...19th June, 2012 Final Research Essay Is the Popular Korean Animation Character Pororo Really an Educational Friend? In South Korea, there is an ongoing Pororo boom among children. ‘Porong Porong Pororo’ is an original Korean animation series that is about the adventures of Pororo and his friends in the North Pole (Appendix 1). People call this penguin character as ‘Potongreung’ which means ‘President Pororo’ in Korean, as it is like the president among children. As this nickname represents, kids love this animation so much but this popularity is a huge problem because it has gotten to the point where no one questions its educational values. Currently as of June 19th, not a single article was found exposing about the negative aspects of Pororo. Mothers turn on Pororo for their kids, in the hope that it will have educational benefits. However, contrary to many mothers’ belief, Pororo can have some negative effects on children’s education in terms of intellectual, physical/social, and emotional development. First of all, Pororo can have a negative effect on a child’s intellectual development. Watching TV affects children’s brain activity to become passive towards learning. Studies show that watching TV reduces alpha waves, which is associated with relaxed meditative states. This creates “mind fog” state which means people feel it’s harder to concentrate and stay focused, like daydreaming (Carmichael). Thus if children watch the Pororo animation for a long time, their mind will be...

...Sheppard, Tawana Dr. Rowe English 1301 M-TH 2:30 P.M. Formal Essay #2 21 June 2012 Beauty In the selection, “Beauty: When the Other Dance is the Self” I like to compare this essay to myself. Like Walker, “It was great fun being cute. But then, one day it ended.” (par 6) When I was born I was the cutest child my mother had. Everyone in the neighbor hood wanted to hold or carry me. I had another sibling but he was never treated like I was. I had the best cloths and I was chosen to go everywhere which made me think that I knew everything. As a child I was very confident and wanted to learn everything. I learned all my Easter speeches no matter the size and did everything that I was big enough to do. As I got older everything changed. I wasn’t eight when my life changed, I was seven. I was all legs and skin, with no fat and was the tallest seven year old around. My everyday activities were wrestling in the mud with my little brother and riding bikes, making me the biggest tom boy in the neighbor hood. I was attending school in fall and wasn’t so happy about it either. I didn’t have long silky smooth hair like the other girls but short rough hair that couldn’t even be combed in a pony tail and my cloths didn’t make it even better. Since I was so tall and lanky, I had to dress like the tomboy I was. My hair and cloths were things that I could handle because I could grow hair or wear a weave and buy new cloths, but one thing that I absolutely couldn’t change was my face....

...and Beloved has returned to shed light on Sethe’s past, present, and future self through painful memories. In a conversation about Beloved Morrison states, “she is a spirit on one hand, literally she is what sethe thinks she is, her child returned to her from the dead” (Darling 247). Sethe feels immediately drawn to Beloved after she states her name; “Sethe was deeply touched by her sweet name; the remembrance of glittering headstone made her feel especially kindly toward her” (56). There are many instances where Beloved without knowing causes Sethe to remember things from her past that she doesn’t want to and even thought she had forgotten. In an essay by Pamela E. Barnett she states that significantly Sethe is flooded with these memories in response to questions from her own daughter, Beloved, who wants to know everything in Sethe’s memory and actually feeds and fattens on these...

...This is the essay I submitted to the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome for their 2012 Children’s Scholarship Award contest. I hope you enjoy it! And here is my profile on the NJCTS website. It’s hard for me to talk about my life with Tourette. For years, I shut everyone out and became enraged if my family even said that word out loud. I know my mom was always trying to help — all the times she tried to show me the stories on TV and the movies about kids with Tourette. She’d talk about the soccer player and the drummer and other people who had my disorder and accomplished things. She’d try to introduce me to others who had Tourette, which only made me rage more because I wanted no part of it. It was always in my face growing up, and all I wanted to do was slam the door shut and never come out. I made noises all the time. I made terrible noises such as barking like a dog and snorting like a pig. I couldn’t stop, and people noticed. Bullies made fun of me at the playground, and I never wanted to go back. My tics ruled my life growing up. I couldn’t stop moving and twitching, and I was totally aware of everything my body was doing — and all the people who could see me. I was so angry that there was nothing I could do about it that I would rage all over my mom when I got home. She would be so nice to me, and all I would do was rage. She raised me and my brother alone and had no one to lean on, and all I would do was rage on her. Afterward, the feelings of guilt for...

