...Over forty million adults in the U.S.A suffer from an anxiety disorder such as depression. Throughout time, people have had the same or similar feelings and concerns, and there have been many songs written about the feelings of the depressed. “Paint it Black” is one of these songs and it depicts a man who has lost his love. Also “Candle in the Wind” talks about Marilyn Monroe who was depressed to the point of suicide. “Eleanor Rigby” shows a women and pastor who are lonely. These three songs express how someone can be lonely in a world full of people. "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones shows a man who is lonely in a world full of people. The word choice of "black" throughout the song emphasizes many emotions such as depression, loneliness and the desire to be left alone. "I see a red door and I want it painted black", (1) "I see girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes" (3) and " I see a line of cars and their all painted black" (5) all relate a man talking in first person walking down the road wanting everything to be as sad and dark as he feels inside. The line "with flowers and my love both never to come back" (6) could be one of the most touching parts to this song and gives us a reason for this mans sadness, his love is gone. Shows that the amazement that most feel for the world is no longer felt by him (8). " I look inside myself and see my heart is black" (9) demonstrates the acknowledgment of the death of his emotions. He says " maybe i'll fade away...

...“Eleanor Rigby” is very different when compared to a normal Beatles song, such as “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” Usually, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and John Lennon played a variety of electric guitars while Ringo Starr played drums. In “Eleanor Rigby”, the entirety of the band is not playing their usual instruments. Starr was not even a part of the song hence the lack of drums. Harrison and Lennon instead sang harmony while McCartney sang as the lead vocalist. Furthermore, with the lack of guitars and drums, the music heard below the vocals was played by a string octet. Usually, a string quartet consists of two violins, one viola, and one cello. However, in this case, the string quartet is doubled, which means 4 violins, two violas, and two cellos, in order to create a more powerful sound. Oddly, “Eleanor Rigby” begins strongly with the chorus. While the cellos are arpeggiating, the violins and violas are playing a series of short, fast notes. While the cellos are sustained, the violins and violas are playing a brief subject that eventually returns to the tonic. At 0:14, the first verse begins with vocals and, again, short notes from the upper strings. From the lower strings, we hear a punctual, driving bass line with an occasional arpeggio. We also hear another brief subject of eighth notes from the upper strings. At 0:31, the first of two bridges begins. The violas are playing eighth notes underneath the vocals while the violins and cellos are sustained. At 0:46, the...

...What was the short term significance of the New Deal? To discuss the short term significance of the New Deal, it is imperative to define significance. Significance is defined by the number of people’s lives affected by an event; therefore the most significant of the short term effects of the New Deal was FDR’s implementation of radical legislative reforms. It led to a number of positive economic and social changes in a very short space of time, which contrasted greatly with the inaction of the previous Hoover regime. This opinion is supported by well-known New Deal historian Anthony Badger, who stated that "When Roosevelt took power on March 4, 1933; many influential Americans doubted the capacity of a democratic government to act decisively enough to save the country".The creation of public work schemes and relief programmes provided Americans with improved social stability giving them the confidence to support their government’s initiatives, thus enabling Roosevelt to restore elements of the pre-depression economy. Agriculture was also supported to create more jobs and allow business to grow again as opposed to declining as it had during the depression. These changes were all reinforced by the modernisation policies brought in by Roosevelt in the ‘100 days’.

We posses the special gifts of free will, God’s love and salvation in God’s son , Jesus Christ. Each one of us has special, gifts talents and values given to us by God to enable us to fulfill His mission for us. It is our obligation as moral Christians and human beings to use those gifts to spread God’s message and influence others. Great books often inspire me. A captivating book can put you in someone else’s shoes and it is always interesting to ask yourself, “What would I do in that situation.” Recently, I was inspired by the epic novel, Gone with the Wind, although Scarlett O’Hara does not always make the most moral decisions, her unyielding courage and indomitable spirit are inspiring. These are Scarlett’s talents and she uses them to get through tough times and help her family. I use my own skill and talents as a good student, sister and friend to strive to be successful in life and take care of those I care about. Executing my talents wisely has enabled me to achieve balance between academics, extracurricular activities and my part time job as a hostess.

