They state this to try to show how the Chinese refuse to assimilate. They are using this as proof to show how the Chinese are just too different from the US population and how they don’t respect our views and culture. Although I think it is fair to say the committee is doing the exact thing they
This rule is also broken when she uses the word gangrenous to describe flesh, instead of using a word that could create more imagery for the reader such as rotten or decomposed flesh, which is also easier to understand. The rule that states never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent means that you shouldn’t be using words that will not be easily understood by your readers. When Chow says “It would look innocuous enough, a
One point that Chua makes is that Eastern parenting is the correct method of parenting because they do not take the psyche or self esteem of the child into consideration during critique. Suicide Note by Janice Mirikitani is the farewell of a college student who committed suicide due to feeling inadequate. Eastern parenting techniques are psychologically damaging to their children and the parents are taking the risk of pushing them over the edge with the extreme pressure and expectations. Chua says in Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior that “Western parents are concerned about their children’s psyches. Chinese parents aren’t.
Gossiping should be avoided since news travel quickly and it can harm your reputation. Another rule to keep in mind is that one should resist the urge to ask his/her cube mate a question over the wall (Smith, page 11, 2006). It may seem very convenient to do that, but as a matter of fact it is impertinent and may be annoying to the people around your cube. It is also best to plan construction projects for after hours (Smith, page 11, 2006). The noise and fuss created when remodeling your cubicle can be very distracting to others.
Student Professor English 305 6 November 2009 I Say No To Hate Crime Laws Hate crimes are an irrational, ignorant and cowardly expression of desperation. A person who commits a hate crime is desperate to feel better, superior and in control. That being said, there should not be special laws and mandatory sentences for people who commit these heinous acts of violence because they do not accomplish the goals of eradicating or deterring bigotry. If we, as a society, put special laws and punishments into our legal system, we are unequivocally saying that the motive of these acts is more important than the intent or outcome of these crimes. I do not believe this is true nor do I feel that this is the position of the majority of people in
Buddhism was introduced to China through migrants and through trade, and it rapidly spread and several opinions about it sprung about. A large number of people were pro-Buddhism, while various others were completely against it. There were even certain individuals who just wanted unity and for Confucianism and Buddhism to coexist. As expressed in documents one and two, Buddhism is a good, new religion. The Four Noble Truths are spoken of in document one and they are said to help an adherent to steer clear of sorrow and suffering.
“Accepting the reality of our sinfulness means accepting our authentic self. Judas could not face his shadow; Peter could. The latter befriended the impostor within; the former raged against him.” (Brennan Manning). If someone cannot handle how society used to be in Huck Finn’s time, then they should not read the book instead of ruining it for the rest of the public. People like to criticize work that tells of historical events and does not provide authentic details, so Mark Twain would have been doing this novel an injustice by not including the N word in his book.
Readers should learn from this book that it is not okay to judge a person until you truly know them. It's unfair to tell someone that they cannot sit in the front of the bus or drink out of the same water fountain as another person. All people have color to their skin and people shouldn't judge others because of it. This book teaches the readers that killing an innocent person isn't right and that you need to have evidence before you harm someone. We still red this book today because it show what goes on when civilized people don't do things right And not to kill someone who is only there to help and not harm.
However, by presenting both sides of the argument one can understand the reasons why it shouldn’t be read and why it should be read. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, should not be read because of the racist, harsh, and critical language in the book. However, it should be read because it helps teach personal morals and judgments, as well as important themes like friendship or love. You can never “candy-coat” material to protect teens from reading such material. Sooner or later they will have to find out.
Making Agreements Doesn’t Work. If you ask your loved one to not do something ever again, or to remember to do something, it will soon be forgotten. For people in early stage dementia, leaving notes as reminders can sometimes help, but as the disease progresses, this will not work. Taking action, rearranging the environment, rather than talking and discussing, is usually a more successful approach. For example, getting a teakettle with an automatic “off” switch is better than warning someone of the dangers of leaving the stove on.
