Dear Executive Board of Alpha Kappa Psi, Max Foster has recently contacted me about my discharge in the pledge class of the fall of 2015. I understand the policy for a failed quiz. I am requesting the permission to look at quiz 1 from October 7 chapter meeting. From my stand point, at least to say, I learned all the the information in both quizzes by heart because it means much more than just a plain text to me. The previous night, I spent hours studying for both quizzes with my fellow pledge brothers who are willing to vouch for me.…
Lastly, the final parts of the rhetorical situations are the constraints. The constraints in this article directly lay in the time period at which it was written. The second feminist wave had been occurring for at least a decade by the time Judy Brady had published this in Ms. Magazine. It would be another eight to nine years before computers were mass produced and sold to the public; meaning there was no public access to internet articles and therefore, one of the only ways her article could have been read would have been inside Ms. Magazine. Besides the magazine itself, she would read Why I Want a Woman at conventions and feminist rallies.…
Rhetorical Analysis Project: The Future Generation is Over Controlled Civil liberties, or personal freedoms are personal freedoms of thought, behavior, or expression that any authorities cannot abridge by law or by judicial interpret ion without due process. As one of the universal applications, personal freedom-a human right-should not be interpreted culturally or contextually(Franck, 593). For example, China’s Fundamental Rights and Duties of Citizens claims to protect many civil liberties. The U.S. constitution, especially the Fourteenth Amendment, protects civil rights by introducing a series of clauses. Hence, ideally, citizens should enjoy freedom from forced disappearance, freedom from torture, and also the right to security, privacy…

Higgins et al (1986) study demonstrates the effects of this discrepancy in individuals. Researchers investigated this discrepancy among different aspects of anxiety and depression. They studied a group of students in order to discover if the discrepancy between actual and ideal/ought selves is low or high. They measured dejection and agitation before and after priming one of these 'selves' with the use of several questionnaires and scales. Results showed that when one tries to prime the ideal self it can result in dejection.…
efore learning the top different uses of medical marijuana strain – Girl scout cookies, you might be interested to know that researches of this issue involve medical marijuana or its individual psychoactive compounds administered in carefully measured doses which is a far cry from the variability in marijuana strains sold on streets or in dispensaries. According to the words of Ivor Grant, MD, Chair of the department of psychiatry of the University of California San Diego School of Medicine: "That's the equivalent of buying penicillin at a flea market». Thus, the FDA didn’t remove marijuana from its schedule, which it reserves for substances that have no acceptable medical use.…
I remember the first time I wrote an essay that was being graded at the college level. This was in my junior year when I took AP Language and Composition, our first essay was a rhetorical analysis essay from a very old excerpt that used old english and was very hard to read. When I first started reading the passage I started to get nervous because I didn't understand what the text was saying but then I started to annotate and the passage began to make sense. I found many rhetorical strategies that the author used and I then began to outline the essay in my head.…

One example, a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention optimally and therefore cannot learn efficiently. Secondly sleep itself has a role in the consolidation of memory, which is essential for learning new information.…
English composition was never my strong nor favorite because of my knowledge of the grammar and organization in my writing. Taking English 101 is a jump start for me, because last year of high school my teacher focused primarily on English literature. The course has introduced me to rhetorical analysis, and swatching (imitating author argument). Throughout the semester and all of the papers written I can say that it was a good experience to write at a college level and the expectation from college professors is good for future courses that involve writing essays.…
