 Problem: The Black Market for Body Parts

 

Solution:  re-implement slavery

 

            Solves two problems: 1. People need organs

                                                  2. Villages need money

 

The wealthy citizens can meet with the chief and barter an agreed amount of goods for a healthy individual

 

Obviously stealing organs is wrong but if you have bought the person then it is not unethical

Proposal for new Burger King Mini burger commercials

  The new commercials for the mini burgers aren’t getting the reaction we were hoping for.  Many viewers and listeners are commenting that these commercials are annoying and dumb. Furthermore, I think these commercials should be targeting women more then men, and these commercials make women look dense. 

To promote the new Burger King mini burgers, I propose a series of commercials based off of the “Burger family” commercials. In these commercials the dad burger should be introducing the baby “mini” burger to his brother, the “Junior” burger. I think this will get the attention we were hoping for; these types of commercials appeal to men, women, and children. 

topic proposal #3

For essay 3 I propose to write an essay in the style of "A Modest Proposal"

I plan to write an article on how we can eliminate the welfare problem. There are so many people in the welfare system (including "octo mom") and a lot of them aren't working or useful members of our country, they keep having children and then get more of the tax payers money. In order to save our country from certain disaster, I propose that we sell all the people that are currently on welfare to the highest bidder. Selling the people will also help the government get back some of the money they have wasted on all the people on welfare and they can put the money into the education and health care system so less people will have to be sold in the future.

For the first text I chose the song, "Love, Me" by Collin Raye.

I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. He said,
"Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so.

"We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together.
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead
Of her, I found this letter, and this is what it said:

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.

I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away,
In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray.
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years;
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
Between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.

For the second text I chose a youtube video, "Kid Gives The Evil Eye"

Topic Proposal #2

I think I am going to write about the affects of drinking on college students academics.

I have four possible sources:

• College Student Alcohol Consumption, Day of the Week, and Class Schedule
• Does Heavy Drinking Affect Academic Performance in College?
• An Analysis of Environmental and Social Factors Affecting Adolescent Problem Drinking
• In case you haven't heard...

All of the sources state different ideas about the affects of student drinking. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to write about but my issue is pretty straight forward.

possible topics

Here are three topics that interest me:

1. The drinking age

2. Obama's stimulus package plan

3. Stem cell research

topic proposal #1

For the first essay I think I am going to write about why political humor is important. I’ll share some of the current events about political humor like the fact that the democratic party is trying to get a Bill passed (The Fairness Act) which states that if a radio personality says something negative about [Obama], then the radio headquarters must invite someone on the show that has the opposite opinion. I personally think this is crazy and we live in America so if someone wants to bash the president then they should have the right to do so… I do believe it says something like that in the Bill of Rights and it might just be the first thing on the list! Anyway, back to the point, the questions I will use will be:
1. What appeals or techniques does the argument use?
2. What authorities does it rely on or appeal to?
3. What are the facts used in the argument?
I’m not sure what else will be in my essay, but this is the basic idea.
