discontent she has when making these compromises by stating, “It tore me up inside to suppress my dream, but I went to school for a PhD in English literature thinking I had found the perfect compromise… felt I was staring at the bottom of the abyss. I had seen the flaw in my life of halfwayness, in my planned life of compromises.” The following statement was effective because she uses hyperbole to strongly express displeasure she has faced by trying to compromise with her parents intentions for…

Senate. This did not give an advantage to either the slave states or free states, which both sides were desperately vying for. Neither side was pleased with the deadlocked Congress before, so this compromise settled close to nothing. The one issue it did resolve was the fate of new states. The Missouri Compromise declared that any new state, other than Missouri, north of 36° 30’ were to disallow slavery.

The headlines are filled with stories of people who fail in ministry due to a short-sided decisions or a compromise of integrity. They trade all that God has for them for momentary pleasure. What is more, many leaders live with the weight of shame and guilt and settle for less than God’s call because they believe their secret is that horrible. Yet God is full of grace and has the power to pick leaders back up. Integrity can be restored. But what if there was a way to avoid the pitfalls so many…

1. When asked to work in pairs for a group project for high school exercise science class, my partner (lets call her Jen for example purposes only) and I got into a very large conflict. It was a project that dealt with knee injuries in sport, and we both had to pick an injury and discuss the causes and rehab solutions for the injury as well as construct a bone joint model for the injury (we choose knee injuries). Jen was taking this course for fun and did not have past experiences with knee…

Now a days, everyone has their own personal device such as an iPhone or a smartphone in general. Older generational people would say that it is bad, but people our age would say it is great. Since we have this great technology it is sometimes good and other times bad. For instance, someone could go on twitter right now and say something completely rude to someone and it could make that person get really sad or mad. According to Rothwell, “Flaming is a cyber-term for an abusive, attacking written…

If there is no compromise, then there is no way of moving forward. Yes, the teacher is technically in charge, but they need compromise to show that they care about their students. Being able to change due dates, helping them out on a particularly hard question on a test, or even letting them have a free day can all help students learn more. Compromise can even be as simple as rewarding them when they do well on a test. Rewards are good compromises. If the students do particularly…

interpreting happiness as it differs with every individual. As a matter of fact, happiness compels an individual to embrace their passion and do what they truly believe in. However, sometimes while on the path of pursuing happiness, one may be forced to compromise and go against what he or she wants or believes in.
