SummaryTruth is the underlying layer to all human actions. Truth is the deciding factor of integrity (honesty) and it is what we yearn for and seek after like nothing else. Theory, on the other hand, is the outer layer of truth, sort of like the very beginnings of peeling back an onion. As time progresses we begin to see that this onion (like the theories we believe in) can sometimes turn into the core truth that our lives are situated on. Theory can be understood better and as a result we can use our understanding to better our worldview and our concept on truth. But first we must understand the definition.

SummaryCommunication competence is the concept or framework that defines communication as we know it. It covers the all of the bases of communication, from talking to a person individually, to specific cases where logistics and demographics come into play. In order to be able to communicate over a large contextual area, such as group, interpersonal, public, mass media or intrapersonal, a person must have at least a standing knowledge of communication competence. Drawing back to the time of Plato and Aristotle, we can find instances where communication competence has drawn its rots.
These are the ten principles of communication competence that are most intertwined in our society today. These principles, if used singularly, are incredibly useful but when used together extremely potent.

Summary When digging deeply into Aristotle’s “The Rhetoric” it only begs the question of the origins of the author. Many of us learn about Aristotle’s legacy in grade school and learn about his works. However, many of us also fail to learn the basic elements that made Aristotle who he was then and what he is today.
Aristotle was born in 384 B.C in Stagirus [a popular Greek colony]. His father was a physician to the King of Macedonia and from there Aristotle began a career of philosophy and educational entanglement (Berkeley).
He learned under the tutelage of Plato for nearly twenty years and from there he began a rather successful career himself on the side of rhetoric and scientific reasoning. Aristotle took a divergence from Plato’s train of though on several occasions but none bigger then their disagreement on the spiritual infusion of God and higher beings as a whole. This is where Aristotle and Plato broke off and Aristotle began his own practice (Griffin, 319).
Aristotle was well known throughout his time for his logic, reasoning and a syllogism known as deduction. Deduction played a major role in his teachings and belief systems. In order for Aristotle to believe something there had to be an element of touch and reality. Without this, nothing could be truly there. Therefore God could not exist in the present like many of us believe [ha, simple deduction!].

SummaryWhen a person sits down to work on a crossword puzzle the thought probably does not cross their mind that they are calling on various forms of linguistic knowledge in solving the crossword clues. The majority of basic language knowledge and usage is an unconscious phenomenon. It has been said that people “take language for granted because it comes so quickly and automatically.” As a result of this unconscious nature of language people rarely give consideration to the actual linguistic process of how they answer the questions that crossword clues pose. However, to anyone who studies linguistics, it seems obvious that there is a connection between crossword puzzles and semantics.

SummaryDystopian literature describes societies in which Government seizes total control over its citizens by eliminating their sense of individual self, and in turn, efficiently regulating their personal desires. Only with deviant selfishness can a member of dystopian society regain his personal independence from the state. The institution of a skillfully crafted state religion is an important factor in the success of an oppressive society; so long as adherence to a standardized core of beliefs can be maintained, the chance of civil unrest, and its resulting rebellion, is kept to a minimum. Religious indoctrination is the means by which totalitarian dystopias retain a subservient and mechanized citizenry.

SummaryIn the late days of August 2005, forecasters and meteorologists closely watched a storm soon to be named Katrina brewing in the Gulf of Mexico. Like many other infamous hurricanes of similar magnitude, the tropical storm began rather quietly and only caused initial high winds and some tangential storms off the Florida coast. But after coming ashore in Florida on August 27, the National Weather Service advised that the Gulf coast along Louisiana and Mississippi should prepare for the worst, fearing that the storm, after returning to the Gulf, would again pick up speed and head for more vulnerable areas (Knabb 2). They were right. Mere days later, a storm surge ravaged the coast of Mississippi and Louisiana unlike any in recent history. New Orleans, protected from the Gulf by doomed-to-fail levees in many lower income parts of the historic city, was violently attacked by gusting winds and heavy rain, and areas near the levees were completely destroyed by the hurricane’s floodwaters when the weak barricades collapsed. Wiping out entire neighborhoods and city boroughs, Katrina’s wrath left New Orleans under several feet of water and made damage incalculable for days and weeks after the terror had begun. Countless city residents were left homeless and without temporary shelter less despite the mandatory and volunteer evacuation efforts that had begun before the storm came ashore. Disease spread through the area as mold and rodents soon took to the damp environment (Cooper 54). Further exploiting the tragedy, scenes of helpless people clinging to trees and living on their rooftops for days became regular B-roll footage for cable news stations, as did disturbing reports and imagery of accumulating dead bodies floating through the flooded city (Roig-Franzia).

