...Entitlement is the greatest problem facing today’s generation and should be fixed by educating parents of the importance of giving criticism to their children and teaching the children greater responsibility and good work habits that may influence their decisions later on in their lives. Major disputes of today’s generation are laziness, disrespectfulness, and self entitlement. Laziness is the quality of being disobliging to work or use energy. Disrespectfulness is the quality of being disrespectful. Self entitlement is when one postulates that they have a conscientious to something. There are many nicknames for today’s generation; for example, the “Me, Me, Me” generation or the millennials. The “Me, Me, Me” Generation is a generation that concludes that they do not have to perform anything whether at work or at school. Their idea of “at least I showed up” is a mentality that affects our government dramatically. Therefore, a great deal of people in this generation are approaching welfare because they are unemployed dropouts that cannot find a job. Welfare was designed to be for the people who are unemployed because of a major injury, people that cannot find a profession, and people that cannot foster themselves or their family. An example of a thought process from the Me Me Me generation, also known as generation entitlement or generation “E”, is quoted below: “I got part of a programming degree before the bottom fell out of the tech industry and all of an AS in electrical...

...The tiny girl, not more than an infant, sat alone in the corner of the town square and was crying. She had been taken from her mother and watched two men nail her mother to a cross and watched her mother burn to death. This terrifying story is an example of one thing that happened in an era in Roman history. During this time there were four different emperors who ruled, and all of them were cruel and insane. The first emperor was Tiberius, an emperor that had benefits to his rein and was probably the most sane one out of the four. The second emperor was Caligula, a man that did not have any sanity at all. The third emperor was Claudius, a weak and timid emperor who was easily influenced by others. The last emperor was Nero, a man who was vicious and persecuted Christians like the girl’s mom in the example. These four emperors caused many uprisings and rebellions in Rome, but surprisingly the empire held together. Not only this, but the despotic policies and choices made by the emperors did not demolish the government, and this showed that insane people in power cannot always rip an entire nation apart(Morey, William C.). The first emperor, Tiberius, was born on November 16, 42 B.C.(Pohl, Frederik). His reign lasted from A.D. 14 to 37 and he was ready to follow the policy that was already prepared by past emperors. However, Tiberius had his faults, such as, he was cruel to those he had personal relations with and would sustain authority using drastic measures. For example, he...

...relationships with disabled siblings. These relationships could have a significant impact on these siblings’ life later on. Notwithstanding bearing the fact that Doodle’s brother and Squeaky previously displayed infinitesimal tolerance towards their younger siblings’ incapacity, the differences that it unfold in their stages of tolerance as the stories continue are relatively remarkable. Initially, a similarity relating to tolerance found in “The Scarlet Ibis” and “Raymond’s Run” is how both Squeaky and Brother both take care their disabled sibling. In the short story “The Scarlet Ibis,” Doodle was the younger brother who was born with physical disabilities. The narrator, who was known as Brother in the story supervises Doodle because he was determined to make Doodle to become his ideal brother. Specifically on paragraph 10 Brother remarked, “ When Doodle was five years old, I was embarrassed at having a brother of that age who couldn’t walk, so I set out to teach him.” This indicates that Brother teach Doodle how to walk because for his selfish motives. Brother was worried about his own reputation because he could not bear the fact of having a disabled brother. Likewise, in “Raymond’s Run,” Squeaky was the sole protector of her younger brother Raymond. Especially on...

...Birth day party: My best friend’s birthday celebration when I was in 12th standard. we all planned a nice birthday party. he asked all of us to come to his house three days before his birthday. It was supposed to be a small tea-party with a few friends and family members. As he is the eldest in the family, he asked me to come and help him with the preparations. A day before, we went to the market and brought the necessary decoration articles. We decided for a few minutes on the food and other things with my friend’s father. We also ordered for the cake from the bakery his father asked us to. We both were really excited. I decided to go straight at his place after college to help him with the decorations. I had already kept my clothes there, so dressing up was no problem. Both Uncle and Aunty are working, so they too were very glad and relieved with me there to help their son prepare for his birthday party. One our way back home from college, we collected the cake and the eatables that we had ordered the day before. Then we hurried back home. We quickly had our lunch and headed for the drawing-room. We changed the table-cloth, cleaned the room and started with the decorations. We decorated the ceiling with paper buntings, bells and stars. We blew balloons and hung them all over. Doing that was great fun as some of the balloons bursted while blowing and others refused to stick to the wall. For our siblings, we had kept a few birthday caps. While I was blowing the balloons...

