This course is in its twilight, and I wanted to share some thoughts with you right before the screen goes down. It can appear, and in fact it will to those of you who did not speak with me recently, that I have abandoned you in the last few weeks. Nothing can be further than the truth. Since week 4 I have been curbing my enthusiasm and participation in the threads, both academic and Larry David (i.e. incendiary) styles. This is the first time that I teach a DuPont cohort. Earlier this semester
This is why it is important to choose words carefully when working in an online session, such as University of Phoenix, or even just text messaging between friends. An example of this is the difference between the words nitpicking and meticulous. If one were to say: ‘She is nitpicking every aspect of my presentation before she se... ... middle of paper ... ...for error. This will become the platform for their rebuttal. If one is not prepared for their rebuttal, then he or she will appear to be
Sociological imagination, a term coined by C. Wright Mills, is the ability to visualize the connection between personal experience and the larger society. One can possess sociological imagination upon realizing personal behaviors that weren’t completely personal but neighboring society’s common practice. In other words, seeing that one’s action has been completely caused by society or their actions differed from their initial intentions, which were actually altered to fit society’s expectations.
attacking video games, movies, and people for the objectification of women. While I believe there is no ideal look for a woman, the fact that video game charterers cannot stand a certain way is ridiculous. Feminist have gone beyond equality and into the nitpicking of
The entirety of the fourth season of ‘The Mindy Project’ was scrutinized by the audience because it seemed as if Mindy’s unquestionable self-confidence, often on the brink of self-delusion, and empowering revelations on body-positivity, independence and sexuality was marred by the fact that the entire season was of her succumbing to what Danny, her Caucasian fiancé, wants her to be – the perfect mold of an obedient, submissive housewife. But as it turns out, in the mid-season finale, we see how Mindy

In the story “Peaches”, Reginald McKnight introduces his main characters, one being Marcus. Marcus is a good guy, but he is described in many different ways, due to his bad temper and immaturity level. Throughout the work, author Reginald McKnight takes great care to illustrate situations and describe feelings and personalities that many men experience. This way, even though Marcus is having trouble controlling himself around other people and arrogant at times, he still tries to be a better person
A student from the alternate class made a mind map with such little information on it I'm surprised they did it at all. The grade of the former is yet to be seen. The latter received full credit. By grading my work with greater scrutiny, or by nitpicking, what do you
In the political cartoon displayed above shows the commander in chief, Barack Obama, and according to Wikipedia, “The go-to black leader, Al Sharpton. The former is holding a sign displaying the message written in all caps, “BLACK LIVES MATTER’’ making a statement to any passerby to see, while interestingly enough the later is holding a sign near his waist with what seems to be a disclaimer written, “*if Killed by whites.” What I find interesting besides the childish uniforms Obama and Sharpton
athlete, and her scholarship to State takes a great deal of pressure off her dad and it is something she has been working toward for years. She is heterosexual, which allows the reader to focus on how the novel queers the heteronormative, rather than nitpicking about how the main character is queer. The various aspects of Krissy’s identity are all interconnected, and “McClinton argues that race, gender and class are related realms of experience, but that they cannot simply be yoked together. They come
First impressions. Compartmentalize into themes. Point blank, Maus seems yet another cynical satire of history. Presumably, naysayers more than patrons, would condemn the gut of Spiegelman for toying with the idea as delicate as that of the Nazism tragedy. While prodding the misfortunes of another, much less this blow to mankind is taboo, the mind knows no bounds. Spiegelman devised an avenue by which the clandestines of war may be retold. Themes. While Maus is a blatant depiction of oppression
Composed by Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner can be viewed as an awesome book, however in the meantime, one that is excessively straightforward and too easily figured out. In discussions of The Kite Runner, one dubious issue has been the underlying levels of the novel. On one hand, numerous individuals trust that the novel is loaded with various subjects that are profound, making one consider the human experience as a whole, leaving the peruser thinking subsequent to completing the read. Then again
“Just because the people are average don’t mean that you've got to be average.” Many people want to fit into a crowd, so they will change the way the act. In this quote it says that just because people around you are average doesn't mean that you have to be average. It is telling the viewer that you don't have to have to average just because your pears are average. You can be successful and great even though people around you are just average I agree with this quote because many people want to fit
16d). The constant repetition of questions and confirmation in Euthyphro’s reasoning is what helps Socrates, in the end, prove Euthyphro wrong. As Socrates conversation get deeper and deeper, questions and answers tend to get off track, he starts nitpicking every detail that the big picture is often forgotten, so as man living with a philosophical attitude, he must clarify what he wants to

Tony Hoagland’s poetry is well known for his take on life and his poems have been chosen for the Brittingham Prize of Poetry. In “Fear of Narrative and the Skittery Poem of our Moment” by Tony Hoagland, Hoagland talks about how narrative is out and skittery is in. Meaning that structured and systematic poems are not the norm of our day and age but that fractured and chaotic poems are. Hoagland says, “Our age lacks the structure of a story. Or perhaps it would be closer to say that narrative implies
people tend to stress over what the audience thinks of them, but not me. It took me a long time to realize it, but every audience wants nothing more than to have a good time and enjoy the show. No one out in the crowd is analyzing your delivery or nitpicking your word choice. Everyone wants to believe that you are a great speaker. First, though, you must believe that yourself. My middle school years were a sort of social hibernation for me. I literally cannot remember talking to anyone other than my
Reimagining a Woman’s Role in the Church An Open Letter by Frank Viola This chapter was removed from Reimagining Church due to a lack of space. But there’s a footnote to this document in the book. See also God’s View of a Woman. Subjugation of women, in fact, is a symptom of man’s fallen nature. If the work of Christ involves the breaking of the entail [inherited consequences] of the fall, the implication of his work for the liberation of women is plain. Unwarranted assumptions have sometimes been

“Why I Disagree” – Isabella Jackson-Saitz From a very early age, perhaps the age of six or seven, I realized that I enjoyed disputing things. As I grew older, I attempted to curb this tendency, since I thought it might negatively impact people’s views of me, but I never intended to stamp it out, as it was too integral to my nature. I was the oldest child of two by three and a half years which led to a sense of my knowing best– as well as my sister’s habit of thinking she did. Like most elder siblings
