The following text also appears in Prospects: the quarterly review of comparative education (Paris, UNESCO: International Bureau of Education), vol. XXX, no. 3, September 2000. ©UNESCO: International Bureau of Education, 2000 This document may be reproduced free of charge as long as acknowledgement is made of the source. BENJAMIN BLOOM 1913–99 Elliot W. Eisner1 About five feet five inches (1.65 m) in height, Ben Bloom was not a very large man, but his physical stature in no way reflected his presence in a room or the stature he achieved in the field of education. It was, I confess, a kind of anomaly to see someone who had few physically imposing qualities carry so much weight in a conversation and with so much of an aura. Benjamin S. Bloom was born on 21 February 1913 in Lansford, Pennsylvania, and died on 13 September 1999. He received a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Pennsylvania State University in 1935 and a Ph.D. in Education from the University of Chicago in March 1942. He became a staff member of the Board of Examinations at the University of Chicago in 1940 and served in that capacity until 1943, at which time he became university examiner, a position he held until 1959. His initial appointment as an instructor in the Department of Education at the University of Chicago began in 1944 and he was eventually appointed Charles H. Swift Distinguished Service Professor in 1970. He served as educational adviser to the governments of Israel, India and numerous other nations. These are some of the facts pertaining to his life and career. To know the man and his work, however, we must delve into what he stood for and what he accomplished as a teacher, a scholar and a researcher in the field of education. That is the story I would like to tell. Bloom as a teacher I had my first contact with Ben Bloom as a student in the Department of Education at the University of Chicago. He was one of my teachers. The course, and I remember it quite well, was entitled ‘Education as a Field of Study’. Our aim in that course was to try to understand the kinds of questions that might be asked about the field of education and to explore the various ways in which those questions might be answered. It was a mixture of the conceptual analysis of a complex concept and an introduction to the forms of inquiry that would result in a research project. One aspect of the course focused on the use of statistics and the calculation of probability. The approach that Bloom took was to help us understand probability experientially. Unlike most instructors, who would be inclined to provide a theoretical explanation of the meaning of probability, Bloom had each of us toss coins and record the number of heads and tails produced in a number of trials. He then had the class combine their respective ‘scores’, which of course yielded a relatively smooth bell-shaped curve describing the distribution of occasions on which heads or tails appeared. His willingness to devote the time in a graduate class to the actual production of an event in order to increase the meaningfulness of the idea of probability was emblematic of what always seemed to me to be a kind of hard-nosed progressivism that characterized his orientation to education and especially to the assessment of the educational consequences he thought important.

Order description: It is ARGUMENT ESSAY. Just following the document, I attach. You can pick one topic in SOME POSSIBLE TOPICS in the document, and let me know what topic you select to argue before you start. Thanks
ARGUMENT ESSAY (POSITION PAPER)
Assignment: Write an essay of at least four and one half pages (double-spaced and typed) in which you examine a controversial issue, take a position on that issue, and develop a reasoned argument in support of your position. You will need to define your issue, before taking a definite stand on it in the form of a thesis statement. You will also need to take into account the most likely objections to your argument, while trying to convince readers to share your position. The most persuasive position essays usually have a firm, but diplomatic, tone and contain ample reasons and evidence for the particular position taken. They also include refutations of the most likely objections to their assertions.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basic features of a position paper: 1) a well defined issue 2) a thesis statement 3) reasons and evidence 4) counterarguments 5) appropriate tone 6) clear organization
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Research: For this paper you must use at least three outside sources to create a Works Cited page. You must also cite specific information from each of the three sources. Part of your grade will depend on how well you follow MLA format for the citations and the Works Cited page. The Works Cited page is in addition to the 4 ½ page paper requirement.
Note: Since this paper is the final one and requires research, take special care in choosing a topic. The topic should appeal to you personally since you will be spending a lot of time on it. The topic should also be significant and controversial enough that you will be able to find evidence on both sides of the issue. Avoid questions of faith since the evidence you present must be verifiable fact, and faith by definition is a belief in something for which there is no proof. This restriction does not mean you cannot address an issue that clearly involves religious beliefs such as stem cell research, but you must be prepared to present both sides of the controversy by citing reputable sources from both sides. Please note: Wikipedia is not a reputable source for either side.
SOME POSSIBLE TOPICS: bilingual education, women in combat, drug testing in jobs and sports, same sex marriage, euthanasia, affirmative action in college admissions, capital punishment, gun control, national healthcare, immigration enforcement, stem cell research, (basically anything but abortion).You are welcome to choose a topic not mentioned here, but please get my feedback on your choice before you begin writing.

Bronson says, “We are all writing the story of our own life. It’s not a story of conquest. It’s a story of discovery. Through trial and error, we learn what gifts we have to offer the world and are pushed to greater recognition about what we really need.” Describe some of the “gifts you have to offer the world” and some of the
“Things you really need.”
At this stage, you have outlined your thoughts about the gifts that you offer the world and the things that you really need to live your life. You have an idea map to guide your thinking and some peer reviews. We discussed writing-oriented subjects like:
•organizing our ideas
•structuring paragraphs
•developing our written thoughts through details and specifics, and—very important—
•imagining our readers and what main point we want them to take away from our essay.

Your Personal Philosophy of Nursing Statement You will be studying beliefs and values. You will explore elements of selected nursing philosophies, nursing conceptual models, and theories of nursing. You will consider some of the most noted theoretical works in how they guide nursing practice. A metaparadigm is a concept that is extremely general, one that serves to define an entire world of thought. You will be introduced to the basic four concepts of the metaparadigm for nursing which serve to underpin the entire conceptual universe of the nursing profession. Those concepts in the metaparadigm are: person, health, environment, and nursing. Philosophy is defined as the study of the principles underlying conduct, thought, and the nature of the universe. Everyone has a personal philosophy of life, whether they have ever subjected their own beliefs to rational thought. Nurses' personal philosophies directly impact their practice. Philosophies of nursing are statements of belief about nursing and expressions of values in nursing that are used as bases for thinking and acting. Nurses are influenced daily by their beliefs, formal or informal, regarding nursing This assignment is due end of Week 04. This is the alert so that you can have the focus as you study these weeks with intent. The assignment has YOU illustrate your own nursing philosophy. While you are encouraged to free-write on this assignment, the example in Box 12-8 of the text (pg. 263) is a great start. In addition, the guide in Box 12-8 may pique your writing. The following guidelines are provided as the minimal requirements for this assignment: 1. LENGTH: 1 page minimum, 2 pages maximum – excluding title page and references 2. APA format ? yes 3. REFERENCES: Three; at least two from current nursing journals (< 5 years) in addition to the course textbook. Then, the paper content should follow this general format: 1.

Politics and the English Language
Most people who bother with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it. Our civilization is decadent and our language — so the argument runs — must inevitably share in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle against the abuse of language is a sentimental archaism, like preferring candles to electric light or hansom cabs to aeroplanes. Underneath this lies the half-conscious belief that language is a natural growth and not an instrument which we shape for our own purposes.
Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economic causes: it is not due simply to the bad influence of this or that individual writer. But an effect can become a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that the process is reversible. Modern English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. If one gets rid of these habits one can think more clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary first step toward political regeneration: so that the fight against bad English is not frivolous and is not the exclusive concern of professional writers. I will come back to this presently, and I hope that by that time the meaning of what I have said here will have become clearer. Meanwhile, here are five specimens of the English language as it is now habitually written.
These five passages have not been picked out because they are especially bad — I could have quoted far worse if I had chosen — but because they illustrate various of the mental vices from which we now suffer. They are a little below the average, but are fairly representative examples. I number them so that I can refer back to them when necessary:
1. I am not, indeed, sure whether it is not true to say that the Milton who once seemed not unlike a seventeenth-century Shelley had not become, out of an experience ever more bitter in each year, more alien [sic] to the founder of that Jesuit sect which nothing could induce him to tolerate.
Professor Harold Laski (Essay in Freedom of Expression)
2. Above all, we cannot play ducks and drakes with a native battery of idioms which prescribes egregious collocations of vocables as the Basic put up with for tolerate, or put at a loss for bewilder.
Professor Lancelot Hogben (Interglossia)
3. On the one side we have the free personality: by definition it is not neurotic, for it has neither conflict nor dream. Its desires, such as they are, are transparent, for they are just what institutional approval keeps in the forefront of consciousness; another institutional pattern would alter their number and intensity; there is little in them that is natural, irreducible, or culturally dangerous. But on the other side, the social bond itself is nothing but the mutual reflection of these self-secure integrities. Recall the definition of love. Is not this the very picture of a small academic? Where is there a place in this hall of mirrors for either personality or fraternity?
Essay on psychology in Politics (New York)
4. All the ‘best people’ from the gentlemen's clubs, and all the frantic fascist captains, united in common hatred of Socialism and bestial horror at the rising tide of the mass revolutionary movement, have turned to acts of provocation, to foul incendiarism, to medieval legends of poisoned wells, to legalize their own destruction of proletarian organizations, and rouse the agitated petty-bourgeoise to chauvinistic fervor on behalf of the fight against the revolutionary way out of the crisis.
