categories, only to answer the same way all others have. That may make me seem stuck up in some way, however, I feel that I have a fairly unique understanding that not many think about.…
