The first concept I picked from “The Hive” by Marchall Poe, was the openness of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that anyone can attribute to. Some people say it works likes that, and some people say that it doesn’t work well like that. Since anyone can add, or delete or use information off of Wikipedia, it makes it less controversial because anyone can put their input into the website. Say you don’t agree with something, that’s alright because you can add your own opinion. This concept is important because it allows the author to give a good explanation on why this kind of group could work well with society.…
Although that was good, also in the beginning you had two sentences in a row when it said “Branson, enraged”, try to change that. I also loved the part when the police were chasing you character. The amount of verbs you injected into those sentences made them more descriptive than if you hadn't put any in. Again, it made it seem like you were the one running, which is a very powerful thing in writing.…
1) How might you use the strategies for applying creativity to problems and issues in addressing this topic? In the article that I wrote about it discusses the issue of how Essex County Executive, Joe DiVincenzo, was using his campaign funds to pay for personal expenses. According to the article the laws concerning this matter requires disclosure of all expenses, including those incurred on a credit card. It also states that from 2002 to 2011 DiVincenzo had approximately $250,000 charged to his personal credit card, which was paid with the campaign account, but never gave any explanation as to what the charges were for. The strategy for applying creativity that would best be used for this issue would be to devise or modify a process or system. Apparently, the laws that are in place for this matter are not specific enough, and there is a lack of enforcement. These laws need to be modified to make their…

In Sharon Bird’s work, “Welcome to the Men’s Club: Homosociality and the Maintenance of Hegemonic Masculinity,” she explains what is homosociality and masculinity. Homosociality is when there are no sexual attractions held by men for members of their own sex. But according to Lipman-Blumen, homosociality promotes the distinction between men and women through segregation in social institutions. Not only that, Lipman says it also promotes the distinction of hegemonic masculinity and nonhegemonic masculinity between the opposing sexes. This leads to masculinity. Masculinity in Bird’s definition is divided into three different viewpoints, emotional detachment, competitiveness and the sexual objectification of women. Bird defines masculinity as being emotionally detached from all situations. For men to express feelings is to reveal vulnerabilities and weakness. It is not considered a social norm or socially acceptable to express emotion because emotion is associated with weakness and femininity. This results in men encouraging internalizing feelings and emotions to avoid being labeled as weak by their own male group. The second viewpoint of masculinity is competitiveness. Competition with other men demonstrates male dominance and masculinity. In Bird’s case, she reveals that men always compete to prove that they are better than the other person so they could become a higher rank in their hierarchy of masculinity. Those who do not compete are considered disadvantaged and weaker. Weakness is a trait that is considered associated with femininity. “A man risks a loss of status and self-esteem unless he competes” (Bird 128). The last viewpoint of masculinity, “sexual objectification of women,” is reviewed where male superiority is maintained. To maintain male superiority, men are expected to have less heteorosocial relationships and are expected to have more homosocial relationships. The reason for this is because Bird states that men should distance themselves from women.…

The topic I selected is on why American women vote in presidential elections. I would like to address the question as to why there is a gender gap between men and women voters? And which gender has a higher voter turnout? The gender gap has been an issue since the 1980’s, perhaps it just the sign of the times or the fact that women are just more concern with social issues or just more willing to vote. I choose this particular topic because I’m an American citizen that feels it is important that we practice our right to vote. I believe the voting turnout is a reflection of how women and men view politics. Overall, I want discuss a possible explanation. Perchance, when it comes to women voter’s legislators and politicians use social issues in…
To begin with, through all the writing assignments that I have written so far, I have showed to have the capacity to come out with good ideas. Thinking about possible reasons of the problem, consequences or even solutions to the topic, are all very important as the first step to begin. For instance, while writing assignment number two, I started with questions to make us think how armed guards may not be prepared to work with children, and I listed detailed examples on how its consequences can affect the kids’ welfare. In doing so, it can make the readers think profoundly, and realize that there is more to worry about over its negative consequences. In other words, deeply comprehending the topic helps to increase my and the readers’ critical thinking and develop better viewpoints and conclusions. Having good concepts, motivated me to write well-developed writings.…
