The difficulty of arriving in a conclusive decision necessitated a meeting of lawyers and ...

Borschel, A. (2012) Sleuthing the truth in the media. Washington: IBJ Book Publishing.

In “Sleuthing the truth in the media”, the author Audrey Borschel questions the truthfulness of media and of the messages that it sends. Borschel argues that in the current world, when the thirst of information is so high and people are dependent on interesting, engaging and sometimes scandalous news, journalists tend to deliver precisely these assets, while transforming the truth into what people want. Nevertheless, this comes with a cost: the cost of the accuracy of the news and the cost of the integrity of the journalists. Various media contents are being analyzed in order for their messages to ...

Martin Luther King Jr.’s name is synonymous with the Civil Rights Movement in the United States of America. As the most prominent figure of the moment, understanding his life goal and mission are crucial to understanding what fueled the movement itself.

This sheds light on how and how his background was important in order to prepare him as a leader of the Civil Rights Movement.
Martin Luther King Jr. was not born with that name, but was born January ...

In December 7th, 1941There were attacks on the Pearl Harbor base in Hawai’i by the Japanese. At the time of the attacks, the numbers of soldiers in the base were minimal since some had closed whereas others were on weekend leaves. The incoming Japanese planes that attacked the naval base were detected, but were mistaken to a group of American planes that were expected to arrive in the naval base from the mainland. These attacks were survived and took about two hours, and the reason that made them have a big impact is the fact that it had caught The USA ...

Winston Churchill’s speeches are remembered not only for their oratory superiority but also for their effectiveness and capacity to elicit responses from the public and the general political space. An example of this is the famous Iron Curtain speech made on March 5th 1946, where he changed democratic Western perceptions of the Communist East regions of the Soviet Union. Churchill’s speech, entitled “The Sinews of Peace” was a unifying call for the British to be strategic and in their post war actions. This speech was effective in changing perceptions on communism because it comprised all the hallmarks of a ...

Ethos

Ethos refers to the credibility of the person presenting his speech or an appeal he makes to authority. In other words, it is how well an orator convinces his audience, so that it can be confident in him as qualified to speak on a particular subject. Ethe (plural of ethos) can arise in ways such as one being a notable figure in the field in which he is speaking, for instance, a CEO in a company or a college professor in a certain faculty. Moreover, it can also arise due to one having vested interests in a matter, in question. Nonetheless, ethos can arise by one ...

The term Bleeding Kansas culminated from the violence that occurred from mid to late 1850’s. The violence began in 1854, after the introduction of the Kansas-Nebraska Act (History par 1). The act came to overturn the use of latitude as a boundary by the Missouri Compromise. The boundary separated the slave and free territory but people felt that the area should be a free state. However, other residents felt that it should remain as a slave state. As the arguments continued, more proslavery people as well as free-state settlers came to Kansas to join in the movement. In a short period, the ...

“It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate”. Such was the opening assertion of the United States Supreme Court in deciding the landmark case of Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, decided in 1969. What followed in the constitutional history of what came to be known as “school speech” involves a number of cases that have essentially followed Tinker’s holding, only modifying its nuances and contemplating the ever-changing concern of the state over the welfare of its students and their role ...

Single subject research has always posed some significant challenges to researcher s and scientists working in the field of experimental psychology. The fact remains that unlike popular opinion, single subject research can have statistical validity and can provide the necessary tools to provide usable data during many experiments(Kratochwill, 1978). Horner et al., (2005) provided some useful insights on how to assess the quality of a single subject research paper.

The human brain consists of two halves, the right and left hemispheres (Kennison, 2013). Also known as the logical brain, the left hemisphere regulates language and analysis. On the other hand, the right hemisphere, otherwise known as the creative brain, regulates imagination and daydreaming (Kennison, 2013).
Researchers in the early nineteenth century discovered that an injury on the left hemisphere caused the loss of language and speech abilities (Kennison, 2013). Conversely, injuries on the right hemisphere did not cause the loss of language and speech abilities. Further studies have supported the hypothesis that language and speech abilities are ...

The introduction and advancement of the internet has brought with it many wonderful experiences to the general population. Many individuals today primarily seem entrenched with texting, downloading apps, blogging, and social networking media. All of these, and several other popular outlets, allow the user to have a voice. Portals like Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, and Reddit give the user a readily made microphone; oftentimes the user does not even have to claim their comments. Essentially, many voices on the internet are anonymous. While sometimes this behavior is good-natured, in other situations it can become harassment. It can even become dangerous or criminal. ...

