The class did not have any reading assignments for this week as we are going to watch the presidential debate during class. During this time‚ I will keep in mind the material and concepts we have been discussing so far in class. A topic that seems to reappear in class is the debate on whether environmental degradation should be considered an impairment to humans. This goes back to David Orr’s article and relates to Rebecca Pope’s article presentation. Aside from questioning the American political

There were numerous of insanely and outlandish commercials during the Super Bowl of 2015. Most of the commercials would have to advertise sex‚ kids‚ animals‚ or randomness in order to appeal audience. Then there are ads like the Dodge commercials. It sends a message that needs to be sent - respect wisdom. Social media can be cruel and demeaning especially to elderly people. The Dodge commercial that aired during the 2015 Super Bowl started off pretty pleasant‚ but that took a major turn quickly!

Feminism is not something I followed or researched prior to this assignment. I was guilty of using my gender and appearances to survive in the workplace despite my disgust at having to do so. In the professional setting I have smiled or played coy with the physicians who tormented and belittled me in an attempt to have them view me as a sweet young girl who certainly was no threat to them. This type of self deprecating‚ and flirtatious‚ behavior more often than not dissipated tension between myself

Evaluate the conduct of Peter Lewiston against the EEOC’s definition of sexual harassment. Bohlander and Snell’s definition of sexual harassment “refers to unwelcome sexual advances‚ requests for sexual favors‚ and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature” (Bohlander & Snell‚ 2013‚ p. 112). Thus‚ Peter Lewiston did not make any direct form of harassment based on the books definition of such; he did fall under the “Equal Employment Opportunity Commission” (EEOC) forms of recognized

Alexis Mrs. Ault AP 11 16 March 2014 Final Draft When parents send their kids to school‚ they assume that their children will be given a healthy nutritious lunch.

This is something that the school boards need to look into and put a stop to it because of how unhealthy school foods really are.

Kabot-Zinn clarifies that it is only required to pay attention and see things as they are in order to activate awareness‚ it does not require alteration.

Criticisms would only stimulate more negative thoughts and emotions. Moreover‚ our minds
