...Are Guns a Good Thing or a Bad Thing Melissa Cushman Vincennes University Jasper Campus English 102 Professor Mayfield 15 April 2013 Are Guns a Good Thing or Bad Thing? Have you ever wondered why the media never shows anything positive that happens due to guns? Guns have never gone off by themselves on purpose. There is always a living person pulling that trigger. The government keeps trying to take away our guns when the President himself has armed security guards for him and his family. People need to take a stand for what they believe in and fight for their rights! The government should perform more extensive background checks instead of just taking the guns away. Guns should not be outlawed because “guns do not kill people; people kill people”. There has been much debate in our country about gun control and whether or not it is necessary. The event that brought all of the debates to the surface was the Sandy Hook shooting that happened on December 14, 2012. Following this tragic event, the country gave political figures and the President of the United States a reason to push for more control on this issue. Some of the biggest problems facing the American people are confiscation, stricter laws, and 2nd Amendment rights (Madison, 2013). When rumors came out that the government wanted to confiscate all of the guns in the country people became outraged. The ones that do not own guns to begin with of course supported this rumor which ended up becoming...

...Explanation of Title Is the title of the book “Detour for Emmy” a good or bad title? Why or why not? On my perspective the title “Detour for Emmy” is good title for this amazing book. The reason being is because everything Emmy goes threw is like a detour for her from start to ending. Emmy went threw a lot from being a regular teenager to being a mother at teenager years. Emmy had to change her goals and her dreams because of on little mistake that happened. But that didn’t stop Emmy from being the best she could be. She continued her life but down another path because she had another life to take care of besides her own. Being a single parent for Emmy was hard because she didn’t have Art there to help her or be there for Rosie. This was another big detour for Emmy because she thought that Art would’ve been a little bit more of a father and help to Rosie and her but he wasn’t. Everything to Emmy was a big disappointment to her in her life but she would just take another turn to make things better for her. Life for Emmy was full decisions to make either she took one path or she took another. Usually one was the difficult path because she either had to give something up she didn’t have the help. She would always have to take the path she knew would be easier for her and would help her with Rosie. “Detour for Emmy” was a very good title for this book as I explained the things Emmy had to go threw and the detours she had to make because of a little mistake that happened...

...their attitude will have great influence on productivity, their relationships with each other and productivity on the job. It is like when an employee has a good attitude about a job, the whole chore just flows so easily leading them to think that the work is so smooth, easy and hassle free; which at the end of the day eventually holds a huge positive impact on their performance at the workplace. But, here is the opposite scenario, when an employee has a bad attitude about a job, he or she will realize either incidentally or coincidentally everything about the work gets wrong, even the silly things which should not be a problem turns out to be huge mistakes. Now let’s go back to the core question WHAT IS AN ATTITUDE? The absolute basic meaning suggests that an attitude is a way of feeling either favorable or non favorable towards a person, thing work or situation. According to Peter Marr author of ‘psychology at work’ Attitudes are usually viewed as evaluative tendencies (favorable or unfavorable) towards a person ,thing, event or process. An attitude towards a particular object is thus a bias, predisposing a person towards evaluative responses that are positive or...

...Being Average is Not a Bad Thing This paper will discuss the article “We’re All Above Average” from our text book (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, & Wright, 2011). The article talks about the stigma placed on being considered average during a performance interview. Although many employees do rate in the middle, most employees think they’re above average. So what happens if an employee receives feedback that implies they are average, how would you expect them to react during a performance interview? It has been my experience that most employees know how they are performing either through their own inner insight or from the manager’s consistent feedback throughout the year. They react with little or no emotion. But what happens if the employee is truly surprised? To eliminate most surprises, employees were asked to provide self-evaluations which included their strengths, weaknesses and personal goals. This gave the interviewing manager insight to what the employee thinks of their own performance. It enables the managers to prepare for a more productive feedback interview. Therefore, the strategic and developmental purposes of performance management will change depending on the self-evaluation and reaction of the employee to the “average” feedback. It is without doubt that some employees are perfectly happy meeting standards and being rated “average”. Reinforcing this behavior is appropriate if the current behavior is satisfactory and acceptable to the organization...

...with Aristotle because for me personally, if I just aim for pleasure for myself, my actions may bring misfortune upon others, be it eating certain types of foods that are very dangerous for people to attain, like The Deadliest Catch crabs for example. Not saying that I will stop eating crab, but if I, and everyone else in the world wanted crab all the time, many lives would be lost for our sake. Happiness isn’t gained from any one thing, but from a combination of things according to Aristotle. There are 5 main things that Aristotle states that we need to obtain happiness. They are bodily goods, which include a healthy lifestyle, external goods, which are money, food, shelter and clothes. Then there are psychological goods, these are friendships, family, and self-esteem. Luck, both good and bad luck, and habits, mainly good habits that has us make habits of making right choices and build good character. This brings me to my last point with why I agree with Aristotle. Yes I agree with Aristotle. From my own personal opinion, all the things that Aristotle stresses that we need to obtain happiness does in fact make my life...

