If you see something wrong the logical thing would be to make it right. Unfortunately the reality it is that a lot of people are unwilling to do the right thing, due to lack of responsibility or fear of failure. I believe, that when people are willing to take a stand they have to come to the realization that they may not win in the end. Overcoming this stigma is difficult, but when people do they come realize that they are doing something great regardless if they win or lose. I believe winning is just a matter of circumstance, not all succeed, but that doesn't make their effort any less impactful.…
The Phillipses and Mikowski did not have the Higginses and the Hargroves removed from the Talbot Bank loans and to date, the Phillipses and Mikowski have not paid any funds to the Higginses and the Hargroves as required by the Purchase Agreements. In an effort to avoid their contractual obligations to the Higginses and the Hargroves, the Phillipses claim that the Higginses, the Hargroves, and the Fitzgeralds entered into a civil conspiracy to defame and disparage them, the Riverhouse, and Easton Golf. See Second Amended Counterclaim. The Phillipses contend this was done by spreading rumors throughout Talbot County, and by waging a “defamation campaign” on Facebook.…
The film 13th directed by Ava DuVernay is a documentary about the direct and indirect slavery of African Americans ever since the first African was taken away from his or her home land in the seventeenth century. The title, “13th”, refers to the 13th amendment which was supposedly passed to abolish slavery and the 150 years of unfair treatment that occurred even after that amendment was ratified. This documentary’s purpose is to showcase all the unacceptable events that blacks have been through for the past hundreds of years and to emphasize that all lives matter including those of people of color. 13th displays how unfair treatment evolved from slavery to unnecessary imprisonment to segregation to being seen as a threat by the community.…
My advice to makayla is to never get stuck on one question no longer than five minutes. It's okay to skip a question and come back to it later once you have answer all of the other questions. It's also okay to guess intelligently on some of the questions. I feel that you shouldn't always linger on the same questions, because that can cause you to loose most of you time on the test. John When writing I think John should just write everything out first step-by-step.…
There are many types of people in the world, and with them, we all have different stories. Everyone tries to make their stories triumphant, but some lackluster. Individuals strive for success, but failure is inevitable. In this passage the narrator introduces Quoyle, a distressed character, struggling to succeed. He barely survived childhood and camouflaged throughout the rest of his life.…
The writing expected from college courses is one that most are unfamiliar with. Although students learn basic English skills throughout grade school and up to high school, most of the advanced steps are forgotten by the time the student is to enter college. Paired with this, are the nontraditional students, who haven’t studied advanced academic language for long periods of time. Professors are expecting students of all kinds of study to have a high academic vocabulary and high writing skill. Often times a gap in remedial writing courses within the first semester or so.…
The issue of declawing is being made more obvious to the horrors it can cause to your beloved feline friend. When an onychectomy, otherwise known as a declaw, is performed it is equal to cutting off your finger at the first knuckle. The bone of the third phalanx is removed, it is not just cutting the nail off. Cat's nails retract, by cutting into these muscles and tendons you risk serious long-term physical and emotional impacts. 61 of 163 cats experienced chronic pain for 1-42 days after the surgery ("American Veterinary Medical Association", 2016).…
INTRO// Whales are the most intelligent, beautiful and magnificent marine creatures on Earth. There has all ways been a debate on weather we should kill the whales or keep the whales alive. There is no reason to kill whales because they the are not killing or harming people they are more valuable alive A 1. Whales are extremely important for the health of our environment, ecosystem and the marine animal welfare.…
Even as a precocious ten-year-old reading Oedipus Rex over summer break, I was able to appreciate the succinctness of Oedipus’ answer to the riddle of the Sphinx. To paraphrase: ‘man is the only creature that ‘walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon and three in the evening.’ The most striking thing about this statement is the rather matter-of-fact acceptance that no human has been able to singularly bear the weight of their one’s own decline. That being the case: I’m not unwilling to admit that I grew a bit cantankerous over the last decade. Why else would grinning and snickering ensue whenever I’ve taken the cotton out of my ears momentarily capitulated to the siren call of optimism.…
Have you ever wanted to go back in the past? I bet you’ve thought that at some point, but what I've realized is that it wouldn't really be worth it. Things haven't really changed, even since the Middle Ages. Certainly we have more technology now, different modern day countries, and the human race improved a bit. By a bit I mean, people still relate to each other and treat each other as they always have, even when they shouldn't, especially in the Middle Ages.…
Now, I wish I had chosen Portfolium as one of the three things I look forward to learning. You make some excellent arguments as your reasons. Additionally, I couldn't agree more with your comment about being skilled with current technology. Technology is advancing at such an alarming pace that we as future teachers must make a valiant effort to be ahead of the flourishing electronics curve. Thankfully, this class will be an assistive element towards such a…

After reading through the textbook and viewing the content in units five and six, I am prepared to choose a side in this large debate. To begin, many people argue that the fall of the Roman Empire could not have been avoided, but for many reasons, I believe it could have. The Romans definitely could have made some better decisions, but often times, things don’t last forever. Any evidence of Rome’s decline can also be seen as evidence of its adaptability.…
Space exploration is currently not possible due to our politics, technology and the limitations of light. Politically, space exploration has not received sufficient funding since the end of the Space Race. Without adequate funding from the governments of the world humanity will likely not get far away from our home.…
There is a debate on whether cursive writing should be removed from schools. I personally think it should stay. It can help with future jobs, signing important papers, and can help you mentally. First, keeping cursive writing will help us get better jobs in our future.…
