President Morsi’s Repulsive Comments
Enter the stage of contention reflecting racism and prejudice descending from centuries of hate. The bone of contention is that there is no parallel level of being at ease with a Jew or a Zionist in the Egyptian Kingdom. Reflective of days of Moses comes the true plight of all races concerned and true inability to be at peace with each other. Supportive of Palestinians the Egyptian Government stands tall in support for the entire world to see that even though the Country of Palestina (Palestine) is small Egypt is the backer and support they have.
Civil Rivalry is running amuck in this not European or Western Country of supposed chivalry that it is like a knife in the front and back where a wound can be initiated at will and no recourse. Being weak and defenseless elsewhere is obviously a benefit and pleasure to know that the troops can be readied to kick a little “a”. Whether a condemnation can be justified for virulent remarks is a matter of opinion since there are obviously two sides to each story and only one explosion is being fired upon.
Reflective of thought is whether a consistent judgment is done in all matters of dilemmas or is it that reflective of past deeds is the case of no response to this country. After all a bully is a bully and a foul oppressor is a foul oppressor and will not be tolerated elsewhere and shows that reflective of the comments issued point blank that obviously wrong doing has been continually

committed to cause such emotionally charged outbursts and a show of force will obviously be forthcoming and soon.
Clear lines of direct fact are being said with no hidden innuendo or double entendere to hide behind. What is being said is factual feeling and a verbal challenge and gauntlet laid down harsh and hard.
Hostilities are an intricate cultural problem in the Eastern World that will never let the Western World or European World into their sphere. What is happening there…stays there and is a closed door to outsiders and always will be. If the need for intervention is needed requests will be made but otherwise any intervention is seen as a threat and an act of hostility and an act of pre-war.
Conclusionary thoughts are that no intervention will be welcome and that the lack of peace that exists will be dealt with summarily between the hostile countries and no intervention is wanted or needed by either the Western World or European World.

In Gun Debate even Language can be loaded
The language of guns, violence and the subsequent consequences of association that even
a turn of phrase can indicate a tendency or whim to utilize violence as an ultimate result to
culminate a desired wish. As per this article, the goal of the Brady Campaign is to promote
and push for restriction because of the Connecticut School shootings by public display.
Language of guns seem to be a bulls-eye on everyone’s back whether for it or against the flay of skin still lingers in the wind of channels lite for all to see. Further, this article reflects that the usage of language is a versatile transmitter that is capable of relaying double messages (entendre) and puns that bespeak something different than originally addressed. These avenues support a causal effect and allowed the visual shock that ran through the world to see the damage and acts done by the usage of guns in massacre of innocent children.
Relying on the use of clever entendre, dual meaning and metaphoric shields the language of guns, violence, mayhem is indeed allowed play. When violence and aggression is embedded as a second nature than the thought should not surprise that violence whether with a weapon or a gun decidedly is indeed the challenge to be rid of. Guns and the use of language as an aggressive fort of violence will indeed perpetuate the acts of guns. Because of this sidestepping is taking place due to landslides of emotional avenues of sensitivity that hopefully will circumvent a possible venue of violence to be levied against the person making a comment of factual thought. Checking once and then twice is the goal of smooth negation of relayed peaceful maneuvers.

Discovering a thought and flying high is the purpose of cutting the loop and that is to intentionally recede a person’s right to disagree and submerge it under for indeed a failed missile that mistook the avenue of chained command.
Further support of one is sometimes relayed as a thought that should be attacked by the subtlety of a cracking egg shot by indeed a cannon. Looking neither left or right is the goal to stop and halt and pretty much say “who is next” and receive the flay of skin removed levels of cognitive thought being used.
The article relays the view that the exploration of language and the usage of meaningful structures of compiled units reflect the ability to immerse hidden thought under layers that do not hide the true content or intent. That language as relayed by Larry Andrews (Language Exploration and Awareness) is a vehicle of thought with emphasis of meanings, conveyance of thoughts and ideas to effectively communicate a point. I agree with the content in the article that the usage of language can be a loaded gun that can incite the most unpredictable results and instigate continuous waves of negative and positive responses.
Furthermore, the thought that sometimes language can be used to incite as well as encourage can be a revealing thought and a point can be established by not clearly stating but encoding by usage of puns, entendre or whatever phraseology to sidestep and leave maneuverability and a fight stance if necessary. The article is addressed adequately to show the

