The Basics of Being a LawyerLawyers defend and represent a person or entity in legal dealings. A good lawyer keeps their client's best interest in mind and do their best speak on their behalf. When lawyers argue their cases in court, they must prove their client's stance on the issue holds more validity than the opponent's. Some duties of a lawyer include keeping contact with his or her client throughout the legal process and hold frequent meetings and phone conversations to consult about the case. Along with maintaining contact with their clients, lawyers must also take the time to research the case on their own. They must look at evidence, past proceedings, and the rules of the court. Some of the background work includes outlining legal documents and faxing them to involved parties. A person interested in becoming a lawyer must receive many years of education. They must first graduate from a bachelor's degree program. Once they've completed their Bachelor's degree they must then enter into Law school. To enter law school, they must pass the LSAT. Law school generally last three years and awards a Juris doctor degree to graduates. After law school, students must pass the bar exam in order to start |

American DiversityIn the essay "People Like Us,"" David Brooks, maintains that although America is diverse, it's not diverse enough. He said there is a brick wall of segmentation standing between people. "What I've seen all around the country, is people making strenuous efforts to group themselves with people who are basically like themselves." Brooks believes that the lack of diversity is a negative thing, making people less tolerant and increasing segregation, and often passed on to future generations. But Brooks only looked at America on a small scale, block by block, institution by institution. Gregory Rodriguez in his essay "Mongrel America,"" looks at a larger scale. By focusing on our boarder states, Rodriguez said he can see how much America has changed since our past few decades, through the increase in the number of inter-racial, marriages, immigration, and the minority became majority, etc. He believes that America is diverse, and he thinks that is a good thing (Mong, 90). Therefore, I belie |

Researching Tail Biting in PigsIn a study conducted by Wallgren and Lindahl (1996), evidence pointed towards a classification of pig tail wounds: mild, moderate, and severe. Regardless of what degree the wound was ranked, the ventral side of the tail contains direct access to major veins that can spread infection throughout the whole body; concluding that any measure of wound can have a detrimental effect to the bitten pig (Getty & Ghoshal,1967). Tail biting behavior is more commonly observed in earlier stages of pig production such as nursery and growing phases, because of the decreasing activity pigs have as they age (Stolba & Wood-Gush 1989). During these phases, pigs are let loose in their own pens to do as they please (increasing pathogen production). Studies have shown that along with increased movement, this time of production is when pigs will show increased interest in bloody objects, stimulating a large increase of more tail biting among their pen-mates, thereby increasing infection rates dramatically (F |

Dante the Pilgrim and PoetIn "Dante's Inferno," Dante the Pilgrim goes through some important changes as he progresses further through the Inferno. It is important to view Dante the Pilgrim and Dante the Poet as two distinct and separate characters. Dante the Poet created this hell, so he is stern and moralistic towards the damned souls. Dante the Pilgrim is more naive and sympathetic towards the suffering. This poem is allegorical record of Dante's quest to overcome sin and find God. Dante's reaction toward Francesca in comparison to the shade Bocca, best shows how drastically Dante's attitude towards the damned changes. The beauty of Dante the Pilgrim is that readers can relate to his progression through hell. Dante starts the poem trapped in the shadows of his own sin and this is his quest to find light. Dante the Pilgrim enters Hell Proper in Canto V, with the Circle of the Lustful. He meets Francesca and Paolo, two lovers trapped for e |

Concepts of Sustainable EnergySustainability became the modern quota for almost all the communities and engineering around the world as we approached depletion of raw materials. The definition of sustainability in engineering and almost all communities is the responsible inclusion of alternatives in the design process that benefit present and future society, create the least amount of impact on the environment, and are economical through self-sustaining revenue. Thus renewable energy, in this case electricity is one of the largest debated topics on how can the modern world approaches sustainability. The modern world, including high technology to third world countries are heading toward wind energy, hydropower, and solar for producing high quantities of electricity. The most common source of sustainable electricity in the U.S is wind energy. Engineers have maximized the potential of high wind in West Texas and generate electricity using wind turbines (windmills) to provide a sustainable source of energy. Moving air |

Socrates and the Right to DieSocrates faced a life ending death penalty, and although he had a well-prepared opportunity to escape and save himself, he chose to die. From his point of view, a mature citizen must keep a contract with the state where he lives. This contract contains duties for both sides. The state has to take care for his citizen whereas the citizen has not only to obey and protect the rules that the state determines but also acknowledge them – which in the situation of a death penalty means to accept this ruling without reservation no matter if it is right or wrong. Socrates argues it is better to suffer an unlawful act than to commit a wrong. Would he escape wouldn't he be any better than those who condemned him to death even if this judgment has been wrong. With an escape he would lose his credibility and could not speak about virt |

