When people act obnoxious and disrespectful, I would just like to go up to them and say “I was at about six there. Don’t make me go to ten”, a quote said by Dale in Step Brothers. My pet peeves involve the disrespectful actions of high school students. It really irks me when people in band just don’t play their music correctly or march properly. If we have been practicing the same song for a short amount of time, then I understand if most don’t pick up the notes right away.…

This assignment offers you the occasion to write a letter to the editor of any newspaper, business, or organization that you choose. Typically, these types of letters are written in response to articles in such publications, or in response to some local issue that might be also connected to a national one.

So, to begin with, consider an issue about which you have a strong opinion or “pet peeve”—something that bothers you or something that you think ought to be changed. Eventually you should also read carefully through one of your chosen publications—the one to which you will address your letter.…
I try very hard to finish every book I start, especially the ones that reach 75% or more, but I finally gave up the good fight and let the reading dark side close this book (actually my kindle) forever. Afterward, I felt happy and started reading a story of flesh-eating, soul-crushing and slow-moving zombies. This book takes for granted that all human beings are inherently snooping idiots, or want to read the adventures concerning these snooping imbeciles. The retain one large aspect of the storyline that continued the theme of boredom.…
An Emmaus boys soccer player repeatedly called an opposing team's player a racial slur during last week's game, multiple witnesses said. The Emmaus senior, who is white, continued to hurl the slur at Whitehall junior Javaughn Hussett, who is black, even after being confronted by his coach, John Cari, and the opposing team's players, according to Hussett's mother, Tanya, and teammate Anthony Kleckner. Kleckner said other Emmaus players directed racial digs at Hussett, though not as loudly or as often as their teammate. A game referee was in earshot the first time the boy called Hussett the slur, but did not discipline him, he said Wednesday.…
The United States’ governmental policies known as the War on Drugs contributed to increases of incarceration and arrest rates, notably of African Americans; although substance use and abuse rates of African Americans are lower than that of Whites. Kakade, Duarte, Liu, Fuller, Drucker, Hoven, Fan, and Wu (2012) addressed two main hypotheses: the “differential offending” hypothesis and the “differential treatment” hypothesis. Kakade et. al hypothesized for the “differential offending” hypothesis that overrepresentation of racial/ethnic minorities in the juvenile and criminal justice systems reveals racial differences in the prevalence, the seriousness and the consistent engagement in criminal behavior. Kakade et.…

It should not. Lukianoff and Haidt, discussed trigger warnings across universities as a movement in the rising. Consequently, it can be beneficial as it will give students time to prepare or at least know a subject contacting graphical content will be discussed in class.

I usually find satisfaction when an example of comedic wit comes to light. The art of sarcasm, and the structure of satire have never ceased to amuse me. Although, when this specific brand of “humor” comes about, I sit back not to marvel at the thought or eloquence of the speech, but to restrain my own deeply rooted antipathy. When these graceless, crude masses shove their way into conversation, I watch in disdain as they merely beg for the attention of their audience. My muscles tense and cringe while my fingers curl reflecting my desire to retreat from an area so comically contaminated.…
Thousands of people revile Offit publicly at rallies, on Web sites, and in books.

During the Tet offensive, only 1536 Americans died and out of the 85,000 Viet Cong soldiers, 45,000 of them died (more than half of them) . It was constantly shown on the news day by day, showing nothing but the Americans getting the hound kicked out of them.

The Tet Offensive was the start of the down fall of the American forces in the Vietnam war because anti war riots sparked due to the lies from the media, the failure of leadership by the president, and the misrepresentation of the battle.…

As wealthy tv shows begin to fill channels. “A fantasy world where we have started to induce ourselves into the lives of the 1%” (Farnoosh Torabi). It's true, we all prefer to watch the rich, even if we don't like to admit it. You most likely have a tv.…
Tapping Hypocrites most likely everyone knows at least one in their life. Well I have a pet peeve and it makes me a huge hypocrite. Picture yourself in a classroom sitting there working really hard on your work trying to the best of your abilities. Then you hear it tap, tap, tap of the person next to you tapping their foot and their hand, pencil just shaking like they are tapping. While you yourself are doing the exact same thing that you get so annoyed with.…
