Smith uses this repetition for emphasis on most every facet of her argument. In her concluding paragraph Smith says “As an American, I condemn a Republican Fascist just as much as I condemn a Democrat Communist. I condemn a Democrat Fascist just as much as I condemn a Republican Communist. They are equally dangerous to you and me and to our country. As an American, I want to see our nation recapture the strength and unity it once had…” The repetition of the phrase “I condemn…” puts emphasis on the fact that she too is against the ideas of Communism and Fascism, but reminds the audience that she sees a different approach to getting rid of them.
p.131). Therefore, this hurrying atmosphere is increasing hindering our children by not allowing them to experience childhood. Parents are hurrying their children by insisting they acquire early academic skills. Parents unwittingly also hurry their children by expecting kids behave as adults when dealing with stressful situations such as divorce, or parents who have bad coping skills, living in poverty, moving, or changing schools. Elkind brings the attention to the way schools have changed kindergarten to the new first grade where they are being tested, taught with workbooks, given homework, and take home a report card.
News reports called White's defense the "Twinkie defense," but in reality, Twinkies were barely even mentioned at trial. White was eventually acquitted of murder, though he didn't entirely escape justice. While Hostess snack cakes were indeed part of the evidence, they weren't used in the way people think. During the trial, White's lawyers asserted their client's "diminished capacity" as a reason why Milk and Moscone's homicides technically weren't murder. Under the law, murder requires a killing to be both intentional and either planned or committed when the killer was in his right mind.
Kozol addresses his readers so that they may spread awareness on illiteracy and eventually resolve the problem. Questions: 1. These explanations confuse the effects of illiteracy with the causes by saying that laziness is the cause of illiteracy, when in reality illiteracy is the cause of innovativeness, that an illiterate has to adopt, that is seen as laziness and stupidity. Kozol refutes these stereotypes with his examples of just how much illiteracy affects a person showing that they become almost immobilized and isolated by it. In his opinion the nation and it's leaders are at fault for not addressing this problem.
Eunice Lee Mrs. Lang English 9 Honors A Block 12 April 2012 A World Without Empathy Is Hardly A World At All A world without empathy creates a society that does not have compassion for its own members nor a sense of equality. The novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee takes place in the 1930s which is a difficult yet important time period in American history not because of the racism and prejudice but because it also marks the beginning of many changes in American history. The story is a retelling of Jean Louise Finch’s, or Scout’s, childhood and the mayhem that a court case in the 1930s causes a southern town The characters Scout and Jem Finch learn many lessons throughout the novel, many due to the teachings of their father, Atticus Finch, one of the main lessons being learned is empathy. It is essential for one to have empathy because it aids in the creation of a foundation of equality in society and also contributes to the ending of prejudice and discrimination in the community; therefore one should not allow society’s biases to influence their own but take a stand for his/her beliefs. Harper Lee conveys the message that empathy is essential for a clear foundation of equality develop in society through the characterization of Atticus Finch.
Flaws and Fallacies In Mark Twain’s essay, “The Damned Human Race,” many flaws appear within his abundant use of analogies. One flaw stems from his use of Hasty Generalization. Twain supports this by writing that “the earl wantonly destroys what he has no use for…” which, according to Twain suggests “..that the earl was descended from the anaconda.” (Twain 28). This is a Hasty Generalization, for Twain is basing his conclusion on one result that does not represent the whole population. Since his argument is based on a common fallacy, his essay appears unreasonable and flawed.
In 15 states there are laws in place that make “Cyberbullying” a crime and there is currently a push in Washington D.C. to make it a felony.

“Understanding the causes of Child Obesity is paramount to its productive treatment” CDS (2012). The research I have found to date is showing signs of slowing the trend. I have found that to combat the cause we need to educate parents, teachers and physicians on the importance of stopping obesity before it is a problem. This includes spotting the issues early so it can be turned around and fixed early, rather than wait till the child is obese. As a whole it is all of our responsibility to fight against this epidemic so that we can win the war for our children’s health.
