...Jamie O’Neal October 22nd, 2014 Eng 112-02 Be Stupid (it’ll be fun) Diesel’s ad campaign “Be Stupid” is award-winning, simple and to the point. It portrays a proposed way of life with visual metaphors of stretching boundaries and breaking the rules to have more fun. This specific ad shows a man’s lower half clothed in Diesel jeans with a bare-legged female crawling on top of him and another scantily clad female underneath the bed, hiding and covering her mouth. Diesel seems to be trying to encourage and celebrate being “stupid” as a new way of life that is against the status quo of an uptight society. All of the ads are of young and attractive people doing some kind of an illegal, sexual or shocking act. Though this campaign was thought to be pure gold by its creators and even by the Cannes International Advertising Festival, it was banned in the UK with good reason. This advertisement specifically, along with most of the others is inappropriate for children, offensive and encourages distasteful and rebellious behavior. Diesel had a good technique in targeting a specific audience with this campaign by making all of the taglines encouraging for the youth to take chances and not to fear failure, but pairing that message with images of girls flashing cameras or hiding half naked under beds is where it goes south. Every single ad in this campaign is portrayed by a young person, being close to naked or doing something sexual. When children see this being celebrated, it tells...

...If you ask me “what is the best thing and worst thing happen in my entire 2014?” Hmmmmm…A lot of experienced entering in my mind right now but let us consider the word itself “best” and “worst”. The best thing happen in my 2014 is that I started to know this person, I still remember that day March 12, woah can’t imagined I can recall the date itself, it’s too sentimental for me well when my classmates making fun of us, they teased why we can’t try to have some kind of sparks lol. I started to feel a little bit weird but there’s a tiny echo that says yeah why can I at least bite that thing. As day passed by I started to feel different, I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but it’s the same feeling when I met that girl that was started to see myself in different way and change me, when I fell in the venom of this girl name Ann. I know I can’t be fall for the same mistake again. March 28, the final day of second semester of my 1st year life in college, all the fears, the awkwardness, and the kind of stupidity was released for the second time around I confessed to a girl, I thought it was the same with the first one but it was not, woah one of my memorable day, that conversation. To cut this long cliché story, when I knew Aubrey, I started to feel complete and happy again. If there is a best probably there is a worst thing. Loving this girl knowing that she can’t love you back because she has a boyfriend. Whenever this girl tell me her story, I mean their story, the way they...

...The move for women to have the vote had really started in 1897 when Millicent Fawcett founded the National Union of Women's Suffrage. "Suffrage" means the right to vote and that is what women wanted - hence its inclusion in Fawcett's title. Millicent Fawcett believed in peaceful protest. She felt that any violence or trouble would persuade men that women could not be trusted to have the right to vote. Her game plan was patience and logical arguments. Fawcett argued that women could hold responsible posts in society such as sitting on school boards - but could not be trusted to vote; she argued that if parliament made laws and if women had to obey those laws, then women should be part of the process of making those laws; she argued that as women had to pay taxes as men, they should have the same rights as men and one of her most powerful arguments was that wealthy mistresses of large manors and estates employed gardeners, workmen and labourers who could vote........but the women could not regardless of their wealth..... However, Fawcett's progress was very slow. She converted some of the members of the Labour Representation Committee (soon to be the Labour Party) but most men in Parliament believed that women simply would not understand how Parliament worked and therefore should not take part in the electoral process. This left many women angry and in 1903 the Women's Social and Political Union was founded by Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters Christabel and Sylvia. They wanted...

...It’s the economy, stupid! David Gross, Holo Zheng, IMBA, Bar-‐Ilan University, 2014-‐2015 ! Introduc4on As much as naConal security is considered to be the first duty of any government, naConal elecCons are generally decided on the issue of economic competence. This was most clearly seen in the UK General ElecCon of 1945, where aNer prosecuCng the Second World War successfully, it was widely expected that Winston Churchill was would be re-‐elected with a handsome margin. Not only did the Labour party win, but it did so in a landslide, indicaCng that the public wanted economic issues to be placed at the top of the naConal agenda. In 1979, a similar phenomenon occurred, where aNer years of insCtuConal obstrucCon, strikes and poliCcal chicanery by the trade unions, Margaret Thatcher was returned as Prime Minister with a specific mandate to reform the economic landscape in the UK.

...As a class assignment, I read an article called is Google making us stupid, by Nicholas car. The author describes the thought that the internet has not completely changed everyone lives forever but that nobody really knows how the internet is creating and changing our world. Reading this article made me come up with so many questions. What is the internet? What would it be like is there was never such thing called an internet? I definitely agree with the author that Google, and websites on the internet, has made us lazier and rely on technology rather than relying on each other and also trying to better ourselves as good people. I don’t think the internet has made us stupid because the internet opened up an entire new realm of studying and knowledge. I like goggle because it fun finding think u want to search for.

...Is Google making us stupid? ENG 111-29b Professor Ruth 09-10-2012 Davante Williams Once I read this article by Carr I began to think about what Carr was trying to say and explain to the reader this quote explains the idea that the Internet has not only completely changed our lives forever but that nobody really knows how the Internet is making and changing our world. I definitely believe that the Internet has changed my viewing of the world and made my life a whole lot easier. Along with the fact that the Internet has made my life easier, it has also made me a much lazier person just by the simple fact that I can type anything into any search engine, such as Google, and receive an answer just by a simple “click” of my mouse. It really has made me think and wonder what life would be like without Internet, I seriously cannot even imagine it. I have grown up with Internet and do not know life without it. I consider myself to be somewhat of a lazy person and tend to slack in some areas of my life, I have been seriously considering if I did not have Internet to simplify my life’s needs that maybe I would become an overall less lazy person. I think chances are high for that and that I definitely would become automatically less lazy. I definitely agree with the author in the sense that Google, along with everything on the Internet, has made the human race a much lazier group and rely on a piece of technology instead of relying on each other and trying to improve ourselves as...

...Is Google Making Us Stupid? This article has a very strong grasp on effective writing, in order to explain, you have to understand what effective writing is. What is effective writing? In simple words, effective writing is a piece or writing that immediately involves the reader’s interest and carries the reader through to the final paragraph with no loss of concentration.

As I sat down to write this review I had to make sure the document followed certain guidelines. Is the document able to achieve the purpose it’s intended for and, is the document able to get it across effectively? Is Google Making Us Stupid? At the beginning of the article, the writer uses a very catchy hook to draw the reader. When you ask a question with such great magnitude the reader has a hard time not to investigate. The article then goes on to talk about how technology has changed how we process information and, how we stop using our brains and traded it in for a computer. Technology today is far more advanced than it has been in the last 20 years and it will continue to advance further more in the following years.

In the article of “Is Google Making Us Stupid?”, Nicholas Carr argues that the Internet is changing the way our mind works and has some negative effects on our lives. The article begins with that the Internet is the excellent resource where we can find whatever we want for everything, and we are becoming more and more dependent on it in the field of writing, reading and so on. Afterwards, Carr claims that it has a large distraction on our mind, and we even cannot concentrate on a long reading material. As he said, technology is becoming more important than people. In the end, he also tells us that Google is trying to invent an artificial brain to replace our "slow" brains that we already have.
