...Luke Weiner 9/4/16 “My Response to the Ethicist Problem” The letter sent to the ethicist was about one’s dilemma on whether it is the right thing to do by telling her friend’s husband about her affairs with other men. The author of the letter displays her disgust with her friend as well as her willingness to tell her husband about her affairs which would consequently end up with the loss of a very dear friend. The Ethicist begins his response by stating that marital affairs are no one else’s business but finds her friend’s reasons for remaining married as selfish because she is only in it in order to fulfill her own desires. If her friend showed any remorse or regret for her actions than this situation would be completely different. This is simply not the case and the ethicist reminds the letter writer of her disapproval and disgust towards her friend. The ethicist also references Aristotle in saying that friendship involves reciprocation and the happiness, which overwhelms them when they are in each other’s company. The...

...experiencing a wonderful winter in the state of Maryland. We have not had a bad winter however, on the days expecting snow it always turns into a disaster. My husband called me on the phone this morning stating that he was unable to take my friend to the airport due to the snow plows blocking the driveway completely with snow. I had to leave my work that morning to try and make calls to make sure that the situation would not happen again. This is not the only time that this has happened. It happens very often when we get snow. I spoke with the men driving the truck at the time of the incident and advised him that my friend needs to get to the airport right away or she will miss her flight. He advised me that I needed to plow out my driveway because he needed to be somewhere else. I did not take that lightly at all. I contacted his boss who stated that I need to speak with the local government and make a complaint. I became irate at this point and began to scream and throw a fit which was not good at all. After several times of trying to contact you I kept running into a hard rock. I have left several messages and still have yet to receive a phone call back due to this matter. I am writing you this letter to explain my situation. My friend came in town to visit for a few days. Not knowing that we were expected to get snow at the time we received it. She was only to be here for a weekend. Due to the snow we received we were blocked in our house because the snow plows pushed snow...

...“I Shall Be Arrested” Gandhi, 1930 Mahatma Gandhi wrote this letter to his dear friend Nehru, just prior to his march to the sea to demonstrate against the British law of not being able to make salt. Gandhi’s remarks profess, “things are developing extraordinary well,” the more important thing is not him personally, but the demonstration to be held and with no violence. He was prepared to meet any resistance on the road for independence. We can see from the letter the ultimate goal was the involvement of the people towards obtaining independence (Gandhi) At the time that he wrote this letter, Gandhi had just begun two “large civil disobedience campaigns” (Findley, 189). Even with all that was going on, the letter shows, “remarkable calm...

...years past, this does not mean you need to put up with abusive, rude, inconsiderate, or unprofessional behavior. Most clients are reasonable people, but some are not. Do not allow a difficult or unreasonable client to bully you. Should you be respectful? Of course. Should you follow orders? Yes. Should you let other people treat you badly or make you feel bad about yourself? Definitely not! Consultant Howard Shenson said that for a client/service provider relationship to be effective, the relationship must be one of equals, of peers. While that sounds good, I’m not sure it’s accurate and viable anymore. In today’s marketplace, the clients are in the driver’s seat, and clearly, they know it. No matter how good you are, no matter how big your reputation, the client controls the dollars and therefore controls you. You exist to serve the client. Therefore the client/service provider relationship is more boss/employee than peer/peer. Vendors who think otherwise are, for the most part, fooling themselves. Letters are typically spaced one, two, or four weeks apart. The intensity and aggressiveness of the collection letter increases as the series progresses. The last letter typically states that unless payment is made promptly, the invoice will be turned over to a collection agency or attorney. Another effective tactic is to suggest that the customer’s credit rating may be damaged by nonpayment of the bill. LETTER #1 This letter is to notify the customer that the...

