Abstract
This paper analyzes how metaphors go through every form of communication in daily life. Since everything from politics, to science, to internet based research, entertainment, to speaking day to day with friends, neighbors and academic professionals involve spoken or written communication, metaphors permeate every facet of our lives.

From the Paper
"Metaphors go through every form of communication in daily life. Since everything from politics, to science, to internet based research, entertainment, to speaking day to day with friends, neighbors and academic professionals involve spoken or written communication, metaphors permeate every facet of our lives. With that being the case, we need to understand them, and that is the purpose behind this paper, Metaphors in Daily Life. This paper looks at definitions of metaphors, if any exist, their usefulness or lack thereof..."

Abstract
This paper discusses where one can find a policy basis for federal dietary guidance and for shaping nutrition education. It looks at and discusses various guidelines that have been set down with regards to daily nutritional intake. The writer then analyzes his own daily dietary intake and compares it to the recommended daily nutritional intake.

From the Paper
"There is no RDA for fiber at this time. The average consumption in industrial nations is 15 grams per day, which helps in a number of ways to keep the dietary tract healthy. Fiber also helps fight obesity and decreases the level of cholesterol in the body. It helps stabilize glucose concentration in the blood and can purify the body of toxins and heavy metals. However, high dietary fiber can reduce the effectiveness of some medicines. It may also restrict the absorption of nutrients such as iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and calcium (What is dietary fiber [fibre] and its role in nutrition, 2007, Sections 1-2)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that one's daily nutrition is an important part of maintaining personal health and well being. Nutrition, the science of food, informs our understanding of how we can best achieve optimal health and ward off disease. The writer points out that numerous studies have confirmed that proper nutrition is paramount to achieving excellent health and therefore should be a basic part of all preventative medicine. Unfortunately, eating often has very little to do with dietary needs. The writer maintains that being self aware about one's nutritional needs and dietary habits is an important first step in improving one's overall health and long-term well being. The paper also discusses the writer's personal dietary intake.

From the Paper
"My own feelings about my recorded dietary intake were overall positive. For breakfast I had oatmeal with raisins and coffee with creamer and Sweet 'n Low. Raisins comprised a midmorning snack, followed by a lunch of a grilled chicken salad. Dinner was carrots with a small serving of fish. In addition, I drank roughly 96 ounces of water during the course of the day. The day in question was a fairly ordinary day in my diet as of late, which I found to be especially positive since I exceeded or just barely missed the minimum requirements for all of the categories in the Food Pyramid except for one. Dairy was the only recommended minimum that I completely failed to achieve. Since this dietary intake represents a fairly typical day for me, the implication is that I need to increase my intake of healthy dairy in order to better meet my basic nutritional requirements."

Abstract
This paper examines how the computers, and more specifically the Internet, have become part of our culture and daily lives. First, the paper considers how mobile phones and even email were not part of our routines twenty years ago, further noting how quickly technology changes. Then the paper discusses how most innovation is used to greater enhance communication between people. Next, the paper explores how the Internet will continue to make a large and controversial impact on Academia. Finally the paper addresses the "digital divide" that is being created between those that have computers and internet access and those who do not. The paper concludes by stating that in both subtle and profound ways, our lives have already been drastically changed by computers and the Internet.

From the Paper
"Academia is one area where the Internet will continue to make a large and controversial impact. Having access to such enormous quantities of information means that there are at least as many false or misleading websites as there are reliable ones. According to one study, however, seventy-three percent of college students use the Internet more than a library to conduct research for their courses (Causey 2005). This has led many to fear the increased dumbing-down of the student body, and a decreased ability to tell reliable information from claptrap. Similar fears arose surrounding the printing press, however; when information becomes cheap to disseminate, more and more people will have their say (Causey 2005). In the coming years, not only will Internet control via legislation become more prominent, but skills will develop in the population that enable a greater ability to discern good information."

Abstract
This paper examines how "The Daily Show" is holding its own in the ratings battle between legitimate evening news programs. It looks at how even though the program is dubbed "fake news", studies have shown how its viewers fare well on political quizzes. It also looks at how the program covers a lot of important social and political topics while mixing in a great satirical style of comedy.

From the Paper
"Like any business, Comedy Central exists to earn money. It utilizes The Daily Show and its bevy of other programs as the means for procuring said money. To do so, the programs have to bring in viewers. To have a profitable number of viewers, these programs have to supply entertainment and information with high appeal. If The Daily Show backed off, it would be another harmless comedy program. For savvy young audiences, there is hardly anything fresh and appealing in a show that only strives to get cheap, easy laughs. College students, college graduates who are weeding their way into the world, and even the occasional seasoned adult are being attracted to this program in its efforts to provide relief from compliant journalism. It is ironic that a self-proclaimed "fake news" program is attempting to set an example for its more serious peers. "

Abstract
This paper focuses on the various and varied sources used by Soustelle in his book in which the author provides a multi-perspective account into the daily life of the Aztecs. Soustelle draws upon original source documents from surviving texts and materials. He cites surviving Aztec documents such as the Codex Azcatitlan, Cronica Mexicayotl, and the Mapa Tlotzin; Soustelle also cites numerous Spanish sources written at the time of conquest.

From the Paper
"The Introduction to Daily Life of the Aztecs provides historical context and background to the ideas, issues, and facts Soustelle presents in the book. The author begins by reminding the reader that the Aztecs were only one of many Mexican civilizations that flowered since the third millennium, BCE. Furthermore, Soustelle notes that the Aztecs themselves conquered other cultures on Mexican soil to eventually attain dominance of the region. The area in question is Mexico-Tenochtitlan, or the valley now known as Mexico City. Because Aztec life during the fifteenth century was largely urban in nature, Soustelle is also able to hone in on the specifics of city life. This makes the material extremely accessible to modern readers, who can relate to many of the aspects of daily life depicted in Soustelle's book. The introduction also clarifies the source documents. The Aztecs were dedicated to chronicling their culture, as they were proud and self-conscious people. Their language was a sophisticated set of figurative and phonetic pictographs. Unfortunately, after conquest, most of the Aztec writings were destroyed. The Spaniards, when they first encountered the Aztec people, deemed them immoral savages incapable of producing anything of true worth. Soustelle does a great job of emphasizing the horrendous nature of the conquest, even as he is able to describe some of the more brutal activities the Aztecs themselves engaged in. Soustelle's account is honest but not without opinion"
