.... not only to fit in with his classmates, but also with the rest of society. In doing so, he feels he lost all or most of his Mexican culture and closeness with his parents by giving up Spanish--his native language. Rodriguez feels that bilingual education is wrong because using a family language in school “...misunderstand(s) the public uses of schooling and...trivialize(s) the nature of intimate life” (225). In his essay, “Aria: A Memoir of a Bilingual Childhood”, Rodriguez applies many rhetorical features to build an effective essay with a strong point: children should learn a “public” language in school, not only to increase their educationa .....

.... also how they are used today in everyday life. To start of with I will define kinesics. Kinesics is articulation of the body, or movement resulting from muscular and skeletal shift. This includes all actions, physical or physiological, automatic reflexes, posture, facial expressions, gestures, and other body movements. Body language, body idiom, gesture language, organ language and kinesic acts are just some terms used to depict kinesics. In ways that body language works in nonverbal acts, body language parallels paralanguage. Kinesic acts may substitute for language, accompany it, or modify it. Kinesic acts may be lexical or informative and directive .....

.... claims. In the 1960's many people were exasperated with the “ effects” approach to media research because they felt as if they were not getting anywhere. There were many loop holes and the effects research model contained serious problems in terms of measuring and evaluating human response to media exposure. Human behavior is very complicated and can not be monitored like rats can in a laboratory. Humans will act differently in every setting and it is very difficult to get a natural response in an unnatural environment. If a person is used to viewing TV in their own home, on their own beaten up couch, their response level will be very different than it would .....

.... [a British pilot and captain of the ship Erasmus] along with his crew sail across the seas to find the Islands that Blackthorne insists exist, The Japans. Because of the crew being closeminded and unacknowledged about countries other then their own, ethnocentric, and greedy has caused them not to appreciate the Japanese culture but to hate it, which in return caused the Japanese to dislike them as well. Putting myself in the crew's situation would mean that I would accept all the knowledge and views that the crew took with them on their voyage [ which were few]. A big part of appreciating anything is knowing what it is you are trying to appreciate. John .....

.... in America, and now they have a very strong grasp on their position in society. Women, who used to make up a mere 20% of the working population, now hold a 48% share. A substantial increase in an insubstantial amount of time. Women are being treated differently when applying for jobs and are acquiring more and better jobs than ever before. Will the women even out with the men in the workforce and share an even percentage with them at 50% a piece? Or is it possible that women will overtake the men and the men will be forced to pursue their equal rights? This experiment will attempt to answer that very question. In a setting where the qua .....

.... to convey, I feel that women do need to take action, and that not all opportunities are yet equal. The problem I have with her article is the image that she and other contemporary activists are coveying to the rest of society. When I think of a feminist two pictures come into mind. The first, which maybe a little outdated is a women like Susan B. Anthony, someone fighting for real issues that matter. The second is of a women like the author above, someone who is extreme just to be extreme. To my disappointment it seems the later is becoming more prevalent within society. After reading the article I scrolled down the page to where it listed "more feminist l .....

.... building and the dress, so they adopt the culture of that time. For some, they dress differently just to get attention. But for others, like Rachel, it's a way of expressing themselves. Despite the reasons for dressing the way they do, Goths still do not deserve to be judged. It's not right to do that to anyone. As a very young teen, Rachel always liked looking at and up to the "freaks" or "Goths." It was then she decided that was what she wanted to be. When she was thirteen she began to dress in "black" and it made her realize that she was expressing herself more than she ever had before. Rachel also likes dressing this way because it "gives [her] a cert .....

.... the people who represent them. The journalists claim that it is their responsibility to make sure the politicians are morally upstanding citizens. Unfortunately this has lead to many political and private lives being ruined as result of information that is presented by the press. Throughout the past 50 years the relationship between public officials and the press has gone from excellent to horrendous. All of these factors have led to the personalization of politics and made it impossible for public officials to have any kind of private life. One of the more interesting aspects of the recent coverage of political scandals has been the press' extensive .....
