Later, though, after the student has cheated, there is a sense of ease and resolution to the situation, and this weakens her argument, making the issue of cheating seem almost irrelevant or benign. The reader also notices Wenke’s use of the personal pronoun “you” throughout the scenario in the first paragraph, suggesting that she is aiming the argument at high school and college students. It’s evident that the tone of this piece shifts, but the author begins with a quizzical tone and asks many questions throughout her argument. “If my parents’ generation had such high morals and wouldn’t cheat, wouldn’t they teach their children the same?” (Wenke, Page 1) She then moves to a more contemplative tone in the latter part of the piece, explaining the possible effects of cheating on our society today. She points out that “this attitude will not stop in the classroom, but will carry on into the business world… [the students who cheat] are in turn the ones who will
Wiener points out about his stress. “I have stress. But there are some situations we can’t control. You can’t change things outside of yourself, so you can change your attitude (235).” This is a perfect example of why we need to choose a power greater than ourselves. We don’t have control of everything in our lives like we thought we did when we were using.
They sometimes laugh at me for knowing certain songs that they would never expect for me to like. Music in my opinion is art for the ears it’s not always pretty and doesn’t always make since but still has a beauty of its own. Explain how American culture and
Vanilla, peanut butter, and caramel flavors would resonate well with people who do not like Nutella. It is a very rare occurrence when somebody does not like at least one of these flavors. We will change the label as well to appeal to people with a “winning” attitude by adding stars to the label as well as changing the colors. Advertising these new changes by
English 8-5 22 November 2013 Conformity over Individuality In life many people try to change who you are. There are two ways to take this, conforming or being individual. I believe that conformity is better than individuality for a few reasons. These reasons include, others have more experience, we do not know everything about life, and conformity is needed to be successful. No matter who you are or where you may be, there is always someone with more experience who knows better.
Sometimes people face a choice; to act, or not to act. “Do any actions you must do, since action is better than inaction; even the existence of your body depends on necessary actions.” (63). In this quote from the Bhagavad Gita, the author stresses that it is better to react to a certain situation than to do nothing. To keep yourself alive, you have to take action to take care of yourself or else your body will die. The author probably wanted to explain how important it is to be active in difficult circumstances where it becomes a choice.
Shantel Labon PSY 160 February 10th 2012 When I first read this assignment, I was like how does she want me to go back to conception leading to my current age? I don’t remember when I was a baby. Well, I am an only child and I will admit that I’m very spoiled and I always want things my way. Until a few years ago I was a very irresponsible person , leaving my kids with my mom all the time, spending down to my last dime, getting my self into all kinds of debt, and just not being thoughtful of the people who cared about me, all because I knew I had mommy and daddy to back me up. Don’t get me wrong I’ve always worked hard, but I’ve made some very unwise choices in my life.
As usual, outcomes are always extremely important. I cannot stand my mistakes affecting other people, especially the ones I care. Therefore not only would I consider my principle, I would go through all the possible outcomes turned from my actions. Maybe you would think my process is not so simple after all, but I can assure you as long as you have made your mind set, it is a straight road towards making a reasonable ethical decision. Like everyone else, I really don't want any one of my decisions to be wrong.
Pressures on Students Today In his essay “College Pressures” William Zinsser exposes the pressures that college students faced at Yale University in the 1970s. He categorizes the pressures into four types: economic pressure, parental pressure, peer pressure, and self-induced pressure. He also explains how these pressures impact the students in a bad way, causing them to narrow down their minds into one small path rather than finding their true interests. His intention isn’t only to understand these pressures, but to show how unnecessary they are. Also, his true intention is for students to explore themselves and find their true interests instead of aiming for well paying jobs.
Instead of filling ourselves with God, we are filling ourselves with temporary satisfactions because those things give us immediate pleasure. The road to gaining access to the zone is a long and hard one so many people will give up, rather then endure it. If one is to endure the long, hard road, they will be blessed when they do experience the zone of the sacred. I believe that gaining access to the “center” is difficult, but if it were easy everyone would do it. If everyone had access to the zone of sacred, I don’t believe it would be
