M.4.2: Noticing Language

Read Bob Herbert’s “Jim Crow Policing.”  You will notice that Herbert uses two patterns that are especially effective in his essays: (1) the passive voice and (2) word repetition. (https://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/02/opinion/02herbert.html?_r=0)

The passive voice is applied to a verb in a sentence when the “doer” or actual “agent” of the action is after the verb in a “by” phrase or completely missing rather than before the verb. Also, a passive verb always includes a form of “be” and a past participle.

Examples: “is practiced,” “was frisked,” “has been stopped”

Agents can be added to a passive verb in a “by” phrase.

Passive: Racial profiling is practiced in New York (by the police).

Active: Police practice racial profiling in New York.

Writers often use the passive when they don’t know or don’t want to reveal the agent or “doer” of their action. Herbert relies heavily on the passive in his essay because in most cases he often doesn’t know who was responsible for the action he is calling into question.

Herbert starts his essay with a sentence in the passive voice:

“The New York City Police Department needs to be restrained” [by whom?].

1. What other passive verbs do you see in this essay? What effect does this linguistic pattern have on you as a reader?

2. Notice that all the sentences after paragraph 12 are in the active voice. What effect does this shift from passive to active voice have on the message that Herbert is delivering?

3. Herbert also repeats specific words that capture the readers’ attention and keep the focus on these particular concepts. Two examples are stop and frisk, which are repeated throughout the essay. Find three other words or parts of words that Herbert repeats in this essay. What is the effect of these repetitions?

** All this is , is reading the article and answering the 3 questions**

I need to reply to three classmates on a discussion post.

Each response should not be less than 100 words.

1)I believe the increase in plastic surgery by some of the most popular celebrities has influenced society in forms of eating disorders. As young kids and teenagers grow up the look up to the movie stars and entertainers on tv. If they see those people with perfect bodies they will want to be just like them. Without the resources to get fat removed or have professional chefs like celebrities due the one way to lose weight yes to not eat. Although this way isn’t a healthy option adolescences do not know this or do not understand why. I believe better knowledge at a young age to children can improve eating disorders. Kids should be educated about how celebrities get the bodies they currently have. They should also be educated on nutrition and the positive and negative affects about it. 

2)In my opinion, society has contributed to the development of various forms of disordered eating in multiple ways.  Society tells you how you should look and not how you should change habits to get this look.  Society does its best to show examples of the “perfect image” but they do not give examples of how to achieve that image.  There are so many ads and pictures showing models and making people want to change the way they look, but there are no ads to go along with them to tell the proper way to reach that body type.  Without the proper instructions on how to reach their fitness goals, people try to find their own solutions the only way they think they can.  This leads to these eating disorders.  I believe that if society did not just place an ad stating how everyone should look, and placed an ad telling how to change bad habits and lifestyles in order to be healthy and then this look would come with it, these disorders would fade out.  Another way to reduce the problem would be to stop focusing on the image that is being put out and start focusing on the health that should matter more than image, then people would be more motivated to do things the right way and live healthier lives.

3)Off the top of my head, I can see many ways that society has led to the development of various eating disorders. The largest one that comes to mind immediately to me would be the most broad and general one. That being the topic of ‘body shaming’.

In this day and age where social media is a mainstay in people’s lives, the very concept of what is considered ‘normal’ has become undefined. The kind of technology and software that can photoshop regular people to look perfect has become so readily available that it has become all you really see anymore. Because of this, the majority of the generation that develops during this time don’t  even have the chance to define a ‘normal’ for them and try to hold themselves to extreme standards to emulate these people. Such mentality can lead to disorders such as anorexia and bulimia.

Of course, there are ways to reduce the problem. However, like most things, it is easier said than done. The large majority of responsibility to solve this goes to newer generations. Self-esteem can not be given but, it can be taken away. It is important for parents to be involved and interactive during their child’s development so that their heads are not filled with the these impossible expectations. Another way would be to surround yourself with like minded people who do not care what you look like. Teenagers can be quite cruel with their words and having even just a small group of friends can be a reminder that not everyone is going to judge your entire value on your appearance.