Communist pamphlet
5. If a new spirit is to be infused into this old country, there is one thorny and contentious reform which must be tackled, and that is the humanization and galvanization of the B.B.C. Timidity here will bespeak canker and atrophy of the soul. The heart of Britain may be sound and of strong beat, for instance, but the British lion's roar at present is like that of Bottom in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream — as gentle as any sucking dove. A virile new Britain cannot continue indefinitely to be traduced in the eyes or rather ears, of the world by the effete languors of Langham Place, brazenly masquerading as ‘standard English’. When the Voice of Britain is heard at nine o'clock, better far and infinitely less ludicrous to hear aitches honestly dropped than the present priggish, inflated, inhibited, school-ma'amish arch braying of blameless bashful mewing maidens!
Letter in Tribune
Each of these passages has faults of its own, but, quite apart from avoidable ugliness, two qualities are common to all of them. The first is staleness of imagery; the other is lack of precision. The writer either has a meaning and cannot express it, or he inadvertently says something else, or he is almost indifferent as to whether his words mean anything or not. This mixture of vagueness and sheer incompetence is the most marked characteristic of modern English prose, and especially of any kind of political writing. As soon as certain topics are raised, the concrete melts into the abstract and no one seems able to think of turns of speech that are not hackneyed: prose consists less and less of words chosen for the sake of their meaning, and more and more of phrases tacked together like the sections of a prefabricated hen-house. I list below, with notes and examples, various of the tricks by means of which the work of prose-construction is habitually dodged.
DYING METAPHORS. A newly invented metaphor assists thought by evoking a visual image, while on the other hand a metaphor which is technically ‘dead’ (e. g. iron resolution) has in effect reverted to being an ordinary word and can generally be used without loss of vividness. But in between these two classes there is a huge dump of worn-out metaphors which have lost all evocative power and are merely used because they save people the trouble of inventing phrases for themselves. Examples are: Ring the changes on, take up the cudgel for, toe the line, ride roughshod over, stand shoulder to shoulder with, play into the hands of, no axe to grind, grist to the mill, fishing in troubled waters, on the order of the day, Achilles’ heel, swan song, hotbed. Many of these are used without knowledge of their meaning (what is a ‘rift’, for instance?), and incompatible metaphors are frequently mixed, a sure sign that the writer is not interested in what he is saying. Some metaphors now current have been twisted out of their original meaning without those who use them even being aware of the fact. For example, toe the line is sometimes written as tow the line. Another example is the hammer and the anvil, now always used with the implication that the anvil gets the worst of it. In real life it is always the anvil that breaks the hammer, never the other way about: a writer who stopped to think what he was saying would avoid perverting the original phrase.
OPERATORS OR VERBAL FALSE LIMBS. These save the trouble of picking out appropriate verbs and nouns, and at the same time pad each sentence with extra syllables which give it an appearance of symmetry. Characteristic phrases are render inoperative, militate against, make contact with, be subjected to, give rise to, give grounds for, have the effect of, play a leading part (role) in, make itself felt, take effect, exhibit a tendency to, serve the purpose of, etc., etc. The keynote is the elimination of simple verbs. Instead of being a single word, such as break, stop, spoil, mend, kill, a verb becomes a phrase, made up of a noun or adjective tacked on to some general-purpose verb such as prove, serve, form, play, render. In addition, the passive voice is wherever possible used in preference to the active, and noun constructions are used instead of gerunds (by examination of instead of by examining). The range of verbs is further cut down by means of the -ize and de- formations, and the banal statements are given an appearance of profundity by means of the not un- formation. Simple conjunctions and prepositions are replaced by such phrases as with respect to, having regard to, the fact that, by dint of, in view of, in the interests of, on the hypothesis that; and the ends of sentences are saved by anticlimax by such resounding commonplaces as greatly to be desired, cannot be left out of account, a development to be expected in the near future, deserving of serious consideration, brought to a satisfactory conclusion, and so on and so forth.
PRETENTIOUS DICTION. Words like phenomenon, element, individual (as noun), objective, categorical, effective, virtual, basic, primary, promote, constitute, exhibit, exploit, utilize, eliminate, liquidate, are used to dress up a simple statement and give an air of scientific impartiality to biased judgements. Adjectives like epoch-making, epic, historic, unforgettable, triumphant, age-old, inevitable, inexorable, veritable, are used to dignify the sordid process of international politics, while writing that aims at glorifying war usually takes on an archaic colour, its characteristic words being: realm, throne, chariot, mailed fist, trident, sword, shield, buckler, banner, jackboot, clarion. Foreign words and expressions such as cul de sac, ancien regime, deus ex machina, mutatis mutandis, status quo, gleichschaltung, weltanschauung, are used to give an air of culture and elegance. Except for the useful abbreviations i. e., e. g. and etc., there is no real need for any of the hundreds of foreign phrases now current in the English language. Bad writers, and especially scientific, political, and sociological writers, are nearly always haunted by the notion that Latin or Greek words are grander than Saxon ones, and unnecessary words like expedite, ameliorate, predict, extraneous, deracinated, clandestine, subaqueous, and hundreds of others constantly gain ground from their Anglo-Saxon numbers(1). The jargon peculiar to Marxist writing (hyena, hangman, cannibal, petty bourgeois, these gentry, lackey, flunkey, mad dog, White Guard, etc.) consists largely of words translated from Russian, German, or French; but the normal way of coining a new word is to use Latin or Greek root with the appropriate affix and, where necessary, the size formation. It is often easier to make up words of this kind (deregionalize, impermissible, extramarital, non-fragmentary and so forth) than to think up the English words that will cover one's meaning. The result, in general, is an increase in slovenliness and vagueness.
MEANINGLESS WORDS. In certain kinds of writing, particularly in art criticism and literary criticism, it is normal to come across long passages which are almost completely lacking in meaning(2). Words like romantic, plastic, values, human, dead, sentimental, natural, vitality, as used in art criticism, are strictly meaningless, in the sense that they not only do not point to any discoverable object, but are hardly ever expected to do so by the reader. When one critic writes, ‘The outstanding feature of Mr. X's work is its living quality’, while another writes, ‘The immediately striking thing about Mr. X's work is its peculiar deadness’, the reader accepts this as a simple difference opinion. If words like black and white were involved, instead of the jargon words dead and living, he would see at once that language was being used in an improper way. Many political words are similarly abused. The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies ‘something not desirable’. The words democracy, socialism, freedom, patriotic, realistic, justice have each of them several different meanings which cannot be reconciled with one another. In the case of a word like democracy, not only is there no agreed definition, but the attempt to make one is resisted from all sides. It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it: consequently the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using that word if it were tied down to any one meaning. Words of this kind are often used in a consciously dishonest way. That is, the person who uses them has his own private definition, but allows his hearer to think he means something quite different. Statements like Marshal Petain was a true patriot, The Soviet press is the freest in the world, The Catholic Church is opposed to persecution, are almost always made with intent to deceive. Other words used in variable meanings, in most cases more or less dishonestly, are: class, totalitarian, science, progressive, reactionary, bourgeois, equality.
Now that I have made this catalogue of swindles and perversions, let me give another example of the kind of writing that they lead to. This time it must of its nature be an imaginary one. I am going to translate a passage of good English into modern English of the worst sort. Here is a well-known verse from Ecclesiastes:
I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Here it is in modern English:
Objective considerations of contemporary phenomena compel the conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with innate capacity, but that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably be taken into account.
This is a parody, but not a very gross one. Exhibit (3) above, for instance, contains several patches of the same kind of English. It will be seen that I have not made a full translation. The beginning and ending of the sentence follow the original meaning fairly closely, but in the middle the concrete illustrations — race, battle, bread — dissolve into the vague phrases ‘success or failure in competitive activities’. This had to be so, because no modern writer of the kind I am discussing — no one capable of using phrases like ‘objective considerations of contemporary phenomena’ — would ever tabulate his thoughts in that precise and detailed way. The whole tendency of modern prose is away from concreteness. Now analyze these two sentences a little more closely. The first contains forty-nine words but only sixty syllables, and all its words are those of everyday life. The second contains thirty-eight words of ninety syllables: eighteen of those words are from Latin roots, and one from Greek. The first sentence contains six vivid images, and only one phrase (‘time and chance’) that could be called vague. The second contains not a single fresh, arresting phrase, and in spite of its ninety syllables it gives only a shortened version of the meaning contained in the first. Yet without a doubt it is the second kind of sentence that is gaining ground in modern English. I do not want to exaggerate. This kind of writing is not yet universal, and outcrops of simplicity will occur here and there in the worst-written page. Still, if you or I were told to write a few lines on the uncertainty of human fortunes, we should probably come much nearer to my imaginary sentence than to the one from Ecclesiastes.
