...Hate speech is nothing new to American universities. It is defined as language that slanders a particular group based on race, color, gender, nationality, as well as other characteristics. Though colleges try to combat hate speech with speech codes, these codes are never upheld in court, and as a result the victims are left to suffer. Sadly, most victims are minorities who have been historically oppressed, such as African Americans and women. In order to help the minorities targeted by hate speech on college campuses, the sufferers must be empowered to speak out through the creation of a national organization and eventually the Supreme Court must rule that the freedom of speech does not include hate speech. An increase of hate speech on college...

...based on hate can survive, it is highly unlikely. In 1984, by George Orwell, the party kept the people under full control by brainwashing them. This is not realistic because in today’s world someone, whether it be another government or the people living in this society, would end it. People of today have been taught that they have rights and if those rights are taken away, something isn’t right. There are many examples on why a society could not thrive purely on hatred, some of which are present in 1984, The Lives of Others, and the real world. The society Winston and Julia live in in 1984 is a society based on hate. The evidence to back that up would include O’Brien, at the end of the novel, telling Winston there is no reason for the horrible things the party does to the people, including complete oppression, torture, and brainwashing. They do it because they can, because they have the power to and they want to prove to themselves that, no matter what, the people will not revolt. One may think this futuristic, fictional society did last forever, but there is evidence from the appendix stating otherwise. In the appendix, when explaining newspeak, it is described as the language that “was” present in Oceania. One could conclude that Big Brother eventually fell. That alone is substantial evidence to prove a society based on hate, Oceania, could not survive. From the explanation and hints given that the proles in 1984 could easily revolt and overthrow the government, I would conclude...

And after eight years of looking for her, Neill met the lovely Aimee Griffith who has the exact replica of Audrey and sure an enigma too. Urged down by their similar appearances, Neill was bound to discover the truth behind their mysteries… Introduction: Well, first of all, it's hard to narrate a story especially when a tragic music is stuck in your ears and the song tells about a girl wanting her guy back in her nonsense life when in fact I've never experienced having a girl, down-to-her-feet, longing for me to come back in her ingenious life. And then the next song saying that a guy asking for a lad's name and him confessing how the girl's beauty affected his innermost and now he's asking for a date and me not even a single thing experienced one of these and it’s kind of a routine. Anyway, this may sounds a little bit a bookworm of me but the truth is, I have read a hundred and twenty three books on how to win a girl's heart and with those incessant thoughts and words I have come to meet, none of it actually work. I don't know if I read the book cover quickly or didn't understand the selection really or getting dumped is just really...

...How do I see myself? Often I'm asked how do I see myself. That is really truly a very hard question. Now I would think it would be easy to answer that question because who knows myself better than me. But it really is a hard question to answer honestly because I believe my mood for the moment will determine my answer. That can be unfair for me. Which is why it makes a question like that hard to answer. Normally, I would say I see myself as a sensitive, loving, fair person but also a bit nonchalant. Not lazy though. But let's say this question was ask right after I learned that I lost my job. Now I see myself as a failure. Which would make me have a character trait of being negative. Same question after some positive news like I got the job! Now my answer will be happy, a feeling of accomplishment. My character trait is now positive on myself. We all have good and bad days. I believe that each day could pose a different answer to that very same question. I also believe my wife and kids could answer that question for me as well because they see the good and the bad of me every day. They would pretty much say my character traits are the same. A good friend may only see the good side or only see the bad side of me. A friend may have the wrong impression of me. My character trait, as seen through their eyes, would be different. An employer will see me in a different light. My parents would see my traits differently. Who really has the right...

...Bellyacher “For god’s sake, I can’t put up with my wife anymore! She is such a bellyacher!” Tim said fiercely at lunch time. “Easy, easy,” I tried to placate my friend as I usually did when he grumbled about his marriage, “Tell me what happened? What do you mean by saying ‘bellyacher’?” “Oh man, she’s that kind of woman who is complaining all the time! I should have noticed that before we got married!” My friend now seemed to be very regretful. “Then what did she complain about?” I asked. “Just about little things! Pointless! Yesterday I forgot to lay down the toilet seat and she kept talking about that for half an hour! Jesus, how long would it take her to lift that damn thing up on herself? Maybe 0.3 seconds! And the day before yesterday, she phoned me during the work time just to complain about her boss. Can you believe that? Accusing your boss for not responding to your greeting! That’s her, the bellyacher, who always gets annoyed by those trivial matters no one will ever pay attention to!” Tim paused for a second, and then he hurried on without giving me the chance to speak. “Another thing I can’t bear is the way she talks. It’s so unbearable. She always put herself at a position where she’s always suffering –sometimes she even bursts out tears because she thinks I am the one who should be blamed for everything. Well, to tell you the truth, I am quite used to this now, because people in the world are all the same –I never do wrong and it’s all YOUR fault...

