Jersey Shore

Rey Rodriguez There was a time that I had to reinforce aggressive behavior just a couple weeks ago. My brother who just recently turned five years old, thought it was acceptable to randomly start hitting me and family while we were watching television. We repeatedly told him to stop, but he continued since we would not let him change the channel. At first, I will admit we all laughed because we were so confused as to how he thought this behavior would be remotely acceptable. He has never…

During the spring of 2008, I was playing baseball in a 10 and under league. I had been playing on the same team for two years with some friends from school. The team’s name was the Lake Shore Bluesox. Our team was in a travel league where we would play teams across the state of Maryland from different counties. We practiced three nights a week with a game on Friday, along with three games over the weekend. It was a lot of hard work, but we won almost all of our games. Our coach told us that if…

The reality of reality television is that it is not meant to teach us, but rather entertain us. Just because you observe a person on the screen does not tell us that what they do is justified, or in fact reality, by any means. This is where there is a disconnect. For the large portion of the population watching reality TV daily, it is consuming us. With 57% of…

All forms of government, much like that which exists within the United States, are idealistic. Meaning, in order to function as it is designed, all participants must be virtually flawless. Due to the undeniable fact that all humans are flawed, the American governmental system will function the same way –imperfectly.