The biggest problem with the social media ‘body shaming’ problem is that there is no clear-cut, easy way to solve it. The people who put out a falsified image of perfection for attention are not doing anything illegal and the regulation of that kind of content across social media is impractical at this point. It is up to the new generations to have will and mental fortitude to resist such influences.

  First, go to https://www.grantham.edu/m/catalog.pdf  and select three general education courses that you feel are significant to a college student’s education. 

Then create a tri-fold brochure in which you explain why it is essential that a college student complete each one of these courses.  Be creative; use pictures associated with attending college.  Your brochure should be a professional document; grammar, spelling, and punctuation are important.

Use the brochure template to develop your tri-fold brochure.  NOTE: While this layout does not seem to make sense if you view it as a flat Word document, recall that the final product would be folded.

Here are the guidelines for presenting your information. The pages of the linked template have been labeled to help you organize your brochure.

·  COVER

o  This is the front cover of the brochure.

o  Create an interesting title and include relevant artwork – entice the viewer to open the brochure.

·  PAGE TWO

o  This is the first page the viewer sees upon opening the brochure.

o  In your own words, provide an overview of the General Education program.

·  PAGE THREE

o  List the first general education course

o  Use your own words to explain why this course is essential

·  PAGE FOUR

o  List the second general education course

o  Use your own words to explain why this course is essential

·  PAGE FIVE

o  List the third general education course.

o  Use your own words to explain why this course is essential.

·  PAGE SIX

o  This is the back cover of the brochure.

 o  Feel free to add artwork or other information on this column. 

Begin your paper with a brief introductory paragraph that clearly states what positions you are going to argue for. State what metaethic you will defend, the issue in applied ethics to which you will be applying it, and the conclusion(s) on that issue that you want to defend. 

Next provide a lengthy and detailed explanation of your metaethic. This will likely reflect the metaethic that you argued for in your Discussion Board Three thread and the feedback that you received from the classmate or classmates who responded to your thread. Here you can go into much more detail than you could in the Discussion Board, which was limited to 600 words. If you use half of your paper to develop your metaethic, then it will contain approximately 1100 words, which means that it will be roughly twice as long as your Discussion Board thread was. 

Once you have fully explicated and argued for your metaethic, proceed to an application of that metaethic to the applied ethics issue that you discussed in your Discussion Board Four thread. This discussion may end up being twice as long as your discussion board thread was. Add detail, nuance, and argumentation, providing a fairly complete and comprehensive argument for approaching the issue the way that you do. You may illustrate the issue with real-life examples, but please do not fill your paper with anecdotes. You should anticipate possible objections to your approach to the issue and respond to them in an objective and informed manner. (For ideas on how others might object to your approach, a good place to begin would be your classmate’s reply to your DB4 thread, but you needn’t stop there. Your own imagination and the many books and articles that have been published on issues in applied ethics can provide a wealth of possible arguments relevant to every issue.)

Your final paragraph(s) should reflect that you have accomplished your thesis. It should recap what you have accomplished and how you have accomplished it. 

     Choose a target behavior for your Week 5 Self-Management Project.

        Write a 175-word summary on the target behavior in observable and measurable terms.             Include the methods that will be used to observe and acquire baseline data.

PART II.

Respond to the following questions in 175 to 250 words each.

1. Choose a behavior you would like to shape on someone you know. Select a terminal and initial behavior and the steps you would use to shape the behavior. Would you utilize punishment or reinforcement? Would fixed or variable outcomes play a role in your procedure?

2. Choose a task that you would teach a 5-year-old child to perform. Consider some of the following:

tying shoe laces, brushing teeth, making a sandwich, making a bed, and so forth. What would your

task analysis look like? For example, what would the steps be and how many steps would you

have? Once you develop the task analysis, what might you do before putting it into place to ensure

its effectiveness?

1. You just taught a shy 2nd-grade student how to ask for help when he needed it on his vocabulary sight words rather than sitting quietly and not completing his work. However, you want the behavior to occur in other settings when he needs help. What process would you follow to teach him how to ask for help in multiple contexts?

1. Conversly, one of the 2nd-grade boy’s classmates is raising her hand and asking for help even on tasks she knows how to complete. This happens during recess, in phys ed, or when given a task she has completed multiple times before. What process would you follow to teach when and where raising her hand is appropriate?
