Part A Task 1 Something I found interesting in the preparation material Perspectives Magazine was in the article The Day I Became Black by Willem Reerink. Reerink tells us about the day he told his class that his mother was African-American and how his peers reacted. I was surprised by their reaction; they looked at him in a very different way and he said he felt he had dropped their esteem. They also started looking at him as “black”, which doesn´t really make any sense because he is not black…

Saving the planet is as easy as buying clothes. Depending on what company you buy from, you can actually make a difference in the world and help protect the environment. Patagonia and the North Face are the two biggest companies in the outdoor clothing market. And for good reason, they both offer fashionable, comfortable, and high-quality products, but there's more to the companies than just their logo. The North face’s mission statement is “Provide the best gear for our athletes, support the…

Utopian Society : Rayton I want to stress the reasons why Rayton is the foremost Utopian Society. Government: In the Community of Rayton, the government is very different.

The laws of Rayton are open to change, but the base laws are as…

When I opened up the PDF it provided several graphs showing death rates and…

sure I had the best care possible. Whenever I was in pain the nurses were there by my side. They had taken the time to make sure I was as content with my current status. I had never expected that going to the hospital from flying off a cliff on my skateboard would direct me into my future dream job. The nurses showed me what patient care really and truly was. Patient care is putting others in front of your own needs. Being a great nurse is showing your patient that there is hope. Patient care…

Why am I in College? “Who do you want to be when you grow up?” was a common question I heard. For an awful long time I didn’t know who I wanted to be until, I had to write a meaning of life speech for my high school senior english class.

I decided I wanted to be a successful Vet Technician, but to so so I would have to go to college. I am in college today to be a successful vet…

The hard work and dedication it takes to withstand the toll of this sport requires a determined spirit and a withstanding soul. Cheerleading has continued to show its extreme popularity among young women and men not only in the United States, but also across the world with a constantly growing number of countries that…

In the United States, there are over 70 million dogs and 34% of them are in our homes (Schlereth, 2016). How many of these dogs cannot experience unrestrained run and play safely?

Dog parks offer people and dogs many benefits that a community could make available to their citizens. Therefore, the community of Madison, Ohio should build a dog park because it will increase…

At a point during the ad there is a younger man who is riding on a skateboard and he grinds a rail. As he grinds this rail, paint shoots out behind him. The colors are yellow, green, blue, and orange. These colors give the viewer a sense of happiness and a thought of “wow that was creative.” This ad does a wonderful…
