My friends have helped me more than they probable know, and because of that I will always be grateful towards them and will always have a passion for them.

...such as girl problems. The two choruses are about mothers’ putting all of their fear into their children. The song deals with some various themes. Motherhood is the main theme, why it’s mentioned several times in the song, and the song often asks the mother what to do. It also deals with isolation, upbringing and overprotection. As children we always ask our mother what to do in different situations. We recognize her as an omniscient figure who always knows what’s best for us. So when we’re in doubt we always turn to our mother. But when we grow up we start to take care of ourselves and become independent. The song tells us about a person who hasn’t become independent. The mother has been overprotective, and hasn’t been able to let her son live his own unprotected life. This shows in the two verses where the song keeps asking the mother questions. In the first chorus, line 3, it says that “Momma’s gonna put all of her fears into you”, which means that even though we overprotect our children in good faith, we are might doing them a disservice by transferring some of our fears and nightmares. This will stop the progress in our community since nobody would dare to seek their own ways and develop their own ideas. Everybody would walk around like programmed robots, looking- and acting like each other. We would all just be another brick in the wall. The song also talks about a wall being built, and in the end it asks: “did it need to be so high?” This indicates some kind of isolation...

...fastest-growing restaurant chain in the US in 1991 and 1992. Along with the success, Hooter’s also faced many legal issues with regards to sexual harassment and unfair work practices. Although most cases were settled out of court, it seems as though the brand image withered due to several bad press in relations to employees complaints, one of which a store manager in California videotaped female Hooter’s girls changing in the locker room. As a result, this “Breastaurant” saw its market share decrease due to new and successful competitors such as Kilted Tilts, Twin Peaks among others. In its parent holding company Chanticleer’s March 2014 10K financial statement, it states it is currently operating at a loss, citing “failure by Hooters to protect its intellectual property rights, including its brand image” as one of the reasons. In the following analysis, the Porter’s Five Forces Model will be applied to the restaurant sector Hooter’s currently operates in, attempting to draw some conclusions and identify weaknesses within the company for sustainable growth. Analysis: Porter’s Five Forces Supplier Power: The restaurant industry, as well as the fast casual sector is a very competitive industry. Many of the foodservice suppliers are large companies who serve numerous businesses. Amount of suppliers may be...

...In the movie, The Best Years of Our Lives is about three soldiers adjusting to life after coming home from the war (WWII). In the film director William Wyler used an array of techniques to capture different feelings and emotions of each protagonist in the movie, as they adjust to life at home. In the bar scene where Al Stephenson and Fred Derry met to discuss Fred’s relationship with Al’s daughter, Peggy. In a wide shot view at the beginning of the scene when Fred walks into the bar, the viewer can see Al sitting in the booth at Butch’s bar then Fred walks in, into the bar in the background. Fred eventually takes a seat with Al in the booth, when Al’s Face comes into view finally He's background is dark as if he is coming from the shadows, this is different because throughout the film Al has this bright aura to him. In an over-the-shoulder shot the camera focuses on Al asking his friend if he loved his daughter Peggy, then the camera focused back onto Fred in another over-the-shoulder shot as Fred tries to process what Fred is asking of Al. When Fred answers Al with a Yes, that he did love Peggy, the view becomes a two shot view. Now both Al and Fred are in the shot, and the viewer can see both recations form each protagnoist.

...aware to me that a Heart has become available for one of the three canidents on our Transplant list. After extensive consideration, it is my recommendation that the newly found heart be given to Jerry. Jerry is a better fit for this transplant; he has better chances and a better outcome with getting the transplant. After reviewing Ozzie’s chart, I felt as though he would not be a good recipient for this heart. I really appreciated the fact that he has been tutoring and mentoring to the youth, and he has signed a contract stating that if he got the transplant he would continue to tutor and stay clean for at least a year after the transplant. My concern is what happens after that year? The benefits to Ozzie getting the transplant would be he can continue to tutor the at risk youth that he has been helping and continue to make a difference in their lives. The harms of Ozzie getting this transplant would be him having a relapse and only waiting out that year before he began to use again. Even though this transplant would give him another 10 years or so to live Ozzie also has Recidivism which is sever with abuse and if he were to return to using again it would be a waste of the heart and he would die in a matter of months. Ozzie is a 38 year old man who has already wasted his life away on the choices that he has made with drugs, and I think he has been blessed to have found this shelter to help him live out the rest of his life clean. Before even reviewing Lisa’s chart the first...

...is a dangerous problem impacting on our life in the long term, so we must protect them because they are part of our life system. We can do many things to protect endangered species; for example, saving wildlife habitat and joining a conservation organization. Although there is many ways to protect the animals, the most important way is how we ensure our next generation plays a strong role in this issue, which I will discuss below. As teachers and parents we have to encourage our students to protect the animals. We can make a trip to a zoo or start a research project to explain to our students why we have to save the animals by showing a specific example, such as the tiger. Then, we need to give them statistics to demonstrate the threat to tiger populations. According to National Geographic writer Caroline Alexander (2014) In Asia’s 13 tiger countries, there are less than 4000 tigers dispersed among them. (Alexander 2014). Although the author traveled to many tiger habitats in Asia, like remote forests, tropical woodlands and mangrove swamps, she never saw a tiger because of the animal’s “legendarily secretive nature”. However, the other reason for not see tigers is that tiger landscapes don't have many tigers (Alexander, 2014). Also, she said that people who have survived a tiger attack say that it “came from nowhere” (Alexander, 2014). Studying the danger of the extinction tigers will encourage young people to understand how tigers impact our life and what the consequence will...

