Balko's summary of "What You Eat is Your Business"
______________________
It is assume that everyone has or should have personal responsibility. This is the case that Radley Balko makes in his article titled, “What You Eat is Your Business.” Unfortunately, not everyone can have personal responsibility. Take, for instance, the image of children buying their lunch food. Naturally, children will gravitate towards food that looks and smells delicious, not caring about the nutritional value. Additionally, parents can be busy, so they do not have the time to check what their kids are eating. Therefore, it seems reasonable for the government to intervene between the people and their waistlines. Despite the fact that Balko disagrees with government involvement in people’s health and fails to see its benefits, many individuals notice the advantages. For years now, America’s health care system has been migrating toward socialism, meaning that people do see the pros of government intercession. Concerned citizens like nutritionist activists want to move beyond personal responsibility. Their logic is rational because not everyone can afford to pay for health care in order to maintain their wellbeing.
Consequently, government intervention acts as a stepping stone to help people start getting in
shape.

..It is assume that everyone has or should have personal.. --> "Everyone has" and "should have" = grammatically correct?

Additionally, parents can be busy, so they do not ......--> is the comma after busy correct?

thanks again

SEMI COLON/ PUNCTUATION HELP! Will someone please tell me if this is correct? Thanks!?

IM NOT TO COMFORTABLE WITH SEMI COLONS AND I HAVE TO TURN THIS PAPER IN TOMORROW MORNING. I WAS SUPPOSED TO EDIT THE PARAGRAPH, BUT I ALREADY DID. COULD YOU JUST PLEASE TELL ME IF I USED THE SEMI COLONS AND COMMAS CORRECTLY? YOU CAN MAKE CHANGES IF YOU WANT. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!

Identify and revise the comma splices and fused sentences in the following paragraph.

All those parents who urged their children to eat broccoli were right; the vegetable really is healthful. Broccoli contains sulforaphane. This mustard oil can be found in kale and Brussels sprouts. Sulforaphane causes the body to make an enzyme that attacks carcinogens; these substances cause cancer. The enzyme speeds up the work of the kidneys, and then they flush harmful chemicals out of the body. Other vegetables have similar benefits; however, green leafy vegetables like broccoli are the most efficient. Thus wise people will eat their broccoli; it could save their lives.

Jehovah's Witnesses: Is It True That You Place Punctuation In Your NWT To Support Your Own Teachings?

I read in an answer on Yahoo that you do. The example provided is Jesus' words to the thief on the cross next to him at Luke 23:43: "I say to you today you will be with me in paradise." The NWT puts the comma after "today" but other translations put it before the word today. The poster says the more common use is to put it BEFORE the word today. He says this more common use is right and the Witnesses are wrong. Therefore, it is reasoned that Jehovah's Witnesses rearrange scriptures to change the meaning and support their peculiar teachings and this is but one example.

Since, as the poster rightly mentions, there was no punctuation in koine Greek (the reader or writer has to supply it), on what is the "more common" placement of the comma based? If Witnesses place the comma after the word today based on their own (allegedly erroneous) teachings, then on what do other Bible translations base their "common" placement of the comma BEFORE the word today? I mean, since there was no punctuation in the original, how do those who commonly place the comma know it is supposed to go BEFORE the word today?

Of course, since we are talking about scriptures, it would be beneficial to use scriptures in the answer. Therefore, all scriptures in your response and the expounding thereon is appreciated.

thank you in advance.



question:
Why would you like to attend college? Discuss your career and personal goals. Are there any particular circumstances, school experiences, or persons that influenced your preparation or motivation to attend college (e.g., cultural/financial background, family, teachers, schools you attended)? Please explain.


this is my response:
I have been considering college as far back as I can remember; I see no other option besides college. My personal goals in life have always revolved around how it will affect me getting accepted to college. It took me awhile to decide what career path would interest me the most. As I am one, to do a lot of research before I pick a path I am confident in. Someone who I would say has always pushed me toward choosing college, and influenced me the most would be my Dad. A typical ride to school for me, with my Dad, would be him trying to give me some form of a lecture about how important college is. Always, referring back to himself, who ended up dropping out of school in the 6th grade, to start helping out his family: financially. With no college degree and at the least no high school diploma, it was extremely difficult for him to find a steadily job that paid good. Even today, seeing everything he has been through encourages me to be better. In the sense, of stepping it up another level, and be more successful. I’ve seen the struggles and bad “luck” that my Dad sees happening to him constantly. And the way he uses himself as an example of the so called “wrong” path to make in life: regretting not finishing school. I believe me, as well as my brothers and sisters graduating high school and making it to college would be the happiest thing for him to see.

Pls. help me to correct the grammar. Thanks ?
