Yeah, I told him 33% but he said that wasn't right.

then ask him why. 30% is 1/3 of 90...why wouldnt it be 33.33%? unless you do: Q=.9P/.3= 3..which does not make sense.. Q =/= 300% of P...

That does make sense, just divide the 0.9P by the 0.3 which gives you 3P=Q therefore Q is 300% of P.

JESUS !! soooo many numbers, i really hate math and stuff ... geez

Lol, uh whaaat?
I'm 13 so I don't get it.

The answer to the Percentage problem is 300%, but I didnt know why.

omg my brains gonna like explode jesus
i hate math with a passion

maybe because 90% of X is 3 times greater than 30% of X....

yeah...

step 1:
.3Q=.9P

step 2:

Q=.9P/.3

deademery did a good job of explaining it. the only reason the problem was tricky was because of the wording.

"what percent of Q is from P?" one could say Q is 33.33% of P, but not "from."

if it doesnt make sense, do the math...it proves it all.

Social Homework...

I need some ideas and case studies supporting the topic;

"To what extent should technologically advanced nations dominate those who are lesser developed?"

I can't think of anything, help please.

just look at what the united nation has done for small countries, and then look where the united states has taken it. I would probably just go with we should send aid in the form of food and fundig, but we shouldn't interfer with the government without a majority of the people asking for it.

I'm taking an International Business course, so I just sifted through my homework and found some points that might be useful:


Advantages:

· brings new technology and development in knowledge transfer
· creates jobs
· introduces higher wages and labor standards
· could possibly introduce newer, cleaner technologies that protect the environment



Disadvantages:

· direct abuse of human rights
· environmental and social abuses
· abusive child labor
· pollution or the violation of labor rights

HELP ME!!

i have to write an essay on whether or not the media is a positive or negative influence the the democratization of the world.

so far this is what i got:
In today’s world, the media seems to be a large influence on this generation’s culture. The media informs us on everything from world issues, to scientific discoveries, to Tom Cruise’s next motion picture. But does the media help to democratize the world? No, the media is a negative force for democratising the world.
Although it is possible for the media to be a positive force for democratizing the world, our media today is anything but. For a true democracy to occur, every voting citizen would have to be one hundred percent informed, and know exactly what each candidate stands for so they can make an educated vote. But media today focuses more on bashing campaigns, and most citizens don’t even know the candidates entire platform.
The majority of media these days tends to focus more on entertainment than politics. Flipping through the channels it is easy to see that the most played shows are sitcoms, celebrity gossip shows, and “reality” TV. Media is telling people these days that

My essay I wrote a few months ago on media:




Media is an important social phenomenon that looms over the world as it influences billions of individuals globally. Consumers are bombarded with daily doses of multiple forms of media, which has eventually affected individualism and society as a whole. Nonetheless, this is the media's intended approach. In order to manipulate society, they know that the mind of a consumer can be changed, and their opinions can be molded. Various forms of media exist in order to successfully deliver a message that will leave an imprint in the consumer's mind. One of the most influential forms of media is music, which holds the power to alter a person's identity. Movies - another form of media - are partially held accountable for the increase in violence and aggression that are displayed among all ages. However, advertisements and logos seem to have the most evident effect as they cause an individual to change their attitude towards themselves, friends, and affect the way they think. Media uses a variety of appealing approaches to enforce a strong influence on society, thus affecting the world's consumption, economic activities, life-styles, and values.

One of the most influential forms of media is music, which holds the power to alter a person's identity. Music has the ability to create a significant impact on a person's life - varying from the phase of "finding one's self," to helping one get through a rough encounter. It is believed that a person becomes what they listen to, most commonly referring to certain moods that are associated with different types of music. Not only does music have the power to change a person's mood, but it can also influence their style. It is possible to distinctly notice the similarities in people with the same music taste. For example, some of the hardcore, rock, and metal genre represented by blunt and depressing lyrics, are generally found among the "gothic," "emo," or "punk" communities, who usually tend to a darker and rebellious self-appearance. In addition to being a physical influence, music also holds the power to calm and revitalize, thus contradicting its' other ability to accumulate enough energy and spirit to tempt a person to dance. As a result of its versatility in many aspects, music has been called "The International Language." Even when people cannot speak the language of a country, they can still share the appreciation for the music, as humans are capable of recognizing and understanding the beauty of it. Once a person has been exposed to music, it will forever become a part of their soul.

