Internatıonal Earth Day and Planting TreesEven though it might doesn't sound like the most the most environmental friendly thing to do, my idea is to make posters with some catchy messages regarding putting paper with paper, plastic with plastic etc. Yes, we should avoid waste of paper, but since we will use it for a good cause, I think it is justified. Since most people are visualists, including me, if we make a good and creative poster with an interesting, catchy message that still captures the essence of our idea, I am sure it will catch their eye and hopefully lay somewhere in their consciousness so they will not throw trash everywhere just for the sake of it. We could put this on the main doors of both buildings A and B and also cafeteria doors, since these places have the highest traffic. Maybe we could use recycled paper specially for this, to give it even a better effect. The chances a |

Diamond Grill RacismHalf Swedish, quarter Chinese, 1/8 Irish and 1/8 Scottish. This is Fred Jr Wah, the author of Diamond Grill. At the page 53 in the book, he mentioned that when he entered the elementary school, there was a form needed to be filled, and one of the empty block named as 'Racial original', and he wrote Canadian. The teacher, however, told him that he should be Chinese, and Canadian was not a racial identity, which made him confused. Racism is a concept that never works because it causes discrimination; for instance, according to the Diamond Grill, Chinese people were at the bottom of the Canadian society in the past several decades；also, it has profound negative influence on the freedom of making choices. Racism always causes discrimination to some races. In Diamond Grill, Fred talks about his family history at the time near the first World War, a pe |

Combat Sports as a Crime Reduction ToolAbstract The aim of this paper is to evaluate whether combat sport has an impact on participants' criminality, and if so, whether combat sport is appropriate for use in offender treatment programs and crime reduction strategies. Based on the findings, it is argue that participation in combat sports can distance individuals from nonstructural risk factors in behavioral, community/social and economic spheres. Detachment from risks in these areas makes combat sport potentially appropriate for use within interventions aimed at: violent offenders; those who offend in groups; emotionally impulsive offenders; and as a moderator of antisocial behavior. However, further research is required to understand fully the impact of such interventions. Combat Sports as a Crime Reduction Tool This paper focuses on sports, which surround a regular and unavoidable engagement in interpersonal violence, aggression and contact, like in combat sports. This pushes the focus to an extreme end of the sports spec |

Analysis of A Tale of Two CitiesSydney Carton is the character that undergoes the most significant character development in A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. This development is key to understanding who he truly is, because that is something that is very difficult to see at the beginning of the novel. As he transforms through the story, you see that the person he appeared to be at the beginning of the novel was not who he truly was. My interpretation of Dickens characterization of Sydney Carton is that he is truly the better man. Not only did he make a promise to give his life in place of somebody that Lucie loved, he kept the promise. Sydney Cartons's character symbolizes that there is more to every person than meets the eye and is miraculously developed from a man who feels like he has nobody who cares about him, into a man who is willing to die to keep a promise he made to the woman he loved, eventually making him a better man than Charles. At the beginning of the novel, Sydney Carton seemed like an untru |

Arisotle and the Book I of Nicomachean EthicsIn the 1st Book of Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle began an argument by stating "But presumably the remark that the best good is happiness is apparently something [generally] agreed, and we still need a clearer statement of what the best good is. Perhaps, then, we shall find this if we first grasp the function of a human being" (1097b22-25). For Aristotle's Closing statement he said "And so the human good [happiness] proves to be activity of the soul in accord with virtue, and indeed with the best and most complete virtue, if there are more virtues than one". This statement was written over 1000 years ago in a language now considered dead in the modern day. Therefore for the duration of this paper I will attempt to explain and elaborate on what Aristotle is trying to say. In Aristotle's opening statement he is saying that happiness is the best good there is, which was an idea that was universally agreed by everyone, although with the invention of material goods, there has been debate about the legitimacy of this statement. To give a better viewpoint on his statement Aristotle gave examples of what in his day constituted a |

The Founding Fathers: A Reform Caucus in ActionThe United States Constitution and The Federalist Papers influenced United States history. "The Founding Fathers: A Reform Caucus in Action" by John Roche and "The Constitution as an Elitest Document" by Michael Parenti are Constitutional debates that influenced American History and The Power Elite by C. Wright Mills and "Pluralist Democracy in the United States by Robert Dahl influenced the United States in some way, shape, or form. The Federalist Papers were written in 1787 and 1788 and were published in several newspapers in New York. The purpose of the Federalist Papers was to persuade New Yorkers to vote for the proposed constitution. The Federalist Papers are described as "a collection of essays written in favor of the new constitution." Most people believe that some of the authors include James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay. These men were influential in the history of the United States. James Madison was the main author of the Cons |

