Essays
When writing I find topics I am passionate about. I utilize a edit and step away process after the initial draft. When the final first draft is not good enough I utilize the first draft to rewrite a second draft. Each essay is extensively researched and designed to both tell a bit about my passions and beliefs.
Boom or Bust: The Current State of The United States Economy
Statistical research shows that the United States Economy is performing the best it has in decades! The stock market returned 2.7 times its average, and entry-level pay is up 25% in many regions. However, economists say we are experiencing a supply chain crisis, a labor shortage, and the stock market’s CAPE rating is extremely high. So, with experts in disagreement, what is the state of the United States Economy?
True Story of American Greed: Movie Analysis
What do Americans love more than a story about American Greed? Nothing. Sex, drugs and money. These founding fathers are the building blocks of legends in our society. On Christmas Day, 2013, these glorified do-nots took the big screen in over 2,500 theaters! The world had never seen a movie so grotesque. According to Independent UK, 'The Wolf' is the most explicit movie ever, with over 700 uses of the F word. (Thorne, 2020) According to NY Daily surveys, the Wolf of Wall Street is the most inappropriate movie ever, giving it a 90.9 percent rating for severe nudity. (Daniels, 2020) The world was receiving one of the most raunchy, gluttonous, true stories it has ever had the opportunity to lay its eyes on. The star? America's beloved, Leonardo DiCaprio. The director? Widely recognized as one of the greatest EVER Martin Scorsese. Adding the comedic legend and co-star Jonah Hill, nude scenes from Margot Robbi, and an appearance from the man who lived the life, Jordan Belfort is just the icing on the cake. This dramedy's expectations were through the roof, so to determine whether this dramedy is a classic or bust, we have established four criteria.
Ethical Argument Analysis
On March 30th, 2022, Spencer Bokat-Lindell argued that we were experiencing the end of globalization as we know it. New debates about deglobalization have been sparked by the extreme global duress caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent sanctions enacted by the USA and western allies. These sanctions included the EU banning Russian oil by 2027, the USA sanctioning the largest banks in Russia, and the withdrawal of most major western corporations from Russian soil. These sanctions are not a global effort, which adds to the international pressure caused by the pandemic; and the hostility caused by lost factory jobs amongst the 1st world’s poor. This worldly tension has led to increased international military spending for the first time in 5 decades, causing developing and first world countries alike to move towards self-sufficiency. In this paper, I will identify Mr. Bokat-Lindell’s main arguments, argumental fallacies, and evaluate the argument as inductive or deductive, strong or weak, and cogent or uncogent; Mr. Bokat-Lindell’s standard form argument is as follows:
Perspectives at Play: Frederick Douglas, Malcolm X and I
I of course wasn’t around for slavery, nor personally can I relate to the hardships Douglass experienced. However, I do have points in my life that have helped me understand his perspective. We all know George Floyd. The travesty occurred on May 25th, 2020. The murder sent shockwaves through the nation, sparking protests both peaceful and violent. As a citizen of this country, I felt the obligation to go out to peaceful protests, as well as help people (particularly homeless) during nights of terror. During my time on the frontlines, one experience stood out more than the rest. This was the night of my birthday (May 29th, 2020). My friend and I went up to Denver and walked around downtown. In our time we saw homeless people in fear for their lives, storefronts being destroyed and looted, the WHOLE city defaced by graffiti, and civil unrest between citizens and 50 full SUV squad cars. It was like a movie. Looking back, a scene that I am grateful to have experienced. Beyond the scene, however, was a moment that will stick with me for the rest of my life.
At the age of 27, Jayson Blair was caught committing acts of fabrication and plagiarism that tainted the profession of journalism and the 171 years of publishing by the New York Times. The ethical issues took place in the late 90s, and early 2000s, when Blair lied about sources, expense sheets, and even plagiarized work from other journalists. This essay will first define the ethical case of Jayson Blair, then define the ethical dilemmas that took place, and finally, discuss solutions for publications to avoid future publishing of fabricated and plagiarized stories.
