...ENG 115 2013 Cause and Effects Samantha Langford December 19, 2013 Assignment 3.1 ENG 115 2013 Cause and Effects Samantha Langford December 19, 2013 Assignment 3.1 Importing most materials for automobiles from foreign manufacturers can hurt the economy. Importing materials for automobiles from foreign manufacturers has many pros and cons. Some of the pros of importing materials are that it improves the trade relationship between importing and exporting countries. Also, capitalizing on the competitive advantage of exporting countries to get cheaper raw materials for production. The cost of buying cars reduces as imported automotive parts improve the current supply and production of value added automotives. Some of the cons are that importing more than the required or stipulated volume of automotive parts may add up to the reasons why an economy may suffer a trade deficit. In this case it means that the country's importation value far exceeds its exportation values. In countries where the same automotive parts that are imported are also manufactured locally, stiff competition from the uncontrolled importation of these materials may put the indigenes out of business. This immediately affects domestic production and employment. The effects of importing automotive materials depend on the current situation of the particular country. The overall effect may be positive for some while it is negative for others. The effects of importing automotive materials depend on...

...To Stop Cheats, Colleges Learn Their Trickery Strayer University Eng 115 October 26, 2015 It has been profound to stop our students from cheating at the Universities in Florida. The University of Florida made test-taking just that, test-taking, not a social hour. Mr. Taylor Ellis, is an assistant dean that monitors the testing center, at the University of Central Florida, has said “It will never stop completely, but I will find out about it” if they try to cheat. (Ellis, 2010, p.1). Many of the students try to use different types of items to cheat, like a phone, camera, paper, pens, clothing, earpieces some even try to use tattoo’s. As you have also heard many students will write a paper and have the paper rewritten over the internet by someone else. This is just one way they cheat on writing assignments. Daines (2010, p2) stated that he was especially disturbed by an epidemic of students’ copying homework. One of the services that are used to deter students from cheating is the Turnitin algorithm. "It's typically 30% of all the papers submitted have significant levels of plagiarism," said John Barrie, founder of Turnitin.com. (Barrie, April 29). Many of our colleges and universities use Turnitin.com to check if students have plagiarized their work. A couple of schools used this resource for future students entering the schools as well, to detect any plagiarism on their application. Do you believe that the software can be tricky, because many students feel...

...Week 3 Assignment 1.1 \\Eng 115 The author of the essay “Facing Poverty with a Rich Girl’s Habits” is Suki Kim. In the essay, Kim wants to explain her struggles. The essay discusses the struggles she had as a child being in the 7th grade and moving from South Korea to Queens, NY. She went from being rich to being poor basically overnight. Her world as she knew it was changed in an instant. Her father went from being a billionaire to having nothing. Her main purpose is to describe what she faced while trying to adapt to different beliefs and cultures. Kim talks about her life going to a new school where everyone spoke English. She noticed that even Korean American kids avoided her. She had not realized there was much diversity within an immigrant group. There was definitely a separation between the groups. Being a teenager, she was “already rooted in Korean ways and language”. Her soul was not quite American although on paper that is what she was considered. She would rather use her Hello Kitty backpack instead of one that had pictures of the Menudo boys who were popular in the 80’s. She was upset that her parents would not allow her to pierce her ears. Most girls her age had their pierced. It sounds like she struggled to fit in and still keep her Korean culture Her lifestyle changed tremendously. She went from having a chauffer to taking public transportation. She had to get used to being called an Asian when she had only heard that term in school in...

...Assignment #1: Summary and Personal Response Keith Louden Professor Cassandra Dettmann ENG 115 April 20, 2016 The most important point that author Russell Baker, made in his title essay, “On Becoming a Writer”, was he wanted to become a writer at the age of sixteen. He said, “that coming out of high school most sixteen year’s old didn’t think about becoming a writer”. But being a writer was the only thing he had interest in. In some obvious ways of thinking he perceived writing was done by the rich but, he considered writing not to be a job that you can make a good earning from. The notion of him becoming a writer was self-explanatory because, he already thought of himself as a writer where it gives him a sense of identity. Being that he was a skillful, and talented great writer. In his thoughts of becoming a writer he was unsure that could be a passion of his. It wasn’t until his third year that the possibility of becoming a writer took hold. By then he was bored with English, and everything associated with it. Why is that? He thought the English grammar was dull, and buffing because of the assignments he did. He felt his assignments turned out to be compositions. Meaning they was leaden with lackluster paragraphs that was not appealing to the teachers once they read them. Except for one teacher Mr. Fleagle, it was an essay that...

...Running head: Domestic Violence 1 Assignment #1: Domestic Violence Shelter Sabrina Honore ENG 115: English Composition Maryrose Kasraie May 5, 2014 Domestic Violence Shelter 1 Believing in Myself: Domestic Violence Victims So many women are victims of domestic violence. I want to provide a shelter for these women. My reasons are women who are abused need help, they feel trapped and need a way out the situation they are in. This is where this shelter will come in place, this shelter will provide a safe place for women or men to get their life together, a place where women or men can get counseling, and a place that gives women hope. The cost of this organization would be slim to none. Once you promote the shelter a lot of people donate to abusive shelters. I did my research and a way many shelters are funded are by donations. The cost would just be to get it going and from there we can ask for donations. First we would need to find a building in a safe and discrete area. Next would be to get the shelter running. I have an idea we could do a fundraiser to get the cost for starting and ongoing cost of this shelter. We could run a fundraiser selling t-shirts, mugs, against domestic violence pens, or something of that nature. So the costs for this shelter would not be that much. The process of this program would be to take women and men in first. The details of...

