...dilemmas have consequences. Our worldview determines how we deal with these dilemmas, and guides us to the right decisions. In this essay, I will examine an ethical issues through my Christian worldview. I will also present other viewpoints, and compare them to mine. Ethical Dilemma This dilemma involves my friend Paul. Paul has been working very hard in practice, and the weight room and has earned a starting position on his team. The team has recently been winning more, and many of the players are using a new performance enhancing drug. Paul’s teammates are always reminding him that it is not a banned substance, and the coach has turned a blind eye to the whole issue. Paul told me that his coach is making some changes, and he may lose his starting position. He is starting to think about actually taking this drug so he does not lose his spot. The dilemma is that Paul could just take the drug, and get to keep his position as a starter. Since the drug is not listed as banned, and the coach ignores its use, it should a good choice. No one will ever know. There are a few things that could be done to resolve this dilemma: * I could tell Paul to stand his ground, and not take the drug. He could let his talent stand on its own. I would tell him that taking the drugs could be dangerous, and its simply wrong. * Paul could go to the athletic director to let them know what is going on. This may not be a suitable decision because of his loyalty to his teammates. This is a delicate...

...Joseane Carlos ENC 1101 Out-of-Class Essay Date: 20, November 2015 Is Gender Discrimination Still a Problem in a Modern America? In the past century many changes have taken place in America because women had to fight hard to conquer the liberty that they have nowadays. It was a long and difficult struggle; women had to work hard to overcome many obstacles, to gain the right to work, have political participation, serve in the military, study, and accomplish many other goals that before were absolutely impossible. Looking back at history, there have been many issues about gender discrimination in America, and this has led many men and women to believe that discrimination against women is still a problem; however, women in America are free to accomplish everything they desire, and today women and men have the same privileges; they just do not choose to accomplish the same occupations. Most times, men and women have different considerations about their futures which leads them to build different career paths, and to be unequal at particular points; moreover, the manner that women and men are usually raised, their education, and their career choices, could make an enormous difference in their future; therefore, what occurs in a modern America is not discrimination. The choices that women and men make throughout their lives make them different from each other. Women have made enormous progress throughout the years; they have conquered many obstacles; however, many people...

...“The Breakfast Club” Review Made by ivanbolt Teenage movie about mature problems. Saturday has always been the day of relaxation and having fun. But not for characters of “The Breakfast Club”, who ought to spend their day off to attend a Saturday detention for each of their mischief, and write an essay “Who you think you are?”. Along with the fact, that this group is so ill-assorted, you can’t even get how they all appeared to be in the same place, the Shermer High School library. This small mixed group consists of jock Andrew (Emilio Estevaz), who is insane about sports; nerdy Brian (Antony Michael Hall), whose aim is to get straight A’s at any cost; princess Claire (Molly Ringwald), who conceitedly trying to prove that she does not belong to the company; kook Alison (Ally Sheedy), that surprise everyone by her outstanding acting; and rebellious criminal John Bender (Judd Nelson), that demonstrates indifference and toughness. The movie, written and directed by genius of teen comedies John Hughes and produced with the help of Ned Tanen, represents a perfect mix of a joyful comedy and profound drama. To begin with, the situation represented in the film is quite realistic, except for the fact that such different people gathered together in the same place and at the same time. However, the viewer can consider that as a miraculous coincidence, which often happens in real life. Still, clear representation of youth problems, their behaviour and attitude to each other does...

...Example 1: subject by subject Books vs Movies (capitalize both words) There are different ways to get a story from different sources in modern times. Books have been good sources for stories, but movies are getting more popular and have the same story with wrong word the books. Why auxiliary verb needed people still reading books, and others are prefer watching should be an infinitive not a gerund the movies? Reading books and watching movies have a lot in common but there are some differences that makes the readers remain faithful to reading books. First, books keep a person’s mind going. A mind is filled with questionspunctuation and as the wheels in your head are turning, your brain is being put to more use rather than if you let it go numb during a movie. It is basically the same as watching television versus going outside and playing for a couple of hours. Movies are like a version of a television show, wrong punctuationthey are just longer. Everyone has heard that if you watch TV for too long it is not good for you, that you should pick up a good book instead.comma splice Should not the same rule apply when it comes to watching a movie? You are contrasting movies and books but you go off on another idea of television. Keep on topic and show how books contrast to movies. In this paragraph you are trying to show how the brain reacts differently to movies and books. (Give more examples of that.) Films can do a lot of different things. They can bring whole worlds...