As I have tried to show, modern writing at its worst does not consist in picking out words for the sake of their meaning and inventing images in order to make the meaning clearer. It consists in gumming together long strips of words which have already been set in order by someone else, and making the results presentable by sheer humbug. The attraction of this way of writing is that it is easy. It is easier — even quicker, once you have the habit — to say In my opinion it is not an unjustifiable assumption that than to say I think. If you use ready-made phrases, you not only don't have to hunt about for the words; you also don't have to bother with the rhythms of your sentences since these phrases are generally so arranged as to be more or less euphonious. When you are composing in a hurry — when you are dictating to a stenographer, for instance, or making a public speech — it is natural to fall into a pretentious, Latinized style. Tags like a consideration which we should do well to bear in mind or a conclusion to which all of us would readily assent will save many a sentence from coming down with a bump. By using stale metaphors, similes, and idioms, you save much mental effort, at the cost of leaving your meaning vague, not only for your reader but for yourself. This is the significance of mixed metaphors. The sole aim of a metaphor is to call up a visual image. When these images clash — as in The Fascist octopus has sung its swan song, the jackboot is thrown into the melting pot — it can be taken as certain that the writer is not seeing a mental image of the objects he is naming; in other words he is not really thinking. Look again at the examples I gave at the beginning of this essay. Professor Laski (1) uses five negatives in fifty three words. One of these is superfluous, making nonsense of the whole passage, and in addition there is the slip — alien for akin — making further nonsense, and several avoidable pieces of clumsiness which increase the general vagueness. Professor Hogben (2) plays ducks and drakes with a battery which is able to write prescriptions, and, while disapproving of the everyday phrase put up with, is unwilling to look egregious up in the dictionary and see what it means; (3), if one takes an uncharitable attitude towards it, is simply meaningless: probably one could work out its intended meaning by reading the whole of the article in which it occurs. In (4), the writer knows more or less what he wants to say, but an accumulation of stale phrases chokes him like tea leaves blocking a sink. In (5), words and meaning have almost parted company. People who write in this manner usually have a general emotional meaning — they dislike one thing and want to express solidarity with another — but they are not interested in the detail of what they are saying. A scrupulous writer, in every sentence that he writes, will ask himself at least four questions, thus: What am I trying to say? What words will express it? What image or idiom will make it clearer? Is this image fresh enough to have an effect? And he will probably ask himself two more: Could I put it more shortly? Have I said anything that is avoidably ugly? But you are not obliged to go to all this trouble. You can shirk it by simply throwing your mind open and letting the ready-made phrases come crowding in. The will construct your sentences for you — even think your thoughts for you, to a certain extent — and at need they will perform the important service of partially concealing your meaning even from yourself. It is at this point that the special connection between politics and the debasement of language becomes clear.
In our time it is broadly true that political writing is bad writing. Where it is not true, it will generally be found that the writer is some kind of rebel, expressing his private opinions and not a ‘party line’. Orthodoxy, of whatever colour, seems to demand a lifeless, imitative style. The political dialects to be found in pamphlets, leading articles, manifestos, White papers and the speeches of undersecretaries do, of course, vary from party to party, but they are all alike in that one almost never finds in them a fresh, vivid, homemade turn of speech. When one watches some tired hack on the platform mechanically repeating the familiar phrases — bestial, atrocities, iron heel, bloodstained tyranny, free peoples of the world, stand shoulder to shoulder — one often has a curious feeling that one is not watching a live human being but some kind of dummy: a feeling which suddenly becomes stronger at moments when the light catches the speaker's spectacles and turns them into blank discs which seem to have no eyes behind them. And this is not altogether fanciful. A speaker who uses that kind of phraseology has gone some distance toward turning himself into a machine. The appropriate noises are coming out of his larynx, but his brain is not involved, as it would be if he were choosing his words for himself. If the speech he is making is one that he is accustomed to make over and over again, he may be almost unconscious of what he is saying, as one is when one utters the responses in church. And this reduced state of consciousness, if not indispensable, is at any rate favourable to political conformity.
In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defence of the indefensible. Things like the continuance of British rule in India, the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of the political parties. Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness. Defenceless villages are bombarded from the air, the inhabitants driven out into the countryside, the cattle machine-gunned, the huts set on fire with incendiary bullets: this is called pacification. Millions of peasants are robbed of their farms and sent trudging along the roads with no more than they can carry: this is called transfer of population or rectification of frontiers. People are imprisoned for years without trial, or shot in the back of the neck or sent to die of scurvy in Arctic lumber camps: this is called elimination of unreliable elements. Such phraseology is needed if one wants to name things without calling up mental pictures of them. Consider for instance some comfortable English professor defending Russian totalitarianism. He cannot say outright, ‘I believe in killing off your opponents when you can get good results by doing so’. Probably, therefore, he will say something like this:
‘While freely conceding that the Soviet regime exhibits certain features which the humanitarian may be inclined to deplore, we must, I think, agree that a certain curtailment of the right to political opposition is an unavoidable concomitant of transitional periods, and that the rigors which the Russian people have been called upon to undergo have been amply justified in the sphere of concrete achievement.’
The inflated style itself is a kind of euphemism. A mass of Latin words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outline and covering up all the details. The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink. In our age there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics’. All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred, and schizophrenia. When the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer. I should expect to find — this is a guess which I have not sufficient knowledge to verify — that the German, Russian and Italian languages have all deteriorated in the last ten or fifteen years, as a result of dictatorship.
But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought. A bad usage can spread by tradition and imitation even among people who should and do know better. The debased language that I have been discussing is in some ways very convenient. Phrases like a not unjustifiable assumption, leaves much to be desired, would serve no good purpose, a consideration which we should do well to bear in mind, are a continuous temptation, a packet of aspirins always at one's elbow. Look back through this essay, and for certain you will find that I have again and again committed the very faults I am protesting against. By this morning's post I have received a pamphlet dealing with conditions in Germany. The author tells me that he ‘felt impelled’ to write it. I open it at random, and here is almost the first sentence I see: ‘[The Allies] have an opportunity not only of achieving a radical transformation of Germany's social and political structure in such a way as to avoid a nationalistic reaction in Germany itself, but at the same time of laying the foundations of a co-operative and unified Europe.’ You see, he ‘feels impelled’ to write — feels, presumably, that he has something new to say — and yet his words, like cavalry horses answering the bugle, group themselves automatically into the familiar dreary pattern. This invasion of one's mind by ready-made phrases (lay the foundations, achieve a radical transformation) can only be prevented if one is constantly on guard against them, and every such phrase anaesthetizes a portion of one's brain.
I said earlier that the decadence of our language is probably curable. Those who deny this would argue, if they produced an argument at all, that language merely reflects existing social conditions, and that we cannot influence its development by any direct tinkering with words and constructions. So far as the general tone or spirit of a language goes, this may be true, but it is not true in detail. Silly words and expressions have often disappeared, not through any evolutionary process but owing to the conscious action of a minority. Two recent examples were explore every avenue and leave no stone unturned, which were killed by the jeers of a few journalists. There is a long list of flyblown metaphors which could similarly be got rid of if enough people would interest themselves in the job; and it should also be possible to laugh the not un- formation out of existence(3), to reduce the amount of Latin and Greek in the average sentence, to drive out foreign phrases and strayed scientific words, and, in general, to make pretentiousness unfashionable. But all these are minor points. The defence of the English language implies more than this, and perhaps it is best to start by saying what it does not imply.
To begin with it has nothing to do with archaism, with the salvaging of obsolete words and turns of speech, or with the setting up of a ‘standard English’ which must never be departed from. On the contrary, it is especially concerned with the scrapping of every word or idiom which has outworn its usefulness. It has nothing to do with correct grammar and syntax, which are of no importance so long as one makes one's meaning clear, or with the avoidance of Americanisms, or with having what is called a ‘good prose style’. On the other hand, it is not concerned with fake simplicity and the attempt to make written English colloquial. Nor does it even imply in every case preferring the Saxon word to the Latin one, though it does imply using the fewest and shortest words that will cover one's meaning. What is above all needed is to let the meaning choose the word, and not the other way around. In prose, the worst thing one can do with words is surrender to them. When you think of a concrete object, you think wordlessly, and then, if you want to describe the thing you have been visualising you probably hunt about until you find the exact words that seem to fit it. When you think of something abstract you are more inclined to use words from the start, and unless you make a conscious effort to prevent it, the existing dialect will come rushing in and do the job for you, at the expense of blurring or even changing your meaning. Probably it is better to put off using words as long as possible and get one's meaning as clear as one can through pictures and sensations. Afterward one can choose — not simply accept — the phrases that will best cover the meaning, and then switch round and decide what impressions one's words are likely to make on another person. This last effort of the mind cuts out all stale or mixed images, all prefabricated phrases, needless repetitions, and humbug and vagueness generally. But one can often be in doubt about the effect of a word or a phrase, and one needs rules that one can rely on when instinct fails. I think the following rules will cover most cases:
- Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
- Never use a long word where a short one will do.
