...Gandhi once said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” Growing up my father would always remind me to be grateful and recite this quote to my family. To show I am thankful for my good health, I have decided that for my CBSL I would like to train a service dog. My family has struggled with poor eyesight so I would like to help by adopting a Golden Retriever and train him or her to assist someone either within my family or outside of my family. The target group for my project will be the disabled and handicap. More specifically, these people will be struggling with eyesight issues. Many people have poor eyesight or another form of a disability, making my target group many people. My hope is that this service dog will be able to work well as a seeing eye dog. There are a large amount of people that I personally know that are in need of a seeing eye dog. This dog will go to someone that has poor eyesight and help them perform their day to day actions. Fortunately, I have the support of my family to adopt and train a dog to change someone's life for the...

...Dogs are those kinds of animals who have supernatural ability to determine if we feel sad or stress, happy or angry, and instead of staying away from it or ignore it, they look more attracted to it. Dogs do not keep notes and they are good listeners, and they help humans in many ways that humans themselves fail to do so. Dogs have the ability to connect to humans on emotional and spiritual levels. Now we can find dogs in everywhere, in hospitals, airports, police departments and schools, and they refer to us as service dogs. Comfort dogs and search and rescue dogs are two kinds of service dogs that I will write about, and I will focus on three main points in my discussion which is the differences and similarities between these two kinds, the purpose of each one them, the importance of the job for both of them....

...believe that a dog trainer should not be able to keep their service dog. The dog could be saving lives in the battle field instead of sitting home with its trainer. The dog can’t do anything for the army when its at home.That would also be a waste of money. The dog handler doesn't need the dog back so why should they get the dog back. I feel this way because if all wounded service officers got their dog back hundreds of thousands of military dollars would be wasted. This money spent on training dogs for the military could have been spent on new schools or houses for the homeless.And also why pay for a dog to be military trained if it's not going to be in the military. It is also a waste of the person's time that trained the dog. Also if the military paid for the dog and fo it to be trained why should the wounded service officer get it....

...Most people said that dogs are man's best friend and a great companion. They had been domesticated ever since the beginning of time. They are different breeds of dogs throughout the whole world and in this essay that I'm writing about, I'm going to compare and contrast three unique and one of some kind types of dogs that I chose to write about. They are the Basset Hound, the Chihuahua, and last but not least the Pit Bull. What makes these dogs so similar is that they are the most popular pets in the world. They ordinarily remain loyal to considerate masters, and because of this they have been called man's best friend. A dog fits easily into family life. When a master tells a dog that it is good, the animal happily wags its tail. But when a master scolds a dog, it skulks away with a sheepish look and with its tail tucked between its legs. Some dogs can herd animals in a farm, and some of them can also serve as watch dogs, or even as playful family pets. Dogs are even trained as guard dogs in peacetime by the U.S. Army and other military services. Because of their keen sense of smell, the police at times to track down escaped prisoners use dogs. Law enforcement agencies also rely on the dog's acute sense of smell to uncover illegal drugs. And specially trained dogs serve as the "eye of the blind, guiding steps of their sightless masters around obstacles and hazards. However there are some characteristics that make the Basset Hound, Chihuahua, and the Pit Bull different from...

Other breeds of dogs can attack people, these incidents go unmentioned in the news, even at the local level. They can also protect you by their barking.

...The essay assignment was to gather data about some aspect of food habits, and to compare the findings to some aspect of the book Good to Eat by anthropologist Marvin Harris. Write comments that will help the student reformulate this essay for another revision. In your comments, focus on 1) the argument structure, 2) the claims and their support, especially the integration of quotations, and 3) the overall organization of the paper. Does travel influence what's good to eat and bad to eat? Every culture has food taboos. Some, of course, have more than others. Asian countries such as China, Japan, and Thailand, for example, tend to have a more diverse cultural diet than do European countries. I conducted a survey to see how a country's food taboos correlate with the personal eating habits of those who have traveled there. I found that people who have traveled to Asian countries tend to have less food taboos than do those who have traveled to Europe. In fact, people who have traveled to Asia often could not cite one food that they refuse to eat. Everyone who has been to Europe on the other hand, could name at least one food that they personally consider to be inedible. I believe that the reason for this disparity can be found in the economic differences between the East and the West, and also, in the personal reasons people have for traveling to either Europe or Asia. Southeast Asians lack specific food types they refuse to eat. Besides the more conventional meats, i.e., beef, pork...

In this essay I will define the functions and role of law in business and society and discuss the functions and role of law in my present day job, which I military police officer for the United States Army. Laws are set so that business’ and society have to abide them to prevent chaos from happening within the business environment and local communities as well. First, laws are set in businesses so that they have rules and regulations they must follow to prevent them from taking advantage of their investors and customers as well. For example, because the market crashed due to large companies such as Enron, who lied about their financial stability, causing investors to keep dumping their hard-earned money into the owners and other stockholders of the company’s pockets. Another way law plays a large role within businesses is by preventing them from putting false advertisements out on commercials or billboards. For instance, if a company comes out with a cell phone saying that it can do a certain task and it does not that would be considered false advertisement, which could then lead to a lawsuit if pursued by the customers. This took...
