Revenue Unit !! Project

/in /by

In Unit II, you were given several options of organizations to choose from, and you were asked to draft a response regarding

the organization’s goals. This is the basis for your rationale. Here is where you explain the organization and its financial

needs to the individuals tasked with approving your requested budget.

You should start on the spreadsheet template (linked below) and include the rationale, which you submitted for Unit II. Make

sure you reference and cite (in APA format) any demographic information you list, as well as any other information you have

used from your research. Even though it is a fictional organizational budget, you cannot make up the numbers.

This exercise is also an opportunity to determine the methods of obtaining revenue for the EMS organization serving as the

focus of your comprehensive budget project. Begin thinking critically about how your EMS organization will generate revenue

by listing the revenue line items on a budget sheet where you can calculate the total revenue for the budget. There are

several different methods of generating revenue, and the methods used can vary greatly for both non-profit organizations

and for-profit organizations.

Click here to download a template for the entire project, and insert details into the revenue section of your budget by

including each of the following:

Rationale for the budget in the Rationale section of the spreadsheet,

at least eight methods of generating revenue (insert the descriptions and reference citations),

the amount of each line item in the appropriate column,

the quantities for each line item, and

any references cited on the last page of the template.

Revising this topic

Response to Neal

Hi Neal,

Thank you for posting your draft. Please consider the following suggestions as you revise your essay for submission as your week two project:

1) In the future, make sure to post your drafts as Microsoft Word attachments.

2) Good work on your introduction and thesis statement.

3) Since your entire essay is an analysis and summary of Appiah’s article, you only need to include in-text citations after direct quotations.

4) Your section on logos actually ends up addressing pathos. Remember pathos appeals are about emotion, but logos appeals involve the use of facts and reason.

5) In your discussions of both pathos and logos, make sure to include direct quotations from the essay that illustrate the use of these appeals.

Please contact me if you have any questions about my comments.

How the Future Will Judge Us

Introduction

Appiah’s article, The Future Will Judge Us talks about the practices that we, as a nation, allow, yet we know that they are not morally right. These practices include destroying the environment, industrial processing of meat and mistreatment of animals, putting the elderly in nursing homes, and imprisonments. I am particularly interested in these issues because there is some truth in what Appiah argues about them. Most of these practices we do by suppressing the guilty conscious and reason its best for everyone. Appaih effectively uses ethos, pathos, logic, and emotional appeals to persuade the audience into supporting his argument (Appiah, 2019).

Main points in the article

Appiah argues that some of these practices are unethical and unjust to some extent. On the practice of imprisonment, he argues that the USA holds 4% of the world population yet imprisons 25% of it. Most of these offenders are convicted of drug charges. In prison, they undergo inhuman tortures. He also addresses industrial meat production, where he states that citizens allow animals to suffer so that they can have food in their stomachs. Some animals live in unclean and unhealthy conditions. The elderly is put in nursing homes away from families and forced to live their ewe years in isolation. He also addresses the issue of the environment, whereby people are destroying the environment without minding about tomorrow (Appiah, 2019).

Use of logistic appeals

Appiah uses pathos by targeting the emotions of the audience. He explains how animals are capable of suffering, too. He also describes how his mother had the privilege of spending her last years with a family that cared for her. He uses logic by explaining the facts of the issues. He states that cutting of trees affects the ecology and leads to desertification. People are destroying the earth by overfishing, and pollution. He also uses ethos to convince the audience by showing his credibility. He explains that he is from Ghana, where nursing homes do not exist. Thus, this information about his English mother is probably true (Appiah, 2019).

Use of emotion appeals

In his argument, Appiah specifically uses emotional appeals to capture audience attention. He creates an imaginary picture of what prisoners go through buy stating how they are subjected to sexual assault. He also causes one to imagine how animals go through pain and torture as they are killed, and their meat processed into delicacies. He also creates a mental picture of how a cow suffers when they live in a house full of feces, and the smell of urine Appiah makes one feel guilty when he says that the elderly is “warehoused’ in nursing homes. It makes the audience feel like the elderly are mistreated and treated like baggage when they are taken to family homes (Appiah, 2019).

Conclusion

Appiah’s use of ethos, pathos, logos, and emotion appeals was quite effective in persuading me to agree with him in his claims. The way he uses emotions paints an imaginary picture of the way the four practices have caused suffering to the different groups discussed in the practices. Through his article, he has shown that the use of the three elements ethos, pathos, and logos, a writer is able to effectively persuade an audience to support his argument.

Poetry Overview, assignment help

/in /by

Please see the below instructions, and respond in APA format.

Complete 1 ­ Summarizing Poetry

Step 1:

Read the following poems (you’ll find these in the
textbook and/or online)

° Nikki Giovanni “Poetry”

° Rita Dove “Sonnet in Primary Colors”

° Emily Dickinson “I’m Nobody! Who are
You?”

° Robert Frost “Fire and Ice”

Step 2:

Read each of your four poems silently to yourself at
least a couple of times. Breathe deeply, and take your time. Sink into the poem
and try to understand its soul.

Next, summarize each poem in 2­-4 sentences. In your
summary, try to respond to at least a couple of the following questions:

● How is sound working in the poem?

● What happens in the poem?

● Who is speaking?

● What is the poem’s message?

● What do you notice about the way that the poem sounds?

● Does this poem make use of any poetic sound
devices that you learned about i.e.,assonance, consonance, repetition?

Complete 2 ­ Reading Poetry Aloud

Read each of the above poems, but this time focus on
reading each poem using several different voices. This is really fun. See if
you can make a small child laugh. Read it with different emotions, like anger
or grief. Or pretend you’re a favorite cartoon character. As you do this, get used
to the rhythms of each poem and the play of words. Understand the persona.
Listen to yourself speaking the poem out loud. Who are you? And who are you
talking to? In 2-­4 sentences (per poem) describe your experience of reading the
poem aloud and how changing voices/tones impacts your understanding of and
response to each poem.

Complete 3 ­ Imagery and Metaphor Exercise

Choose one of the poems from the above set and write
a 3-­4 paragraph response in which you describe the pictures these poems create
in your mind. Make specific reference to the poem’s use of metaphor and
metonymy, as well as its imagery. Before getting started, review these terms in
the textbook and online.

Here is an example to get you started using a famous
Ezra Pound poem:

In a Station of the Metro

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;

Petals on a wet, black bough.

Sample student response:

I see a crowded subway platform and out of the
moving crowd of people, various beautiful faces take shape, one upon another. I
get this particular picture for several reasons. I see the subway platform
because of the title, and I see the crowd because the poem says there’s a
crowd. The reason the crowd appears to be moving lies in the main feature of
the poem, which is its metaphor. Essentially, the poem is nothing but a
metaphor, where the second line is a metaphor for the first line. In other
words, “petals on a wet, black bough” is a metaphor for “the
apparition of these faces in the crowd.” To me, this means the crowd
(bough) is moving and undifferentiated (wet, black) and the faces are
incredibly beautiful (petals on a bough). In my picture, singularly beautiful
faces take shape in succession because they are “apparitions.” They appear
to me from the moving, undifferentiated mass of bodies (the crowd).

Note: while metaphor and imagery are technical terms
and therefore objective, interpretation is subjective. The point is, don’t get
hung up on finding the correct meaning of a poem while learning the techniques
of poetry just dive in and share what you ‘see’!