- If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
- Never use the passive where you can use the active.
- Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
- Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
These rules sound elementary, and so they are, but they demand a deep change of attitude in anyone who has grown used to writing in the style now fashionable. One could keep all of them and still write bad English, but one could not write the kind of stuff that I quoted in those five specimens at the beginning of this article.
I have not here been considering the literary use of language, but merely language as an instrument for expressing and not for concealing or preventing thought. Stuart Chase and others have come near to claiming that all abstract words are meaningless, and have used this as a pretext for advocating a kind of political quietism. Since you don't know what Fascism is, how can you struggle against Fascism? One need not swallow such absurdities as this, but one ought to recognise that the present political chaos is connected with the decay of language, and that one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end. If you simplify your English, you are freed from the worst follies of orthodoxy. You cannot speak any of the necessary dialects, and when you make a stupid remark its stupidity will be obvious, even to yourself. Political language — and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists — is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. One cannot change this all in a moment, but one can at least change one's own habits, and from time to time one can even, if one jeers loudly enough, send some worn-out and useless phrase — some jackboot, Achilles’ heel, hotbed, melting pot, acid test, veritable inferno, or other lump of verbal refuse — into the dustbin where it belongs.

1) An interesting illustration of this is the way in which the English flower names which were in use till very recently are being ousted by Greek ones, snapdragon becoming antirrhinum, forget-me-not becoming myosotis, etc. It is hard to see any practical reason for this change of fashion: it is probably due to an instinctive turning-awayfrom the more homely word and a vague feeling that the Greek word is scientific. [back]
2) Example: ‘Comfort's catholicity of perception and image, strangely Whitmanesque in range, almost the exact opposite in aesthetic compulsion, continues to evoke that trembling atmospheric accumulative hinting at a cruel, an inexorably serene timelessness... Wrey Gardiner scores by aiming at simple bull's-eyes with precision. Only they are not so simple, and through this contented sadness runs more than the surface bitter-sweet of resignation’.

Web Services E Commerce
Risk has always been a part of business, an enduring reality that every company must address. To compete, grow and capture benefit, organizations must accept risk. It’s what businesses do. Risk also has many more faces: cash flow crises, supply disruptions, quality failures, cyber intrusions, and financial fraud and technology breakdowns.We will discuss all the risk assessment in this paper.
Security is fundamentally about protecting assets. Assets may be tangible items, such as operations or your customer database, or they may be less tangible, such as your company’s reputation. It is important to recognize that security is a path, not a destination. As you analyze your infrastructure and applications, you identify potential threats and understand that each threat presents a degree of risk. Security is about risk management and implementing effective countermeasures. One of the most important concepts in security is that effective security is a combination of people, process, and technology. The following paragraph will discuss way to implement security and risk assessment of the E-commerce system.
We will apply the three tier architecture on the E-commerce system. E-commerce architecture must be separated physically and logically into three separate components: the Web server; the Application server; and the Database server (E-commerce systems). The data should be stored behind a firewall and accessed through an application proxy. Single tier E-commerce architecture exposes the web server a single point of attack.
The web server must be placed behind a firewall, and the firewall must be configured to allow connections to the web server only on ports and services required for business reasons. The Web server should reside on its own segment, separate and distinct from other servers.Not having the web site behind a firewall exposes the web site to direct attacks.
The server access must ensure no update or write access is allowed to the web server file system. Update or write access could be misused to hack the web site. The compromised web server could then be used to launch attacks on the other E-commerce systems.
Authentication addresses the question of who youare? It is the process of uniquely identifying the clients of your software enterprise and services. These might be end users, other services, processes, or computers. In security world, authenticated clients are referred to as principals. Strong authentication mechanisms such as digital certificates and hard tokens should be used for proprietary or highly restricted systems. Insecure access to a customer account could result in misuse of customer specific information.
Effective auditing and logging is the key to non-repudiation. Non-repudiation guarantees that a user cannot deny performing an operation or initiating a transaction. For example, in an e-commerce system, non-repudiation mechanisms are required to make sure that a consumer cannot deny ordering 50 copies of a particular book.
Confidentiality, also referred to as privacy, is the process of making sure that data remains private and confidential, and that it cannot be viewed by unauthorized users or eavesdroppers who monitor the flow of traffic across a network. Encryption is frequently used to enforce confidentiality. Access control lists (ACLs) are another means of enforcing confidentiality.
Integrity is the guarantee that data is protected from accidental or deliberate (malicious) modification. Like privacy, integrity is a key concern, particularly for data passed across networks. Integrity for data in transit is typically provided by using hashing techniques and message authentication codes.
From a security perspective, availability means that systems remain available for legitimate users. The goal for many attackers with denial of service (DoS) attacks is to crash an application or to make sure that the application is sufficiently overwhelmed so that other users cannot access it.
Stored transaction data encryption to ensure that transaction data is encrypted as it is stored. If transaction data, which is comprised of customer specific confidential information, is not stored securely, an unauthorized user could access this information in a readable format.
All transactions must initiate and complete on the application server, not the web server. Transactions contain critical data and if not secured could result in unauthorized access of that data. Because the web server sits in the de-militarized zone (DMZ) it is considered to be in an insecure.
Session keys must be unreadable, have unique values, and should provide for secure sessions to be logged out by the user or to time out automatically. If sessions are not terminated properly they may allow a user to connect to a session without getting authenticated again, which can be misused to gain access to a customer's account.
E-commerce systems should be backed up regularly, and restoration procedures should regularly be tested to validate the integrity of the backups. Failure to properly backup the E-commerce systems could result in the loss of configuration information as well as system files, security log files, and data.
All necessary recommended vendor software and security patches should be installed and properly configured for E-commerce systems. Failure to install the latest recommended security patches could result in the systems becoming vulnerable to new attack methods.
System and configuration files for all E-commerce systems should only be viewable by the Administrator. Failure to properly secure system and configuration files could result in modifications by unauthorized personnel that could result in the addition of significant security vulnerabilities.
To prevent software conflict, the web server should only be running web server software. No other software packages should be installed unless a sufficient business need exists. Rogue processes could compromise security not only of the web server, but also the internal hosts, through the introduction of back doors. Unnecessary processes could also strain the operating system resources thereby affecting web server performance.
The E-commerce systems should periodically be scanned with vulnerability scanners to determine if the system is vulnerable to new exploits. Without periodic vulnerability scanning, a new vulnerability or exploit may be introduced into the system without the system administrator’s knowledge.
The E-commerce infrastructure must include a real time intrusion detection system. This must also be supported with incidence response procedures to ensure incidences are responded to and escalated in an appropriate and timely manner. Lack of an Intrusion detection system and incidence response procedures may result in unauthorized activities being undetected. Undetected intrusions are likely to result in increased damages due to a longer period of unauthorized access.
An E-commerce web site must have a Seal of Trust or a Cyber Process Certification performed. This helps build web site credibility and customer trust, thus increasing the value of the site. The certification process is usually performed by a trusted third party. This will help mitigate customer’s fear of operating in an insecure environment.
Security settings, authentication, authorization, logging, and other parameters can usually be set in configuration files. Improper configuration can lead to security vulnerabilities, as can a lack of protection on the files themselves, which can lead to improper modification or theft of connection strings and other sensitive information.Threats and attacks include unauthorized access to configuration stores. An attacker gains access to configuration files and is able to modify binding settings, and retrieval of clear text configuration secrets. An attacker gains access to configuration files and is able to retrieve sensitive information such as database connection strings.Vulnerabilities include using insecure custom administration interfaces, failing to secure configuration files on the server, storing sensitive information in the clear text, having too many administrators, and using overprivileged process accounts and service accounts. Countermeasures include use access control lists (ACLs), encrypt sensitive sections of configuration files, and use secure settings for various operations of Web services using configuration files.
Impersonation and delegation are techniques used to flow the original caller to back-end resources. Impersonation is used to access resources on the same machine where the service code is running. Delegation is used to access network resources on other machines. Threats and attacks include an attacker is able to run in the context of a higher-privileged user. An attacker gains access to data that should only be available to another user. Vulnerabilities include Failure to revert to a lower privilege after using impersonation and the improper use of global impersonation across the entire service. Countermeasures include use a Using statement to automatically revert impersonation. Granularly impersonate only those operations that need it.
Message replay detection is a feature that allows your code to detect some instances in which an attacker is trying to replay messages in order to steal a session from one of your clients. Threats and attacks include an attacker steals messages off the network and replays them in order to steal a user's session. Vulnerabilities include failure to use a mechanism to detect message replays. Countermeasures include use any platform-provided replay detection features, and consider creating custom code if the platform does not provide a detection mechanism.
