Although as a society we often judge people by their professions and how much money they earn, it does not cover the whole story of success. For example, someone who works hard to open a business is more successful than one who simply inherits it from a successful parent. Furthermore, fulfilling a dream of starting a business, singing in a...

...familiar with rhetorical choices. Rhetorical choices play an important role in writing. They’re the “key ingredients” in a paper in order to capture readers’ attention and achieve writers’ purposes. When I was in Human Resource Organization Behaviors 101 class, professor Thomas Shirley assigned an ethics case for each group. I joined a group of five people and we got together for several group meetings. Finally, I was assigned to compose the “Ethical Analysis” section. Toward to the paper deadline, we produced the paper called “Starbucks: Friend or Foe.” The purpose of the assignment was to argue that whether the company’s decision was ethical when Starbucks fired employees for supporting unions and applied the four-component model of ethical decision making to this case. Discourse community is an essential factor when composing a paper. According to “Students Writing Handbook”, discourse community is a unique communication tool which people use to communicate with their readers within their fields (30). Since the paper was written for a required upper division major core course, the discourse community is all business majors. The genre was a general business paper with three sections: case summary, ethical analysis, and recommendations. We are college students are trained to become more professional in our careers. As a result, my group paper’s intended audiences were only Professor Thomas Shirley and classmates. My purpose of the paper was to convince my readers that Starbucks...

...than city living. STATE POSITION CLEARLY: The environment of a rural life style, the peace, and quiet, the beauty of nature, and the calming effect that it has on one’s mind and body, is the reason that people prefer living in the country rather than in the city. TRANSITION TO ESSAY BODY (THESIS): People prefer to live in the country because there are many advantages, and simple pleasures that can only be attained by living there. PRO REASON 1: There are no traffic jams in the country, and people need not travel to experience the wonders that nature has to offer. SUPPORTING EVIDENCE: There is no traffic in the country, so typically, the sound of passing cars, and trucks is not heard as frequent as in the city. The load noise of the sirens from fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances, as they rush by, are also far and few in between. Less traffic means there is also less pollution in the country. SUPPORTING EVIDENCE: Houses are surrounded by nature which has a calming effect on a person’s body and mind. Exotic plants, butterflies, birds, and rabbits can be seen outside the window and in the yard. Wildlife, such as deer and coyotes, tend to roam...

...Title: Euthanasia Specific purpose: To persuade my audience that euthanasia should be legalized. Thesis: Euthanasia is about giving people their rights, cuts down on medical bills, and it also stops people from suffering. I. INTRODUCTION A. Attention getter : Imagine yourself being unable to walk, unable to see, and can barely breathe let alone speak. Your life was well lived all those years before. You are in such unbearable pain that you can’t even cry. Although your family is there for your every step of the way you begin to think, could ending your life be the answer to the pain? You are in more pain than you can bear. There is no way that you could function without assistance. You think and feel as if your life has no meaning. Well in all reality this isn’t something anyone needs to imagine. This is a real situation for many, many people. These people should be able to make their own choices and have control of their own lives. B. Background information of the topic: Euthanasia is a term still new to many of us. It is a Greek term meaning ‘good death’. It means self imposed death in a relatively painless and merciful way. Euthanasia is categorized in different ways, which include voluntary, non-voluntary, or involuntary and active or passive. Euthanasia is usually used to refer to active euthanasia, and in this sense, euthanasia is usually considered to be criminal homicide, but voluntary, passive euthanasia is widely non-criminal. C.

...Choices and Consequences The Number 1 choice is Jerry, the father, offers the best utilitarianism of hope and use of his life to help his children and family and the best longevity of life given he has essentially been healthy except for the damage done to his heart from the Steroids some 20 to 30 years earlier. His wife and children play no part in the decision in him getting the heart. It all has to do with his health, and ability to live a life after he receives it. And also some other facts which should be considered like life expectancy, importance, age etc. when deciding on whom to donate the heart to. He’s cause for damage to the heart was the steroids, of which he was unaware of the consequences of taking the steroids at the time he took so there wasn’t any sort of health irresponsibility known otherwise. His chances to live 10-15 more years are very high so it’s one point investing in him. He has a family to take care of, wife and the 3 kids who he has to support till they are on their feet and so forth. He also has been a good supporting father as he’s already being supporting their dreams career wise and the future. So my first choice with all confidence would be Jerry. The number 2 choice is Ozzie because as LONG as he does not get back on his old ways HE does hold out some hope on society as a whole as long he does NOT revert back and does good in society by helping out and he no longer does any drugs - he really can have a useful and a prosperous and productive...

...Tina Clouse 5/13/14 Being a college student is truly an exhilarating, exciting, but also tiresome choice, I have made the decision to go back to college for the third and final time. It truly does seem as though it has gotten harder and harder to be a student over the years, and now I have the opportunity to reflect upon why this seems to be the case. After taking somewhat of a hiatus from school, I was given the idea from above, the strength from within, and the support of my family, friends, and co-workers to go back to college for my masters in what I have finally found to be my true passion. As a social case worker I will have the opportunity to work with battered and abused woman and children, and be given the opportunity to help law enforcement prosecute those you have offended. Being a single mother of five wondrous children and the opportunity to be the mother figure in so many other children’s lives has given me the foresight, the working knowledge as well, as the wisdom and compassion to help woman and children who have been victimized. The reason that I made this decision to go back to school to receive my masters degree comes from a multitude of facets. From all of my children supporting me emotionally, my fiancé supporting me in every way that a man should, to the support from the rest of my family friends, I felt as though it was more simply put, just my calling to do this. Although there are so many positive outcomes I can foresee from this decision, as...

...I wrote a paper supporting a candidate for presidency. In the paper I wrote why people should vote for the candidate I am supporting and not her opponent. What I did in my paper was compare and contrast the two candidates. I also wrote a lot on why voting for her opponent is not a good choice. My argument is full of logical fallacies therefore it is not a good argument. One logical fallacy I used in my paper was “He talks about reducing taxes but how can we listen when we know he cheated on his wife with three different women”. This is a logical fallacy because I am distracting the readers from the main point. This would be considered a red herring. Another example of red herring in my paper is “Yes Karen Xue is a divorced woman, but really...

...Immersion Project Pre-event: I selected for my immersion project to visit two halfway homes that provide services to persons suffering from the disease of addiction. In reflecting on this choice it will allow me to experience a culture within my chosen field of practice. The first location I selected was a halfway house that was local and follows a typical model of addiction halfway house. The second location that was selected was in Wilmington North Carolina. I selected this location for two reasons. The first reason was that it was going to be necessary for me to complete part of the project while on vacation and the location was in the area I would be staying in. The second reason was that it was a Christian based recovery house. I felt that this would give me a wider and more diverse experience. Once the two locations were selected I made initial contact with the directors of the respective location and scheduled appointments. Prior to my experience I did research on addiction, homelessness, and halfway houses. I was able to find peer reviewed research which provided me with some basic knowledge of stigma associated with these type of facilities. My research also provided me with some statistical facts supporting the need and advantages of having and supporting halfway houses. I was expecting to see a diverse population within the houses. I expected different ethnic, racial and religious differences. I was of the belief that the living conditions would...
