Norwegian people

put on a show for everyone. They don’t know what has been going on. It feels like I’m drowning with each click on the camera for photos. On a daily basis, people come up to me saying how blessed I am and how they wish they were me. Actually, they don’t want to be mentally disturbed, depressed, and not be able to show it. Fame is not all people say it is. Of course there are benefits but you could say that about anything. You can’t have lazy days and are always expected to be perfect. There is no…

complete safety. Photoshop is a dangerous tool in the way that it conveys an unrealistic image of a body that is not achievable. Magazines and photos don’t come with a disclaimer that explains that the body in the images is altered, as they should. People, usually young women, see these…

The Sami People, Reindeer, and a Shared History My ancestry stems from many countries within Northern Europe, but the largest portion of my lineage descends from Norway. My Norwegian ancestor immigrated to the United States in the early 20th century from central Norway. Thanks to the internet and ancestry search sites, my American family has recently reunited with our Norwegian family and so forth our roots. I was lucky enough to travel to Norway almost ten years ago to visit my new extended…

In today’s world the internet makes up a large portion of the way we get our news and keep in touch with family and friends. Some people believe that the new technology is a new tool used for conducting incivility. I have to disagree with these people on the thought that it does more good for this world than harm. I believe the use of internet and social media encourage civility in today’s society. Cyberbullying is a new form of bullying that has just recently come about from the use of…

take your picture and post it up as your default, and that’s what people are going to expect that you are every day, when really you’re making it up for all these people…” (380). She makes a valid point that most people today would rather hide who they are and take to social media to broadcast their “fake” self, instead of embracing their unique quirks and flaws, these things we forget that make us human, and show them to the…

Plus Sized Acceptance It is a real struggle for bigger people to be accepted by society. The majority of our society has built a stereotype around “the perfect body”. They have done this for both men and women, though women have a harder time with it then men do. No matter where a bigger person goes there is always someone who feels that they shouldn’t have even come out in public. There are so many people who think that larger men and women are “disgusting creatures”. Sometimes it has even…

welfare, there are a lot of reason why I picked this branch in Social Work. Throughout the whole broad range of Social Work the one passion of mine is child welfare. When learning of child welfare I heard the good and the bad. The different types of people I will meet. It can deter some, because you do not know what you could get yourself into. Nevertheless I see child welfare as a desire of mine I want to continue, and contribute to in the program. When I have a mindset on something I do not…

The challenges of the job are going to be making sure onecan do the physical work that the job requires, along with making sure that the job is fit for that person or individual. Why do I want a job in this career field?The reason that I want this job in the career field and that the job…

family is not laughing or enjoying themselves when together. There is nothing that can compare to the love and dedication I have to these people. Without them there is no telling where I would be right now or the person I could have become if they had been anyone else. Now here comes the tragic part. When I was the young age of nine my parents…

comes to dating you want someone who is able to balance you out, vice versa.” Nevertheless, when we come to know others and our goal is simply to get along and to have a good time” (Maniaci & Reis, 2013). A relationship where there are two headstrong people wouldn’t work, or a relationship where both are sensitive just wouldn’t work. When it comes to the qualities, traits and characteristics there should be a few things in common when looking for a mate. You want someone that is mature, open,…