Message signing is used to protect the integrity of messages in transit over the network and to provide proof of the original sender. Signing does not protect the confidentiality of the data, but only its integrity and confidence in the original sender. Message signing can be provided by either message security or transport security. Message security signs each message individually, while transport security protects the entire communication channel (e.g., with SSL).Threats and attacks include an attacker modifies the data in a message in order to attack the client or the service. Vulnerabilities include not using either message or transport security. Countermeasures include turn on message or transport security.
Message validation is used to protect your service from malformed messages and message parameters. Message schemas can be used to validate incoming messages, while custom validators can be used to validate parameter data before your service consumes it. Threats and attacks include canonicalization attacks can occur anytime validation is performed on a different form of the input than that which is used for later processing. For instance, a validation check may be performed on an encoded string, which is later decoded and used as a file path or URL. Failure to validate input can result in SQL injection if the input is used to construct a SQL statement, or if it will modify the construction of a SQL statement in some way. XPath injection can result if the input sent to the Web service is used to influence or construct an XPath statement. The input can also introduce unintended results if the XPath statement is used by the Web service as part of some larger operation, such as applying an XQuery or an XSLT transformation to an XML document. XML bomb attacks occur when specific, small XML messages are parsed by a service resulting in data that feeds on itself and grows exponentially. An attacker sends an XML bomb with the intent of overwhelming a Web service's XML parser, thus resulting in a denial of service (DoS) attack. Vulnerabilities include using non-validated input used to generate SQL queries, relying only on client-side validation, using input file names, URLs, or usernames for security decisions, Using application-only filters for malicious input, looking for known bad patterns of input, trusting data read from databases, file shares, and other network resources, and failing to validate input from all sources including cookies, Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) headers, SOAP parameters, databases, and network resources. Countermeasures include do not trust client input, validate input: length, range, format, and type, validate XML streams, constrain, reject, sanitize input, encode output, and restrict the size, length, and depth of parsed XML messages.
Sensitive data refers to any confidential information that your service processes or transmits. Protection of sensitive data includes protecting the information over the network, in configuration files, in local memory or file storage, or in databases and log files. Sensitive information includes user identity and credentials as well as any personally identifiable information such as social security number. Threats and attacks include an attacker is able to read sensitive data out of memory or from local files, an attacker listens to and intercepts unencrypted sensitive data off the network, and an attacker steals sensitive information, such as connection strings, out of configuration files. Vulnerabilities include storing secrets when you do not need to, storing secrets in code, storing secrets in clear text in files, registry, or configuration, and passing sensitive data in clear text over networks. Countermeasures include do not store secrets in software, encrypt sensitive data over the network, secure the channel, and encrypt sensitive data in configuration files.
Designing a Web service with security in mind presents developers and architects with an interesting set of challenges. Some are unique to service-oriented architecture and some are similar to the challenges that face enterprise Web application development teams.
A Web service is most commonly implemented as a wrapper—that is, as an interface between a client consuming the service and back-end business logic components doing the actual work. A Web service acts as a trust boundary in your application architecture. By its nature, a Web service acts as a gateway between trusted business components and less trusted or untrusted client components. For this reason, it is impossible to think about the security of a Web service without also thinking about authentication, authorization, protection of sensitive data on the network, and handling potentially malicious input. Each of these areas represents key decisions you will need to make in order to maintain the security of your application.

Writing for Interpretive Displays
This assignment is designed to provide experience in writing material for an interpretive center, a visitor center, a nature trail, a zoo, a museum or any other site where written material is provided to explain to a visitor what is being seen. All interpretive material included in this assignment must be self-contained, concise, complete and factually correct. The visitor should be able to understand what is being viewed without any additional verbal or visual explanation.
The Three Tiered Interpretative Display
While there are many ways such material can be written, for this assignment the “three tier” approach will be used. The three tiered approach is designed to satisfy the needs of different types of visitors. Most of us have taken each of the three approaches at different times in our lives. Do you still remember when your parents took you to an art museum in which you had no interest?
The walk through visitor
The walk through visitor is one who is slowly (or quickly) walking through the exhibits to see if there is anything interesting on display. This visitor will read the main label on a display but will seldom read any of the detail. For example while visiting the zoo the visitor may pass the Polar bear exhibit. The visitor will note the label on the display stating Polar Bear but will rarely read any more detail, possibly because he/she already knows everything written in the display about Polar bears, or possibly because the visitor doesn't’t want to know any more about Polar bears. It is not a crime to not have an interest in some, or even all, of the displays in an interpretive center.
The first tier will be written in a font size that will allow a visitor, even a visitor with poor eyesight, to read the tier from a distance or while walking past the display. A specific color of letters may also be used to draw attention to the display.
The casually interested visitor
A second type of visitor has somewhat more interest in the display. When seeing the Polar Bear sign this visitor will pause, view the bears on display, and read the first one or two sentences of the display. The display will provide one or two salient facts about Polar bears. For example, the second tier might state;
“Polar bears live in the Arctic. Their diet consists largely of seals and other animals found on land and on the sea ice.”
Or, the second tier might state;
“Polar bears live in the Arctic both on land and on the Arctic sea ice. The Arctic sea ice is essential for the Polar bear’s survival.”
Second tier lettering will be written in a smaller point font than the first tier lettering. The casual visitor will need to at least pause a moment to read the second tier display. The second tier visitor will also normally show sufficient interest in the object being displayed to look over the Polar bears, or other object described by the sign.
The involved visitor
The involved visitor is very interested in the material of the display and wants to learn more about the objects or material being displayed. This visitor will read any and all information written about the display. Normally two to three paragraphs, and occasionally more, of information are provided. The information will provide additional detail about the subject displayed.
In the case of the Polar bear, for example, the third tier may discuss how the cubs are born in the middle of winter while the mother is hibernating and the cubs are two months old before they emerge from the hibernation den. The display may describe how the Polar bear is dependent on sea ice for hunting seals. If the Arctic sea ice disappears, the Polar bears may face starvation.
The third tier lettering will be written in a smaller point font then either the first or second tier. The font size, however, must be sufficiently large to allow the visitor to read the display comfortably from the distance the average visitor would be standing from the sign (see below)
In all three tiers it is imperative that the writing be factually correct, clear and concise. There is limited space available on any interpretive display. This space must be used carefully. Packing in too much material and crowding the space is just a bad as not explaining the subject fully.
Font size
For each tier of the assignment the author is to indicate the font size that should be used for that tier’s printing.
It is not possible to provide a hard and fast rule of the font size to be used for each tier. The font size will depend on the distance from the visitor to the display. In an open field setting next to a road the visitors may be setting in a car while reading the sign. The distance from the sign to the visitor may be in excess of 20 feet. In a museum setting the visitor may be standing directly in front of the sign at a distance of no more the two to three feet. If you select one of gem displays in the Houston Museum of Natural Science you will find that the viewer is very close to the exhibit because of the size of the gem and the lighting. In the same museum you will be much further away will looking at exhibit containing the leopard. On the other hand, the visitor to a museum may be standing in the back of a crowd of school children on a class trip to the museum. In either case the visitor should be able to read the first two tiers of writing from a few feet away. He/she may need to elbow some 4th graders out of the way to read the third tier.
While visiting your subject look at other displays in the same organization. Each of these organizations has some displays that are well done. What size font are being used in the other displays. How far away from the sign are the majority of the people standing to read the signs?
The only rule on font size is that the visitor should be able to read the third tier writing with ease while at a comfortable distance from the sign. The key for the writer is to correctly determine what that “comfortable distance” will be for the average visitor.
Research
You are expected to research your subjects in sufficient detail so as to write intelligent, concise material for your second and third tier interpretive display. All of the subjects have much more material available than you will be able to use. Your job will be to select the material that will be of most interest to your target audience. The target audience will vary with the venue of your exhibit. The Houston Zoo has a large percentage of children in its visitor mix. The Museum of Printing History rarely attracts children. Once you have the relevant material you must work to select what will be included and what will not be included. Writing concisely will be a critical issue in your grade for this assignment.
Scientific names
If you provide interpretive signs that identify plants or animals you must provide both the common name, followed by the scientific name of the plant or animal. Scientific names include the genus and the species in Latin. The scientific name is always written in italic lettering. The scientific name is always written in equal or smaller font size compared to the common name and is written after or below the common name.
When researching your subject, be sure you are researching the correct species. Common names are frequently used for different species in different localities. Compare the scientific name to be sure you are researching the correct species.
Illustrations and pictures
When helpful for communicating the desired message it is appropriate to use pictures and or illustrations. Be careful, however, when using illustrations. Use of pictures and illustrations can be redundant. When placing an interpretive sign in front of a display that holds only elephants it is usually not necessary to include a picture of an elephant. Most visitors will be able to pick out the elephant in the enclosure without a picture.
It is easy to make the display overly crowded. Appropriate use of white space is essential to provide an easily readable sign.
Audience
You must determine the audience for which you are writing these interpretive signs. Although there is some overlap, each of the institutions has a different clientele. Some displays within a specific institution have different target audiences than other displays. You will find that target audience will vary by age, education, language, culture, and specific interest. You must determine the target audience for your interpretive signs and write to that audience.
