...Janelle Baird Professor John Snider WRIT 101 08/28/15 Planned Parenthood Recently I observed a debate about Planned Parenthood on the internet where both people brought informative material to the argument against and in support of the organization. This was an excellent opportunity for me and other people to see both sides of the argument so that we can become more open minded and educated on the matter of defending our own beliefs with facts and tested theories while understanding other viewpoints. This reminds me of the quote by a Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher, Sun Tzu which states: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. For myself, I stand very passionately on the cornerstone that human lives, no matter how small or in whose womb they take form in, should be treated with humanity. So in the next four pages I am excited to bring forth the evidence I have found to petition the world to defund Planned Parenthood in support of my strong belief against the establishment. I am equally excited to give supportive information from the opposing side’s perspective. I understand that I do not understand everything. I have not experienced Planned Parenthood personally. I never had a reason to want an abortion neither was I an unplanned fetus that my parents wanted to eradicate. Therefore I cannot pull evidence from personal experience, but I can learn from and examine other people’s testimonies and gather...

...Think of a mother. Think of a warm hug during a cold night, or a kiss of comfort. Those were some of the things that Jesus received from his mother. What was it like for Mary to raise a child? Exclude the fact that the child was the Son of God. Instead, just for a moment, focus on the fact that he was her child and she was his mother. Mary was born after an angel announced her. She was raised as a Jew in Israel. Her father was Joachim, and her mother’s name was Anna. Mary was born after her mother and father prayed for her birth. Mary’s parents were very wealthy and righteous in their religion. When Joachim would give offerings to the Lord, he always gave double. The reason Joachim and Anna prayed for the birth of Mary was because every righteous...

...with my boyfriend, two, toypoodles, a ferret and my boyfriends parents. We all live in the country on 5 ½ acres. Our home is 2 homes in one which are both separated, the parents live on one side and we live on the other. Once you have been use to living the city life and move to the country it can be quite an adjustment because there is not much to do in Texarkana, Tx compared to Houston. For instance, simple things for me like driving to town seem like such a chore. Since moving to the country instead of going shopping for dinner no more then a mile from home I now have to drive over fifteen miles to town. Sometimes i feel like I have wasted my entire day. The up side of living in the country is that it is quite peaceful and you do not have your neighbor in your back yard. I have four children 2 girls and 2 boys. My girls are Diana my oldest 29 who has two children My grandchildren Makelia 7 and Baby Juan 4. My daughter Mary is 28 and she has 3 boys Vince 8, Louie, 3, and Baby Luke who is 1 ½ .

I'm also an event planner. It's wonderful. Up until july, I was an engineer. Doing it for 11 years. Involved in JMJ, I loved everything about it, I was just busy. I had 3 little kids and work and all kinds of stuff going on. Not as involved as wanted to be. In April, our previous exec director wanted to retire. Looked at husband and said wanted to do this. Very fufilling. Transition into role. Completely new to me. So much fun and so awesome to be able to effect people's lives everyday. See the joy and gratefullness. Beautiful experence. Do you like your job? What do you like about it? I think the biggest thing is to be able to affect people in a positive way. As an enginner, I got to talk to oeopel and develop code, it was kind of boring and wasn't fulfilling. It was comfortable, I appreciated being paid very well. That was the hesitation. Once I made the jump, I realized that to be able to interact with people in such a positive way. The whole policial thing, I”m a young woman, I feel very empowered. I believe that women should have all kinds of rights, who would be against that? I also feel it's important that women get all of the imformationa bout all of the options when you're pregnant. Any choices that you make, none of it's easy. Being pregnant is hard,...