...Assignment 3.1: Determining Causes and Effects – Draft Version Name: Melvin G. Abramson Instructor: Shannon O’Stricker ENG-115 – English Composition Date: February 25th, 2013 Many automotive manufacturers favor importing the majority of their materials from international markets rather than via the local materials. The reason in the wake of this decision is that manufacturers are partial by some causes to exploit foreign importation which of course has some effects. The cause and effect characteristic establishes the action one takes in embarking on an issue. There is a reason for doing something which is escorted with some effects that is either optimistic or pessimistic. The pronouncement to import or use local materials is determined by the causes and effects related to it. This work explains the causes and effects of an automotive manufacturer importing from the international markets. It effects the decision of people and the economy. [pic] The demand to produce high quality and exceptional automotive materials is the major cause for importing from foreign markets. With lofty competition in the automotive industry, manufacturers exercise all means to guarantee that they fabricate the unsurpassed automotive products in the market. When the local materials will not allow them to produce high quality products, the next alternative is importing from international markets where they are readily obtainable (Hinkelman...

...Week 7 assignment Antoinette Brooks Adelia Cozart-Amos Eng 115 November 26, 2012 Thesis Statement Today, youth in America face an obesity crisis that is unprecedented in our history. Obesity rates have skyrocketed by 300% over the last 30 years, with dramatic implications for our children and our society. Introduction Children born in 2000 have a 1-in-3 chance of developing type 2 diabetes during their lifetime, and 70% of obese 5- to 17-year-olds in a population-based study had at least 1 risk factor for cardiovascular disease.” A statement written by KM Richardson. If the childhood obesity epidemic is not reversed, our society will bear the pain and cost of high rates of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, and other obesity-related chronic diseases. The tragedy is that these consequences are preventable. We know that prevention of disease is cost-effective and ethical; treatment is costly and painful. If we know what our children need to be healthy, why don't we, as adults, fix the problem? Is it lack of education about nutrition; an inadequate food supply; the power of food marketing; lack of access to healthy, affordable foods; or a failure of will? The Obama administration announced its long-awaited changes to government-subsidized school meals, a final round of rules that adds more fruits and green vegetables to breakfasts and lunches and reduces the amount of salt and fat. Specifically, 38.8 percent of students who routinely eat school...

...Assignment 2.1: The Public Needs to Know: Opening Positive Impact Issiac Anthony Barnes Professor Sharon McCamy ENG 115: English Composition 1/31/2016 Revised 2/11/2016 Imagine one day your son or daughter came to you with the horrifying news that he/she is HIV positive. What kind of impact would that have on you? How would you react to this devastating news? Where would you begin to do your research on such a matter? Who could you turn to? I understand that none of the board members in this small town in Gwinnett County called Little Foot can fathom the idea around me wanting to open a HIV Clinic for people living with HIV or AID’s which I would call Positive Impact. However, I can assure the community of Little Foot that, by opening this clinic, I can produce a positive impact by helping reduce the spread of HIV and the homelessness of people with it, and that it will help provide free counseling for your family and or friends, in order to combat the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS. I want to also explain to you facts and personal examples of why this stigma of HIV is destroying the very communities around us. In Little Foot alone 10.5% of the population is recorded to be infected with the virus in 2015. That’s almost 1100 of our population of 10,000 people. You all sit in your board rooms thinking that it can’t be you or one of your loved ones but I assure you it can. “One in eight people living with HIV are unaware of their infection” (aids.gov).

...Facing Poverty with a Rich Girl’s Habits Patria J Holloway Dr. Gordon Theisen Eng. 115 October 20, 2013 I feel that Suki Kim was a spoiled child. She had a governess, maid, and a chauffeur when she lived in Korea. She didn’t need anything as she was growing up there. Her father was a millionaire from having a shipping company, a mining business and hotels. Then one day they lost all of their money and had to flee to America. Bankruptcy in Korea had jail time behind it, something that her father didn’t want to go through or put his family through. So they left Korea in the ‘80’s and moved to Woodside, Queens in New York. To what Suki says was an “ugly house” that a Korean family owned that ran a dry cleaners. Their sons, Billy and Andy became her playmates. Suki was picked on from the other Korean children both at home and in school. She felt out of place. Therefore the other students didn’t want anything to do with her kind. They were Koreans, but not Korean American. They would call her FOB, “fresh out the boat,” or “yellow.” Funny because they didn’t arrive in a boat, they flew here in an airplane. Even the rich Koreans that left there and came here moved to Manhattan or Westchester. The children were ashamed of her and her kind. In order for her to learn English, she would watch reruns of “Three’s Company.” “Immigration is meant to be the great equalizer, yet it is not easy to eradicate the class divisions of the old country.” (para. 7 pg...
