And this is what footballers get paid hundreds of thousands of pounds a week for! Ridiculous! Steven Gerrard reportedly earns £140,000 a week for kicking a ball around for ninety minutes. On the other hand a first class private earns just £14,000 a week for which they risk getting seriously hurt and probably traumatized for life and to support themselves and their families. Some footballers earn over 200 times what a soldier does!
Schindler was a tall and handsome man who was adored by all of the young women he met, and he adored them as well. Although he was married, Schindler left his wife in their home town to prosper as a businessman in Poland during the Second World War.

He says that it “makes all the difference in the world between success and failure.” When his wife questions what he is talking about, he responds “War.” So what made Oskar Schindler change from being merely an opportunistic greedy man, to a respectable hero?

Chaplin gives this speech as an actor but gives a message to people in real life then and now. Charlie Chaplin effectively displays pathos more than ethos and logos in this powerful speech.

Daniel Weintraub, in his article, "The battle against fast food begins in the home", states that parents are to blame for childhood obesity. The essence of Weintraub's argument is that it is the parents responsibility not the government, nor are the fast food companies bound to teach kids how to eat healthy and how to say active. He also mentioned results of statistics made on social economic status and gender, which shows that more kids are overweight due to fast food restaurants, supersizing and lack of exercise. Weintraub refutes these findings by emphasizing how parents are responsible for what their kids eat. As a result, his own recommendations include: limiting the consumption of sodas, junk food as well as avoiding a sedentary lifestyle.
