Ebony Foreman Deterrence American Corrections April 30, 2014 Deterrence relates to humiliation by humiliating a person for something they have done and keeping them from doing it again. It could also show others what would happen to them if they do the same thing, so it deters others from doing whatever it is they done. Ohio requires all first time DUI offenders to wear yellow license plates. Do I agree with this law? Yea I agree with this law because maybe they will be to humiliated to drive like that again.
Same goes for Tupac. In an interview he had when he was being accused in 1955 the interviewer read out loud what was recorded what Tupac said, “ I really don’t like police”. Tupac then explained how he meant corrupt police. He chose his words wisely because the conversation could have gone south if he didn’t answer the question the he way he did. This shows us that as oppressed people, choosing what to say, how to say it and when to say it is important and necessary to do if you want to get
Persuasive Writing The persuasive writing I am going to be writing about is “Teens falling into costly drugs trap” from the newspaper in Adelaide. The audience my persuasive writing is trying to talk to is a whole range on people. The people it is talking to are Teenagers, Young adults, Parents and Politicians.

The reporter for the newspaper who did this piece is telling us how politicians are not taking crime and drugs seriously.
Irene Joseph Professor Johnson ENGL 1301-219 January 31, 2012 Why Doesn’t GM Sell Crack? A Rhetorical Analysis of Moore’s “Why Doesn’t GM Sell Crack?” This text is an essay by Michael Moore entitled “Why Doesn’t GM Sell Crack?” It is taken from his political book Downsize This! published in 1996. This essay bought up a lot of radical thinking but at the same time, it helped the author get his point across. Moore persuades his audiences by saying as a society; we tend to forget what the outcome is when big corporations decide to fire workers because the CEO wants more for their salary.
I have concluded that substance abuse is a huge contributor to crimes being committed. The lack or decrease in moral intuition and character can cause a person to make bad decisions. This would cause people not to understand the benefits of to abiding to common social values. A person demographics can also play a role in determining whether or not an individual will turn to a life of crime. Government officials, politicians, and courts employees have concluded that individuals commit crimes for private alternatives and they should be punished and held responsible for their actions and conduct.
By displaying this collection of extensive research, the author hopes to communicate to the reader that the efforts of Halliburton are deleterious in a multitude of ways, and that its contract with the military needs to be stopped. Granted, with the help from Halliburton, the military enjoys some luxury of not having to directly provide essential needs for the soldiers. However, this book outlines the management corruption and overall excessive costs of contracting with Halliburton. Also in his book, Pratap Chatterjee discusses the relevance of the Global War on Terror and how it interrelates with the operations of Halliburton. In the last 20 years, Halliburton has been heavily involved in helping the military.
“Unsung Heroes” follows the same line of thought. It enumerates explicitly false heroes that are often found among former US presidents and military people. Zinn reminds us of the crimes each of them has committed. He suggests that these undue idols be taken off their pedestals and be replaced by real heroes, people who have sacrificed something to make a change, even if it was a small one. Being a war-opponent and social activist, Howard Zinn’s most likely intention in writing “Unsung Heroes” was to educate people about the mistakes (and deliberate lies) that are, in his opinion, very common in the perception of American history.
“He argues the ethics and politics towards the importance and support of the death penalty” The Allyn and Bacon Guide to writing said. This paper will expunge on how Koch uses shock tactics, fear and statistics to support his views effectively dissecting his voters` opponents towards capital punishment, he then concludes that capital punishment affirms the fact that life is precious by brining justice to the people who do not value the life of another. The introductory paragraph of his essay, demonstrates to us the readers structure that he is using by introducing and narrating 2 solid examples of cold blooded killers that were convicted with capital punishment. Take note that Koch begins his essay by narrating to readers about the execution of Robert Lee Willie, where Willie told his executioners that they were no better than him, if they continue the execution. Koch goes on to state Robert Lee Willie only then understood the sanctity of life.
King and Nafisi both bring very detailed imagery to the readers; they can then visualize the author’s problems. King’s goal was to bring to the attention of people that segregation is wrong and that the civil right movement was just. He incorporates imagery into his works so that he can appeal to the emotional aspect of the reader. King writes, “When you have seen vicious mobs lynch your
They witnessed wars, death, saw fear among people, and could see what attempts for superiority can do to a country. They were adults when WWII came to Europe and “Camus felt that it was urgent to critically examine these attitudes in a world in which calculated murder had become common” (Aronson, 2012). Living in such a hostile environment, the two men had found many problems and issues and they wanted to help make a change in the mindsets of all human beings as to the reality of life. Creative Processes When examining Albert Camus’s creative thought processes, it is clear to see that he felt his philosophical thinking of “absurdity” was best expressed through “lyrical essays and sketches” also by use of “images, metaphors, and anecdotes” (Aronson, 2012). One of his most famous works The Myth of Sisyphus is a wonderful example of how he developed characters in his writings to “become aware of the
