...Essay for english Everyone may think different reasons of why and why not boredom does or doesn't lead someone into trouble. Boredom does lead to trouble; this can be found for not only teens, but adults as well; however, boredom can lead some to find a new perspective about him/her. A kid decides to explore his family’s house, and then BAM, his mother/father is yelling at him because maybe he broke something or he wasn’t supposed to go in that room. This can bring about problems within the family and can be a result of a broken family. Lots of teens hang out with friends, and sometimes do stupid things. I think this because, since they were bored at home all day, and finally getting out with their friends, makes them want to do dumb things or act stupid and could lead them and their friends into big trouble. If teenagers are bored, they may start hanging out with the wrong group of “friends” just because it would seem to them to bring some entertainment. The same motivation can make them try and use cigarettes, alcoholic drinks or even drugs. Boredom often makes young people do something illegal to get their share of adrenaline. Boredom and peer pressure - these are the big culprits when it comes to teenage drinking, drugs, sex and violence. If they have enough knowledge they can also become very dangerous thieves and hack people’s credit cards or computers. This helps them focus their brain and get their sense of pleasure. If youths are not that intelligent, they might...

...things on this religious morning, like going to church or acting in a pious manner. In fact the apprentices are discussing getting the prettiest girls and the strongest beers. There is a student who is trying to pick up a common girl who he considers to be easy to get. He also feels that he would have a great day and all that is needed is “a beer with a head, tobacco that bites, and a girl like that”. Even the more elite in the society have other ideas in their minds that are not Christian or religious. The Burgher’s daughter is gossiping about the good looking boys who could have the best in their class yet choose to go after housemaids. Other girls who are approached by a witch, state that they can’t be seen with her yet speak of how the witch had looked into the crystal and foretold their futures and their future lovers ( who they are actively looking for). The Burghers are out and about also. One of them is complaining on the politics of the area while another is talking of war and foreign politics. Basically, this must be just an ordinary day of the townsfolk, yet Faust knows that it is Easter Morning and there should be a difference in everyone. Faust when he mingles with the folks does comment on the celebration going on and compares it to the spring that is awakening around him. When the townspeople see Faust they revere him and praise him. They offer up a drink to quench his thirst along with a toast to the great doctor. He politely accepts the drink yet...

...Explain the Buddha’s teachings and about the nature and ending of suffering. The Buddha taught people that life is imperfect and that it will be full of suffering and how it is unavoidable. He taught that the earth is plagued with it and that you will have to face it, however he did overcome it as he was able to reach nirvana. He also taught people the way of how they can do it as he taught them the four noble truths and of the eightfold path. He taught people about the nature of suffering in the form of Dukkha and the dissatisfaction of it and the ending of Dukkha in the form of nirvana. Dukkha is the first truth that the Buddha taught it is that life is suffering which is caused by craving i.e. life includes pain, getting old, disease, and ultimately death. We also endure psychological suffering like loneliness frustration, boredom, fear, embarrassment, disappointment and anger. It not only is this the suffering it is the dissatisfaction of the life of suffering that we have to endure and struggle through and that that unsatisfactory feeling is caused by Tanha which is craving. The other truths rest on this dissatisfaction of life and how we can over come it if we can life a dukkha free life. There are also three types of Dukkha which are Dukkha Dukkha, Dukkha Anicca and Dukkha Anatta. Dukkha Dukkha is the natural suffering that goes on in the world and that nothing in life is perfect. Dukkha Anicca is the most important Dukkha as it is the suffering that goes on because...

