One of the more controversial topics for students at this community college is the cost of textbooks. Textbooks are written for

many reasons, not the least of which is the publisher royalties that are paid to the author(s). Publishers are eager to enforce "fair use" laws that prohibit students from copying materials offered in a given text. Discuss your interpretation of the fair use laws and how you think they relate to students. Are they fair? Also consider how you would interpret the laws if you were the author.

Answer:

A fair use is a copying of copyrighted material without permission from the copyright ower for a limited and “transformative” purpose, such as quoting a few lines from a song for a music review or summizing from a medical article for use by a teacher in a lesson.  

This relates to students because material is vital for their study. Imagine that you have to ask for permission whenever you extract a few copyrighted material for your report or presentation. Fair use laws enable you to use more material with ease.  

From the author’s view, some may think that this law has a negative impact on them as they lose a large amount of money. However, the more people can access to copyrighted material, the better the original version will become. It is because the original will be commented and criticized by other experts like the way a scientific paper is published. Furthermore, fair use laws help students from low-income families access to better education so that they can become productive people and contribute to society. I think owner will be happy and have a sense of achievement because they do such a good thing. Moreover, a fairly extensive use of the original work is permitted in a parody in order to “conjure up” the original, so the owner will benefit from this when their mental children are beautified.

To sum up, I think fair use law is a human law because thanks to it, education can be free and accessible for more people, especially the poor. Although this law is not beneficial for authors in some cases, its effect may go beyond the things that money can bring, it is humanity.

What is the opinion of the USA Today editorial board regarding mandatory voting? What are
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Voter turnout in U.S. elections hardly inspires pride. The nation lags far behind most modern democracies in the percentage of its citizens who go to the polls. Even in presidential elections, only about 60% of voters show up; turnout for midterm elections is far lower — just 36% last fall.

Policymakers have tried for years to come up with ways to increase those numbers — early voting, same-day registration and voting by mail — but the impact has been small. President Obama provoked controversy last month when he mused about requiring Americans to vote, as is done in Australia and several other countries. The president was responding to a question about how to offset the effect of big money in politics. "That would counteract money more than anything," the president said.

In Australia, 90% of eligible voters go to the polls despite minimal enforcement. Registered voters who fail to vote get a form letter asking why; almost any excuse will do to get someone off the hook. Those with no valid excuse face a fine of about $20, which can escalate if someone refuses to pay, though that is rare.

But the idea is a non-starter in the defiantly individualistic U.S., for good reason: A nation predicated on personal freedom rightly forces its citizens to do only a very few things — pay taxes, serve on juries, educate children, be drafted and serve in some wars, and lately, buy health insurance.

Explanation: There's a compelling reason for each of those, but not to require people to vote. Low turnout, troubling as it is, doesn't pose an existential threat in a nation that has succeeded despite it, nor would forcing disinterested voters to the polls have much value.

If there is an exception, it's in local elections, for which turnout is generally dismal despite the high impact of local government.

jeka57 [31]

This question is missing the stanza. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

Read the final stanza. What does the sound of this

rhyme scheme create?

Though I am old with wandering

Through hollow lands and hilly lands,

I will find out where she has gone,

And kiss her lips and take her hands:

And walk among long dappled grass,

And pluck till time and times are done,

The silver apples of the moon,

The golden apples of the sun.

- "The Song of Wandering Aengus,"

William Butler Yeats

A. a feeling of surprise and unexpected rhymes

B. a feeling of chaos and messiness

C. a feeling that everything is repeating

D. a feeling of calm and an expected ending

Answer:

The rhyme scheme creates:

D. a feeling of calm and an expected ending

Explanation:

When we pay attention to the last word of each line, we see that there is a broken pattern to the way they rhyme. <u>The rhymes are interspersed,</u> but even that logic is often unobserved. "Moon", for instance, does not rhyme with any other word. T<u>his creates an interesting effect on readers. We learn to expect something, but are </u><u>surprised </u><u>to read something else.</u>

Now, when we pay attention to the mood conveyed by the speaker<u>, we can sense calmness.</u> What is described, and the way the speaker describes it, is filled with a <u>sense of certainty</u>. He knows he will meet his loved one, even if he is old. <u>He knows there will be peace and happiness once he finds her.</u>
