Pleneurethics

Pleneurethics is the philosophy developed by Richard Bangs Collier, based on work he did from the 1960s through to the 1980s. Mr. Collier coined the term ‘pleneurethics’ from the composite of three words:

Plenary, or completely competent and with total authority

Neural, relating to the nervous system and the brain

Ethics, having to do with responsible behavior and constructive conduct

The goal of Pleneurethics is to improve the quality of lives through better management of neurological resources so as to create and sustain neurological sufficiency. Pleneurethics espouses a balanced view of the whole person through an understanding of the physical, chemical, mental, and cultural environments of the brain. The way the brain is affected by these environments and responds to them determines one’s health, character, and ability to make responsible choices.

Creative Writing as Rhetoric

 
Final: Creative Writing as Rhetoric
For your final major grade assignment, you’ll be writing a scene from either an original short story or personal narrative that demonstrates two or more perspectives (positive and negative) on one or more ideas you’ve encountered in Sophie’s World.
Again, your final draft should be comprised of only one scene or “a sequence of continuous action.” It should demonstrate a complete action cycle (exposition, rising action, climax, and resolution) but doesn’t have to be (shouldn’t be) an entire story. It should be more like a miniature story; you’re not trying to squeeze a novel, a five act play, or a feature length film into six to ten pages. You want to describe a tense or difficult situation and work your characters through it. Use very few adjectives and adverbs. Use figurative language: colorful verbs, metaphors, similes, personification, etc. Use dialogue. Let different characters represent different perspectives or points of view.

Sophie’s world is a book we have been reading this is not necessarily about Sophie’s World but an idea you have encountered from Sophie’s world. This is not technically an essay it is more of a story. Please provide me with some guidance on a topic before you dart the paper.

In the paper we are not citing or quoting from Sophie’s World.This paper does not need any sources.

Essay

Imagine you are an established film scholar at a large university, who has been contacted by the Encyclopaedia Britannica editors to write about the Film Noir genre for a scheduled update of their online edition. Your specific assignment is to develop a 4-5 pp., double-spaced encyclopedia entry on Film Noir (Thoughtful titles, font size no larger than #12, uniform 1” margins around all four sides of the page please), detailing the genre’s origins, variation, scope, and evolution. This is an intentionally 7 difficult assignment, and you lack the space of a typical 8-10pp thesis-based research paper to waffle aimlessly for seven pages before you finally determine what you want to say. You need to make every word count while at the same time being as comprehensive as you can. The best entries will be concise and specific while also providing a clear explanation of the overall features of Film Noir. What overarching observations, points, and critique(s) do you want to make about the genre, school, style, or filmic cycle known as Film Noir? How might these be exemplified by particular movies we have seen? What else do you want to include in your encyclopedia entry?
