Fridman develops his argument by starting off with the background of the topic, taking everyday experiences and asking readers to think about certain senerios, also comparison with others. "How long can America remain a world-class power if we constantly emphasize social skills and physical prowess over academic achievement and intellectual ability?" Fridman ends with this question He has the readers thinking about what he has said, using his point of view to over look a serious question. He also uses realistic senerios liked what the average American parent is thinking. Fridman develops his argument by putting you in the shoes of how people think.

They identified enough information to convince a reasonable person to think twice about how modern textbooks portray FDR. Some textbooks seem to be yet another instance of propaganda. The Folsom’s weave the information obtained with their personal bias; which is expected. However, if their personal bias was not woven into this book it would be more reliable.

Additionally, the author mentions that according to the professor’s research, the “score gap between American students and those in the highest-ranked countries” decreases by “25 percent in math and 40 percent in reading” once adjustments for the student’s socioeconomic status have been made. However, this problem is getting harder for public schools to solve as “[t]he public school population is getting poorer”. Porter then introduces Andreas Schleicher, the top educational expert of O.E.C.D who runs the PISA tests, as Schleicher firmly disagrees with Professor Carnoy’s claims. According to Professor Carnoy’s results, “fewer than 15 percent” of American students should be from families of lower socioeconomic status, but Schleicher found that “65 percent of principals in American schools say at least 30 percent of their students come from disadvantaged families”.

Kennedy makes the most of his short and sweet speech by mixing in propaganda to illustrate how much more socially advanced America is from the other nations. His glittering generalities placed purposefully throughout the speech distract listeners from the artificial dichotomy and bandwagon inferences. Kennedy begins the first sentence of his speech with valued concepts to evoke thoughts of unification in the United States. He describes his inauguration as a “celebration of freedom” that will eventually lead to some changes (Kennedy). He presents this glittering generalities as a way to inspire the Americans and gain their support for an economically prosperous term.

Leonid's uses a simple sentence to create a feel in lines 28-30 to show he is tired of the ways nerds are treated " enough is enough." Then follows up with this sentence , " nerds and geeks must stop being ashamed of who they are. " This statement shows he is taking a stand for nerds and hoping that nerds will stop being ashamed of themselves. In conclusion, Leonid uses different methods to develop his argument, some are using effective diction,comparisons,pathos, and simple sentences to create affect and strengthen his argument on America needing nerds. Leonid includes a question at the end which was very effective in his argument because it will make the audience think that its time for a change.

Although my genogram does not necessarily show the traits that my family has, I think the relationships lines demonstrate how each member behave, and it helps to distinguish types of family paradigms. When I take a look at my family genogram it is amazing to see how different are my dad side and mom side family based on family paradigm. For instance, my dad side of family follows an open paradigm where issues are resolved by means of communication and negotiation, each member are adaptable to change. In the other hand, my mother side of family follows closed paradigm where they have specific rules

Which sociological perspective do you think best explains the problem of immigration in our society? In my opinion, the conflict perspective best explains the problem of immigration in our society. Page 83 explains that “Most immigrants are motivated by the global economics of immigration-men and women will move from low-wage to high-wage countries in search of better incomes and standards of living.” Most immigrants are coming to the United States to pursue the “American dream”.

James Truslow Adams stated in the epilog of The Epic of America that the dream is about a, “better and richer and fuller [life] for every man.” Money is essential to the comforts of American living, so it only seems necessary to dream of having an abundance of it. The irony is, that in the pursuit of wealth and economic stability, the risk of economic uncertainty is high. Mark Robert Rank’s Chasing the American Dream, states that “Mounting evidence indicates this economic insecurity has been on the rise, with growing number of middle and working-class Americans struggling to get by” (Source C). While this is true for some, many have also experienced significant economic gains in the past decades.

With free education, Americans would become happier people and in turn, stimulate a more prosperous nation as a

Contrary to Bronte, Lincoln uses a conversational, monosyllabic, and concrete diction, as shown by these words: “conduct,” “defect,” “habit,” “idler,” and “difficulty.” Since Lincoln has a close relationship with his brother, he is able to speak comfortably and address him directly; but, it also allows Lincoln to be more straight-forward as he uses monosyllabic words to stress the importance of his brother working to pay off his own debt. Due to the difference in audiences, Bronte tries to impress her readers with her elaborate and ornate language while

According to a new study by Bas W. van Doorn, a political science professor at College of Wooster in Ohio. Doorn studied 474 stories about American poverty from 1992 all the way to 2010. Within the images that were ran alongside these stories, African American people were overrepresented. They appeared in a little more than half images that were portrayed while only making for about 25 percent of Americans below the poverty line.

Overall, historians and theorists have predicated the Cold War as a learning experience for future decision-making. However, one can draw similarities in current military actions, like Iraq and Afghanistan, where those can argue not much has changed in the demeanor and action of military leadership to civilian leadership. Overall, Betts provides a thoroughly researched and structured framework for the reader to analyze historical evidence from a different perspective but I found his conclusions to be inherently flawed.

This article written by Allie Bidwell is about the class of 2013 and how much debt they incurred while at college. The average student loan debt for this class is $28,400. Bidwell states that this number isn’t all that accurate due to the low numbers of colleges that report their numbers. Out of all private and state institutions, only 57% reported numbers of debt or the amount of graduates with debt. Schools are ranked on a scale from high debt to low debt, with schools that have high debt averaging almost $50,000.

These efforts are focused on federal and state agencies offering fraud protection education to senior citizens through workshops, emails, and postal mailings (Swanson et al., 2012, p. 424). According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (2010), crimes affecting the elderly are based on many factors such as they often have good credit, have a nest egg, and own their own homes. In addition, seniors were raised in a different era where they were taught to be polite and trusting, leaving them susceptible to fraudulent promises of others. Cognitive impairments of this aging population also make them more attractive since they may not be able to supply investigators with enough information to build a case against the perpetrator
