Persuasive Essay
We Should Take Responsibility
Responsible. Read that word to yourself and think what popular definitions surround it. A definition of responsible might be accountable, reliable, dependable, or trustworthy. "She is a really responsible person." "They don't take responsibility for their actions." "He was responsible for the accident." How many times have we heard statements similar to these? Based on my observations and experiences, I believe the personal responsibility is insufficient in our lives.
A few months ago, I left my car outside of a small shop. While I was going between the aisles one person asked me “Is it your car in outside? You need to go out and see your car.” When I got out the shop, the right front door of my car was dented. That person told me the blue truck was backing up near my car and he heard some sound. That car left very quickly and I could see just the image of that car. The driver knew that he crashed into my car and he didn’t want to take a responsibility for his action!
The other day, just before last Thanksgiving, I ordered a product by online. The company should send me the product in five to ten business days. When due date came I didn’t receive any package. I find the information out that the package delivered. Deliver company was UPS. I called UPS customer service and they answered that the person who was in my address received the package. In fact, there was nobody in my apartment. I explained them, but answers were same. After several days attempts I decided to contact to the store customer service and told them the story. Finally they resent the product. But just after that time, UPS customer service guy called me again and said the deliver leaved the package to our apartment manager. While informing that he was laughing, I was so nervous. I couldn’t understand why they lied every time, why they didn’t leave sample door tag? Who should take responsibility for that? Company? Delivery person? or Customer service officer?
I have one other thought about personal responsibility in the society. Some people ask money from others in the street, at the bus station everywhere. The majority of them have state welfare benefits for unemployment, homeless and etc. The more they have the benefits, the lazier they get. They should think about their personal responsibility.
Responsibility usually falls on everyone in the society.
We should take responsibility!

Analytical Essay
From Goat Skin to Human Body
“Who will explain that why those sweaters don’t meet quality requirements?” asked production manager during the weekly meeting. One said “The finishing technology messed up!” The other said “Because of dyeing problem…”, “The quality of raw material was not good”. Everyone was seeking to explain own reason. “So you mean that the goats ate the wrong grasses. The goats are responsible for quality of sweaters, aren’t they?” I, young new worker, was sitting a first time in the meeting and thinking “Why he said about goats?”
On the next day I started my internship to familiarise all processes of cashmere fiber production from the first step to the end. The first step was to obtain the knowledge about the raw material-cashmere. It combed from a goat and graded according to color and fineness. The original or natural color of cashmere has various shades of white, grey and brown. Then the raw cashmere goes through primary processing resulting in the highest quality cashmere.
At the same time I studied from the book that the cashmere wool is a fiber, usually simply known as cashmere. The finest and longest cashmere fiber comes from young cashmere goats. The word cashmere derives from an old spelling of Kashmir. Cashmere is characterized by its soft and highly adaptable fiber. It is noted as providing natural light-weight insulation without bulk.
Next step was dyeing natural cashmere and spin into cashmere yarns. Spun yarn is made by twisting or otherwise bonding staple fibers together to make a cohesive thread. Yarn quality defines garment quality.
Final step was knitting cashmere garments. Knitting is a method by which yarn may be turned into garments. Knitting consists of loops called stitches pulled through each other. The active stitches are held on a needle until another loop can be passed through them. A cashmere sweater is two or three times warmer than a wool jumper of similar weight. Each goat will only produce enough cashmere for half sweater per year, hence the rarity of this wool.
The end of my internship, I understood that why he told about goats’ responsibility. The process of cashmere products is complicated and requires high technology and detailed operations. Purely natural cashmere products have no harmful affects on human body while giving pleasure and comfort.