It seems reality television, sometimes called "unscripted" programming, is here to stay. The genre is redefining the way we interact with, understand, and socialize with our fellow Americans. It's not here for your approval and, to use a cliché commonly associated with the genre, it’s not here to make friends. Part of the reason for the resurgence in reality television is that it's the cheapest way to fill programming blocks. While we see much more of it today, reality TV is nothing new. It's been around since Candid Camera, which documented sneaky practical jokes on unsuspecting average joes, debuted in 1948. But things have changed since then. The genre hit its second stride in 2000 with Survivor, an elimination show in which “castaways” compete to win big by roughing it for the longest, and since then the genre has presented increasingly regressive caricatures of women, men, poor people, and people of color. In Reality Bites Back: The Troubling Truth about Guilty Pleasure TV, media critic and activist Jennifer...

...Corporations can Profit from Gender Diversity The need to make a commitment to encouraging diversity is paramount in today's business world. Executive women leadership can help corporations at the board level with success, find creative ways for face challenges, and spot talent within and outside the corporation while making the boardroom more innovative. Unfortunately, business women do not possess equal access to leadership. They face complexities not encountered by business men because of continuing uncertainties about their ability to lead. Requiring a diverse boardroom is a smart and practical way of bringing a different perspective and most assuredly value to the workplace. If every corporate board had at least one female board director, imagine the creativity and respect that would transpire. Women are working longer hours and the days of the "typical" stay at home mom are now becoming the stay at home dad. Business women have their sights on achieving an executive leadership position at the top of any corporation. Businesses must realize that there is something missing with boards being presided, managed and directed by all white males. In today's society, the word is inclusion, not exclusion, and it is robbing companies and society of talent and perspective that would benefit any firm by having the other half of the working population in the room. An integrated and diverse network of employees is a smart and practical way to balance and develop relationships. ...

...Greensboro, NC, 27403 ------------------------------------------------- Roundtable Management MEMORANDUM To: Jerry McGuire, CEO From: Jason Stevens, Director of Marketing Date: 4/23/15 Subject: Expanding Roundtable Management Round Table management has successfully competed in the United States sports industry, representing 40% of the NBA players in America. We have transformed from an unknown commodity, to a household name in the sports industry, and in the lives of our athletes families. Although we are very successful at our craft, why stop here? The world is bigger than the United States, and we believe Roundtable has the proper personnel, outside resources, and overall promising potential to begin representing international athletes in other basketball leagues outside of the NBA. As it stands now, Roundtable management does not represent any foreign players. If we want to be known as the greatest management firm in the industry, it is ideal that we begin the necessary steps to broadening our brand. NBA.com reports our league has the highest number of foreign players in the league, at 101 players1. The top countries with the most international players are Canada with twelve, which is followed by France’s ten, and lastly, Australia with eight1. These three countries are paving the way for young athletes to reach their athletic stardom. It is important to note that although a select few are chosen to play in the NBA, the talent pool surpasses more than these individuals. To...

...informative writing. In either case, understanding the writer’s underlying purpose will help you interpret the context of the writing. It will also help you see why writers make the decisions they do—from the largest decisions about what information to present to the smallest details of what words to use. The chapter concludes with instructions on how to write an analysis of purpose and technique. This kind of rhetorical analysis will provide the perspective required to keep you from being pushed by words in directions you don’t want to go. T 103 104 Part 1 Writing About Reading The Writer's Purpose Insofar as people know what they are doing, they plan their actions to achieve their purposes. Someone who selects the purpose of being rich will design and carry out a set of actions, legal or illegal, to gain the desired wealth. A person who wants to gain great wisdom will design an entirely different life course. Writers, whether they want most to be wealthy or wise, have specific purposes they hope to achieve by any piece of work. If they are skilled writers—that is, in control of what they write—they design each aspect of what they are writing to achieve their purpose. Being aware of the writer's purpose when you read helps you evaluate how well the writer has achieved the purpose and decide whether you want to follow where the writer is trying to lead you. The active reader reads more than the words and more than even the ideas: the active reader reads what the...

Xiearmyxiearmy 零四岁末于美国穷乡僻壤 Chapter I Application Essay Examples INTRODUCTION This appendix contains 115 actual essays written, by 17 different applicants, for leading MBA programs. They address dozens of different essay topics. The applicants and their essays have been selected to give you the widest possible range of materials from which to profit. The first four applicants all applied to the University of Chicago. They were chosen by Chicago’s admissions director, Don Martin, according to my desire that they be from four very different people and of average quality for those admitted. In other words, these essays will show you exactly what you are competing against. They are of perfectly acceptable quality, but they should not discourage you. If you follow the lessons of this book you should be able to surpass each of these efforts. The second set of three applicants—Melissa, Doreen, and Carol—is taken from Columbia University’s files. Columbia’s admissions director, Linda Meehan, was asked to supply several applications, again from people of widely differing backgrounds, but this time of superior quality. I think that this group’s applications are of a somewhat higher...