Movies - another form of media - are partially held accountable for the increase in violence and aggression that are displayed among all ages. Violence has always played a role in entertainment, but in recent years, there has been a growing consensus that an aspect of media violence has changed. First of all, studies have found that between 1993 and 2001, incidents of physical violence had increased by 378 per cent. Secondly, researchers also identified a disturbing increase in psychological violence, especially from 1999 to 2001, where incidents increased by 325 per cent. Along with increasing in quantity, media violence has also become much more graphic, sexual, and sadistic. Explicit pictures of slow motion bullets exploding from people's chests, and dead bodies surrounded by pools of blood, are desensitizing people to violence. The use of violence as a mean to solve problems is glorified by entertainment in which both villains and heroes resort to violence on a continual basis, thus causing children to inappropriately think that violence is necessary to cope with difficult situations. When researchers observed children during their play after watching a violent cartoon, they noticed that these children were much more likely to hit other children, break toys, and express similar aggressive behaviors as to what they had watched. This exposure to media violence has also confirmed that children are more likely to tolerate aggressive behavior in the real world and have less sympathy for its victims, as well as being the ones to inflict the violence. Overall, violence is simply being presented as justifiable, natural, and inevitable - influencing society for the worst.

However, advertisements and logos seem to have the most evident effect as they cause an individual to change their attitude towards themselves, friends, and affect the way they think. A survey was conducted by researchers and 78% of the people surveyed felt that the media had influenced their life, but the truth has rested that everyone is influenced by media in some way. Advertisements and logos are everywhere - clothing, TV commercials, the Internet, shop windows, and more. These companies know that attitudes towards a brand are not set in a consumer's mind after one commercial or purchase, and therefore, shaping attitudes often takes a considerable amount of time. Society is constantly bombarded with ads, billboards, and magazines that display individuals who look "perfect", thus affecting a person's positive thoughts on their own image. No matter how diverse a society is, the surrounding reality is often blocked out by the false reality portrayed in the media. It is human nature to succumb to the pressures that their lives would be that much better if they use the latest beauty product or go on a great new diet. Nonetheless, these attacks by the media aim to lower the consumer's self-esteem in order to influence them to buy their products. Humans only have so much mental defense before the media wins the game of the mind, for people remember commercials and buy their products; they see random catalogs and buy their books and toys; they watch movie ads and find themselves at the movie theater a week later; all the while, thinking about that advertisement that they had seen. Media in the form of advertisement is strong - and often too strong for anyone to completely ignore.

Media uses a variety of appealing forms to enforce a strong influence on society, thus affecting the world's consumption, economic activities, life-styles, and values. One of the most influential forms of media is music, where it has successfully conquered a person's identity, as it becomes a necessity of life. Violence in movies is being presented as justifiable, natural, and inevitable, which is partially held accountable for the increase in violence and aggression that are displayed among all ages. The advertisements and logos seem to have the strongest and most evident effect as they often influence an individual's life through their attitudes. It is almost impossible for anyone to completely ignore the media, since it has now risen to a new level and became a part of pop culture. Thus, it is important that a person can be versatile with their music, to understand that most movies are strictly made for entertainment purposes, and to learn to accept themselves and love their own skin. Media does not have to take control over an individual's lifestyle, if the individual choose not to allow it.

I need help. I have an english paper, and the assignment is to ask a question. For example, someone did a paper on "Fire: Good or Bad?" about wildfires. You have to add some sort of personal story, and have a couple references. That stuff I can do myself, but I am having such a hard time figuring out a question. At first someone gave me the idea to do a question about sleepwalking, or smoking bans. But that kind of fell through, so now I am recruiting you Smoshers to GIVE ME A QUESTION! Pleeeease?

that is somewhat open ended, if you want a question that doesn't have an answear so your teacher can't take points off go with somthing relgious like

is relgion a positve influence on the world?
or
just go to the political forum and get a question out of there. Such as concealed weapons.

