Women in chains

Human trafficking is the trade in humans, most commonly for the purpose of sexual slavery, forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation for the trafficker or others. During World War II, the Japanese established military brothels in countries they occupied. Women, many from occupied countries including Korea, China, and the Philippines, were forced to provide sexual services to personnel in the Japanese Imperial Army. In Argentina, prostitution itself is legal, but organized prostitution that means brothels, prostitution rings, pimping is illegal. The Imperial Japanese Army forced the women into sexual slavery. Euphemistically known as “comfort women,” they were taken to ‘comfort stations’ throughout the Pacific, including then East Timor and the Solomon Islands. In Argentina women are called prostitutes, sex workers or street walkers. Like any other large city, there is no lack of brothels, swinger clubs and seedy joints in Buenos Aires. Prostitution is, for the most part, legal here and is advertised subtly. There is a loose law that requires streetwalkers to stay at least 100 meters from private residences. As a result, most prostitution solicitation takes place within brothels and strip clubs. Comfort women were kept for months or years on end, and while most were under the age of 20, some were as young as 12. For many, the comfort stations were their first sexual experience, and many are infertile as a result of their enslavement. Many child protitutes in Argentina are trafficked to urban centres from rural areas or are trafficked from neighboring countries. Generally women from poorer provinces or countries come to Buenos Aires looking for job. Desperately they look for the wrong job and they start working at strip clubs, brothels or as a street workers. The cause for the existence of prostitution is going to continue in order to satisfy the male demand for buying sexual access to women’s bodies, which is the primary reason that prostitution exists.”

Summary: What is “Academic Writing”

SUMMARY

WHAT IS “ACADEMIC WRITING”

Research done on college writers recongnized that whether students produced a successful piece of writing, the results of the experiment greatly depend on the quality of their representation of the writing task. Most people as they start college have weird ideas about what they are doing when they write an essay or they have unclear idea at all. Some writers believe they must follow certain steps in a particular order to write correctly. Writers understand much of what they want to write as they write it. We put pragmatic expectations on the first drafts, either by focusing too much on the impossible task of making them perfect , or by making too little effort because we don`t care or know about their  inexorable problems. You can improve as a writer with effort and study. When people say “I can`t write”, what they often mean is they have problems with grammatical correctness. Writing, however, is about more than just grammatical correctness. Good writing is a matter of achieving your desired effect upon an intended audience. With an introduction, three supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion, the five paragraph essay is a pattern a writer should know, but one which you will outgrow. Avoid using “I” for example in a lab report, much college writing can be done in a middle, semi-formal style where it is ok to use “I”. The biggest problem which has seen in writers who writers for the first time is a poor sense of writing situation in general. In writing we are confined within the two-dimensional setting of the flat page. Separated from our audience in place and time, we imaginatively have to create this context. Our words on the page are silent, so we must use punctuation and word choice to communicate our tone. Developing your writer`s sense about communicating within the writing situation is the most important thing you should learn in composition. Writing in college is a quite specialized writing situation, and it has developed its own codes and conventions that you need to have a keen awareness of if you are going to write successfully in college. The audience is primarily the professor and possibly your classmates.The occasion or context is an assignment given by the teacher within a learning context and designed to have you learn and demonstrate your learning. The message will be you learning or the interpretation gained from your  study if the subject matter.The purpose show your learning and get a good grade.The documents genres used is the essay. Academic writing is always a form of evaluation that asks you to demonstrate knowledge and show proficiency with certain disciplinary skills of thinking, interpreting, and presenting . To be successful  in this kind of writing, you must be completely aware of what the professor expects you to do and accomplish with that particular writing task. College will require the writer to search for and find more in-depth information. Researching is also a process, so you`ll need to learn how to focus and direct a research project and how to keep track of all your source information. College writing typically asks you to write on unfamiliar topics. Academic writing is an argument. We have to take into consideration two importance things about academic argument: the value of an organized presentation of your case and  the crucial element of strong evidence. Academic writing is an analysis which involves doing three things: engage in an open inquiry where the answer is not known at first,  identify meaningful parts of the subject and examine these separate parts and determine how they relate to each other.

There are three different types of college writing assignment: the closed writing assignment: present you two counter claims and ask you to determine from your  own analysis the more valid claim. They resemble yes-no questions, the semi –open writing assignment: this kind of writing assignment resembles a kind of archeological dig. Despite using key words in the assignment  such as “ explain”, “illustrate” ,“analyse”, “ discuss” or “show how”, these topics still ask you to make an argument and the open writing assignment: these kinds of writing assignments require you decide both your writing topic and you claim. This kind of writing assignment resembles riding a bike without the training wheels on. Picking and limiting a writing topic is a challenge: looking for gaps, puzzling items, things that confuse you, or connections you see. Whatever topic  you choose, state it as a clear and interesting question. We have to mention three characteristics of academic writing: clear evidence in writing that the writers have been persistent, open-minded, and disciplined in study, the dominance of reason over emotions or sensual perception and an imagined reader who is cooly rational, reading for information, and intending to formulate a reasoned response. The pattern of the academic essay must contain the characteristics of a critical essay. Critical is not used in the sense of “to critize” as in find fault with. Instead “critical” is used in the same way “critical thinking” is used. A synomyn might be “ interpretive or analytical.

