...IV Demonstrate and Apply Knowledge of Basic Skills “This year you will be doing a lot of creative writing.” Mrs. Phelps introduced her class with at the start of my junior year. I had always been keen to free writing for the single reason that it was easy to fluff up and fabricate. As long as it was in MLA format and grammar was correct, I could not lose. I had discovered early on in my academic career that I was a decent writer; I could establish main points and a theme as well as apply proper grammar. It speaks for my writing that I was agitable to misusers of “there, their, and they’re” to say the least. The only criticism on writing prompts I would get were technical ones, like using apostrophes incorrectly or writing the number rather than spelling it. Yet, marked in red at the top of my first paper junior year was something I had not expected, nor seen before-- “Where is your voice?” My voice? I was not mute, so what kind of question was that? I thought about it all class period and looked for the flaw within the paper. All i had to work with was that obscure note and I thought about the question again and again-- I even began...

...I demonstrate strong leadership skills inside and outside of the college. The experience that I want to highlight the most is peer tutoring. The nature of the flex-classroom makes it difficult for the student to talk to the teacher individually. It is typically difficult as there is limited number of teachers for thirty or so students. So, I decided to give help for my peers that are finding their studies difficult. I answered questions and provided constructive feedback. My contribution made the waiting time to see the teacher shorter. The students with a small question will ask me rather than spending time with the teacher, which allowed the teacher to devote his or her time to a student that has more serious matter. My leadership skills...

...1. Define effective communication in the setting of a church. Cite three examples of typical church events that require effective communication. Communicating effectively in a church setting means the speaker provides a message that allows the power of the Word and Spirit to be articulated and understood through thoughtful persuasion and style, along with sound reasoning of the Gospel, while preaching genuinely and fervently, reflecting one’s true personality (Merida, 2010, p. 168-169). Three church events that require effective communication include Sunday morning worship, Bible study groups, and Men’s/Women’s Retreats. 2. In your experience, how do church leaders demonstrate effective communication skills? Cite three examples of ineffective communication skills within the church emphasizing why you consider each ineffective. Church...

...Thus, simply valuing everyone faithfully and equally is the most fundamental aspect of the Kingdom of God. Specifies How did Jesus demonstrate the Kingdom of God? Jesus overthrew many centuries of Jewish gender discrimination laws and customs by consistently treating women equally to men with acceptance, love and compassion, evidently this demonstrates the key values of the Kingdom of God. Luke 13:16 describes how Jesus publicly healed a woman from an indwelling Satanic spirit and called her a daughter of Abraham, honouring her and implying that she had equal status with the sons of Abraham. Moreover, Jesus taught female students even though the Jewish tradition at the time denied women of an education (Luke 10:38-42) describes Jesus teaching Mary, sister of Martha. In 1st century Palestine Rabbi Eliezer wrote "Rather should the words of the Torah be burned than entrusted to a woman...Whoever teaches his daughter the Torah is like one who teaches her obscenity." This evidence clearly demonstrates that Jesus went against the cultural and social norms and educated women, healed women, publicly honoured women and used language, which indicated an equal status between men and women. Hence, regardless of the traditional social conventions, Jesus justly extended his incredible respect and honour to all of society, including women, which clearly demonstrates the integral values of the Kingdom of God, risking everything to fairly value all your neighbours. (What is the relevance of the...

...In this essay I will be describing the ways in which the Walt Disney Company can be used to demonstrate globalisation. Globalisation is the process by which people, their cultures, money, goods and information can be transferred between countries with few or no barriers. There is many ways in which the Walt Disney Company does this, as will be seen in the paragraphs further on; through theme parks, animations, cruise ships, tour guides and technology. The Disney Company was founded by Walt Disney in 1923, when he moved to California and broke into the animation business. One key way that Disney can be used to demonstrate globalisation is through some of the earliest animations produced by the company. One example that particularly demonstrates globalisation well is the 1940 ‘Fantasia’ film. This film is significant because it was the first ever film for children that didn’t require numerous translations after it was developed, simply because there were no words. This meant children and adults all around the globe could enjoy this film about a mouse as it transferred through all countries throughout the world. Many of Disney’s other famous films also demonstrate globalisation, because of the fact that they all represent different cultures and have backdrops from places all over the world for example; Africa with the Lion King, Arabia with Aladdin, China with Mulan, England with Peter Pan and many more. This meant everyone who watched these films gained an understanding on the...

