In his theory there are two key concepts: 1) the Stable Period - This is the time when a person makes crucial choices in life, 2) the Transitional Period - This is the end of a person's stage and the beginning of a new one. Life during these transitions can be either rocky or smooth, but the quality and significance of one’s life commitments often change between the…

Society is practically based on double standards, we can’t ever make up our mind on what we claim our values are. We teach little girls that they must be perfect little princesses who never get in trouble and always follow every rule. This puts a lot of pressure on girls and women and affects their self-esteem and overall well-being. On the flip side, we tell boys that they can misbehave and break rules to be better as men. “Bad” boys are what young men strive to be for most of their life. I…

Shakespeare's “The Taming of the Shrew” was written in the 1500s. Last time I checked no one in my class was alive in the 1500s. Men do not treat women like what Shakespeare wrote. Then, why do students need to be educated about the way women were treated so long ago? I could understand learning the behavior of men if we were still behaving that way. Americans are not though. Is the government trying to influence boys to treat girls like Shakespeare wrote? Therefore, the speech by Sojourner…

It wasn't supposed to happen like this, everything was going so well. Pain sears through my leg, I can see Paul through the corner of my eye, he’s hit too. This won't end well for me, Paul should be fine but, I'm hit in the knee; I can feel my body quiver with every throb that is sent through my leg. Why couldn’t I have been hit only a little higher up the leg? Paul keeps trying to tell me that it’s a few inches above my knee, we both know he's only lying to make me worry less. It's not helping.…
