...Dear Mrs. Lewis: The internet is becoming a more useful resource and a more popular one every day, let’s not waste the opportunity. Online classes for students is the best option for understudies in any grade level, Not only is it a great choice for students but it’s great for the school itself. There will be less drama and problems for students, students who are shy won’t have to talk in front of the classroom, and schools will save a lot of money. ‘Schools are too over crowded’ States Jayleen Cruz a senior attending Dunnellon High. Let’s face the facts; there will always be children coming in and out of schools making them more populated but, if students are sent to take the courses online it can eliminate some of the crowdedness at schools. It is anticipated that 25% of the current student population will accept this option and not attend school, let’s make that percentage higher! Students who do enroll on the online courses will have much less drama in the school as well as the student’s personal life. It is already a known fact that if students aren’t with their friends in school or in a classroom there is a 75% lower chance of them causing trouble. The students will be at home or in a library doing there online courses , and not causing the teacher trouble as usual, or having the teacher stop an important lesson to write a referral or detention slip. Basically students will have no other choice but to be a good student online because there will be no friends around...

...of America is a lot of support for a supposedly dangerous drug. Many doctors, health professionals, and American citizens in general wonder why marijuana is illegal. “According to Marijuana Facts and Stats, at least 100 million Americans have tried marijuana at least once in their lives.”(“If you”) 100 million people and no deaths from marijuana so is there really a problem with it? According to the Pew Poll 50 percent of Americans see nothing wrong with Marijuana. (“Marijuana Legalization”) So marijuana isn’t a moral issue to half of Americans, which is just again a lot of people. Because of jail overcrowding and the opportunity for millions of tax dollars, Marijuana should be legalized for recreational use. First let’s talk about marijuana in general and talk about some history behind the plant. Marijuana is a dry, shredded mix of flowers, stems, seeds and leaves of the hemp plant Cannabis sativa. The active ingredient in marijuana is THC. That's short for delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol.(“Marijuana”) THC is rapidly absorbed after smoking marijuana. Within minutes, THC and the other substances in marijuana smoke cause short-term medical effects.(“Marijuana”) In 1545 the Spanish brought marijuana to the New World, the English introduced it in Jamestown in 1611 where it became a major commercial crop alongside tobacco and was grown as a source of fiber. (“Marijuana facts”) By 1890, hemp had been replaced by cotton as a major cash crop in southern states. (“Marijuana facts”) Some...

Well in this paper you will find out about the histoty of the house, the location of the house, the tunnel system under the house, the layout of the house, the staff who serve in the house, the family of Donald J Trump, and the tourism and the relations of the house. So let's get started shall we? So the history of the white house goes way back starting in the year 1792 on October 13. The year 1792 was about different acts that has happened like the postal act. Many things happened back then but let's focus on the white house first. Like I said it was built in the year of 1792 and lucky president John Adams was the first president to live in the white house.

...Abstract The discussion of the book entitled “The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke” by Suze Orman, and “Let’s Get Real About Money” by Eric Tyson is one that measures an individual’s knowledge on how to handle their money and ways to make it grow to benefit them. Key points found in both books deals with a lot of the economic aspects of our society today. By using both books as references and knowledge gained from the microeconomics book, This paper discusses the benefits of both books for one’s overall ability to be financially sound, even if you think you may live in an un-financially sound society. Although, both books are geared toward readers in different stages of their lives, they do bring up the questions of whether or not these individuals understand the concept of money, or how it should be a benefit and not a hindrance, and also that it is truly not the happiness factor for life that several millions believe the case to be. The one idea that should be taken from this paper is the knowing whether or not you are financially healthy enough to fit your needs, goals, and desires. What is an economy? It is a type of management of one’s resources. Whether its money, oil, food, land, or a type of service, knowing how to manage one’s own resources, is key to having a great personal economy, even when your countries’ economy isn’t doing so well. To make it even simpler, when talking about one’s personal economy, I talk about one’s financial situation. It has become...

...Josh Jensen Mr Myer US History – 3rd Per. November 5th, 2015 Captains of Industry When you think of our history’s men of success, you think of people like John D. Rockefeller and Cornelius Vanderbilt. These men were widely successful in their businesses, and as a result accumulated huge amounts of profits for themselves. But it has been debated throughout history whether or not they are considered “Robber Barons” or “Captains of Industry”. What this is essentially asking is whether or not they stole gave back or stole more from society in the 1850’s. I believe that the leading industrialists of the 19th and early 20th centuries were “Captains of Industry” because they gave back to the community, and provided jobs. First, let’s talk about...

...her debauchery, then the law should place a harsher penalty on that person. This penalty doesn’t necessarily have to incarcerate the person, but place him or her under restraint from doing anything outside of a normal, functional job that keeps them away from prostitution. The restraint could be an ankle bracelet that tracks where they are at all times. Then if the person continues to prostitute, they would be place in prison for an extended amount of time. The harsh penalties would most likely deter individuals from acting in such a way, and make them turn away from their degrading lifestyle. Now that my opinions have been exposed on the alteration of the law on prostitution, I want to talk about the potential harms and benefits of the legalization of prostitution. First, let’s talk about the potential harms. In a documented Journal of Trauma Practice authored by Janice Raymond, the first argument explicates on the “Legalization/decriminalization of prostitution is a gift to pimps, traffickers and the sex industry.” The argument for this claim goes on to...