The Power of Words
Felicia McCaw
SVSU - English 370 Response 3:
The Power of Words
The Power of Words
Words as a measure of power is sometimes the fatality of indirect and direct banter or searing rights to correct thought. Given full rights to control a situation words sometimes exhibit a life of their own to wound and consistently repeat and wound again. Not only can words serve as tangible weapons in wars of words that condone thrust and parries they can also heal and suppress the pain and remedy a wrong.
Because words are like systematic units of sounds and arrangement of meaningful units with clear meaning relayed and grammatical correctness they serve as functionable relicense of actual discourse or non-discourse. The question evolves does word clarify a situation, magnify it or dispel it. Words indeed have versatile rights of challenge to undermine a situation or solve it. They also have the ability to relay a positional point whether to reflect a value of meaning or to uphold a societal value that is parallel to it. As a societal value is upheld also comes the thought does the societal hierarchy apply and allow the power to name or assign, to determine definitions and names and enforce them or to prescribe correct usage and pronunciations.
A benefit of words and the structural base of usage reveals that a complex reciprocity exists that allow the political and social attitudes of words used in a relational base. Further, that as a usage of words exist so can meaning be itself arbitrary and not reflect a relational basis because meanings itself are not fixed. Therefore with the conclusion that meanings are allowable to change and vary as the power of worlds evolve.

Consequently, this reflect that words are reflective of multiple layers of meanings and as well as having a metaphoric meaning that is ambiguous and as well as clearly stated. Because of this uses and abuse connected to words as a powerful function in usage can be noted as either an assistant to a position or power or a deflector and nullifying of power. By utilizing double-speak this sometimes either allows a discreet conveyance of power or a sad lessening of effect by either camoflaging meaning or to purposely mislead.
Another variation in transmitting power of words is through meaning and the use of jargon or specialized language that is shorthand in verbal action that is its own secret verbal language. Similar to jargon is the slant and use of charged words to initiate power of communication as well as to persuade and reflect power that is transmitted from one to another.
Fighting words and taboo words are indeed powerful tools in themselves because they are indeed the trademark of politicians and swords of interactive play. However, regardless of inherent taboos these words are indeed a spark that relay an almost instantaneous reaction. In conclusion, the power of words covers many venues and is reflective of everyday living and in the real world. .As per the thought of words the usage determines the clear exchange of power.

What We Mean By “Knowing” a Language and How We Come to know it
Language The Knowing of What It Does, Consist of and Importance of Being
Language is by far one of the most intriguing studies of man since the initiation of changed sound to words to sentences to communication. The procedures in acquisition of language and its structure from its very base to the most extreme complexity of formal correctness is emphasized as a working theory.
Language is important and does matter especially because we utilize it to learn, interact and form adaptation foundations, be socialized, evolve, develop and continue relationships. Control is one of the main positive aspects of language and it relays power as well as ability to relay thoughts, action and stances on subjects, position and points of view. Further it is indeed a tool that can be used to manipulate, intimidate and control others. Because of this it has been given power to reveal the best in humans as well as the worst and enact social change sometimes for the good and the bad.
Language discourse is a predictor that is reflective in all language and it allows the ability to clearly discern the clash of mergence of various languages which accounts for the various interpretations of words used in a primary dialect. Even though the interpretation ability is slightly hampered by unclear designations the pattern of cognitive thought allows clarity to be allowed. By following the primary dialect that is

utilized this affords power and consistent success and empowers the user through language and literacy because of enabled fluency.
Even though fluency is allowed hidden nuances, hidden meanings and double entendre are woven through language and causes conflictual understanding, misunderstandings and sometimes deliberate misunderstandings. What may seem understandable in one culture may not have the same depth of meaning in another. Because of this interpretation value is questioned and challenged as to its validity of right and wrong use of form and correctness.
Pragmatic usage establishes a base for structural stability by installing and stabilizing the relationship of structure and intent of locution and relative of what the utterance means. Because of this discourse patterns violate rules of interactive communication and wield power by control of conversation by gender, class, ethnicity subtexts and meaningful thoughts and implication that relay more than said.
Challenging rules and grammatical format the misconceptions held reflect that various dialects utilize language carelessly and randomly exist and are a prevalent thought uppermost in various communities. But what is reflective of these thought is that although different and unique the meaning has similar value and exchange of same information which would include differing phonological or pronunciations and dialectical differences.
Therefore, establishing a stance of how to approach the releyance and thought of how to teach language is indeed the quest needed. Understanding foremost is that

the creativity of language acquisition requires new formats of learning as well as new approaches. Because socialization is sometimes a problematic area of hindrance, bypassing this area is sometimes enabled by rerouting from original path of cognitive initiation and then revising and re-establishing a new beginning and consequently alters the patterns of acceptance of language acquisition.
Language becomes instead descriptive rather than prescriptive and averts from correct linguistic judgments and nullifies the negative perceptions of how people use language. This view allows power in all interactions and continuance that allows overlaps from society to society and culture to culture. Therefore, hidden nuances, subtexts and implication assumptions and appropriate styles form language and are enabled to use syntax and vocabulary.
As it stands, language is a well-organized, rule-governed structure that has systems, subsystems that are interdependent upon each other. As a language that has an established pattern it allows easy acquisition, assimilation and support readable use by its unconscious adaptation. Further because of this the theory of reciprocity exists and influences thoughts, allows positive reinforcement, molds, develops and shapes language.

