Politeness is defined as the application of good manners and etiquette. This is really important when it comes to communicating in society because it can come with many benefits. An advantage of polite speech is having a good reputation and first impression. People associate goodness with friendliness and politeness. Talking in a literal manner instead of a polite manner can make you look sophisticated and uptight. This will make people in your community think that you are controlling and they might avoid socializing with you, which would be terrible. Being polite also helps you get new friends and also improve your existing relationships. Politely speaking with your friends shows that you care about them and you value your friendship.

Radiation is energy that travels through waves. High levels of radiation have the "power to damage living cells."They cause damage to your internal organs over time and can even lead to cancer in the future. The three main types of radiation that affect us today are alpha, beta, and gamma.  Alpha radiation is actually an ejected helium nucleus. It is short ranged, so it does not penetrate through matter. This means that it also cannot penetrate through our skin, so it is not considered a threat to humans. However, digesting alpha radiation, most commonly through radon gas, can be very harmful. Even though it can't lead to radiation sickness, it usually leads to lung cancer. Beta radiation, on the other hand, in an ejected electron. It can travel a few feet and can also be penetrating sometimes. This type of radiation also only causes the most harm when digested. Beta radiation is used a lot in medicine. One instance is radioisotopes. These are used to irradiate c...

Humorists take the role in society of lightening up the mood of everyone around them while also conveying very important messages that people can’t normally say or talk about. Some people think that humorists only humor people, but there are many examples that contradict that.  One example is Hasan Minhaj. Minhaj’s show, Patriot Act, is a “Peabody Award-winning comic [that] explores the modern cultural and political landscape with depth and sincerity.” He uses his comedic and sarcastic voice and humorous jokes to make his audience laugh and make them come out of their serious moods while he talks about many issues, from political to global issues, that the world faces. These issues are sometimes problems that are never talked about,  such as race and religion. Making a decision to talk about them while incorporating humor will make his audience take the topic more seriously, not fall asleep, and pay attention more.  However, humorists also humor their audience ...

Babies are either declared as male or female based on appearances and genes, but that is the only thing that separates them from one another. But as children grow up in adults and start to have families, the roles they are expected to play also make them more different from one another. In a family, the role of a man is to earn a salary and support his family. He is expected to have a good earning job, a car, money, good manners, etc. To his wife, he must be a loving husband who cares about her and always has her back no matter what. He must protect her and her children and be ready to sacrifice himself for them. To his children, he must be a leader and a teacher. He must teach them the way of the world and how to be successful in life. He must always prioritize them and always be there for them. He should also discipline them of their wrong-doings and teach them how to improve themselves as a person. The role of a woman in a family is to take care of the house and take care of t...

Most men have always satisfied the definition of usual or normal in society when it came to looks and clothes, but it has always been different for Women. Women have always been classified into a certain group. They can either be simple, classy, stylish, etc. Basically, society classifies women into types. According to Deborah Tannen in her essay There Is No Unmarked Woman , this is referred to as "unmarked" since they added so many accessories to the "unmarked" style.  For so long, women have been dressing up in marked styles, and the biggest reason for this can probably be because of society. Society holds high standards for everyone, especially women. Whether they want to or not, women must accept these standards in order to fit in and not be made fun of. Because of this, it might not be possible for a women to be unmarked in our culture today. An unmarked woman might be called simplistic, poor, or even said to have no sense of fashion or style, which can ruin ...

*SPOILERS AHEAD* Everyone, or at least I, thought that the only hardships African Americans went through in America was slavery. However, it was only after reading the book The Color Purple  by Alice Walker that I discovered that my assumption was totally false. African Americans also went through so many obstacles in their personal lives. One common example is the presence of affairs. Almost everyone in the book was either cheating on someone or cheating with someone. The book never talked about the feelings of the characters when it came to affairs, but what was mentioned was the fact that Celie was not happy when Shug and Albert were spending time together. She wanted the woman she loved, her moral support, and her best friend just for herself and she couldn't bear to see her with someone awful. Celie was also involved in an affair, but it was more of rape and abuse to her. She had to go through the torture of bearing three kids with her father at the age of 14, which...
