For example, through the questioning and debating, we we able to surpass the limitations of Freire's "Banking Method" and make conclusions beyond what is found in just reading a piece of writing from a prominent author. The questions that we asked these authors allowed us to expand our knowledge and understanding of articles and novels leading to the construction of improved points of view that are formed not only from a single mind, but also from a collaboration from a multiple of
With this respect comes a stronger conscience as well as greater morals. Diving deep into ideas on how to earn the idea of respect really emphasized the solution to the whole problem association with young adults and the increase in problems with them. Metaphors can be a great way to simplify a complicated subject to enable a wider variety of audiences to understand it more thoroughly, which essentially leads to greater enjoyment of the reading. A great example of using a metaphor to allow the reader to understand better is when the author states “It is an island apart, striving to maintain itself in a sea of change.” (pg 391). This is referring to how the household is not connected with the outer world and is therefore isolated from any interactions.

How does David Crystal win over so much logic and emotion from his audience? Do the rhetorical tools that Crystal uses aid in his overall success of the argument? Crystal is the author of many books on language such as “The Gr8 Db8” which discusses text language and its impact on society. The author’s undermined approach is shown through historical context, statistics and pathos to effectively reveal the mass spread of English, and the potential impact it will have on the world. Crystal connects with the audience to make them realize that something as simple as the language we speak, could have more of an impact on the world than ever imaginable.
AMERICAN GOVT. WWW February 16, 2012 “Tocqueville and His Influences on Democracy in America” “A new political science is needed for a world altogether new,” Alexis Tocqueville famously proclaimed. His description of democracy in America as compared to the views of others could be described as the glass half empty. His writings show a passionate and tolerant concern for citizens to have equality than for freedom. He argued that the passion is a daily struggle for equality and that it has a greater hold than even the human heart can withstand.
Joe Thomas Professor Epperson REC 1000-06 November 24th, 2013 Are You Deciding On Purpose The article “Are You Deciding On Purpose” about the interview of author, speaker, and counselor Richard Leider really made me think about my life and what I want to do with myself. Leider brings up many great points in the interview and it was an eye opener for me after I finished reading the article.

Nowadays, there are so many career paths to choose from that it overwhelms people and the decisions that they make. I think this is true for everyone and especially me.
Many became work oriented, getting married later on. The American viewpoint is closely tied to this concept, Americans have also pushed marriage back, in order to complete an advanced education, and climb the corporate ladder, many feel that marriage would hold them back from those accomplishments. Another change from the Renaissance, and arguably the most notable change, was humanism. This was not the form of humanism that many today are familiar with, but it was an educational stance based on greek and Roman literature. The new form of learning inspired many philosophers such as Isaac Newton and artist like Leonardo da
Americans are now aware of the dangers of joining a group or an organization without full knowledge. They are researching and acquiring facts. There are now more respected sources to obtain information from and there are much easier ways to access them than it was in the past. Jonestown was and always will be the event that made Americans realize that they have to distinguish the real from the
Shirky starts by revealing the case about how our new technology has enabled amateurs to make a large number of average grade information and products, lowering our levels of what is considered acceptable. Shirky then provides horrid predictions of the future caused by the collapse of culture. He adds that these fears are actually true and have been around for a long period of time, proving this claim through historical references of the Guttenberg’s press and the Protestant reformation. Shirky shifts to focus on the importance of the innovations that occur after: the new norms are increasingly made the “intellectual output” of society. In the article Shirky establishes the point that we are now going through a similar growth in our publishing capability as we had in our past.
Learning to accept the opinions of others as well as well as accepting the differences we have will help to foster the climate of acceptance. Learning and knowing that if The creator of heaven and earth wanted all of us to be the same than he would have made us all that way, then we will have a greater appreciate for the work of art he crafted to make us different. Having a lot more history days instead of certain months to learn about certain races should be a start. We need to learn and educate on all the variety of cultures we have then we can at least start the cycle to have a “post racial”