...30/11/2013 Rhetorical Analysis of Advice to a Friend on Choosing Mistress Advice to a Friend on Choosing Mistress is a letter written by Benjamin Franklin in June 25th 1745 to his friend. The speech of this letter is essentially communicated to single men. The author gave advices particularly to his friend on which type of woman he should date if he is not ready to get married. Franklin preceded his lustful consulting by an apology for the marriage, recalling his friend how much carnal pleasures are favourable in a legal and recognized union. In his message, Franklin advises his friend that marriage is the best solution not for only sexual desires but also the undisputable source of solid happiness. Having suspicions that his friend would not follow his guidance, Franklin recommends him to choose older mistresses instead of younger ones and lists eight valuables reasons to better support his argument. Franklin commences his essay by presenting advantages of the marriage. He says ‘’ I know of no medicine fit to diminish the violent inclinations you mention…Marriage is the proper remedy. It is most natural state of man and therefore the state in which you can are most likely to find solid happiness’’. Through those sentences, Franklin seems to estimate that from a masculine’ view, one of the main advantages of the marriage is to bring pacification toward requirements of the flesh. The recipient of the letter who was the friend of the author seemed to be looking for a situation...

...How the evolution of mobile phone change the way people communicate? Previously, people used to communicate with some of the earliest forms of communication devices included smoke signal, morse code, and pigeons. With all these communication devices, messages probably need weeks or months to reaching its destination. With the invention of mobile phone, all you have to do these days is send a text or make a call and your message will reach its destination within minutes. THE EVOLUTION OF MOBILE PHONE Nowadays, mobile phone is no longer a want but is a need. Everyone including people from teenagers to old people has a personal cell phone of their own on their hands. You couldn’t imagine how a mobile phone looks like in the past; it is totally different from now. Improved technology has made a great change in the history of mobile phones, transforming the huge mobile phones into sleek and stylish smartphones we carry with us now. Let’s take a look at how mobile phones developed from the bulky walkie-talkie look to today’s swipe-savvy descendants. Previously, a mobile phone use to be like this. The design is huge and with a long antenna. A few years later, mobile phones became a little more defined and better looking than how they were before. Antennas were shortened and the designs modified. Only text messaging service and voice call service are included in the function of mobile phone. Besides making a call and texting a message, there is nothing else a mobile phone can do...

...Comp 1 Homework 2. (TWO LETTERS) Due Date 4/1/2014. Topic :- The Massachusetts public smoking ban will be expanded to prohibit smoking in public parks, within one thousand feet of a building entrance and in all parking facilities. The ban will extend to electronic cigarettes as well. My purpose for this letter is to inform by expressing my happiness for the ban. This letter is addressed to my Senator and will be formal. March 31, 2014. Senator Elizabeth Warren U.S Senator For Massachusetts. 2400 JFK Federal Building, 15 New Sudbury Street. Boston MA 02203. Dear Sen. Warren. The recently enacted Massachusetts smoking ban is a wonderful idea. It brings joy to my heart that the legislature finally has gotten what concerned citizens such as myself have been trying to bring to the forefront for some time now. I believe that our entrance ways and parking facilities should and have to be smoke free. I also believe that we do not know the true effects of electronic cigarettes, but still very happy that it was included in the ban. It is my belief that all tobacco products should be banned even though some smokers believe that they are supporting the economy with the taxes imposed on such products. I believe that smokers want to levy their ideas against non-smokers because it is their right to. But they may be doing more harm than good. I am writing you today to emphasize that we should stand firm on the smoking ban. I will lend my support in any possible. I hope...

...Want a job? Need a job? That’s easy, anyone can get just a job. However, if you are looking for a career (and yes, they are two distinctly different things) then before actually seeking out new employment there are three things you need. The first is, knowing the industry in which you want to work and an understanding of what the requirements are to be a candidate for that field. Next, you need a resume. Microsoft Word provides resume templates, for free, to assist you in creating a personalized resume. Last, but certainly not least, you will need a cover letter to accompany your resume when applying for positions. Keep in mind the cover letter will be the first document a hiring manager will read. Research general cover letters and industry specific ones. Use your research to assist you in writing your own. Don’t go the generic route or plagiarize anyone else’s. Make sure to highlight your strengths and allow your personality to come through and jump off the page, setting your cover letter apart from the dozens of others that the hiring manager will read that week. Entering, or reentering as the case may be, the workforce is always a daunting task. Compound this with an economy which has been notoriously struggling, increasing student loan debt, upside down mortgages and many employers unwilling to pay fair market wages based on expertise and/or education, and choosing a career can seem more difficult than sitting for the Series 7 exam. If you are newly entering the workforce...

