...variables, when there is an increase or decrease in one variable what effect does it has to the other variable (Triola, 2010). In this research the author looks on the relationship between a person who do not sleep or get quality sleep and their body weight. There was a study which highlighted a correlation between lack of sleep and increase in body weight. In the study with the women 40 – 60 years old, it was concluded that after studying their eating and sleeping pattern for 5-7 years women who had trouble falling asleep gained approximately 11 pounds. In the other study with the younger men, they studied their sleeping patterns for two consecutive days one day eight hour sleep and the other day four hour sleep. The researchers reported an increase in calorie intake (approximately 560 more) after sleeping for four days significantly more than the person who slept for eight hours. The two variables we have in this scenario is lack of sleep and increase in body weight, for these two variables to be correlated they must be linked or dependent on each other. Although the writer shows studies to show that when there is lack of sleep there is increase in appetite there can be other variables that determine the results such as location, body mass, individuals’ state of mind and age. According to the text the relationship between these two variables is weak and negative. The study is not conclusive because there is no data to prove that an increase in sleep will reduce weight. Although...

...Optimism vs. Pessimism We all know that we have been around all types of people in our lives during different circumstances. There are people who look at all the good things in this world and there are people who always seem to be upset. Some people look at the bad things regardless of the things that they are doing. The people who look at good things are being optimistic and the ones that look at the bad are called pessimistic. These types of people approach life in work, school, and relationships in different ways. For example, an optimist is happy to have what they have accomplished in life, and a pessimist is upset or finds excuses about their life. We are around these types of people daily, but it’s up to us to decide whether we see our lives in an optimistic or pessimistic way. Everyone makes mistakes from time to time and fail in something. In the workplace optimist seem to find success even when something fails. We know that nobody is perfect, yet the effort you put into your job is what the outcome will be. For example, if you arrive on time every day to work and do a good job, it’s likely you will receive a raise when the time comes. On the other hand, a pessimist would be really upset if a mistake occurs. They spend their time complaining about how they failed and why they wouldn’t try to fix the problem. They always seem to find an excuse about something. School can be hard for many students, especially if they struggle through it. This makes it hard to develop...

...the Different between a Good and a Bad Relationship? Jennifer Ren’ay Middleton English Composition 1 Instructor: Name Date What are the Different between a Good and a Bad Relationship? How do we make it work? Sometime we look at each other as if we are about to lose our minds. But on the other hand we care so much about that one person that we can’t see the right from the wrong. How do we deal with the differences that you all have? Why do we want to always see the good and not the bad? These are question that most of us have when we think about trying to have a relationship with someone. In this paper, I will try and tell you the differences’ we have in our relationship and what when and how we can try to make it better. But remember that there’s no such thing as a perfect relationship. Loving that person if it feels right it might not be right, or it may be wrong but remember that anything that is worth having is worth fight and working hard to have. At some point and time, it happens to everyone: You wake up one day and suddenly your once-blissful relationship is shattered. The spark is gone. The love of your life wants nothing to do with you. You may have recently split up. You might be in the middle of a divorce right now. Or maybe your ex is already seeing someone new. It doesn’t matter. All you want is to have your partner willingly back with you. Life isn’t all sunshine and buttercups. But a happy relationship is a very real thing; we all deserve...

...Environmental Chain Reaction Environmental Chain Reaction Human nature is what makes people real and shapes who they are. It is composed of their thoughts, feelings, behaviors and beliefs. This allows for others to see what type of person someone is based off how one may act. It is human nature to judge others by their actions and not be aware of influential factors like the environment that have shaped a person the way they are. For this paper, I will express my opinion on how the environment is the driving force behind feelings, behaviors, thoughts and beliefs strictly based on my own life experiences. Based on that I will conclude as to why people seek therapy and what my role as a counselor is. This is an evaluation of my own life philosophies that will give me a better understanding of my own personal theory. Personality Freewill versus Determinism Life is full of opportunities, what someone will make of them is mainly up to their determinism. I believe that sixty percent of determinism makes up a person’s personality while the other forty percent is free will. It is my opinion that free will has to originate from someone’s genuine desire for change. I believe that many people lack free will because it takes a lot of will power from within; something that people struggle with.. This is why I believe that determinism plays a bigger role in a person’s personality because before a person can do things on their own, their environment and or biology are the...