...How does Poe use sounds and sight to demonstrate the Narrator’s madness? This story is narrated by the main character, who is clearly insane. This is shown by Edgar Allan Poe throughout the story by using the narrator’s acute and distorted senses. The narrator starts by claiming he is not mad because he executes plans in an orderly manner, however, the reason to kill the man is ridiculous, he claims “I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture –a pale blue eye, with a film over it, whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold.” which also demonstrates how the author, turns a simple image into something that deeply troubles the narrator, when in reality there is no reason or threat at all, which demonstrates the irrational fear the narrator has. In addition, he claims he is not mad because his senses are stronger and he now hears all the sounds in “heaven and in earth. I heard many things in hell” Which is impossible and irrelevant to his “sane” plan. Furthermore, Edgar Allan Poe displays an inner conflict of guilt, which any human would have but in the case of the narrator, it manifests as non existent sounds, almost like in a schizophrenic manner. The narrator obviously imagines the sounds of the heart as he has killed the old man, which demonstrates his mental health is in such bad state, that his emotions manifest into sounds that cannot possibly be real “ Yet the sound increased –and what could I do It was a low, dull, quick sound. . . .” This,...

...‘The failures of environmental multilateralism demonstrate the need for a World Environment Organisation.’ Critically evaluate this claim. One of the main challenges that face environmental politics today is a significant lack of integration between the global governance structures that address ecological matters. The international trade system has some of the most powerful institutional actors, such as the World Trade Organisation, where legal rules are supported by a dispute resolution body, trade sanctions, as well as the power to authorise other retaliation tactics when a country does not comply with a ruling (Eckersley 2003.) In contrast, the existing multilateral framework for environmental politics provides a fragmented, and incoherent arrangement to govern some of the most important ecological issues. Organisations like the United Nations Environmental Programme, for example, are supported by voluntary member state contributions, and lack the financial foundation, as well as the legal mandate to express sound environmental policy-making. As quoted by Eckersley (2003), “judged in terms of size and teeth, we might regard the WTO as a large tiger and MEAs as a ragged collection of small cats” (pp. 2.) This paper makes the case for a reorganisation of environmental governance, with the specific transformation of UNEP into a World Environment Organisation (WEO.) A WEO is argued to be able to provide an authoritative voice and force to issues of the global commons...

...A business executive can demonstrate virtue when dealing with a disgruntled shareholder at the annual meeting. Virtue in ethics focuses on the moral character of the decision maker. The executive will need to use their life to learn and reciprocate virtue. There are many different traits an executive could have. The executive must be a good citizen, businessman, and virtuous acting given any situation. First, being a good citizen is important. Always being as selfless as possible. By practicing this in society it will help you to maintain your selflessness in an argument or disagreement in any situation. The executive,prior to and while being a citizen, will have also learned morals and how to stick with them. While always applying morality in decisions made in society as a citizen, the executive has reinforced using this decision making process at work as well. Morals and selflessness that were learned as a citizen will carry over to work life to help manage a disgruntled shareholder. Second, being a virtuous businessman is even more practice at handling a disgruntled shareholder. When the executive is always moral at work, no matter the situation, the executive is prepared for arguments that arise while being able to show their real character traits. Being able to be virtuous in business decisions will show the shareholder that they have the best moral character and help discourage them from even being disgruntled. Finally, always acting in a virtuous way...

