Olaudah Equiano made this plea. His point in saying this was to call out the people who claimed that they were Christians for their treatment of others. He is saying that if they are truly Christians they should not be treating other people in this way since God said that we should treat others the way that we would personally want to be treated.

Charlie Chaplin once said, “I don't think the real America is in New York or on the Pacific Coast; personally, I like the Middle West much better, places like North and South Dakota, Minneapolis and Saint Paul. There, I think, are the true Americans.” Debra Marquart distinguishes this so-called ‘true America’ in her 2006 memoir titled The Horizontal World. This memoir is a detailed account of her childhood in the Midwest. In an excerpt from The Horizontal World, Debra Marquart utilizes syntax, diction, and imagery to characterize the Midwest.

“Memoir, in some regard, became the voice of national policy,” so states John D’Agata in Joan Didion’s Formal Experience Of Confusion. He thus proclaims that memoirs and memories exist not only as personal experiences but that they can be remolded for public use. D’Agata’s essay supports the concept that memories are powerful tools which connect and inspire communities. Along with this, he warns that though memories and memorials can be helpful for the remembrance of people and events, they can also manipulate people’s perspectives and even erase certain memories from a narrative. D’Agata depicts memories, specifically through memoirs, as powerful and able to connect and inspire communities.

I am pleading for your compassion and humanity to avail yourself in co-sponsorship of H. Res. 401 that would provide the compulsory measure to outlaw the inhumane practice against dogs and cats in all of nine countries in Asia engaging in cruel torture. As your constituent, I am haunted all but daily by the screams from the millions of animals crying for mercy of their torturers to just be allowed to die. It was a deep disappointment that the House Republican leadership and Speaker Paul Ryan did not bring H.Res. 30 to the floor for a vote.

“On Pins and Needles Defending Artistic Expression” What would one expect the viewpoint of an American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts’ (also known as ACLU) lawyer and journalist to be regarding tattoos as a form of artistic expression? Carol Rose is the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts. Being a lawyer and journalist, Carol has spent her career working for and writing about human rights and civil liberties, both in the United States and abroad”(Rottenberg 36). Because of her eminent profession, one would naturally assume that Rose leans more towards a liberal point of view. In regards to tattoos, that assertion would be correct.

Driven by the belief that space was bequeathed to them, the Native Americans feel justified in defending their land against the growing encroachment of the white man as the American landscape unfolds. Their motive is the premise that a higher authority has granted them the right to the space, and that the Great Spirit has created the landscape exclusively for them. Fueled by the formation of conflict over land, the Great Ottawa Chief, Pontiac, in his speech at Detroit, seeks to persuade the tribes, including the Ottawa, Huron, and Pottawatomi to agree to resistance. Invoking the words of the Delaware prophet, Neolin, Pontiac recounts the vision which he believes justifies resistance. Neolin urges the tribes to sever all relations to the customs

The two different components of Gerras ' Critical Thinking Model for the strategic “Darlan Deal” decision while he was in command of the Mediterranean Theater is point of view and implications. Eisenhower’s SHAEF staff selection process is a strategic decision while serving as the Supreme Allied Commander that displays the heuristics and biases components of Gerras ' Critical Thinking Model for evaluating information. The Darlan Deal came about in November 1942 when Henri Giraud and Mark Clark were sent to Algiers on behalf of Eisenhower to win over the French, but Giraud was not highly regarded by the French. They met with a captured French Admiral by the name of Jean-Francois Darlan and took advantage of his opportunist position.

Beatty understands the way the world works in retrospect to the events leading up to the current situation of their government. As a fireman you must know what you are doing and how it benefits your society. Beatty explains the reason that books are banned to Montag, and doing so helps us understand the most important factor in the story. You must not offend anyone whatsoever. To maintain peace you must cease from reading or writing anything that could slightly be taken out of context.

In 1993, Scott Russell Sanders responds to an essay written by Salman Rushdie, to counteract the idea of “people who transplant themselves in ideas rather than places.” Sanders provides the American public with acknowledgements of counter-arguments, historical references, and patriotic appeals to convey his message that “movement is inherently good” isn’t as it seems from Rushdie’s point of view. Sanders respects Rushdie’s views on migration and uses them to strengthen his argument through countering Rushdie’s views. Sanders cites Rushdie’s claim that “migrants must, of necessity, make a new imaginative relationship with the world, because of the loss of familiar habitats” (47-50). Sanders acknowledges Rushdie’s view on migrants opening up to new ideas due to them leaving their homelands.

A good reasoning is a reasoning that leads to certain, true and valid conclusions. There are two kinds of reasoning, inductive and deductive reasoning. Both processes include the process of finding a conclusion from multiple premises although the way of approach may differ. Deductive reasoning uses general premises to make a specific conclusion; inductive reasoning uses specific premises to make a generalized conclusion. The two types of reasoning can be influenced by emotion in a different manner because of their different process to yield a conclusion.

In Al Gore’s “The Assault on Reason,” many topics are presented to get his argument across. Gore’s thesis is not fully revealed in the essay, but one can infer it is about the people needing to wake up and realize what is happening. He wants people to ask questions, get reasoning, be a fully informed citizen. For example, Gore states "More and more people are trying to figure out what has gone wrong with our democracy, and how we can fix it." (Gore 9)

According to Haskell the nature and value of objectivity is that objectivity is fairness, you are always seeking the truth. Haskell says that Novick’s views objectivity as neutrality, meaning that historians are neutral. In reality historians are never neutral and always have biased towards a story, which means they have never been objective. The value of objectivity for Haskell is it is necessary for the historical profession. Haskell believes that has a society, if we don’t believe there is a truth then we will constantly have conflicts.

Honestly, I didn’t understand why Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner was so life-changing until a random conversation, two years after I first read the book. Unusual isn’t it - our favorite books typically stand out as soon as we read them. But the best books are the ones that you have to think about, the ones that mean something special - the ones that cause self-reflection. The time came to write another AP Language argument essay - this one was examining the morality of transcendentalism. I scoffed, “What kind of idiot would run off into the woods to ‘find himself’ rather than have a job, family, and dignity?”

It is in this question of choice that Bioshock Infinite truly relates to postmodernism. Story-driven games are trying harder and harder to give the illusion that the player has a significant effect on the story’s outcome. To do this, games have been bombarding players with a multitude of choices, giving the illusion that these choices can alter the game’s end, even though all possible scenarios have already been thought out, written, and programmed. This is the way that Bioshock Infinite attempts to challenge the universally accepted way that video games have begun to tell stories. It critiques the typical choice and user interactivity that many other video games employ and flips the notion that instead of you being the one who has been playing

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is the study of human excellence through the understanding of our thought process (Neuro), how the way we use language influences us and the people around us (Linguistics) and our interactive process that enables us to make decisions in our lives (Programming). It is the science and art of excellence which is derived from analyzing how the best people in various fields achieve their success (What is NLP, n.d.). NLP forms the basis for this module, Mind Quest for Excellence, as NLP is the art of modelling excellence by studying how to further improve ourselves and enrich our lives. This report will be covering two main concepts I have learnt in this module, NLP presuppositions and Meta-programmes, and how I
