...D’Aesha Rahming English Language Synthesis Essay (AP Paper) Read the following sources (including the introductory information) carefully. Then write an essay that develops a position on whether or not there should be specific texts that all students of high school English must read. Synthesize at least three of the sources for support. Countries are like bags of assorted candy. They are packaged with persons that possess an array of personalities, skin colors, religions, cultures and ethnicities. Simply put diversity is common worldwide; even more so in schools. A school is a miniature country. It has its own food services, events, community, leaders, and laws. However, the proximity of one individual to another is increased. Therefore, persons in most cases are immediately exposed to the differences around them. With that being said, some people believe that because of this kind of exposure, it is of high importance that schools find a way to encourage students to embrace the various differences instead of disowning or degrading them. One way America attempts to do this is with the variation of books that pupils read in schools. Despite this, in some nations, it is standard practice that specific texts are read in all schools. However, I disagree with this. By placing such restrictions on the reading materials of students, I feel that these students would be negatively affected. This is because the idea is becoming obsolete in this digital age. Also, because persons can...

...Kant consistently insists that CI does not involve maxims and that the ends mentioned in CI2 and the realm of ends in CI3 confront the formalist assertions in the Second Critique. Therefore, Kant’s Second Critique attempts to repair the theory and eliminate the problems of his pre-critical writings by introducing a formalistic approach, as I will explicate this part in 5.1, where Kant’s earlier writings concentrated on the notion of the good, either psychologically as seen in the Prize Essay, or as unconditional good and the associate necessary ends in his later essays (e.g., the Second Sensation in the Canon of Pure Reason). In the Groundwork, Kant attaches the good with the willing and associates it with the moral law. Then, he gradually relies on the notion of moral law instead of the notion of the good. In the Groundwork, the notion of the good does not rely on feeling or sensation; rather than it derives from the rational directly. Kant points out that every motive has an intended effect on the world. When desire drives us, we first examine the possibilities that the world leaves open to us, selecting some effect at which we wish to aim. But, if we act in accord with practical moral law, we encounter a significant difference since the only possible object of...