Language
You will find in Houston that many institutions provide interpretive signs in Spanish as well as English and some will also provide signs in Vietnamese. If you wish, and have the ability, you may provide multilingual signs. However, the English version will be the version that will be graded. If you do provide translations the translation must be grammatically correct, clear, concise and provide identical information as the English version. Incidentally, I do read several languages other than English.
The Assignment
The Interpretive Display assignment will be due December 10, the first day of finals at UHD. I will try to have the final grades available on Bb My Grades on December 12. I will leave the grades posted for a few days before submitting them. Please review your grades quickly; I will probably post the grades December 15. If you find any errors in the grades please let me know via Bb Messages.

SHORT PAPER # 3
Abstract: An interracial relationship is one that involves individuals of differing races. For many years, there were regulations that prohibited couples of such to have relations publicly. As we all know, any relationship is hard work, but couples in these circumstances deal with a significantly larger amount of stress and pressure than an endogamy couple. Developing a connection and understanding with your mate has a formula and interestingly, there is a model that helps interracial couples begin, maintain, and sustain a relationship. Racial Awareness, Coping, Identity Emergence, and Maintenance are the four stages in Foeman and Nance’s (2002) model of interracial relationship development that couples will embark on to help the understanding of how these relationships develop.
Choose one of the following to respond to in 4 full pages of writing on this document below (let this first page serve as your title page followed by four pages of writing). Provide book citations and feel free to personalize the assignment with your own examples and/or life experiences. Elaborate upon any areas you feel are lacking in the concepts/ideas OR on those you feel are particularly powerful. Explain the reasoning behind your thinking.
1.) Chapter 7 - Compare and contrast two of the three models of the contact hypothesis. Also, state the general assumptions of the contact hypothesis. (see page 143)
2.) Chapter 8 - List and describe each of the stages of the interracial relationship development model. Provide an example of what communication might “look like” at each of these stages. (see page 170)
3.) Chapter 11 - Provide a detailed exploration of “enlightened racism” and provide an example of it from contemporary media. (see page 238)

For those who commit major criminal offenses, prison seems to be the most humane solution for justice. With longer sentences and increasing mandatory minimums, the overcrowding of US prisons is on the rise. Furthermore, statistics show that the United States already has the world’s highest prison rates at 724 people per 100,000. In some states such as Texas, prisons faced an extreme shortage of nearly 17,000 beds for their inmates in 2007 alone. Lawmakers must now heed the outcry for change due to the culmination of prison overcrowding and the lack of larger institutions being built. This situation, one that continues to weigh heavily on our nation’s moral conscious as well as our individual taxes, must be rectified. Without progress that is swift and accommodating, the current trend will lead to further concerns. As long as the sentences for crimes remain unchanged and the lack of correctional facility construction remains
an issue, prison overpopulation will continue to rise to an all time high.
Without proper attention to this problem and its causation, a breaking
point what kind of breaking point? What exactly might happen if the
situation worsen? will soon be reached.
The rise in prison population is a consequence of the
government’s actions of prosecuting and convicting offenders brought to
justice. As a result, prisons are being supersaturated and often times are
unable to accommodate inmates. These issues are causing various effects
that will continue to occur if it is not dealt with. According to reports,
overcrowding also contributes to increased inmate misconduct, which
negatively affects the safety and security of all inmates and staff. Strengthen
your support and include a quote here (Caumont) This not only puts a
burden on the facilities to financially be able to handle its
responsibilities, but it is counterproductive when analyzing the purpose of
an offender serving time. The primary reasons offenders are sent to jail
are to first protect the rest of the contingency from potentially dangerous
individuals. Secondly, it allows the offender to use time served as a
method to instill a greater code of conduct in them-selves. As the numbers
of inmates increase, the violence rate within the jails increases with a
wave of prevalence of gangs causing more violence and disarray amongst the
prisoners. Contradicting Awkward phrase to idea that inmates will be in
jail serving their sentences repenting their actions, the prisoners are
introduced to more violence and disarray. Due to the overcrowding, some
individuals are fearful of jail sentences because they will be in close
proximity to the various violent gang members and other violent offenders. The
jails are being bombarded with more and more violence and crime within its
walls. The influx of prisoners results in an unbalancing equilibrium
between the supply and demand of prison places. Without properly addressing
this issue, the problem will continue to grow and a solution will never be
found.
This is informative, create a topic sentence that helps the
logical structure of the essay Lack of budgeting for the problem at
hand has prompted several states to explore early release options for
prisoners. A report in the New York Times suggests that the State
Legislature decide to change its approach to parole violations by providing
drug and alternative treatment for nonviolent offenders rather than
budgeting for constructing more jails around the nation. This approach
projects a sharp drop in the number of prisoners being admitted to these
jail institutions. Statistics show that investments in prison-based
interventions What are prisons based interventions have had a positive
impact on reductions in reconvictions. (Goode) This can impact the inmate’s
process to rehabilitate the back into society. Alongside these projected
changes, Congress needs to budget for delivering more efficiency in
operational management of our nation’s prisons. With the help of lawmakers,
institutions will be making budgets for the programs for all the inmates.
Funding for these programs and other jail services needs to be
departmentalized to help regulate the flow cash. Hopefully, this will
result in creating a cash flow that will begin at the top and have a
trickledown effect towards other forms of change.
Rehabilitation in the prison system may be the most crucial yet
overlooked aspect in the entire system. Rehabilitation should be the goal
in the jails rather than trying to incorporate rehab on inmates after they
are released. The way the systems works right now has many inmates
reverting back to old habits because they were not properly rehabbed while
being locked up. Half-way houses were developed for a way to help
transition pervious convicted inmates back into society; however, drug
trafficking and other illegal activities that are prevalent in these
designated houses only exacerbate the problem. (Carson) The immediate
surrounding community does not benefit from the half-way house if convicts
are not conditioned for rehabilitation while they were serving their
sentences in jail. Allowing convicted drug-uses to live in these houses
amongst the general public actually helps spread the drugs around the
community Restructure this sentence as "they Say". It becomes a place where
drugs of all kinds can be found, rather than drug-users of the past trying
to get back into normal life. Halfway houses would cease to exist if the
inmates were able to return back as an asset to society rather than another
ex-convict who happens to live in the area.
The government’s standard of moral and financial stability
comes to odds when the prison population problem shows no sign of
improvement. Politicians are known to debate the overpopulation crisis to
render a political advantage over their counterparts. However, it seems
these so called solutions are not being put into actions. Both parties
strategize to cut down their competition by showing that their opponents
are not as tough on crime as they are. The general public will absolutely
be against all forms of crime. But without proper education, the political
battlefield in our American two party systems will lead itself to only make
the problem worse. It would be beneficial to have a reasoned political
debate on the contributions of criminal punishment to actually reduce crime
rates. However, it seems hard to grasp in our political atmosphere where a
political gain is the main goal rather than addressing the overcrowding.
The true dilemma lies in the public’s opinion on crime and punishment. It
is important to inform and educate the media and the general public about
the realities of sentencing practice. Politicians feed on the public’s
desire to increase protection from criminals. In J.M. Hough’s book on
tackling prison overcrowding, he explains that the heart of the problem of
prison overcrowding is our political landscape How does HE describes this
landscape. He continues to proclaim the urgency in getting the government
officials to enact policies to truly reduce overcrowding of jails.
The constant growing prison population is due in part to
over-incarceration. American ideology is such that sending an individual to
jail coincides with the increases of public safety. This is not always the
case, though. Oftentimes, individuals who are sentenced to jail learn more
about how to successfully attempt crimes while they are behind bars due to
the inmates they encounter. For example, an alternative to imprisonment for
minor non violent crimes can be community service. This allows the
criminal to repay their debt to the society for committing the offense.
Alongside community service, other solutions should be brainstormed to help
the justice system run correctly and efficiently diminishing the
overcrowding crisis. [According to statistics recently released by the
U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics, American
taxpayers are spending more than a billion dollars per year to incarcerate
fellow citizens for marijuana use. Double check this source, are you
quoting? If so, it must be punctuated and cited properly ] This seems like
a very large amount of money being spent to accommodate drug users who
would not necessarily benefit from jail time. It is said that [more than
half of federal *prisoners* are incarcerated for *drug* crimes in 2010,
according to the Bureau of Justice *Statistics. Quote?Check this citation
to avoid plagiarism] (*Carson*) *Rather those individuals would greatly
benefit from a more progressive rehabilitation service. If policies are put
in place that will reduce imprisonment levels for minor non-violent crimes,
perhaps jail cells will be left for offenders who are a high threat to
society. This would leave behind the inmates who committed a severe crime
and are sentenced to jail according to how likely the individual could
return back to society. With this idea of other forms of punishment, the
overcrowding in jails can be an issue of the past. These would pave the
way for a better society as a whole. This ensures that individuals are
properly taken care of, without costing taxpayers a fortune by not
rehabilitating inmates back into society. Overcrowding in jails around the
nation has resulted in America having the highest number of inmates in the
world. This really shouldn’t be a statistic that is prized upon. Once the
problem is addressed and a solution is set action, only then can our
society develop and grow. We would be more efficient and be able to
encompass all the needs of the general public alongside all inmates. A
balance of creating what punishment or sentence would most greatly impact
the individual is what our jail system should try to achieve in doing that
fix our overcrowding dilemma.
