As I take a look at code-switching, I have found out that mankind uses it daily like economics. It is amazing how we use it without thinking of it. When I first found out the definition of code-switching, I thought to myself and said I cannot deny that at all. Code-switching is the practice of alternating between two or more languages or varieties of language in conversation. Since finding out more about this topic, I have examined myself as I used it. There are plenty of ways that it can be utilized. Code-switching is associated with social media applications such as Twitter, Facebook, and Linked In. It may be used by the following: iMessage, FaceTime, Skype, and GroupMe. As we examine the difference in my conversation there are many reasons why it is different. From what I remember I have used it talking to my cousin in sign language because he is deaf. I have used it while in high school, on the job, and in the military. I currently used it while attending Claflin University talking with my professors, peers, and administrative personnel. In part “a” of my conversation, I used my text messages with a family friend who name is Davise Angevine. We have been friends or as we like to state, “Brothers from another mother” since 2011. He was totally fine with me using our dialogue for this class. As in part A, you will find slang, misspelled words, and grammatical errors. I used that language with most of my friends and family members except one. I do not utilize it with my…

Standing for the national anthem is merely an obligation for some while others symbolize and associate it with the sacrifices of the lives lost men and women in service, have put in creating the country we live in. As for Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback of the 49ers, standing for the national anthem represents the idea that the individual takes pride in their country. And, so, Kaepernick chose to “take a stand by kneeling” (Witts) to express his beliefs, create awareness, and protest (Fig.…

Argument surrounds us. It plays “with [our] emotions, changes [our] attitude, talks [us] into a decision, and goads [us] to buy things” (Heinrichs 18). Rhetoric is the argument’s decoder. This section talks about the effectiveness of rhetoric on persuading the audience or adversary to agree with the speaker’s points. It is, as Heinrichs states, an “art of influence, friendship, and eloquence, of ready wit and irrefutable logic.” The three basic tools of rhetoric are ethos, pathos, and logos. All…

Verbal and non-verbal communications are the connections between two or more people with the exchange of thoughts, messages or information. There are three forms of communication that require skills on both the sender’s and receiver’s part. Regarding the three forms of communication, the first is interpersonal communication. According to Sarah Trenholm, interpersonal communication is “generally reserved for two-person, face-to-face interaction and has several unique characteristics; such as,…

due to the displacement current generated between the two plates of the capacitor. The other electrode of transmitter and receiver acts as ground which acts as a return path to the circuit by avoiding it from short circuit. Since the ground is at zero potential always, electric fields are setup between the ground and the electrodes and thus the return path for the current is formed. Therefore current and therefore data can be sent from the transmitter to the receiver just like any other electric…

Slaves to batteries and power outlets; we have entered the new America. Energy, power, electricity all impose the same idea for us in today's world. We are in an ever ending loop of searching for a source of power that is both efficient and clean. As a child, the thoughts of how electricity powers everything from a toaster to our own brain sparked my interest in electrical engineering. The thoughts of creating light from a potato is unfathomable. I have burnt myself countless of times trying to…
