...Within the poem there is a tone of didacticism, censure, accusation, and understanding that is portrayed through the voice of the poet. The use of the pronoun “you” at the beginning of the poem universalizes the audience for whom the poem is intended, and makes it less personal. The poet is speaking directly to you, and its effect is a tone that is almost accusatory. YOU will not be able to forget. YOU will “remember the children that you got that you did not get”. The poet uses a paradox with the previous line to comment on the miracle of life, the wonder of conception. “The children that you got” was the life growing in the mother’s womb, and the mother got a child, she was carrying that miracle inside of her until she decided not to carry it through. She got a child, but she did not get it in the end. So despite the miracle, the mother has thrown it away. The poet shifts the tone to a graphic, uncomfortable feeling with a description of what an aborted fetus usually looks like, “damp small pulps with a little or with no hair”, and draws an almost didactic contrast between the dead and the potential lives of the fetuses, “the singers and workers that never handled the air.” The poet is teaching a lesson, it seems, about what abortion does to the future. Perhaps that fetus was destined to be a great singer or the head of a company, as is suggested by the “workers” the poet references. The tone then changes to one of censure in the lines, “You will never neglect or beat them”...

...PERHAPS the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defence of custom. But tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason. As a long and violent abuse of power is generally the means of calling the right of it in question, (and in matters too which might never have been thought of, had not the sufferers been aggravated into the inquiry,) and as the king of England hath undertaken in his own right, to support the parliament in what he calls theirs, and as the good people of this country are grievously oppressed by the combination, they have an undoubted privilege to inquire into the pretensions of both, and equally to reject the usurpations of either. In the following sheets, the author hath studiously avoided every thing which is personal among ourselves. Compliments as well as censure to individuals make no part thereof. The wise and the worthy need not the triumph of a pamphlet; and those whose sentiments are injudicious or unfriendly, will cease of themselves, unless too much pains is bestowed upon their conversion. The cause of America is, in a great measure, the cause of all mankind. Many circumstances have, and will arise, which are not local, but universal, and through which the principles of all lovers of mankind are affected, and in the event...

...Psych 200 Professor April 15, 2014 Psychological Warfare. In this report I am going to explain how propaganda and psychological warfare influences and manipulates people to make them support a country. I am going to show how the media works as the medium through which the governments spread their propaganda. The government manipulates masses using pamphlets, speeches, morality and priorities. This manipulation is done through the media. Media and subjects like censure are going to be discussed in this report. I will show how the Persian Gulf War can be set on as an example of the media spreading government propaganda and psychological warfare. This report also includes an analysis on propaganda and it’s denotative and connotative meanings. This report is also going to show us it’s effect and importance in our community and society. Whats Propaganda All of us, know about the horrors and the devastation that are a result of wars. Despite these horrors, we act indifferent towards war and it’s effect on the world community. Countries’ governments manage to manipulate us and make us think that their war actions against another nation, race or culture are well justified. Nations make the members of the society believe, that they are doing the right thing, and that this military action against a declared enemy is the most desirable thing to do in order to keep “the world’s stability and peace”. For this reason people say we are “meant” to help and serve our country, in...

...listening to. Pathos is the way the author/character appeals emotionally to the audience. By showing and relating to emotion the audience is easier persuaded. Logos is a logic appeal which convinces the audience through logic or reasonable facts. Caesar’s funeral scene when Brutus and Antony give a speech give plenty of appeal to the audience. When Brutus starts his speech he tells the listeners, “believe me for mine honor, and have respect to mine honor, that you may believe…” By using the word ‘believe’ Brutus is giving credit to himself, which is ethos. In other words he is telling the audience, “I am a believable man, so trust what I am saying.” By using starting the speech like this is makes the audience listen right of the bat. Another time when Brutus uses the emotional appeal is when he is speaking of Caesar. Brutus’ main point is that he loved Caesar but he loves Rome more. He goes on to explain, “as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was valiant, I honor him.” This quote is showing both...

...Software piracy, define as the unauthorized use, distribution, duplication or sale of commercially available software, has become a global issue. In fact, almost one-third of all installed software is pirated (Jansma, 2004). Software pirates are responsible for over $10 billion in lost revenue (Hess, 2003). Each industry must protect its own intellectual property. The three most important aspects in helping to resolve piracy is knowing the processes and techniques in capturing piracy, identifying the motivating factors, and prevention. How do organizations capture pirates? There are three processes that can help software companies catch violators: monitoring, preserving evidence, and taking action. The first step is for companies to determine the extent of its piracy problem and monitor the online channels (Hess, 2003, p.4). Once the extent of the problem is identified, online monitoring should be implemented to discover the details. The two types of monitoring are in-house and outsourcing. The advantage of using the in-house monitoring program is that it saves money and the staff gains firsthand knowledge of the strategies that are used. Outsourcing the monitoring can be expensive, but the main advantage is that the service is extensive and uses systematic monitoring (Hess, 2003, p.5). Most pirated software is sold on auction websites, such as eBay, Yahoo! Auctions, and Amazon.com Auctions (Hess, 2003, p.5). Approximately, 60-90% of the software products offered in online auctions...