...How does courage affect you in your life? I’m going to tell you how you can use courage in three different ways. First, you half to have the courage to never give in what you want to do. Second, have the courage to keep wanting even if you can’t. Third, to have courage to take responsibility for your actions. Courage is an important element of character. The paragraph I’m going to write may be about country music. Yet, you should get more out of it than just a country song. Aaron Watson is a country singer that lives in Abilene, Texas on a ranch trying to make a living singing country. There’s just one thing thats making him struggle while singing country, “HE DOESN’T HAVE THE LOOK”. They told him not much people like the original way of country, so he kept a smile on his face and said ok. Still, that didn’t stop Watson from playing country music. He’s not going to give up no matter what people tell him. It takes courage to keep playing with top country music stars. Do you ever wonder how strict schools have gotten? The reason why I asked you that question is because a little boy brought a spork to school. He got in really big trouble for doing it. All he wanted to do was eat with it and show it to his friends. He was so proud of bringing it to school, but the teachers weren't so proud of it and they suspended him for bringing it. He’s just a little first grader that wears a suit to school almost every day and he loves school. Heres a quote from what the little boy said...

...Running Head: THE BUCK STOPS HERE: OR DOES IT? The Buck Stops Here: Or Does It? Ivelisse Maldonado Organizational Ethics and Moral Responsibility/XMGT 216 July 8, 2012 Michael Smith THE BUCK STOPS HERE: OR DOES IT? President Harry Truman had a sign on his desk in the Oval Office, inscribed with the slogan, “The buck stops here.” President Truman wanted all those who entered his office to understand that he believed ultimately, he was responsible for the way the country was governed. (Mitford, M. 1951.) Using the principles espoused by Trevino and Wiley (2007) as a guideline, President Truman thus exhibited one of the qualities necessary to be an effective manager. It is noteworthy to point out that the original slogan was “pass the buck,” a reference found in business and life every day, in which responsibility for a decision or an undertaking is passed on or blamed on someone else, (Mitford, M. 1951.) a policy President Truman abhorred. Did every decision on every topic cross President Truman’s desk? Certainly not, but the president chose to be a role model, set an example of the former, rather than the latter, and indicate to the electorate that he was the ultimate manager. All managers should aspire toward a similar goal. What then is a manager? There are many who have the title but never accept the role. Leaders need no titles. John C. Maxwell, noted speaker stated, “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” (Maxwell...

...Staropoli ORGB 625 July 31, 2011 Introduction The world has known great leaders since the beginning of recorded time. Before any theories on building leadership skills or new buzz words and phrases about leadership, we experienced the impact of great leaders like Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, and Eleanor Roosevelt. These men and women shared little in common except for the fact that they were willing to take a stand for what they believed in and maximize whatever talents they had towards that end. Martin Luther King led the world through the tumultuous Civil Rights movement and inspired millions to change the way in which they viewed the world and each other. He was willing to give his life for this cause (Honey, 2011). Abraham Lincoln had a similar cause in an even more politically and socially divided nation and made similar sacrifices for his cause (Ferguson, 2011). Gandhi led one of the greatest social and religious reform movements in the history of the world with little formal training of any kind. Before it was popular to have a cause as a “first lady” of our nation, Eleanor Roosevelt set herself apart by championing the cause of those most severely affected by the great depression. “[S]he worked as a tireless advocate for the nation's downtrodden and fought to open relief programs to women” (Beasley, 2010).

...Mabel Staupers, a leader that has had a profound effect in shaping the nursing profession throughout the decades that demonstrated a remarkable capacity for growth and enhancement. She has had an extreme impact on the evolution and expansion of the field. In an honest attempt I will demonstrate how she played a part in changing the stigma that surrounded the diversity of nursing by showcasing how she impacted the nursing field and her dedication to it. On February 27, 1890, Mabel Stauper was born as Mabel Doyle to the parentage of Thomas and Pauline Doyle in Barbados, West Indies. However in 1903 Staupers immigrated to Harlem, New York with her parents, where she completed her primary and secondary education. In 1914, Mabel was accepted into Freedman’s Hospital School of Nursing in Washington, D.C, in which she graduated with honors, three years later. Upon graduating, Stauper started working as a private service nurse. Along with Louis T. Wright and James Wilson, Stauper founded the Booker T. Washington Sanitarium in Harlem, in which treated African Americans who suffered from tuberculosis. Upon conducting a detailed investigation in 1922 in regards to the health care needs in Harlem, Stauper found that African American treatment for tuberculosis was seriously shortcoming. In response to this crisis, a committee was founded by New York, where Stauper was appointed as executive secretary. She spent 12 years assuring that the residents of Harlem suffering from tuberculosis would...

