The Stack

Single-parent families are often stigmatized in our society because people make assumptions about them that aren’t true. Our society doesn’t expect much from single mothers or their children because they are viewed as incapable or problematic due to the stigmas and labels attached to their identity (McDaniel & Tepperman, 2015). Furthermore, single mothers are also seen as “harmful to society, uneducated, unmotivated, and on welfare or some form of public assistance”, but in reality, 80% of…

what direction I'm traveling in, but on a more personal than professional basis. We (the students) were given flashcards in five different colors, and each color had a total of six cards in the stack. So six blue, six red, and so on until color number five. We were assigned categories for each color stack as follows, material values, people we value, places we value, memories we value, and goals we value. The instructor encouraged us to choose at least six values…

Camillo Golgi, an Italian scientist was the first to discover it and named it after himself. They are membrane bound organelles which are shaped like a sack. The Golgi is made up of stacks of membrane-bound structures. At each end of the stack there is a face which helps with the function of the Golgi. One end of the stack is called cis face and the other end is called tans face. The cis face controls what goes in and the Trans face controls what goes out therefore the cis face will be located…

Texas governor’s power is in a 4 way at 39th out of the 50 states in the United States (Champagne). Though Texas governors have various executive, legislative, and judicial powers they have little when comparing to other states in the U.S. This is due to the plural form of government the Texas Constitution of 1876 rules for the governors. This form of government poses many problems but also has its benefits. One of which is the allowance for more democracy. The governor of Texas has limited…

Crime is a common yet concerning structure of society. With many types of crimes, sociologist work to discover why certain crimes occur. Through research and examination, we get sociological theories of crime. The theory I chose to explore in hopes to explain property crime was Anomie. Anomie is thought to be the instability a society or individual holds due to a lack of values or inability to meet societal pressures. Anomie can be caused by unemployment, racial or immigrant inequality, or other…

Images play a major component in advertisement since images are the first thing a viewer sees at the start of an ad. Geico used such an image when it placed an image with a stack of cookies next to one cookie in the ad. In an attempt to prove the effectiveness of images in advertisements I conducted two interviews with two separate participants at different times using the same images both times. In both interviews, two advertisements…

react to a mess. He refers to the subjects as X and Y. He states that what may seem messy to X, could be perfectly neat and orderly to Y. Hollander even goes as far to say that if Y had a pile a books, and X arranged all the books into a neat stack, the neat stack could appear to be utter chaos to Y. After this profound example, the article continues to go on and list all the different kind of messes that exist in our lives. Hollander breaks the messes into different categories such as outdoor…

I had a hard time understanding these concepts; I think if more time was spent on the explanation it would have helped. Stacks (2007) states, “The most significant way to generate more money through your front-desk staff is a good working knowledge of yield- and revenue-management concepts.” (Stacks, 2007, p.18). I think by explaining these concepts employees can better sell rooms and bring in revenue. Personally, I felt that they didn’t touch base on this…

Positive definitions are such as work problems, personality disorder and marital disruption etc. Negative definitions are such as take counseling for find alternatives to suicide. To sum up, excessive amount of positive definitions can cause imitative suicidal behaviour (Stack, 2005).…

found guilty of three felony counts of sexual assault and only spent three months in jail, far less than the maximum fourteen years that he could have faced (Stack). Even though he raped an unconscious woman, Brock Turner was only sentenced to six months because, according to the judge: “A prison sentence would have a severe impact on him” (Stack). The judge also…
