Miner makes subtle comedic reference to the classic stereotype of doctors having atrocious handwriting when he writes, "write them down in an ancient and secret language." He also describes shaving in a way that portrays the act as barbaric and self mutilating, "scraping and lacerating the surface of the face with a sharp instrument." Americans are seen by the author as private and secretive about their bodies and various bodily functions. He makes the observation that when they are in the "Latispoh" (Hospital) they are stripped of all dignity and control of their own bodies. Miner talks about how he finds it illogical for patients to completely trust thaumaturge when they have taken their privacy and may kill them with their treatment.
This is a problem that a lot of nig corporations face these days when being funded by investors or government agencies. There are cases from the past where government funds were given to an organization to use for training purposes. When funds are coming and going in an organization, un ethical people do not record all the necessary information to track the funds correctly, showing that there is more available that there actually is. When this happens, audits are necessary to find where the monies are missing from, eventually exposing the guilt parties so that they can be prosecuted for their
Those who consider it to be a negative term, mainly the average consumer, would define price gouging as taking advantage of or exploiting in times of need by charging unfair and unreasonable prices beyond normal. On the other hand, a business owner or an entrepreneur would define it as turning a profit on goods which have suddenly become much more expensive to obtain or produce because of increased demand possibly due to an emergency or sudden event. However, some free market economists reject the term altogether and suggest that “higher prices can be viewed as a valid system for rapidly distributing scarce resources to those who need the highly desirable resources and sets off an economic chain reaction that ultimately remedies the shortages” (Price gouging, 09). Over thirty of the states in America have anti-gouging laws but the definition of price gouging vary from “excessive and unjustified” price increases or “unconscionable pricing”, to percentages amounts of previous prices, to “unjust or unreasonable profits in the sale of necessities” (Antitrust - Fuel and Energy Committee, 06). So price gauging may not be easily defined but it does mean something to those it affects.
As a result, the deeper biases reflected in sensationalism often leave citizens confused about issues which forces them to deconstruct this alternately managed and frenzied news in order to make sound judgements about their society and government. Without question, money necessitates an effective campaign and election, and a lot of it. The amount of money that can be raised and spent dominates and facilitates campaigns and elections. Affirmative advantages of possessing an abundance of money can enable an otherwise unknown candidate heard and seen. Money buys name recognition and organizational support, hence the reason that so much money is spent by candidates and their parties on media related campaigning.
They have been wronged by being overshadowed by the white man’s inaccurate account of events. From what we can understand about their customs, we should respect the indigenous population of America. American Indians were more logical than the white men who came over to the “new world.” Ortiz points out the hypocrisy of the white men for regarding the natives “as without any laws or government” when the white men themselves were “people who ignored their own laws and governments” (Ortiz
After reading and getting a sense or idea of what wilding is, things made more sense. I do believe that the idea of wilding can make people go crazy or obsess about their greed and the only thing stopping us all from wilding is not understanding what wilding is. I also believe that people would rather take shortcuts to being wealthy other than working hard and earning it. Like what Derber said, “Many signs point to a corruption of the American Dream in out time. Most Americans do not become killers to make it up the ladder or to hold on to what hey have, but the traditional restraints on naked self-aggrandizement seem weaker-and the insatiability greater” (Derber, p. 14).
To answer the second part of the question, no, religious arguments do not hold water for nonbelievers. However, the numerous necessary evils in society include majority rule and minority
Authenticity “Authenticity” is a difficult concept to put into words in the music realm because it is not clearly defined. There are so many different ideas about authenticity that we are forced to wonder if it actually exists and if so what is it, exactly. There is a widely used quote that says, “There is nothing new under the sun.” This quote applies directly to how music is made and passed down over time. There is no musician that is completely authentic. “Authenticity” is simply an idea created by society that no musical artist has achieved, artist give their own take on what is happening around them and in the world in general.
Yes, texts and work manuals contain information by and about people like me. They also represent people who are different from me, though I do not feel they are often written by people who are different from me. For example, take our history books, they discuss the Native Americans, Spanish, Europeans, and other nations, however; who tells these stories? White Americans, none of our text in our history books is written from their point of view. History books have always been a one sided story, and I for one would like to see that changed.
It eventually was written down, which is why you're able to read it in a book now, but it wasn't written down first. For example, Paul Bunyan reads like a folk tale and has many folk tale elements in it, but it is not a true folk tale because it was a written story to begin with and not something passed down through the generations orally. Folk tales are instructive. They caution readers/listeners about the consequences of certain kinds of behaviors or attitudes.
