1. The new political philosophy which are emerging from these studies can affect our country for years to come.

2. In my opinion, the greatest threat to American democracy is the executive’s tendency to usurp the authority to declare war.

3. In large Chinese universities, teachers’ opportunities to work with individual students are limited.

4.College students often complain of teachers who, after assigning a long final term paper at the end of the semester, only give a grade without providing other feedback such as critical comments.

6. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth, the story of King Lear and his daughters was so popular that by the time she died, reader could find it in at least a dozen books. Most of the stories, however, did not develop their characters and were simple narratives with an obvious moral. It would therefore seem that several versions of this story must have been available to Shakespeare when he began work on Lear, perhaps his greatest tragedy. But while be based his characters on these stock figures of legend, he turned them into credible human beings with complex motives.

Why the societies collapse Jared Diamond’s 2003 talk

He analyses the reasons why the societies collapse. He mentions societies that collapse, such as Mayas and Somalia. Stating that it is not because of one factor.

First of all, he defines a five point framework  in order to explain society collapses and illustrates by using  two as societies as example. They are Greenland North and South West Montana societies.  The five point are Human impact, on the environment, Climate change, Neighbor friendly societies, Hostile society and Political, social, cultural problem.

Second, He also speaks about that in many cases the collapse after  the society reach its peak in few decades. For instances, the Mayas and Soviet Union reach speak and very soon after that they collapse. He made analogy with a bacteria in petry dish   to explain mismatch between available recourses and resources consumption. Bacteria grow there the duplicate their number each generation but suddenly there is not food enough food. That is the reason because the societies collapse very soon after get their peaks.

Finally, he explains how the societies do not realizes that the collapsing . They are conflict of interest of decision making elites and it is hard for a society to make good decisions when there is a conflict involving strongly held values that are good in many circumstances but are poor in other circumstances. He explains that there a lot of thing that we do not understand  and need to understand about our societies to avoid collapses.

Move 1b about current theories about citations

Citations are widely recognized as being an important and distinctive property of academic texts. As a consequence, the presence or absence of citation allows the casual reader to get an immediate sense of whether a text is an academic or popular one. Because citation is such an obvious surface phenomenon, it has been much discussed in the academic world. Indeed, there are several theories about the role and purpose of citations in academic texts.

Move 1b

Here , It will introduce the six main theories. Two of them are of public domain, and other four are from specific authors. The first theory is widely used in manuals and it proposes that the citations are used to recognize and acknowledge the intellectual property rights of authors. They are a matter of ethics an( a defense against plagiarism. The second  is well established fields like the sciences and it proposes  Citations are used to show respect to previous scholars. They recognize the history of the field by acknowledging previous achievements. The other four are as mentioned before are from specific authors

While Ravetz(1971) sais that  citations operate as a kind of mutual reward system. Rather than pay other authors money for their contributions, writers "pay" them in citations. Gilbert (1977) explains that citations are tools of persuasion; writers use citations to give their statements greater authority. However Bavelas (1978) think that citations are used to supply evidence that the author qualifies as a member of the chosen scholarly community; citations are used to demonstrate familiarity with the field. Finally, Swales (1991) stated that  citations are used to create a research space for the citing author. By describing what has been done, citations point the way to what has not been done and so prepare a space for new research.



Time management for graduate student

Choosing a bachelor degree is a very important decision.  Moreover,  The labor  martke is very competitive today. Every day, the job hunting is a more difficult task, and even if you get a job is difficult being promoted. These situations lead to people look for more specialization in their different fields. They decide to take a master. However, they have problems to manage their time. Graduate students usually are taking at least 3 courses each semester. In addition, they have to work to afford their studies, and they take care of relative, such as children and wife.

A lot of universities, thinking in these students are implementing online courses where students from their house can access to their classes and learn.  Online courses are every day more popular. They provide videos about classes, online practices and books to students .  Even although the students still have to work  full time and take care of their family, this alternative make  their studies easier. They save commuting time going to the university, and they can access to their classes whenever they want.
