...dimentia could be called the reason I got into this business. That and the fairly simple job requirements. When I was getting out of the Army a fairly grey~area opportunity was presented to me. I was looking to secure my future and point my life in the right direction. The guy next to me in the mandatoy class we all had to go theough to end our contacts told me about his wife. I hadnt met her but her story had inspired my corrupt and eager mind. This woman* laura* had gotten into hospice care. For those of you unfamiliar with the field* generally hospice deals with terminally ill and very elderly patients. At that point which was about two years into her contract* she had been left a several thousand dollars* a BMW* and a the bedroom two bathroom HOUSE on the emerald coast. It was mindblowing. So manyu families just give up near the end and the one the patient cares about is the one who seems to care. I dont know Lauras motives. Nobody goes into this soul wrenching practice hoping to make some easy money. Nobody but me. Every Day I put on my plain white uniform and go to work as a sort of bouncer. I dont work at a ritzy night club or private security. The government signs my checks. I dont kick rich kids out of bars. I am often tasked to make sure our clients DONT leave. Hired muscle and a pretty face. Fouty two minutes. I might not have time to get to the gas station to take my morning redbull dosage. This is going to be a long day. This is how they fuck you.

...It is said, that High School nerds make way more money than those who care about looks and popularity so in this case, yes, i would rather be the smartest kid in school than the most popular. Not only because of the money and better job oppurtunitties but also because of the chance of an easier life. With this is in mind, being a nerd may cause you not to fit in, or get made fun of, but in the longrun your the one with the better GPA and the chance to be your bullys' future boss. In my eyes, being a nerd is the best thing that can happen to you! Having good grades can lead to you getting compliments from teachers and recommendations to a better class or a better college. Also the amount of money you'll be making for your effort is outstanding! There are many colleges that look at your GPA and having a high GPA can pretty much lead you to any job you want. Another key point, is the chance of an easy going life. You wont have to worry about being behind on your rent or any bills. You'll have all your money in order and will have it for any necessity. Also, in my point of view, you will be smarter and a quick thinker. For instance, if your applying on a job and are filling out your resume, your brain will think back on english class and your resume will be well written and you have a higher chance of getting the job. Also many people say math isnt needed in "real life", but say your fencing your backyard. You, as a "nerd", will have the advantage of knowing all the right measurements...

...Survey of Science and Technology in Society Global Warming: Crisis or Conspiracy What is global warming? Or climate change for that matter? How did it start? How will it continue? What will happen to humanity? Will it one day be gone, due to our own ignorance? These are some of the questions raised by a percentage of the society who believe in the facts and evidences presented by the scientists and environmentalists. While the other part of the society seem divided over this issue, these groups of skeptic individuals, strongly deny the theory that global warming is a big issue and require urgent attention. Their beliefs are based on scientific facts too. So what’s right and who’s wrong? The debate doesn’t seem to stop. To begin with, Global warming is the continuing rise in the average temperature of the earth’s climate system, forcing it to change. Though change in climate is nothing new for the earth, according to the evidence and facts provided by the article “Global Climate Change” posted in NASA’s official website, the Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives. The current warming trend, however, is of particular significance because most of it is very likely human-induced and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented in...

...Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American journalist and author. His writing style was very different from others because he didnt use that much adverbs/ adjectives or didnt really descriped the characters in his stories but let them speak through their actions. His language was really simple so averyone could understand. However, he used the ”Iceberg theory” which means that the surface of the story is simple, but below the surface is the structure more complex. He had a high degree of detail in description of places/things and his typically themes in his stories were love, war, loss, wildness etc.. Cat in the rain Writtin by Hemingway and publised in 1925. An American couple is on vacation in Italy. The American wife sees a cat outside in the rain and she wants it very bardly, so she goes out to get it but the cat is gone. She goes back to her hotel room and starts a conversation with her husband. She tells him the things she wants but her husband doesnt seem to be interested at all. But in the end, the padrone comes with a cat to her. There is a very long description of the enviroment (typical Hemingway style). ”In the good weather there was always an artist with his easel. Artists liked the way the palms grew and the bright colors of the hotels facing the gardens and the sea.” First of all, he descripes the enviroment like it’s summer but then he writes that it’s raining. It’s sympolizes their relationship. First it was great and they were happy but then it all...

...you but I need to unlove you because loving you is a poisonous. The moment I see you, my heart beats fast, I thought it was a good sign yet It was a warning sign. I shoud walk away before you did. I should close my eyes before it fell, too late my tears start rolling on my face. Remember when you sit beside me, you looked at me, you smiled, I felt like melted ice. I thought it was happiness yet a selfish trap. You made me fool in love, You made it falling game, I fell, you won. We found each other in a hopeless place, you accepted me behind of my flaws, you held my hands and promised to stay . I thought it was real but it was just part of a game . I am grateful to have you in my life, you are perfect creation in this cycle world. I thought you were the flowers in my garden but you turn into thorns. My life isnt enough without you.

