I was drawn closer to the ruckus of the court room. It wasn’t the peculiar defendant’s case or Emperor Claudius’s visit that caught my attention, it was the alluring, musical voice. I dragged my hands along the stone walls of the basilica until I passed the stench of the audience and drew near enough to the jury to hear their creaking wooden benches. I leaned against the wall near the edge of the room while in line with the defendant’s voice which sounded close. Unlike most prisoners who came,…

Kylie could never forget the day she watched the first episode of Grey’s Anatomy.

The Grey’s Anatomy pilot came to a denouement. Now, it was up to the viewer ratings to determine if she would have the ability to find out what comes next. What happens next? Does Derek save Katie? Do Meredith and Derek continue to be together? Kylie was…

I was faced with an ethical dilemma that I will never forget. I was 11-years old, and my best friend Hollie and I wanted to go out to eat, so we begged my parents to take us to McDonalds. After talking my parent into taking us, we talked them into letting us stay there to eat so we could play on the outdoor playground. While we were playing I happened to find a wallet in the ball pit with One-hundred dollars in it. I could not believe I found One-hundred dollars. No one else was playing with us,…

Four of the habits I use currently in mu internship include being proactive, beginning with the end in mind, thinking win/win and seeking first to understand. Being proactive, I use every day while I’m at my internship, I am always responsible for my actions.

This shows that I am being proactive, because I am doing…

Over the past year, I have had a battle for independence within myself and with my father. I have gone to church almost every Sunday ever since I was born. I remember it being my parents’ choice when I was younger forcing me to go, and I remember it be my choice about a few years ago when I had friends there and I would have fun. I never did go out of fear of God or the Devil, it was always a social experience. Since most of my friends were older, they all started to go off to college and I…

I have lived my life with a drug abusing aunt that hasn 't had a job since I can remember. That always had me wondering how could she survive without a job. Now that I 've gotten older and had more understanding on the situation I can say my aunt abuses Welfare. Now knowing that it kind of bugs me that people out there can get away with using public assistance to live off and never lift a finger when the normal person wakes up every morning to earn their money. After some research and…

While in the second article “Pro athletes salaries are not overly…

One of the most important essays in this chapter was called “Tie the Knot”, by W. Bradford Wilcox. This argument was written by a sociologist, who argues that with a change in social policy, individuals will be more inclined to marry at a younger age. He states that in turn, this can create a “stronger country overall” (585). As I read through this essay, I noticed that there are many ways in which the author is effective in his argument. The three methods that the author uses to create a strong…

The first scale I chose was the self-esteem scale. After filling out this scale I believe that I was high on that particular trait. But, I feel like the scale did a reasonably good job in assessing the trait of self-esteem. The only reason why I personally believe that the scale did not do a great job in assessing the trait is because of a couple of the questions. For example, the fourth question asks “I seldom feel blue”. This question to me, does not relate to self-esteem. Seeing that everyone…