The group members are enthusiastic about the project and arrange a meeting time to begin planning. You forget to mark your calendar and miss the meeting. The group posts a summary of the meeting with assignments and deadlines for the project. You apologize to the group and agree to complete the topic research for the project. You realize you have a paper due in another course on the same day your research is due and concentrate most of your time on your individual assignment. The paper takes longer than you thought, and you are unable to conduct research for the group project by the deadline. You feel bad about this and do not respond to inquiries from group members. You post a message to the group explaining you are having computer problems.

...up and very meaningful. As children dreams are images of something big for the future. To be a doctor, fire man, nurse, veterinarian, a teacher, a wife, and mother. To accomplish these dreams we need to understand responsibility, study and plan our lives to make a dream happen. Personal responsibility is accepting what exist in life, behavioral, and actions. Freedom is a choice and because you have chosen every circumstance in life you are responsible for the decision that you have made regardless if it has been success, failure, happiness, and unhappiness. In Living a Life of Meaning and Purpose “Harpo’s Blues written and sung by Phoebe Snow has a line that goes. “I hate to be a grownup and have to live my life in pain.” (University of Phoenix, Ethics Games). As adults there are choices for ethical behavior, to be fair, responsible and honest towards yourself and the community. Grown ups that are in pain chose to be pain they either hate where there career path is heading to or because they chose to be miserable. They get so involved in work or studies and exclude everyone from the real world. While in the process of losing control they lose respect, dignity, and their ethical values in the community and in themselves. The relationships between personal responsibility and college success have the same concept wanting happiness, success, or choose to be a college graduate. Attending college is not any different from your personal life. In college as well as...

...good as a nerd that doesn’t do anything but think about computer software and programs, and someone that does a lot of volunteer work. Deviance doesn’t have to involve our actions or even choose. Some deviances action can be detached on how we all think about others and if we don’t like a certain people because of the person’s disability race, and other difference. This means that racial hate groups are performing a deviance act against other unlike racial groups. Social control is subjected to everyone in a society. Social control is an attempt to control people’s thoughts and behavior to standards of the society. Unfortunately social control has been able to control all of those murders and other people that constantly break the rules and regulation. In cases of serious deviance, however may bring action by the criminal justice system, which is a formal response by police, courts, and prison official to alleged violation of the law. Now lets take a look at structural-functional approach, it is based on the key insight that deviance is a necessary element of social organization. That is were I will be talking about Emile Durkheim, he is the person that preformed a detailed analysis of deviance. He believes that deviance is nothing abnormal, because deviance establishes cultural values and norms....

...Kyle Gentry 02/03/16 Essay Question 1) Introduction - Some Historians have stated that World War II could have been avoided, considering the events prior to Germanys invasion of Poland I disagree with this statement. I strongly believe that Hitler wanted war and to spread communism and the events prior to Poland only made it more apparent another war was inevitable. The reasons why I support my position are The Treaty of Versailles, The Appeasement Policy, and the failure of The League of Nations. 2) Body - First I will argue that the Treaty of Versailles was a indirect cause of the second world war. Although the treaty seamed fair from ally standpoint at the time the punishments handed down on the German country were undesirable, as the losing side they were forced to sign, neither Germany nor Russia were invited to the hearings. Though the Treaty did not start a war I believed it played a big role in Germanys downfall and economic disaster in which landed Adolf Hitler in power. Some say the treaty was a way to get revenge on Germany, it placed all the blame of the war, made them sacrifice land, and forced them to pay the war wages. This in turn led to a hate for the government and officials for signing this treaty and the country left vulnerable economically and loyally, and looking for a leader. So basically the treaty left a bad taste in the Germans citizens mouth, left them demoralized and they couldn’t do anything about it. Adolf Hitler who fought...

