...Minors who break the law may be charged with criminal offenses, and if convicted, face jail sentences, fines, diversion programs (supervised counseling, which often results in dropped charges if the minor participates successfully in the program), and sentences such as a number of hours of community service. What if there was a place that you could be eighteen and not get a ticket for just having a beer in your hand? A place where younger adults could drink without getting caught. This place should be America but in places in other parts of the world the age is lowered and it hasn’t had bad results. America should lower the drinking age to eighteen. The charge you would receive if you were under 21 and in possession of alcohol might consist of being charged with criminal offenses, and if convicted, face jail sentences, fines, diversion programs and could also have to face some community service hours. There is a lot of things that are allowed at eighteen that seem to be far more important that drinking at age twenty one legally. For one, you can sign up to defend our country and put your life on the line with a chance of dying every day at eighteen but you can't go to the gas station a grab a six pack to hang out at the house? I think it's safe to say that signing up for the army is far more risky than legally drinking at eighteen. Another very important thing you can do at eighteen is vote for the person who runs our country. Being president is one of the biggest jobs in our...

...Intel plays a critical role in personal computer’s microprocessors and is a well-known brand in the world. According to SWOT analysis, it can provide some information about Intel’s strengths, weaknesses,opportunities and threats. Intel has dominated microprocessors market for several years. The major strength is that the firm has a high market share. By contrast, Intel’s chief competitors such as Samsung and AMD merely occupied 24% market share. Furthermore, Intel’s branding market campaign will also benefit from its market share. To be more specific, the corporation utilized “Intel Inside” campaign to improve its brand image. When consumers purchased Intel’s partners’ personal computer, they can easily know Intel’s trademark. This advertising strategy is backed by its market share. The firm’s pricing positioning is different its major competitor especially AMD’s pricing strategy. Some reports illustrate that Intel lacks of competitive advantage in low price productions’ market. The reason is the firms pay less attention to low chip market and has no future plan to expand this market. This weakness will bring about opportunity for its competitor especially AMD. The potential opportunity for Intel is that the growing development of mobile Internet devices and cloud computing. Smart phones market has advanced dramatically in recent years. Intel activated a new platform namely Centrino Duo mobile to support its new marketing strategy. These opportunities can help Intel to...

...Drive through any given village in Bali and you’ll see vibrantly colored fighting roosters in woven cages pecking at the green-tipped grass at their feet. Come later and you’ll see the cocks taken out of their cages to be stroked and caressed by local men who sit together, enjoying the last rays of sunshine while discussing the qualities of their proud and elegant birds. Bali, like many other nations, has banned cock fighting as a cruel sport, although the practice is still allowed on the Island of the Gods for ceremonial purposes. These fighting birds are as much a part of Balinese Hindu rites as the burning of incense and giving offerings to the gods. Breeding the roosters, some of which boast feathers with a golden luster that evokes songket, takes place up in the cool, mountainous region above Gianyar. In a small hamlet called Malet, the birds are big business. Village head I Ketut Ludea says that while Malet raises about 600 roosters every year, most are sold to other communities nearby. The rest are used for local ceremonies. “In our village we must sacrifice birds before turning the soil to plant our crops, so we need around 250 birds for these ceremonies,” Ludea says. “We can sell the other 350 birds, which does not make this our most important revenue for the village, but a side job that many of us use for the education of our children.” Such children include Ledea’s 12-year-old grandniece, who studies English twice a week in nearby Tampak Siring...

...In April that year, Charles William Cocks, a 23-year-old man of fine physique, reasonable education and glowing references joined the Police Force. However, the big city life in Brisbane offered temptations perhaps hitherto unexplored by a lad from Muckadilla and Cocks succumbed - drinking and whore-mongering; swearing at superior officers. Even staying erect proved a challenge for Cocks, admonished on the parade ground because he could not stand upright and once needing three attempts to put his helmet on straight. Throughout his short police career, he accumulated an impressive volume of charges, cautions and reprimands for slovenliness, dereliction of duty, indecent language, drinking on duty and insubordination. "Kiss my arse," he told...

