These have become some of the most popular trends over the past ten years, unfortunately they are all forms of cultural appropriation. One of the most popular controversies to face this generation is the point where cultural appreciation becomes cultural appropriation. The definition of cultural appropriation is “the adoption or use of…

I was missing them all together. Usually it was out of place and awkwardly worded. The course taught me how to use them in the proper place to help my paper flow. Unlike my old papers, my attention getter furthered my discussion, instead of being filler. Old papers either did not have an attention getter, or had something that did not pertain well. My most recent papers, including papers from other classes, have had strong attention getters, like analogies or facts that pertain to the…

dish flat on the bench, mix the agar thoroughly by gently swirling the plate as directed by your teacher. Avoid splashing the agar on to the lid or over the edge of the dish. Allow the agar to set. This is known as a pour plate. Use a pipette and filler (or syringe) to place 9cm3 distilled water into empty bottles B and C. Using the same pipette, transfer 1cm3 antiseptic from bottle A to bottle B. Gently shake B to mix the contents, then transfer 1cm3 from B into…

Video #1 The first video is of an 8 year old boy, AA. Though this video does not provide background on AA’s speech and language history in order to make any concrete judgment, we may observe for potential therapy. This video also does not give a long enough language sample to fully conclude any assessment, although it gives the opportunity to begin comprehension of AA’s language abilities. Viewing auditory comprehension as a child’s difficulty with multi-step instructions, listening, and having…

1. Overall, I think Jackson did very well with his speech. He kept his vocal fillers (such as: umm, uhh, like, etc.) to a minimum, which I applaud him greatly for! Jackson handled his note cards throughout the speech well and only used them when necessary. His nonverbal communication complimented his words and made me feel comfortable while watching. His speech and vocal tone was loud enough that I did not struggle to hear him. He kept eye contact with his audience members, another big plus. The…

the current book that I was reading, which was called “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand, and what also assisted me was to move around, so that I could avoid the fight or flight response. Nevertheless, I acknowledge that I may possibly have incorporated filler words at the time, seeing that I did not realize that those words even existed when I would talk. As my introduction speech came to an end, I learned that there existed several issues that I needed to improve on, so that I could achieve my goal.…

The concluding paragraph is the grand finale to writing a paper. They have the power to make professors stop and think “wow, that was an overall strong paper” or “wow, that went downhill quick.” After writing my essays this semester for Writing 102, I believe that my conclusions most likely evoked the second response. Usually my conclusions tend to stray off-topic, or when I attempt to write a creative opening sentence in my conclusion, it does not relate to my paper at all; therefore, it leaves…

Sequential vs Simultaneous Lineups The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines sequential as “of, relating to, or arranged in a sequence”. (Sequential) This means the pictures of each suspected criminal in a lineup are presented one at a time and one after the other. The dictionary defines simultaneous as, “occurring or operating at the same time”. (Simultaneous) This form of lineup means the mugshots are presented all together for identification. In the United States, over 337 convicted prisoners…