...Saunders Subject: English Topic: “Should parents control the lives of their teenage children” Good morning teachers and students of the Basseterre High School. I wish to take this opportunity to share my position on the following question, should parents control the lives of their teenage children? It is most important that parents should have a very integral part in their children lives to guide and to mould them so that they can become respectful and loyal human being in society. As the bible teaches us as parents “we should train up our children in the way they should grow that when they are old they will not depart from it” (it meaning what they where thought as children growing up). To be respectful of other, as they are of themselves, be patient, forgiving, kind, loving, thoughtful. Our society does not like unruly nor disrespectful children. They do not fit into society when they are misbehaved and become delinquent children. They will be seen as trouble makers and as such do not fit well into society. It is very vital for parents to control the lives of their children. Parents need to help them to develop good decision making skills and to provide security both physically and emotionally. Parents are obligated to provide food, clothing and shelter for their teenage children. Therefore, if parents are the ones providing the necessities of life they should have full control over their children lives as teenagers. Teenagers are very dependent on their parents...

...Sean Matthews Professor Murray English 137 December 3, 2014 Changing Our Constitution to Protect the America Flag America is known for being the land of the free and the home of the brave. Numerous of Americans have lost their lives trying to keep our rights the same for years to come. It is my belief that the flag should not be protected under a constitutional amendment as it could take away your freedom of speech, as the flag is only a symbolic representation of America and making a big change in the constitutional amendments may not be accepted by many Americans. We are protected by constitution, and the First Amendment States “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances”(The Bill of Rights, the U.S. Constitution). To me that states that as long as you express your feelings toward the flag or any other symbolic protest is done in a peaceful manner, under the constitution you have the right to do so. As we are currently seeing right now around the county with the multiple protest that our nation are demonstrating daily against the decision of the Ferguson police officer, many have been peaceful and in order, on the other hand many have been completely out of line and for that arrest have been made for breaking the law of the constitution . If the constitution...

...Gun Control Laws Do Not Work Across the United States there have been many shootings and attacks. The most recent being in San Bernardino California where 14 innocent lives were taken. Most of these shootings are in schools, state buildings, movie theatres etc. Every public mass shooting in the USA since 1950 has taken place where citizens are banned from carrying guns. There are ways to end these people going on killing sprees once and for all. Many law abiding citizens are experienced and comfortable with a firearm. Imagine these people being able to take their concealed weapons into places that are now “no gun zones”. This would act as a deterrent against the people who go on killing sprees. At the least, law abiding citizens could save lives and protect themselves and others from sick individuals who have no regard for society. At a state level our country needs to get rid of mo gun zones. There are some individuals who are going to do what they please. All schools have rules that state “firearms are prohibited”. This sign does not stray psychopaths and or terrorists away from going in and shooting the whole school up. We need a good deterrent for these criminals. We need a way to protect ourselves against these people. In place we already have laws that allow us to have a conceal and carry license. In Missouri one must be 19 years of age and you must go through a background check with no felonies appearing on your record. Having a conceal and carry allows...

...As part of our nation’s Bill of Rights, the First Amendment passed on September 25, 1789, in efforts to protect our religious freedoms and rights. The First Amendment states, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. (US Constitution) This freedom established by our fore fathers continues to be important not only to me but to everyone in our society. So, what does the First Amendment guarantee? It helps to protect freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition. Our nation’s lawmakers, Congress, cannot promote one religion over another nor restrict an individual’s religious practices. The First Amendment allows for freedom of expression. It does not allow Congress to restrict the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely. It also guarantees the right for people to gather peacefully and to petition their government. The importance of religious freedom has been around a very long time. During our nation’s settlement, the pilgrims sought religious freedom. They wanted to find a place to settle,...

...shooting in Aurora, Colorado and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Between these two mass shootings, thirty-nine individuals were killed but the whole country was affected (Ehrenfreund). Many feared for their lives and questioned their safety in public places, especially in schools. Following the shooting in Newtown, a nationwide debate took place about the possibility of stricter gun control laws (“U.S. Mass Shootings”). Gun control activists believe that removing or radically altering the 2nd amendment will solve America’s issue of gun violence, but doing so is not the answer. Citizens have the right to own guns, most...

...Was the world a better place to live in 50 years ago or is it better now. Personally the world is a better place and a much safer place now. The world has drastically changed from 1964 to 2014. Women’s rights, civil rights, medicine and child protection programs have been developed and somewhat perfected in this era. What makes the world a better place to live? One thing that is very important is the law. The law has to be fair to every citizen no matter what origin of race, nation or creed. The law must protect its citizen and help immigrants from other countries who need a better opportunity from the country they seek refuge from. The law has to envelop a type of mechanism to protect itself from corrupt officials or senators with harmful ambitions. The law must act swift and punishments must be carried to show the public that the law will be enforced no matter the status. Whether the person is rich or poor, black or white they need to all be under the law, everyone. Another thing that makes the world a better place to live is the effort or maximum opportunities to get a living, education and well-being to live such as medicine. The world would be a very difficult place to live if there wasn’t any opportunities for a living to get a job or own land or even raise children. Another important need is everyone should have opportunity to go to school get an education not only the aristocracy. The aristocracy and their families should not be the only people who can have an opportunity...