...Technology making life better or worse Technology has made a big difference in our society such as communication, work, education, and entertainment in good and bad ways. Some people say that technology has made life better with the internet, cell phones and other devices. While others say technology has been making life worse because people are becoming lazy and replace their lives with technology every day. Technology surrounds almost everyone in modern society and it affects our lives in many ways. People argue that technology can be dangerous because Technology contains information that many would rather it not have. It influences minds in bad ways, and it allows people to share information, which they would otherwise not be able to attain it. Even if a person does not own a computer or have credit cards, there is information on a computer somewhere about everyone. The technology, which is beginning to be disrupted and hacked, it is affecting the minds of young people in ways that could be harmful. Technology helps us in many ways because it makes life easier but I think we should stop using technology for every task we do. Everywhere I go, I see technology used for the simplest things that anyone can do themselves. For example motion sensors to turn on and off lights and sensors for other similar objects, making everything voice activated, online shopping instead of walking to the store, reading books and doing homework online instead of paper and pencil, and soon...

Other strengths that I possess are being organized, being on time, and giving things that I love doing 100%. I’m good at completing a large amount of work in a small margin of time, I’m good at listening to people’s problems, I excel when working in groups, I’m a fast reader, I’m generous when it comes to people in need, and I can put myself in someone else’s shoes. A big weakness I have is procrastination. I often, if not always, will save my tasks for the last minute. This has become a bad habit that I would like to kick, but am just to accustom to it to start trying. Some other weaknesses that burden my life are my inability to publically speak well, not studying subjects that I need to, and my very bad memory. Some smaller, but still annoying weaknesses I have are not having great dribbling skills in soccer, not being able to focus on boring things for long periods of time, not eating healthy (at all), not scheduling appointments when I should, not having enough tolerance for people with radically different views than me, and not being content with the good things that I already have. When analyzing how my strengths and weaknesses compare, I am motivated to not let people down, but have a hard time doing so. I have been forced to start studying for my college classes now because I realize what is at...

...Is Divorce A Good Or Bad Thing? Introduction Divorce is defined as a marriage ending before any of the spouses die. According to dictionary.com, “divorce is a judicial declaration dissolving a marriage in whole or in part, especially one that releases the husband and wife from all matrimonial obligations.” Some countries in which divorce has become commonplace are the United States and South Africa. Divorce is not considered as big a deal today as it has been in the past. There has been an increase in divorce. Some people believe that the age of a child is an important factor in determining the impact divorce may have on a child (Beekman, 1986). Some also believe that, gender has an impact on the reaction to divorce on both children and parents (Whitton, Rhoades, Stanley, & Markman, 2008). Others believe that the impact divorce may have on parents is when they have less personal relationship commitment to their own marriage and are less confident in their own ability to maintain a happy marriage (Whitton, Rhoades, Stanley, & Markman, 2008). People may also believe that the communities that surround the family unit may be the cause of divorce (Wolfinger, 2005). One of the positive reasons for divorce is that women are becoming dependent and working in many different workforces (Jennifer, 2010). The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of divorce. In order to do this, the paper is divided in two sections. The first section will examine the...

...“Greasy Lake” – Story Analysis “Greasy Lake” was published in 1985 along with other stories from the author, T. Corahessan Boyle. The story is a gripping tale of three teen boys ‘living on the edge’, in which the author presents himself and his friends as a group of dangerous individuals. One would think that the narrator has truth in his words, but all events in the story point to the contrary. T. Corahessan Boyle, or T. C. Boyle for short, is an unreliable narrator. The truth of this story is not in the text, but in the underlying meanings and subliminal nuances. This hidden reality really helps the reader make a direct judgment of the characters. After reading between the lines, one quickly finds out who the characters are, but more importantly, who they are not. Every 19 year old boy wants to be tough. Reputation is everything to a teenager and toughness is the cornerstone of that reputation. Even though most boys at 19 are far from being truly tough, they sure do play the part. “Greasy Lake” outlines the adventure of three wanna’ be tough dudes. Throughout the story the author, also the narrator, leaves hints for the reader to help determine the characters background. He refers to them as ‘mistakes’ but after a while the reader realizes that the one sole mistake was the boys fronting to be tough in the first place. The second line of the story immediately triggers a judgment call for the reader. The narrator comes outright and says, “We were all dangerous characters...

...HOW TO BE AWESOME 1 Make friends with people around you. Practice starting good conversation. Humor makes people comfortable, and will help you form bonds with others. To form closer bonds, you can hold a sleepover or have a party with people you'd like to get to know better. Parental consent comes first, though. 2 Don’t worry about what others think of you. Everyone's different and everyone is unique. Also, don't change in order to fit in. If the popular girls are wearing something amazing, that does not mean you have to have the exact same thing to be awesome. 3 Be active. Don't just sit there and be lazy, stand around with a racket occasionally.Have fun while you're being active or playing sports. Getting active will help keep you healthy. Regular exercise can improve your mood and relieve stress, ultimately making you a happier person. 4 Try to do well in school. Ask for help if you need it. It's okay to get a bad grade once in a while, as long as you tried your best. It is awesome to get good grades, so pay attention in class and put in the effort, especially math! Math and science aren't just subjects for boys. 5 Develop your skills and talents. Skills take time to develop and effort to master. Different skills and talents are good conversation starters. People will soon be asking you to teach them new skills and vice versa. This can be in any field: gymnastics or sports in general, art, music, trivia, computer programming—you name it.