...There is only one place on this planet I hope to never see again. Where hunting is a sport you learn as a baby, where Mormons congregate once a month at a nearby church to see the production of “The Book of Mormon”, and where criminals travel when they do not want to be found. This is the place I hate so much, yet will give my unconditional love and thanks to. Montana contains no interesting exhibits, or treasured landmarks. It is not the first place a person thinks of when they want to take a vacation. But what it does contain is my home. Ten months of my life was spent in the Yaak mountains, where everyday I looked out the window and saw the exact same scene every day. Ten months of absolute pain, hatred, anger, and growth. Ten months of living with stranger’s who are now my family. Ten months of waking up with no familiar face in sight, no comfort from family, and ten months of knowing you are truly alone. And these were the best months of my life. I grew up in Montana. I experienced things people will never understand. I became far more than an adult in Montana. I became something that I am proud of being. I became me....

...history of how the community he lives in was interacting and how life was as a native and especially a Negro. The writing revolves about the interaction between the natives and especially regarding their family lives. Baldwin misjudged his father but as he grew up and faced the reality he came to understand why his father’s attitude was valid and genuine even though, the attitude was bad. Baldwin change of altitude is much visible in the context of his writing. Change of Baldwin’s attitude Baldwin developed hatred toward his father at a very tender age. According to James, he being young exposed him to very difficult things that made him develop hatred for his own father. It is evidently seen when Baldwin states that “In my mind’s eyes I could see him, sitting at the window, locked up in his terror; hating every living soul including his children”(590). The attitude of his father not connecting or communicating well with other individuals made his see that his father was proud and self-centered. As a young boy, Baldwin could see how his father distanced himself from other people and especially the white people. Baldwin could not understand why his father processed so much hate for the white people. The relationship between Baldwin and his father was hostile in terms that Baldwin did not know the name of his father. Baldwin had always disagreed with his father even in the last moment of his father’s life, he never agreed with him. His father would always try to inform him through...

...require completion (*). Life Event 1 (title):* My Fathers’ Baptism In one paragraph, explain why this event was significant to you.*This is a story that my father who came from a background of hate and racism told me. While my grandparents raised him to hate someone that wasn’t his race he found true friendship with a friend (Robert who was black) through his job. They remained close throughout their friendship until he died from cancer and my dad made a promise to take care of his family. After a few years my dad and Robert’s widow (Laura) my mom fell in love and had two girls me and my sister Amber. We all became a family after my parents married. The significance of this to me is that now I understand why we were raised to love all people and not to discriminate because it’s cruel and hateful and as my dad says “its just plain wrong” and it has helped me to become an open-minded and a non-judgmental woman. In a second paragraph, describe how you felt after the experience. *What I experienced in that moment of learning everything that I was pretty sure was difficult for him was a feeling of complete understanding and appreciation. I grew up saying that I hated someone because of little things that were insignificant and not understanding the word and how much power it held. I went through a period of denial after learning that. To this day I have never met any of my dads immediate family, but...

...The term tragedy, both in Greek dramas and contemporary writing alike, is an emotion evoked by the inability of a person to fulfill a goal or potential that is reasonably within reach. When I think of tragedy, images of supremely gifted artists, writers, athletes, and other socially iconic individuals whose lives were cut short come to mind. But as most of us are already aware, tragedy does not solely strike the lives of the young and famous. We are all succeptable to it. Contrary to popular belief, tragedy does not often come in the form of a bolt of lightning, or a sinking ship. It is triggered by wrong decisions, and rather small and seemingly insignificant ones at first. But like a snowball released at the top of a mountain, these wrong decisions pick up momentum, and before we can even recognize the reprocussions of these decisions coming, we are flattened by them. What causes these wrong decisions? Some may blame pride, lust, fear, anger, ignorance, stubborness, or even love. All of these are valid reasons, and unfortunately these are all abundant qualities in every human being. Because of this, writers like Arthur Miller and William Shakespeare have showed us that these tragedies can occur to anyone, from salesmen to soldiers. And although they are horrible to live through, they can also be timelessly entertaining to read about. Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman is the story of a man, Willy Loman, gone deaf to the outside world. Though many try to help him, he shuts...
