The essay is a true reflection of our reality. The education system is no longer what it used to be, it is not all about ensuring that the students have achieved their goals but it is more of a business. There is an increase in the number of colleges and also an increase in the intake but the quality of education is decreasing. This is because management of the colleges is no longer interested in making the students achieve, it is no longer an up close and personal relationship it is all about the money.
According to a college report presented ...

- Quote what you take to be the author’s thesis (using proper citations), and explain it in your own words. (10 points)
Here the author seems to like the idea of human exposition. He thinks that it is a good idea for exhibitions to be put up which demonstrate the costumes and ways of life of people from different cultures and different eras. The world exhibitions tend to increase the exchange value of commodities. These in turn create a framework in which the commodities’ intrinsic value is eclipsed. They open up a fantasy world that people enter into in order ...

Even in nonfiction prose, authors find many different ways to tell us about themselves. They may directly describe their personality traits or they may indirectly show these traits through their word choice, their attitudes towards the subject matter and their reported (or admitted) behavior. As such, the personality of the author becomes evident in their works and social interactions. What is commonly referred to as “personality” in a real person is called “persona” in writing. This essay describes the persona of David Foster Wallace’s authorial persona as evidenced in his essays and his social life and interactions with ...

Essay 1

Is Google MAKING Us Stupid by Nicholas Carr
The idea that intrigued me most is the fact that modern day society is getting overly dependent on the internet, and hardcopy reading culture is slowly dying. Gone are the days when people could visit libraries to read or conduct research. Today, people comfortably do that from behind their desktops in the comfort of their homes. A lot of information is easily made available, and it helps people to have “immediate access to such an incredibly rich store of information” according to Carr.
What I have learned from this article is ...

A. Brief Overview of “Is Hooking Up bad for Young Women?”

Several authors look at the sex culture in today’s youths in comparison to the baby boomers. Jessica Valenti(2010) for instance argues that the problem with America today is not the casual sex as it is not new but the moral panic that exists. The mass media has driven sociologists and psychologists to investigate young hookups even more closely. Statistics by CDC and the NHSLS show that young adults today are having far less sex than the baby boomers. Hookups are not free for all as portrayed by the media but is rather a safe manoeuvre by young adults ...

One of the biggest reasons why there seem to be more incidents of poor behavior in youth sports today is the prevalence of social media and cell phone videos. More people are catching the misbehavior of coaches and adults in youth sports and posting the videos to be seen across the country. This deplorable behavior is caused by a combination of reasons. The majority of youth coaches are parents of a player who try to do the noble thing and coach young kids. The problem arises when these dads interpret the privilege to coach as an opportunity to make ...

Doug Baldwin’s article, A Study in Social Control: The Life of the Silver Miner in Northern Ontario, presents a complete sociological examination of the relationship between capitalist enterprises and the social hierarchy that it serves.

The article demonstrates that similar mechanisms also propel larger groups to societies and that there are analogous instances that can be seen through each stage of development.

In Bakhtin and Adorno
Mikhail Bakhtin’s essay From Rabelais and His World discusses the role of laughter and comedy in past and present culture. “Laughter and its forms represent . . . the least scrutinized sphere of the people’s creation,” Bakhtin writes (2002, p.83). He discusses the development and practices of carnival-type festivities in Roman and medieval times. As opposed to official feasts in which rank and order were of great importance, or “a consecration of inequality” (2002, p. 88), carnival existed as “a suspension of all hierarchical precedence” (p. 87). The introduction to the test suggests that Bakhtin’s examination ...

The websites reviewed have several things in common. Chief amongst them is how visually boring they are. For the most part they are all basically directories with simple click interfaces. Rather than utilizing the latest available web technology they seem to be stuck in an old mind-set when dial-up connections were the norm, and people were still accepting of information presented as they were in informational pamphlets handed out in the doctors office. Today however, we use the internet to give us a deeper depth to our content and these websites fail to do that. In effect they are all ...