...hell, are extremely experimental and artificial. This essentially means that extracting the essence of emotion from a living, breathing person, makes it way stronger. That’s where N.U.M.B. comes into play. Neurotic and Unbalanced Mental Boredom, otherwise called “N.U.M.B.,” is a condition in which the brain can only experience boredom. Boredom, in this sense, can still be experienced by all people without N.U.M.B., however people with it are limited to only that. Nothing. Emptiness. These are the people they let have the seemingly sacred boxes. I check the clock once more. 6:45. I must’ve spaced out again. The delivery guy should be relatively close by now. I stand up and sit by the door, my icy coffee in my hands. My back slides down the wooden surface with ease, my body landing with a soft thump upon the floor. I am seen as one of the most boring and cold hearted people in my small community. When I learned about the service, I signed myself up. I didn’t know what to expect, to be honest. Within a few weeks, they contacted me, brought me in for some tests, and concluded that I was eligible. Had me sign a waver. Told me I did, indeed, have N.U.M.B., and that this service would be sure to cure me. What they fail to tell you, is that there is no cure, only the remnants of discarded feelings and the bits of people who come along with them. People are usually only willing to donate undesirables, and this being a tiny town in the middle of Missouri, those who frequently donate know who...

...By Dakota Patrick Do you find yourself bored after school? I believe that all students should participate in an extracurricular activity because they could use that skill in life, staying active, and do if you are bored and have nothing else to do. If you decide to do an extracurricular activity, for example, culinary arts, if you practice that in your time after school you would know how to cook for your family when you are of the age. Or In culinary arts you could be an professional chef who can make amazing meals that go for at least $200 for just one plate. Most professional chefs make a huge fortune by just cooking, and if it’s something you really enjoy, then get paid for doing something you love. If you decide to join the football...

...Module 4 Behaviour Management "Effective behaviour management is essential to the smooth running of a school and in the creation of an environment where everyone's rights and responsibilities are addressed. A balance between fundamental rights and responsibilities is at the heart of behaviour management" (Rogers, 2000 p.12). The school system and the community of people that constitute the school need to be the focus for intervention and change. As Rutter (1979) argued, positive and measurable outcomes in behaviour and learning can occur apart from the socioeconomic conditions of the children in school. Progress will be limited if the schools attitude and stance is "How can we be expected to develop good learning and behaviour when we have got kids like these in this environment." A recent survey reports that the majority of teachers consider 'home background' to be the most significant factor in 'problem behaviour' (Croll and Moses, 1985). The classroom climate has a huge impact on pupils motivation and attitudes to learning. A study by Wragg and Wood (1989) emphasises the importance of the first few lessons with a new class in establishing positive behaviour and fostering pupils intrinsic and extrinsic motivation towards learning. Jones and Jones (1998) formula - Motivation = expectation of success x expected benefits of success x work climate. Kyriacou (2001) claims that the classroom itself should be purposeful, task-orientated, relaxed warm and supportive with emphasis...

...Today, I look back through vague but wonderful memories, memories of childhood, memories my mother and I share. I remember playing games, cards and putting together puzzles which I still have stored in my attic. Did you ever know that "I Love Lucy" reruns were on at 3: 00 a.m.? On occasion I would run downstairs and wake my mom, who already knew that I had had a bad dream, and we'd watch together. She was very comforting. She showed alot of affection not only for me, but also for my brother and sister. All of us have experienced the same happiness our mother brought to our lives. In 1992 my best friend's mother died of cancer. It was a tragedy, but as usual, my mother used her power of healing and got his family back on their feet. I remember she cooked for the grieving husband and sulking kids for two weeks. If you asked my friends (or the community) about my mother, they would say, "That woman has a heart of gold." I agree one-hundred percent. I think the reason she is such a wonderful person is because the Holy Spirit resides within her. She is very holy and has persuaded me to go to church with her every Sunday for as long as I can remember. She belongs to the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) which gives people the opportunity to become part of the Catholic religion. About six years ago my mom decided that she wanted to pursue her lifelong goal of becoming a teacher. She knew it would be hard work raising three kids, doing housework, and studying at...

