Topic Questions

1.	Economy- I am aware of all the economy concerns in the United States today, but what do the candidates expect to do about it. As of right now some states are considered in a recession. What is going to happen and how is the future president going to handle the defects? Unfortunately this something that is a tuff time in America right now. 2.	Education- I am fully aware of “ No Child Left behind” it was a law passes in 2002 to raise the bar for students in high school when it comes to standardize testing. With passing this law it was made harder to graduate from high school. More test were demanded and harder classes we entailed. My question is with keeping this law is the student population for high school graduates going to increase or decrease? 3.	Health Insurance- As a college student I know that I am expected to have health insurance. If they don’t go and pass the bill for everyone to have health insurance then how are people supposed to get insurance. So my question is how are people supposed to live and be “ healthy” if they cant see a doctor. How are kids supposed to be protected from germs if they don’t see a doctor?

Paper #1

The Web of Language

In the Oct 2007 article “WTF? Swearing at work is good for Business?” By Dennis Baron he talks about how swearing in public settings can be helpful as a stress reliever. Baron also talks about how vulgar language can create a sense of community and also can reinforce social relationships. It was a proven fact that women tend to swear more in the work place than men. Some tend to think that swearing is neither negative nor abusive. People that carry higher positions in the work force might let loose on those beneath them when they do curse. As for higher positioned people, they might benefit from letting a derogatory word go every now and then. Much to say the press is enjoying this nice little controversy topic. Hanannah’s Analyses. Awesome. I really think that every work place situation can use a little ummmop. If you step in to a quiet very stricken business office you cant tell me there isn’t one person that has cursed. For the fours years that I have worked I cant tell you how many times i've swore. I think it just comes natural. For me anyway. But then again I would think that if you would step into a work setting such as a store at the mall there would be cussing there to. I really don’t think that in any work place that one person hasn’t sworn at one point or another. A lot of times I think that our emotions tend to get the best of us. I know that when put in a situation where my aderaline is building up then all hell breaks loose. I think that as a teenager that we often do before we think. It’s a given that’s what happens. It can be one of those it sutaions that just goes with the flow of things. Baron’s logos process really appeals to my mind. He gives great support not only factual but also comical at the same time. “ It’s also likely that people have been swearing since the first caveman hit his thumb with the first hammer, because swearing provides an important emotional outlet, one which we will always need.” I think as far as applying to his audience Baron does a good job. In this particular piece he may not convince as many people as he had hoped but I think in the long run he did. I know there are a few people that it did. I love Baron’s character in this piece. I think it can show what type of type of writer he really is. He writes with a lot of sarcasm. Which can be good in a way if you don’t mind that type of thing but it can also be bad it really just depends on the person as well as the situatuon. For the most part I think this is a very well written article. Baron uses good grammar and nice citations. He supports his accusations with well thought out commentaries. All in all I gave him a well recommendation for this article. I feel that it’s a topic that some people know its happening they just don’t do anything about it. As the worlds changing and so is the topic of our nations actual language I think that people just really loose the sight of who we are. Swearing is something that is around us all the time. Some people think that it is a sin and other find that’s the only thing they know how to say. All in all I think it just makes up who we are.

