...[justin lewis, journalism, media and cultural studies, cardiff university] “When you have that kind of power, when you’re essentially becoming a dominant storyteller for children globally, we have to begin to ask very serious questions about what kind of stories are being told here. Are these the stories we really want our children to hear? Do we want our children to hear other kinds of stories? And if we don’t ask those kinds of questions, then, essentially, we are allowing disney to shape our children’s imaginations.“ [narrator] The walt disney company has been a powerful force in creating childhood culture all over the world. Disney’s massive success is based on images of innocence, magic, and fun. Its animated films in particular are praised as wholseome family entertainment; endorsed by teachers and parents and immensely popular with children. [Dr. Alvin Poussaint, director, media center, judge baker children’s center] “Children, in fact, have been raised on disney for many generations now.” [Henry Giroux, education, pennsylvania state university] “Disney has made a spectacle of innocence. I mean it hides behind innocence in a way that allows it to separate corporate culture from corporate power and it has a kind of romance about it that allows us in some way to treat disney as the ultimate form of fantasy. Fantasy that never needs to be questioned.” [narrator] Disney is a transnational media conglomerate owning tv and radio networks, cable systems, internet...

...People making less than 250k are hardly losers that don't want to work! Some of the quoted non-workers or people who get "handouts" arent losers who don't work. They are STUDENTS, VETERANS, MILITARY, SENIORS! s You keep going to one issue which is the government aide. I agree that it needs to be filtered but that is such a small issue in the scheme of.things. It's not solely about the economy. It's about social issues as well. For instance, as a woman I am not for my employer deciding whether or not my insurance will cover contraception. Contraception costs approximately $70-100 per month. Romney was indeed for removing the current law that does not allow employers to make this decision. Secondly, in regard to women in the work force I dont want flexible hours so I could get home early to cook my family dinner. I want equal pay!!! Third, I am not for cutting funding to agencies like planned parenthood. This agency doesn't solely perform abortions, it provides preventative care. I have went without insurance and I was able to get an annual checkup without paying a fortune… Also, Romney keeps saying how important Education is yet he did not support extending Pell Grants to make college more affordable. I have a Masters Degree and have tons of loans. I dont think I am getting a hand out by getting my loan from the government instead of the private sector that wants to extort students desperate to get an education. I am gainfully employed due to my education and I'm helping...

...sermon 3 Original Sin page 5 Wesley is talking about how when we are born into this world we are born we are born a rank idolater. Which translates into “We worship ourselves, when we pay that honour to ourselves which is due to God only. Therefore all pride is idolatry; it is ascribing to ourselves what is due to God alone. And although pride was not made for man, yet where is the man that is born without it But hereby we rob god of his unalienable right, and idolatrously usurp his glory.” (Lyons pg 5) When man fell in the garden of Eden it was the will of Satan to put pride in our hearts because we believed him instead of god about our own immortality that we will not die, and that we had our own will to choose what ever we wanted. Wesley put it this way “Ask the man, "Why did you do this" He answers, "Because I had a mind to it." What is this but, "Because it was my will;" that is, in effect, because the devil and I agreed; because Satan and I govern our actions by one and the same principle. The will of God, mean time, is not in his thoughts, is not considered in the least degree; although it be the supreme rule of every intelligent creature, whether in heaven or earth, resulting from the essential, unalterable relation which all creature bear to their Creator. “(Lyons pg 6 #8) Man decided that he wants to be the governor of his own life, and not to have to bow down to anyone but himself. In thinking that way we build up our own pride that will put a drift between God and...

The Poor soldiers who sacrifice themselves arent cared about, the men and women who give up their lives are disregarded by these power hungry men.

...What’s in IT for me? When I came to the prestigious University of Cincinnati, I knew, through much of my father’s help, that I wanted to go into the business field. Throughout my freshman year I was unsure of what major I wanted to peruse, but when the Operations Management head, Ruth Sieple, came and spoke to my freshman Pathways class I knew that this major was definitely for me. When she spoke of how people in this major are organized, detail oriented, and like to find more efficient and faster way to complete tasks, those qualification were all mine! I have not taken any core classes in Operations Management yet but I am very excited too in the future. I currently just accepted a job offer with General Electric for next semester in their Operations Management department. I will hopefully be involved with planning and purchasing supplies from their many suppliers, here and abroad, and learning how to manage inventory which is critical in any manufacturing business. A high knowledge of inventory, stocking, designing efficient and productive processes, by effectively allocating resources, controlling inventory, and scheduling projects is obtained when pursuing this specific major. Once one graduates with an Operations management degree, specific job titles such as production manager, operations manager, purchasing manager and agency administrator, just to name a few, can be pursued within this field. Obviously in stating all of that, technology is not only a huge factor...

...period, at least since the aftermath of the world war I. A UBI is an income given without any strings attached to every adult and child (or in some version, only citizens) to provide at least an adequate level of resources. A basic income guarantees each citizen an income sufficient to meet his or her basic needs. The money would be given even regardless of whether the recipients are in the jobs or not. Strikingly for UBI, it is not mean-testing benefits, meaning that no family stuck in poverty traps where benefit withdrawal erodes any increase in earning. Yet, there are many critics of a universal basic income, the most common one is the cost objection. It argues that the cost of providing everyone with an adequate income floor, beneath which no one would fall us out of reach for governments and public finance. Other critics pointed out at some deficiencies that the incentives for people to work would be somewhat eliminated. Yet, what many critics seem to not recognize is that many objections is usually based on inadequate and misleading information, and that the current system of welfare is being implemented obsoletely and ineffectively. In this paper, first, I will demonstrate reasons why the idea of a universal basic income, in terms of feasibility, is financially feasible to be implemented, especially in developed nations. Second, why by doing so would provide more benefits to the people when compare to the currently obsolete and complex system of welfare. And third, the argument...

