Politeness

I would like to address the so-called Young-Earth viewpoint relating to catastrophic plate tectonics. The Young-Earthier reject the idea that the Earth is billions, millions, or even hundreds of thousands of years old, instead insisting that the Earth is only about 6,000 years old ("The 10 Best Evidences from Science that Confirm a Young Earth"). How this mindset relates to plate tectonics is their explanation of the great flood and its effects on the physical properties of the Earth’s crust.…

Implicature Analysis Ryan takes a decision that Hari should go on jogging to lose weight. This appears to be observance of tact maxim as he is concerned with Hari’s health benefits. Ryan’s intention behind saying this is clear that Hari should do something regarding his physique. The response also changes topic of discussion. Maybe Ryan is not in a mood to argue with Alok and Hari again. Ryan asks Alok for jogging as well and Alok’s answer ‘go to hell’ appears to be violating tact maxim and…

1. How is attribution defined? It’s defined as the internal (thinking) and external (talking) process of interpreting and understanding what is behind our own and other behaviors. For example, when asking an instructor a question and they give the student a confusing look; most students would assume that the instructor was confused and or the student asked a dumb question. 2. How does Heider describe naïve scientist and causal locus? Heider explains naïve scientist as how people would act, as…

help overcome, leading to improvement. In John Knowles’s A Separate Peace, characters such as Leper struggle with the acceptance of their discovered inner truth. Discovery of the truth shatters Leper’s romanticized view of the world: turning his politeness and naivety into a corrupted, angry juxtaposition of his former self, and transforming his flowery and illusionary perspective into a reflection of the shock of reality…

These two chapters enlightened us about the disability rights movement, we learnt from Frieda Zames study based on the interview of the 100 activist about the history of struggle and how they fought for their rights. Disability is not by far something that is pleasant by any means. The situations that a disabled person have to go through, I learnt from this chapter, from the activists inter views and their about the issues they had to bear. Disability is closely related to wars as well as it…

Butlers idea of gender performance can be linked to Zimmerman and West concept of ‘doing gender.’ West and Zimmerman believe that gender is something we carry out, rather than something we are. It is a ‘routine, methodical, and recurring accomplishment.’ (West and Zimmerman 1987: 126). "Doing gender work" refers to the performance of societal activities, interactions and perceptions which is used to define behaviours as either feminine or masculine; performing specific roles according to ones…

On February 1st, 2017 riots broke out on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley. It was a brawl waiting to happen. The night pitted a self-described right wing provocateur, Milo Yiannopoulos, and his band of merry Trump supporters against 1,500 protesters known as Anti-Fa (short for Anti-Fascists) and the group known as By Any Means Necessary. Protesters started fires, threw fireworks at the building, attacked members of the crowd, and threw rocks at the police who were guarding…

Dating in the 1950s-1960s is definately different then now. Back then the boy asked the girl out and he also went into the girl's house and spoke with the father before she could go on a date. many of the quaint rituals of dating in the1950s-1960's show common courtesy that is lacking today. here are the ways girls had to do things in the 1960's. The girl couldn't pay for the date. At a restaraunt, its ladylike to tell a date what you wnat for dinner so he can order for you. Here is the…

not relate to this time at all. The book is set in the 1830’s and takes place in the south during a time when blacks and whites did not integrate. The setting is Missouri along the shores of the Mississippi River and it is a time of segregation, politeness and family. I truly find the book boring with no redeeming qualities. This is not to say that The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a bad book, I think one person can't make such a broad statement, but in my opinion, it is a book that is…

Professionalism is where individuals handle themselves with skill and politeness in the workplace. Often, it can be difficult to conduct one’s self professionally when emotions become a factor. As a wedding photographer, my job brings about so many emotions. Type-A personalities typically have angst during the day, introverts normally are overwhelmed, and some personalities thrive off of the energy of the day. Emotions are based off events and normally short lived, whereas moods are general.…
