Final Paper For me, the essence of what it means to be a DigVocMan cannot be tied down to just one thing, because it is something that continually grew and was expanded upon throughout the entire year. Through all of the discussions and readings our class has had, the meaning of being a DigVocMan has come to encapsulate many different things. In order to highlight the main points of being a DigVocMan, I chose what I believe are three of the most important passages that we have read. The first…

's essay, "When will people help in a crisis?" could argue that people have become cold and should open their eyes to what is going on around them so they do not neglect the people surrounding them. We should agree with Darley and Lanate because there are people who choose to ignore those around them even when those people are being abused. One point Darley and Latane make is that American ideology is a leading cause of a lack of response when someone is in need. In one section of the essay,…

thought it was just going to be a class where I write essays by the high school standards but my opinion quickly changed. I chose the first essay that I had written in this course in which I really connected to and had a big emotional attachment to the topic I chose. Bullying is a very common topic, and was easy to revise my essay into something else such as the book I wrote. The things I learned in this class made revising my narrative essay so much easier. This class made me such a smarter…