...Cameron Spencer HIS 201 Comparison Essay 20 Nov 2012 New Deal Under Attack During the middle of the Great Depression many opposed the New Deal. I’m going to compare document 24-3 with document 24-5. I intend to describe the opponents of the New Deal, and the differences between Herbert Hoover and Huey Long’s plans. The first document is about Huey Long’s beliefs and his redistribution of wealth plan. He expresses his sheer disappointment over Roosevelt’s New Deal program and regrets supporting him in the election. The second document is about the conservative criticisms of the New Deal. Herbert Hoover’s anti-New Deal campaign speech centers on limiting government involvement and self-reliance of the people. Minnie Hardin’s letter to Eleanor Roosevelt, it comes straight from the heart of every conservative that looked down on these “reliefers” for “voting theirself a living at the expense of tax-payers” (184-185). Huey Long and the conservatives agreed on their disappointment of the New Deal, but they differed almost entirely on policy. I’m going to compare the two in order to find out how much both Hoover and Long actually differed. Huey Long was a Southern wing Democrat and former Governor of Louisiana that challenged the New Deal during the devastating Great Depression. The reforms of the New Deal failed to reduce poverty and the suffering of Americans. In 1932, he was elected into the United States Senate. There he introduced his “Soak the Rich Tax Bill.” The Senate...

...The SouthBySoWhat concert brought a hurricane of people and intoxicating events. This entertainment venue carried a truly amazing experience to the metro-plex. Many extraordinary people traveled to this concert from many different states; some patrons from California held a thin, crudely wrapped calendric object with smoke curling thickly from it like smokestacks. My friends and I, being only juniors in high school, investigated with curiosity. We know what cigarettes look like, but this peeked our curiosity. The smell came in waves along with the smoke from which seemed to crawl directly towards us. The smell being so pungent told us exactly to what curiosity lead us to, marijuana. Excited and scared our nerves jittered in our bodies as our mind raced with questions. The guys, all dressed in skinny jeans and various band T- shirts, looked us over cooly. They smiled and held up the calendric object as if to offer it to us. Overwhelmed by the offer, we stood frozen like statues. We finally moved after what seemed like years of time going by, but being only mere seconds in our buzzing reality. As we reached the group of three, our excitement seemed to dwindle as fear crept into our minds with each step. We knew not these guys; we had no clue to what they smoked. What could happen to us? Even with all of these questions, we continued to walk forward. Finally, meeting them close to a crowd of throbbing bodies, we stopped. The tallest boy of the three, an olive colored...

...voting. Eleanor Roosevelt influenced change through speaking about civil rights. ER was committed to standing up for African American rights. She was so active in racial injustice that the FBI had a 4000 page dossier about ER pertaining to her civil rights activities. “J. Edgar Hoover, director of the FBI, even speculated that "Negro blood" inspired ER's perverse behavior.” “She was considered America's most influential First Lady, she started new paths for women and led the battle for social justice everywhere. Today she is still a powerful inspiration to leaders in both the civil rights and women's movements. Eleanor shattered the usual submissive mold that the role of the First Lady had traditionally been fashioned, and reshaped it around her own skills and her commitment to social reform. She gave a voice to people who did not have power.” Others benefit from ER’s actions by getting all the credit that she stood up for women and their rights. If it wasn’t for Eleanor’s contributions we women would not get all the credit that we deserve. Eleanor Roosevelt’s deserves a holiday that would celebrate her and all her hard work that went towards civil rights. Considering she change a lot of things in this society for women and others.
