Time

“A time-out is a well known discipline technique used to interrupt an unacceptable behavior; it is not intended to punish, but to give children the opportunity to calm down and regain self-control”( "Discipline & Guidance"). Using time outs are a much more effective way to discipline than spanking. Time outs really force the child to think about what they are doing rather than spending their time being scared for what they have done wrong. Simply speaking…

they are asked very little about what they should do ahead of time. What I mean by this is, something…

We were all sent by tables to go get our food. The food was great, which was no surprise since it was Famous Dave’s. By this time I had met family of my own that I didn’t know of and more of Brandon and Tina’s family. Everyone cared so much for every single person and made sure to make a conversation or get to know them all. Everyone danced and sang and had the best time of their life, especially the bride and groom. It was definitely not the most traditional first dance, but it just made the…

natural reference to dusk which is the time from day to night foreshadows to the reader that the persona will experience a movement from purity to adulthood. Harwood uses the motif of time as a medium to express the child’s ignorance. The rhetorical question Where’s morning gone?” is representative of child’s state of mind prior to the loss of innocence as it reflects the child’s naivety of how time has passed. The child subconsciously mourns the loss of time and describes it as the “thing I…

I, the worst of all Twenty first century, it is probably the best time for humans to live in. Now, we have curable diseases, technology that helps us in our everyday life and our living expectation is close to 80 years old. It sounds like we’ve accomplish a lot as humans beings, however, there’s still something that does not let us advance and become a unified society free of racism and sex stereotypes, the male gaze. Gay people and for the most part women, still the most affected with this…

Third, The bonding time. Bonding time is a fun way for both the parent and the child to get to know one another. It’s good for the both the child and parent to get to know each other because the parent could teach them life lessons among other things. In the article “Six reasons why everyone should hunt” by Keith Wood, it says “There are few better ways to spend quality time with your children than to take them away from the the computer or TV and show them where their food comes from (Wood).”…

college or going to be going to college? Let me give you this warning: you only get one shot to do it right! Who am I to say this? I have been to several huge universities (University of Texas and Arizona State University), I started over several times, went to several community colleges, strictly online colleges, joined all different kind of clubs, lived in different dorms, apartments, and at my parents while going to college, and got a bachelor’s and a master’s degree. Considered by many a…

affected negatively. For instance parents, yes of course homework lets them see what their kid is doing at school, which don’t get me wrong is good. But if I'm being honest, homework disturbs family life. It prevents students from spending quality time with their family or friends. Just imagine this, some students come home and they have to get out their pile of homework and sit on their butt for a few hours, instead of getting out a game to play and actually interact with other people like…

In the 21st Century, we are presented with an overabundance of events that we are innately programmed to try and understand (Buchanan, 1999). This overabundance, according to Augé, combined with the limited capacity to understand an overwhelming number of events at once, sets us up for failure, which Augé terms as a ‘crisis of meaning’ (Buchanan, 1999). Multiple signifying universes that demand our attention also confuse the terms local and global. Buchanan presents the example of a television…

Safety and security is a big time subject in the Probation Department. It is a way to make sure that all Probation Officers are safe and alive and well. One thing I have found out is that we need to be sure that we are both safe and secure in every situation. Today I Recruit McKnight was given a paper from Instructor Limbrick on safety and security because I failed to follow protocol due to lack of judgement and made a mistake by reporting without a partner. It was irresponsible of me to report…
