Academic Discourse Vs. Popular Discourse
... magazines use eye-catching appeals to grab the reader's attention instead of logical information. I compared the two discourse communities and analyzed the different languages and word presentation used throughout the material that I read. All in all I compared the informative information that each had to offer a reader and as to what appeal if any was used to draw a reader in.
When first picking up the material, I noticed that even the covers of the books differed in extreme ways. For an academic discourse community I used a journal entitled American Psychologist and noted right away the cover, a very dull, navy-blue cover with semi-bold gothic type pri ...

The Queer Use Of Women In Borg
... purpose of providing men with an opportunity for sex and where such sexual activities, by means of a female body. Sex and women are used primarily as bargaining chips in the relationship between men, never for the traditional purposes of either procreation or pleasure. Sex in Borges' fiction, by means of an objectified female body,[4] is nothing more than a maneuver that gives definition and dynamism to the interaction between men.
In opposition to the traditional critical standpoint that male-male interaction in Borgesian fiction is merely homosocial and, therefore, purely nonsexual, a closer inspection of Borges' work reveals the clear but playfully veiled presen ...

children skis strapped together, with some doweling on the top for foot
attraction. His daughter took it to the local sledding hill, and soon
enough all the kids wanted one.

contraptions for 15 dollars a piece. with new improvements such as a string
at the tip for balance and a more stable base, it was dubbed the "Snurfer",
a mix with snow and surfer, because of its no-binding surf style of riding.
Another pioneer was Dimitrije Milovich, a surfer from the east coast. He

The Social Construction Of Rea
... this zone are immediate concerns that guide our daily routines. Reality is an inter-subjective experience. Each individual exits in his/her own private reality, yet co-exists in a normal shared common sense reality with society. To momentarily escape the presence of reality in order to assume a different perspective requires a concentrated and deliberate effort. When foreign tasks are introduced into our daily routines, the reality of everyday life integrates the foreign information into what is more natural and understood. Other subconscious realities find themselves engulfed within the reality of everyday life as a result of its overpowering nature. W ...

Death And Bereavement
... wills, and disposal of the dead. 5) Financial and legal aspects of death and dying. My first close encounter with death was when I was seven years old. I traveled with my mother to visit with my maternal grandfather. He was my only living grandparent and it was the first time I had met him. I can remember that he looked old and pale and had a shock of white hair. While he knew who I was, he was somewhat confused as he kept referring to me by my mother's name. Although, he did not appear to be in pain, he had recently suffered a massive heart attack and was not expected to last much longer. My mother's childhood home was filled with relatives and family frien ...

Radioactive Wastes
... Since the mid 1900's radioactive wastes have been stored in different
manners, but since several years new ways of disposing and storing these
wastes have been developed so they may no longer be harmful. A very
advantageous way of storing radioactive wastes is by a process called
'vitrification'.

operations to be carried out with the same equipment: evaporation of the

... that randomness and chaos are responsible for the
organic world as we know it. Guiseppe Montalenti, an Italian geneticist and
philosopher of biology, wrote that Darwin's ideas were a rebellion against
thought in the Aristotelian-scholastic way (Ayala, 4). In order to
understand how Darwinism can be considered a revolt against Aristotle, we must
first inspect Aristotle's ideas and thoughts about biology.
Aristotle used teleology to explain the harmony and final results of the
earth. Teleology is the study of the purpose of nature. Aristotle believed