...Flash back ten years, and Argentina enjoyed an average annual growth of 9%, was the strongest economy in Latin America and considered an impending rival to the up-and-coming BRIC countries. Over the ensuing years, as employment increased and incomes rose, government revenues and spending also increased. Today, economic turbulence, accelerating inflation, and ad hoc economic interventions characterize Argentina. Since January 2013, the value of the U.S. dollar has skyrocketed 29% and the unofficial exchange rate is almost double the official rate. Double-digit inflation is estimated at about two and a half times the official rate, and the prices of Argentine products have nearly tripled. Argentina faces a 2.4% annual growth rate, restrained economic capacity, a censure from the IMF, challenges to recent trade measures in the World Trade Organization (WTO), and social unrest at levels similar to the aftermath of the 2001 economic crisis. To strengthen government coffers, foreign and domestic enterprises have been nationalized. As a country with so much potential, so rich in natural resources, culture and history, one can't help but ask: what is happening today in Argentina, what's next, and will Argentina change course? The current administration, under President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, has intervened in the economy to stem capital flight and protect depleting foreign exchange reserves in ways that are unpredictable and inconsistent. Measures include a series of strict...

...Politics of Coalition in India Politics of coalition has become the ultimate truth of Indian politics these days. No doubt, a coalition gives the chance and pleasure of running a government, but in the course of time, temporal friendships, deceit and blackmailing turn out to be the cause of brutal termination of a coalition government. In most of the cases, a coalition is a principle less, irresponsible and unaccountable alliance of some power-seeking individuals. We have the very current example of Karnataka where the BJP got deceived in a game of ridiculous political farce. The Indian society is divided into different religions, castes, sects and regional mindsets. Principle-based politics has become a deed on papers only and what are more visible nowadays are parties of castes and castes of parties. There are regional parties having special zones for them. We find regional barons and country heads of various castes. These small and regional groups never hesitate to unabashedly indulge in the act of blackmailing for their own purpose. There is no discussion on the burring and relevant topics of national interest. Agriculture, employment, economic policies, education, public welfare, etc. are out of their agenda. These coalitions have become a severe headache for our nation. The pertinent question arise here :what these characterless coalitions have to offer to our nation? The answer is not hidden from the known fact that these coalitions could not become a medium of...

...He has included bits of transcripts from the court proceedings and quotes from the correspondence of the Puritan Governor John Winthrop. This approached has helped Morgan to focus on what the attitudes were of the key players of the time. He understands that there is a tendency for us in our modern world to project the attitudes, ideas, and ways of thinking into the settings of the past. If we do not pay attention to the details and attitudes of the historical times in question, often we can impose our own frames of reference and philosophies when we read and study the past. Using primary resources helps us to better understand the past and to see it through the eyes of those who were present. As such, Morgan reminds the reader that “this proceeding took place in an infant community the leaders of which looked on democracy as the worst form of...

...Reading School for Wives was like reading a burn book from middle school, with the exception of the excellent vocabulary. Burn books were notebooks some girls kept to write down all the problems they had with other kids in their grade. While some complaints may be true, it could be hurtful to the crowd they were aimed at. School for Wives showed how women were expected to act and how they were perceived by men of the time. It was hilarious to men (who were the same gender as the author of the play, meaning not who the criticism was projected to), but offensive to women because they were who the censure was directed at. Moliere believed that tragedy must be heroic, while comedy must hold the mirror up to nature, and this is exactly what he did with School for Wives. Using subtle humor along with the blatant examples of flaws in the society to create a play of truth and wit, he showed his brilliance and humanity’s true colors. Along with men and women in general, he also criticized the church and nobles of the time. For example, the 10 maxims can be related to the 10 commandments. His satire using the Catholic Church didn’t seem to go over well with many, showing his readiness for risk taking. He was creative and edgy in his brashness; I believe it was because of this that his work pulled through and gave him great success. As he wrote about the very people that were funding his plays, he was putting his whole life's work in jeopardy showing how avid he really was. Through his...

...L327 Professor Lynch Long Essay Assignment Turning the Language in on Itself: Mary Leapor’s Poetry Deftly manipulating the poetic traditions surrounding female beauty and the Pastoral, Mary Leapor creates a satirical platform through which to insert her writings and her working class, female self into the literary tradition. Her writing mimics the traditional forms, faithfully recreating the atmosphere and lyricism common to them; however, Leapor goes beyond the traditional forms by using startling, even distasteful, imagery to make her point. These contrasts are set sharply against the mood and context of the initial forms, yet they work because they follow the general “rules” of the traditions. By instilling her own form of reality into the Pastoral, Leapor gives herself permission to recreate the genre in an aesthetically, ideologically acceptable way. Leapor’s theme focuses upon her position as a female author and the position her identity as an author places her in relative to society: her use of the pastoral emphasizes that theme. Leapor uses these techniques to create a body of work that is structurally in line with the Pastoral, yet definitively sets her ideals and themes in the forefront of her poetry, thus placing both Leapor and her writing within the literary tradition. Leapor’s satirical voice is clear and distinct within the bounds of her poetry. The Pastoral form, with its gentle verses and lovely scenes, contrasts completely...

For example in the reality show the men treats the women badly by disrespecting them with using curse words etc. In addition, African Americans have been suppressed by the media. In most reality shows African Americans are portrayed negatively. Usually shows on African Americans involved topics such as violence, crime, and sexual behaviors. These negative images have made it hard for African American to earn lead roles in shows today. However, this seems to be the images that black’s today actors and actress are limited to. If you look at the history of Hollywood, you will notice that during the time of racism and sexism, small roles were limited to African Americans, however these times has changed.
