Unit 3 Assignment 2: Exploratory Paper
War – U.S. vs. Iraq
There is a lot of debate right now as to if the United States should go back to war with Iraq. Both sides of this debate, the people that are for going back to war and the people who are totally against it, have legitimate points” pro” and “con”. However, a lot of the people that are” Pro” engaging in war with Iraq again do not realize the underlining issues which exist. The United States just got out of a war with Iraq which brings up a lot of questions if we should go back or not. There are a few questions that most people do not sit down and truly think fully about.
The United States mission the first time was to find and detain Osama bin Laden after he ordered the 9/11 attack. During the war many soldiers’ lives were lost, severely injured and/or changed drastically. Our soldiers that were injured or gave the ultimate sacrifice did it to keep our country safe and help the Iraqi government get control of their country. We did finally find and kill Osama Bin Laden but to what cost. A lot of families will never be the same due to this war, they lost brother, sisters, sons, daughters, uncles, aunts, and cousins. The United States completed their mission and helped with establishing a new government structure; therefore the war should be over and let the Iraqi government try to fend for themselves. The U.S. has gone into even more debt due to this war.
One big question people are asking is “does America even have enough resources and money to go back to war?” The truth is America probably does not have enough resources to fuel a war and we will go farther into debt. In reality, the U.S. has not recovered fully yet from the first Iraq War. So economically, the United States is far from ready to get into another war.
The benefits of going to war are actually not that great. The US is still trying to show other countries that we are still a super power and should be feared is not...
...suggests that child A needs more help on understanding the different numbers. We can do this by planning activities to help gain numeracy skills, which are appropriate to the age and stage, and suggest that at home they practise counting and recognising numbers to progress onto the same or a similar level as the expected rate. Child A also showed that he was able to use both hands and equal strength when colouring in and was able to use good hand eye co-ordination, to encourage his to use his leading hand, which was picked up as the right when using a knife and fork, the practitioner could use techniques that stops him from from using his left hand, such as sitting on it or even holding a soft ball.
According to Michael Gurian,
"Research shows us that boys' brains are 'wired' in such a way that language is a more difficult skill for them to acquire and use effectively in learning than it is for girls."
(Gurian M & Stevens K 2012)
D2 - Explain how the observations can be used to support planning to meet the child’s needs.
It is vital to do observations within a childcare setting as it benefits the practitioners, as it provides information and evidence. When doing the observation it is important that the child is engrossed in the activity chosen as it allows the child to act themselves. Observations undertaken in E4 can help a practitioner when planning to meet the children's individual needs, this is due to having accurate information regarding the...
...IraqWar, Unjust or Just
On March 19th 2003, President George W Bush opened his address to the nation by saying “My fellow citizens, at this hour American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger.” (CNN) Bush’s address was the beginning of a costly and long war that resulted in hundreds of thousands of causalities and a hefty increase in national debt. As the U.S slowly recovers from the tragedies caused by the IraqWar, Americans questioned the original justification for the U.S government to invade Iraq.
There is no seldom-clear way to determine the justification for war but for centuries philosophers have used just war theory to assess the morality of it. Essentially, just war theory is a set ethical principals used to assess war. Just war theory is split into two categories: ‘the right to go to war’ (jus ad bellum) and ‘right conduct in war’ (jus de bellum). While assessing the IraqWar, jus ad bellum (JAB) will be referred too in order to determine U.S’s justification for declaring war. JAB consists of six criterion, which all must be met in order for a declaration of war to be classified as morally just. The...
Today I read “TWITTER GOES TO COLLEGE” by Zach Miners. This is about how different professors at different colleges around the country are incorporating the social media site “Twitter” into their classrooms. Essentially “Twitter” uses 140 character maximum blurbs that can be viewed by anyone. This is easy for classrooms to use when they have too many people in the classroom. This allows the students to send in their opinion of the topic without being shut out by someone talking louder than them. It is also helpful for professors who want to keep up to date on topics that have something to do with the class. Though it is helpful, there is also criticism about how it decreases attention span and makes grammar worse, but there are also many benefits, some of which we still have yet to see.
The author takes the side of the implementation of Twitter into the classroom. He sees it as a beneficial tool that can help each and every student, from the person who knows every answer, to the quiet person at the back of the classroom. The author puts in the information about some of the different professors that have implemented Twitter into the classroom and the benefits it has reaped on their classes. The author makes a great move to include the people who have laid down criticism against the use of Twitter. This makes the writer’s argument more valid and makes it sound more professional, as...
