Big, Fat Personal ChoicesFast food restaurants such as McDonald's should not be accountable for one's obesity problems because it is people responsibility. Restaurants have healthy options in the menu, also it is a business and they would not stop selling because someone do not want it. "Even if restaurants do put healthier items on the menu, it doesn't mean people will order them, or if they do that, they will lose" (Preventing Obesity) (805). -Customers cannot blame any restaurant, who sell healthier food for their own obesity, customers make their own decision on what they want to eat. Fast food restaurants such as McDonalds should not be held accountable for one's obesity problems because they have healthy options in the menu, it is people responsibility, and it is a business, they would not stop selling because someone do not want it. McDonald's has a healthy menu, and it is as cheap as a combo. First, in "Preventing Obesity" Barbara Montel claims "It concluded that only twenty- |

Mary Ann Shadd and Her ForefathersConsidered to be a major figure in the creation of the nowadays Canada, Mary Ann Shadd is a pioneer helping her country; not only in themes about racism, but also in educational reforms. Born in Wilmington, in 1823, she spent her life aiding everyone, from offered her family's shop as a shelter for fugitive slaves, to works as a teacher or tries the suffrage for women. Descending from a family of free African-American abolitionists, she was not the only member of her family in being a pioneer, also her nephew, Alfred Schmitz Shadd, was one of the first black teacher "among the 433 teachers employed in the territories' 366 school" (A. Thomson 1317), and, in addition, a black doctor. The aim of this paper is to bring to light how Mary Ann Shadd and Alfred Schmitz Shadd contributed in the prosperity of their country comparing both of them, and in the pages that follow, it will be argued that these African-Canadians tried to obtain their purpose, though, they had to deal with adverse situations. First of all, as something essential to keep talking abo |

Their Eyes Were Watching GodBorn in Alabama on January 7, 1891, Zora Neale Hurston collected folklore from the South, the Caribbean, and Latin American, as she spent her early adulthood studying at different universities. With the publishing of her novel "Mules and Men," she expressed these findings. Zora Neale Hurston played a big part in the Harlem Renaissance, and being this she rubbed shoulders with many of the famous writers apart of it. Hurston moved with her family to Eatonville, Florida, when she was still a toddler. Her writings reveal no recollection of her Alabama beginnings. For Hurston, Eatonville was always home. In her novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, the setting, in which was a black town, was the place where she grew up, Eatonville, Florida. Zora Neale Hurston is a 20th century American folklorist, anthropologist, and author. Zora Neale was an anthropologist, and being this she wrote this novel based on her environment, human studies, and society. Zora Neale is most known for her |

Research Paper - Pearl HarborThe attack on Pearl Harbor was a very important event during World War II, and it was one of the major reasons the United States joined the war. Pearl Harbor was the turning point during the war for the United States. In a book about Japanese Internment, which was an effect of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the author briefly gives an explanation about the attack, "On December 7, 1941, Japanese war planes bombed the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii"(Stanley 1). A possible Japanese attack had been talked about for months between Americans, but no one believed that the Japanese would land such a bold attack so close to the United States. The attack took the entire country by surprise. The attack on Pearl Harbor was quite devastating for the United States as it destroyed the entire naval base. The attack started with a Japanese midget submarine that tried to go through the entrance of Pearl Harbor. One author noted that the Americans on the island ignored the |

Hocus Pocus by Kurt VonnegutIgnorance is one of several things in life that is very damaging. Many people have heard the saying "ignorance is bliss;" this is the same as saying "boys are stronger than girls." Both sayings are said on a regular basis, but are misleading. Ignorance is the farthest thing from being bliss. It is a very destructive facet to many people's lives. In my life and many others lives it has created resentment, displeasure, and anger. People do not slow down to find out more information; they act quickly upon the situation, which leads them to ignorant actions. This has unfortunately happened to others and me more times than we would have liked it to. Kurt Vonnegut writes in Hocus Pocus about how people are mechanistic creatures that are filled with ignorance. The main character within the book is Eugene Debs Hartke, also known as the narrator of the book. Eugene was a commissioned officer by the age of thirty-five whom then became a physics teacher at Tarkington College, |