Coal Mining and the EnvironmentThe coal industry has given rise to many environmental issues such as adverse effects on the air, land and water quality of the surrounding areas of the mines and continues to affect global environment as a whole. The damaging effects coal burning on the environment causes many premature deaths worldwide. In 1999 World Health Organization reported that deaths caused by fossil fuels emissions caused 3 million premature deaths, about 8000 per day. With modern industrialization the demand for energy is rapidly increasing, and coal being a cheap method continues to be the leading electricity-generating source having a share of 40.6% according to International Energy Agency report released in 2012. China is the main producer of coal having 45.9% of the total coal production share in the world (International Energy Agency, 2012 report, pp 14). Thus it is clear that China would have the biggest impact on the environment due to its large scale coal production. Bian et al in their paper say th |

The Pro-Life and Pro-Choice ControversyAbortion has been and still remains one of the most debated controversial issues. Both, the pro-life and pro-choice group, have powerful and challenging arguments for and against abortion, which gives us reason to believe that not only one side or argument is correct. The issue is one that questions a person's morality and ethics. The pro-choice group emphasizes that one should have the right to choose whether or not she would like to bring the fetus to term. It is solely her responsibility to decide whether or not she would like or not like to be a mother. People who believe in this idea believe that a woman has the right to control her own body. On the contrary, pro-life believers emphasize the argument of preserving human life since conception at any cost. They believe that once conceived, absolute priority is and should be given to the fetus over the mother. Destroying a human being is considered a murder and is unethical. The way one perceives the fetus has great impact on wheth |

Gender is Not a Biological FunctionUp until the last few decades, a person's gender was defined by "the state of being male or female" (Webster). Even in the cases such as hermaphrodites there was no distinction a sex was chosen and so therefore that child became one sex or the other (Britannica). Butler defines gender "an identity instituted through a stylized repetition of acts"--a performance from which social constructs are formed (Butler). A person's identity should not be defined by their biological sex but rather by what they choose to be. However this idea is not a readily accepted by mainstream society. Butler believes that gender is not a conscious choice and "neither is it imposed or inscribed upon the individual, as some post-structuralist displacements of the subject would content". Many consider the idea of choosing a gender or not identifying to a specific type goes against their belief system. Additionally others find that there has to be some base line to determine what we are and ar |

Representatives of Democracy"When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to separation" (Jefferson, Franklin, Sherman, Adams, Livingston, 1776). The basic morals of a strong democracy is equal rights and freedom of speech. You can't have a "democracy" if these morals aren't shown through the representative(s) of that democracy. More than likely, if those two characteristics aren't heart-felt by the citizens of that democracy, there's |

The Sarbanes-Oxley ActAbstract U.S congressman Paul Sarbanes and Representative Michael Oxley are the architects of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). Introduced in July 2002, caused a major change in corporate governance and in the financial areas of business in U.S exchange. Previous to this act, many businesses were involved or associated with extortion, leading to the act that will attempt to re-gaining the confidence of investors The Sarbanes-Oxley Act "Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002" (in the Senate) and also called "Corporate and Auditing Accountability and Responsibility Act" (in the House), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act was approved by the House by a vote of 334 to 90 and also approved by the Senate 99-0, signed in July 30th 2002 by President George W.

A Missions Trip to MexicoI was sitting in the traveling minivan for hours, staring outside and listening to the excited conversations between the people in the car, when all activity came to a halt. Confused, I looked outside and noticed things had changed. An hour ago we passed the "happiest place on Earth," Disneyland, and thirty minutes ago we passed by the beautiful San Diego waters, but now all we could see was dirt and men with huge machine guns and cold stares. We had passed the border into Mexico. In the summer of 2014, I went on a week-long mission trip called AMOR to Tijuana, Mexico with my church to build a house for a less-fortunate family. As my compassion has always been strong, I was always itching to step outside my comfort zone to help families and individuals that didn't have the privileges I had. Although I knew no one there and knew nothing about missions, with nervousness and excitement I embarked into the pitch black cave that was going to spark a change in my view of people. A |

Tradition in The Lottery"The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson is a deceptively simple story about a small town community that holds an annual lottery. Naturally, what makes the plot less simple is the way the story ends with one of the townspeople being stoned as a result of "winning" the lottery. A deeper look at the story reveals that the story is about tradition. Although tradition is often considered to be something positive, in "The Lottery," tradition is something undesirable and even deadly. Jackson uses imagery and symbolism to show that unquestioning adherence to tradition can be dangerous. The black box, perhaps the most ominous of Jackson's symbols, reveals the villagers' unquestioning attitude towards the tradition of the lottery. She describes the box as "growing shabbier every year" (565), showing that many years has passed since the lottery's initiation. The box is also "splintered badly along one side to show the original wood color, and in some places |

