...dami sa inyo na iniisip ang mga bata. guess what. minsan, mas magiging matino ang bata kung maghihiwalay ang magulang niya. gusto niyo ba talagang lumaki ang isang bata sa isang household kung saan puro sigaw at, malamang, violence? hindi ba mas dangerous iyon sa growth ng isang bata? wouldn't it be better for him to see his parents living happy, for him to be living in a happy and safe environment? also fuck the sanctity of marriage! nakatira tayo sa isang society na may reality shows tulad ng the bachelorette. kung saan ang mga taong hindi talaga magkakilala ay pwedeng magpakasal (as long as straight sila--but that's another bill for another time). hindi rin naman natutupad ang mga vows na sinasabi ng mag-asawa. it's a useless institution, valuable only because of the legal rights that come with it. annulment isn't enough. there is no alimony, no nothing. it's also expensive and so so hard to go through, which is something the poor--the people this bill would help--wouldn't/couldn't go through. we need this bill. we're living in the 21st century, not the 18th. (a time where, incidentally, divorce was legal) 1 I also believe that divorce is not the only solution to broken marriages. If we have battering husbands then, what is prison for? Prison is a place for a person to change. If you think that you don't love your partner anymore then maybe, you only recognize love as a sudden infatuation. If you think like that, then I think we should mature more. And if you have...

...relationship its a funny thing really. Understanding the mind will give you a closer look at relation the SHIP is simply who you want on your ship. We all learn Love through the feelings we have in our childhood. From watching our parents our siblings and friends to watching love movies, Love songs, even from the dirty little adult films we watch growing up. It builds us to be the adults we are today. People tend to think a woman behaves like women and a man behaves like men. I disagree Men and Women both act the same its just in any relationship a Woman has more "pull" for she is a woman. Regardless of what religion tells you what I do know is every human being on this planet came from a Woman yes ladies even you. Men we sometimes have a hard time dealing with this because there are women who take advantage of the fact. So with religion its simply balanced to say a woman was made from a mans rib. A woman wants love but response to a man being disrespectful or not interested balanced with a "I love you". A man wants love but response to a woman when she pushes him away or steps on his love like its not good enough balanced with a I'd like you to try harder. From both perspectives its simply a tomato twomato thing. Truth is we get scared to Love some one so much because we don't want to over power that feeling on others in our life we love such as family. So what is the balance of over Powering love, well thats easy something to revolve around, such as hobbies, kids, gossip,...

...get his take on what constitutes a good style and what it’s going to take for you to start improving yours. Remain Calm: Although the different elements that constitute a good style are often difficult to define, above all, poise and a sense of casual carelesness in conditions of consequence are paramount. “To me, good style is about being in tune with the ocean, timing, nonchalance, vision, and just being relaxed,” says Anderson. If your surfing can make light of backbreaking conditions, you’re already building a solid foundation to becoming a more stylish surfer. According to Anderson, it’s all about simply giving the appearance of not struggling. Although it seems like a catch-22, at a fundamental level, it’s about taking the difficult and making it look easy. “Surfing is an art, not a sport. You can’t try too hard, you’ve got to enjoy yourself.” Make It Your Own: Each surfer brings their own subtle nuances to the lineup that inevitably attribute to their own style. Although you can pore over videos of Fanning and Parko, at the end of the day, your own style can never truly mimic someone else’s, and it’s important to relish in your individuality. “Even though I grew up watching surfing vids a bunch when I was younger and I always had my favorite surfers to watch, I dont think I ever really tried to copy them,” says Ando. “I don’t think it’s really even possible. Everyone’s style is gonna be different. It’s all about being comfortable and enjoying what you like and everyone...