Introduction
Most lawyers grapple with First Amendment Issues Daily according to Professor Marvin Amori as they have to deal with laws that govern and concern speech and consequently write rules on them. Laws on speech are a crucial component in the society due to their significant contribution not only to national matters but also in global corporate boards as well as different public and private institutions. These lawyers therefore have to operate globally and are not only concerned with the First Amendment of the United States constitution but with customs, laws, and practices of different foreign nations (Mark 2238).

Terrorist attacks and their live coverage impact the psychology of people in a serious manner. It is extremely horrific to watch terrorist attacks on television but reading them in newspapers also makes parallel effects on the psyche of people. A lot has been discussed on this issue, and there is a difference of opinion among different sections of the society. Some people say that media is just doing its job while others say that portrayal of terrorist attacks should be regulated, and media should avoid portraying ghastly things. It has been observed in a number of cases that portrayal of such ghastly ...

In order to have earned the occasional titles of “father of empiricism” or “father of experimental philosophy,” Sir Francis Bacon certainly had to make noteworthy and enduring contributions to scientific thought. His inventions are not drawn out on paper with schematics and did not directly address human plant anatomy, the cosmos or create a steam-powered machine, but are instead philosophical in nature, allowing perhaps an even greater and more impactful and broad-reaching legacy in virtually every field of science, technology and related subjects.
Francis Bacon was born in 1561 in London into an educated family. He was the second ...

In everyday life, in trains, buses and in the streets, we can often see the deaf people. They always attract the attention of the public: people strenuously pretending that they have absolutely no interest, yet are secretly watching deaf. What do at that moment people with disabilities to communicate feel? Is it difficult? How is it to live life not hearing a word? What a person feels, whose life lies within his inner world?
For a deaf person the world around is perceived in another way. For example, if parents teach a deaf child to talk, to do it, they need to ...

Autism has a long past, but a short history. The story of autism begins with legends and tales of children being left by elves in return for stolen. In real history already in the 18th century medical texts are known, containing descriptions of people who are likely to suffer from autism (although the term was not used yet) – they did not talk, were excessively closed and had unusually good memory.
Scientist of the previous centuries who approached the problem of people with autism the most was French explorer J.M. Itar, who described this state on the example of a 12-year-old boy ...

According to Hoffman, Bennett and Dell (2009), evidence based practices have helped health sectors grow swiftly as it has helped them improve the patient outcomes. It encourages innovations thereby improving the medics’ knowledge and reasoning skills with regard to swallowing disorders or communication disorders.

A discourse community refers to a group of people or communicators who share a common goal or interest and therefore choose to go by a selected way of participating in public activities. These people also have a way of engaging that distinctively sets them aside from the larger group of people in a particular setting (Bakhtin66). The preferred way of engagement is commonly referred to as discursive practices. These are the practices that a discourse community chooses to use and they include various genres. These genres can be books, academic papers, debates and even physical activities. In Oklahoma University, there are various discourse communities that ...

A brief review of its use and effectiveness

The word ‘war’ for any nation signifies the danger or uncertain situation imposed upon it by another nation or army. Acknowledging that the nation is in war, calls upon its citizens to do all they can individually and collectively to help the country fight the war. For the citizens, war and war threat situations have been seen to induce a sense of patriotism and unity, in the face of the common enemy. This is exactly what the politicians and law enforcement people seek to leverage by raising war rhetoric in crime prevention. War rhetoric is increasingly resorted to as a means ...

ABSTRACT

This paper examines some of the contemporary theory regarding rhetoric in the electronic age. It begins by considering the fate of English Departments faced with the much-vaunted ‘death of the book’, but quickly moves on to the weightier matters of the rhetoric of the visual and the consequent enfeeblement of rhetoric in the electronic age. It considers both the positive and negative impacts of digital media. It goes on to argue and eventually conclude that the deterioration of rhetoric (which it argues began before the digital revolution) and the homogeneity of the rhetoric of the visual is a deliberate policy ...

- Evaluate Lukianoff's and Scott's arguments for and against free-speech zones on college campuses. Evaluate which person made the stronger argument.
Greg Lukianoff argued that a policy on free-speech zones is a curtailment of an individual’s or group’s freedom of expression – given the fact that “only a tiny portion of the campus” is allowed for use during protests/rallies. He strongly believed that anything that impedes or hinders people for free speech is a violation of their constitutional rights. He calls for the toppling of all free speech zones to make them all, ultimately, free speech zones (that is, that there ...

Slavery was a common theme in Henry’s speech. What specific imagery did Henry use to illustrate his message? Why would those images have resonated so strongly with his audience?
Henry used the tyranny of Great Britain as his imagery in depicting slavery.

The continued maltreatment of the British, alongside the failed efforts of Virginia to cultivate peace within the state, prompted Henry to encourage his fellow ...