...of or even the existence of the environmental crisis, this paper will operate under the presupposition that the environment is indeed in dire straits, and that the ultimate solution should produce a utopian society where man and environment are judged equally. This paper is written from the contentious perspective. Through this perspective it is implicit; by the environment's current state, coupled with the assumption of human responsibility, and the obligation human morality, the notion that something must be done by humans in regards of addressing the environment's plight. That something; must be different from what is currently, and has historically been done. The justification for this statement comes from Albert Einstein’s Epitaph. We need to strike out. Enacting positive drastic changes in the state in the environment will require drastic changes in our collective ethos. It is the task of the environmental movement to; not only figure out what these changes are, and which ones will work best, but to also integrate the changes in to the mainstream. Obviously there must be division of labor within the movement, but ideally this subject should be tackled under consensus. Unfortunately, however, in reality the environmental movement approaches the task at hand in disunion. The movement, as seen from the outside, has the goal of keeping human impacts on earth regulated. The ideology that justifies the movements cause is not shared by the group as a whole. The distinction...

...expected as well as the extensive research and documentation required for government contracts. If a part fails to perform correctly it can cause minor glitches as well as problems that can carry serious repercussions, such as in the National Semiconductor case. When both the culpable component and company are found, the question arises of how extensive these repercussions should be. Is the company as an entity liable or do you look into individual employees within that company? From an ethical perspective one would have to look at the mitigating factors of both the employees and their superiors along with the role of others in the failure of these components. Next you would have to analyze the final ruling from a corporate perspective and then we must examine the macro issue of corporate responsibility in order to attempt to find a resolution for cases like these. The first mitigating factor involved in the National Semiconductor case is the uncertainty, on the part of the employees, on the duties that they were assigned. It is plausible that during the testing procedure, an employee couldnt distinguish which parts they were to test under government standards and commercial standards. In some cases they might have even been misinformed on the final consumers of the products that they tested. In fact, ignorance on the part of the employees would fully excuse them from any moral responsibility for any damage that may result from their work. Whether it is decided that an employees is...

...Vishal Wilson English 16 Professor Donald McCrary Research Paper 1 The issue of genetically modified organisms, often referred to as GMOs, is one of the most important arguments we can have as a society. A huge part of the argument stems from genetically modified foods. Some people regard genetically modified wheat and corn for their drought resistance and ability to feed millions of people in parts of the world that desperately need food. The other side of the argument stems from unwanted side effects caused by GMOs such as the creation of herbicide-resistant super weeds to the loss of biodiversity and uncontrollable transfer of modified genes into the environment (Whitman 4). The benefits vs. risks that GMO’s pose in regard to the environment and human health are still inconclusive. Only rigorous scientific research and time will yield conclusive results, along with possible advancements in technology that will help address most concerns. What is clear is that we need GMO’s to be able to feed the world’s population and that the potential risk GMO’s pose to human health and the environment can vary tremendously. The labeling of GM food is necessary will address the question of accountability of the impact GMO’s and large corporations have with their “proprietary crops” to the environment and health, along with minimizing potential risk. The argument that corporate driven agriculture...

...Multiculturalism relates to communities containing multiple cultures. Britain has always been a multicultural society, for example in around 750BC when the Celts invaded and set up to live here, bringing over iron and new farming techniques. However ‘with multiculturalism comes prejudice’ once said by Through out my coursework I will be investigating the question ‘Education or Legislation?’ Which will be the most effective strategy in overcoming prejudice and multiculturalism in society? This is the question I will be asking the public to determine whether enforcing more laws or educating children from a younger age about immigration, human rights and equality. My prediction is that the most popular opinion will be to educate as it could have a more effective impact. Prejudice is a perceived opinion on someone/ something based on reason or experience. In order to gather these options I have devised a questionnaire to hand out and analyse the results in order to come to a conclusion. Some of the questions I asked are; ‘Do you think where you’re brought up has an effect on your attitudes to a multicultural society?’ ‘Do you think there are enough laws in place to reduce decimation?’ ‘Do you think there is enough being done in schools to decrease discrimination amongst a younger generation?’ ‘Who do you think is to blame for increase in prejudice’ ‘Would you be happy with your child being taught about prejudice and living in a multicultural society?’ To complete this...

...This paper explains how and why dyslexia affects our children; it will also explain how it affects students and how we can help them. Those who are unfamiliar with the disability will receive an introduction to dyslexia’s characteristics as well as a description of proven methods which have been most effective in helping dyslexic students achieve success. The goal of this analysis is to provide an overview of why a percentage of our children is having difficulties and determine what is interfering with their ability to learn to read and write. During my observance of these students, I noted that these children have dyslexia. I can now understand why so many frustrated parents of children with learning disabilities (LD) with dyslexia lobbied for the establishment of special classes in schools for children with dyslexia. [P]arents pushed for LD programs in schools for two main reasons: many did not see their failing children as mentally retarded and therefore refused to accept placement for them in classes for the mentally retarded, and schools did not provide services for children with severe reading or language difficulties unless they qualified for an existing special education category. …by the late 1950s, medical and psychological research, combined with parental pressure, led to the development of special school programs to meet the needs of a population of children that always had existed but only recently had been recognized. The ideological message in this interpretation...
