about themselves” -- Mr. T If you grew up in the 80’s or 90’s, then you know the name Mr. T. He was former United States Army veteran and Military Policeman who turned into a bouncer and bodyguard for the rich and famous. He later became a famous television personality while starring the 80’s sitcom “The A-Team.” He also was a public motivator and made a motivational video to help kids such as dealing with peer pressure, money management, appreciating who they are,…

she spends the most time on and this makes sense since college students need to do a lot of work in order to pass their classes. She spends a good amount of time with friends which is important to her. Her routine of getting up every morning around eight is helpful to her because she knows how much time she has to get ready for her day. She also spends a reasonable amount of time relaxing and doing things she enjoys which is good because college can become stressful if there is no…

from around the country have been trying to figure out the answer to that question. Doctors and reporters believe that cheating with steroids should be something encouraged in the MLB. For example, Dr. Robert Simon, PhD, a professor at Hamilton College, stated in Fair Play: The Ethics of Sports via Procon.org that if people in general can do whatever it takes to succeed in what they are trying to do, “shouldn 't athletes have the same freedom as anyone else?” (Simon).

Friday night football, the emotional roller coaster of school is about to start. It is that time of year again, and summer is coming to an end. The weather is going to start to cool off. School supply shopping is in full swing and the supplies have been out for months. Off shopping we go, to see what I am going to need for school. This school year is not like all the others; I am off to college. Instead of shopping for pencils, and notebooks, I am shopping for (an entire) dorm room. College…

socialization is the assignment of colors. Baby girls are assigned the color pink, while baby boys are assigned the color blue. From then on it only continues; girls are given toys like dolls to play with, while boys are given toys like trucks and footballs. This form of socialization and assignment of gender roles has huge impacts on children as it follows them into adulthood and beyond. Although sex and gender are closely related they are not the same, treating them as if they are can have…

and games. Why should hardworking men and women pay taxes that aren't even helping to benefit their country and society? Our tax dollars should be used to fix roads, improve children's’ education, and to pay off the national debt, not to pay for football, baseball, and basketball games.

When asked about legalization, Bud Selig, the former commissioner of Major League Baseball, posed a weak rebuttal by citing Arnold Rothstein as a reason against legalization. Selig’s ideology is flawed in several ways. First of all, sports gambling has always been illegal in America, for all intents and purposes.

Some of the football or hockey or baseball games that I have been to can be deafeningly loud but a tennis match never gets that loud. At high school or lower level matches there is only some light clapping. However at the college level and pro level matches there is lots of clapping, shouting and screaming. There is a vast difference between the two groups in terms of noise…
