Wishful thinking

As CCI note 13/3 mentions, my primary reason for choosing rolled storage for the scarf is that it is a space saver. Since folding the object is not recommended (Nielson 213), it would be difficult to find a storage space for the scarf that would be able to accommodate the length of the scarf without wasting storage space. Additionally, keeping the scarf rolled makes it much easier to move than if it was stored lying flat. The one pitfall to rolled storage is that in order to view the textile, a…

The article, “The Coddling of the American Mind” is written by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt and published on the website www.theatlantic.com. In the article, the authors discuss the increasing popularity of political correctness in the classroom. It is very easy to tell that the authors are against the heavy usage of trigger warnings. Based on the authors backgrounds and the nature of the website, it can be determined that this is a credible source of information. The main aim of the…

I am definitely guilty of using direct speech a lot of the time. I am someone who likes things to get done without people messing around. Tannen said "Those who expect orders to be given indirectly are offended when they come unadorned."(Tannen 395). I am a perfectionist ,who like things done a certain way. Therefore, as stated before I normally use direct speech that is very detailed and to the point. Different cultures take indirect and direct speech very differently. America is a very busy…

Three Bases for Evaluating Essay Writing The three bases for evaluating writing are unity, coherence and support. These fundamentals must be present for effective writing. Unity is parallel structure and overall flow. Coherence is clarity throughout the essay, and support/evidence provide the specific details that support and validate the main idea of an essay. These fundamentals of writing must all be present in any genre of writing. Unity in writing ensures effective and cohesive structure…

A Politician’s Best Friend: Fallacies Fallacies are claims used to support an argument without proper logic or evidence. They occur in a multitude of fashions such as broad, or “sweeping,” generalizations and using a lack of evidence to support claims (appeal to ignorance.) While it is true that fallacies weaken the validity of an argument, their use is not necessarily ineffective. Politicians, journalists, even academics, at times, are subject to use fallacies to persuade an audience, often…

There comes a point in your life where you are faced with a situation and many others will have something to say about it or, argue with you about the situation. I never really experienced having a disagreement on something till I became a part of my high school dance team officer line. In my essay I will talk about how my experience as an officer is going so far and the different opinions as well as arguments I’ve encountered. When I go back in time to a few months ago, I remember hearing my…

Juror number three to me was very irrational with his thought process of convicting the boy of his guiltiness. I felt as though he thought the problems he had with his son were the same that this father and son had. Nonetheless this is not the case. The way he described he and his son’s relationship, made me believe that he was pushing his son into being someone that he wasn’t. The juror not only wanted his son to live in the same mindset as him, but he wanted his son to be him. However, it is…

Although Bonner and Faludi make similar arguments, the two would most likely clash if seated in a room together. They would respect each other's work for the most part but there are a few topics the pair would disagree upon entirely. For starters, Bonner could argue that Faludi does not console the right audience. He feels strong sympathy for the victims who were wrongly accused and tortured because of the extreme fear leaders had post September 11th. “A book could be written about the lives…

Hope-Focused Approach In choosing an approach, I took some time seriously considering the behavioral, strategic, and structural approaches that were used in formulating the HFA. My reasoning was that choosing HFA might seem to be too easy, since the course focused on this approach within both our textbook reading and discussion board writing. After researching each of these approaches and spending several days struggling to write a draft on the behavioral approach, I realized the HFA is the…

Critical thinking aspects includes decision-making and reasoning of the nurse’s problem-solving skills. There are many ways in which nursing students can learn to develop critical thinking skills.
