No doubt that the wording in those post is quite disturbing. First thing to notice is that the comment is typed in all capital letters which is a form of expressing anger. Secondly, by calling the palestinian people “COCKROACHES” , the individual has made use of a metaphor. It is clear that these are people not cockroaches but it he has tried to…

tragedy. When the actors assign the roles, the story is introduced as a piece of comedy rather than the sad tale of two ill-fated lovers. Then, when the playlet is performed, the audience’s comments mock it. Finally, Bottom’s portrayal of Pyramus’ death ridicules the supposedly tragic moment, and the first comment after the end of the play and the tragic death of Thisbe is devoid of care for the main characters. Shakespeare does all of this for the sake of Bottom, to make it seem as though he is…

play that reflects on this subject. Macbeth states, “Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing” This comment demonstrates well Macbeth's thoughts on life. He begins with a word picture describing a person who is worried about their moment on stage and then when they get that moment nobody is watching them. This suggests that Macbeth believes that…

When one hears the word “racism”, most have a clear understanding of the concept that was learned from a young age. The dictionary definition defines racism as, “Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior.” Although there appears to be a clear idea of what racism means, is it correct? In the dictionary definition it uses the word “prejudice”, but does that word describe racism? The word prejudice means…

Docs’ sharing feature was easier than opening, saving, and uploading documents repeatedly through email. Furthermore, Google Docs will allow for teachers to monitor each student’s comments and feedback due to the comment chat feature in the document (Zhou, Simpson, & Domizi, 2012). Students can comment and reply to comments using this feature, which will allow for monitoring of feedback…

bony. Also, her right eye is visually impaired, meaning that she can’t see with her right eye. Everyday, Lizzie is very positive instead of negative. There are many negative comments from people teasing her about her looks, and some even telling her to die (suicide). Despite her syndrome and all these mean and hostile comments, Lizzie is always positive no matter what because she always thinks of the brighter side. For instance, instead of feeling bad about her looks, she thinks of the…

I decided to write this post on behalf of the fallacies that were discussed in the first chapter. Of the logical fallacies that were discussed within the book, the one I chose to research was that of the Ad Hominem Fallacy; though more than that were found within the article. This fallacy occurs when an argument has in sued and the person or source of the argument is being attacked. Instead of the content of that argument being judged by merit the source of that content is being judged or…

describes a sexist as a person who shares sexist beliefs and participates in sexist behaviors. Sexist beliefs are beliefs that revolve around sexism. The word sexist can describe the nature of a comment or gesture, as well. For example, a construction worker’s whistle could have a sexist meaning. A comment about the emotionality of women could have a sexist meaning, as well. A sexist is a person who frequently displays the characteristics of sexism. Some sexist people believe that women do not…

They developed a technique to interpret the meaning behind comments on online news articles. The analyzation of comments used both quantitative and qualitative methods of measurement. Researchers were interested in focusing exclusively on transgender females and bathroom usage. From an Australian version of Google News, they totaled 1035 comments from over 190 online articles. These comments were further categorized as negative or non-negative based on whether or not the person…

Although stereotypes show that single parenting is difficult, Marissa Hicks shows that stereotypes are not always true to follow. Marissa Hicks is a single mother to her daughter and society does not let that fact get past her. She often receives comments from other individuals saying that she is someone that sleeps around with other people which frustrates her and makes her…
