...Self Analysis In this essay, I’m sharing with you some of the struggles I endured as a teenager and explain how I learned from the lot of mistakes I made. Looking back and reflecting on my life I can now see that I have made many mistakes. Most of my mistakes I have made were due to my lack of patience and never listening to the older family members. If I had listened to their words of wisdom, I would have saved myself a lot of trouble and headaches. Instead of taking their advice, I took my own path and did things my way. Just like any teenagers, I want to spend my time doing crazy and stupid things. I hate being nagged by my parents. They always want me to clean the house, wash dishes, study and all the crazy stuffs I hate. They always said that “This is for your own good” and I got so irritated every time I hear those words. As a teenager, I want to do things on my own. I want to enjoy life. Play arcade games, hang-out with friends, go somewhere. It seemed as if the more I did not listen, the deeper the hole I dug myself. I remember my mother told me “What goes around comes around.” I started dating a lot of girls around when I turned thirteen. I did not take into consideration the feelings of the girls that I talked to at all. I met a girl and fell in love with her but she didn’t feel the same way about me as I felt as I felt about her. My heart was broken and all I could think about was the lecture I received from my mother about karma. And now,...

...5e c 543 4 he domestic goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) is a subspecies of goat domesticated from the wild goat of southwest Asia andEastern Europe. The goat is a member of the family Bovidae and is closely related to the sheep as both are in the goat-antelope subfamilyCaprinae. There are over 300 distinct breeds of goat.[1] Goats are one of the oldest domesticated species, and have been used for their milk, meat, hair, and skins over much of the world.[2] In 2011, there were more than 924 million live goats around the globe, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.[3] Female goats are referred to as "does" or "nannies", intact males as "bucks", "billies", or "rams" and their offspring are "kids".Castrated males are "wethers". Goat meat from younger animals is called "kid" or cabrito (Spanish), and from older animals is simply known as "goat" or sometimes called chevon (French), or in some areas "mutton" (which more often refers to adultsheep meat).

...What Is Social Networking? Social networking is the grouping of individuals into specific groups, like small rural communities or a neighborhood subdivision, if you will. Although social networking is possible in person, especially in the workplace, universities, and high schools, it is most popular online. This is because unlike most high schools, colleges, or workplaces, the internet is filled with millions of individuals who are looking to meet other people, to gather and share first-hand information and experiences about cooking, golfing, gardening, developing friendships professional alliances, finding employment, business-to-business marketing and even groups sharing information about baking cookies to the Thrive Movement. The topics and interests are as varied and rich as the story of our universe. When it comes to online social networking, websites are commonly used. These websites are known as social sites. Social networking websites function like an online community of internet users. Depending on the website in question, many of these online community members share common interests in hobbies, religion, politics and alternative lifestyles. Once you are granted access to a social networking website you can begin to socialize. This socialization may include reading the profile pages of other members and possibly even contacting them. The friends that you can make are just one of the many benefits to social networking online. Another one of those benefits includes...

...Reviewing the article at hand, readers can better determine the direct causes of teen pregnancy through specific customs of inner city teens such as their demographics, sociocultural, cognitive maturity, psychological maturity, and physiology maturity. The analysis of this case study tested by (Talashek, Marie; Alba, Melinda L; Patel, Angria, 2006) gives you specific results of developmental maturity in African Americans, Mexicans, and Puerto Ricans in the topic of teen pregnancy. The results pertaining to each race were widely differential as well as similar. The survey given to the inner city teens from a poverty stricken town with high dropout rates focused on some specific variables. To be more in depth, there were questions on the survey given such as: How old was your mom when she first got pregnant? Do you have a sibling in the household with a child? Do you have a boyfriend that is a gang member? What is your academic GPA? Is your best friend pregnant or a mother? Do you live with your mother or father? Although some variables might be crossed out due to the results, the majority of them were highly useful. Research came to find out that 25% Mexican, 40% African American, and 30% Puerto Rican were sexually active. Further research also found out that African Americans started having sex at a younger age than the rest of the ethnicities surveyed. “The model for pregnancy for African American teens included pregnant teens having more sexual partners and having more...

...selling used children’s clothing. * Why do I want to do this? * Children grow out of clothes so fast that it is difficult to keep up in the cost of new clothing every 6 months. * Research * A SWOT analysis points out the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of this idea. * Porter’s 5 forces. * Findings * The biggest threat being large competitors, the biggest strength being the online convenience for working mothers wanting to recycle and save money. The biggest weakness is profitability, and the greatest opportunity is the bad economy promoting affordable methods to purchasing clothing for children. * Recommendation * Instead of charging a registration fee to enter the site, a fee per transaction would make this idea profitable. Advertising will help bring in profits as well. My Idea! Trading has been used since the earliest times – from the prehistoric ages to the medieval ages, and even up to now. Our ancestors have been using the trading system when money was not yet available. I want to start a trading company. I want people to be able to trade, buy, or sell children’s clothes but in an online type of platform. There are previous businesses such as “ Twice as Nice Kids” that are physical stores where you can go sell or trade children’s merchandise. I feel an online platform for this type of merchandise will be more convenient for on-the-go moms who don’t have the time to stop and look in a...