The Sudan and South Sudan ConflictThe Sudan and South Sudan conflict The two sided armed conflict between Sudan and South Sudan in March 2012 was a critical event in the history of central Africa. The consequent Political fallout followed by a proclamation of independence of South Sudan and its official recognition as a sovereign state caused difficulties in establishing a boundary between two countries. Both states advocated the common ownership over oil rich regions between North and South which aggravated into a civil war. The first conflict erupted in 1955 and ended in 1972 when Addis Ababa peace agreement was signed. However, in 1983 when Sudanese government cancelled South Sudan's autonomy arrangements, South people rose against Sudanese government and the second civil war took place.1 This paper will examine the causes of the South Sudan and Sudan conflict, followed by analysis of the resolutions to the conflict and detailed examinations of possible solutions. Causes There are a numbers of contributing facto |

Goals and Objectives of BuddhismIntroduction Field visits to religious groups empower us to find out about religious conventions in a logical manner through the viewpoint of lived religious experience. They additionally enable us to assemble associations with individuals of the groups we visit. Reasons for Religious Visits Finding out specific religious groups through direct perception of their accumulated life, either in their consistently planned times of love or their uncommon occasions, festivals or celebrations. To have the capacity to place every specific group in the more extensive connection of the religious convention of which it is a part. To develop our comprehension of religion by conveying to our perceptions a typical arrangement of inquiries regarding structural engineering and the making of hallowed space; the visual and verbal images of the group; the part of what we call "scripture" in the group; the manifestations of religious practice that may be called "custom," the parts of religious pioneers a |

Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa LahiriCommunication is one of the most important factors in a relationship and the main theme in this story. Communication has the ability to make a relationship more stable. In most of her work Jhumpa Lahiri shows the length people go to in order to maintain a relationship. Lahiri focusses on relationship problems and the importance of communication. In Jhumpa Lahiri's "Interpreter of Maladies," all characters communicate with the outcome of having a positive or negative outcome in their relationship. From the children misbehaving to Mrs. Das keeping secrets that could make or break a relationship. Interpreter of Maladies takes place in India and is told from Mr. Kapasi's perception. Jhumpa Lahiri shows how communication can be the success or failure of a relationship. Mr. Kapasi, who is the tour guide for the das family has lived a life full of disappointment. His whole life was turned around. He went from being fluent in many languages to working as a doctor's interpreter. The interpreter of maladies himself, Mr. Kapasi lacks communication in his lovele |

Critical Analysis of The OctoroonThe Octoroon, only considered second amongst antebellum melodramas, is a play written by Irish author Dion Boucicaut. The play focuses on the Plantation Terrebonne, the Peyton estate and its residents, namely it's slaves. During the time of its premiere, The Octoroon, inspired conversations about the abolition of slavery as well as the overall mistreatment of the African Americans. Derived from the Spanish language, the word 'octoroon' is defined as one who is 1/8th black. Zoe Peyton, "The Octoroon", is the supposedly "freed" biological daughter of Judge Peyton, former owner of the plantation. In play, the lovers, Zoe and the judge's prodigal nephew, George Peyton, are thwarted in their quest by race and the the evil maneuverings of a material-obsessed overseer named Jacob M'Closky. M'Closky wants Zoe and Terrebonne, and schemes to buy both. Boucicault's play focuses on the denial of liberty, identity, and dignity, while ironically preserving common African-Am |

Emergence of the Metrosexual ManMy paper will attempt to analyse the term metrosexual taking into account possible reasons for its emergence and its various manifestations in today's world. The metrosexual man seems to have become the 'other' of the supposedly normal, stoic, self-denying, modest, 'straight' male. He is far more interested in his image and is comfortable being seen as less certain of his masculine identity. Within this context, I will also look at the concept of the metrosexual in relation to fairly widely held images or conceptions of the 'gay' male. Metrosexuality is a term which is generally applied to heterosexual men with a strong concern for their appearance or whose lifestyles display the exploration of their own selves in a so-called feminine manner. The term originated in an article by Mark Simpson published on November 15, 1994, in The Independent. Simpson wrote, "Metrosexual man. The single young man with a high disposable income, living or working in the city (becau |

