...It was the day of Halloween and I was making food for my halloween party. We were going to have 30 people over so we needed a lot of food. I began by making the cupcakes. For the mix you needed to put in eggs, olive oil and water in and mix and it becomes your cupcake batter. I then put the mix in a cupcake tin and put them in the oven to bake for 15 minutes. After the cupcakes were in the oven I went over and started to make mummy dogs. You needed to cook the hot dogs on the grill and when you are finished you cut strips of croissants and wrap them around the hot dogs. After I finished that I put ketchup on the hot dog for eyes. The next thing I had to make was the candy corn punch. I got out mason jars and put orange and black striped straws...

...academic writing. During my semester of Intro to Expository Writing, my academic writing has greatly improved. My writing started as “Elementary school was like a fairytale; there was a pretty princess and a handsome prince, but I was an evil villain.” And has grown to “Through her diction, Walls creates various tones in order to convey to her audience that despite obstacles, it is possible to escape from a dysfunctional family in hopes of a brighter future.” Using How to Say Nothing in 500 Words, I will be evaluating my own writing by discussing my strengths, weaknesses, and how I have grown as a writer. Writing narratives have always been a personal struggle for me. Unless I passionately come up with a story, and immediately write it on paper, my narratives are bland. It is hard to write personal life-changing stories when I have a deadline. One weakness of mine is using colorful words. For example, a sentence from my personal narrative was written as “It was magnificent with its stained green carpet and plenty of wooden bookshelves stocked with colorful books.” In retrospect, this is how it could have been written, “The spacious library had wooden bookshelves stuffed with leather-bound books, which rested on gritty emerald carpet.”...

...Running Head: MARKETING DEFINITION Marketing Definition Paper University of Phoenix MKT 421 October 31, 2006 Marketing Definition Paper When most people think of marketing they think of advertisements and commercials. This is partially true though there are differences amongst advertising products and marketing. According to the American Marketing Association (2006), “Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders.” This view is similar to other definitions such as MSN Encarta Dictionary. The dictionary depicts marketing as “selling of products or services: the business activity of presenting products or services in such a way as to make them desirable” (MSN, 2006). Though most people would settle for these definitions a personal definition is “Marketing are the activities such as marketing research and the 4 P’s (price, product, promotion, place) that are linked to a specific product and the target markets wants and needs. Marketing is the act of satisfying customers beyond the competitor’s abilities.” Marketing and Organizational Success Many areas intertwine to create a successful organization. Marketing is one area that intertwines with almost every aspect of a company such as sales, accounting and finance, customer service, and internal and external publics. Marketing is a...

Sun Yunxiao, deputy director of the China Youth Research Center, said filial piety entails respecting and caring for parents and other aged relatives, not obeying them. "Children should learn to understand and respect their parents, but when parents require their children to do everything they want them to do, filial piety becomes a shackle," he said. Xiong Bingqi, deputy director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, a private, nonprofit policy research body, worried that the program will consist of nothing but empty talk if it is merely based on textbooks. "It's useless to read classic moral teachings if children don't have enough of a chance to practice them in daily life," Xiong said. Nowadays, a lot of parents in China only care about children's academic performance and the only thing children need to do is to get high scores in exams, he said. Xiong said parents should encourage their children to do housework to teach children about sharing family responsibilities. Editorsns in brife civilians and one ...

It is about the adventure of an unnamed protagonist as he ventures in London while the Martian are invading the Earth. The setting of the Novel is in the time of the Victorian England and is one of the earliest stories that involved an extraterrestrial race. It has two parts: The Coming of Martians, and The Earth under the Martians. The Mercury group, which was led by Orson Welles, adapted in their show “Mercury Theatre on the Air” the science fiction novel The War of the Worlds by H.G Wells for the airing of their Halloween show in the night of October 30, 1938. Orson Wells and his writer Howard Koch revised the novel to have the elements of a radio play and made it to sound like real news broadcast. The group aired the show in time with their rival radio broadcast “Chase and Sanbourn Hour” in an attempt to increase their listenership status. Before they even started the radio play, an announcer informed the listeners that they will feature the imaginative novel. However, regardless of the radio show’s disclosure, the play stimulated various responses. During and even after the airing of the program, millions...

