“Thats right, It’s none of their business, that stuff” (178, Medicine River). Bertha is independent and assertive, and makes a point to others about her non-traditional beliefs that physical attributes do not define a person, or deem men as “attractive”. This may not seem very independent to the reader, but in the story, Bertha appears independent from other characters because of her non-traditional beliefs. Like Bertha, Will’s mother, Rose is independent and very self-reliant, as she had raised two boys on her own in a time where women tend to be deemed only to be housewives and caretakers. She had been receiving letters from her ex-husband saying "How are you and the boys?
In a sense, since members of society develop life-threatening diseases, we as humans drive the research and development of a cure. We drive technology forward because we know that if we don’t, diseases like HIV will continue to take the lives of our loved ones. The play RENT echoed this message. The lighting and sound were
Topic of interest – Ebola virus disease (EVD) As the media coverage around the Ebola virus has gone into overdrive I thought it would be a great topic to focus on to assess the credibility and quality of informational and social sources. To demonstrate this I will look at two informational and two social sources and apply the critical evaluation skills from Metzger’s article (Miriam J Metzger. 2007) to evaluate the accuracy, authority, objectivity, currency and coverage of these sources. In addition to this, the plethora of current information available on the topic has provided me with a good opportunity to assess various formats of sources (i.e. videos, statistics, forums, fact sheets, etc.)
As an experienced writer, Reilly has done his research on the topic that he is trying to convince his readers to support. The facts that he uses are placed perfectly making any reader gasp about the amount of fatalities because of malaria. He uses credible sources such as the World Health Organization (Glau, Maid, Roen 465) to back up his facts and makes the reader trust that he knows what he is talking about. Reilly also integrates quotes in his article to show that he is not the only person that is aware of the problem occurring. By using outside sources, Reilly increases his credibility as a writer because it is not just his opinion or facts that he could be making up.
National Kidney Foundation stated, “Over 95,000 U.S. patients are currently waiting for an organ transplant; nearly 4,000 new patients are added to the waiting list each month.” On the other hand, there is valid argument regarding convicted felons should receive organ transplants . This controversy is not new. Organ transplantation has
The speech was had an astonishing impact and was broadcasted all over the world with many politicians impressed and countless women appreciative of Gillard’s powerful words. The delivery of the speech was skillfully arranged, from the Prime Ministers body language, which was very impassioned, to Gillard’s intentional ever-changing eye stare. Gillard’s emphasis on the word “misogynist” and “sexism” which were used numerous times throughout the speech possibly for a shock reaction to the public can also been seen as eliminating the true significance as it could loose the impact it originally
A Whisper of AIDS The reality of AIDS is brutally clear to those who are infected, but to those who are not it always seems like a distant whisper. Living with AIDS is not easy nor is it something the world should take likely but it does. Each year 63,000 Americans are newly infected with the virus but mainly people from the ages of 18 through 25. A white, mother named Mary Fisher used her courage and compassion to tell the world her story. In this essay I analyze the rhetorical situation of “A Whisper of AIDS” article and her use of pathos, logos and ethos appeal.
The media has helped to remold our social world. Just the other day I saw it on TV where they promoting homosexuality in a more pleasant way and tone, I strongly believe that mass media plays a huge role in the socialization process. The three major agents of socialization in the U.S. today are our families, peers, and the mass media (Henslin, 2010) but I can say mass media is the leading agents among the three. Even the News caster will only cast the information that will catch the people’s attention. They will choose to broadcast the War on terrorism, the trial of Dr Conrad Murray, or the violence going on within the society.
Researching to Prevent the Spread of Cancer Every year, an average of over 500,000 Americans die from cancer, and an average of 1.5 million new cancer cases will be reported (Dunham). Cancer is an ailment in which cells uncontrollably multiply, destroying healthy tissue during its progression. Dedicated to the prevention of cancer through research, The American Cancer Society, or A.C.S., is a international, community-based, volunteer association. Personnel includes various specialists, including doctors, nurses, and technicians along with over 2 million other volunteers (“Company History”). During its lifespan, the American Cancer Society has become one of the largest not-for-profit cancer research fund provider, beaten only by the United
