When you hear the word Michael Vick a lot of controversy comes up because everyone knows him as the man who was arrested for illegal dog fighting. But there is a whole lot more to him then what some people think. Like did you know he played in the NFL? Ok yes you probably did but what else do can you tell me about him? See it is harder than you thought. Before his legal troubles he was a very successful and promising athlete. Even after his time in prison he still found success in the NFL. This…

Everyone on Earth came out of a mother, whether they were adopted at a young age, became an orphan, emancipated, or many other situations. Why does there need to be a dollar value to someone’s life if everyone came to Earth the same way? The most meaningful thing in life is that each person sees the value in themselves and there is nothing worth more than a life. Society has been placing dollar values on lives, however; the value of a person’s life should be determined by their attitude,…

thrown around a lot, and many people describe it differently. Capitalism is a term used to portray the economic system we use today; it’s a system that builds the foundation of our country and a system that purely works for profit. The documentary “Roger and Me” showcases an Ex-journalist Michael Moore on the road to receive more answers on Flint, Michigan and the sudden closing of its General Motors auto plants. With over 30,000 people out of work, the documentary illustrates why our society is…

experiences dramatic change in neighborhood when she decides to move to Rogers Park in Chicago, which is known to be the most diverse neighborhood in a hypersegregated city. This particular neighborhood, as her family friends come to describe it, is home to nothing but violence and she ignores their warnings, more specifically her mother’s, and goes with what is set in her mind. As Biss transitions into the neighborhood of Rogers Park, she quickly realizes how diverse the neighborhood is while…

fantastic.To its minor credit, Concussion doesn’t give the NFL a pass, but it doesn’t make us as angry as it should. That is perhaps because Landesman boxes his NFL narrative around Omalu, which effectively keeps us out of the room with the commissioner, Roger Goodell and out of any rooms of debate with the NFL (who will not acknowledge his research). Omalu new partner and former doctor for the Pittsburgh Steelers,Dr. Julian bates is granted that access while Omalu waits in hotel rooms and…

some believe life is not worth much and we are going to die anyway. There is no definitive answer to this question because it is impossible to prove. Overall the value of life is what people want it to be and we will be looking at it through Hamlet, Roger Ebert, and Amanda Ripley. In Hamlet’s “To be or not to be” Soliloquy he contemplates life based off of his life at that moment and how it has come to be that way. Hamlet does not value life as highly as others because throughout the entire…

Carolina Panthers quarterback and reigning NFL MVP Cam Newton continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons. After the Panthers’ much-needed 30-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals this past Sunday, Newton threw down the gauntlet against NFL officiating crews for putting his safety in jeopardy with missed calls on questionable hits. However, Newton’s claims have already been debunked. Henceforth, he should focus on adjusting his game to mitigate the hits he does experience instead of…

Although some people believe rules in football should not be changed because of the countless years the rules have been kept the same and the ways it would change the nature of the game, the rules should be adjusted to enhance the gameplay experience and make it safer. Football regulations have been increasingly changing throughout the course of the past decade and out of all sports, whether it be baseball, soccer, basketball, or hockey, has been one of the most changed sports. One of these…

Colin Kaepernick is the talk of the sports world. His jersey is the best-selling item for the San Francisco 49ers, despite the fact that he is a backup quarterback, and he’s had more airtime on SportsCenter in the past week than in the last year. And it's because he sat. Throughout the preseason, Kaepernick has refused to stand up during the national anthem, instead sitting on the bench in protest. “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people…

An Integration of Family and Person- Centered Theory Using the Person- Centered theory allows me to use the empathy with clients (Hazler, 2016). When empathy is not used this can hinder the growth and development of a client when they do not have this support in their lives. Using empathy is therapeutic and is an unconditional positive regard in the client’s progress. This will allow me as a counselor to give the acceptance needed by the clients. In addition, person-centered therapy is also…