...Greek Tragedy Medea and Oedipus Rex are two of the most persuasive plays to exist in this world. They set out the establishments of what a catastrophe should be, and are contemplated everywhere throughout the world today. There are various correlations to be drawn between the two, in light of the fact that they vary, and are comparable, in various captivating ways. Before contrasting the two, in any case, it is essential to recognize what a catastrophe is. Aristotle gave what is currently apparently the most definitive meaning of disaster. As per him, a disaster was an impersonation, or "mimesis", of this present reality. He accepted that a disaster is the higher and more philosophical than even history itself. Additionally, he thought of it as the higher type of show, rather than satire, and utilized his definition to separate between diverse types of verse (epic and verse), and in addition dramatization (parody and catastrophe). Likewise, Aristotle recorded the six principle elements of a disaster, which are – Plot – Plot is the most critical of the considerable number of components, and is accordingly the first standard to be taken after. It is not the genuine story, but rather essentially the route in which the occasions of the catastrophe are displayed to the crowd. Character – This is an imperative component, and Aristotle composed an extraordinary arrangement about what makes a genuinely shocking character. As indicated by him, a terrible legend ought to be an aristocrat...

...implications of this knowledge in the support of the position of ethical relativity. All being different he believed there is an underlying continuity to structures of moral development throughout all cultures. (Krasemann, 2012) The six stages include: Stage 1. The Punishment and Obedience Orientation, Stage 2. The Instrumental/Relativist Orientation, Stage 3. The Interpersonal Concordance Orientation, Stage 4. The “Law and Order” Orientation, Stage 5. The social Contract Orientation, and Stage 6. The Universal-Ethical-Principal Orientation. Let’s start with stage 1. The Punishment and Obedience Orientation. This states that if you so something wrong then you will get punished. In today’s society I see this as flawed because the younger generation does not care about the consequences, all they care about is the gratification of the act at that moment. How would you choose to help stop this trend, I am confused! Stage 2. The Instrumental/Relativist Orientation is all about you help me and I’ll help you mentality. There is no thought by people anymore to do something just because it is right, it’s all about “What’s in it for me !” Do you think that if the children were brought up to respect others more that they would think about others thoughts and feelings? I think this brings up a big flaw in that things will not get done if there is nothing tangible in in it for people, do you agree and how could we change this?

...depends on how it is interpreted. Generation Me author Jean Twenge shows self-esteem and interest in self in many different ways throughout the book. Here, the two images portrayed display those same things along with self-confidence and self worth. As Twenge states, “The society that molds you when you are young stays with you the rest of your life” (Twenge 2). The images hold true to Twenge’s statement. Generation Me has evolved into an all about me society. The first image is that of a young, white, obese male walking through a crowded area. The young man is wearing a brown shirt with the phrase, “I’M #1 SO WHY TRY HARDER” printed front and center where everyone can notice. The second image has an older man, possibly in his sixties, dressed in a navy suit and blue tie and carrying a brown leather brief case. The older man is looking at a younger man in his twenties. The younger man is wearing a black suit jacket, casual striped button up shirt unbuttoned at the top, and jeans. Instead of a brief case, the younger man is holding a yellow binder along with a manila folder in one hand and a smart phone in the other. The images show GenMe’s focus on self. The younger men in each image are part of a generation that has grown up encouraged to focus on self, when maybe instead the focus should have been on personal health, respect for others, and having a positive impact on society. The two images spoke volumes because of the reading from Generation Me. GenMe has been raised, encouraged...

...Time Management Time Management To begin, it is possible to state that time management is a technology which helps to organize time in the most effective way. Moreover, time management system allows people not only to be more productive in organizing their time, but also not miss something very important. According to different sources, the first attempt to develop a system of time management was made by a Roman philosopher, statesman and poet Lucius Annaeus Seneca in the first decade of the new era. Of course, Seneca’s attempts were different from modern approach to time management, but they were also important for people in ancient times. So, it becomes obvious that people from the early beginning of our civilization tried to organize their time and to spend it in the more efficient way. Today the organization of time is considered in close connection with the lifestyle of the person as a tool for maximal realization of the personal potential according with the values, world view and outlook of the person. We consider the mission of the human being as a prerequisite for the formation of the purposes, goals - as a subject for equipment with criteria, values - as a basis for prioritization, and thirst for self-development - as the primary motivator. Of course, according to Van Eerde (2003), it can be stated that the one who does nothing needs no discipline. Therefore, the more we have plans, desires, goals and intentions, the more we feel the need for time management...