Language As We Know It

SVSU – English 370 Responses on:
Language Exploration Awareness What It is
and Why It is
Language As We Know It
Language as we know it consists of the thought of what it is and why it is. Based on this the first consideration or theory of thought is that sound or the issue of sound that has been constructively evolved to words has to be acknowledged as the beginning point. Also, because it involves sound it is one of the bases for communication and is labeled as the scientific study called linguistics. Human language involves the properties of thousands of languages that are sometimes immersed between others by the use of encoded media which is a segment of an auditory apparatus, visual and tactile stimuli, and includes graphic writing, Braille or whistling. These properties are allowable because they are modality – interdependent and involve the cognitive ability and development that is reflective of verbal behavior channeled by evolution of thought to thought then language. Reflective of this point is that language and cognizance is separable but interdependent and is of a required nature of mutually supportive ability.
Further both language and cognizance are supportive of each other and are viewed as indeed the vehicle of thought which in fact require a continual learning pattern that is automatically established and allows the growth of language that entails that scholars first uses theoretical or psycholinguistics models of language

learning to establish and support the learning of language to understand, acquire and produce acceptable patterns of sound.
How do these sounds evolve into language that would be conceivably classified as mentally, cognitive and psychologically acceptable sound pattern with meaning attached. As established would these structural based sounds have meaningful patterns and word sentence structure to be used as a given language of communication? As a pattern of spoken language there are of course two approaches: prescriptive and descriptive approach. The prescriptive approach involves the laying down of rules of a language and usages of interactive words in sentence structure which subsequently leads to language as we know it. The descriptive approach is more of an exploratory venture in language and the function it serves both as a preserver of the united sounds, words, sentence structural basis with meaning and the eventual composition of all to form language.
Both approaches are of course an aspect of linguistic and conceptability of merged vocal ability and verbal and serves as an additional stabilizer of the further evolution of language. Another approach is the traditional language study that is based not on the descriptive, prescriptive approach but is a study or approach that emphasizes not meaning but structure. Further based on this it is meaning and words that establishes the fluctuations and changes in language.

Values of a social worker are at its extreme a demanding and caring endeavor. As a profession the area
of social work correlates to my own interest and care for people and helps me monitor my input as a
caring citizen. This field is progressively changing and evolving to accommodate the varying interaction
of diverse cultures in today’s society. Further, my values and social worker values are similar and that is
to find a rapport with the at-risk population and intermingle my experience as a person who has
progressively sought ways to help those in need and find ways to assist and focus them in the right
direction.
Assisting troubled and victimized people is the highlight of each social worker’s life and that includes
being empathetic and proceed on a non-ending mission to right some of the wrongs in a person’s life.
My goal and others is to train and be able to put myself in other’s shoes and work and strive toward
helping clients.
As a fellow human being it is my responsibility and a value of mine and social workers to help keep the
dignity, meaningfulness, self-respect, personal fulfillment that every person is entitled to. Becoming the
champion of the hurt, needy, victimized, vulnerable and oppressed is a value and goal of mine and of
social workers and also be the voice to help them be heard and protected.
Because there are so many oppressed, at-risk and disempowered populations in distress the value of
them as a people is of utmost importance and it is necessary to not be prejudicial, discriminatory and
not be selfish but selfness during the quest or venture to right a wrong and continue on a mission to
enhance human well-being and help meet the basic, necessary human needs of all people.