Introduction

Speech and articulation disorders do not necessarily lead to disability but these disorders definitely affect an individual in a multitude of ways. An individual suffering from the congenital disorder cleft palate for example, would most likely exhibit obvious signs and symptoms of speech and articulation impairments, mainly because of the anatomical distortion of the muscles and other facial structures used in articulation. These individuals’ speech may well be distorted for the rest of their lives if left untreated because there is no natural way of repairing damaged articulation structures. There is a statistically significant portion of the infant population suffering from ...

Flag Burning as a Symbolic Speech

Nature of the case
When thinking about the symbols of a nation, the flag comes into mind; this is the principle upon which a country is built and of national unity. The flag possesses a special and revered role that is exhibited with pride from different groups and individuals. The lingering question is what would happen in the event that the flag is treated with disrespect, or dishonored. The Supreme Court of the United States addressed flag burning issues and free speech on Texas vs. Johnson. The burning of the American flag is expressive or symbolic speech and it fell within ...

There are 4 approaches for a presentation development. These include a workshop, a lecture and speech, a group activity, and a discussion. All these approaches are called public speaking when presented to group of people. Each of the four mentioned approaches in presentation should include the three rhetorical triangle elements. For that reason, the approaches require connecting all these elements since when one misses, the entire presentation will fail.
Starting with a workshop, this is an approach when a speaker talks to a given group of people so as to teach and show them the way a given project is done. Thus, the speaker presents information about ...

Psycholinguistics is a branch of applied linguistics which is concerned with the study of how word meaning, sentence meaning, and discourse meaning are computed and represented in the mind (Field, 2003).Psycholinguists study the manner in which complex words and sentences are produced in speech and how they are broken down into their constituent parts in the processes such as listening and reading .Basically, psycholinguistics is concerned with the understanding of how language is ‘done’.
Linguistic communication inherently involves the resolution of uncertainty over a potentially unbounded set of possible signals and meanings. The problem ...

Indeed, a smile is a nonverbal form of communication. This is essentially because through a smile, one is able to show his or her inner feelings and emotions. Naturally, a smile communicates approval or happiness with something. In fact, nonverbal communicators have learnt to distinguish two broad categories of smiles. The first category is the genuine smile that is supposed to communicate one’s happiness to the recipient. Such a smile is usually natural and authentic. The other type of smile is the false smile usually lacking in authenticity and natural taste. The latter smile is usually pretentious and hypocritical and a recipient can pick ...

Research was once carried out by linguist Jennifer Coates on the aspect of gender and language. The research was solemnly focused on determining both male and female gender approach on the way they convey different messages, both in writing and also spoken, indiscriminate of whether the message at hand was formal or informal. Interestingly, it was found out that both men and women have a completely different approach to language, be it spoken and/or written. For instance, women are known to spend more of their time gossiping as compared to those of opposite sex. The research further reveals that women ...

There are several studies that have been conducted to analyse women’s and men’s speech across various cultural identities. The main goal of the studies has been to find out whether there is a difference in the way men and women speak. Speech behaviour of both genders can be analysed in respect to language usage, phonology, verbal choice and the general interactions between men and women in discourse.

Conventionally, most of the sociolinguists look at the issue of gender in discourse in connection with the level of education, ethnic background, socio-economic status and the age of the individuals involved. ...

USA is known for being a country of freedom. Many people from other parts of the world come to the USA for their rights. Yet the citizens of USA are allowed to vote by law, and non-citizens(Green card holders) are not. My argument, therefore, is that the right to vote should be extended to all permanent residents of the U.S, rather than strictly holding some off by through the law.

Voting is one of the main events that happen in USA. People who are eligible to vote must have full citizenship of USA and can not be serving sentences ...

The Left versus the Right Sides of the Brain: Their Impact on Learning

The higher brain – the cerebral cortex – is anatomically divided into two hemispheres – the right and the left. Although the two hemispheres are basically similar in structure, microscopic differences exist, and their functional abilities and propensities are different. These functional differences are described as ‘hemispheric asymmetry’ (Hellige, 1993). The left hemisphere controls sensory and motor functions of the right side of the body, and vice versa. The layman’s percept is that the left hemisphere is responsible for symbolic processes, production and perception of language, and rational thinking, while the right is involved in artistic, intuitive, and creative thinking. This ...

Contrary to popular belief, the issue of African-American racism and slavery in the United States did not begin in the early 1970s. Slavery has already begun in the early 1700s with most of these slaves transported from Africa and other far-flung regions, while some African slaves married Hispanic Americans who were also treated like slaves. Many slaves had resigned to their faith and considered themselves lucky if they would have gained their freedom in those days. However, like the recent slavery and racism movement in the 1970s, there were those who dreamed to remove the boundaries raised by slavery. ...

