...mesmerize the viewers without any words said. With a balance of ethos, pathos, and logos, the Chanel Coco Mademoiselle advertising film effectively appeals to women’s desire and emotion very well. Especially the film majorly appeals to pathos, to women’s longing for feel sexy, feminine, young and exciting only by its visual imagery. The Chanel Coco Mademoiselle commercial is presented in a way to appeals to ethos by the choice of the model, setting, and the soundtrack. I find it interesting that the director Joe Wright, who is a winner of BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts), and the representative model for the film, Keira Knightley have worked together before in his award-winning films Pride & Prejudice (2005) and Atonement (2007). Keira Knightley no doubt is a beautiful actress, but there is more to her than mere beauty; she is the kind of beauty that fashion industry desires. Her excellent skill in expressing the subtle, yet strong emotions through her eyes, and her ability to let the style stand out as it mingles with her beauty and fashion style is very desired by the fashion industry. Because of these unique characteristics of Keira...

...What is the Atonement? The word atonement isn't used as much in the local, contemporary church as it once was in the Early Church. Atonement is the sacrifice Jesus Christ made to help us overcome sin, adversity, and death. Jesus’s atoning sacrifice took place in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross at Calvary. He paid the price for our sins, took upon Himself death, and was resurrected. The Atonement is the supreme expression of the love of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Without this expression of love and this dear sacrifice, the Christina faith would be as it was in the Old Testament, led by The Law. But the unexplainable love of God paved a way for His lost and dying children to come back to Him, and unless God sacrificed the most...

...Philosophy 1010 Rebellion - Fyodor Dostoevsky In the passage where Ivan is talking about atonement for the dead, and the tortured children, he poses some questions to his brother Aloysha. For example, “They must be atoned for, or there can be no harmony, but how? How are you going to atone for them? Is it possible? By their being avenged? But what do I care for avenging them? What do I care for a hell for oppressors? What good can hell do, since those children have already been tortured, and what becomes of harmony, if there is hell?” What I understand from Ivan’s passage here is that he wants to pursue and better understand the overall point of the situation. If the oppressors are going to have to deal with the evil of hell in the after life, why should they get to live the rest of their human life in bliss, while the child has already had his life and its opportunities taken away? I think his first premise (P1) is that evil has a purpose, but the purpose of evil isn’t worth dealing with. I think that this is pretty much saying that, we do need evil for “harmony” but having to deal with this cruel evil isn’t worth waiting for the harmony that comes along with it. Why should the child have to be tortured for the harmony to be achieved? Why can’t we skip the evil step and have harmony as something that doesn’t hurt us before it becomes better? The second premise that I took from Ivan’s passage is (P2) the justification of evil has worse consequences than positive aspects...

...Seminary Makeup Atonement Atonement Jesus Christ “came into the world … to be crucified for the world, and to bear the sins of the world, and to sanctify the world, and to cleanse it from all unrighteousness; that through him all might be saved” (D&C 76:41–42). He made the greatest sacrifice of all, paid for our sins and helped us to overcome death. This is called The Atonement and it is the most important principle of the gospel. “For it is expedient that an atonement should be made; for according to the great plan of the Eternal God there must be an atonement made, or else all mankind must unavoidably perish; … yea, all are fallen and are lost, and must perish except it be through the atonement” (Alma 34:9). If it weren’t for The Atonement, we wouldn’t be saved and would be unable to return to the presence of our Heavenly Father. We all sin, nobody is perfect. Only through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we can repent and be forgiven of our sins. In the April 2011 General Conference, C. Scott Grow said "The atoning sacrifice had to be carried out by the sinless Son of God, for fallen man could not atone for his own sins. The Atonement had to be infinite and eternal―to cover all men throughout all eternity.” It is available for everyone. This is such a great blessing that we can share with those of not our faith, as well as remind our friends and family in the church. Many people don’t know about the Atonement and the peace and joy it can bring to their...

...We say a great many things in church (and out of church too) without thinking of what we are saying. For instance, we say in the Creed " I believe in the forgiveness of sins." I had been saying it for several years before I asked myself why it was in the Creed. At first sight it seems hardly worth putting in. "If one is a Christian," I thought " of course one believes in the forgiveness of sins. It goes without saying." But the people who compiled the Creed apparently thought that this was a part of our belief which we needed to be reminded of every time we went to church. And I have begun to see that, as far as I am concerned, they were right. To believe in the forgiveness of sins is not so easy as I thought. Real belief in it is the sort of thing that easily slips away if we don't keep on polishing it up. We believe that God forgives us our sins; but also that He will not do so unless we forgive other people their sins against us. There is no doubt about the second part of this statement. It is in the Lord's Prayer, it was emphatically stated by our Lord. If you don't forgive you will not be forgiven. No exceptions to it. He doesn't say that we are to forgive other people's sins, provided they are not too frightful, or provided there are extenuating circumstances, or anything of that sort. We are to forgive them all, however spiteful, however mean, however often they are repeated. If we don't we shall be forgiven none of our own. Now it seems to me that we often...

