Still, Trump’s claim is bullshit because he arbitrarily claims sources are “fake” so he can ignore their evidence, doesn’t care to examine the poll he cites, and is ultimately trying to influence how his followers view the media. Because every American can’t be surveyed, it’s impossible to determine the absolute…

the most important quality for any author or researcher is the ability to use sources well. Whether you are composing an economic survey, a scientific study, or even a personal account, being able to coherently and clearly represent outside sources in your work is crucial. The difficulty, however, lies not in acknowledging this fact, but in actually learning to effectively integrate texts into your writing. Using a source cannot be limited to stamping out another author’s exact viewpoints and…

think they have more knowledge and when they try to explain things to their children it creates the feeling of criticism. Tannen states that often the most hurtful meta-messages of family talk “is the implication of incompetence- even (if not especially) when the children grow up” (Tannen D., 2001, p. 23). She explains that grown children often hope for their parent’s approval and criticism can be hurtful. This is why communication is important in stopping people from getting hurt when…

Bold is a word with many meanings and some people take bold actions in their life. Imagine moving to the middle of nowhere, to a no-man’s land. That’s what Benjamin Mulford of Minnesota did when he decided to create to Port Salerno. He took a bold step in creating what he called, “Utopia.” He made a place, where we today can go to enjoy seafood, and boat.

As it had many sources to pick from, the topic chosen by me was difficult to write about. The topic “do police use deadly force too often?” is what was being written about. The issue for this essay was finding reliable sources to fight for the claim. Thought essay three was difficult to write, it makes me feel that it was near perfect essay written about the topic. With…

and technology, yet they stand by it. Rather protecting the morals and values as a “person”, they rather protect the source that’s sucking away their morals and values. There are simply no good reasons on why anyone couldn’t rip apart from something that is mentally taking over, but then again for everything running off energy in the world, there is a main source or a line of sources.
