...Technology has helped for the media to be almost instant. I mean, when something bad or good happens we are informed almost instantly. I can't really think about any differences between media vs. vulgar buffoons, since both do not stop at nothing. Media cannot stop to deliver a bad note, their purpose is to inform even do the information can be painful. The boorish, are those who would never say anything themselves to raise a laugh, and even object when other people do it. I would like to compare them to our Independent party. They seem to be a neutral party and doesn't really care about government. However, in any election/campaign they can determine the winner or loser. Since they're so unpredictable. The witty are those who joke in appropriate ways, like Democrats. In occasions boorish can also be compared to Republicans. Both parties enjoy amusements and are thought cultivated. However, they differ insofar as one is concerned with truth, the others with what is pleasant. One of those concerned with pleasure is found in amusement, and...

...effective, so to say. But there are some techniques and tips for turning your humor into managerial success. Not every type of humor can be appropriate. The “What” section of this study deals with a general background about humor. Questions like why we should use humor, whether we should use it at all, etc. will be answered in the “Why” section of this paper. And finally, the “How” section will explore some basic rules on how to use humor in the workplace appropriately. There will be some suggestions even for managers who lack a sense of humor. So, enjoy and remember the most important aspect of humor in the workplace: Your employees should laugh with you, not at you! WHAT Humor is a quintessentially social phenomenon, since every joke requires both a teller and an audience. A sense of humor is a different and positive perspective on events and things. It can be utilized as an instrument to develop an atmosphere that is conductive to motivation. Laughter itself has physical, emotional, and moral benefits. Humorous people tend to be more adaptive, more capable of handling stress, more intelligent and more analytical. They are also more open, articulate, and optimistic. A survey conducted among Fortune 500 Company executives revealed that a sense of humor is the third most important factor needed to succeed in business. A sense of humor is nothing more than a different perspective, a more positive spin on things. This study will examine how humor can be a strong managerial...

...Bark. Here is a sample essay for you to not look at. Thanks. In order for this to be long enough, I need to have two hundred and fifty words. Let’s see how far I can get without using any extra spaces or numbers. How are you? I am good. What is the weather like over there? It’s about fifty degrees and we have not gotten snow in about two weeks. How far are you? About eighty words so far. Quite a few more for me to go. What do you think? Hm… I suppose that I can continue to listen to Eminem. Or is it Slim Shady? Only the shadow knows. Speaking of shadows, do you know if a tree falls in a forest and no one is there, does it make a sound? Yes it does, of course. I can also tell jokes. What do you call a lazy kangaroo? A pouch potato! Yes, I know that was a bad joke. I also have more jokes if you would like to hear. Here is more of my essay. How far now? About one hundred and eighty nine words. Yep. Everything looks like it is eight mile now. Really? It is a lot safer in this area than downtown Detroit. Did you know that Detroit is not as dangerous as people seem to believe that it is? Actually Hamtramck is much worse. People have to lock their doors as they drive through the city since people will come up to one’s car and try and take parts off of it as it moves. Scary, huh?

...MGMT410: Human Resource Management DeVry University 1/14/15 1. In this day and age, social media plays a big part in our lives. For this assignment, we were required to find an article where an employee was terminated for something posted on social media. While doing research, I found an article about a former KFC employee who was terminated for that reason. The former employee posted a picture of herself licking a plate of mashed potatoes. This photo quickly surfaced and was shared on the Facebook page of a lot of people. There were several comments from people wondering if these potatoes were severed to customers. A company representative said that the potatoes were not served to customers. 2. Personally, whether it was a joke or not, the employees behavior was unacceptable. I definitely would not want anyone joking around with the food I am going to eat. With all the violations fast food chains receive; the last thing a customer needs is an employee using food to get a quick laugh. 3. If this situation was to occur at a place where I worked, I am sure the rest of the employees would get their act together. At the end of the day, this is their place of employment and they probably have families to care for. They would definitely take their jobs more seriously. This situation would lead to better employee relations. 4. To prevent further situations like this, I would sit down with the current employees and make them aware of how something so small as a picture...

..."Naturally," he agreed with a little nod, "I mean who orders a drink just because they personally like the taste. It is all about winning the approval of complete strangers when it comes to a drink." He laughed at her comment about how hard girls had to work for a free drink, "Well you got to know your audience, I could tell that my natural charm wouldn't work on someone as clever as you, so I decided that if I was going to hit a brick wall, I might as well do it running head first." He had hoped that this banter would at least keep her interested in him for a few minutes, but before he could even answer her next question she was off back to her seat. It was not a complete dismissal of him yet though, he knew the get lost stare better than...