...There Is more to just MLB There is a real passion to wanting to play the game. I have had the passion to want to play the game for five years. Ever since I was twelve. And since I love the game and this topic really stood out to me. I am going to talk about baseball. From who Invented baseball. To When did MLB come about. And how many teams there are in baseball. And lastly a person in MLB like Bryce Harper. Abner Doubleday, born June 26, 1819. And died January 26, 1893. He was a United States Army officer and Union general for most of the American civil war. But also had a very important role in the battle of Gettysburg. But let's talk about the main reason that we are really here. And it is that Abner Doubleday was one of the first people that had invented baseball. He invented the game we know and love today back in Cooperstown, New york. During the summer of 1839. He made the idea of the bases you had to run and in the early years of baseball he made it to where you could throw the ball at the runner to get him out. It was pretty extreme before the rules that they have today. But enough about him....

...This question could be up for debate after reading Irwin Shaw’s The Girls in Their Summer Dresses. Michael and Frances, the two characters in the story, are a married couple walking hand in hand along a New York City street. “Look out,” Frances said. “You’ll break your neck”, she said, insinuating that Michael was looking at another woman. What kind of person doesn’t look at other people as they pass? As the story evolves, we see that the couple is isolated. She wants to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, see a French film, and “have a nice Sunday.” He makes no objection, but for other reasons. “Let’s not see anybody all day,” she said. “Let’s just hang around with each other. You and me. We’re always up to our neck in people, drinking their Scotch or drinking our Scotch; we only see each other in bed. I want to go out with my husband all day long. I want him to talk only to me and listen only to me.” “What’s to stop us?” Michael asked. What is stopping Michael is his infatuation with other women. When Michael stares at other women, it drives Frances crazy. “—say, are you listening to me?” Frances said. “Sure,” he said. He took his eyes off the hatless girl with the dark hair, cut dancer-style like a helmet, who was walking past him. “That’s the program for the day,” Frances said flatly. “Or maybe you’d just rather walk up and down Fifth Avenue.” “No,” Michael said. “Not at all.” “You always look at other women,” Frances said. “Everywhere. Every damned place...

P: Of course. You know, with the few campaigns you have been working on, there was a tiny complaint by the client that you went over budget by quite a bit of money. Now, I know that they were not told in advance. It was 11 grand over budget. M: Oh come on, that’s nothing. You know that’s nothing. That’s a drop in the bucket to these people.

...Time is money – understanding US business culture The US, the world’s third largest country both in size and population, is a multicultural mosaic of 300 million people of mixed race and heritage. Yet, despite this ethnic and cultural diversity the US still exhibits a distinct business culture. If you are planning business ventures in the US, a basic understanding of this business culture is essential to your success. Here are some insights that help you avoid common mistakes. Basic concepts An important aspect of US culture is the American Dream: the widespread belief that every individual can succeed and prosper financially by working hard. This idea contributes to a strong work ethic. In addition to a strong work ethic American business culture is also characterized by a heavy emphasis on individual initiative and achievement. Personal competence, professionalism and accountability for individual performance are highly valued Another striking character trait of US business culture is its well-known informality. Thus, titles are seldom used in business environments and most US business partners will offer to use first names almost immediately. Although this casual style can be misleading for people from other cultures. Communication style In their business communication Americans use a very direct style. The primary purpose of communication is to exchange information, facts, and opinions. Typical phrases are “let’s get to the point” and “what’s the bottom line”. If silent...

...or quadriplegic patients would benefit from the ability to use medical marijuana. According to a Bloomberg Business report the legalization of marijuana and this debate that surrounds this issue much resembles that of 1920’s Prohibition of Alcohol. So to the question of capitalism’s influence on corporate America, let’s talk numbers 25 million-60 million in illegal gains. So if marijuana becomes legal, the tax on marijuana cigarette is about $5.00 per joint with a total tax to be made for a year estimated at $45 billion - $110 billion a year. I don’t believe it is possible for a company to cater to both the interest of the company and that of the consumer conjointly. I believe that the company will always put there interest first especially if it will affect the bottom line. For example let’s look at what happened to cigarettes over the last decade. Originally tobacco when the demand wasn’t beyond what the tobacco companies could produce. Tobacco cigarette in its simplest purest form wasn’t harmful and did not kill people. What’s deadly is the chemicals that are used to speed up the production of these cigarettes. Once the tobacco companies saw the potential money maker the cigarette could be I believe the research into faster ways to mass produce these cigarettes to keep up with the demand of the consumer. So to say that business’ can keep the interest of the consumer and their interest as well is a big no. Why would the business not seek their...
