DEBATE ANALYSIS ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY (DAAB)
Introduction
Elizabeth, Wardle. “You can learn how to write in general”
This book offers honest insights on the major myths about writing instruction. This book opens us to various arguments meant to create a general debate to a given audience by delivering opinionated and well researched statements so as to create this given objective. Such arguments include the authors need to state that there is no such thing as writing in general. In her own way she states that writing is particular and just because a person can learn one thing about learning it does not necessary mean that it will translate into another subject. This article imposes a new doctrine on how we look at writing in general especially as it pertains to a third party person conversation.
The authors concluding argument is that use of prior knowledge of writing can greatly help an individual be more successful and also become a better reader in new writing situations due to the fact that there`s really no special writing in general since by use of writing is the only proper way a person can write. The author also goes on to state that writing as a whole is greatly influenced by society since they clearly are depicted to be the general audience we convey with. Writing in a grade like manner to achieve a form of tranquility or a system of writing ignores the fact that a writing is meant to be for a particular person and thus is subject to different viewpoints based on the audience in general reading the writing.
Mark, Edmundson. “Who are you and what are you doing here?” August 22, 2011
The book and author in question take a step back to look into the American education system. Seeing just how important the education system is to create an individual who further improves themselves and society as a whole the author laments at just how fragile this system can be. Looking back into his college years the author sees just how fragile the education system can be if not given proper attention. A case example the author uses is just how the college education system focuses more on social status for students rather than a means of the student actually getting educated and learning more on how to better themselves. This form of ignorance in turn leads to student caring less about their grades which in turn leads to teachers and lecturers caring less about student education and performance. The need to do whatever it takes to be successful is another major concern since this will in turn lead to a culture of cheating in school without much care that the main concern of the said institution is to educate the student and help them learn.
The author concludes that going to college and school as a whole is the best choice a person can make. He draws from his own college experience to make us understand and encourage us to find something we enjoy doing if we want to be successful. Distractions are still a constant unavoidable circumstances for kids in school but by finding something one enjoys and then cares about to an extent of learning it is the only key for a person to truly succeed in school. Although he enforces the doctrine of stricter teachers and lecturers and he still emphasizes that if student only do the one thing that they love then school will never at all be difficult for them.
Rebecca, Gulotta Haakon, Faste and Jennifer Mankoff “Curation, provocation and digital identity: risks and motivations for sharing provocative images online,” May 2012
By using interviews in general the author in have delved into a kind of focus on this study to greatly identify why people in general feel a need to share provocative aspects of their lives and the general consequences they may suffer from doing so. From a need of instant gratification to a kind of need to feel valued by society the researchers have seen that momentarily needs of being judged by others have been the underlying cause for such need to share provocative and curative photos of oneself. The key and major reasoning for this research was to find out how people conceptualize their digital rights and their key motivations for putting their photos online and thus their expectations and the perceived risk in doing so.
Although the studies aim was to find just how expressly people feel about sharing a large part of their private lives to others online it was also able to come up with a few suggestions on how we could protect said people from harm. By encouraging growth and development of photo sharing sites we will effectively find a way to ensure that people privacy is protected and they in turn feel free to do as they please with their photos and privacy. The development of systems that are sensitive to user’s concerns was also another major point since this will equip users with the necessary tools to make informed decisions of just how their content is shared online.
Jennifer, Owen and Kate, Boyer. “Holding on to childhood things: storage, emotion, and curation of children`s material biographies” 2019
The keep focus on this article in general is to study just how parents and children relate to each other in regards to material things. The study looks at the young children in the UK in regards to further understand more about this study. The key focus was on how handling such material goods for their children helped the parents greatly get over feelings of nostalgia while they accepted their children’s eventual move into adulthood and away both physically and emotionally from their guardians. Taking a sample group of eight middle income parents in the UK a key argument emerged that greatly. This argument showed that the parents willingness to handle their children`s material possession after they were gone helped them to gradually transition into a kind of understanding of their children`s eventual maturity into adulthood. This practice offers the parents a material-emotional grounding since they give a sense of security due to a fear of uncertainty about the future especially in the context of housing markets for their children.
This article in general creates an amazing way for parents to think about the eventual future of adulthood for their children. Although it focuses purely and entirely on the parents it greatly helps children become considerate on just hard it is for their parents to eventually accept the situation and in turn try and help them in the eventual situation they have to mature to adulthood and thus leave their parents.

