SYNTHESIS PARAGRAPH

Summary of your research with embedded links to evidence from your blog posts that supports your thesis.

My blog- post is about the evolution of the beautiful game of basketball and I will be telling who, when, where, and how the game of basketball started and who made the game of basketball become what it is today. Basketball was created by James Naismith in 1891 he came up with the idea because he saw a peach basket and a soccer ball and he hung the peach basket on a tree and that’s how the game of basketball was created. At first the game of basketball was not physical at all until  high school and colleges began to play it and these are where the referee’s came into play because they had to call a lot of fouls. Low scoring games were very common because at the time there was no shot clock and when a team got a good lead they would pass the ball around to run time. This method became boring for commentators and audiences so the shot clock was enforced to bring excitement to the game of basketball.  When the shot clock was enforced coaches began to look for big athletic guys who can get rebounds and finish at the rim strong to get fast points. This led to really high scoring games and entertainment for everyone. In the 1950’s and 60’s the Boston Celtics were the team that started the aggressive defense and fast pace offense and they were the champions almost every year.

SAMPLE PARAGRAPH

RESEARCH QUESTION:  What factors affect how people make purchasing decisions?

THESIS: People’s response to incentives are affected by costs and benefits, but, according to my research are also influenced by religion, social class, age and psychological factors also affect decision making.

SYNTHESIS PARAGRAPH: Cultural factors are factors that come from our culture and customs. In Management Study Guide post it is stated that Subcultures (smaller divisions of one the same culture), Religion (Christianity, Hindu, Muslim, Judaism etc.) and even your Gender affect your decisions. That means that all the everyday things that we take for granted, subconsciously affect our decisions.Social factors are the next major group of elements that take part in consumer decision making process. From Management Study Guide website I got a good idea  of how social differences affect us. Reference groups (people surrounding you in everyday life), family, role in society and social status (upper/middle/lower “class”) all affect our decisions. The way you see yourself in society changes yourway of decision making. Personal factors include age, occupation and income and lifestyle. Age is quite straightforward, some products are made for one group of people, some for others. In this article on Marketing 91 it is stated that your occupation and income affect you, which makes sense because your income sets the limits to your buying power. Lifestyle is pretty flexible, it is all the decisions you personally make and shape according to your desires. Psychological factors, as stated on Small Business website can be separated in two groups: ones you were born with and ones you acquire over time. Motivation and needs (hunger, thirst) affect you at the moment, or right before the buying, perception is the factor that is used in marketing (the way we see the product), learning (if you bought it once and you didn’t like it you won’t buy it again) and beliefs all affect your decisions from the psychological side of view.

Overview

The Holocaust was a rough time for many people. The article “Ushmm” summarizes that Americans were starting to care a lot more about the Holocaust, and for a while FDR was keeping it from them. This shows that the American’s wanted to help , but since they were unable to be fully aware of it, they couldn’t do much. Even before that, FDR was dealing with many situations of his own regarding his position as President. The article “Daily Caller” says that FDR was no focusing on the Holocaust and all the Jews, all he did was try and make the U.S. perfect. This proves that FDR couldn’t handle the pressure. He couldn’t juggle two things at once, he only made one good, and one suffer. But even before that Hitler had to gain power somehow. The website “Brain Blogger” says that Hitler had to sell himself to all the Germans to show that he could be trusted. No one actually knew that what he was doing was a bad thing. He always said bad things about the Jews and the Germans went along.

• low scoring basketball games were common the author states”Teams that could build an eight- or 10 point lead often held the ball for minutes at a time to prevent an opponent from mounting a comeback”.
• “This strategy of freezing the ball and going into a stall was effective but boring for spectators.”
• Because of the boring strategy of holding the ball when a team had a 8to10 point lead the National Basketball Association(NBA) established the shot clock in 1954.
• the shot clock which is 24 seconds long increased the tempo of the game which made it more exciting for people to watch.

In 1891 the beautiful game of basketball was created by James Naismith and he was an at first just an ordinary teacher that worked at Springfield College in Massachusetts. He created it from a soccer ball by dribbling the ball up the court and passing it to an open teammate who would shoot it into a peach basket. At first basketball was not a physical sport until high schools and colleges began playing basketball and the game became physical and referees began to call fouls when players would shoot and dribble. Jumpshots counted as 2 points and free throws counted as 1 point and the players would move the ball around as well they would typically throw 5 to 6 passes to find a good shot. Low scoring games were very common at that time because there was no shot clock so if some teams got a 8 to 10 point lead they would keep moving the ball.until the game ended. Holding the ball for minutes at a time became boring for fans and for commentators so to speed the game up the shot clock was enforced in 1954 and each team got 24 seconds to get a shot off. When the shot clock was enforced coaches began to look for guys who could run with speed and jump high for rebounds and who can get to the rim and score instead guys who could pass the ball or shoot from the outside. The shot clock led to high scoring games and it became entertaining to the fans and to commentators. The team who started the fast pace basketball was the 1950s and 1960s Boston Celtics and they would outrun their opponents and they would play aggressive defense to disrupt their opponent. In 1967 The American Basketball Association(ABA) created the 3 point line to compete with the NBA and the NBA later on picked up 4 ABA teams and added the 3 point line to the NBA this still didn’t change the game that much because it was still a fast paced game and this just gave players an opportunity to get an extra shot.

The end

    Throughout the course of World War 2 and the Holocaust, many things occurred. From war, to death, and starvation, everything was leading up to this event. The end of the reign of Hitler. It all started in July of 1944, when the Soviets took and stand to liberate a camp in Poland called Maidanek. From there, many more were shut down, but it completely ended when the biggest camp of all was liberated. In January of 1945, Auschwitz was liberated. This was the biggest camp in the Nazi territory, were the most deaths occurred. This was a huge milestone in the ending of the Holocaust. This means that with all the survivors, there had a be a place for them to go. So, camps were built for the survivors who couldn’t return to their homes because of threats from other countries. The source “Hitler's Children” was published by a man whose name was Chanoch Ze’evi, therefore the information may be biased because he could have changed the information to make one side look better.

Though the liberation of the camps was very important to starting the ending process of the Holocaust, one other thing really ended it for sure. In April of 1945 Adolf Hitler committed suicide before the allied countries had a chance to capture him. And because of his suicide thousands of Nazis committed suicide. They were taught that it was a more option better than being captured and punished for their beliefs. However, hundreds more were caught and punished for their involvement in the Holocaust.
