...3331 Critical Analysis Paper Christopher Gouty BUS311: Business Law I (BNJ1424A) Instructor: Diana Walker June 23, 2014 Critical Analysis Paper There was a friend of mine that was in a rental agreement on an apartment that he lived in. He signed the contract knowing the five element of the contract. He had the intention to create a legal relationship, he understood the offer, he gave an acceptance, he knew the consideration, and they both met the capacity of the contract. Knowing that he had signed a rental agreement to live in the space provided, but where he was working at closed down and he was in a city that he did not know. The only reason he was up there was for that job, so he went back to his home town leaving the apartment. He knew that he broke the contract by leaving without notice and not paying rent when he was not living there. His intentions were to live there while he was working on managing a store for a friend that had recently started a company. By him going to the rental office of the apartment complex he knew that he had the intention of drawing up a contract with the managing group of the complex. He knew that if he were to break the contract that he would have to pay for the months that the apartment was not rented out to another tenant, along with fees fixing up the apartment to get ready to rent out again. “A contract is a legally enforceable agreement. As this definition implies, a contract comes into existence from the...

...Critical Analysis Paper The functionalist theory has affected psychology for many years to come. Many psychologists have backed this theory many centuries ago. The purpose of this paper is to describe the functionalist theory, compare the work of three theorists, and analyze one contribution of each of theorist’s findings. Functionalism began in the late 19th century. Functionalism was strongly influenced by Darwin’s doctrine of evolution (Olson & Hergenhahn, 2009). The many ideas and thoughts of functionalism originated in the United States. Functionalism is the utility of consciousness and behavior in adjusting to the environment (Olson & Hergenhahn, 2009). Theorists mainly focused on how behavior is affected by the environment. One of the main theorists during the functionalist movement was John Dewey. He was a historicist and a genetic psychologist. He had a different perspective on theories because he was a historicist and a genetic psychologist. Dewey believed that humans develop through distinct, observable stages of consciousness that correspond with the intellectual development of the race. Therefore, Dewey's inductionist and social constructivist stages are subsumed within his overall developmental scheme, the inductionist stage necessarily precedes the social constructivist stage, and the social constructivist stage necessarily incorporates the inductionist stage (Fallace, 2010, pg. 129) This alone set Dewey aside from other theorists. He made great advances...

...According to “Marijuana: The Facts,” www.usdoj.gov, 2001. Mary and E. Williams reported in her article “Marijuana Is Harmful” she states that marijuana is harmful and addicting, the drug also has many short and long term effects like memory loss, anxiety weakened immune system and an increased risk of cancer respiratory diseases, and heart problems. Marijuana smokers are also more likely to do other illegal drugs. Smoking marijuana can also add to already serious ailments and is not recommended for medical reasons. The underlying problem with the fight to legalize marijuana is that it will lead to legalizing other illegal drugs. (Williams, 2003, para.1) Clarence Page states in the article “The Harmful Effects of Marijuana Use Are Exaggerated.” that marijuana is not any more dangerous than tobacco, alcohol or prescription drugs. He also argues that Marijuana safer than some of these other drugs because no one has ever died from a marijuana overdose. He also asserts that it helps relieve pain and nausea so doctors should be able to prescribe it. Clarence Page also believes that legalizing marijuana would help put an end to violent street gangs. (Page, 2005, para.1) According to “Marijuana Is Harmful” From 1993 to 2000, emergency rooms have seen triple the number of cases involving marijuana. Another thing to think about when discussing the topic of marijuana is that one hour after smoking it can increase the chance of a heart attack by five times. Clarence Page argues...

...Lambro Golloshi ENG 102 17 Prof. Tappin 4-23-2012 Lovely bones Critical Analysis Paper Losing a loved one can be such a difficult thing to accept. But what if you kept believing she was still there? Definitely not in body, but lingering in spirit. In The Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold, we dive into the mind of Susie Salmon; a 14 year old, dead girl. When Susie Salmon is murdered on her way home from school, she leaves behind a family and friends who care deeply for her. As each person deals with her death, most of them deal with a large amount of survivor’s guilt. The two characters that seem to have the hardest time accepting Susie’s death and their own survival are Lindsey Salmon and Ruth Connors. Lindsey deals not only with the drama in her family’s personal lives, but she also must learn to live her life and enjoy the milestones that she reaches, even while acknowledging that Susie will never have those special moments. Ruth deals with Susie’s death by delving into the spirit world. Despite the fact that she did not know Susie Salmon very well during her life, the dead girl is the primary focus of Ruth’s life after the murder. The novel takes place over a period of eight years after Susie Salmon’s death. However, it is filled with flashback scenes where Susie remembers things in her life and the lives of her family and friends and which are inserted into the story. There is a mini prologue, which involves Susie’s memory of her father and the snow globe. This causes...