Women's Rule in Sixteenth-Century British Political ThoughtThe article which I reviewed entitled 'Women's Rule in Sixteenth Century Political Thought' by Constance Jordan was a very intriguing and informative article into the views and mind-sets of womanly rule in sixteenth century Britain. As the title suggests, the article delves into the thoughts and literate actions taken by many in sixteenth century Britain and questions the rule of women in British society. The aim of the article is to bring forth an argument suggesting that there was not only a religious divide during this period but also, in some cases, a much larger debate regarding the rule of women in British society and looks at reasons and events to why this common view may have been politically adopted. The article mainly focuses on events undertaken in Mary I (1553-1558) and Elizabeth I's (1559-1603) reign during the sixteenth century and how these events may have shaped the way in which the political elite of British society thought and how this was reflected in their wri |

Fictional Archaeology AccountMy name is Dr. Jarde Lenson of the World Academy of Archeology, and in all my years of having discovered multiple artifacts such as the Ritual Ring of Michelin or the Iron Tomb of Chevrolet, I would never believe I would be extracting what is soon to come. The Republic Empire has announced that the radiation levels from The Grand World War have finally come to pass within the sub layers of New Earth, the ruins of Old Earth are finally safe enough to explore. The Republic Empire has decreed that my senior team at the Academy of Archeology will be the first in 500 years to delve beneath the surface of New Earth, and into the mass of mile long caverns and underground valleys filled with artifacts and structures of our ancestors. It has been little more than 500 years since the Grand World War, and all knowledge of the Old Earth was lost to it. No one knows what happened, those who did and survived the war have long since been dead and have only left scapes of information for scientists a |

Saying Goodbye to the New York AccentMuch of the information people know about New York, or perhaps the island of Manhattan, seems to be common knowledge. Take, for instance, the New York accent, which, much like some of New Yorks other famous landmarks, you have probably heard of even if you've never been to this city. Despite never having set foot on New York soil, many people from across the world can identify this dialect and perhaps even say a few lines in it. While most people could do the same with a British accent or perhaps a French accent, these aren't cases in which the dialect is specific to the city, and, for that reason, among many others, New York City stands alone. New York has always been a notoriously cosmopolitan city, with people coming, going, and oftentimes staying from other countries and cities within the United States, and, it is for this reason that both the accent originated and why it is so identifiable around the world. One possible reason that the accent is so well known is the globalization |

History of the Black PlagueMedieval Europe and its social, economic, political and religious foundations would find themselves shaken by the scourge of the Black Death, which would kill more than one third of the European population and spread a sense of fear among people. The Black Death constitutes one of the most horrifying areas of human history, when people were assailed by disease, to which there was no apparent solution and the death of millions would leave the social, political and economic structures uprooted. The Black Death in its severity and extent was one where it seemed nobody could be exempted from its reach and even though modern scientists and theoreticians believe that it could have been avoided, conditions present in those days reveal otherwise. The Black Death was a disaster of unmanageable proportions and the speed at which it travelled and the number of people it killed made it apparent that it did not differentiate between the social classes, races or religion. It is believed that the Bl |

The Beatles and LSDWhile The Beatles were no strangers to drugs prior to 1965, their introduction to LSD caused a major shift in their music, personalities and public perception. LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) is a psychedelic drug that alters the thinking process, closed- and open-eye visuals, sense of time and spiritual experiences. The drug played a key role in the 1960s counterculture. LSD was a key influence in the changes in The Beatles' music between 1965 and 1968. The drug played a pivotal role in the group's studio experimentation for Revolver and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. LSD was introduced to John Lennon and George Harrison by a dentist at a dinner party who slipped a laced sugar cubes in their coffee. After that experience according to George Harrison, he and Lennon had decided that the other Beatles should experience LSD, which they had previously taken between March and July 1965. George was quoted stating "John and I had decided that Paul and Ringo had to have acid, |

The Basics of Physical TherapyPhysical therapy is the treatment of disease, injury, and pain killer addiction by physical methods such as massage, heat treatments, and exercise plans rather than having to get extensive surgeries or having to take expensive and dangerous drugs. Physical therapy has grown to high demand in the work field over the years due to a low number of licensed physical therapists in the United States. When a person thinks of physical therapy they think injury or injury repair. Physical therapy is a health care profession that treats and repairs injury. Physical therapy is a health care profession that remediates impairments and promotes mobility, function, and quality of life through examination, diagnosis, and physical intervention. This is a field where the patient is the number one concern. Even though there may be one or more patients there is always one patient who is at the top of the list - depending on the type and severity of the injury. Physical therapy is not just some word people t |

