But are we overlooking the benefits when it comes to processing higher education? There are many reasons why people learn a foreign language: it can may help you obtain a career in the path of your choosing, increases chances of a promotion, and helps you connect and communicate with many people. However, these benefits tend to be realized after the early stages of one’s education journey. Moreover, a student’s overall interest in learning; in general dwindles over time. By the time a student reaches high school they tend to do the bare minimum to graduate, and that includes taking a foreign language. A student’s interest and attitude toward education greatly effects their success in school and/or life. “We need to get kids interest in learning, to show how it relates to life in the real world...they don’t see the significance …” (Wilson, R. 1988) even though Wilson’s statement is in regards to employment after graduating high school. The same can be applied to, learning a foreign language. Form experience, while in a conversation about learning languages; I often hear “Why are you learning that? You don’t need it right now. Everybody’s learning English.” However, I can see overall benefits beyond the, obtaining a career in the path of your...

...The Unethical Act of Plagiarism Colorado Technical University Eng103-1401A-03 Composition Writing and Research Plagiarism is an Unethical punishable act. Whether you are writing a research paper, business article, executive summary or school essay, it is imperative that you no not utilize an author’s words without giving the original author credit for his or her work. To plagiarize work is the same as stealing from a store, you are taking what does not belong to you.

R., Picard, R. G., & McMasters, P. (2004).) The scandal of plagiarism was so great that soon after Jayson Blair resigned the executive and managing editors also resigned their positions. Jayson Blair’s unethical act not only affected his career, it also cost the jobs and reputations of the two editors.

(2005). Plagiarism is not only limited to the stealing of another authors words, but also the manner that the...

...Nicholas Aesch ENG103 (9:30) Ms. Kolsrud November 14, 2013 Into The Wild “Christopher McCandless's Influences, Relationships, and Preparation forAlaskas survival.” The influences from the authors and books chris read, shows us all how he related himself from the quotes that are in this book. Chris carved in to a piece of wood that was discovered on the bus at the scene of chris' death, that Jack London is KING, and also used a passage from White Fang (9). The passage chris read says, Dark spruce forest frowned on either side the frozen waterway. The trees had been stripped by a recent wind of their white covering of frost, and they seemed to lean toward each other, black and ominous, in the fading light. A vast silence reigned over the land. The land itself was a desolation, lifeless, without movement, so lone and cold that the spirit of it was not even that of sadness. There was a hint in it of laughter, but of a laughter more terrible than any sadness-a laughter that was mirthless as the smile of the Sphinx, a laughter cold as the frost and partaking of the grimness of infallibility. It was the masterful and incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of life and the effort of life. It was the Wild, the savage, frozen- hearted Northland Wild (JACK LONDON, White Fang) (9). Chris related to this passage because it described what his present surroundings were exactually like. The passage from Leo Tolstoy tittled “Family Happiness” was also found with...
