As a resujjjjjjjjjjjjlt of his decisions, he faces consequences that harm his relationship with his family and his personal stffatus. It is an example of how not adhering to a set of ethics and morals, such as those set by the IEEE, can lead one down the wrong path. The IEEE code of ethics states "to reject bribery in all its forms." Henry breaks this code right off the bat when he takes Department of Transportation executives on hissssss yacht for a luxjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjurious excursion. As a lobbyist for GUIDEME, which is competing against OUTOCAR for the DOT's cjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjontract, Henry is essentially bribing the executives and lobbyisfffffffffffffffffffng them tofsaaaaaaaaaaaaa choose GUIDEME. If Henry had jjjjjjjjjjjja strong sense of ethics and followed IEfassssssssssssEE guidelines, this misconduct never would have happened. He should have just met with DOT executives over an inexpensive lunch or dinner. Another facet of the IEEE code of ethics is "to avoid real or perfasssssssssssssssssceived conflicts of interest whenever possible." Henry breaks this part of the code when he uses his cjjjjjjjjjjjjjjonnections to get his daughter, Julie, an internship at OUTOCAR. With Henry's best interest being in the...

...He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not I don’t know that there is a way to define what true romantic love is. Every person’s love is different because every person is different. Loving someone means accepting everything about that person without trying to change them. I think that romantic love is rare. It is human nature to care for someone and often times that gets confused with love. To me, love is when your 80 years old, sitting on your porch with your husband or wife, looking back on your life together with no regrets, and threw all the hard times, you still want to wake up to that person in the morning. In “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love,” One of the main characters, Terri, argues that despite Ed’s violent behavior he still loved her in his own way. I disagree with Terri when she says that there was any love in hers and Ed’s relationship. If you love someone you do not abuse him or her. During Terri and Ed’s marriage, Terri described a certain incident when Ed was particularly violent towards her. Terri says “He beat me up one night. He dragged me around the living room by my ankles. He kept saying, ‘I love you, I love you, you bitch.’ He went on dragging me around the living room. My head kept knocking on things… What do you do with love like that?”(350) I don’t think that you can love someone so much that you want to hurt them; it should be the exact opposite. When Terri looks back on Ed and her relationship she happens to only bring up the bad and the violent...

...their lives. The person who I idolized growing up was my father. Being around him everyday led me to try and imitate his every move. He also taught me a great variety of different things such as playing sports, being respectful and having manners. With his guidance growing up, I knew I was going to turn out to be a very intelligent and wise young man. Little did I know that he was only going to be a part of my life for what I feel was the best 12 years of my life. The day he passed away played a significant part in my life and I didn't feel I could make it without him. So as the days went on my attitude towards this tradgey then changed, I used this as motivation to continue on the right path because I know that's exactly what my father would've wanted me to do. Him passing away really forced me to mature much earlier in my life which changed my whole aspect on life. I had to figure out on my own how I could get motivation and wisdom on certain situations such as sports or school activities. Even though it was many days when I would miss him and wish I could just here his advice on different problems that occurred in my everyday life, I still never give up because I know that's not what he wanted me to do. Never in a million years did I think as I was growing up my father would pass away. But now that I'm getting older, I can truly say I'm blessed because in that 12 years of him teaching me right from wrong and other life lessons, I still feel like I'm going to turn out to be a very...

...almighty, life-ruining clutches. Even if you’re like me and you’ve been there before, you can’t pull away. No matter how hard you try. I noticed him first, when I was at work. He was such a dude. He always came in from the gym, hot and sweaty and beautiful, with a bag of food in his hands. He would slap his guy friends on the back and they’d make plans for later. Usually, he’d say hi, maybe stop for a minute to chat and then he was on his way. But sometimes, he would sit and eat while I worked. He’d talk about everything and nothing, all at the same time. But he made me smile. God, he made me smile. I didn’t realize that I loved him then. Then he started dating my friend. She would sit at my shift and tell me how wonderful he was. She’d say how he was so thoughtful, what he had texted her that day, and how good of a kisser he was. I’d smile and shake my head at her romantic antics. I’d tell myself I was happy for her, and I was. Nothing else seemed to change. Day by day, it was always, “hey, how are you? I’m good. How’re classes going?” But sometimes it was more. Sometimes, he would tell me stories about his friends, where he was from, how much he hated Josh Hutcherson. But he made me laugh. God, he made me laugh. I didn’t realize I loved him then. Then this year happened. My grandmother died. I didn’t see him before he left for the summer. I graduated with my Bachelor’s in Accounting. My dad was put in a nursing home, where he withered away before my eyes. I came...

He was asking me why I took this prelaw class and I told him I was very interested in law and I wanted to make it a career in the future.

...much was a cheater. He cheated many innocent girls like me. “Dude, do not believe him. I think you’re in love with the wrong person. He has many other girlfriends besides you”, said my best friend Lara. But, I did not really bother about her advice because I was so madly in love with him at the age of seventeen. I heard people say love is blind. But, my love was blind, deaf and brainless too. It is popular belief that it is great to be young. My parents keep reminding me that school days are the best time of my life. They urged me to enjoy what they describe as my ‘carefree’ days. I could think of several reasons why people think this is the best time of our lives. To start with, I had a lot of friends in school. It was hard to be lonely when we were surrounded by so many people. Not only that, at the same time I was having a boyfriend who was three years elder than me. Actually, I was not really interested in love before this. But, I do not know when I stepped into form five I felt I should have a boyfriend because all my friends had their own one. Besides that, having a boyfriend was a trend for teenagers like me. I am a girl from a middle class family. My father is a lorry driver. While my mother is a homemaker.

The one man that held my attention was Kyle, his grey eyes glared into mine filled with something sinfully dark I found myself gulping, his lips curled into a cruel smile and he scoffed before looking away. "Gimme ten minutes sweetheart. I'll be out soon just buy some food. Its on me!" Yes. I was starving. "You are darling Chuck! I'd marry you if I could!" I yelled back already hopping towards the phone on the counter. I called my favourite Kebab House and ordered a donner kebab. "You want anything Chuck?" I was well aware of the boys staring at me, there eyes trailing over my low cut, off shoulder crop jumper to my camel skort and then to my lace stockings down to my heeled sandals. My tattoes peaked out of the hem of my skirt, and I pulled off my gloves revealing the trbial marks tattoed on my hands. "Get me whatever your getting!" he yelled, I could hear to low hum from the tattoo stick and my body shivered in anticipation. I couldn't wait for my tattoes to be complete. "Hello. Welcome to Kebab house, what can I get you today?" "Hi, could I have two large donner kebabs" I twirled my strand of my hair around my finger, my legs shaking as I leant over the counter aware of Kyle staring at me. My muscles tense, lip stuck between my teeth. "Sure. No problem. Would that be all?"...