...story about two friends, Karen and Michelle, where the story is told from Karen´s perspective. Karen is living at home with her mother and father, while Michelle is living with her aunt, and as Michelle claims it´s because of her mother´s attempt to get into Hollywood. The two friends are more or less doing everything together. Summary: Karen and Michelle are preparing for a party, where Michelle suggests them both to dress up with the theme of chocolate buttons - “the fabulous button sisters”. Michelle has already decided that she wants to be white and Karen should be the ordinary one – the brown one. Michelle tells Karen, that she is taken the risk to stand out and be special, while Karen only will blend in unnoticed. Before the story gets to the night of the party, we simply get a closer insight on the relationship between Karen and Michelle. Like the various ideas that Michelle has, for example that they only should eat one color of food at every meal. At the night of the party, Michelle calls Karen and says that she should meet her on the corner in ten minutes. When Karen arrives, she sees Michelle wearing some other clothes than they had agreed. This confuses Karen because they had made an agreement on what to wear. The story ends with Michelle moving to her mother in “Hollywood” where she sends letters to Karen, but Karen finds out that the letters are from Birmingham in England, not from Hollywood in USA. And when Karen stops replying, the letters stops coming....

...University of Phoenix Material Letter to Friend Explaining Court Processes Your Learning Team receives the following letter from a former team member and friend: Dear Friends, I find myself in quite a predicament due to my own misfortune and bad judgment. My 6-year-old son and I were recently left homeless after I was laid off from my job and my house was taken by the bank. I enrolled my son in a nearby elementary school when school started in the fall. I used the address where I lived last, because I don’t have a current address. The school district discovered that I wasn’t living at that address and charged me with fraud. I was arrested yesterday and haven’t yet been to court. My son was placed in the care of protective services. I just want to get out of jail as soon as possible to reunite with my son. I have some questions, and I was hoping you could do some research to find the answers for me. • The police never read me my Miranda warnings. Will my case be dismissed as a result? • The police also haven’t questioned me yet. Should I agree to talk to them, if asked? • Is this considered a state or federal offense? • Will this be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony? • Do you think I really need an attorney? After all, I am guilty, and I can’t afford one. • I also don’t have any money for bail. Are there any options that would allow me to be released from custody prior to trial and that would not require money? • How do...

...Basketball (spoken language): In this text they use short sentences, it is like they are talking to a friend - Daily life vocabulary, "incorrect" grammar. Few subordinate clauses and unfinished sentences with a lot of repetitions. The word "and" -> listings, is one of the most used words in spoken language. There are also many contractions (e.g. it´s). Task 14: In your essay you need to use written language. You use to many contractions e.g. It´s, try to use it is instead. “ But Jesus in heaven there sure are issues”, try not to write like you are talking to a friend. But I think that it is good that you use some fairly long clauses and sentence, and you are not using the word ”and” to often. Task 18: There is one passive sentence in the first letter, and there is zero in the last. I think that it is a harsh tone, he use in both letters. I just think that this should be a conversation, instead of written a letter. A letter is un personal, no matter how bad he´s teaching was, he deserves a conversation and not a letter, So I don’t think he should send any of these two letters. Task 19: To William Butcher, headmaster Of course you will get my resignation immediately. I have been glad for working here, and I think that it is sad that some parents are getting me fired, because they think that I am a bad teacher. It would be nice if you had told me, instead of writing a letter. I’m sorry that it is ending up like this, but good luck in your future. Regards John Lazy...