...January 30 2014 Theme In ”I am the Grass” Daly Walker´s ”I am the Grass” is a short story about Vietnam War veteran, currently practicing plastic surgery, who goes back to Vietnam to ”repair the cleft palates and lips of children on whose land I once wreaked havoc, whose parents and grandparents I murdered and whom, somewhere deep inside me, I still hold in contempt.” Behind the obvious storyline, the story , however, serves us more complicated and moving, even sad example about vulnerable man, who can not escape the ghosts of his past, no matter how hard he is trying. The story consists several different themes that are all related to each others. These themes include war, regret, forgiveness, re-orientation and atonement. To me, forgiveness and atonement seemed to become the main themes of this story. The narrator is struggling with his past and he can not get over it. ” I can not talk about these things that I wish I could forget but know that I never will, ” narrator still bemoans, nevertheless he has been home already for 20 years. He can not tell the truth about the war to his wife nor his daughter and he is desperately ashamed about the things he did while in Vietnam. To make himself feel better, to forgive himself, to remind himself that there is still humanity left inside of him, he works abroad every summer for couple of weeks helping children. By doing this, he is trying to atone the horrors he did in the past. As story shows us later on, forgetting is...

...Worship What is Worship? By definition, worship is ascribing worth to something or someone. But true worship is also a matter of the heart. It must be felt. It can't be ritualistic. It can't be just an external going through the motions. True worship is a heartfelt expression of love, adoration, admiration, fascination, wonder, and celebration. It's something that happens in your heart and soul when you begin to praise God for who He is and thank Him for what He has done. Worship is what empowers followers of Jesus to live faithfully in the world. In worship our minds take in wisdom, our hearts are moved, and our whole beings are called to live out the gospel. People have worshiped, and praised God since the beginning of time. One of the best stories of worship towards God is noted in Isaiah 6, “ In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke (v.1–4).” Worship brings an upward look, with one glance at God on His throne with all of His glory. It pulls our attentions off our idols and puts them back of to our God. It reminds...

...As human beings, it is predetermined that within our lives we will transgress others and be transgressed upon. With this in mind, it is crucial that we are both able to forgive and to be forgiven. In the depression-era novel Ironweed, author William Kennedy delves into the concept of forgiveness in the forms of both giving and receiving. He does this through the story of Francis Phelan, a homeless man living on the streets of Albany. Kennedy follows the journey of Francis as he embarks on his quest of expiation and attempts to square-up with all that he has cowered from over the past twenty two years. Despite his blessings of uncanny forgiveness from his wife Annie, his sons Gerald and Billy, his daughter Peg, and his life partner Helen, Francis continues to have disbelief in the accuracy of the moral balance of his world, as he has not yet forgiven himself. As Francis struggles to square-up to his wrongdoings from the past, Kennedy shines light on the hardships associated with self-forgiveness that we all encounter as flawed humans. Self-forgiveness as a concept is hard to grasp, even in Lucy Allais’ essay, “Wiping the Slate Clean: The Heart of Forgiveness”, Allais’ avoids the topic of self-forgiveness. Leaving us to wonder, why, when we are often quick to forgive others, can it be so difficult to forgive ourselves? Allais’ “ambitious account of forgiveness” is largely centered around the concept of “wiping the slate clean while continuing to recognize unexcused, unjustified...

...Atonement While it seems to be agreed upon that Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross-has made atonement for humanity, the exact points of that achievement have been throughout all of church history. When it comes to the atonement there are so many questions like, why were God and humanity estranged? Another question that always comes to mind for me is through what measures did Christ’s sacrifice reconcile God and man? Finally how we as mere human beings to respond to such a great act? Using the writings of various authors and Dr. Towns himself I would like to dive into some of the views of the atonement. When it comes to the online article there were several authors works that where listed. These authors range from Fuller, Morris, Elwell, W H Kent, and Kohler. There were also many different views on the atonement expressed. One particular author who’s work that stuck out to me was L Morris. Within Morris’ writing it seamed that several views on the atonement were touched. The thing that struck me about all the different viewpoints is while some of the views could seem as if to build off of each other, other views contradicted each other. For instance the Moral Influence theory insists that man’s sin is taken away when he answers in love to Christ’s sacrifice. This Moral Influence theory shares some similarities with the Sacrifice theory, which states that Christ’s sacrifice is the important component in atonement. Another theory that Morris discusses, Atonement as Victory, takes...

