...Marijuana and Education In today’s economy, it’s very important to do the things necessary in order to get a degree and open up greater opportunities. Going to college and pursuing what one wants to become creates a goal that every student should try to accomplish. Due to its harmful nature, marijuana should not be legalized because it can cause damage to the brain. Legalizing marijuana would only bring more problems to our already fragile youth. The world before education, some might wonder what that might have been like? In the early stages of education, and anonymous writer said on wikipedia.org, “Some forms of traditional knowledge were expressed through stories, legends, folklore, rituals, and songs, without the need for a writing system”(“Right to education”). These people learned through speech and visuals without the resources to excel and proceed into higher levels of education. From this, the young were not expected to advance into a higher degree of study. Once writing became available, these stories, legends, folklore, etc. were more easily passed along to future generations. This helpful finding made the stories more accurate and believable. Current students now have an advantage because of the resources that help attain an outstanding education. Some of the resources that show up in the today’s youthful generation that helps them to succeed include libraries, books, and computers. Just these three things can improve student learning because they provide...

...CHAPTER ONE Topic: Why are there so many children living in single parent households? Rationale The community in which the research was done is one of a moderate size. It only has approximately five hundred and fifty (550) people living there. It is located in the Duhaney Park, St. Andrew. The investigator became aware of the situation by way of observations and investigations. The investigator has been living in the community for the past sixteen (16) years and had noticed that most of the children in the community were brought up in a single parent family. This may pose a problem as children could get accustomed to liking one parent more than the other or maybe they just simply don't know their other parents. Being aware of this, the investigator decided to do some research within his community on single parent families. He also investigated some of the possible reasons why the other parent was not around. Method of Investigation The method of investigation used by the investigator was questionnaires. Questionnaires are not only easy to use, but they allow the persons being investigated to remain anonymous as they are not required to write their names. Questionnaires are also efficient in the collection and analysis of data. 1 CHAPTER TWO Design of Study The research was conducted over a 2 week period which the respondents had a maximum of three days to complete the questionnaire and return them to...

Have you included your survey results?” The evidence offered to support my claim/position is through conversations I have had with others on the subway, at work, at the beauty salon and just about everywhere I travel, also through my research of study on the subject. Yes, I have included my survey results. “Put your claim/position and “evidence’ through the ‘Scientific Method’ and ‘Proving a theory’ steps. Are there any steps on which your claim/position and evidence do not measure up to the examination? If so, what can you do to make them more acceptable?” Providing evidence through the ‘Scientific Method’ has measured up to the examination. However the steps to ‘Proving a theory’ may give you the evidence to have a strong case but not actually proof that your theory has been proven. There will most likely be other evidence that will give your audience or viewers a different perspective on...

... Immigrants aren’t evil like most Americans believe, they are human beings that are trying to make a better living for themselves. Living and growing up with immigrants, makes the world be portrayed though a different lenses. Immigrants live on constant fear of being deported, even when they have not done any criminal activity. Immigrants pay attention to the news, for any laws that may affect them or benefit them in any way. However, most laws or people are against immigrants, for the prejudice that are set for these immigrants. There is “41.3 million immigrants lived in the United States in 2013, accounting for 13 percent of the overall U.S. population” (Zong).Theirs Mexican, Muslim, Chinese and many other races that are in the United States and each of them have had an obstacle here in the United States. This country is known for welcoming others, having people achieve the American dream. But the government and the people seem to say otherwise, because most of these immigrants do not come close to that dream others talk about. Hearing immigrants story about how in their native country people think that America is glory, the best of the best, because the American dream is a dream everyone can accomplish. This dream is less likely to be reached by immigrants with the obstacles they have. One obstacle is obtaining citizenship, this process takes years to develop and get granted. The laws that make it hard for them to not live in constant fear, one example of their disturbance...

...wealth in spending money, wealth can only be achieved in saving money." -Helmut Ament- Why do we Fail with Money? We fail with Money and we don’t build wealth and financial security because we make a few key, consistent errors. These are common errors that are caused by our mental “hard-‐wiring” and our inability to calculate the long-term effects of our decisions. If you learn About these errors and you overcome them, you can take control of your financial life and Your financial success. If you don’t learn about these errors, you’ll keep making them, and you’ll keep going down a path of having less success with money, less control of your life, and less of a feeling of security and safety for yourself and others. If you want to get control of your financial life... and get control of your ENTIRE life... then you must educate yourself and learn how to do it. No one is going to do it for you. A Lot of people think that money is something you dont talk about, something bad. Some people think that people who have money are “bad people” and people who are poor are “good people.” Regardless of how you feel about money, what you think money is, or whether or not you think that people who have money are good or bad, it’s likely that you DO FEEL one thing: Most people feel like...