...Molly Wilder Professor Barros FYS: Revised essay 1 October 5, 2011 Silence is Power It was a beautiful Sunday morning and the entire church of St. Louis in Batesville, Indiana, was full. There was nothing unusual about the Catholic mass that day—the congregation was alive, music echoed triumphantly, and the sermon was enthusiastic and thought provoking for all. Everything went as it typically does until the end when it was time for the weekly announcements. Instead of news about an upcoming fish fry or a congratulations message for a recently baptized newborn baby in the parish, one of our priests, Father Stephen, came out of the vestibule to the podium. He had recently been “demoted” in his role at the parish, but no one would have expected the extent to which his bitter words would be revealed to the congregation. Father Stephen stood at the podium on the altar while giving his speech of resignation from the parish. It was clear that he was frustrated and annoyed at his recent demotion, and he portrayed this dissatisfaction through a harsh speech. The purpose of this essay is to examine the discourse of the priest’s speech. I will discuss its passionate nature and its brevity--how the speaker conceals information from the listeners and what this means. We will use this evidence to argue how silence demonstrates more power than the actual power the priest possesses. * 1 2 3 1 2 3 “Over the past 25 years of my Priestly ordination and service, I have never...

...ABSTRACT: This report explores critical discourse analysis as a theory in rhetoric discourse and speech act and pragmatics. The framework of analysis includes the mixture of my own ideas and theory of various experts such and Aristotle, Tuan Van Dijk, H.P Grice and Robert Dilts. As critical discourse analysis is a very flexible term of social linguistic study and it allows one to go with the own ideas, here I have chosen suitable analytical tool of experts to analyze the two different discourse, one is verbal discourse ( Tryst with Destiny) and second is written discourse ( Toyoda’s statement 2013) and at the end comparison of both discourse. Key words: critical discourse analysis, rhetoric discourse, speech act, pragmatics, social linguistic, tryst with destiny, Toyoda’s statement 2013. INTRODUCTION Critical discourse analysis (CDA) comprises three inter-related processes of analysis which are linked up with three inter-related dimensions of discourse. Three inter-related process of analysis. 1) Text analysis (description) 2) Processing analysis ( interpretation) 3) Social analysis ( explanation) Three inter-related dimensions of CDA. 1) Discourse structure (systematically and explicitly described structure at all level) 2) Social structure (in the context of society) 3) Cognitive structure ( mental cognitive interface) The three dimensions of CDA is coherently related with each other to make up a substantial discourse where mental cognitive...

...food. Food safety is a program that seeks to streamline the handling of food to prevent food poisoning. For this paper, the context of mass production of food is assumed. Food poisoning is not only a health hazard but also leads to loss to such an organization that is involved in food production. Poor food storage and handling is expensive. For instance, it results to loss to the organization in terms of food going bad in mass or in small quantities. On the other hand, it leads to food poisoning especially for when consumed which may result to losses and heavy litigation costs and damages. This makes it necessary to institute food safety mechanisms during handling and storage. Food safety is a process and not a one-off activity. It is a mechanism that ensures that at every stage, handling and storage is monitored to ensure that no compromises are made. There are a number of systems that are employed to facilitate food safety. For instance, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) are the most commonly used systems of assuring food safety. GMP is a process employed at processing plants to ensure that pre-packaged food is developed in hygienic processes. HACCP strategy HACCP is a program that is widely used in enhancing food safety. It is a system that employs control of temperature at various critical control points. In this case, food is kept at a particular range of temperatures which are considered safe. HACCP...

...NAME SHIMPEKE COURSE FOOD SERVICE MANAGEMENT 1.Management cannot supervise effectively beyond a limited number of persons and determination of the appropriate number is difficult. Explain the factors involved in determining the proper number. (20 marks) The number of persons that management can effectively supervise and oversee in business is indeed one difficult to determine and there is no tangible, workable formula that cab be universally applied to arrive at the ideal figure. This is because there are a number of factors involved which vary across industry type, individuals, and so forth. (Urwick, L.E.1956) Span of control is a term in business management, usually in human resource management. Span of control refers to the number of subordinates who report directly to a given manager or supervisor; the more people under the control of one manager. (Koontz, H.1966) - the wider the span of control. Less means a narrower span of control. The factors affecting this aspect and that need to be considered before an ideal number is obtained are as follows: Geographical dispersion; the geographical dispersion is when the branches of a certain business are widely dispersed. Then the managers will find it difficult to supervise each of them, because the span of control will be smaller. (Koontz, H.1966) Capability of workers; the capability of workers is important is important in that if workers are highly capable, they do not require much supervision and can be left on their...
