...with soldiers. The daughter looks at him asking “Daddy, what did YOU do in the Great War?”. They designed the poster to induce a sense of patriotic guilt. They were trying to capture the British men unwilling to volunteer for the war and make them feel guilty if they didn’t join. The picture depicts a situation in the future, after the war, where the daughter asks her dad expectantly how he contributed to the war. The war on the poster is already over, the dad can't re-do it. This sends a message to the young boys, unwilling to go to war. Making them think what they would tell their children if they asked what he had done for the war. It also shows that he will come home to his family. The family in the poster are smartly dressed and look wealthy. The colours in the poster symbolise the war and army, the curtains have red roses on them and the chair has the sign of the royal coat of arms on it. This would also make the man think because these are marks of patriotism but this man has not done the patriotic thing. Everything in the poster is positive; nothing would put men off from joining the war even the boy’s toy soldiers are all standing up. “At the front” This poster would stand out to men because it is showing cavalry in battle, with horses reacting to an explosion in the foreground. This poster is trying to make boys interested in joining war to fight for their country. “at the front” stands out to all readers, this would seem exciting to boys because they would be fighting...

...on his promise. Instead Clinton issued the policy Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell that still hindered the homosexual’s chance of getting into the military. Finally, now after years of discrimination, a Representative of the House wrote a bill that will allow homosexuals the right to join and fight in the armed forces. The H.R. 1283 Military Readiness Enhancement Act of 2009 states homosexuals can join the military and should pass for the benefit of all those who serve the armed forces. Official discrimination against homosexuals began during World War II. Before World War II, it was only African Americans who had a hard time joining the military, but then the military started becoming stricter on who can join and who cannot. The military started making people take a psychological test, where anyone who wanted to join the military had to get tested by a psychiatrist (Katel). If people claimed they were gay, they could not join the armed forces. Discrimination continued in every war America has fought until Bill Clinton came along. When Clinton ran for president, he guaranteed to lift the ban that the military established on not allowing homosexuals the right to fight. To get around his campaign promise without trying to upset either side, Clinton created the policy Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell that does not really help anyone involved. Homosexuals were still unfortunately getting harassed, and kicked out of the military because of their sexual orientation. Anna Persky wrote in the American Bar...

...ranged from simple instructions to purely motivational content. In a series of posters, the British government employed a variety of persuasive techniques to convince people to join the war effort. A very common theme in the propaganda was unifying the country around the war effort. The purpose of it was to convince the people that entering the war is a good idea and to increase patriotism. In one poster, it shows a group of people wearing different job uniforms together and on it says "England expects national service" and it is trying to convince people to join the war in any way possible. The propaganda technique used in this specific poster is bandwagon by trying to encourage people to join the war effort. This technique reinforces peoples natural desire to be on the winning side and...

...The Civil War was an bad fight between the South, which wanted slaves to still be a thing, and the North, which wanted to stop slavery. During the Civil War both the North and the South needed to work out what they both wanted to do. Though in the end North got what they wanted, which is a good thing, of course. The North and South and very different opinions on what to do. One of the ways we know this is from the documents given to us. A Confederate recruitment poster from 1862 shows that the South viewed blacks as workers. They didn't care about the African-Americans they just wanted them to be their slaves . The source "Wanted! 200 Negroes" tells us who the actual audience is and what they want to do. "I call upon the Planters...

...history? /10 Doodle means a fool; or simpleton. The significance of the word is that the british sang the song “Yankee Doodle” prior to The American Revolutionary War. It later meant, to dawdle. The American Colonists turned it into a part of U.S. history by singing it in a way that made fun of the song. 6. If a war developed involving the United States; and you were in the middle of your apprenticeship- would you join military forces or stay back and support the troops in a different way? Explain your decision. /10 I would join the military and help fight the war. I believe that instead of staying back it would be easier to join the war and fight for my country. I love my country and I would join the military. 7. What is the theme throughout this entire story? /10 What details support this theme? /10 The theme of this book is men can fight and they can stand up for themselves and what is right. A detail that supports this is when they repeated throughout the book, “So that a man can stand up.” Johnny does not stop trying and keeps trying to do his jobs even after he gets his hand burned. ...