The Ugly Duckling EffectThe team beauty or beautiful is described as a combination of qualities such as color form that pleases the aesthetic senses especially sight over the years beauty has been portrayed in many different ways in order for women to the "ideal" women. In the article "The Ugly Ducking Effect" they state that woman are easily influenced in order to maintain the "ideal" women regarding the consequences to themselves. This result also states that beauty beliefs were measured and manipulated; the message that beauty is malleable has a potentially harmful effect on women's lives. This work also suggests that the typical finding that malleable beliefs are beneficial may reverse when the domain in question has unattainable standards. Since women feel they can not obtain beauty qualities other women have, they are likely to change their physical appearance. The way women think can lead to low self esteem issues and would find a way to do what ever they can in order to |

Teachers and Failing StudentsTeachers are responsible for facilitating the learning and development of each of the pupils in their care. They provide a rich environment where students can absorb not only knowledge, but also practical lessons they will use throughout their life. The expected level of knowledge increases as students move from grade to grade, and a student's success is determined on how well they are able to process this knowledge. Educational standards ensure that only well-prepared students are able to advance to the next grade. When a child does not meet these standards, whether through apathy or inability, it is not only appropriate, but necessary that teachers allow them to fail. Failing teaches students that there are consequences for their actions. When students are habitually truant or do not complete their schoolwork, they have not met the minimum expectations, and thus should not deserve a passing grade. In fact, a passing grade would be tantamount to awarding poor behavior. Students are s |

Foreshadowing in A Good Man is Hard to FindIn the story "A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Connor, there are many examples of foreshadowing that O'Connor uses to enlighten the reader as they go along. O' Connor is preparing the reader from the beginning, for the ending she has in mind. The reader starts to suspect the tragic ending very early on in the story. The scenery describes an impending doom, from the gloomy forest and winding road, to the graveyards. Also, the grandmother is constantly dropping hints of what is to come by talking about the Misfit or referring to death and how much the world has gone wrong. The Misfit is constantly being alluded to throughout the story until the time he appears. O'Connor wants a lot of emphasis on the ending of the story to get her religious view point across to her readers. It seems that O'Connor truly wishes to describe the story in such a way that the reader can feel the message in their own heart. The first instance of foreshadowing is when the grandmother introdu |

The Promises of GenesisFaith is not just a word. It is so complicated that it took an entire chapter to describe it and still even now the word is used so flippantly. According to God, faith is the "assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." A good illustration for faith is a flashback to "Adventures in Odyssey." There is a house burning down and the little boy is trapped on the second floor. His father calls from the ground for him to jump out the window and into the safe arms of his father. The boy has a choice, stay in the room and die, or take a leap of faith into his father's arms. Faith can be described as taking a step without knowing the end results. An even better illustration is the life of Abraham. If one wants to learn how to live a life of faith, he only needs to look at the life of Abraham. Is there anybody else in the Bible who starts off with everything and leaves knowing nothing? Sure, Abraham's life was never perfect but he is still counted in the B |

Persuasiveness of the American News MediaSocial media in America has drastically changed our world as we see it. Without a doubt social media plays a vital role in not only our communities but in our entire society. This method of control of our generation can be used as a positive outlet. But in some instances seems to do more harm when used in excess, like any good thing. News media can be used as a gateway to reach those who are physically unable to be touched or hear of what may be going on due to distance, or as a way to stay connected with social issues and current events. It also allows people to see the issues, gains,triumphs, and tribulations of our community. Simply stated social media allows us to become even more aware of the world we are living in. Using the news media as one's only source of information definitely plays a negative effect on our generation solely based on the lack of credibility that is presented at many times. The news media has multiple other negative impacts on society when looked to in exc |

Consumerism and the Economy"When the US sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold," I used to hear on a news show as a kid. The conclusion in the opposite sense is that if the US speeds up, its movement will boost growth around the globe. This week, we have found that the US economy is growing at 3.9% in annualized terms. Let's note the significant connotations deriving from this growth. Firstly, US consumers represent nearly a fifth of the world's GDP. Thus, if Americans do not buy pants because they have been snowed in by the snowstorms from the first quarter of 2014, this is bad news for the Chinese pants manufacturer, and also for the German machinery maker that exports to China the necessary parts to manufacture those pants. The strength of the US labor market, together with 2% annual growth in salaries, drives consumption, which is growing at around 4%, or 2% in real terms. Given that the US is the number one importer, the reactivation of global trade is a direct result of the US' economic acceleration. Thereby, the world trade organization estimates that global trade will double in growth from 2014's 2.5% (affected by the US' unusual first quart |

