some should just be natural to everyone. The moral I am specifically talking about is showing respect. Now, you all are at the age where you think you know everything, and some of you do. Then, we have those kids who think they know it all and do not have to show respect to anyone. Now, I know I cannot force you to do anything, but after this illustration, I’m hoping to have shown you why it is so important to show respect. Like I mentioned earlier, I know all of you are at the age where you…

In all of these tourist places, English was widely spoken and it was easy to get around, order food and find our way round. Costa Rica: safe, peaceful, adventurous, and a tourist haven. I envisioned Hawaii with even bigger mountains, more lush forests, coffee and chocolate everywhere, and lots of…

And the Band Played On (1993) a woman from a prominent family, who had recently had a heart transplant finds out that she had been given blood from a contaminated donor, her response is, “Are you telling me that they knew they were giving AIDs to people and continued to do it?” This response stood out to me both personally, and in regard to material of this class.

Since, if everyone got the same pay, everybody would not be discriminating against each other. Because men and women should be treated equally in all things, including job status and wages, men and women should be paid the same amount for the same job. If men and women got the same pay for the same job, we, the United States could grow more as a country. Men and women would…