SummaryIn March 2005, the UN released its Millennium Ecosystem Assessment , the first comprehensive scientific audit of the state of the planet. Completed over four years by 2,000 experts, the survey demonstrates that economic activity has destroyed 60% of the Earth’s life-supporting ecosystems, threatening humanity’s ability to sustain its standards of living. Thus, even though the Industrial Revolution has brought about a tremendous rise in the standards of living of most in the Western World, and although globalization is spreading this wealth to an increasing number of people in the developing world, a growing number of worrisome environmental trends suggest that our current economic model is not sustainable in the medium- to short- run.
Faced with this diagnostic, environmentalists have traditionally argued that we need to put a halt on economic growth. This did not prove very popular in developed countries, where as Mr. Bush Sr. once put it “the American way of life is not on the table”, nor in developing countries, where economic growth is badly needed to lift billions out of poverty. For these reasons, the concept of eco-efficiency emerged as a way to reduce the environmental footprint of economic development. The idea was that by generating more production from smaller quantities of raw materials and energy, all the while generating less waste, an eco-efficient business model would inflict a lesser strain on the planet. While more politically acceptable, this view does not make our current model sustainable. It merely pushes back the time when mankind will run into serious environmental, and hence economic and societal, problems.
Fortunately, a new way of thinking about the relationship between the economy and the environment has emerged. With the Cradle-to-Cradle design protocol, architect Bill McDonough and chemist Michael Braungart are crafting an economic model that, by mimicking natural ecosystems, will allow us to thrive while restoring, not destroying, the planet.

SummaryEven before the Boston Red Sox won the World Series, people were religiously collecting their merchandise. Now, with the onslaught of newly marketed “2004World Champions” merchandise, there are even more t-shirts and hats to go around. Yet, this obsession goes beyond apparel. In the movie Fever Pitch, the protagonist, a schoolteacher named Ben, has Red Sox bed sheets, a Red Sox shower curtain, and just about every other piece of Red Sox memorabilia that has ever been produced. But why does he, along with legions of other sports fans, feel the need to collect team merchandise? Each time a fan buys a player’s jersey, they feel like they are reconnecting with the team, and everything they have experienced with that team. When a fan looks up at his signed baseball, he remembers the time he caught that foul ball at the park. Fans stay connected with the team and their memories by purchasing the team’s licensed merchandise.

SummaryWhen one thinks of the president Lyndon Baines Johnson, typically one associates him with the turbulent period we call the ‘sixties.’ Whether or not his term in office merely coincided with this era is an issue often debated. Nonetheless, his commanding presence has left an indelible mark on history. However, the fact that Johnson served as president during the largest commitment of troops to the Vietnam conflict as well as in sight of the birth of modern welfare and other social programs is not coincidental. His initiatives in these areas were largely due to his views on foreign and domestic policies. More specifically, Lyndon Johnson demonstrated a high idealism in many respects. This attitude that was reflected in his policies truly define Johnson as being firm in his convictions; so much so that his leadership strategies were what some may refer to as unilateral and self executed. Unlike some presidents before and after him who relied heavily on the council and direction of their own administration, Lyndon’s approach was more self guided. This phenomenon came in under the shadow of the JFK assignation and subsequent presidency. With this and numerous other facts in mind, what will be done in this paper is an overview of the Johnson presidency. The unilateralism of Johnson’s “top to bottom” micro management of the Vietnam War as well as his “Great Society” campaign will be examined, as well as the cloud that loomed over his residency in the White House after the JFK tragedy.