Contracting
Parol evidence rule is a rule that states that when a writing in on paper for a contract or an agreement there can never at any instance be received or accepted oral or outside evidence towards the contract as to claim a different intent of the contract. This is a very important part of contracting laws which is available in the Anglo-American common law. Its importance is that a party will not be able to bring in their frustrations or issues which may arise during the contract process as a way to waiver from the initial agreement and make the contract not binding. Therefore with this rule, a party is constrained in terms of what they can make of the contract in the future. It also gives a person the ability to think through all possible instances and includes them in the contract thus avoiding being faced with a difficult situation as a result of the inability to change what the contract stated.
MCC v Storer is a case in which the rules of a contract were not upheld as MCC did not specify that there was an exchange of contracts and therefore according to the court of justice the issue of the contract was unnecessary because the client had just not put the date. However, if the MCC could have specifically stated that there was an exchange of contracts and that the purchase was only to happen within the limits of the contracts then it means that Storer would have lost the case because of the date which had not been written. Therefore contracts are an important part of any agreement and it is good to be clear about their inclusivity. In trying to make contracts and avoid the issue of or an instance like that faced MCC I would make sure to ask if there is a contract or its just agreement as well as the terms and conditions.

Introduction
Life is the most precious gift we have as human beings; it is through the life that we poses that we get to experience all the wonders of the world. Life is also full of hardships in that everyone is prone to be faced with some sort of challenges that vary in one way or another. Life occurs in different stages which are determined by the biological structure of our bodies. Life begins when a sperm fertilizes a female egg in the ovary; this is followed with the birth of a human being. When a human being is born, they are armed with are with an immune system that helps defend the body when it comes under threat. All human beings are thus faced with the fact that they will die one day. Despite the fact that as human beings, we do not have the quality of immortality, we are tasked with the duty of preserving our human race through the maintenance of our health (Boerre, 2006).
Death can be caused by many factors some of which have proved to be inevitable. Human beings are thus at the mercy or fate of the superior being they believe in terms of protection. Human beings can also prolong their life through the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle which in turn has been known to improve the sustainability of the bodies. The loss of a loved one is one of the hardest experienced to deal with. One does not have to experience loss to feel the pain a person undergoing grief is going through. This is brought about by the quality we have as human beings that makes us vulnerable to our emotions (Family Education Network, 2010).
This research paper focuses on the deathograghy of my grandfather. It looks at the ways in which the death of my grandfather affected me as a child. It father looks at the ways in which human beings deal with death in terms of ours vulnerability to the factor.
The experienced of the loss of a loved one is a stage that we all have to go through as human beings. This involves dealing with the fact that humans cannot resurrect from death and can only be missed by their loved ones. There are many causes of death as stated earlier. The cause of a person’s death influences the way in which human beings approaches grieving. If a loved one dies a sudden and an unexpected death, the family and friends have a harder time dealing with their death in that they were not emotionally prepared for the loss of the individual. If a person has undergone a lifetime of suffering due to the condition that they were faced with, the family and friends may have an easier time adapting to the possibility of their death.
Another factor that influences the reaction to the death of a loved one is the age of the diseased. If a person loses their life at a young age, it is hard for the friends and family to cope with the loss due to the question of what could have become of the individual if they were to live a full life. If a person loses their life at an older age, they leave their relatives with memories that can be in form of a legacy which cushions the pain. Despite these factors, dealing with the loss of a loved one is never easy. Human beings have feelings which on many occasions are uncontrollable. One thus has to be given time to grieve so that they can move to the next stage which is the acceptance of death (Orbach, Gross, Glaubman, 2006).
The experience of the death of a loved one at a young age affects the way we view life in terms of positivity or negativity. As children, we are brought up in a world where our parents protect us from the evils of the world. This protection can only go on for a period of time in that there comes a time in our life where we have to face the reality. I was only seven years when I lost my grandfather. This occurred several years ago but the memories are still fresh in my mind. My grandfather was a big part of my life. My parents ensured that we had a personal relationship at a young age. The relationship between a grandparent and a grandchild is different from the relationship between a parent and a child. Parents always nag their children to give them grandchildren so that they can spoil them silly. This is one of the perks of being a senior member of the society. My grandfather and I were inseparable, his main aim was to teach me all the lessons he taught my father as a child. Our connection was thus important for my growth and development. These memories that I carry of him have influenced the way I approach certain situations to date (MedicineNet.Com, 2004).
