with the right crowd. Since that happens friends become strangers and once high school ends, most leave the awkwardness behind and start forming into what they believe an outstanding citizen is. In that case, those going to college may join sororities or fraternities, but sadly the partying, drinking and sex are one the…

Introduction The purpose for this proposal is to initiate an anti-drinking campaign for Ridick University. It has come to our attention that Ridick University has earned the reputation of a party school with excessive alcohol consumption and underage drinking. As a member of the community, a concerned citizen and a professor at Ridick, an anti-drinking campaign could not come soon enough. Background The reputation of a party school might sound enticing and exciting for future students; however…

enjoy can be classified as sub-territories, specifically tribal territories, according to Desmond Morris’s writing “Territorial Behavior”. Some examples you may be familiar with are book clubs, political parties, biker gangs, gun clubs, fraternities or sororities, and so on. Desmond Morris’s research and expertise in animal and human behavior confirm the fact that almost all of us partake in these sub-groups and feel a sense of allegiance with which ever group we are a part of. I will justify…

In the course of their freshman year of college about fifteen percent of women are sexually assaulted while under the dark influence of alcohol or drugs or even both, according to reports whether it be medical or police.

I can always count on my grandparents with anything, from attending ballet recitals, to sitting in the soccer stands and not having a clue how the game of soccer is played. I can always count on my grandparents to be there. Without my grandparents, I definitely would not be where I am today. It all started in 1954 in a little town called Macon, Georgia. My grandmother’s name was Mildred Mathews, and my grandfather is Jackson Moore. My grandparent’s met while they were in high school, and I…

My group’s topic for discussion was general education requirements at Penn State University. We used the P-MOPS problem-solving technique to discuss and furthermore decide on a solution to the general education issue.

According to the “Book of Beer Pong”, which is the absolute source…