...The problem is that we both made mistakes. I’ve never been the type to own up to them right off the bat. I find it awkward and sometimes too far off, raising a problem when ignoring it was all you probably needed. The thing is I still think about it. You’re not a idiot; it’s pretty obvious. I think you’re amazing and that won’t change no matter what this manages to morph itself into. And in my opinion, it doesn’t need to. But I think about the song, I think about the poems, I think about the unfinished story rotting because I’ve lost what motivated me to complete it. A story is a what-could-have-been right? When we daydream about our futures, daydream about bravery and acceptance and victory, it’s just a fantasy story of our lives. Sometimes I just have to write it down to make sure I don’t lose it. Don’t forget it. Understand that once upon a time, I was such and such. People say in the future, they’ll look back and laugh. I won’t laugh; I’ll understand. Perhaps not why, why you, why this time, why so silent and why so demanding but I’ll understand the circumstances. I’ll understand what drove me and what tore it apart. My entire life’s story out there for everyone to see. Sometimes I feel so exposed. It’s weaving together assumptions that are sometimes so out there, right in the open. But that’s okay, because even things I write a month ago, I no longer understand. I don’t know whom I was so pissed off at and what made me write a passage on loneliness...

...Before we go further, let me explain a bit what Brainy Montessori is. Brainy Montessori has been designed to teach children count, writing and reading and so on. The Montessori method of education is developed by Dr. Maria Montessori is a child centered education approach based on observation from birth to adult. It is being tested 100 years ago. According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, parent defines as a person who is a father or mother or a person who has a child. Parent also defines as to be or act as a parent to someone. Another definition is any organism that produces or generate another like parent cell or parent DNA. While, according oxford dictionary parent define as an animal or plant which new ones are derived. But, for me parent defines as a person who love their children unconditionally, always be by the children’s sides, understand their children. Someone who stands for them when they need someone, someone who will help them to solve problems. Someone who will teach or show them right or wrong, correct their mistakes. Back to the topic, raising kids is one of the toughest and most fulfilling jobs in the world. Most of the parents want to do the best in raising and teaching their children. Being a parent is not easy, our child did not come with manual, instruction or we do not always have the right ideas or ways to manage them. So many of us want to be a good parent, the perfect one. A truly, good parents is not a perfect one because no one’s perfect. But,...

...unpredictable. The only method to explain anything to a child that has worked for me has been in measuring out the knowledge of the child on the subject, and guiding them to conclusions with facts and questions. The majority of the questions that could be asked, like “What do you see here?” and “How can you tell?” will have already been covered in the exposition of the images, so all that remains is reinforcement of the knowledge and patience for an opportunity in the future to expose them to it again.
Part 3: How would Plato explain the concept of a cat using Forms?
Plato would surely begin, especially with a younger mind foreign to his philosophies, by explaining the concept of a Form. He would take a nearby object, say a stone in the street, and hold it to the child. I imagine the Dialogue would proceed as follows.

...If I had a disabled child when I grew up, I would definitely keep my child at home. There is no way that I could just send my child off to an institution. Just imagine how confused he or she would be when it happened. They would have so many questions, and they might even feel like their own family has just abandoned them, which is sort of how I would see it. Of course their could be many pros on having your child in an institution, but there would also be just as many, or even more cons on having your own child in an institution. First off, I would not like my disabled child being in an institution because I know that they would not get the same care that I could give them on my own, and I just feel like they would be so much more comfortable...

...June 16, 2013 Child Abuse Must Be Stopped Ever wonder why the society has so much parents getting away with crimes? In a world where anything can happen we see children everyday being mistreated by the one person that should be taking care of them and giving them love. Parents discipline their children and act as if they are real parents but really those parents that abuse and hurt their children are not good parents at all. Parents should care for the health of their child and treat their child better than what they threat them. Why is it that parents have the right to abuse their own kids but nobody else can touch them or abuse them? Why is it that parents don’t understand that every child needs a parents comfort? Child abuse is now a global problem that escalates every year. Child abuse will not be stopped if we don’t try and punish parents that do harm to their children. Parents should be legally punished if they are verbally, emotionally, sexually, or mentally abusing their children. Parents don’t see that the most terrible thing for children is to be physically abused. Physical abuse is one of the most common ways a parent abuses their child. Physical abuse is abuse involving contact intended to cause feelings of intimidation, injury, or other physical suffering of the body. Once a parent hits a child they will be marked for life, a child may not have a mark on them but that child will always have that memory in their head. No matter what the child did or did not do...
