Can We Decrease Homlessness

Hicks 1 August 16, 2012 Can we decrease homelessness? The essay â€Å"A Modest Proposal† by Jonathan Swift is a brutal satire in which he suggests that the poor families should kill their young children and eat them in order to eliminate the growing number of starving citizens. At this time there was extreme poverty and a wide gap between the poor and the rich, the tenements and the landlords. Throughout the essay Swift uses satire and irony as a way to attack the indifference between classes.Swift is not seriously suggesting cannibalism; he is trying to make known the desperate state of the lower class and the need for a social and moral reform. Although this essay was written in the 1700’s we still have the same issues of homelessness and poverty in today’s modern society. Anna Quindlen Pulitzer Prize award winner author of â€Å"Our Tired, Our Poor, Our Kids,† states â€Å"Today the average homeless woman is younger than ever before, many have been in foster care or in shelters herself and so considers a chaotic childhood the norm† (345).Quindlen talks about the cycle of homelessness and poverty three hundred years after swifts essay. Smith goes to extreme measures to explain his new plan to raise the economic wellbeing of his country. He explains â€Å"what age is too young and what age is too old, in order to eat the Hicks 2 tenants children when they are at their prime juiciness. He also gives a list of suggestions on how to cook them. A young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled, and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout. (350-352). Although he suggests to sell and cook the homeless babies. Swift is trying to point out the fact that reforms that would be practical and beneficial to the people are being overlooked for the convenience of the rich. Melanie Scheller author of â€Å"On The Mea ning Of Plumbing And Poverty,† writer for North Carolina Independent Weekly, state’s â€Å"My family was visibly and undeniably poor. My clothes were obviously hand-me-downs, I got free lunches at school, I went to the health depertment for immunizations† (356).Like swift Schellar emphasizes on what being in poverty and homeless is like. â€Å"It is a melancholy object to those who walk through this great town or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads, and cabin doors, crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags and importuning every passenger for an alms. These mothers, instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in strolling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants† (349).They are trying to get people to understand that not every homeless person has a way to get out and go find work so they can go find work and provide for their f amilies. Hicks 3 Peter Singer author of â€Å"The Singer solution to world Poverty,† an Australian-born philosopher and bioethicist, states â€Å"poverty, hunger, illness, and lack of shelter, these are the things that plague a majority of the people of the world and yet most of us are not even aware of it† (359).He believes that prosperous people should donate all of the money not needed for the basic requirements of life to organizations meant to help those less fortunate that are homeless and/or in poverty. Life swift he is trying to find a way to help those whom need it. Swift says â€Å"with neither house nor clothes to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather, and the most inevitable prospect of entailing the like or greater miseries upon their breed forever† (353). Both Singer and Swift feel the need to help those less fortunate and want other people to know that they can help.The hole meaning is to try and get people to understand that not everyon e is as well of as them, that not everyone can just go off and get a job so they can provide for their families and that is why they end up in poverty and homeless. Swift says â€Å" I profess in the sincerity of my heart, that I have not the least personal interest in endeavoring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the public good of my country, by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich† (353).If Swift was around today I believe he would be a great president for the United States of America and that he would actually make a great difference to those in poverty and homeless.

The Apple Logo

Logos: Apple A very common sight for many people: The Apple logo. In the diagram on the separate sheet, we see how they used Fibonacci to make an aesthetically pleasing picture. The logo looks nice because of its rounded, almost spherical shape. Some would argue that it is perfect whereas others find it boring. Over the years the colours have changed from the rainbow stripes of 1976 to the monochrome of 1998. It had changed to be monochrome to look more professional as opposed to childish.It also scaled up the size of the logo to make It look far more prominent and make anyone ith an apple product In public an advertisement. The first apple logo was of Isaac Newton under a tree made in 1976: it quickly died due to its complexity and overall ugliness. It was archaic and would not fit onto their products very easily without making it look stupid. The bite in the new logo was said by the designers to make it look less like a tomato.Their fans said the bite was a byte – a small ne rdy Joke which the developers and media found rather amusing and fitting for a technological company. When asked about the logo design, Jean-Louis Gass ©e, former apple executive, tated: â€Å"One of the deep mysteries to me is our logo, the symbol of lust and knowledge, bitten into, all crossed with the colors of the rainbow in the wrong order. You couldnt dream a more appropriate logo: lust, knowledge, hope and anarchy. This was an inspiring thing said, of course, by a passionate Frenchman. Rob Janoff, designer of the rainbow Apple logo, said there was no Importance of the colour scheme and that he Just wanted green to be at the top where the leaf Is, however, Steve Jobs said he wanted the rainbow colour scheme to ‘humanize' their ompany. I think the logo is good because of all the thought that went into making it. We do not know if the Fibonacci sequence was actually used when it was made but either way, it works to make icon look sleek.In our society, Apple products are seen as a symbol of wealth which, to me, seems rather Ironic to Gass ©e's statement of the bite. All In all, they certainly do take a bite out of your wallet. Source of historical information: http://www. edibleapple. com/2009/04/20/the-evolution-and-history-of-the-apple-logo/ The Apple Logo By Mackatosh caled up the size of the logo to make it look far more prominent and make anyone with an apple product in public an advertisement.

Make the Most of Your Tactile Learning Style

According to some educational theorists, there are as many as nine different types of intelligence and multiple styles of learning. Tactile or kinesthetic learners are those who learn through experiencing and doing things. How Tactile Learners Learn Tactile learners like to experience the world and act out events. To remember a phone number, tactile learners may remember the pattern of their fingers as they  press the numbers on a phone or keypad. Tactile learners can remember complicated directions once theyve acted them out. Look over these traits to see if they sound familiar to you. You may be a tactile learner if you are someone who: Is good at sportsCan’t sit still for longIs not great at spellingDoes not have great handwritingLikes science labStudies with loud music onLikes adventure books, moviesLikes role-playingTakes breaks when studyingBuilds modelsIs involved in martial arts or danceIs fidgety during lectures Challenges for Tactile Learners Because tactile learners learn best through movement, they may become bored more quickly than other students while listening to a class lecture. They may also find it difficult to focus on long lectures, write extended essays, or read for extended periods of time. Study Tips for Tactile Learners An active study is good for every student. But it is especially important for the tactile learner to use active study strategies when preparing for a school exam. Tactile learners need to be actively involved as they receive and process new information. Kinesthetic learners can benefit from: Studying in short blocks of timeRole-playingTaking lab classesTaking field trips or visiting museumsStudying with othersUsing memory gamesUsing flashcards to memorizeUsing a smart pen for taking notes. A smartpen records audio content that takes place while the student is taking notes. That means that students can go back to review class notes and listen to any lecture that took place as the student recorded notes.Acting out the topics, stories, and subjects they study. For example, activities like reacting to the past enable students to immerse themselves in the topics and experience subjects they study.   Tactile learners may choose to use the Journey Method for memorizing new information (mentally placing concepts in a location). Learning games and group activities are good tactics for the tactile learner. The more active this student can be during study time, the more information that study is likely to retain. When preparing for an exam of any type, the tactile learner should practice writing a test essay (make up your own essay questions). Write the first essay using the textbook as a guide, then practice the essay several times in preparation for test day. Opportunities for Tactile Learners Certain types of classes are likely to appeal to tactile learners. For example, tactile learners will thrive in the sciences that include a lab experience. They are also likely to do well in classes that combine hands-on and conceptual learning such as: Culinary artsHome economicsEarly childhood developmentTheater or other performing artsVisual arts (sculpture, for example)Engineering If you are a tactile learner in a high school or college setting, consider choosing electives or a major that makes the most of your strengths.