...them jokes in a very impolite way, they usually insult one's physical. This is the problem of the politeness degradation and this problem is getting worse. It is ironic, so many entertainers become popular or much more popular because they do rude and impolite jokes and the targets of the entertainers are young people that later will become the model of the next young people. Many young people who are still labile or unstable and usually still do not know how to behave but they love to watch television very much become love at joking in this way very much because it has become one of the trends of young people in their daily. Nowadays, there are some television shows that have entertainers or hosts who are often and tend to joke in rude and impolite way. The ways they joke often make someone or a group offended. One of the most controversial cases was when a celebrity couple broke up because of jokes in a television show. The celebrity couple broke up is A&B and A’s partner is Z. “Aku sering ribut karena ketersinggungan saya di acara itu” (I used to get mad because I am offended at the show) said B, when she was interviewed by a reporter. She told A that she could not take it anymore and wanted to leave him. Simply, politeness is having or showing good manner. Politeness is an important part of social interaction, Leech suggests politeness maintain harmony while socially interacting with one another (Gricean Maxims and Politeness, 2006).

...playing the piano and creating art with my bare hands whether it be with clay or with metal. Because of this talent, I am now able to find beauty in each situation. I can see a miracle when all others see is chaos. Because of these talents, I am the loveable and easy-going person I am today. My sense of humor allows me to be as enjoyable as possible. My mother always says that I can make her laugh during any situation to brighten her day. Others encourage me to be a comedian because of the phrases I use in my daily life. I enjoy making people laugh because one laugh can add seven minutes to an individual’s life and I see how happy others are when I make a simple joke. I feel like I influence lives every time I make someone smile because they could be feeling unhappy and maybe my knock-knock joke lifts their spirits and they go and make someone else smile. It is a chain reaction of happiness, and if I can have small part in making the world a happier place, I will not pass on that opportunity.

He kicked me out of heaven, and I'm going to use you as long as possible to pay him back. You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you. But you have yielded your life to me, and I'm going to make your life a living hell. That way, we'll be together twice. This will really hurt God. Thanks to you, I'm really showing Him who's boss in your life with all of the good times we've had. We have been... watching dirty movies, cursing people out, loving worldly things, having bad influences, stealing, lying, being hypocritical, fornicating, overeating, telling dirty jokes, gossiping, being judgmental, back stabbing people, disrespecting adults, and those in leadership positions, no respect for the Church, bad attitudes. SURELY you don't want to give all this up. Come on, Fool, let's burn together forever. I've got some hot plans for us. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you.

Hers was, in fact, one of the prettiest that I have seen. Everytime that she asked me if it was pretty, I would always tell her that it is; that she should always wear it because it makes her face look clear and fine all the time. But she never did. She seldom wore that kind of smile, that smile that never hid anything. What she often wore was the smile that covered all the sad things that broke her down inside. That one fake smile that she flashed whenever people are trying to pull her down. That one stupid smile that crashed her down. I miss Jade and her corny jokes. She always tried hard to throw lines that seemed so out of this world. But I still laughed at them anyway. So she would not feel disappointed about herself. Maybe because she always felt less about everything, about...

...Jack In “The Dark Psychology of Being a Good Comedian,” Olga Khazan discusses the relationship of darkness and light in humor. Throughout the article she reinforces the idea multiple times that a twist is needed in jokes. The arguments she offers to support her thesis that comedy requires just as much shadiness as it does enlightenment rely on her research, studies, and experiences. I will argue that Khazan’s argument succeeds because of the overflow of the compelling evidence she provided in support of her claim. Olga Khazan believes that majority of people find jokes with a little controversy in them to be funnier than those without it. In order for people to laugh at someone’s joke there needs to be some kind of wicked jerk. Peter McGraw believes the best jokes “take something awful and make it silly. Go purely light-hearted and you risk being toothless. Too edgy.. you’ll make people uncomfortable” (Khazan). With this McGraw is saying that it is okay to offend people to a certain degree with jokes. It should be part of the joke. But it should have an equal amount of “feel-good” to it. For example, when the attacks on September 11th happened the whole country stopped. People needed ways to cope. Comedy was nowhere to be found because no one wanted to offend anyone and they did not think anyone would appreciate any comedy. But The Onion thought differently and began to print articles joking about the terrorists. They were not sure how it would go but the issue was a smash...

...When I was in grade 4, one of my loved ones passed away. He was one of my closest relatives, my uncle. He was taken from us very early and swiftly. All of us were so sad and we really felt the loss of his passing. He has a good paying job as an engineer in the Bureau of Fire. He and my father are first cousins but they treat each other just like brothers because they lived and grow up together in lola’s house. My sisters and I considered him as our second father because he cares for us too. He is a very good person. It was four years ago when he passed away. He joke around at times at we always laughed at that. He’s the kind of person that makes you laugh and smile even after a very long and tired day, like he wants to see the smiles and laughs of the person in his surroundings and the ones he loved. Until now, we still remember him as our tatay and we really missed him so much. It was hard for us because he’s the person that makes you feel happy out of the blue, like he’s the life of the party. Even though he’s not here on earth with us anymore but I know he’s just watching us from above and I still can feel his presence especially if I’m with one of his children. He will always stay in our hearts and mind forever. Whenever someone open up the topic with him as the subject, instead of remembering our mourning, we just think the happy memories we’ve made when he was still here and hope for the best and stay strong.