...In what ways does the language and imagery of Antony’s speech demonstrate his manipulation of the crowd? In Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Mark Antony’s speech at Caesar’s funeral, despite all his protestations to the contrary, is fuelled by one purpose: vengeance to those who murdered his beloved Caesar. He uses combinations of verbal irony, repetitive diction, and heavy emphasis on emotions to sway his audience. He does so without guilt or remorse towards the people to whom the crowd will direct their wrath. Not only does he think of nothing but revenge, he convinces the crowd that he wants no harm to come to Caesar’s murderers. Antony starts by saying ‘If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.’ By beginning in a calm manner, it shows that he thinks this is a very sad moment, instead of making everyone angry. Also, the word ‘prepare’ is an effectively used word, as it is like an instruction for them that they must feel sorry. Antony then shows his personal bond to Caesar when he says, ‘Twas on a summer’s evening, in his tent, that day he overcame the Nervii.’ This shows that Antony and the people have similar memories of Caesar’s success, looking back at his triumph. This is mainly shown in the word, ‘that’. By saying this, he also shows that this was just one of the triumphs Caesar had, and he had a lot more to offer. Moreover, he explains that he was a nice person and yet a success. The line, ‘Oh what a fall,’ means it affected us all, which influences the point that...

...Evanson Michel Fiction Paper 2/11/13 ENG 113 "More than meets the eye". Most are fimliar with the saying, but what does it mean? It means you have to search beyond what you see, there is a deeper meaning behind a story. This is the essence of sybmlism. I will be analizing the sybolism in the short story Hills like White Elephants. The story by Ernest Hemingway is about a couple who are disussing a abortion procedure, but it is not made so obviuos to the reader. As a result the author uses symbolism to communicate main ideas in the stroy through setting, description and dialouge. The setting of the story uses symbolism to give the reader hints about main ideas. For example, the story takes place near a railraod, which symbolizes couples relationship is at a crossroad. The man and jig are disagreeing on the abortion of the baby. The man wants to have the abortion, while jig is relectant to giving the baby up so easily. Another example is the landcape, the author goes on to write how jig notices the lines of hills. The hills looked white againts the brown and dry valley (Roberts, Zweig 350).The white hills that contrast with brown and dry barren valley represent the choice between life and death. Jig either has to keep the baby, life, or the abort the baby, death. When jig walks to other the end of the station, the author descibes the fields of grain and trees along the Ebro river (Roberts, Zweig 352). This symbolizes the life in her belly...

...I will demonstrate standard precautions that would be used to prevent the spread of infection in health and social care setting. Standard precautions are put into place to reduce the risk of infection spreading. They are the basic level of infection control precautions which are used, as a minimum, in any health and social care setting. All health and social care workplaces should comply to the infection control principles and practices. Hand hygiene is a major component of standard precautions and it is one of the most effective methods to prevent the spread of infection. Hand hygiene is extremely important; you should ensure that when washing your hands you use warm water and soap. For example after using the restroom you must wash your hands to avoid the risk of infection. All workplaces must provide hand-washing facilities with clean running water. Also the use of protective equipment should be guided by risk assessment and the extent of contact anticipated with blood, body fluids and pathogens. For example wearing gloves when touching blood, body fluids, secretions, excretions and mucous membranes, you should always change the gloves between tasks and procedures on the same patient after contact with potentially infectious material. Ensure you remove after use, before touching non-contaminated items and surfaces, and before going to another patient. You must always wash your hands immediately after removal. Another example could be a gown, which protects the skin from...

...In what ways does the language and imagery of the speech demonstrate Antony’s manipulation of the crowd? (Act3:Scene2) In this scene, we again see the fickle nature of the Roman people, who follow whoever is the most powerful. Brutus make an error when he speaks first, and then leaves. Antony then manipulates the crowd to the point where they want to riot and take revenge. At first, we see that Brutus thinks will be able to calm the crowd, so that a neat transition of power can happen. But Antony understands the strategies of gaining power, and sees that an angry mob who are against the conspirators will help him, and hinder Brutus. Shakespeare writes Brutus’ speech in prose, so it is more down-to-earth for the crowd, with less ordered structure. He speaks to defend and explain the conspirators’ actions. It is all very formal, with complicated phrasing. He speaks about himself, his reasons, and how Caesar was never that great. He begins with “Romans, countrymen, and lovers, hear me for my cause”. He puts the country before friendship, as he is very patriotic, and wants all for the good of the Roman Empire. He continues this point when he says “If then that friend demand why Brutus/rose against Caesar, this is my answer: not that I loved Caesar less, / but that I loved Rome more”. He uses emotional blackmail in rhetorical questions to get the crowd on his side. He asks “Had you rather Caesar were living, and /die all slaves, than Caesar were dead, to live all freemen?.../////...