Introduction to Marketing
Cadburys Dairy Milk chocolate- Information sheet 1
Customers and consumers
A person that purchases for the product or service is a customer, whereas the consumer is the ultimate user of the product or service. A person can be both the customer and consumer. This applies to Cadburys consumer markets, and the customer may not be the end user of the product. For example, if you buy a Cadburys dairy milk chocolate bar for your friend, you are the customer and your friend is the consumer.
Cadburys must achieve the defining and profiling of consumer markets to be successful marketers. They define potential customers and consumers in terms of:
What they want for the price?
What ways of communication they can be best reached through?
What they expect from the product itself?
What method of distribution will be most convenient for them?
Buyers including business to business
It is not only individuals in the consumer marketplace that have the potential to buy, as buyers also exist in the business to business market. B2B markets are individuals that have the responsibility of purchasing on behalf of the business. Cadbury have both individual and business to business consumers. They trade with all major supermarkets and superstores, but also sell to local and private shops. This way they can broaden their distribution and reach customers and...

Today I read LET’S STOP SCARING OURSELVES by Michael Crichton. It is about a man who is taking a look back at his life and the different views that have captivated the country, and even the world, over his lifetime. He talks about the different scares like how power lines caused radiation that would cause cancer, how we would run out of natural resources like oil and gold by 1993, and how the population would be at 14 billion by 2030 which would cause starvation and famine before that. Each of these claims turned out to be nothing soon after they were publicized. Most people feared these things and would take drastic measures to avoid them, only to find out that they didn’t even exist in the first place.
The author did a great deal of research on these topics, each of them being debunked soon after being publicized. By writing about this, he shows his experiences in his life and how many people have changed their lives to avoid these “fears” that don’t even exist. Some events, like Y2K, even caused people to sell their houses and take all their money out of the banks in order to avoid the disasters that would soon consume the world. He also talks about the fear of global freezing in the 1960s, which soon turned into a fear of global warming.
I agree with the author when he says that it is freeing to not worry about these issues. They cause added stress to the believers, stress that should...
Chapter Review and TRACE
1. What are the five elements in the rhetorical situation? Use TRACE to help
Text, Reader, Audience, Constraints, Exigence
2. How can a reader use the rhetorical situation to analyze an argument essay?
How can a viewer use the rhetorical situation to analyze an image? How can
a writer use the rhetorical situation during the planning phase of writing apaper?
If an argument essay is a good one, you can use TRACE to analyze it to tell if it is a good argument. An image can be analyzed by TRACE by going through each of the steps to determine if it is a good visual argument. Using the TRACE system, you can better plan your writing.
3. Why is the audience important in argument? What types of positions might
an audience initially hold? What possible outcomes are associated with argu-
ments directed to each of these audiences?
Audience is needed or argument is invalid. Audience can take either side and the desired outcome is that they will take your side in the argument at the end. There is also the possibility of a common ground where each side of the argument settles.
4. What is a discourse community? To what discourse communities do you
belong? How does a discourse community help establish common ground for
Groups that people are affiliated. Gaming community and IT community. People are more likely to side...

...The US-IraqWar, a military action led by the United States against the regime of Saddam Hussein, the authoritarian leader of Iraq. US president George W. Bush, who announced the beginning of the war in March 2003, explained that the goals were to disarm Iraq and to free its people. For months, President Bush had threatened war, arguing that Saddam Hussein's regime posed a grave threat to US security and peace in the region because of its alleged pursuit of weapons of mass destruction.
The conflict began when US, British and small numbers of Australian and Polish soldiers invaded Iraq. The major fighting ended about three weeks later after US troops entered Baghdad and toppled the Hussein regime. The military campaign was short and one-sided, but hard fought.
The US forces, however, were plagued by a morass of supply shortages, radios that could not reach far-flung troops and virtually no reliable intelligence on how Saddam Hussein would defend Baghdad. Many army units ran low on fuel and water as fast-moving armoured forces raced towards Baghdad and outran their supply lines. As a result, more US forces were deployed for a longer period than the US government anticipated, and the casualty toll rose.
The total US death toll was...