Different methodologies are applied by researchers in their attempt to explain problems faced by organizations. There’s interrelationship with other disciplines such as economics, industrial relations, sociology, political science, psychology among others to this regard. As time goes by, newer organizational constructs as well as theories are developed to address certain phenomenon that have not yet been identified while others attempt to develop new mechanisms of dealing with old problems. Such organization research studies include the Discourse of Globalization, Fuzzy-set approach to typologies in organization research, healthcare safety and quality improvement research among others.

The church may have its constitutional right to free speech, but I believe it should not ...

1. Why did you pick your speech?

The main reason I chose this speech is that despite it being 52 years old its’ message is still significant today. This speech focuses on vices, hardships and terrors which we currently face today and were faced in the yester years. The speech is direct, simple and eloquent. Its message is concise; it is the fourth shortest inaugural speech delivered, 13 minutes and 59 second. However, it is ranked by historians as one of the best inaugural speeches of all time (Grier, 2011).

Introduction

Far right extremists use populist jargon to appeal to the citizens of various countries in Europe. Authors Schellenberg and Langenbacher (2011) reported that out of thirteen right-wing extremist partys 7 won seats in national European parliaments in 2009. The most seats won were 9 seats in the Italian parliament with 10.2% of the vote. The authors report eleven out of the 13 won seats in national and in the last local (municipal or regional) elections. This trend is startling enough to understand the right-wing is using language that appeals to people. (Schellenberg and Langenbacher 2011).

Aristotle and Ethos: The Course and Consequence of Rhetoric

ABSTRACT

Aristotle’s Rhetoric detailed the components of persuasion, atomizing a form of communication that he recognized as indispensable to the Democratic process. He concluded that rhetoric in the hands of well-educated and trained philosophers could attain the status of art. Based on an understanding of human nature, the practice of rhetoric came to serve the purposes of men who understood human nature only too well. Today, the practice of politics has given rise to the cynical use of a rhetoric aimed at manipulating public opinion through superficialities.

Aristotle’s conception of rhetoric was based on – among other things – notions of ...

The Function and How It Operates

Like the heart, the brain is one of the core components of the human body alongside the spinal cord and it controls the nervous system. The brain is encased and protected by the skull and a small network of nerves stem out from the brain through the spinal cord and the other organs of the body to send information to them to function. It is an organ made up of billions of nerve cells or neurons connected by axons and dendrites or biological wires to other neurons such as muscle cells or glands. Since the brain can also control every ...

Introduction

Rhetoric is defined as “the art or study of using language effectively and persuasively” (thefreedictionary). Throughout history, the relationship between rhetoric and music has often been a close one, especially in the Baroque period (rhetoric).
The term ‘baroque’ was derived from the Portuguese barroco, meaning “oddly shaped pearl.” Since the nineteenth century, it has been much used to define the era in Western European music from around 1600 through to 1750 (Baroque). The comparison of history’s greatest musical masterpieces to a misshapen pearl seems unwarranted today. However, the critics of the nineteenth century who coined the phrase felt that ...

The Apology, by Plato is a version speech that was given by Socrates to defend himself from charges made to him. Some of this charges included being analytical into things that were below the sky and earth and hence believing in different gods (daimonia) from the city gods, corrupting the youth and making the stronger arguments being defeated by the weaker argument, and also teaching people for a fee. In the Apology, Socrates was not making any excuses or apologizing for anything as the word literally means. He is not sorry for anything but making defenses for his actions and beliefs. ...

Abstract

Language is a system of transmitting views and expressing ideas in form of speech or in written forms. The vocabulary of any language is a lexicon and it is serves as a connection between a sign and its meaning in any language. Therefore language is divided in three parts: signs, meaning, and a code connecting signs and meanings. In any Language there are four levels which are used to analyse the language. These levels are: Phonology which analyses sounds; Morphology which analyses units forming a language structure; Syntax which analyses rules and principles in forming sentences; and Semantics which analyses the relationship between signs and ...

Formation of speech is one of the basic characteristics of the general development of the child. Speech for the child is the most important means of communication with the outside world, interacting with others, as well as information for the development of cognitive activity and thinking. Therefore, the development of speech is closely connected with the formation of all other mental abilities. Signs of the backlog in the development of speech is a reason for immediate treatment and a visit to the doctor (pediatrician, child neurologist, otolaryngologist, a child psychiatrist, a speech therapist, psychologist). This is especially important, because ...

Unlike others institutions in the society, there exist no code of conduct which regulates the freedom of speech among university students. Freedom of speech has become a major issue in recent days.
