Influence of advertising on me and other people
Influence of advertising on me and other people. Advertising today has a lot to do with almost everything in my life and other people's everyday lives. Anywhere you go you come across some kind of advertisement, whether it is on the billboard, schools, television, public transportation like trains, bus, inside magazine and so on. It surrounds us everyday, everywhere, all the time. It has a large influence on me and most people in the world and should be limited. I believe that advertisement has a great influence on the type of clothes I wear. Televisions and posters show models wearing different clothing. The ads for Calvin Klein, H/M, Levi, Dress man are some of the examples. When models put on this kind of clothes and look good in them, I get the feeling that the clothes must be made good. And I also get another feeling that if I get to consume any of the clothes advertised it look as good on me as they did on the models. Advertising has an influence what other people eat. There are ads for hotdogs, hamburgers, ice cream, beer and the list keeps going. The people at McDonalds and Burger Kings sell all these at a relatively reasonable price which makes everyone longing to eat at these places. Of course, with all this, people forget the negative effects of eating this fast food. Take an example of the Big Mac and fries, the body consumes more calories if u eat it than as

Portfolio Assignment #2 Privacy and security issues that arise when using Health Information Technology to manage your information. Area of Impact: 3.3 Health October 5, 2010 Word Count: 999 News Item: http://healthinsurance.about.com/od/healthinsurancebasics/a/health_IT_overview.htm Presentation of the Issue Personal Health Records (PHR), Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Electronic Prescribing (eRx) are all forms of the Health Information Technology (HIT). HIT has become very popular in the past few years because it can benefit both the client and the doctors by managing health care information in an efficient way. Advantages that come along with using HIT would be reducing the amount of paperwork needed for medical records, reducing errors in prescriptions when reading doctor's handwriting and reducing the employment salary by eliminating workers that maintain medical records. Although many articles have agreed that "The advantages of EHR are extensive and no one can argue that point. 1"There can be consequences and disadvantages when using this type of technology to store personal information. Just like most communication systems, issues regarding security and privacy can arise. Problems like that can occur because many organizations, doctors, specialists and family members have access to your health information. Another issue that may apply would be the
Great Gatsby Exegesis Chap 4-9
Matthew Nguyen English 3 AP/IB Mrs. Hinman 4 October 2008 Chap. 4-9 Exegesis I suppose he'd had the name ready for a long time, even then. His parents were shiftless and unsuccessful farm people - his imagination had never really accepted them as his parents at all. The truth was that Jay Gatsby of West Egg, Long Island, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God - a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that - and he must be about His Father's business, the service of a vast, vulgar, meretricious beauty. So he invented just the sort of Jay Gatsby that a seventeen-year-old boy would be likely to invent, and to this conception he was faithful to the end. (Fitzgerald 98) In his portrayal of Gatsby's past, Fitzgerald uses diction to demonstrate the embracement of individualism by American society during the 1920's. Since individualism was the dominant ideology of the 1920's, Americans have always embraced the idea that individuals, not entities, had the ultimate authority in deciding America's course. Since the responsibility for determining one's life lay with the individual, he had the opportunity to engage in any activity he saw fit in order to become the person he wanted to be. For James Gatz, forming a new identity was his brand of individuality. "To spring" and "conception" suggest that Gatsby "created" himself, that he

Many people in day to day life are using this technology. This technology is being used in hotels, airports, restaurants, offices, homes, schools etc. Wi-Fi is a technology, which is replacing local area networks where wire is used for the connection to the Internet.

Imagery in Macbeth
Imagery in Macbeth Shakespearean theatre has brought about a great understanding of the historical environment at that time. William Shakespeare's Macbeth is one of many written plays, which has been preserved until today. In Macbeth, Shakespeare uses imagery to show Macbeth's overambitious goals and how they have an adverse affect on his mental health. William Shakespeare uses imagery to illustrate how Macbeth's desires to accomplish his ambitious goals are aroused. Firstly, Macbeth calls upon the night to help him hide his ambition when planning to commit the horrendous crime of murdering the kingship. When Duncan pronounces Malcolm as heir to the throne, Macbeth sees him as a hindrance to his ambitions and thus he calls upon the "Stars hide your fires/let not night see my deep and dark desires"(1.4.50-51). Macbeth's ambition is shown through the idea of night, and how night implies the hidden crimes. His ambition has come to the point where he is thinking about murdering Malcolm, who has been elected as Prince of Cumberland, because he views him as an obstacle in his course to become king. Moreover, Lady Macbeth further stimulates Macbeth's ambition by reminding him of what he must do in order to become king. She orders him to "look like the innocent/flower/ but be the serpent under't" (1.5.63-65) so that their evil desires are hidden from the public. She teaches him

Are Science and Religion Compatible?
Are Science and Religion Compatible? Over the last 200 years the debate over whether or not the two approaches to the universe, its creation and the way it works; science and religion can ever be compatible has grown significantly. At first glance it would appear that this could never be the case, as the existence of a god or the divine cannot be proved scientifically, and therefore the existence of such a being cannot be true. However, although the existence of a divine being cannot be proved by the methods of science, there are a number of arguments that contradict that this view disproves the existence of a god. Modern science is based on claims which are supported by evidence or empirical observations. It rests on true assumptions, whereas everything that went before rested on false assumptions, according to Horner and Westacott. Science is based on experience and is dependent on experimentation and observation in order to explain the way the world works. The scientific approach towards the creation of the earth is made up of claims which have been supported by evidence using a methodology, which distinguishes the scientific approach from a non-scientific approach. However a religious view of the creation of the universe is not based on evidence which has been collected from experimentation and observation, but on the authority of scriptures such as the bible, which have
Suspended Particulate Matter: a Primary Air Pollutant
Jesse Ethier Dr. Warner AP Environmental 3 November 2007 Suspended Particulate Matter: a Primary Air Pollutant Suspended particulate matter, alternatively referred to as particulates, aerosols, or fine particles, are tiny particles of solid or liquid suspended in gas. Particulate matter, or PM, is the term for particles found in the air, including dust, dirt, soot, smoke, and liquid droplets. Particles can be suspended in the air for long periods of time. Some particles are large or dark enough to be seen as soot or smoke. Others are so small that individually they can only be detected with an electron microscope. Particles less than 10 micrometers in diameter (PM10) pose a health concern because they can be inhaled into and accumulate in the respiratory system. Particles less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5) are referred to as fine particles and are believed to pose the greatest health risks. Because of their small size (approximately 1/30th the average width of a human hair), fine particles can lodge deeply into the lungs. Sources of particulate matter can either be natural or generated by human activities. The biggest natural sources are dust, volcanoes, and forest fires. Sea spray is also a large source of particles though most of these fall back to the ocean close to where they were emitted. The biggest human sources of particles are combustion sources,