Underground Railroad

Underground Railroad
Felicia McCaw
Page 1
I am interested in this non-profit organization serving all the residents of the County of Saginaw because it helps all victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking and I wanted to find out more information about it due to curiosity. It has been in operation since 1977 and is the only provider of emergency shelter, services, leadership and programs to end domestic and sexual violence in the community.
Further, domestic violence does not discriminate it can happen to anybody in any race, religion and economic group. While participating and trying to obtain my volunteer hours with this organization I was assigned to work at the Thrift Store (Under the Rainbow) because I did not want to go into the inner confines of the Underground Railroad until I received more training.
I was treated fairly and worked there 3 hours sorting and organizing blankets, quilts and sheets but due to back pain and not having enough monies to continue traveling there and after my being excused from this obligation I ceased working at the Thrift Store. But I was able to find out a lot information about the services that they provide, e.g., The mission of the Underground Railroad and that is to provide services for survivors of domestic violence, stalking and sexual assault, their leadership role for eliminating violence against women within our community, their commitment to maintain adequate facilities, staffing, equipment and resources to support programs to continue to assist, their further commitment to diversify and expand funding sources to enable the corporation to adapt to the changing political and economic environments and goal to enhance and expand community understanding and support for their mission.
What strikes me as most significant is the knowledge that domestic violence and sexual assault are damaging to the victimized and society as a whole and that this violence is rooted in our social structure and produces significant inequities in roles, relationship, resources, and power between women, men, and children. Further, it has to be acknowledged that domestic violence and sexual assault is criminal conduct which will not be tolerated and that prevention through education, advocacy and appropriate intervention is the ultimate goal. Furthermore, all victims should be provided with sanctuary (safety) and must be treated with dignity and respect and help should be provided to empower the victims and

seek social change which addresses the existing imbalance of power within violent relationships. Counseling should be recommended to assist in making informed choices for themselves and their children to provide safety, information about domestic violence, available options, and community resources and to this end the Underground Railroad will be there to provide leadership in this community on issues affecting survivors and be accountable to survivors.
The history of the Underground Railroad is unique because an attorney from Legal Services of Eastern Michigan, Barbara Klimaszewski, identified a need for emergency shelter for battered women and their children in 1976 because there were no specific statutes in the State of Michigan pertaining to spouse abuse, which left the victims of domestic violence without protection and little recourse for any legal intervention. The solution to this quandary became readily apparent that the only means for protection for these women and their children was to flee their residence and seek temporary shelter. Fortunately, for this county a group of women from the Saginaw area formed a group called the Feminists United for Social Equality and proceeded to establish the Underground Railroad, a private non-profit corporation “to provide and operate a shelter for battered women and their children.”
Elected to help this shelter (Underground Railroad) operate is the board of directors which consists of four officers and five assistants to help in the everyday operations. Their duties is to expand the knowledge of the Underground Railroad and ensure new policy is elected and enforced and for the year of 2010 a new program was enacted “Advocates for Change Society” which was launched in May to build a self-sustaining giving program of loyal, long-term supporters who are committed to the Underground Railroad Mission.
Some of the services they provide is hotline for crisis and support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year providing callers with intervention, support, understanding and information and referrals as necessary, emergency shelter is offered to females with children, adult male victims and transgender victims who are in imminent danger, advocacy-counseling and support groups, court support and legal assistance, housing assistance for survivors, youth advocacy and childcare, secondary survivor services,safe place supervised visitation and safe exchange, prevention education programs, community awareness presentations, and collaborative programs.

I am interested in this non-profit organization serving all the residents of the County of Saginaw because it helps all victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking and I wanted to find out more information about it due to curiosity. It has been in operation since 1977 and is the only provider of emergency shelter, services, leadership and programs to end domestic and sexual violence in the community.
Further, domestic violence does not discriminate it can happen to anybody in any race, religion and economic group. While participating and trying to obtain my volunteer hours with this organization I was assigned to work at the Thrift Store (Under the Rainbow) because I did not want to go into the inner confines of the Underground Railroad until I received more training.
I was treated fairly and worked there 3 hours sorting and organizing blankets, quilts and sheets but due to back pain and not having enough monies to continue traveling there and after my being excused from this obligation I ceased working at the Thrift Store. But I was able to find out a lot information about the services that they provide, e.g., The mission of the Underground Railroad and that is to provide services for survivors of domestic violence, stalking and sexual assault, their leadership role for eliminating violence against women within our community, their commitment to maintain adequate facilities, staffing, equipment and resources to support programs to continue to assist, their further commitment to diversify and expand funding sources to enable the corporation to adapt to the changing political and economic environments and goal to enhance and expand community understanding and support for their mission.
What strikes me as most significant is the knowledge that domestic violence and sexual assault are damaging to the victimized and society as a whole and that this violence is rooted in our social structure and produces significant inequities in roles, relationship, resources, and power between women, men, and children. Further, it has to be acknowledged that domestic violence and sexual assault is criminal conduct which will not be tolerated and that prevention through education, advocacy and appropriate intervention is the ultimate goal. Furthermore, all victims should be provided with sanctuary (safety) and must be treated with dignity and respect and help should be provided to empower the victims and