Personal experience (deathology) of the loss of my grandfather
My grandfather was just like any regular elderly person. He was full of wisdom and was always slow but sure of the things he spoke about. My grandfather had also been battling with conditions that were caused as result of the old age. These conditions ranged from the inability of his cognitive ability to compute various facts at a faster pace. He was also prone to being attacked by high blood pressure and arthritis which affected the immune system of his body. Before his death, my grandfather had shown signs of a potential heart attack due to his weak state. The experience of his suffering made me aware that there was something wrong that I could not get around to. I thus developed some sort of fear in preparation of worse circumstances that were to follow. This shows that young people can detect when there is a problem in a household.
One day after I had taken a visit to my grandfather’s house, I carried out my daily activities that I took on with him. When it was time to go back home with my parents, I said goodbye. This goodbye was however different from the others in that it was long in nature. It may have been a symbol that I should maximize on the little time I had left with him. The look in his eyes indicated that he was going to miss me before I had left his house. When I reached home, I went to bed and work up with my parents standing next to my bed. This time they were not filled with the usual happy faces they woke me up with in the morning. At this point, I could tell that something was wrong compared to the previous times he fell sick. My parents thus changed their tone and told me to sit down. This was shocking due to the fact that I was already sitting down. My dad then started telling me a story on how sometimes people live their homes to go to a better place. I then cut his story short by demanding to know what was really wrong. They then told me that my beloved grandfather had passed away five hours after I had left his house. I immediately went into a state of shock that was accompanied with a lot of screaming seeing that I was a child. I was not familiar with the concept of death at this age, what made me react this way was the fact that I knew that he was not coming back again. This was made possible by the story my father told me about my grandfather going to heaven.
Research shows that there are various stages of reaction to the death of a loved one. The first stage is denial where we go into a state that makes us think what is happening is not real or just a dream (Koocher, 2002). I then told myself that everything was going to be okay, this was accompanied with the thoughts I had of meeting him the next time I go to visit.
The second stage one goes through after the loss of a loved one is the grief stage. This involves dealing with the situation by recognizing that a loved one will not be coming back. This is accompanied by the shedding of tears due to the intensity of the pain that a mourner has. The time it takes for a person to grieve varies with the person, the cause of death, the age of the diseased and lastly the support of the friends and family of an individual (Hois, 2001). When I realized that my grandfather was really gone, I cried for about a week remembering all the precious time we spent together. This was a very difficult time for me due to the fact that I was a child who was used to getting what I wanted. Learning that I could not get everything I wanted was a new experience for me in that I knew that I would have to face other challenges in life. Another factor that I dealt with was the realization that my parents and siblings were not going to be around forever as I had imagined. This opened doors for a new source of fear which I later termed the fear of the unexpected (Sengendo & Nambi, 2001).
The last stage in dealing with the loss of a loved one is the acceptance of the death. This involves accepting the reality of the situation at hand. It also involves a deeper appreciation of the loved one and the value they brought to your life. This also involves moving forward as a human being and looking forward to the positive things life brings (Souza & Klein, 2001). I took two weeks to accept that my grandfather was gone forever. This acceptance was not complete in that I would occasionally breakdown when I remembered him. Accepting the death of my grandfather also meant that I had become a more mature person despite being only seven yours old. I could thus approach the difficult situations in life with more maturity due to the hard time I had gone through.
The loss of a loved one affects the immediate friends and family for the worst or on some occasions the better. Some children have been known to blame themselves for a death of a loved one in that they are suspicious at a young age. This type of situation is not ideal for the health of a child in that it affects the proper development of the child in terms of self esteem and confidence. It also makes a child approach all the difficulties they come across in their lives with a negative point of view as opposed to being positive. Children who have lost loved ones at an early age tend to act out more often than not due to the constant need of attention from the people who surround them. It is thus important to ensure that the proper stages of grieving are followed though the use of counseling from the family or a professional (Boerre, 2006).
Conclusion
Death is inevitable to all the living things that walk on the face of this earth. Human beings are therefore tasked with the responsibility of living a healthy and full lifestyle. This involves being positive even though one is faced with hardships. One of the ways that makes the acceptance of the death of a person easier is the knowing that the person was happy and enjoyed their life to the fullest. Another way that human beings can go about this situation is the appreciation for the life they still have due to the fact that it is not a permanent gift.