Haha thanks. Actually the religion question is a good idea, there are always things I can use with that.

Okay, for homework, we have to write to the county about some bridge about to collapse.

Dear Kauai County Council Members,
My name is Noelani Murray, I’m a 6th grader at CKMS. I am born and raised on Kauai. I’m not local on the outside, but local in the inside, if you know what I mean.
In my English class, we were working on finding the Who What When Where Why and How (including, source, title, ect.) Later after that, my teacher, Mrs. Chow, Showed us an article she found in the newspaper, about Kapaia Bridge in SERIOUS damage. I think it should be fixed, 4 out of 28 students in my class have been on the Kapaia Bridge, now that it in this damage, the bridge is off-limits. Wouldn’t it be nice if the bridge went under construction to fix the bridge? That way the other 24 kids in my class could have an opportunity to visit the bridge. Also, that bridge is major history, maybe not to me, but a large amount of others on Kauai. I heard the bridge was used as transportation years ago, to the people who migrated to Kauai in the 1900’s. Though I do not have any ancestry to that bridge, I do not think of myself, but I think for the Filipinos, Japanese, Chinese, and other locals on our island.
If you could use some of the county’s money to do construction on the bridge, I’m sure everyone would give a big “Mahalo!”. Can you do some kind of fundraiser to get the money? Possibly you could set up a marathon to raise money. Raising taxes? (Last idea PLEASE.) Thank you VERY much for your time.

Mahalo,
Noelani Murray

Aww, Spaargh, you have a pretty name. (Not being stalkish)

Thank you ;o

Bridge bridge bridge bridge bridge...

Anyway, thanks everyone who gave me some ideas, but I'm still lost, haha. I just can't think of anything to look up that would be relevent to this. I mean there are obivous ones like Afghanistan and Iraq, but I don't know how I'd look them up to match this topic. Stupid Social essays...

Could you read my book for me and write a 100 word essay about why I liked the book?
(truthfully I hated the book)

umm just go to sparknotes.com, it tells you everything about the book...it might be on there. who knows.
and 100 words is nothing.
if the book isn't on sparknotes just google the book and you can read other peoples reviews in it.

I have to do a report on canada for french class, I need pictures of canada and some cool facts and stuff about canada.

Canada, oh snap! That would be me. Give me the criteria!

Okay, sorry for not being more helpful and stuff to you, but I will be ETERNALLY in your debt if you offer wise words on these:

Equable shapes.

I'm coming unstuck. Basically, they are shapes with the same perimeter and area, if you didn't already know.

For example:
Square - 4cm sides
Rectangle - 3 x 6 cm sides
Circle - 2cm radius

... And then I explode from overthought. I've attempted regular hexagons, triangles and octogons, but it's all so very complicated...

i can totally canada you up i have some pics of the citadel hill in NOVA SCOTIA like omg that would totally put you in first place

i just had to write a paper on coffin-lowry syndrome. it sucked...

just kidding tehehe

HAHAHAHA
What's that?
Like first grade math, hahahahahahah

you're pathetic<3

yes lol!!!!

Ooh, I had Physical Science last year and I had to do similar problems like this.

lead has a density of 10g.cm-3 and glass 2.5g.cm-3. 100cm3 blocks of each of these 2 materials is acted upon by a force of 2000N.

for each of these two blocks calculate:

(a) the mass of each 100cm3 block, lead and glass, in (i) g, and (ii) Kg

( usingthe expression F=MxA, calculate the acceleration for each block

AH! I despise physics. Sorry.



Has anyone read the DaVinci Code, and had to write a report on it?

I have to write a whole booklet on science stuff.

Someone tell me what thy definition of chemical properties is pls ;o

a property used to characterize materials in reactions that change their identity

Thanks nig
