Plagiarizing is not the answer!

Ethics and morals play a very important role in my life. It is the principle or rules of conduct between right and wrong decisions within individuals. It is something I face every day, which helps me make the correct decisions. Some of the most common ethics come from religion, elders, laws, government, society, etc. You decide on your own ethics by how you were raised and what you gathered from all of the influences around you. I, Kristen Fertig, promise to follow my ethics and not cheat in English 103 or in any of my other classes while attending Clemson University. At Clemson University they have an Academic Integrity policy which states that as a university they shall not tolerate lying, cheating, or stealing in any form. The policy is enforced all over campus; therefore I will never cheat or plagiarize in any of my classes.

Rhetoric


When I view this image, the first thing that comes to mind is how everyone is labeled. There are many labels all representing something different. By having all the labels on the newborns body shows that it does not matter what age you are in society, there will always be a label that goes along with your name. The hands holding up the newborn are the parents, therefore it shows they start the labeling by the clothes they buy the newborn and how they raise the child. Overall it is an image that shows labeling in society will always be a part of ones life.

About Me

Hey ya'll. My name is Kristen Fertig. I am currently a second semester freshman at Clemson Univeristy. I am majoring in Biological Sciences. I want to continue my education and either go to Medical School or Dental School, im still kind of undecided. Some things I enjoy doing is being outside either in the mountains or at the beach. I love to play sports and stay in shape. Softball and Volleyball have to be my two favorite sports to play but I like to watch Baseball and Football.
