My Love for Volleyball             Sports are more inclined to the pursuance of an individual’s passion and forcing one to like a sport may be difficult. Persuasion may, however, work towards changing an individual’s perspective. My love for volleyball can be traced back to persuasion from my mother, who might probably have had prior knowledge of the pleasure and joy that comes with volleyball. I had not developed an interest in volleyball despite playing it with my young siblings since a young age, and I had only taken it as an informal sport for keeping kids entertained.  My perspective has, however, changed over the years, and my love for volleyball is unshakable. My love for volleyball is based on the fact that it is my hobby and that I have mastered its rules over the years; thus, I have less or no difficulties while playing. Most people have at least a hobby that takes their time when they some time to pass. One’s hobby tends to be what they love most. My hobby has happened to be volleyball, although that…

  The Relationship between Advertisers and Media Corporations In the modern day, media corporations include televisions, radio, newspaper, and digital platforms, among others. Advertisers depend on these entities to reach the market segments of the companies that have contracted them. This paper argues that the relationship between advertisers and media corporations is beneficial to both parties, and it does not result in biased reporting. Media corporations make money from direct or indirect sources. A significant amount of direct revenues received by media corporations can be attributed to money coming from advertisements. According to The Atlantic, sponsored content accounts for 50% of the company’s digital revenue stream (Pulizzi). The other media corporation that makes money through advertisements is Forbes. For instance, large companies, including SAP, pay Forbes a monthly fee for a chance to publish their content on its platform. The money paid to Forbes may go beyond $ 75,000 per month (Pulizzi). Also, owners of various television stations make huge amounts of money by airing content sponsored by various advertisers. Over the recent past, companies have been paying huge amounts of…

Oak Creek Massacre Events of the terrorist attack during 9/11 appear to have fuelled racism, specifically among the minorities in the United States. Subsequently, the U.S. government implemented a series of response mechanisms designed to counter and curb future terrorism activities. While not explicitly mentioned in their official documents, such policies unfairly targeted Arabs, South Asians, and Muslims in America. Consequently, the policies destroyed the trust of the cooperative communities in the country. It suddenly became permissible for law enforcement authorities to mistreat religious groups and racial minorities unfairly. The history of radicalization in America began with the rise of white supremacist groups. A history of racially-entitled groups of the Klu Klax Klan and the Nazis indicates racial intolerance is a grave problem in America. While the racial prejudice in America explains the violet trends in several groups of people in the country, it does not justify the killings and specific targeting of minority religious groups. Oak Creek Massacre The Oak Creek Massacre is an example of mass killings that were motivated by racial hatred. The tragedy occurred at the…

The gastrointestinal tract is majorly a series of organs that are connected in the form of a long and twisted tube, starting from the mouth to the anus (Denbow, 2015). The organs making up the GI tract include stomach, esophagus, mouth, large intestine, small intestine, and anus. The gallbladder, pancreas, and liver are considered solid organs of the system.

The appendix is a small pouch with the shape of a finger, and it is connected to the cecum. The gastrointestinal tract also has some bacteria, known as the microbiome…

high School athletes should play multiple sports to reduce the challenges associated with sport specialization Participating in sports is a vital element in the life of students while in high school. Sports occur outside the class but supplement or reinforce learning activities in the same way. Sporting activities allow the students to refresh their minds after busy academic sessions. Sports provide high school students with a lot of essential and interesting experiences outside the class. They facilitate the recognition of the talents and strengths of the students outside academics. Also, sports are critical since they allow the students to develop good organization and time management skills as they are required to balance their time between sports and academics.

Some high school students have sport specialization whereby they only participate in one sport while other athletes participate in various sports in their high school life.