...Nero was an emperor in rome from AD 54 to AD 68. He was only emperor because his mother tricked emperor Caligula into adopting Nero so that he would become emperor over his blood son Britannicus who was younger than Nero when he died, and then killed him. Nero’s mother thought she would have Caligula’s son as a backup in case Nero got out of hand but Nero killed him shortly after becoming emperor. Nero killed a lot of people for little to no reason during his reign, including his own mother after several failed attempts of trying it discretely for going against him and undermining him. Along with killing he also had a lot of other issues according to the reading like orgies, mistresses and killing killing people for one thing but saying it was for something else. Nero was said to have followed his predecessors leading style. It seems from the reading that as long as you did not wrong Emperor Nero in any way or get on his bad side that everything would have been ok for you. He was a young emperor though took over the throne at what seems to be 18 years old far too young in my opinion to be leading entire empires but this was a different time so i guess it was different thinking back then. Nero was looked down upon because he liked to entertain, he thought he could sing and didn't think it to be wrong so he performed his talents and made it to where no one could leave the theatre while he was performing. People went as far as to play dead to get out of his performances, females...

...In Joan Didion’s essay, “On Going Home” Didion describes her experiences and thoughts on what defines her meaning of home. Didion uses many asyndetons and polysyndetons to emphasize her emotions and poses several rhetorical questions. Throughout the essay, Didion poses an important point that, perhaps her generation is the last to truly know the meaning behind the word “home”. The contributing factors to such conclusion derived from her personal experiences with her direct family (mother, father, and brother), her husband, and even her own daughter. Didion first sets her definition of home by clarifying that to her, home means “not where [her] husband and [she] and the baby live, but the place where [her] family is.” (Didion1) Her diction reflects the way she thinks about her home, with words such as “troublesome” that give off a negative connotation. Although she defines this place as her home, she expresses how she changes personalities and formalities in front of her parents and brother, which her husband is unfamiliar with. This transformation represents her familiarity with her family, whom she grew up with, or her childhood. However, since she is not in her childhood anymore, this familiarity is somewhat uncomfortable to her and her husband, whom Didion is more accustomed with. She, therefore, calls her “home” a “burden” (Didion2) where her source of tension and drama come from. Didion’s relationship with her husband reflects what she left behind at “home”. When Didion...

...Reflective Paper Daphne Jackson BSHS/345 April 18, 2015 Elaine McCullough "Generational poverty" is defined as having been in poverty for at least two generations. Generational Poverty creates a strong family oriented environment that is a bond that most children refuse to want to break by leaving home. In generational poverty, the players feel that society owes them a living whereas in situational, they often allow pride to keep them from accepting needed assistance. Most of the children that are raised in poverty have a lack of education resulting in a high dropout rate due to frustration in learning, teen pregnancy and other personal problems or situations. Children become possessions to their parents, instead of individuals that should taught the basics and values of life. So, they can feel prepared to move out on their own to achieve success within their lives and the future to come. In most households, older children tend to take care of the younger children; forming a sense of belonging to the family, which can result in the younger kids having a “fear factor” out living life on their own. Many single parents work longer hours to make ends meet, but a sacrifice of the inability to educate their children makes for low test scores in school. This type of situation causes educational boundaries that could cause illiteracy with children wanting to drop out because of anger and depression issues. Poverty can occur in one of two methods. The first is caused by an event...

...community wide events and fundraisers. I would work to help reach out to the youth of Burleson so that our generation can become more involved with our community at a younger age. Getting the teenagers and children to participate in community events is vital to contributing to the major goals of our community and to helping Burleson thrive and grow. In addition to connecting the youth to the community, I would also pass an ordinance to raise fines for littering across our town. In continuing to unite the community of Burleson, keeping this city beautiful plays a major part. Littering is just one way in which our town becomes less unified, so I would fight to stop this disrespect of our city. I would also try to organize more money into a budget for making our city more beautiful. This budget would cover more landscaping and maintenance projects across the community. Another thing I would do as mayor would be to set aside more money in our budget to go towards our city’s drug awareness program. It is sad heart-breaking and devastating to see so many of our promising teenagers and young adults turning to drugs, alcohol, and substance abuse. In strengthening this program, more and more teenagers could become aware of their reckless behavior and the affects that come with the decisions they make. By bringing about this awareness in our youth we can ultimately create a generation of, honest, engaged, and active members of our community. All of these ideas factor into uniting our town...
