Working on an article is a privilege not a right, but I do believe that it wasn’t right when the editors didn’t think they had a chance. I also think that the editors did not encourage them because when Woodward and Bernstein had some of their articles published, no other journalist were re-printing their story. They became worried, and wanted to drop the story, thinking that if Woodward and Bernstein continued it, it would get nowhere. I think the story of Watergate was scandalous. It was an American Political scandal and a conflict in the 1970’s and also led to the resignation of president Nixon.
After the great leaders, including the President of the United States, tried to teach Smurch the correct manners for an interview, Smurch just mocked them and insisted on getting money for his great feat. Falling from the window was made to look like an accident. The fall from the window is symbolic in that Smurch was detested by those who truly knew him a person. He was not heroic in their eyes. The symbolism is that you have to know how to act to be considered great and heroic.
In these court hearings, some very embarrassing and damaging things had been exposed about Zuckerberg. Simply, the humble and nerdy computer programmer had not been so innocent and forthcoming as the reader was initially led to believe. Some AIM passages were quoted in the article, showing the reader a very compelling argument against the supposedly good character of Mark Zuckerberg. The author is unsympathetic towards Zuckerberg when he comments about the new Facebook movie that was soon to be released at the time. Vargas writes, “The movie is a scathing portrait, and the image of an unsmiling, insecure, and sexed-up young man will be hard to overcome.” This unrelenting image painted of Zuckerberg is not what he chose yet was forced upon him anyway, unlike every minutely controlled detail of a Facebook profile.
Mid-Term Exam A high-tech heretic is a person who has been officially accused by his beliefs for technological and human development as following a false doctrine. That is what they refer to Clifford Stoll as and he is not that at all. I agree with Clifford Stoll on the idea that computers should not be used in the classroom because the students aren’t receiving and gaining the knowledge that they should be receiving. His view on the issue that computers are not good in the class room is a different one, but very true indeed. He uses several examples to explain his theory.
This portrays Wowser’s bitter view on younger drivers and positions the audience to think all young people are irresponsible and ineligible to be driving on our roads. This causes apprehension and fear for safety in readers. The appeal to common sense is used as the author writes ‘in the business world,
In 1970, the Watergate scandal introduced the struggle between the executive branch and the legislative branch.There had been commotion over illegal activities committed by Republican President Nixon and his staff which was kept secret from Congress. After years of investigation, Nixon was found guilty. This highly unpopular scandal led to the resignation of Nixon. In the cartoon, President Richard Nixon and Senator Sam Ervin are shown arm wrestling which portrays the battle over the president’s right of executive privilege. The cartoonist is trying to make a point that the executive power and congress are having a struggle or fight whether the president should have the authority to keep certain information secret from the other branch of
Student Name Professor Name ENG 106 WB 29 Jan. 2013 “2b or Not 2b” In the article “2b or Not 2b,” David Crystal discusses how others such as John Humphry argue that texters are “…vandals who are doing out language what Genghis Khan did to his neighbors 800 years ago. They are destroying it” (Crystal 335). Crystal also argues that when printing came about it people thought of it as the work of the devil. People believed that printing would put false opinions into people’s minds. When other inventions came about, such as the telegraph, telephone, and broadcasting it scared people and they felt that they would have negative consequences for the English language.
Wal-Mart agreed to pay $81 million and $27.6 million to settle allegations (O’Donnell 1). Wal-Mart has killed unionization efforts (Armour 1). When people went on strike to improve working conditions and worked for Wal-Mart, Wal-Mart would threatened to fire them. Worse yet as the National Labor Relations Board confirmed, Wal-Mart has systematically and retailed against workers who have had the courage to stand up to improve working conditions (Rizzuto 1). These examples of how Wal-Mart is bad but still gets business shows how powerful they are and they can hurt America more in the
I’m one of them. (Sullivan, 425)” This is in reference to the name he gave to the iPod people; “iPeople” Sullivan is criticizing the iPod and the effects it is having on people, but at the same time he is constantly using his own iPod. This makes Sullivan look like a hypocrite and decreases his trustworthiness. He also compares the iPeople to a cult. The cult’s church is the Apple Store, and the priests are
stated in the First Amendment. (McElroy, 2010) T.V. companies such as Direct TV and Dish make me think of this issue. Both company with trash each other over advertisement and persuade people to dump their TV provider and go to them. Both companies are not real people so they shouldn’t have the right to say why there company is better that’s ridiculous.