Mother Tounge - First Generation ProblemsHave you ever had been in a situation where you had to translate for your family member so another peer could understand? In Amy Tan's essay, "Mother Tongue", Tan discusses the many ways in which the language that she was taught affected her life. With her Mother from China, English is not the first language spoken. It was really hard for her mom to communicate with the people in the United States, Tan referred her mothers English as 'broken English". However, her English is much more fluent than her mothers. I can definitely relate to Tan's essay because I too come from a bilingual household. Tan's essay affected me in many ways because I could relate to it so much. In paragraph 14 Tan talks about her mother getting a CAT scan, her mother was waiting anxiously for the results but the doctors had lost the results. The mother tries to talk to them but the staff doesn't respond in a helpful manner until the mother forced them to call Amy. She replies "lo and |

Teen Pregnancy and Foster CareAbstract There is not much known about what happens to adolescents who are faced with certain obstacles in foster care. There are a few studies that have examined the impact of adolescent pregnancy in foster care in multiple placements. Adolescent pregnancy is something that is seen as normal, because it is happening everywhere. This study is done to understand why adolescents in foster care, who come from a background of being placed within multiple homes are seriously affected by high pregnancy rates. It examines not only placements, but as well as family history, problems, and whether or not they are being taught the important information on sex. The study also examines what are the different risk factors and what determine adolescents to engage in sexual intercourse that leads to pregnancy. The study will examine the outcomes of teen pregnancy in foster care and how they can be worse for adolescent mothers who are in the system rather than adolescents who are not. The study is des |

The Truman Doctrine and the Cold WarThe Truman Doctrine was introduced on 12 March 1947, marking the start of American Containment Policy. It provided economic and military aid to Greece and Turkey, which were in a state of devastation after World War II, and in fear that these weakened countries may succumb to communist pressure or turn to communism as it offered a solution to their problems, the Truman Doctrine was introduced to offer help. It is important in causing the Cold War as it set the framework and foundation for the subsequent American policies as part of the containment policy to contain Soviet expansionism. However, other factors stemming from American intentions prior to the Truman Doctrine, Truman's hesitance in directly confronting the Soviets and the Marshall Plan's success are also important in causing the Cold War. Overall, this essay seeks to argue that the Truman Doctrine is not important in causing the Cold War as it was only a mere declaration of American intentions which were present before 1947, |

The Use of Makeup The Purposes of Every Day Make Up and What Does It Express Introduction Beauty is an abstract term, whose issues are related to human tastes. With a more complete definition of this term deals the aesthetic, a discipline within philosophy. Like any emotional assessment, establishing beauty is subjective. The skin is a mirror that reflects our health and expresses our lifestyle. Currently, there are numerous possibilities of care, a variety of products and cosmetic treatments becoming more sophisticated which help us have a beautiful and healthy skin. Since ancient times, cosmetics had an important role in women's transfiguration. Careful application of makeup on the face of a woman can become the encounter between what is the woman and the ideal that she desires in connection to her person. A new image can give great self - confidence, and at the same time it can be a stimulating experience. Using makeup was used to awaken and stimulate certain feelings and qualities, both for |

Critical Rresponse Essay - The Maltese FalconHardboiled fiction, as one of the genre from detective story, shows the individualism that the main character, mostly a detective, needs to be strong and working under his own will. This genre convention doesn't appear without a reason. It actually works as a response to another convention: the corrupted cops. When cops are corrupted, cooperation with cops just mean more corruption. That's why writers of hardboiled fiction portray the main character as a loner so he won't fall for corruption and the environment of the story will be brighter. the term "corrupted" in such genre of story doesn't necessary mean the cops are taking bribe from others, but mean that cops work against their officers' principles and even the society. In The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett, such cops can be seen in the details of the conversation among Dundy, Tom and the main character, Sam Spade, in Spade's apartment. Other than creating the main character's individualism, the genre convention of corrupted c |

Strategic Changes in the NBAWhen you think about professional sports and the levels of popularity in the general public, there will be a lot of peaks and valleys. You are either on your way up, or on your way down. Right now, the NBA (National Basketball Association) is on its way down. Nobody watches basketball until the football season is over and players admit that it doesn't get serious until after the All Star Break in February. Stars are wasted on substandard organizations, eroding on rosters until the first opportunity to bolt, hoping that it isn't too late. Somehow in the playoffs, teams with under .500 winning percentage are accepted while teams with a significantly higher winning percentage are left at home. How does that exactly happen? And this isn't a statistical outlier, this has happened multiple times. There are multiple little tweaks that need to be made to the game that will bring viewers back and build markets up. I have to start with the game, because if the game is bad everything else doesn |
