Does this kind of statement make men feel insulted?

December 8, 2010 - 7:51 pm 9 Comments

I read answers about how men "don’t bond as much as women" through sex. If I was a man, I’d be sickened by such a statement.

Despite different levels of hormones, I think men and women enjoy sex equally & bond equally. What do you think?

it has to do with the mind frame of the person. Its has nothing do with gender the person who wrote the article is unintelligent.

What is the difference between a College Personal Statement and College Admissions Essays?

December 6, 2010 - 6:27 pm 2 Comments

Are they the same thing? If a college asked for the admissions essay, do we also have to give in the Personal Statement?

I asked in the higher education section and they were being smart@sses. Can I please get a thorough answer?
Can’t you guys just help me out? I think I know the difference, but I dont want to make a mistake.

A college personal statement is about you and your goals in college and for your life whereas an admissions essay can be many different topics. Here is some info that has tips and different topics for an admissions essay:

Do you know a company that has a mission statement? If so, what is the company?

Most publically traded companies have mission statements that are published in their Annual Reports.

What type of information should a personal statement include?

I have been suffering from a major writer’s block and have no idea how to start my personal statement. I have to write 1 page as part of my college application. If I don’t mail it tomorrow it won’t get there in time, please help, how should it start? I don’t want to say "I was born in blahblahblah town in blahblahblah year" BORING! What should I write?????????????????????????????????????????? any ideas?

You are right, you dont want to start off with a cliche statement….try to make it creative. I am actually doing the same thing that you are doing right now lol. Still working on it. But usually colleges want to see how you are as a person (your personality, creativity, and how much potential you have to succeed at their school).

Think about what your major is going to be…and talk about that. Talk about what you have done in the past, what skills and abilities you have acquired and how you are going to use those in your major/in college. Talk about any jobs you have had or any extracurricular activities/volunteer work you have done. Evaluate those experiences and tell what you learned from them. Hope that helps!

"Breast feeding is best for babies, but is it best for mother as well?"
it helps take off weight. but sometimes it can be a hassle so cover all those topics and then in your closing statement state why no matter what it is best or not best…

What is a good opening statement defending civil liberties for a debate?

November 20, 2010 - 3:03 pm 1 Comment

I am doing a debate project and i need an opening statement defending civil liberties. Please help asap
We have researched our topic and have a pretty good understanding of it. we were just wondering what are some of the important must have points that should be found in the opening statement.

A good opening statement is one that captures the beliefs and the convictions of its author. I don’t believe you have to look very far to find a good argument for civil liberties. Perhaps the real question is, " What is a good opening statement opposing civil liberties?". But, one thing is for sure, a "good" opening statement probably won’t be the one you write. More likely than not it will come from someone that you will "borrow" it from. In short, do some research and do your own project.