PAPER #2 To read

Class or No Class

Have you ever found yourself judging someone by his or her appearance? Or perhaps they’re IQ? I know that I am defiantly a person that judges. I often wonder if maybe they don’t meet up to my expectations of what I think a person should be. But I also notice that I am one to think about what type of person they are. Do they care bout how they look, who they are friends with that type of thing and all I can say is im completely wrong? I really don’t think that you can judge a person on whom there are. But I think you can judge a person on what type of class they are, Class has so man different meanings. One could say class was your rank. How high up are you. Does it mean that if you’re of high-class people look up to you? In a high school setting are you the leader of the pack because you have the high class. Does that mean that you have the nicest things, drive the best car made? Honestly I don’t think. I think that in a high school setting it means that just because you have nice clothes and nice things doesn’t make you classy. I had nice things in high school and it didn’t make me a stuck up bitch like some of the other girls I went to high school with. To me having class is all about how you present yourself. You could be the poorest person in the entire world and still present yourself like you had all the money ever made. Being classy isn’t about what you have how much you have or what you’re going to get. It’s about making what you have the best you ever got. The dictionary states that classy means of high class, rank, or grade; stylish; admirably smart; elegant. . My very first though of classy is how well you present you, if you really think about the two words and compare their meanings there is no difference in this particular setting. Class means setting, room and high rank. Classy means wow the exact same thing. Once again to be classy isn’t about how much money you have or what rank you hold on a social ladder. It’s about how you present yourself in certain situations. The same with having class. Class means presenting yourself in mannerly fashion. If you went to a high-class restaurant that was like fifty dollars a plate your not going to act like you would if you were a rock concert. You would try to act as civil and contrary as possible. Needless to say drawing as little attention to you as possible. Your not going to walk into a job interview dressed in jeans and a sweatshirt hoping to and a CEO position. You would want your interviewers to think you were well mannered and had a great deal of respect. These are the key components to a highly classy person.

I can remember some papers ive written in the past. I think the paper i put the most emotion into was in sixth grade. We all had to write some type of relection paper on your life. It was something to do with an event that changed our life. I wrote about my grandpa. On my birthday that year he had a stroke. It started as something smal just a simple pain in his arm. As it got worse we figure that we needed to take him to the hospital. After a couple hours of doctors doing tests and things like that they came on told us he had a stroke. When i had to write this paper it was really nothing just a few factual points and some other words to make it flow. Everyone knew that this was a sore subject with me. It finally came to the day that we had to read our papers infront of the whole class. My class happened to be at the last class we had everyday. Well my grandpa and grandma found out what day i was reading my paper out loud. They showed up during my class and my grandpa brought me 12 roses to make up for my brithday. It was the most memerable day that ive had in my life so far. Because of that moment that is why my grandpa is so important to me. I think anyway that family is important. If you step back and think about everything that has happened your family is always there, at least thats how it is for me.

For the most part i feel like i can write to my readers attention. Key word most. Everyone struggles at some point with something to do with writting. Thing that i would prolly need to work on would be appealing more to my audenice. I feel like i can say what i want but im feel like i can be to aggresive with it. I hope thats something that i can work with this first paper and make it more persausive than aggresive. This is deffently something i hope to accomplish during english this semester.

What is a Brute

I defined a brute as an unemotional person that does not take responabilites of there actions. I think that in this debate both the doctor and the paitent both fit this defention. But however I think that the paitent fit it better. See the paitent had no remorse for how he was acting or even if he really cared. He doctor on the other hand knew that he was being unethical. See when you become any type of doctor they have to sign a code of ethics. If the black man would have came in and the doctor wold have refused treatment then he would have broke his code of ethics. I think that our debate basically went well. I think that the other side for the doctor agreed with us more than the argued for there own side. I know that the doctor had good points. I agree with sewing hes ears down exspecially if that was the only way they could keep him down. But my thing about the whole article was why as a doctor,would you want to refuse service to a patient. When we did our argument that side for the doctor disagreed when i said that you refuse treatment to a patient that is in need. That statement is in every doctors books across America. That was the one point that we were stuck on in the debate. Overall i think that debate was effective, because it makes you think about both sides of the sitauation but then i think its also easier to pick what side you stand for.

Journal # 3!!!!!!

In my last paper i wrote on the topic of class. I think that to be consider to have class persay is completely off. People think that by having class you have nice things drive nice cars things like that basically you are a Name shopper( thats what i call it) its not competly true. I think that the actual meaning of class/classy has went down the shitter. Its defineltly not the same as it used to be. I fear for my kids because i dont want them to go through what i saw when i was in high school. Having class has abousltly nothing to do with clothes having money that type of thing. Its mearly about how you prevent your slef in public.