This essay is much improved over the first rough draft. Your support can be
strengthened with some specific quotes (rather than mostly paraphase or
summary). Organization can be refined. look for topic sentence in each
paragraph that states crucial issue to be discussed and LINKS it back to
your overall argument. If you cant find one, add it in.
The essay needs to be at least 5 pages, not including the works cited page.
The essay needs another proof or two. Watch especially for word choices
errors and awkward phrasing. Fic formatting errors.
*First paragraph, some of these statements contradict. Need transitions.
*second #- Which reports? Cite the source that provide this information.
Second paragraph is very substantial evidence, but it NEEDS source citation.
*third paragraph- when mentioned the times provide parenthetical citation.
The end of the paragraph is a little confusing. Did not understand why
money was in parentheses.
*Paragraph 5 first sentece " Stability comes to odd when" (idiomatic Error)
This is a very interesting topic with a well started thesis. There are a
few language problems, but the draft is overall fair.
What is a concern is its lack of source citation. Where does the info comes
from? In addition to your works Cited, you must have parenthetical citation
in the body of the essay.
To strengthen the argumentative aspects of the essay, focus on the WHY
behind your claims. e.g Why is prison overcrowding such evil.? What Harm
might it do to prisoners and the society in general.

Writing for Interpretive Displays
This assignment is designed to provide experience in writing material for an interpretive center, a visitor center, a nature trail, a zoo, a museum or any other site where written material is provided to explain to a visitor what is being seen. All interpretive material included in this assignment must be self-contained, concise, complete and factually correct. The visitor should be able to understand what is being viewed without any additional verbal or visual explanation.
The Three Tiered Interpretative Display
While there are many ways such material can be written, for this assignment the “three tier” approach will be used. The three tiered approach is designed to satisfy the needs of different types of visitors. Most of us have taken each of the three approaches at different times in our lives. Do you still remember when your parents took you to an art museum in which you had no interest?
The walk through visitor
The walk through visitor is one who is slowly (or quickly) walking through the exhibits to see if there is anything interesting on display. This visitor will read the main label on a display but will seldom read any of the detail. For example while visiting the zoo the visitor may pass the Polar bear exhibit. The visitor will note the label on the display stating Polar Bear but will rarely read any more detail, possibly because he/she already knows everything written in the display about Polar bears, or possibly because the visitor doesn't’t want to know any more about Polar bears. It is not a crime to not have an interest in some, or even all, of the displays in an interpretive center.
The first tier will be written in a font size that will allow a visitor, even a visitor with poor eyesight, to read the tier from a distance or while walking past the display. A specific color of letters may also be used to draw attention to the display.
The casually interested visitor
A second type of visitor has somewhat more interest in the display. When seeing the Polar Bear sign this visitor will pause, view the bears on display, and read the first one or two sentences of the display. The display will provide one or two salient facts about Polar bears. For example, the second tier might state;
“Polar bears live in the Arctic. Their diet consists largely of seals and other animals found on land and on the sea ice.”
Or, the second tier might state;
“Polar bears live in the Arctic both on land and on the Arctic sea ice. The Arctic sea ice is essential for the Polar bear’s survival.”
Second tier lettering will be written in a smaller point font than the first tier lettering. The casual visitor will need to at least pause a moment to read the second tier display. The second tier visitor will also normally show sufficient interest in the object being displayed to look over the Polar bears, or other object described by the sign.
The involved visitor
The involved visitor is very interested in the material of the display and wants to learn more about the objects or material being displayed. This visitor will read any and all information written about the display. Normally two to three paragraphs, and occasionally more, of information are provided. The information will provide additional detail about the subject displayed.
In the case of the Polar bear, for example, the third tier may discuss how the cubs are born in the middle of winter while the mother is hibernating and the cubs are two months old before they emerge from the hibernation den. The display may describe how the Polar bear is dependent on sea ice for hunting seals. If the Arctic sea ice disappears, the Polar bears may face starvation.
The third tier lettering will be written in a smaller point font then either the first or second tier. The font size, however, must be sufficiently large to allow the visitor to read the display comfortably from the distance the average visitor would be standing from the sign (see below)
In all three tiers it is imperative that the writing be factually correct, clear and concise. There is limited space available on any interpretive display. This space must be used carefully. Packing in too much material and crowding the space is just a bad as not explaining the subject fully.
Font size
For each tier of the assignment the author is to indicate the font size that should be used for that tier’s printing.
It is not possible to provide a hard and fast rule of the font size to be used for each tier. The font size will depend on the distance from the visitor to the display. In an open field setting next to a road the visitors may be setting in a car while reading the sign. The distance from the sign to the visitor may be in excess of 20 feet. In a museum setting the visitor may be standing directly in front of the sign at a distance of no more the two to three feet. If you select one of gem displays in the Houston Museum of Natural Science you will find that the viewer is very close to the exhibit because of the size of the gem and the lighting. In the same museum you will be much further away will looking at exhibit containing the leopard. On the other hand, the visitor to a museum may be standing in the back of a crowd of school children on a class trip to the museum. In either case the visitor should be able to read the first two tiers of writing from a few feet away. He/she may need to elbow some 4th graders out of the way to read the third tier.
While visiting your subject look at other displays in the same organization. Each of these organizations has some displays that are well done. What size font are being used in the other displays. How far away from the sign are the majority of the people standing to read the signs?
The only rule on font size is that the visitor should be able to read the third tier writing with ease while at a comfortable distance from the sign. The key for the writer is to correctly determine what that “comfortable distance” will be for the average visitor.
Research
You are expected to research your subjects in sufficient detail so as to write intelligent, concise material for your second and third tier interpretive display. All of the subjects have much more material available than you will be able to use. Your job will be to select the material that will be of most interest to your target audience. The target audience will vary with the venue of your exhibit. The Houston Zoo has a large percentage of children in its visitor mix. The Museum of Printing History rarely attracts children. Once you have the relevant material you must work to select what will be included and what will not be included. Writing concisely will be a critical issue in your grade for this assignment.
Scientific names
If you provide interpretive signs that identify plants or animals you must provide both the common name, followed by the scientific name of the plant or animal. Scientific names include the genus and the species in Latin. The scientific name is always written in italic lettering. The scientific name is always written in equal or smaller font size compared to the common name and is written after or below the common name.
When researching your subject, be sure you are researching the correct species. Common names are frequently used for different species in different localities. Compare the scientific name to be sure you are researching the correct species.
Illustrations and pictures
When helpful for communicating the desired message it is appropriate to use pictures and or illustrations. Be careful, however, when using illustrations. Use of pictures and illustrations can be redundant. When placing an interpretive sign in front of a display that holds only elephants it is usually not necessary to include a picture of an elephant. Most visitors will be able to pick out the elephant in the enclosure without a picture.
It is easy to make the display overly crowded. Appropriate use of white space is essential to provide an easily readable sign.
Audience
You must determine the audience for which you are writing these interpretive signs. Although there is some overlap, each of the institutions has a different clientele. Some displays within a specific institution have different target audiences than other displays. You will find that target audience will vary by age, education, language, culture, and specific interest. You must determine the target audience for your interpretive signs and write to that audience.
Language
You will find in Houston that many institutions provide interpretive signs in Spanish as well as English and some will also provide signs in Vietnamese. If you wish, and have the ability, you may provide multilingual signs. However, the English version will be the version that will be graded. If you do provide translations the translation must be grammatically correct, clear, concise and provide identical information as the English version. Incidentally, I do read several languages other than English.
The Assignment
The Interpretive Display assignment will be due December 10, the first day of finals at UHD. I will try to have the final grades available on Bb My Grades on December 12. I will leave the grades posted for a few days before submitting them. Please review your grades quickly; I will probably post the grades December 15. If you find any errors in the grades please let me know via Bb Messages.

SHORT PAPER # 3
Abstract: An interracial relationship is one that involves individuals of differing races. For many years, there were regulations that prohibited couples of such to have relations publicly. As we all know, any relationship is hard work, but couples in these circumstances deal with a significantly larger amount of stress and pressure than an endogamy couple. Developing a connection and understanding with your mate has a formula and interestingly, there is a model that helps interracial couples begin, maintain, and sustain a relationship. Racial Awareness, Coping, Identity Emergence, and Maintenance are the four stages in Foeman and Nance’s (2002) model of interracial relationship development that couples will embark on to help the understanding of how these relationships develop.
