racism, and discrimination in any area of our country, it opens a door for people to believe that it is acceptable and therefore, spreads across our country. Being a student in California and more specifically the Bay Area, I never felt the need to worry about harassment from other students or even strangers considering our school and area is richly diverse.…
success in the workplace. I have seen the way my parents have struggled finding well paying jobs when they have found themselves out of work and how not having a college education has limited them to what they are able to do. I never want to have to worry about not being able to find a job just because I do not have a college education or having to settle and do a job that I do not enjoy just to make ends meet like I have seen both of my parents go through throughout my childhood. A degree will…
Separation anxiety disorder involves the “excessive fear or anxiety concerning separation from home or attachment figures,” (APA, 2013). Separation anxiety usually emerges when the individual is a child and is actually a common stage of development in young children. However, if the anxiety continues and intensifies to the point of interfering with the child’s life, it becomes a disorder. In regards to diagnosis, the level of anxiety and fear must be significantly disproportionate to their…
Imagine someone waking up every morning and not having to worry about what to wear. They get up and their outfit is already picked for them. They do not have to worry about going to school and feeling different from the other students. They are able to feel good about themselves and others. This is what it feels like for students to wear school uniforms. “Uniforms have been a part of education for over a century” (Burkemper 18). There has been much positive feedback from the public school that…
33 Seek the Kingdom of God[a] above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. (Matt 6:33 nlt) I like the strange stories that pop up in the newspaper every now and then. I don 't want a steady diet of them, after all the news, and what is going on in the world is important. As a Christian its important for us to be informed on what is going on in the world. But lets face it, we can only take so much of the hard news before we begin to get overwhelmed…
When defining the American Dream there is not just one clear focus or definition that someone can find. The definition can be personalized from person to person and by what generation they are in. Some would think that from high school to age of retirement everyone would want the same thing in life. There are somethings that almost every person dreams of such as; freedom of speech, right to bear arms, education, and the right to protest. Just a few decades ago Americans were still fighting for…
I feel frustrated when: I often forget things and that frustrates me. I can forget names extremely fast as well as homework. I have stayed up very late sometimes because I forget my work and I wake up at three in the morning because I remembered too late. I even forget when others ask me for any sort of favor. When it comes to names of people, places, or events, I always fail. No matter who the person is, I have to know them for a long time before I get their names correct. When I’m driving and…
technically considered average, but in our school high B’s and A’s were far more common. This clearly shows how grade inflation has risen and continues to rise today, which worries teachers/professors. However, Jordan Ellenberg argues in his article, Don’t Worry Too Much About Grade Inflation, that there is no need for teachers/professors to worry that they are giving out too many A’s and contributing to grade inflation. In this review, we are going to dive into Ellenberg’s argument as well as…
almost lover, Ophelia, into thinking he is a lovesick crazy. Ophelia recounts the vision of Hamlet, "with a look so piteous/as if he had been loosed out of hell" worries about his sanity, tells her father, Polonius, about her encounter with Hamlet (2.i.92-93). Hamlet fools Ophelia into thinking that he is crazy, but Polonius, who only worries about his daughter, does not believe Hamlet 's performance. Polonius figures out Hamlet 's madness is fake, "though this be madness, yet there is method in…
that’s what’s interfering with how we experience life right now. We do fear becoming incapacitated, handicapped and dependent on others for basic needs - that’s terrifying. But relative to maintaining the semblance of a good day today, it becomes a worry for the future. So we live in the now, just getting by. CORE What you’re afraid could happen, is happening now. RA/PsA can lead to irreversible joint damage that cannot…