...Huck Finn is described as being “the juvenile pariah of the village who is “hated and dreaded by all the mothers of the town.” According to all the adults, he is “idle and lawless and vulgar and bad,” and they restrain their children from even associating themselves with him (42). Based on what I have learned about Huck through Ch. 29, this is not an accurate description of him. This is because he is a good person with some admirable traits such as judging others fairly and being loyal to his friends. In the book “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”, Huck is described as being fair to judge others. Some examples include Muff Potter and Uncle Jake in which he judges them fairly and he doesn’t base his judgement on what society thinks of them. He judges Muff based on what he has done for him and the other children. At one time in the book, Huck says that Muff gave him half of a fish when there was barely enough to feed on person and how Muff had repaired the children’s kites when they needed to be repaired....

They sailed through the James River and then disembarked near the James River. What they did not know was that they were not alone; there were at least 15,000 Powhatan Indians living in small villages. Furthermore, one reason that can have caused many deaths could have been because of the drought that they had to live through. According to Doc B, in the years, 1600 and 1610, Jamestown suffered the longest unbroken period of drought....

...The subject of sex is that alot of people are talking about it, doing it, and everyone wanting it. Truth be told is that some people that are not married that’s doing it; but there are also are people that are doing it (with other people). Take this example, one is with their significant other and they’re thinking about taking their relationship to the next level. They’re thinking about having sex before marriage. They perform the act and have a good time with each other. What they don’t realize is that unexpected circumstances can occur. Such things like unexpected pregnancy, emotional baggage, diseases, and many other things. So with that said, having sex before marriage is detrimental because it creates negative consequences for both persons. Now, let’s go into the first reason why sex before marriage is detrimental. The first reason why sex before marriage is detrimental is because if you do not wait, you’ll miss out on that special woman on the way. You settle for less. And now to make it right, you decide to marry them. Someone that you should've probably never married. And then the one that you should've married comes walking in and you say to yourself, "I should've waited". Now that you're at home arguing with the one you should've never been with because the sex committed before marriage has caused you to settle for less. The wedding night has been designed for the conservation when two people who have held their belief to have sex after marriage. The bed symbolizes...

... Introduction The Good and Bad Effects of Peer Pressure to Teenagers Peer pressure is commonly applied to younger people especially to us teenagers. Responding to peer pressure is a part of growing up that some teenagers more likely to give in. Peer pressure is the only thing that all teens have in common and some of them can't escape it because it’s almost everywhere. Peer pressure is the way that people influence another individual to take an action or adopt certain values to be one of their social groups. Teenagers are very quick in making their own decisions and judgements. When communication is lacking at home, teens may seek it among their peers instead to their parents for them they know that their peers are always right because they're feeling what you also feel. You think all of you have a lot in common. This outcome indicates that teens may find it more difficult to control their behaviors when their friends are around. They are visible and expressive when it comes to their peers but when it comes to their own parents they are invisible. They always keep in their minds that their parents will never understand them as their peers do. In the bright side, it can also have a positive effect. Peer influence is not necessarily bad at all times. Fellowship with other youths can also sharpen our personality and make us a better person. They can also be a good instrument for us teenagers if those peers have mature and healthy attitudes. They...