Overview of the New York KnicksExpectations are hard to live up to. Just ask Anthony Bennett. Or the Brooklyn Nets. Or the New York Knicks. While the East is having a historic down year compared to their Western counterpart, no one believed that the Knicks would be apart of that. When you take a look at the bottom three teams in the east, the expected teams are down there. The Bucks are sitting in the basement at 5 and 17 and without Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings anymore, they can't score (89 ppg). The 76ers, who started out hot, are now cooled off and down in the basement also. Michael Carter Williams is out with a knee problem and while they score at a pretty efficient rate (101 ppg), they can't play defense to save their lives (109 ppg allowed). Then there are the New York Knicks. It is tough to completely scold the Knicks for how terrible they are for 2 reasons. 1: No Tyson Chandler. Without him they start Kenyon Martin at the 4 along with Bargnani at the 5 which is a mismatch waiting to happen to whoever B |

Knowledge - David Hume and Immanuel KantDavid Hume like many thinkers of British Empiricism believed that knowledge comes from sense perception. Unlike other thinkers of this time such as Locke and Berkely who believed that knowledge can go beyond sense perception Hume believed that knowledge is limited to sense experience. Immanuel Kant attempts to answer Hume's critic of knowledge and adjust it. Hume argues that it is impossible to know something fully because it is impossible to know the cause upon which it depends. Kant attempts to go against this with his A priori (from the earlier) and A posteriori (from the later) theories, specifically "synthetic A priori." Synthetic knowledge is something that has happened to you and analytic knowledge is something you have witn |

Ménière's Disease and the Inner EarMénière's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that causes vertig, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), sensorineural hearing loss, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. The inner ear has two main parts, the cochlea, which helps with hearing and the labyrinth, which aids in balance. Both of these are interconnected and are filled with endolymph fluid, which is continuously produced. In Ménière's disease, it is thought that there is a defect in the absorption of this fluid; it is produced normally but not absorbed as quickly as it should be causing a buildup of fluid in the inner ear. To prevent excessive build up of fluid, which would cause damage, the fluid has to be absorbed at the same rate at which it is produced; maintaining a constant volume. Because the hearing and balance parts are connected, the buildup of this fluid causes both hearing and balance problems. Hearing loss is fluctuated rather than permanent; meaning that it comes and goes, alternating b |

Photoshop and the Manipulation of ImagesIn 1990 Photoshop was introduced to the world by Adobe. The purpose of this innovative new technology was to edit pictures and graphics. This invention was Photoshop which was introduced by Adobe. It started as a harmless little advance in technology, but as time progressed it started to be used for purposes it was not intended for. It became a problem here in the United States and worldwide. The problem was that images were being manipulated to falsely represent real life. Photoshop began to influence females of all ages to transform themselves into someone that they are not. This editing software magically created human beings to appear absolutely perfect. Females should not have to feel that they have to appear perfect because each person has their own individual beauty inside and out. Images that have been manipulated through the use of Photoshop should be restricted because it lowers self-esteem of individuals and creates an unattainable self-image. In spite of concerns that Phot |

The Identity of Langston HughesLangston Hughes is an African American writer and a social activist. His writing spoke for a population of people in America during the oppression of African Americans. He challenged the norm and spoke out against unfairness and corruption. His community of African American peers wasn't given the respect and equality that they deserved, so he stood up for them. He used his own personal experience to create a tone that pointed out what was wrong from the standpoint of a fellow African American. This is what gave him his name. This is what people remember Langston Hughes for. Through his writing, he developed his identity. His identity stood for his own individualism as well as the face of the entire African American community. Identity becomes a pronounced theme throughout his writing. Hughes piece, "I Too," is a perfect example of identity as a theme. "I Too" is a famous poem of Langston Hughes, which is very short and to the point. This poem tells the story of an |

The Fort Hood ShootingIn Fort Hood, Texas, a man shot and killed 3 people including himself on a rampage fueled by anger. There are several news stations that analyzed his every move before the incident occurred. In this paper I would like to discuss the differences between how CNN's article "4 Dead, including shooter, at Fort Hood" and Fox News' "Fort Hood gunman may have had angry words with fellow soldiers before rampage, Army says." report the incident that occurred late Wednesday. CNN reported focused on the shooter possibly having behavioral and mental health problems, while Fox News reported that the gunman may have had angry words with fellow soldiers. Media construct fantasy worlds, media are most powerful when they operate on an emotional level, and the human brain processes images differently than words are three media literacy principles I will use to show how these two stories are different. On Wednesday April 2, 2014, Ivan Lopez went on a killing spree, shooting fellow soldiers. CNN and Fox News both reported stories on the events that day but the way they chose to present their reports |