...ruined a family, broke their hearts, and took a loved one away from them forever? After his victim is six feet in the ground, to never be found, or if they lived, to be scarred for the rest of their lives and to never be able to trust anyone the same ever again because of what they've been through? Well in my opinion they shouldn't. They should be given the death penalty because they took an innocent life on purpose just to satisfy his needs so his life should be taken as well. He should not only get sent to prison but get the death penalty as well. i think there are two different types of murderers. There's the murderer that lives for killing and likes chopping the body parts of his victim or even likes eating them. They plan their murder to the very last detail, maybe they know their victim or maybe they don't, but they know exactly how much time they are going to spend with them and how they are going to kill them; these are called premeditated murders. Then there are the types that act in the moment of anger or of fear and dont realize what they are doing until they have already done it. I dont think that this type of murderer deserves the death penalty but they do deserve some time in prison to pay for what he or she did if it wasnt in self-defense. Many people think that if a murderer is sent to prison for life that he is going to stop killing, but there is no guarentee that a murderer is going to stop killing once he is in prison. If he or she gets life in prison without...

...daughter attempted suicide later that same night. In the days that followed, it came to light that she’d been holed up in her dorm room, crying and showing signs of depression — a completely different reality from the one that she conveyed in texts, Facebook posts and tweets.As human beings, our only real method of connection is through communication. Studies show that only 7% of communication is based on the written word and a staggerring 93% is based on nonverbal body language. Evidently, it’s only when we can hear a tone of voice or look into someone’s eyes that we’re able to know when the typical response of “I’m fine” doesn’t mean they’re fine at all. Goodmorning Ms.Phillip and class. Today, I would like you to ask yourself at what cost has technology replaced personal interactions? and I will present the reasons why the use of social media is sabatoging the ability of teenagers to properly communicate with one another. First and foremost, texting as a form of regular communication is dangerous, because how well can one communicate via text?Yes, it`s quicker than calling or getting together with eachother but because of sacrificing time for convenience, we miss out on the flow of conversation. Without the face to face interaction, we don`t get to listen to the tone of their voice, or watch the change in their facial expressions or the movement of their gestures. In doing so, we are limiting ourselves to express our thoughts in a set amount of words on text and a complete lack...

...message in all possible ways. With the internet nowdays being such a vast communication tool there always seems to be some what miscommunication. Messages not being recieved/ or lost , you can never tell the tone behind the message that is used. With the lack of tone you really dont know what the person really feels about the subject at hand. That makes it very hard for me to get a good feel for things. I was always told by my father " look me in the eye when you talk to me ". I have carried that rule with me all my life, in business, in school, and so forth. When you see a person in the eye you can even look for specific body language that can help distinguish if the person is interested or not, or if the person is understanding you or not. Before I remember we used to send letters back and forth to people and loved ones overseas, now its simply replaced by phone calls. To be more modern now its the Internet using chat clients or VOIP ( Voice over IP ) such as Skype, Yahho or MSN Messenger. Things in life have gotten much easier for us to do with the new electronical and technological innovatiosn that use the Internet. I must add thos that communication with texts over the phone is extremely stressfull because you have no clue whaat the other person on the other end is interpreting things and what they mean with the message that they are trying to convey. I think the modes of communication whether it’s verbal, written, or electronic influence the interpretation of a message...

The other items in the room - clock, vacuum cleaner, television etc - are old, tatty and cheap. Dennis is sitting flicking through a book. To stage-right is the front door of the flat, leading to the communal corridor. Archie enters stage-right, in the corridor, paces for a moment, and then stops outside the door of the flat. He takes a breath, lifts his hand, and knocks. Dennis looks up, evidently not expecting anyone. He puts his book down and answers the door.) Archie: (Quickly, nervously) Hello! Dennis: Hi.