...80’s to relax and concentrate (Perry, 2014). At present, I am enrolled into Kaplan University online pursuing my Bachelors in Psychology. During my day, I have to read my books and post to the discussion boards and comment to two classmates’ posts with minimum 250 words. I also have to attend one seminar a week for one hour online with my classmates and the Professor. During the ten week course we have three essays due, so I am constantly working on them early. Once my school work is over, however, I spend my time surfing the internet such as, Facebook, Yahoo mail, and playing games online. On the weekends I am more active with working out and walking, and spending time with my family. I believe to have a positive balance in my life is by staying in shape (Perry, 2014). In 2013/2014, in our society we judge people by the way they look, I have heard people say if you are fat that means you are poor. When I asked what they meant they stated the reason people are fat is because they are lazy and they eat cheap food that is filled with fat. They also stated they are fat because they do not care for their body. People also think that if you are thin, you will be liked and respected, if you are decked out from head to toe in expensive clothing then you will receive...

...extremely difficult. I have four efficient writers here, each one of them has their merit and skill as a writer. George has a powerful grasp of the technical aspect of life and well put together stats. Mona is a fun writer with a more informal approach that allows us to have an experience as we read through it. Jeff has his empathy and gives us a more emotional approach to giving us the news. Lastly Michael giving us a decent mix of all three. Most of them use rhetorical strategies and syntax extremely well and allow for a good reading experience and developed thought. However one of them is slightly lesser than the others and due to recent events they will have to be let go. Michael Levin has a good point in The Case for Torture. The essay does well to use Logos to make its points. He proposes several hypothetical situations in which people are given the moral choice, Torture a terrorist or lose several innocent lives.

...of children that are not being properly cared for. Swift states that Ireland has been enduring significant problems for many years. This has forced people around the country to speculate on solutions, some of which have seemed fairly extreme and complex. The surprise of this story comes at the end and follows a lengthy and highly rational argument in favor of making some radical changes to the country. Swift says that he has realized after going through many of these complicated solutions that the best one was the simplest. This represents a major surprise for the reader, who would have no way of anticipating such an insane solution after a very rational and logical argument. While I was reading I wondered if there was going to be a sudden switch in tone, but I had no way of recognizing that it would be so dramatic. I knew that there was probably an important reason that this text is so important. While reading through the carefully crafted argument that comprises most of the essay, I believed that there would probably be some sort of surprise ending. I imagine that the readers of Ireland at the time were probably caught completely off guard. In preparing for this assignment, I read that pamphlets and treatises were common ways to communicate to the public. These are often argumentative and written to take a side on an issue. Swift never really takes a side while he is laying out the details of Ireland’s problems, which is...

...Lisa O’Neil Ethics and Genetic Engineering Essay Ethics are part of our everyday decisions, in order to be ethical we need to firstly understand the basis of ethics. The word ‘Ethics’ comes from the greek word ‘ethikos’ which relates to the customary way to behave in society. Ethics is a branch of philosophy dates back to before 367 b.c. Famously in the history of ethics and philosophy were ‘’The Three Wise Greek Men’’ Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Socrates was a teacher of philosophy and Plato was Socrates student for approximately ten years, and when Socrates died, Aristophanes became Plato's student. Aristotle views were that ‘’ethics is a virtue of happiness, and that the pursuit of virtue is the highest and noblest aim for a human being’’ . Aristotle can be seen as saying ‘’ Nobody would choose to live without friends even if they had everything else they desired ‘’ (quoted from The Puzzle of Ethics- Peter Vardy pg 31). Socrates took a practical view on ethics, he was concerned with ‘’how an individual would live in order to achieve happiness’’. Socrates can be seem as saying; ‘’Think hard enough and you will always find that doing the right thing is best for you ‘’ ( quoted in Peter singers A companion to Ethics, Blackwell p. 125 ). Plato's view was much more in depth and most famously contradicts Socrates work. Plato believes ethics is ‘’ knowledge is the virtue of happiness ‘’ . Plato can be seen as saying ‘’ If you believe something is right than its right...