...tend to interact with one another in a variety of social roles, and have a closer relationship with one another. While this may seem like a very safe place to raise a family, Newman, Fox, Harding, Mehta, and Roth claim, in Rampage (2005), that the small-town atmosphere was an imperative factor in the Jonesboro, Arkansas shooting. At the same time that tight-knit communities make it easier for information to spread from person to person, they also make it easier for people to make assumptions. Andrew Golden committed a school shooting at Westside Middle School with Mitchell Johnson, in Jonesboro, Arkansas on March 24, 1998. Psychopaths, like Andrew Golden, often present themselves well, being likable and even charismatic. During their research, a neighbor commented, “Andrew was a sweet child whenever his parents...

...wreak terror because children believe that the once-dead can reappear. At haunted houses, children dip their hands in buckets of cold noodles and spaghetti sauce. Even if you tell them what they touched, they know they felt guts. And children surmise that with the right Halloween makeup, costume and demeanor, they can frighten even the most skeptical adult. We do grow up. We get jobs. We have children of our own. Along the way, we lose our tendencies toward magical thinking. Or at least we think we do. Several streams of research in psychology, neuroscience and philosophy are converging on an uncomfortable truth: We’re more susceptible to magical thinking than we’d like to admit. Consider the quandary facing college students in a clever demonstration of magical thinking. An experimenter hands you several darts and instructs you to throw them at different pictures. Some depict likable objects (for example, a baby), others are neutral (for example, a face-shaped circle). Would your performance differ if you lobbed darts at a baby? It would. Performance plummeted when people threw the darts at the baby. Laura A. King, the psychologist at the University of Missouri who led this investigation, notes that research participants have a “baseless concern that a picture of an object shares an essential relationship with the object itself.” Paul Rozin, a psychology...

...Martin Lynch 10/28/2013 SOC 3200 Getting Society Inside The culture that was instilled in me since I was born was two families, my mother’s and father’s. My father’s family is of Irish Catholic descent and my mother’s family is of Italian Catholic descent. I was born and raised on the Southside of Chicago and I do still refer to that beautiful city as home. All of my beliefs and values are a result of these two families, but as I have grown up it is amazing how similar they could be and how different they can be. I know for an absolute fact there are two values that are agreed on by the Irish and the Italians. Those would be an undying work ethic and a strong Christian foundation. I remember being five years old and my father saying, “You are either working hard or hardly working.” It was not just expected by my family to work hard, it was demanded. If you wanted money, you went out and got it. I was a golf caddy for about eight years and still to this day go when I need some extra cash and also worked at a Chili’s restaurant throughout high school while playing two sports and a member of the Honor Roll. My siblings and I were never allowed to leave the house until our homework and chores were done. It was an expectation by not just my parents but my family as a whole to be hard working productive members of society who respected their elders and treated people with the utmost respect. Growing up it was expected to go to church every Sunday and thank God for what...

...Cross Cultural Psychology Christina Williams Psychology 450 Glorivy Arce November 14, 2010 Abstract This paper will attempt to analyze cross-cultural and cultural psychology. It will examine the relationship between both, discuss the role of critical thinking in cross- cultural psychology, and discuss the methodology associated with cross-cultural research. Culture is a full range of behavior patterns (N.A. 2010, p. 1). Culture can be distinguished by a set of beliefs and attitudes from a given generation (Shiraev, & Levy 2010, p. 2). It is a way of life passed down from generation to generation. Cross-cultural psychology deals with the culture and human behavior. In today’s society cross-cultural psychologists investigate how culture affects individuals everywhere. Cross Cultural Psychology Cultural and Cross- Cultural Psychology “Culture is a set of attitudes, behaviors and symbols shared by a large group of people and usually communicated from one generation to the next (Shiraev & Levy, 2010p2). Before reaching adulthood individuals learn how to understand their environment according to his parents.” Culture is a full range of learned behavior patterns”(N.A., 2010, p .1). We notice individuals of African, Japanese, Italian descent; individuals are referring to the customs and ideals that their parents used. It has become a way of life passed down from generation to generation. “ in most cases, those who share your culture do so because they acquired it...
