...9/26/11 Aziza Gary Com/156 Instructor -Carrie O’Connell When I think about the challenges I will face writing a paper a lot of different factors come to mind. Writing a college paper or any type of writing has never been a strong point for me. Here are a few challenges I will face in the next 9 weeks. One serious challenge is procrastination. I recently learned that people will be slow to complete things, they truly don’t enjoy doing. English has never been my favorite subject and my writing skills, to me leaves much to be desired. This negative thinking, which is challenge number two for me does not provide me with a great learning environment. The last challenge for me would be trying to exceed my own expectations. I strive to be the best at everything that I do. As for back as I can remember English and Math have always been very tough for me. If I don’t envision a great paper there won’t be one. Let me present my challenges; procrastination, negative thinking, and over achievement. I know that only one of these items was cover this week in our studies, but this was my honest answer. When I re-read my top paragraph I realized that sometimes I can be my own worst critic. Getting my education is extremely important to me. In order to achieve my goals I must face my fears of writing. By giving myself time to study and research my topic I am sure to find something interesting to write about. I have to stay positive and interacting with the class and gaining new...

...Censorship in America COM 156 Censorship in America When America was formed, it was on the basis that people would be free from any sort of government tyranny. Free speech was the most basic form of abuse that the Founding Fathers sought to eliminate and thus, the Bill of Rights had it as part of the first amendment. Yet, over the next two centuries, the government has been enforcing censorship on things that it deems could harm society. Although there are many things that individuals should not see, including pornography and racist remarks, this can encourage Americans to act in rebellious manners. The government should not censor materials because by doing so, it violates the Constitution, suppresses information from us, and forces people to conform to the views of the government as all written material in books and online are confined to things that are deemed acceptable by the controlling body. By censoring material, the government clearly violates the US Constitution as it limits civil liberties by denying freedom of speech, which is guaranteed to citizens. As American citizens, we have the right to express ourselves as stated in the First Amendment of the sacred document: "Congress shall make no law... prohibiting the free exercise... of speech, or of the press." Therefore, any act that thwarts the media or individuals from getting information out infringes upon their rights. Yet, National Security Letters, those which prevent the recipient of the letter from disclosing...

...ork2012 - 2013 Catalog A Message from the President “Sullivan University is truly a unique and student success focused institution.” I have shared that statement with numerous groups and it simply summarizes my basic philosophy of what Sullivan is all about. When I say that Sullivan is “student success focused,” I feel as President that I owe a definition of this statement to all who are considering Sullivan University. First, Sullivan is unique among institutions of higher education with its innovative, career-first curriculum. You can earn a career diploma or certificate in a year or less and then accept employment while still being able to complete your associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree by attending during the day, evenings, weekends, or online. Business and industry do not expand or hire new employees only in May or June each year. Yet most institutions of higher education operate on a nine-month school year with almost everyone graduating in May. We remained focused on your success and education, and continue to offer our students the opportunity to begin classes or to graduate four times a year with our flexible, year-round full-time schedule of classes. If you really want to attend a school where your needs (your real needs) come first, consider Sullivan University. I believe we can help you exceed your expectations. Since words cannot fully describe the atmosphere at Sullivan University, please accept my personal invitation to visit and experience...