...What better way than social media? Most people use things like Facebook, twitter, Myspace, emails, and Skype. When your single and looking to date or a way to meet new people you also use social media, such as eHarmony, match or other dating sites. Social media has made it very easy, and plays a big role in our lives every day, but does it affect your personal relationships? How did the world communicate before cell phones, internet, and e-mail? We used a land line to call people if we wanted to talk. We used the postal services and sent thing though the mail. If something was really important we faxed documents. If you wanted to meet new people you went out and socialized. Many decades of people communicated and had relationships without social media. Before social media if you wanted a job you went out and went job hunting. Now if you want a job you just pick up the computer and look at sites online. You fill out applications on line and wait for the phone calls. The new age of social media has made socializing very easy, but do you really know who is on the other end of the message you just sent? Social media is a new way to get information from people and use it for other things. You have been talking to this guy for six months, and you believe that you are in love. Now this guy is asking you to send him money, so you send him some money just to find out you have been talking to a girl. Social media has made it hard to trust people in the world.

...Catholic, I have been exposed to religion my entire life. I went Catholic schools from nursery school, all the way up until college and have observed all of the different levels of religiousness people display. I look at religious belief as a spectrum. On one side there are those who are infatuated with religion and God almost on an unhealthy level. As you work your way down the spectrum you begin to experience people who are less in love with religion and God, and more cynical about the whole thing. Here we come across Agnostics, who feel as if it is impossible for them to know if there really is any divine being out there. And finally, on the complete opposite side of the spectrum we have the Atheists, who believe that there is no God, no divine spirit out there and it is all just a show. When looking at the attachment figure that the Attachment Theory shows us, it seems as if God would be the perfect, textbook example of an attachment figure. For most religions, God is seen as a guardian, who knows the best for you, is always listening, and never leaves you in a time of need. Therefore, it makes sense to draw a parallel between someones relationship with their real life attachment figure, who would most likely be the Mother or Father, and the relationship that person develops with God. The Attachment Theory offers three different types of people, the secure person, the anxious person, and the avoidant person, and I am very interested in seeing how and why these people behave when...

...Sean Butler 4/4/16 Professor Stringer Criminal Justice System How Crime is good for Society Ever since the first use of national crime statistics came out in 1934, there have only been 16 years where the crime rate declined, eight of those years being after 1992. So basically, crime is all around us, all the time. Interestingly though, the evidence shows that,” our most sustained drop in crime, neatly coincides with the longest economic expansion in U.S. history has led some experts to insist there's a connection between the two.” (Leher, Eli.) That’s contradictive of beliefs though, at first you would think crime rates should drop and fall regarding the countries economics. After looking at the data though, there’s little evidence to suggest that good economic times have an effect on the crime rates. Crime is good for society because it determines the economic trend, how crime benefits the economy, it sets boundaries on what is right and wrong, and the philosophers and their views on crime. Between the years of 1955-1972, as the US economy flourished, with a mild recession in the beginning of the 1960s. By the time they reached the 1970s, “crime rates had increased over 140 percent. Murder rates had risen about 70 percent, rapes more than doubled, and auto theft nearly tripled.” (Leher, Eli.) A bad economy doesn’t necessarily indicate more crime though, “Crime rates fell about one third between 1934 and 1938 while the nation was struggling to emerge from the Great Depression...

...Good Boss vs. Bad Boss There are many traits that a boss needs; like communication, respect and mentoring. These traits and others will decide whether you are a good boss or bad. It will depends on how one looks at it, are you an employee or a boss. Bosses will come and go, however the good ones will always stand out from the bad ones. At the same time, ironically, it’s easy to spot both extremes, good and bad. Everyone has a difference of opinion on what makes a good boss. I have worked for several bosses and the good ones outweigh the bad. When treated with respect and understanding an employee feels good about the job they are doing, and the boss. Communication and respect are important keys to any relationship, and the relationship between a boss and an employee is no exception. Because employees are the backbone of any business, a bad employee can negatively impact a business. Good bosses teach, train, and listen to their employees when they make suggestions, as they come from personal experience with customers or with a work situation that they have found that needs attention. Communication is key in a manager and employee relationship, understanding each other is key, questions need to be asked if needed to make sure everyone is on the same page. An employee’s perspective differs from the perspective of a boss, therefore meaningful discussion between both parties can bring positive changes and this will promote on a dialog of both...