...The New Great Generation Writers Joel Stein and Josh Sanburn make some particular and rhetorical choices in their portrayals of Millennials in their article posted in TIME magazine, “The New Greatest Generation”. The assessments they make are broad in their descriptions about the generation known as the Millennials: They’re narcissistic, They’re lazy, They’re entitled, They’re selfish, and even a bit delusional. Those are not just unfounded negative stereotypes about 80 million Americans born roughly between 1980 and 2000 (Stein and Sanbrun 3). The authors analyze a decade of sociological research. In this article, they examine the overwhelming negative data about Millennials and argue that rather than being inherently self-centered or overconfident, Millennials are just adapting quickly to a world undergoing rapid technological change. In this article they use a factual tone. The authors effectively use the rhetorical strategies of ethos, pathos, and logos to convince a mainstream audience that Millennials are adapting quickly through expert testimony and scientific data. While interviewing psychology professors, and english professors, the authors use a Journalistic approach as they employ a logos appeal for their article “The New Greatest Generation,” meanwhile convincing the mainstream audience that Millennials are adapting quickly to their ever evolving with technology and social media driven world. A psychology professor at California State University at Dominquez hills...

...When you make the decision to get married you do so with forever in mind. So when you find that your forever is not as long as you thought it changes your whole world. However it’s not only about the two of you. What about the children, how are they supposed to understand that their life will never be the same? As adults we make decisions based on how we feel and what we think is best for all involved. Not realizing that sometimes; not always divorce has a negative impact on the little ones trapped in the middle. When you decide to divorce you need to remember that your child is not a middle man, their emotional wellbeing should be first and they need to be provided with any help possible to make the life changing transition easier for them to understand and make it through. The research that has been done with these children has shown that they experience a higher incidence of internalizing problems, such as depression, anxiety, obsessive worry, problems with concentration and attention, difficulty with emotional regulation, and sleep-related problems. These children tend to externalize their problems with behaviors such as aggressiveness, anger, academic difficulties, poorer peer relationships, resentment of authority, inability to adapt to new situations, sexual acting-out, drug and alcohol use, problems as young adults with intimacy, and problems in their own marriages. (Shienvold) They say children are resilient and they bounce back easily. That most won’t even remember...

...Senator Rubio, a possible contender in the 2016 Republican presidential race, gave the following answer: “I’m not a scientist, man. I can tell you what recorded history says, I can tell you what the Bible says, but I think that’s a dispute amongst theologians.” He went on: “At the end of the day, I think there are multiple theories out there on how the universe was created, and I think this is a country where people should have the opportunity to teach them all. I think parents should be able to teach their kids what their faith says, what science says. “Whether the earth was created in seven days, or seven actual eras, I’m not sure we’ll ever be able to answer that. It’s one of the great mysteries.” It may have been a mystery back in the 17th century, when Archbishop James Ussher calculated from the age of the patriarchs and other sources that Earth was created on Oct. 22, 4004 B.C. Today’s best estimate for the age of Earth, based on the radiometric dating of meteorites, is 4.54 billion years. The real mystery is how a highly intelligent politician got himself into the position of suggesting that the two estimates are of equal value, or that theologians are still the best interpreters of the physical world. Catholics and Jews have always emphasized their priests’ interpretations of the Bible, not the text itself; Protestants, starting with Martin Luther, insisted the Bible was the literal truth and the sole dependable source of divine knowledge, a belief the Puritans...

...Violence is defined as any action of structural arrangement that results in a physical or non physical harm to one or more persons, place or thing. The context of violence is shaped by several factors which include the victim, the offender, the specific nature of the violence, the location of the violence and the rationale for the violence. Depending on the situation, we can either associate ourselves with the victim or the perpetrator. If we closely identify ourselves with the victim, then we condemn the violence and sympathize with the victim if they are similar to us. However if we identify with the perpetrator, then we condone the violence, no matter what the situation may be. There are five classifications of violence which are expressive, instrumental, interpersonal, institutional and structural. An instrumental act of violence is where there is a means to an end and for example an assault during an armed robbery is an instrumental form of violence. An expressive form of violence is where the motivations for violence is the effect of an emotional state which includes anger and or jealousy. Interpersonal violence consists of rapes, robberies, assaults; structural violence occurs when someone or a group of people form structural arrangements that target a specific group which may range from the color of the skin, to sexual orientation, to religious practices. Lastly institutional violence is reflected around an organizational setting and an example would be within the family...