...The chapter from Why the Cocks Fight: Dominicans, Haitians, and the Struggle for Hispaniola, showed how Haitians are treated as a Dominican workforce. To say Haitians are employed as workers would be to disregard the fact that they are treated almost as if they are slaves. Working Haitians in The Dominican Republic are not respected by their employers, instead they are treated as if they are objects that can be controlled with a simple command. Working Haitians are sent away from their families, given poor wages, and forced to live in unacceptable living conditions. Despite the fact Haitians “hardly blink at the subhuman treatment” they endure, Dominicans believe their presence to be an issue (113). This struggle with immigration is surprising...

...L. Uy Lit 126.1 Edward-David E. Ruiz, Ph.D. October 3, 2014 Detective Play: Just Under Our Noses The Nun’s Priest’s Tale of the Cock and Hen, Chanticleer and Pertelote Analysis “For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought.” ― Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene Stories and tales allow us to take a step back into the past and dance with its maker. Even though little is known about someone, much like Sappho, whom is only known through the bits and pieces her of work recovered; we come to know what their tastes in topics are, what words they favor, and how they weave them together into something wonderful, among many other things. As for the Nun’s Priest, even for such an enigma, it is possible to dissect how he is like, through his tale, according to Chaucer. His story begins with a widow, that is the mother of two, characterized to be a patient, loving, and content woman. This claim is shown explicitly and implicitly as the story tells us of how she had little, but made the most out of it in examples such as her small income and possessions, her provision for herself and daughters (301), her health not depending on any extravagance, but only good diet, exercise, and heart’s content (302), and her naming of her animals (302, 303), which may display affection and attachment. How is this relevant if the title is the cock and the hen? It can be seen as a foil to the fable to be told. The general mood that pervades the introductory lines is of how plain and...

...Aguilar, Alexa Nicole A. SOCSCI 150, Prof. Nymia Simbulan BA Behavioral Sciences, 2nd Year 04 September 2013 Integration Paper on: “Deep play: Notes on the Balinese Cockfight” CLIFFORD GEERTZ Clifford Geertz in his article entitled “Deep play: Notes on the Balinese Cockfight”, uses interpretative analysis in the context of cultures as symbolic systems or a set of texts consisting of practices which create shared cultural meaning that is to be read by the anthropologist. Using direct observation of cockfighting and its significance within Balinese society, Geertz makes assertions of its symbolic meaning and relation to Balinese culture, concentrating largely on its social implications and masculine symbolism. To the outsider, one may mistakenly see Balinese cockfighting as simply placing a bet on an animal fight like many other sports concerning animal matches, but there is more to the cockfighting tradition than just that. Cockfighting was firstly shown more than a sport and somewhat of a rite of passage into the Balinese social group/life when an incident concerning Geertz, along with the community, runs away during a police raid of an illegal cockfight instead of simply pulling out their papers and asserting their...

...subdued strain of culture which glorifies men and their masculinity in the Balinese society. The interaction of the men with their cocks highlights the cock as the physical object as the center of a dynamic display of symbolic interactionism. For example, as foreshadowed by the obvious double entendre, the cocks in Bali villages are masculine symbols. Moreover, its metaphorical uses run in the lines of “hero” and “tough guy”. The big event that is cockfighting shows the importance that the society places upon these masculine concepts. Therefore, the Balinese men show utmost reverence for their cocks not only because they are pried fighters, but also because of the symbolism it carries for them. This, in turn, reflects a core principle of the theory wherein behavior is based on the meaning given to the object receiving the behavior and action. With the object being the cocks and the symbolism being their masculinity and ego, there have been practices as frequent grooming, bathing and even hand-feeding of the animals that show a reflexivity where cocks are equal to men’s ego. Furthermore, the exclusion of women in this practice, for example, the avoidance of having women see the spurs or tadji, is indicative of the gender status and roles in their culture. These rituals and practices reveal sources and forces of cultural meanings. The concept of cocks and how they are viewed are also...

