...life. Audience, in this opportunity I’d like to deliver a speech under the topic of “Beauty vs Brain” Ladies and gentleman, If God gave us ability and we had to choose ,which one would you prefer?would you prefer your looks or your personality?your beauty or your brain?maybe half of us will be so confused to choose,because half of people think that beauty is the most advantegous and half of people think that brain is more important. In reality,nowadays people gives value to looks more than personality. Nowadays people gives more chance to the beautiful one than the intelligent one. It’s sad that we live in a world where looking good gets you further in life than being intelligent. How it could be like this?this situation happens because we always judge the book by its cover,we just see the looks,but we never care about its contents. But,when it comes to me to choose whether the beauty or the brain,I’ll immediately choose the brain. Here in my speech, I’ll give 3 reasons why brain is so much better than beauty. My first reason,brain is better than beauty because brain is countable in most of the areas or most of the stages of human life. Brain is something that’s real. Brain enables you to improve many different things in life. The experience you have,the books you read,the classes you take, will continue throughout your life,and will only add to your brain power. It is said that beauty is only skin deep, which implies that...

...[Beauty vs Brain!] * In today's world, the packing is more important that the content. The cover of the book is more important the book itself. The cast of the movie attracts the audiences to theatres than the storyline. Just like that, when you meet a human being, the very first thing that you notice is the way he looks. It's very natural, nothing wrong about that. More often than not, a person's talent is ignored just because he/she happens to look .. well, plain. Be it in the professional or the personal life, a man / woman needs to have a good personality to climb that ladder of success. Or not? Why do you need to look beautiful to be successful? Except of course in the glam-world of movies/modelling. It is raw talent and your ability to talk your way through challanging situations that makes you meet success face-to-face! * Let us know what YOU think about it. Is it about the Brain or the Beauty?! Beauty is important, but only in fields where it is a necessity..like modelling , acting and other forms of entertainment.. In all other fields, politics, technology etc ,science ,there are many people who have done so well ,, inspite of the facts that they are not beautiful.. Of course, there are some people who are prejudiced towards beauty , and so those who are beautiful do have an upper hand . But again, if the person is talented enough, he should be able to make it to the top, irrespective of his looks.. * the brains will be the ones either interviewing...

...Should music be censored? Censorship affects us in many different ways, it affects everything around us. For Instance, it affects the movie we watch, the music we listen. In one word it is restrictions on what people of art create and limits artists opportunity to fully express themselves. Of course, one of the way express your feelings and emotions is the music, which become controversial form of censorship.There have been many different arguments on the topic, however the question still remains as if it should be censored r it should not be censored. I think that music should be censored because it clashes with moral values, negative stereotypes and with generational value gaps. In all types of music artists are expressing their views, opinions and feeling in their songs about what they see and what they know. This is one of the great thing that you have freedom to express yourself. Nevertheless, music is censored because it changes moral expression, as outreach of wrong values as drugs and values, ideas, and beliefs for the worse. As people of different ages use music as a tool of self violence through music could lead to loosening of moral values. They believe that music pertaining profanity is one of the main factors for the problems that occur in our society. Such problems consist of an increase in violence and drug use amongst adolescents. An example was the incident that occurred at, where the media and others looked towards music as one...

By reComparison Contributor comments 12 views9893 Difference between Beauty and Brains Beauty or brains? A question often answered, a result seen all the time. It usually depends from person to person on what type of a partner they prefer but in this discussion or one could say for argument’s sake that both have co-existed in every society for centuries and no definite conclusion has ever been made conclusively to cause people stop asking this question. Even though a comparison of two opposites is most likely to end as a tie, one cannot help but take the risk of seeing what is so important about these two it that raises a question like this today. Beauty Brains Photo by mijori Photo by daveeza Physical Beauty over Intellect There are many people to whom we can put under the banner of "materialistic". It's not only all about the possession anymore; it matters a lot on who you have as a partner. The trend also dictates the value of looks to the extent that intellect and inner beauty is of lesser value in comparison to the way a person looks. It is sad if one considers that people have lost the value of a person over physical features. However, the importance of the looks factor is common is still in the minority, which is a relief to the more heart centered...

