A tradition is the transmission of customs or beliefs from generation to generation, or the fact of being passed on this way. Everyone has a tradition, whether it is family meal you do every Sunday night or throwing a baby shower for a mother-to-be. Every family, town, country has their own traditions. Today I am focusing on French holidays and traditions. Through-out learning about other countries holidays, we can compare and contrast them to ours in America. I will be discussing Bastille Day,…
We start celebrating Christmas Eve by going to Church and having the last posada, as a family. When we come back from church we gather at a family members house. There we eat our traditional food, pozole, tamales, and drink ponche. As the night goes on we joke around, play games, dance, and even sing. When midnight approaches we gather everyone to get ready to open presents and welcome baby Jesus. To conclude this is how Latin America celebrates Christmas. With our traditional pozadas, and…
AA stands for alcoholic anonymous. I attended an AA meeting on 2/12/2018 at 5 pm. This meeting was at Crossroads 827 19th St. Altoona, PA 16601. The meeting was an open discussion called one day at a time. Nine members attended and one other student nurse along with me. The meeting was truly eye opening. It was amazing how much these meetings mean to the members who attend. The meeting starts with introductions, then some of the members do readings of the AA meetings steps and requirements. The…
Trying to understand why recovery from substance abuse works for some and not others, I began a journey into article research to see if there is evidence to show what works when people are trying to get off drugs. The idea that somebody can just wake up one day and be done isn’t realistic. To have the best chances of success, to become free from substance abuse or addiction, one must encompass a lifestyle of changes. To include, finding support, attending meetings, incorporate spirituality…

(Alcoholics Anonymous World Services Inc 9-13) There are also many Bible studies Christians can read to help them along the road…
The transition from orality to literacy is fascinating because one would naturally assume that a transition has three phases: How Things Were, How Things Are, and How Things Were in Between. In this case, the natural assumption is incorrect. How Things Were is a clearly identifiable stage, obviously separate from the others. In that stage, written language had not yet been invented. It is much more difficult to define How Things Are. Once the transition from orality began, literacy intermingled…
Self-Help Assignment Reflection Paper Meeting Information The experiences that I attained from attending two dissimilar self-help meetings were beneficial and applicable to my role as a future social worker. It is imperative to have a strong sense of self and engage in opportunities that encourage personal reflection especially when working in the helping profession.

and appearance. The Grandmother who took so much time on herself illustrates to many of us the old southern tradition. However, the grandmother’s grandson “bailey,” isn’t accustomed to the old tradition like his grandmother is, but instead interested in what the new southern culture may bring.

the world. But my question comes from the particular relationship that Mrs. Hopewell and Hulga share. Mrs. Hopewell’s hypocritical ways play a great role in my question. Did Mrs. Hopewell’s actions affect Hulga? From the story the reader can see that Hulga carries herself around with a prosthetic leg. Hulga is always finding ways to annoy her mother and portray herself as this sophisticated knowledgeable person. Mrs. Hopewell attempts to teach Hulga values that she does not abide by herself.…
