In this essay I have sought to understand and enlighten the intricacies of spoken language by studying two audio clips – one from the television reality show ‘The Apprentice’ and the second a recorded conversation of the captain of the Costa Concordia at the time of its sinking. Written language often falls short in conveying most emotions such as sarcasm or surprise. This is even truer with subtle emotions like annoyance or shyness. Most formal languages afford us with at most the question mark…
This article is a perfect example of the ignorance that surrounds the Last Fridays release of The Trump Video. The article suggest that Billy Bush was NBC's scapegoate after the release of the video, and that the video was released as a strategic way to bringing down Trump. I don't disagree that Billy Bush was let go as a result of the video. I also don't disagree that it was strategically released with the intention of tarnishing Trump. However, I do disagree with authors logic. In fact, I…
Hillary Clinton’s Unfavorability Ratings are Driven by Media Coverage If you pay any attention to the media this campaign season, one thing you would hear is how unpopular both presumptive nominees of the two parties are. The latest poll numbers of Clinton and Trump’s favorable and unfavorable are as follows: Hillary Clinton: 43% Favorable 55% Unfavorable Donald Trump: 29% Favorable 70% Unfavorable According to the media, these are the worst poll numbers of recent presidential…
The Future of America. I believe that Hillary Clinton should be our next president for the following reasons: education, gun control and education. As Hillary Clinton once said, "I want you to know, I've heard you. Your cause is our cause. Our country needs your ideas, energy, and passion.” Hillary Clinton stands for the people and wants us to come together and fight for basic human rights. She is the best candidate for president because her words inspire people to improve America…
For the past year, I have hidden behind a wall of insecurity. Being a Mexican-American in today's politically charged society has separated me from the rest of the country. It is now evident that racism is well and alive in our country and was merely concealed for years until now. Now, Mexicans and other various ethnic groups are oppressed daily and labeled as “unfit” and “unwanted”. As for Mexicans, President Donald Trump thinks he has a good solution. Build a wall and pass laws to restrict the…
George Walker Bush was born on July 6, 1946 in New Haven, Connecticut. He was the son of George H. W. Bush and Barbara Bush. George was the oldest out of five siblings. He was from a very wealthy and powerful family. His father was the 41st president of the United States. His mother was a warm and loving homemaker. George was a typical boy in his early years. He did not do well in school and often got into trouble. In fact, he did so poorly in school that at times he thought he would…
How do you want this country to be for the next four years? Do you want everyone to be equal or just one certain group to power over the other. If you want everyone to be equal, you should vote for Hillary Clinton. She is a great woman, who has also been involved in the government her whole life. Trump has never been involved in anything with the government. Which is one reason why Hillary should be president for these next four years. Another reason Hillary should be president is because she…
Republican voters, you hollered and hollered about how you wanted to make America great again. I say, get a mirror. Your hate for Hillary Clinton was at a boiling point, I get that. Ever since the Republicans took over the Congress and later the Senate, they have been the party of NO. They said, they are not cooperating with the Black President, and attacking Hillary every chance they got. There was a mood among Republicans, to vote for any REPUBLICAN candidate the won the primaries. That…
Actor and TV legend Dick Van Dyke just endorsed Democratic Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders. Related; Did Ron Paul Just Endorse Bernie Sanders? Why is this important? Well for a couple reasons. For one Van Dyke is 90 years old and because he has been around and in the entertainment industry for 70 plus years he has seen his fair share of corruption and chicanery inside and outside of the industry, and maybe more importantly this is the first Presidential candidate Van Dyke has felt…
A small shoe company made by Bill Bowerman in 1966, but then renamed in 1978 has quickly transformed into one of the biggest American icons. Starting with just twelve hundred dollars in the bank, Nike has become an icon of not only America but of the shoe and clothing industries worldwide. When I think of buying equipment for any sport I immediately think of Nike and I believe that is what most people have come to their minds as well. Nike is popular everywhere and the highest of athletes as…
