All posts need to be in your own words.1: Both Levin and Solomon provide strong evidence to support their claims on the subject of torture. Solomon uses sources such as polls, books, quotes, and other sources such as news from CNN and a poll that stated that “45 percent of Americans would not object to state torture if it extracted information about terrorism.” Levin uses visual examples to explain his believes. He provides an example where a terrorist group kidnaps a newborn and ask four mothers if the act of torture would be justified if the child would be returned to its family. All four of them agreed that such act is justified. Both articles have solid points but out of both of them I would to say that both are just as strong as each other. I believe that the problem with torture is who is the person in question that is being tortured and who is the one doing the act. Some people could break easily and give the desired information while others could take a lot more punishment. As stated in Solomon’s paper, torture could dehumanize people and cause them to say anything to make the torture stop. Any information they provide has the chance to be false. However, there is still the possibility in the information being true and if people are desperate enough, then they will proceed with the torture to get any information. While the use of torture is something inhuman, some people would use it in order to prevent a calamity, especially if there is timer.REPLY :2: In Levin’s article, he provides more visual evidence by giving the audience a few scenarios that they can visualize in their mind and using those examples to his advantage by persuading the audience to believe in his point of view. He describes in one example that he conducted a poll involving a terrorist group that kidnapped a newborn and asking four mothers if they would approve of torture to the kidnappers if it meant bringing back their newborn baby. Consequently, each mother approved. Solomon’s article provided more real-life evidence such as referencing polls, books, and quotes from actual public figures. She referenced a poll from CNN that stated that “45 percent of Americans would not object to state torture if it extracted information about terrorism.” Both articles are persuasive because they both use clear, concise, and credible evidence to support their point of view. While I liked Levin’s point of view on the topic of torture, I found Solomon’s argument to be the strongest. Levin did use very clear and credible evidence in his argument because while I read it, I was very open-minded to what he wrote. Even if I felt that it was not necessarily true, I did agree that his views were valid and relevant. However, he kept having to use one hypothetical scenario after another instead of fact-based scenarios that made his article wordy. Solomon, on the other hand, did not seem to have that issue because she offered her own personal anecdotes and factual evidence to explain her point of view. In that case, she seemed more consistent than Levin in her argumentREPLY :

The Interpretive BrochureInterpretive brochures are used by park rangers, state archaeologists, museum curators, and tribal governments to communicate with the public. Interpretive brochures are used for two important reasons: they convey important interpretive messages to various publics, and they enhance the public’s perceptions of recreation and tourism resource agencies and organizations.In this assignment, you will assemble pictures, drawings, and text to create a tri-fold, 8.5 x 11, two-sided brochures. Illustrations can be copied out of books and magazine articles, downloaded from the web, be computer generated, or be hand drawn. Regardless of how the illustrations are generated, they should be neat and presentable, and appropriately credited (e.g. include the source of the image in parentheses at the end of the figure title). Please submit your brochure as a Word document (preferred) or a PDF.Topics to ConsiderEach of the following topics should be covered either by one or two sentences, or by a meaningful figure. Here are a set of guiding questions for each topic, but each of these questions does NOT need to be answered. The topic simply needs to be addressed.a) Map. This figure should show the location of the site. In some cases, you may want to show the location on a world map as well as on a local map. Ask yourself how important was the topography and setting to the site.b) Chronology. What time period does your site belong to? What came before and after? What changes occurred during the use of the site? When was the site discovered?c) Discovery and Methods. Who discovered the site? How was the site investigated? Was any advanced technology used or was the excavation standard for the period?d) Mobility and Population Density. What is known about how the inhabitants of your site organized themselves over space? Are there different kinds of settlements and special-use sites (such has hunting camps) in the surrounding area? What does the site look like? A map illustrating the layout of the site and labeling different structures or areas is ideal. What did their houses look like? Who lived in each house? How many people lived in each house?e) Economy. How did the inhabitants of your site support themselves (foragers, horticulturalists, agriculturalists, pastoralists, industrialists)? What foods were traditionally eaten and at what times of year? How and where was this food collected? Were there any specific technologies or tools that were used by your cultural group for their specific subsistence techniques?f) Technology. What was the range of common tools used at your site? How many of these tools were associated with subsistence? What, other than subsistence, were tools used for? What resources were needed to produce various types of tools, and how far did people have to travel to collect these resources? How much control over the environment did their technology allow them to have?g) Social Complexity. What can be said about the social organization of the people at your site? Did they have leaders, chiefs, queens, respected elders? How was social inequality obtained (were people “born” into it, or was it achieved)? How was power maintained? What was the role of religion? What was the role of wealth? What was the role of kinship?h) Significance of the Site. What did the site tell archaeologists that no other site had told them? Was it the fist, largest, oldest, or some other superlative? What do the current inhabitants or descendant community think of the site? Do their beliefs differ from those of archaeologists? Basically, why should a reader be excited about the site and why did I assign the site?h) Something Unusual. Is there something particularly neat about your site or its inhabitants? Were son-in-laws and mother-in-laws never allowed to speak? Did they believe they could be reincarnated as a stink bug? What was their origin myth? Did they eat their neighbors? Choose one unusual thing that is unique to your site and discuss it.Guidelines for Creating the Brochure1) Keep in mind that the target audience for your brochure is the general public, so this brochure is the sort that would be available at a Ranger Station for hikers and campers, or at the Cultural Heritage Center, in the area of your site.2) Create a good title for your brochure. The title does not have to be a complete sentence, but must convey your topic in a meaningful and preferably exciting manner.3) Decide upon the main points that you wish to convey. Write the body of the brochure – at least three paragraphs of up to 60 words that address the topical issues listed above. Write a brief introduction and a conclusion that help carry the theme through your brochure. Include sub-titles to attract readers’ attention, and be sure that they are also thematic (instead of “Technology” you might use a subtitle such as “Breaking Rocks and Making Pots”). You may add bullets with additional information if it is appropriate to your site, in order to grab attention and better relate to your readers.CAUTION: Even though you are obtaining factual information from web pages or publications, be careful that you do not plagiarize. The text that you write for your brochure must be your original wording and phrases. Most on-line and published information is factual in nature, while your writing for this brochure will be informal and filled with your understanding of the topics. Since we are pretending that this brochure is being developed for actual tourist sites, use the real address or other factual information where appropriate, but do not take entire descriptive sentences from prior publications. If you have any doubt about what is appropriate, please ask! You do have permission to use photos from the internet as long as you include the web address on the brochure.4) Develop a tri-fold brochure that is 8.5 inches tall and 11 inches wide, using both sides of the paper. Select graphics and other design elements that make your brochure attractive and easy to read. Be sure to include contact information/address, etc. CAUTION: Do not leave the computer lay-out until the last minute, as every program seems to have annoying quirks related to moving photos, wrapping text, column layout, etc.5) Provide, on a separate piece of paper from your brochure, a “for further reading” list for those pesky tourists who always want more information. This bibliography need not be lengthy, but should include at least 5 sources other than your textbook. It should also include at least one published source (this includes JStor, EBSCO, and others available from the Library Databases) and only websites that have .edu or .gov extensions, or National Geographic or Archaeology Magazine. Published books are, of course, acceptable.