Choose one of the following to respond to in 4 full pages of writing on this document below (let this first page serve as your title page followed by four pages of writing). Provide book citations and feel free to personalize the assignment with your own examples and/or life experiences. Elaborate upon any areas you feel are lacking in the concepts/ideas OR on those you feel are particularly powerful. Explain the reasoning behind your thinking.
1.) Chapter 7 - Compare and contrast two of the three models of the contact hypothesis. Also, state the general assumptions of the contact hypothesis. (see page 143)
2.) Chapter 8 - List and describe each of the stages of the interracial relationship development model. Provide an example of what communication might “look like” at each of these stages. (see page 170)
3.) Chapter 11 - Provide a detailed exploration of “enlightened racism” and provide an example of it from contemporary media. (see page 238)

For those who commit major criminal offenses, prison seems to be the most humane solution for justice. With longer sentences and increasing mandatory minimums, the overcrowding of US prisons is on the rise. Furthermore, statistics show that the United States already has the world’s highest prison rates at 724 people per 100,000. In some states such as Texas, prisons faced an extreme shortage of nearly 17,000 beds for their inmates in 2007 alone. Lawmakers must now heed the outcry for change due to the culmination of prison overcrowding and the lack of larger institutions being built. This situation, one that continues to weigh heavily on our nation’s moral conscious as well as our individual taxes, must be rectified. Without progress that is swift and accommodating, the current trend will lead to further concerns. As long as the sentences for crimes remain unchanged and the lack of correctional facility construction remains

unable to accommodate inmates. These issues are causing various effects
that will continue to occur if it is not dealt with. According to reports,
overcrowding also contributes to increased inmate misconduct, which
negatively affects the safety and security of all inmates and staff. Strengthen
your support and include a quote here (Caumont) This not only puts a
burden on the facilities to financially be able to handle its
responsibilities, but it is counterproductive when analyzing the purpose of
an offender serving time. The primary reasons offenders are sent to jail
are to first protect the rest of the contingency from potentially dangerous
individuals. Secondly, it allows the offender to use time served as a
method to instill a greater code of conduct in them-selves. As the numbers
of inmates increase, the violence rate within the jails increases with a
wave of prevalence of gangs causing more violence and disarray amongst the
prisoners. Contradicting Awkward phrase to idea that inmates will be in
jail serving their sentences repenting their actions, the prisoners are
introduced to more violence and disarray. Due to the overcrowding, some
individuals are fearful of jail sentences because they will be in close
proximity to the various violent gang members and other violent offenders. The
jails are being bombarded with more and more violence and crime within its
walls. The influx of prisoners results in an unbalancing equilibrium
between the supply and demand of prison places. Without properly addressing
this issue, the problem will continue to grow and a solution will never be
found.
This is informative, create a topic sentence that helps the
logical structure of the essay Lack of budgeting for the problem at
hand has prompted several states to explore early release options for
prisoners. A report in the New York Times suggests that the State
Legislature decide to change its approach to parole violations by providing
drug and alternative treatment for nonviolent offenders rather than
budgeting for constructing more jails around the nation. This approach
projects a sharp drop in the number of prisoners being admitted to these
jail institutions. Statistics show that investments in prison-based
interventions What are prisons based interventions have had a positive
impact on reductions in reconvictions. (Goode) This can impact the inmate’s
process to rehabilitate the back into society. Alongside these projected
changes, Congress needs to budget for delivering more efficiency in
operational management of our nation’s prisons. With the help of lawmakers,
institutions will be making budgets for the programs for all the inmates.
Funding for these programs and other jail services needs to be
departmentalized to help regulate the flow cash. Hopefully, this will
result in creating a cash flow that will begin at the top and have a
trickledown effect towards other forms of change.
Rehabilitation in the prison system may be the most crucial yet
overlooked aspect in the entire system. Rehabilitation should be the goal
in the jails rather than trying to incorporate rehab on inmates after they
are released. The way the systems works right now has many inmates
reverting back to old habits because they were not properly rehabbed while
being locked up. Half-way houses were developed for a way to help
transition pervious convicted inmates back into society; however, drug
trafficking and other illegal activities that are prevalent in these
designated houses only exacerbate the problem. (Carson) The immediate
surrounding community does not benefit from the half-way house if convicts
are not conditioned for rehabilitation while they were serving their
sentences in jail. Allowing convicted drug-uses to live in these houses
amongst the general public actually helps spread the drugs around the
community Restructure this sentence as "they Say". It becomes a place where
drugs of all kinds can be found, rather than drug-users of the past trying
to get back into normal life. Halfway houses would cease to exist if the
inmates were able to return back as an asset to society rather than another
ex-convict who happens to live in the area.
The government’s standard of moral and financial stability
comes to odds when the prison population problem shows no sign of
improvement. Politicians are known to debate the overpopulation crisis to
render a political advantage over their counterparts. However, it seems
these so called solutions are not being put into actions. Both parties
strategize to cut down their competition by showing that their opponents
are not as tough on crime as they are. The general public will absolutely
be against all forms of crime. But without proper education, the political
battlefield in our American two party systems will lead itself to only make
the problem worse. It would be beneficial to have a reasoned political
debate on the contributions of criminal punishment to actually reduce crime
rates. However, it seems hard to grasp in our political atmosphere where a
political gain is the main goal rather than addressing the overcrowding.
The true dilemma lies in the public’s opinion on crime and punishment. It
is important to inform and educate the media and the general public about
the realities of sentencing practice. Politicians feed on the public’s
desire to increase protection from criminals. In J.M. Hough’s book on
tackling prison overcrowding, he explains that the heart of the problem of
prison overcrowding is our political landscape How does HE describes this
landscape. He continues to proclaim the urgency in getting the government
officials to enact policies to truly reduce overcrowding of jails.
The constant growing prison population is due in part to
over-incarceration. American ideology is such that sending an individual to
jail coincides with the increases of public safety. This is not always the
case, though. Oftentimes, individuals who are sentenced to jail learn more
about how to successfully attempt crimes while they are behind bars due to
the inmates they encounter. For example, an alternative to imprisonment for
minor non violent crimes can be community service. This allows the
criminal to repay their debt to the society for committing the offense.
Alongside community service, other solutions should be brainstormed to help
the justice system run correctly and efficiently diminishing the
overcrowding crisis. [According to statistics recently released by the
U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics, American
taxpayers are spending more than a billion dollars per year to incarcerate
fellow citizens for marijuana use. Double check this source, are you
quoting? If so, it must be punctuated and cited properly ] This seems like
a very large amount of money being spent to accommodate drug users who
would not necessarily benefit from jail time. It is said that [more than
half of federal *prisoners* are incarcerated for *drug* crimes in 2010,
according to the Bureau of Justice *Statistics. Quote?Check this citation
to avoid plagiarism] (*Carson*) *Rather those individuals would greatly
benefit from a more progressive rehabilitation service. If policies are put
in place that will reduce imprisonment levels for minor non-violent crimes,
perhaps jail cells will be left for offenders who are a high threat to
society. This would leave behind the inmates who committed a severe crime
and are sentenced to jail according to how likely the individual could
return back to society. With this idea of other forms of punishment, the
overcrowding in jails can be an issue of the past. These would pave the
way for a better society as a whole. This ensures that individuals are
properly taken care of, without costing taxpayers a fortune by not
rehabilitating inmates back into society. Overcrowding in jails around the
nation has resulted in America having the highest number of inmates in the
world. This really shouldn’t be a statistic that is prized upon. Once the
problem is addressed and a solution is set action, only then can our
society develop and grow. We would be more efficient and be able to
encompass all the needs of the general public alongside all inmates. A
balance of creating what punishment or sentence would most greatly impact
the individual is what our jail system should try to achieve in doing that
fix our overcrowding dilemma.
This essay is much improved over the first rough draft. Your support can be
strengthened with some specific quotes (rather than mostly paraphase or
summary). Organization can be refined. look for topic sentence in each
paragraph that states crucial issue to be discussed and LINKS it back to
your overall argument. If you cant find one, add it in.
The essay needs to be at least 5 pages, not including the works cited page.
The essay needs another proof or two. Watch especially for word choices
errors and awkward phrasing. Fic formatting errors.
*First paragraph, some of these statements contradict. Need transitions.
*second #- Which reports? Cite the source that provide this information.
Second paragraph is very substantial evidence, but it NEEDS source citation.
*third paragraph- when mentioned the times provide parenthetical citation.
The end of the paragraph is a little confusing. Did not understand why
money was in parentheses.
*Paragraph 5 first sentece " Stability comes to odd when" (idiomatic Error)
This is a very interesting topic with a well started thesis. There are a
few language problems, but the draft is overall fair.
What is a concern is its lack of source citation. Where does the info comes
from? In addition to your works Cited, you must have parenthetical citation
in the body of the essay.
To strengthen the argumentative aspects of the essay, focus on the WHY
behind your claims. e.g Why is prison overcrowding such evil.? What Harm
might it do to prisoners and the society in general.