You plant your feet to lift your ass and arch your back as you slide your panties down to your ankles then lifting one leg from them, to put one foot on the seat. What did I get myself into I’m thinking, I can’t win behind the wheel.

...cockfight he and his wife were unacknowledged in the village, but were accepted into the local society after their support in covering up the illegal event to the police. That is the moment when he realizes that cockfighting in Bali is not a just about gambling, but is much more civic in nature. After watching numerous fights he suggests that the fights are metaphoric; and not between cocks but between people. These fights are, “… a convulsive surge of animal hatred, a mock war of symbolical selves, and a formal simulation of status tensions.” He uses this occasion to represent one’s feelings towards other members of the local society. Even though there is money involved in making bids, it is secondary to the metaphoric demonstration of one’s pride, poise, dispassion and masculinity associated with the fights. Even though people are unharmed, it is only the cocks that pay with their life, and the owners of the cocks risk their reputation in loosing. This embarrassment lasts a short time but it is very public. The fights are, says Geertz, a way of “saying something of something.” By this he means the cock-owners use the animal and the fight to send a message to an opponent for reasons like: capturing someone’s wife, settling of political disputes, and arguments. Even though...

...“Deep Play: Notes on the Balinese Cockfight” Clifford Geertz Reprinted from The Interpretation of Cultures The Raid Early in April of 1958, my wife and I arrived, malarial and diffident, in a Balinese village we intended, as anthropologists, to study. A small place, about five hundred people, and relatively remote, it was its own world. We were intruders, professional ones, and the villagers dealt with us as Balinese seem always to deal with people not part of their life who yet press themselves upon them: as though we were not there. For them, and to a degree for ourselves, we were nonpersons, specters, invisible men. almost as satisfactory. If we ventured to approach someone (something one is powerfully inhibited from doing in such an atmosphere), he moved, negligently but definitively, away. If, seated or leaning against a wall, we had him trapped, he said nothing at all, or mumbled what for the Balinese is the ultimate nonword-"yes." The indifference, of course, was studied; the villagers were watching every move we made and they had an enormous amount of quite accurate information about who we were and what we were going to be doing. But they acted as if we simply did not exist, which, in fact, as this behavior was designed to inform us, we did not, or anyway not yet. cockfighting as "primitive," "backward," "unprogressive," and generally unbecoming an ambitious nation. And, as with those other embarrassments -opium smoking, begging, or uncovered breasts-it seeks...

...Geographic Range Found in most of sub-Saharan Africa Habitat Rainbow lizards can occupy urban, suburban and wild areas that supply enough vegetation for reproduction and insects for food. Terrestrial Biomes: desert or dune , savanna or grassland , forest ,rainforest , scrub forest , mountains . Physical Description The agama lizard is characterized by its whitish underside, buff brown back limbs and tail with a slightly lighter stripe down the middle and six to seven dark patches to the side of this stripe. There is some sexual dimorphism. The subordinate males, females, and adolescents possess an olive green head. A blue body and yellow tail and head characterize the dominant male. A. agama has a large head separated from the body, a long tail, well-developed external ear openings and eyelids. This lizard also has acrodont, heterodont teeth. The lizard possesses both caniniform incisors for grasping and molariform cheekteeth for crushing. The maximum size for male lizards is twenty-five centimeters and female lizards is twenty centimeters (Harris 1964). Reproduction Females reach sexual maturity at age fourteen to eighteen months, males at two years. A. agama reproduces during the wet season although they are capable of reproducing nearly year round in areas of consistant rainfall(Porter et al. 1983). The male will approach the female from behind and head bob to her. If she accepts then she will arch her back with her tail and head raised. The male walks to her side...