Cambodia essay assignment: 25%Write an essay of no longer than four pages (approximately 1000 words) on the following question: Drawing on (among other things) McLuhan’s metaphor of the ‘Global Village,’ Fawcett argues, in his book Cambodia, that the practices of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia in the 1970’s are somehow being repeated or mirrored by elite groups in North America today. Do you think that this is a reasonable parallel to make? In answering this question, make sure that you cover three stories from the book: one from the beginning (stories 1-6), one from the middle (stories 7-10) and one from the end (stories 11-13). In the course of your essay you should try to connect the stories that you choose to the subtext of the book. When you are quoting from the book, use the following format for showing page numbers at the end of your quotes: (33) or (subtext 33). You can write in first person (‘I’) if you want to. You are not required to introduce any academic research into your essay, but should you do so you will need to follow MLA or APA citation; in this case, please make it clear at the top of your essay which you are electing for. Your ‘Works Cited’ or ‘References’ page can in this case, if you want, constitute a fifth page to your essay. Due date: as given in the email I am sending you accompanying this text.

I spoke in the previous chapter on Metaphor the difference between metaphor and symbolism. Make sure to work on establishing that difference while reading about symbolism. Also, make sure that you understand symbolism as revolving around symbols. Don’t tell me the symbolism active in an entire poem or even an entire line. When identifying symbolism, focus on particular symbols, people, places, things that are turned into symbolism based on the context in which they are used. Start with the specific symbolic item and move out into the context within which the symbol works. You can then speak about separate symbols working together. For instance, “The heroic men move into the burning building.” Say that the poem is about different kinds of heroes, you can focus on the men themselves as being symbolic of a type of hero. Then you can look at the burning building as a specific kind of danger or the moving into the building a specific kind of heroic activity. Then you can look at them together. Build your symbolic analysis piece by piece.Also, notice how there are two different types of symbols pointed out, conventional and literary. A conventional symbol is a symbol that already has a clear symbolic meaning outside of the contextual, or literary, symbolism being built by the author. For instance, take my previous example. Perhaps the line says “The heroic men move into the burning building with American Flag patches on their sleeves.” Outside of all of the symbolism of the men, the burning building, and the moving into the burning building, you can analyze the American flag as a conventional symbol, which has all kinds of symbolic resonance.Irony is also broken into categories, dramatic irony, verbal irony, and situational irony. Make sure you pay close attention to the differences between each type so that you can classify any irony that you find into one or the other.Choose a poem and analyze it with one of the bold words/literary elements.