...Kannon Manis English Comp II Tues/Thurs 11:00 May 9, 2012 Research Paper Imagine A World without Imagination Thesis: In the poem “Love Calls Us to the Things of This World”, Richard Wilbur illustrates the fact that life is nearly unbearable without the use of imagination. Essay Map: The bleak and depressive theme of this poem exposes the poet’s struggles with finding meaning in his own life, reflects the stability of an objective view of reality rather than a subjective view, and provides an excellent example of the tricks that the right brain is capable of playing on the mind as a whole. I. Wilbur’s Search for Meaning in Life Is Reflected by His Writings A. The poem is written in a style that is quite unusual compared to Wilbur’s other literary works. B. The only positive outlook on life is found while the speaker is still asleep. C. He uses such harsh words as “rape” and “gallows” to make a point about the brutality of everyday life. D. His mixed feelings about life itself are exposed by absurd juxtapositions like “bitter/love” and “thieves/nuns”. E. He is able to find meaning by embracing his imagination as a part of life, and living according to that reality. II. Achieving an Objective View of Reality is a Healthy Practice A. Objective reality, or objectivity, is defined by the World English Dictionary as a worldview existing independently of perception or an individual’s conceptions. B. An objective view of reality is...

... Paris Barnett Placebos Ethical vs. Unethical Dr. Boehm April 21, 2014 Introduction The placebo drug, commonly known as the “sugar pill”, is a drug used by many physicians and doctors to test their patients on mind-control and their behavior to a trial or experiment. Patients however, do not know they are given the placebo and routinely report changes in their behavior and/or state of being. Many even report the symptoms of the drug they originally thought they were receiving. The articles used are common studies of the Placebo Effect. The first article is about the unethical use of the placebo and how many persons are deceived by the drug that encompasses their body. The second article speaks on the clinical and neurobiology aspects of placebo drugs. The third article is a study that Dove manufactured for women and their inner beauty; the study went viral throughout the United States very quickly. All three articles build upon one another to show how science has evolved throughout the years. Study Dove composed a research study in which participants were to use a patch to make them feel more beautiful than they already felt. They wanted to see if women would be able to feel their inner beauty by themselves or would they need help from a stimulant of some sort. They used several different women; of different races and backgrounds, to make the trial study a reality. The women were to place the RB-X, or beauty patch, on their arm for multiple days and...

...group, we point out their perceived weaknesses to make ourselves look stronger or better. It implies a hierarchy, and it serves to keep power where it already lies. Almost everything we say or do consists of othering in some way, whether we may realize it or not. The most commonly used form of this is to other by ones gender. (female vs. male). Simone de Beauvoir wrote a wonderful piece called The Second Sex and in it she states that “One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman” . What an orthodox one would imagine this to be. However, this quote alone summarizes human nature. Everything, how one must dress, walk, talk, and even breathe has been set to certain standards that are to be met regardless of what the individual may wish to be. Men have always had the upper hand in every subject. They have it all, it is always the woman competing against herself to please the desires of the men she is surrounded by. Everything comes down to what society perceives as perfection and we all can assume that these societal rules were made by man as well. After all no man has to worry about the shade of lipstick he wears in the summer vs the winter or if his eyebrows have the perfect arch. Everything has been made so...

...Facial Attractiveness: The Effects of Labeling from Individual and Social Perceptive Abstract An examination of Because the paper is relatively short, consider removing "in-depth" how the effects of labeling based on facial attractiveness impacts an individual’s self-esteem, social interaction, self-perception and quality of life. These two sentences need to be revised. Both sentences are incomplete by themselves. The following paper is an examination of the effects that labeling based on facial attractiveness impact an individual’s self esteem, social interaction, self perception, and quality of life. Research has revealed how labeling in a variety of settings; from social encounters in school to the business sector, as well as across the span of adolescence to adulthood, has taken a toll on personal development. This paper also looks at the personal and social ideas of attractiveness, along with the possible consequences of perceived attractiveness on personal and professional outcomes. What is facial attractiveness? Is it a personal opinion or is it a predestined hormonal attribute of the human race? Does attractiveness play a role in our daily lives? And if so does facial attractiveness have a meaning of higher intelligence? One may ask these questions when searching for that long awaited answer to why are people judged by appearance and why does society place such high value on attractiveness. Attractiveness does not make a person intelligent. Outward...

