Connecticut Compromise

To form a more perfect union, “We the People” need to fight to restrain the size of the government to prevent encroachment on the rights of individuals and families by an unrestrained and massive centralized governance system. This great nation found its beginnings in separating from the excessively powerful and abusively controlling government of Great Britain, proving that a big government society is destined to fail. The 13 colonies, starting in 1607, when Jamestown was founded in Virginia,…

New England Forests When the pilgrims arrived in 1620, they cut down most of the forests in the New England area in order to clear land for farming and to build houses. However, from 1850 to 1950, many people abandoned farms in favor of jobs in the textile industry. Others moved away because the land in the Midwest was cheaper. In any case, once these farmers left, the forest ecosystem began to recover. Seeds were carried to the abandoned fields by animals and the wind. Over time, the fields had…

Glaciation had four major effects on Connecticut. The first one is Jobs pond, a kettle hole. A kettle hole is a chunk of glacier that broke off and sat in one spot. The glacier melted and created a pond ( Jobs pond). However there is no tributaries coming in or out of this pond so the only other…

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…

Compromise to Solve Problems Are there many ways to resolve conflict? The answer is yes. However, compromise is the best way to end in a neutral solution that can benefit both parties. Compromise is an agreement between conflicting individuals where they agree to make concessions. In most conflicts, the two parties either disagree on something or trying to prove a point. Settling the issue using compromise can be beneficial for both parties, form an understanding to the other’s point, and can…

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. This idea of compromising happiness has been depicted by Tim O’Brien in the short story On the Rainy River.…

The team to watch this year in the NCAA tournament is the University of Connecticut Women’s Basketball team. Their perfect one hundred and eight game streak and four back to back national championships has earned them the title, Dynasty. While this resume is almost uncomparable with any other sports record out there, there are those who believe that the UConn Huskies are hurting the progress of women's basketball and overall the progress of women's sports. Jack Brewster, of the University Wire…