...11/19/2014 Offensive Language in D.H. Hwang's Play, Trying to Find Chinatown - Wattpad Join Wattpad to read and share books and stories (for free). Choose a username Offensive Language in D.H. Hwang's Play, "Trying to Find Chinatown" Reality is what it is...real. To ignore any aspect of what is real sends us on a fool's errand and limits our exposure to ideas and ideals of individuals who do not meet our own "acceptable" criteria. This is part and parcel of the conflict spotlighted in the thought provoking play "Trying to Find Chinatown" by David Henry Hwang. The play centers on a chance encounter between two 20-something men on a New York Street. From the beginning their interaction is fraught with misunderstanding and prejudice. Ben, an out of town Caucasian is merely looking for an address when he happens upon an Asian, nearly his own age, working his heart out as a street musician on an electric violin. After showing his appreciation of the music with a few coins, he is instantly attacked when he asks for directions. The attack by Ronnie is full of insolence, malice, and seething hatred directed toward his "white" tormentor. Ronnie's tirade is peppered with profanity and frequent references to stereotypes of the rural inhabitants of the non-urban American South, twice referring to Ben as a "cousin fucker", completely ignoring Benjamin's own admission of being from the Midwest. Ronnie makes the assumption that due to Ben's skin color and rural background that he is the...

...we can think of. This continued for roughly one month, and so we became pretty close friends….or so I thought. On an afternoon like any other, PlayerX and I met up again in the game and started talking for a bit. Everything was normal, until he suddenly asked me if he could go on my account to try something. I found that request strange so I asked his reason, but he only told me that it would be a surprise. If it had been anyone else, I would have instantly reported them to the moderators of the game for attempt of scam. However he was one of the few friends that I had a high amount of trust in, someone who I thought would never try to scam me, so I told him my account’s password. Through a private chatting site, he told me to that he was trying to do something that wouldn’t take long, so I waited, waited, and waited some more. A lengthy period of time has passed, causing me to ask him “How much longer will this take?”, but he never responded back. My heart sank, and I quickly tried to log back in to my account, but the password had already been...

...Justin Gray Mrs. Kiry TB 332 May 1, 2012 Business Dinner Etiquette Many people these days instead of just an interview for a position are being asked to join for business lunches or dinners. With what seems to be the age of the working lunch break, it seems very likely that a person will be asked to join at some point in their career. The only problem is that manner people do not know the proper etiquette for such occasions. Many believe it to be basically a free meal, and that is not the case. As someone who is asked to join in a business meal meeting, it is important to know that you are still being interviewed. It is almost the same as a traditional job interview in an office setting. The main difference is that the employers are really trying to see how a potential employee handles themselves in a social environment. Part of most positions these days will require someone from one company to ‘take care of’ a potential client. When this happens the employer would like to send someone on these types of meetings that can interact socially and appear that the company knows how to conduct itself professionally. As a person joining a business meal there are certain ways to behave. First of all dress appropriately. Do not show up at a fine dining establishment in casual dress. This looks bad on you and you may find out many places like this have dress codes. It would be embarrassing to show up for a meeting and have to leave because your attire is not suitable...

...In the novel The Puritan Dilemma, chapter six, by Edmund Morgan, talks mostly about the Puritans and the special commission asked by God to obey His commands in order for them to have a promising society. Many interesting things occurred when trying to build this society such as: their covenant to God, the dilemma within the Puritans, and what one has to do in order to be a member of a church. These events caused disruptions in Massachusetts towards the Puritans and others as well making it difficult to for Winthrop to follow the commission. John Winthrop was determined to not let Massachusetts deal falsely with God. So he and other leaders discussed the special commission and they knew “that they must punish every sin committed in Massachusetts”(71)...

...Andrew Linder Dr. B FYE NYT 9/29/15 Barriers we bring upon ourselves restrict us to become whatever we want to pursue. This causes problems when trying to break barriers and work to create new innovations. College presents students with the opportunity to become whoever they choose to be, and find an occupation to fit that. College is an opportunity that allows you to pursue the “American Dream”. The opportunities that college present you with are endless and are open to however you choose to use them. As we are occupying our time about the limits we make ourselves we should be working to broaden our horizon in all aspects. Frank Bruni discussed specific points about what he believes the college experience should be such as networking, involvement in school activities and social media. Moving on from anything you have spent a lot time with or doing takes a lot of willpower to complete. Though this may be hard doing, moving on to become something greater is key to your success. Frank Bruni stresses this in his New York Times article. When in college, students tend to lean towards what they used to do in previous years as a form of comfort and support. This causes students to stay in a “gated community” per say. Students should be networking and expanding themselves rather than trying to recreate their high school years. Joining new groups and clubs instead of reaching to find identical substitutes allows you to broaden your horizons in all social suspects. Students believe...
