Fred and Rosemary West “Though serial killers only make up for one percent of murders, nearly a dozen account for one hundred murders annually” (“Serial Killers”). It is often asked what possesses someone to rape, torture , and murder other people.”To answer this question, studies have shown due to these sexual desires and the need to fulfill their arousing fantasies it often drives these individuals to murder those who are complete strangers” “Serial Killers:Nature vs Nurture”. “Rosemary and…

Today is one of the best days in my entire life. The radio station 107.1 gave out special phone calls to celebrities if they answered correctly their question. Only one lucky winner would be able to spend the entire evening with a special celebrity, so I called. Turned out my phone call was accepted; the question I got turned out to be “What radio station are we on?” of course my answer was right which made me the lucky winner. The station allowed five minutes to think of a celebrity. Donald…

It is safe to say I have read a few books on eschatology/prophecy (study of the last things). Many describe The Antichrist as a mastermind without differentiating between a mastery that stems from wisdom and understanding, and a “cunning” that proceeds from craftiness and wickedness. They are not the same. The latter is a mastery of foolishness. The Antichrist is anti-Christ. Although in appearances, he may try to imitate him, in reality, he is everything Christ is “not”. Where does wisdom come…

Today is known as the golden age of visual media, which has increased the accessibility of advertisements, and subsequently created a greater influence on society. Televised advertisements usually appear as commercials. Commercials are the quickest way to influence and effectively install a perceived necessity through an emotional appeal. A quintessential example of commercials that convey emotions is political commercials. Since the dawn of television, politicians have taken advantage of visual…

“Our Children are Watching…” The upcoming presidential election is an election unlike any other. The first candidate without any military or governmental experience, Donald J. Trump, is the Republican nominee. While the Democratic nominee is the first woman ever nominated— Hillary R. Clinton. Despite the lack of ads in this election compared to previous years, the rhetorical strategies still focus on discrediting the other opponent. Hillary Clinton’s advertisements are no exception. Hillary…

As a middle class, heterosexual, white female there are certain privileges that I have grown accustomed to. My life has been lived from the point of remote feminism, I have sprinkled my services as the privileged protector across the realm of the marginalized only when it has been convenient to do so. However, the time in which remote feminism is acceptable has now come to an end. Donald Trump has been elected to the presidency. The reality of this election cycle and its myriad of radiating…

The mythical Donald Trump is a knotty character, he trades on several mythologies involving success, power, a man of “action”, authenticity (tells it as it is as “he’s one of us”) and the American greatness and destiny. Analysis on media texts is necessary for the audience to gain a better understanding of the power media texts produce meanings. We need textual analysis to identify how different elements of media texts form together to produce meaning and also how ‘common sense’ meanings are…

Business issue: Approaches to Leadership I would think that organizations embrace additional approaches to leadership when problems are not being mitigated by the usual approach. A long-standing leadership model is the Fiedler contingency model; its revamped version is called the cognitive resource theory. “The contingency theory of leadership has proven to be one of the most valid and reliable measures of an individual’s leadership potential” (Waters, 2013). Likewise, “cognitive…

It seems this election, it is another day, another scandal for both of our candidates. Recently, a former Apprentice contestant, Summer Zervos, accused Donald Trump of sexual assault. Zervos was a contestant during the 2005 season, and later met with Donald Trump to possibly become an employee at Trump’s business. It was during this time period that Trump allegedly made numerous inappropriate advances towards Zervos. In reference to Trump, Zervos stated,“You treated me as though I was an object…

Hersey and Blanchards’ theory of situational leadership: The situational leadership theory developed by Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard as a “situational model” suggesting that there is no single specific leadership style and successful leaders tend to adopt variable styles according to the follower’s maturity level. The model suggests that leaders deal with different levels of maturity in different kind of working groups hence adjusting their leading strategy related to their emphasis on task…