...information and data collection, given how a person reacts to certain events. Take for instance a thunderstorm; all five senses can help someone know that a storm is coming. A person can see storm clouds forming, hear the sound of thunder, smell the rain ahead, feel the temperature change, and even taste the rain falling. The ability to retain this information is what helps enable the senses (Sensory System, 2011). Retention and repetition help the body sense that something will happen by learning to relate these interactions to a thunderstorm. The old wife’s tale of feeling a storm in one’s bones is better expressed as the change in barometric pressure causing discomfort in the joints, but it is the body sensing this discomfort and the brain relating the discomfort to its known cause, a storm. Another aspect is our adaptation or compensation of senses. If you take away a person’s sight, the body typically adapts more acute hearing (Maloof, 2011). If you take away a person’s ability to hear, deaf people develop better eye sight (Maloof, 2011). The human’s sensory system will adapt to provide its host the best abilities. These adaptations are better formed at a younger age, giving the body the ability to make necessary changes in the developmental stages (Maloof, 2011). While the body can adapt it can also sharpen or heighten its sensory system. There are many triggers that will cause certain...

...Seven Keys to Mastering Research Papers Submitted by WWW.ASSIGNMENTPOINT.COM Research papers of any size are the bane of many students’ academic existence. They can be daunting, demanding, and stress-inducing. However, they are an important and essential element of higher learning. They both teach and test students’ ability to research, evaluate sources, think critically, organize their thoughts, and express them persuasively. And, approached the right way, they can be an extraordinarily enriching and rewarding exercise. Following are some strategies for writing better research papers, and for making the experience a more satisfying—and less agonizing—one. I will focus less on the mechanics (APA style, etc.) of writing a research paper, and more on what it takes mentally and emotionally to not only survive, but actually thrive, in the process of completing so demanding an assignment. (And let’s face it: you will have many across your academic career.) I rely here on not only what I have gleaned from over 35 years of grading university-level research papers, but also from my own ongoing research and writing. So, what works? Here are seven keys to mastering research papers: 1. There’s No Wasted Motion As I reflect back over my research career, beginning with my master’s thesis and doctoral dissertation, I am aware of having read many more books, articles, and other resources than I eventually ended up using in my final research...

...Dogs versus Cats: Which Makes a Better Pet? Vicki Fournier COM/155 November 13, 2011 Genevieve Fraser Dogs vs. Cats: Which Makes a Better Pet? There is no right or wrong answer to this question. Some people say they are dog people, some people say they are cat people, and some people say they are both. Beyond the pros and cons, the decision to what makes a better pet often comes down to a person’s lifestyle, expectations, or in certain circumstances a person’s needs. Remember “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” (Hungerford, 1878) Both dogs and cats are common domesticated pets. Dogs have been domesticated for 14,000 years and cats for 7,000 (Cats vs Dogs, n.d.). It appears in my research that most people that were asked this question “which makes a better pet, a dog or a cat” replied with the answer “dogs,” but if dogs are the better pet then why is it that there are 96.3 million homes that own cats and only 77.5 million homes that own dogs. The scientists at Oxford University released a study that claims dogs are smarter than cats and The London Daily Telegraph has reported dogs have been named as more social animals and therefore have bigger brains than the “alone loving cat” (Gatton Star, 2010, p.11). Here is something to think about: have you ever heard of a cat running full speed into a glass door? Sure a dog is a “man’s best friend” and is always there by your side, he can catch a ball in his mouth, and he knows exactly...

...Leadership: Nature vs. Nurture Kathleen Jessee BUS318: Organizational Behavior Professor Thomas Tonkin May 25, 2015 Leadership: Nature vs. Nurture Even though leadership can be learned, science has found that most leaders have a genetic commonality. Interestingly, leadership means the most within an organizational context. Leader follower relationships are one of the ways leadership behavior evolves and is defined. The two most common leadership roles are the charismatic role and the instrumental role. The charismatic role empasises vision, inspires a sense of pride, and encourages respect between the leader and follower. The charismatic role is a transformational leadership model. Envolving the expanding the followers interests and facilitating followers to perform for the overall good of everyone. (Schermerhorn, 2012). Instrumental leaders show a propensity to develop strategy and set procuedures in motion. In addition, the instrumental leader uses all means available to the achievement of organizational goals. While science has shown that most successful leaders have both charisma and instrumental tendencies, these traits alone are not enough to become an effective leader. Reasearch literature has been full of information regarding the qualities of different leadership traits and how they influence change within an organization. It is important to note that, it would be irresponsible not to address how leaders develop mastery of the leadership skill set (Sahgal...