1.      It is an argument, persuasion essay that in its broadest sense makes a point and supports it.

2.      The point of a critical essay is interpretive in nature.

3.      Organization : the critical essay should have a clear introduction, body,and conclusion.

4.      Support: the primary source for support in the critical essay is from the text. The text is the authority, so using quotations is required.

5.      A critical essay will always “document its sources, distinguishing the use of outside information used inside your text and clarifying where that information came from.

6.      Whenever the author moves from one main point to the next, the author needs to clearly signal to the reader that this movement is happening.

7.      A critical essay is put into an academic essay format such as the MLA or APA document format.

8.      Grammatical correctness: your essay should have few if any grammatical problems.

Your success with academic writing depends upon how you approach the writing task. Knowing what you need to do it`s guaranteed that it will be a success.

THANKS FOR LOVING ME

It's hard for me to say the things

I want to say sometimes
There's no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words when I

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me

I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky's a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you'd make believe
That you believed my lies

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me

Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words when I

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
You parted my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

When I couldn't fly
Oh, you gave me wings
You parted my lips
When I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me

Working Women and Reason for Students' Failure

WORKING WOMEN

Women think and act alike in most cases regarding work and family. They think that work and family are equally important to invest their time and effort. To cite an example, the author of Harry Potter books-Joanne Kathleen Rowling-first thought of the book when she was on a train between London and Manchester and she had no money, no job and a baby daughter to raise. It took her five years to finish the book, but she loved writing and didn’t give up. There are many examples of working women sharing time at work and home. They have to work for long hours, and the most common cause is that they need the money. Once upon a time, a long time ago, women had to do the household chores and take care of their children and wait for their husbands to come back from work; there was a time when husbands were the breadwinners. As society ‘develops’-one of the main causes of working women was world war I- women were obliged to work, there was no choice because their husbands were in the middle of the fight. From that moment, women became heroines, apart from taking care of the house and children, they had to work. At the beginning, they have to work in factories, handle heavy machines, etc. Nowadays they can work from home in some cases, or at the office, kind of ‘frendlier’ jobs but for a very long time their salaries were very poor compared with men’s.  Later, as time went by, men were no longer the breadwinners, and women almost shared income in a fifty percent with men. Women had to learn how to cope with family and work. To sum up, working women is now an accepted concept, and they also have Internet blogs and sites were they can ask advice on how to deal with home and work and share experiences. 

REASONS OF STUDENTS´ FAILURE

                 One of the priorities of research in education is study the causes of students failure during their school work. To begin with, there are many reasons why students can fail and we seem to always want to find someone or something to blame.The first thing to be considered is the lack of motivation that is to say a student who does not realize why they need to succeed, will not succeed. It is a fact that some children need some kind of motivation to help them through school. If they do not have motivation, they fail. There is not doubt that peer relationship can cause changes in the students behaviour. A parent needs to monitor their child´s friends all the way through primary and secondary school as well. We believe that if students are not at school, they cannot learn that is to say attendance is another important reason to consider about. In addition many of the students who attend schools, they do not like it, they do not practice their homework or study due to cheating or copying. They are caught cheating by their teachers many times. Another reason is their parent involvement, if parents are aware of the school and teacher expectations and can enforce hard and solid work habits at home, the students will be successful. With parent support students have more opportunities to succeed.

In addition organization is essential to order daily activities at school. Students who have not an agenda or have a messy schoolbag are signs that students are not active in their education. In conclusion  the causes of students failure have different reasons and it becomes necessary to determine the factors of these reasons  to find out the solutions to improve the students school life and their problems.

What is a well-written paragraph like?

    ACADEMIC WRITING

Structure of a well written Paragraph  

Parts of a paragraph

• The topic sentence

It states what you are writing about, what your subject is, which formula is followed to write an effective topic sentence.

• The body

Supporting details and supporting arguments for your topic sentence.

• The closing sentence

Remind the audience what you are writing about; keep them thinking. Restate the topic sentence but in a different way.

Writing skills

To write a very clear paragraph you have to follow some rules:

• Indent that is to set in or back from the margin, as the first line of a paragraph or skip a line. Do not use both of them. This rule has to do with the way the paragraph looks.
• One central idea in one paragraph.
• All other ideas come after the thesis statement. They must directly relate to the main topic.
• The length of the paragraph could be different.
• It is important to have lots of details. These details should explain why the topic is important to the overall idea of the essay. The reasons and the examples support what you are saying about the topic sentence.
• Use bridges. One idea in a sentence must be connected to the next one and this to the next. It creates flow.
• Key terms are used when you have to write about something specific. They can be used as many times as you need to but avoid repetition of words.
• End the paragraph with a very clear statement that the idea finish.