...the first time when I was eleven years old. When I was riding a bike in front of my grandmother's house, I tried to do a trick. I messed it up in the end and headed to the ground with my hands down. I fell hard on the ground, my left wrist was twisted the wrong way. At first it did not hurt at all, but a short time later when I looked at my warped and twisted ankles, sudden excruciating pain, my whole body was wrapped. Rolling around on the ground yelling and cussing in pain, my parents saw what happened and came running to my aid. After about ten minutes of yelling and screaming, I finally got up and held my wrist as I walked to the car. The whole way to the hospital the pain got worse and worse. Later I foound out the increase in pain was due to swelling the broken bone. After waiting impatiently, I finally learned that x-rays were taken and my wrist was broken and my doctor put plaster on my broken wrist. It was the worst day of my life and I’ll never forget the pain I had. First Love: Narrative I may not have had a first love to remember, but I still remember vividly my first crush.

...ages, improving nutrition facts at restaurants, and providing more space for citizens to get physically active. Studies have linked obesity to many things from ear infections, to pollution, to air-conditioning, to socializing with obese people. The reason Americans are obese is because of the increasing luxury available to them. Obesity is a rising problem in the United States, and with all the privileges given to its citizens, the country has become increasingly lazy. With portion sizes rising and physical activity decreasing, it is easy to see how obesity rates have skyrocketed. Obesity is a huge problem that needs to be resolved because it affects all people, unlike most issues. People of every gender, every age, and every race are at risk of being obese. Obesity rates in America have nearly doubled within the last twenty years. Something must be done not only to prevent obesity rates continuous rising, but also to dramatically increase the percentage of obese people in America altogether. The best way to begin a revolution in health in America is to start with the youth. The United States has the largest percentile of overweight children in the world. Approximately one-quarter of all four to five year olds and one-third of ten to eleven year olds are considered overweight. The obese children will more than likely become overweight parents. A child with an obese parent is ten percent more likely to raise obese children and thus the cycle continues (McBride, 2010)...

...The Lost Innocents Richard Napper University of Phoenix When an individual makes the complicated decision of adding a four-legged member to their family it should be viewed as a lifelong commitment. The majority of people who decide to take in a new four legged family member usually have the best intentions at the time. However, life happens and things tend to change. The puppy who was once small and adorable is now full grown, becoming ignored, and is chewing for attention. The kitten who was once a cute little ball of fur is now not so little and clawing the furniture and using the potty in paces other than the litter box. Maybe there was a job loss in the family, or the individual has become homeless because of financial mishaps. With foreclosure on the rise these days due to a bad economy this is happening more often than not lately. One must plan for these types of issues that may arise in the near or distant future. There are a lot of individuals who believe that an animal shelter is the answer of all answers. The awful truth is they are mostly overcrowded and under staffed. More animals get euthanized inside the shelter due to lack of space than adopted by potential lifelong owners in the animal shelter. The animal shelter should not be used as a way to ease guilt on the former owners’ conscience. It should not be used as a dump site or a place to put your older animal like you would a senior citizen in a nursing home. Is animal abandonment ethically and morally wrong...

...sure that everything and everyone are using morals in the environment. In a business environment, why should people be moral individuals? When we are talking about morals I believe that the business in question should be responsible in making sure that the people that they hire have morals and live by them. The business should also put out what morals they have and want to be followed. When the businesses don’t have morals it can cause lot damage to the company and the people that work for them as well. No morals can destroy lives. Let’s, say for example, In today’s time the people really don’t have a choice on if they health insurance or not. The government is making us have it and if you don’t have health insurance then you have to pay a fine. Some people say " If I can’t afford the insurance then I can’t afford the fine, so the hell with it". But what most people don’t realize is when you file income tax you are paying that fine. To this is immoral because everyone can’t afford health insurance and they live pay check to pay check. It is immoral to make someone do something that they can’t or don’t want to do. Now it’s true that you can get insurance from employer but there are some companies who charge so much money to have insurance with them also. This is hurting a lot of families because if the person who is working has to get so much money taken out of their check for insurance, then now they have a problem paying their bills. The moral...
