I don’t think that advertisements are outright misleading‚ but they are often meant to be deceptive. There are regulatory bodies in most western countries that are present to protect consumers from misleading advertisements. Companies that do promote products in an overtly misleading way face stiff penalties or lawsuits. As such‚ many firms are extra careful to protect themselves from potential legal action. For example‚ cereal boxes that portray an illustration of the contents inside will

Introduction: During Barack Obama’s tenure as president‚ states began implementing increasing restrictions on access to abortion.

Should the aesthetic (beauty) dimension replace the moral (goodness) dimension? To start I will give a description as to what I believe is the moral dimension. To explain this I will use an example of physics. We must all realize that the moral dimension is explained through the law of relativity which states that nothing is good or bad‚ big or small until it is related to something else. The law of relativity tells us that everything in our physical world is only made real by its relationship or

The Life Raft Debate is an annual event that takes place at the University of Montevallo‚ a liberal arts school in Alabama. At this event the audience is made up of current students who listen to their professors all vying for the last spot on the “life raft”‚ which is completely theoretical. The point of this exercise is to prove to the students that what they are learning is not useless for Liberal Arts. The forum is a chance for the students to say “make us believe we need you here” (Nancy Updike)

In his groundbreaking work The Search for Order 1877-1920‚ Robert Wiebe seeks to prove that the drastic changes seen in America at the turn of the century were not disconnected singular events. Instead there was a singular “deep-flowing current‚ which gave unity and meaning to the period as a whole” (VII).