...for it. What is love,exactly? What is hidden beneath love's surface? What does love create? How do you unlock more opportunities for it? For these essantial questions my answer would be different as other people because we are unieqe. This simple word defined at dictionary with different definations such as a profoundly tender,passionate affection for another person or it is a feeling of warm personal attachment , as for a parent,child , or friend or sexual passion and disere but Barbara Fredrickson doesn't think that these definations are different. She says proposing a general theory of love rather than how love might be specifically experienced within a domain. This is a bold and radical approach. Fredrickson believes that love, as defined by these moments of positivity resonance, is the same whether the moments occur between parent and child, friends, lovers, or total strangers. Without a doubt, Fredrickson believes these experiences are, in her words, “virtually identical." In my view firstly people wait to be discovered deeply in their heart and also love is a priceless diamond because a diomand has thousands of reflections and each reflection represents a meaning of love but firstly we have to find true love and this way has various processes.People love many times and they are different than each other.For me I loved first my father and mother because they grew up me without any expectations.This caused to love them and then while I was in kindergarden I loved a...

...AS ITALIAN 2015 LESSON REVIEW AND EXAM GUIDELINES Speaking section The 15 minutes preparation time – as quoted by the excel examintation board and I fully support the same opinion my notes are in brackets() . Before the Unit 1 test, students will have 15 minutes to study a stimulus text linked to the general topic area they have chosen. Students must not write on this stimulus, but can make notes on a separate piece of paper. (Notes on key words you have or want to use- these were previously learnt by you). Both the stimulus and any notes must be taken into the exam room, and students can refer to these at any point during the test. (Preferably not for higher marks but if needed referring to them wont be an issue) However, students must not refer to dictionaries or any other resources during the preparation time. (You wont need a dictionary at this point so no problem here right!) * Begin by reading the entire text through (two, three or even 4 times) * Make bullet point notes of the main points of the text * Make a note of any vocabulary from the text which might be useful in discussion of this topic * Do not waste time writing out complete sentences; you will not be allowed to read out long prepared statements anyway (marks are awarded for spontaneity and fluency so please try not to use your notes) * Consider the types of questions which might be asked about the text, and your answers to these questions * Identify any vocabulary you already...

...you know that you carry a lethal weapon with you wherever you go? And it would be impossible for anyone to make you check it at the door, because it is attached to your body. I read somewhere that death and life are in the power of the tongue...what an amazing statement! and further...the tongue is full of deadly poison. Hum, frightening. Gossip is like a fired bullet, once you hear the sound, you can't take it back. Evil speech can destroy friendships, break up marriages and ruin businesses. Gossip-negative talk, put-downs, rumors, accusations, not only hurt the person being talked about, it also hurts the person speaking and the person listening. The truth is, gossip has been around since the beginning of humankind and continues to be a popular but destructive past time. "Le congossa" is unfortunately one of our favourite activities back home. Women and now more and more men are making it their hobbies. Too many people believe it’s their job to stick their nose in your business. Like they live such perfect lives. The reasons behind nosiness and gossiping has so much to do with folks not feeling their lives are interesting enough or are so unhappy with their lives, they believe getting into other people’s business is more exciting than getting things straight in their own lives. The story of what happened to a family in a small North London community illustrates this truth. The mother had not been well since the birth of her second baby, but everyone knew she did all...

...methods, also known as qualitative methods. Qualitative methods are any type of methods that aim to undercover the meaning of social action rather than measuring it. Qualitative research allows to search for the meaning for participants of events, situations and actions. Interpretivist argue that a full understanding of society can only be presented by understanding how individuals build up their patterns of interactions. This type of research usually studies small scale groups in specific situations, which allows the researchers to preserve the individuality of each in their analyses. This provides them with a detailed understanding of the events, actions and meaning. In contrast to positivist research, qualitative researches dont necessarily have an idea of what they are looking for in a research, but instead, start with a particular area of interest and follow the lead, which leaves them much more open for the unexpected and fresh ideas; This is refer to as “grounded theory”. Lastly, interpretivist researchers are interested in the actual dynamics of the situation, the process, rather than patterns that could be generalized. The first interpretivist method to be analyze is Ethnographic research, also known as Observational research. In order for it to...