...Compare how Larkin and Abse write about unhappiness in their poetry. Both Larkin and Abse have written poetry which involves certain degrees of unhappiness, however, it’s clear that they have different views on what causes the emotion. Charles Hall said that it was “preferable” in Larkin’s view, “for everyone to resign themselves to their destinies and accept the implacable emptiness of their lives.” Larkin seems to have the perspective that unhappiness is generally and essential aspect of the human condition. Whereas Abse is generally optimistic, usually his unhappiness in his poetry is subjective, caused by rare moments in the family, or awareness of mortality. Larkin generally believes that unhappiness lies in the expectations of life and reality. One of his most common beliefs is that marriage and family can be the cause of unhappiness through the routine and repetition of life. This is seen in his poem “Afternoons”, a study of a conventional working class family life, where Larkin acts as the “knowing outside” according to Andrew Motion. It starts immediately with the imagery of “Summer is fading”, he gives the impression that the life of the people he’s observing is digressing from their youth to middle age. He focuses on the youth of the parents being replaced by their children “but the lovers are all in school”. There seems to be this idea that history is repeating itself from parent to child, almost as though their children simply act as a reminder to the aging...

...Alcoholism Alcoholism is a treatable disease and many treatment programs and approaches are available to support alcoholics who have decided to get help. The idea approach is to help people understand how much their alcohol use is harming their life and those around them. One important thing to remember; recovering from alcohol addiction is not an easy task and there is no medical cure only management.

People either try to fight this disease or just put their hands down preferring to think that nothing could be done. This paper investigates what drug addiction really is and why some people believe it is incurable. Primarily the main focus of the work is dedicated to the issue of how this challenge may be addressed and the basic factors that would help to make the treatment work. Various visions of this problem are studied, and the conclusion is that any disease is possible to cure however the success of these actions in what concerns drug abuse is mostly dependent on the willingness of the patient to fight the illness. Drug addiction is a global social problem, a war sweeping away millions of lives and demolishing national gene pools. There is no exaggeration in this definition. It is not a disease in a common sense of this word however it’s not a usual aspect healthy people may have. Drug abuse is a complete affection of the personality combined usually with the following complications of physical health.

...Part One: Being the director of a local new station, I would cover the local story first with a high recap of the celebrity death to follow. When people tune into the news, they want to know what is happening around them first. A celebrity death will make headlines on every kind of network, but the local happenings will only be the local newscast and be more vital. The park story will have more meaning to the people of the community and could affect the everyday happenings for them. With cities closing parks 3 days a week to save money, I would want to the communities to know why and how this will change their everyday lives and schedules. How was closing the parks 3 days a week chosen to save money or some other programs that could be out there. How is the closing of the parks going to affect the city workers jobs that maintain the parks? I would also want to inform the communities of why the money is being saved and what the funds are being used for instead. It would be important to inform the people of options that they may to help get the parks reopened if necessary or who they would try and petition to help with it as well. After covering the local community story of park closures, I would cover the celebrity death with as much accuracy as I could. People will continue to talk about the celebrity death for a long time, so it can be covered after the more pertinent local story. Celebrity stories tend to be very wide spread and have enough coverage with the different outlets...

...Though society has based most of its goals upon advances in technology, this may not be such a desired goal. Society in general has become less tolerant, much less motivated, and increasingly lazy. Many would like to think that the internet is the gold nugget of products to make them better educated and up to date on current events. People are beginning to expect things to be done quickly and efficiently, and people are becoming too focused on their goals. This is a problem in many areas of today's society. Motivation is also effected by way of goal oriented employers. They are more concerned with how the technology can provide better work, rather than the side-effects of boredom and lost motivation. Laziness is another element which can be caused by technology. New technology is provided, and people become dependent upon it. After this happens, people do not know how to get along without it. All of these factors are becoming more and more apparent, and are becoming all too common. This new wave of technology is making society to less motivated and lazier. Technology also causes many problems with motivation among people. When there is an easier way around a problem, obviously people are going to use this method. This causes people to begin to expect to do things in this way, and less thought and work are expected. This is a common problem among more than just under-motivated people. This can also be a problem among those who are in a situation where there is...