...Scientific Inquiry Javier Bryon AIU Online Abstract By using the controlled experimental method we can prove or disprove hypothesis in question. During the experiment we can come to a conclusion on whether further experimentation is needed or other hypothesis need to be implemented to solve a question. Introduction Blue porch ceilings are quite prevalent along the east coast, there are many theories as to why, from keeping evil spirits out of the home to fooling spiders and wasps into thinking that the ceilings are actually the sky. Many old houses around the Victorian and Colonial era bear this color in their porches due to the popularity at the time, but even now the popularity of the color is prevalent. Besides keeping evil spirits from entering the homes and fooling bugs, the blue ceiling reminds the owners of the blue skies even on cloudy days. Hypothesis The blue paint used in the painting of porches of the Victorian and Colonial homes contains an ingredient that repels insects, a natural insecticide used in the popular paint color. Prediction If there is an ingredient that naturally repels insects in the blue paint then the results should be obvious. Painting two porches ceilings one with blue paint and another one with white paint should demonstrate that the one with blue paint is bug free during the time of the experiment. Controlled Experimental Method First three enclosures were built; enclosure number one ceiling is painted sky blue. Enclosure...

...Testing A Theory PSY/201 May 12, 2013 A couple of years ago, I decided to test a theory on myself by trying to lose fight while gaining more muscle mass. I have heard so many different theories on how to lose fat while gaining muscle mass, but I could not find a good routine that gave me the best results. Before I began my research, I had to think critical about what was causing me to gain fat, and why my workout routine was not as effective on myself as it was for others. I began to search for credible sources on the Internet, so that I can have a better understanding of the relationship between nutrition and the human body. Once my understanding on nutrition was clear, I then began to do research on fat burning and strength conditioning. After my research was complete, I began to test these theories on myself. I created a chart that kept track of each exercise, the amount of repetitions completed, weight loss or gain, and body fat percentage. I used this chart to compare my before and after results within 90 days, and the end results were stunning. I could lower my body fat percentage, and gain more muscle mass, which was exactly what I wanted. The type of informal research that was used to test this theory was experimental research. According to the textbook, Psychology and Your Life, it tells us about experimental research, which states, “Investigator produces a change in one variable to observe the effects of that change on other variables” (Ch. 1, pg. 33)...

...scientific method was trying to plant roses and trying to keep them alive. I would plant the roses and water them and even planted them in the sun. I would not try to figure out why they would keep dying. If I would have went through and tried fertilizer and tried to figure out why they kept dying then I would have at least came to a conclusion. If I would have found out how to take care of roses and then started to water them the way they are supposed to be watered and gave the roses the fuel they need to live they would not have died. I would have first seen how to take care of roses. Then I would have measured out the water and how much sun they needed and applied that then tested my theory I could have seen if they would have lived. If the roses had died after that then I would have tested other theories to see what works like trying to put fertilizer around the base of the rose bush to see if the ground was not the reason the roses were dying. If the ground does not have enough nutrients then the roses would not have been able to get the food it needed from the...

...Scientific Method Sharon Childers Unit 1 Individual Project May 5, 2013 Biology American Intercontinental University Biology is the study of life. When studying Biology one will study the way organisms live and their lives. How are humans created? How are cell formed? What is DNA made of? All of these questions are some form of Biology. Even the color of certain birds is a part of Biology. When dealing with the Sciences you will come across the Scientific Method. This method consists of: Question, Hypothesis, Research, Experiment, Analysis and Conclusion. Below we will discuss a question and complete the steps of the Scientific Method to come up with an answer to the question. Question Do ruby-throated hummingbirds prefer some colors more than others when visiting flowers? Hypothesis In my opinion I believe hummingbirds prefer bright colors opposed to darker colors. The hummingbird has a red throat so considering that I would think they prefer red or something similar to red when it comes to picking flowers to visit. Research Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are primarily in the United States. These small birds are hard to find in the sky because they are only 2-3 in and can flap their wings 53 times in one second. That’s kind of hard to believe or even imagine. When it comes to the type of feeder a hummingbird feeds on doesn’t really matter. They tend to eat from any kind of feeder. When it comes to flowers they prefer, red and yellow are their preference...

...relevant to modern society. Poverty tends to be the greatest ill that plagues the Filipino as a society. The poor ranges from poor, very poor, and to the very, very poor. The topic URBAN POOR was selected from a group of topics given and then given emphasis by the author according to the relevance of this specific group in today's world. Each condition is specifically analyzed in different aspects and parts to further understand the study. In doing so, one will be able to broaden one's ideas and analysis in certain conditions in relation to the topic about Urban poor. This will also have an analysis of their general condition using a theory application- which most probably is CONFLICT THEORY, a theory discussed in class with relation to the Sociological Theories presented. This paper was developed as a requirement and further study of the Sociological Theories presented in class and as a meaningful output of all the lectures and discussions that happened during class. Analysis was done by choosing a theoretical orientation from the ones discussed in class. Students and professionals are the intended audiences of this study. This study will hopefully be of help in the development of concrete analysis and plans not just towards the Sociological development of the urban poor, but of the holistic development as well. The informations contained in this study were based on researches provided by related literature and on- line based sources, more of secondary sources. Sources related...

This accumulation of psychological collections will include emotions, motives, and thoughts. ”Personality includes all those relatively permanent traits or characteristics that render some consistency to a person’s behavior” (Fiest & Fiest, 2009). Traits among individuals may be unique, mutual with few, or common among an entire species; however, the pattern will always be different for each and every person. People may share similar thoughts, views, etc; but they are still very much unique.