...used for means of communication. But does this new type of development provide a better way to find friends or does it lead to isolation instead? First of all, one can say that social networks like facebook make it easy to keep in contact with friends and family as it is convenient, fast and for free. Therefore it offers a good way to maintain a relationship. To actually make friends through facebook though, seems to be more debatable. These particular types of friendships are based on a non-physical relationship, in which gestures, expressions and the outward appearance are not presented to each other. As these are important chracteristics of a person, the question occurs if one really gets to know the true personality through facebook. Hence, facebook friendships are rather acuaintances and therefore superficial. However, social networks give members the opportunity to contact old friends they havent seen in a while. Furthermore especially facebook allows members to find people from the same school or class. In this case facebook can help finding friends for people who are too shy to approach somebody personally. Nevertheless, social networks should not be overused but can be used additionally to normal cummunication. I believe that isolations only occur on very rare occasions. This can happen, members of social networks get addicted and view e.g. facebook as the highest level of communication. But as I already mentioned, real friends cannot be made by facebook. All...

Greatness isnt a function of circumstance but a matter of conscious choice. Themes- level 5 leadership U do as per book n gve one example tht u have in ur notes n explain tht in short First who then what- explain wd example FOR REFERENCE There are 6 key principles derived from carefully studying companies who have consistently outperformed the market for 15+ years: 1. Level 5 leadership - It’s above principled leadership, not charisma. Great leaders mix personal humility with intense professional will – where the company comes first. Ego-driven leaders can lose sight of the real goal (cf. Iacocca). - Great organizations have leaders that take responsibility and have the courage to do what MUST be done. - They do not budge from high standards. 2. First who…then what - Great organizations get the wrong people off the bus, the right people on the bus – then get the right people sitting in the right seats – and only then decide where you want to go...

...Imagine for a minute: you are a teenager that is dedicated to your religion and just a loving person in general. Now, you get ripped from your home and everything you know and are subjected to horrors that you can't even begin to believe are real. This is what happened to the author, Elie Wiesel, in his memoir, Night. Elie faces traumas that make him debate his religion throughout the book. At the beginning of the book, he is spiritual and hopeful, he begins to lose his faith as time passes, and at the end he is silent of his beliefs. As a young boy, Elie wanted to learn about his religion and have a deep spiritual life. He is persistent and strives to keep a close connection with God. According to Wiesel, his father “wanted to drive the...

...In the essay, “The Godfather’s Essential Morality” by Louis Baxter it explains how The Godfather is very honest. Baxter states that this book is moral because it doesn’t portray the world to be something its not. It is very straight forward and shows human beings as they are. Baxter gives different examples of why he feels The Godfather is completely moral. In The Godfather Puzo presents several different social ironies, according to Baxter. His opinion about this book being moral came from the different accounts of social irionies that Puzo put forward. Things such as the family unit being key to surviving in the world, a poor immigrant that is truly honorable, or even characters not wasting time on the wishing wells of life. Baxter also elaborated on how The Godfather is often remembered as a story about criminals but with all the lessons taught in the book it is way more than that. Baxter’s review of this book shows how the story is much more complex than just a story about criminals. It shows how Baxter see’s the deep point of the book and its morality. Response: I agree with Baxter that The Godfather is a book based on morals and honesty. Puzo shows us many things that can coincide with my agreement. This novel is moral because it shows that having a family unit is very important to survival. From my own experience I can vouch that this is true, Without my family i woulnt have any support system and i would be on my own. I wouldnt be where i am today without my family...

...Brenda Moreno Short Film Response American Beauty The movie "American Beauty" directed by Sam Mendez (1999) was an intense movie. Everything about it from each character, to the scenes. The main characters in this film were Lester Burnham, Jane Burnham, Carolyn Burnham, Ricky Fitts, Frank Fitts, Angela Hayze, and Buddy Cane. Everyone came together in such a crazy yet thruthful story that usually happens in real life. One quote that really catched my attention was "everyday is the first day of the rest of your life". It says so much meaning that everyday you have a chance to make your life better no matter the situation. In the movie the main story was Lester's story with his marriage with Carolyn. They had both drifted themselves from eachother and their daughter that their situation seemed to get worse and worse each day. Lester constantly felt out of place and like Carolyn had a lot of control over him. He became obsessed with his daughters friend Angela Hayze, and even started to have a sexual attraction for her. Angela enjoyed that extra attention. Lester and Carolyn never had sexual intercourse so Lester's obsession with Angela became deeper as each days passed. All of the situation made Jane feel very unconfortable and did not know how to take act in the problem. Her new neighbor Ricky Fitt became a big part of her life when he got caught filming her from his window. He also got close to Lester as he started to sell him drugs. I feel like all these issues that Lester...