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and ApathyThe purpose of this paper is to look at the "shirker" (a person who avoids work, putting in effort and denies responsibility) using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Reality theories. To address this challenging behavior in therapeutic groups, evidence informed interventions and techniques will be utilized. The Shirker According to Zastro (2013), the shirker is a disruptive group member who fails to do anything for the group, and when assigned certain tasks evades these responsibilities by using a variety of excuses. For example, in a group members are expected to think of a time when they have felt truly excited, the shirker is the one who doesn't actively participates and avoids the situation all together by not sharing any thoughts or acknowledging the thoughts of others. The Conceptual Framework CBT is grounded on a scientific view of human behavior that implies a systematic and structured approach to counseling. It is most often used for eliminating maladaptive behaviors |

The story begins in a forest where its character Ulrich von Gradwitz is patrolling the woods in search of his arch enemy Georg Znaeym. The narrator explains the feud between the two and how it began many years ago between the two men's families. The two had both been waiting for their moment to see each other to fight until death. On this evening the two come face to face, upon seeing each other they spoke no words. Suddenly the wintry winds cracked a tree and it came tumbling down upon both of them.

Internet Censorship - SOPA and PIPAStop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act (PIPA) are clear violations of our Constitutional rights. In the United States of America, people have the right to free speech and education. Censorship is a violation of those rights. The Internet is said to be the most important technological advancement of our time. Its strength lies in its open architecture and its ability to allow a framework where all voices can be heard (Savage, 2012). Our access to information was attempted to be regulated in the past. Our freedoms were fought for with blood and sacrifice. The internet is a representation of that freedom. It democratizes information and power. To lose that is the end of freedom as we know it. Internet Censorship The United States Congress recently reviewed two major pieces of legislation that, if passed, will have monumental effects on the information highway. The bills are Stop Online Piracy Act (S |

The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)Abstract There are several reasons the Myers-Briggs type indicator instrument is used. The MBTI is a positive, nonthreatening framework for understanding behaviors; this could include both simple and complex aspects. There are hundreds of research studies that have been done on the MBTI and it has been used successfully across the globe. The MBTI is a tool used to define personality differences. Constructive use of individual contributions are important when problem solving; valued, respected, and all are necessary with none being greater than the other (Kirby, Kendall & Barger, 2006). Introduction The framework of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is used to enhance awareness and the understanding of self and others. The framework used to understand personalities is called psychological type. This psychological type theory insinuates that there are consistent patterns in personality types and differences in people in a unique combination of 16 psychological types. With each scale havi |

Fashion Design and Elle MichelleDesign Philosophy My philosophy as a designer is that a woman should always feel like a woman. The beauty behind my philosophy is that a woman can be many things: sexy, powerful, charming, graceful, strong, and mysterious. Her complexity is infinite, and my designs seek to define each and every trait that the fairer sex possesses. A common phrase in the fashion industry is to "Wear the garment. Don't let the garment wear you". It is my desire to create remarkable and memorable pieces that synergize the garment and the wearer, creating the perfect look. Style is individualistic, classic is forever, and a trend is fun for the moment. My design aesthetic is stylish and classic with a splash of trend to keep my audience in chic suspense.

Violence in SportsOver the years, there have been many cases involving violence in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The majority of violent acts committed by professional basketball players are done so with anger and intent. A few years ago, Tony Limon was part of a jaw-dropping incident. Limon and his team were losing their championship game when his frustration began to build. With a few seconds left in the game, Limon walked over to his opponent, Dwayne Holmes, and elbowed him in the face (DiConsiglio 1). Holmes had become to victim of intentional sports violence. Appropriately, Limon was suspended from the team, and later that year he faced the NBA's discipline for his actions toward Holmes; he was charged with aggravated assault. Much like Holmes, I was on the receiving end of sports v |

Academic Performance Index Regression AnalysisIn 1999, the State of California implemented a metric system to monitor public school progress and to ensure full compliance with the Federal No Child Left Behind Act. This metric, the Academic Performance Index (referred to as API), has become one of the most looked to measures of school success, but has also become a large target of criticism. Arguably, this measure is clouded by a number of factors that leave students and teachers disadvantaged, inhibiting their performance, further discouraging them, and ultimately inhibiting their performance even more. Our motivation in examining API is to better understand the factors that best predict this score, and separate out any predictive variables that are strongly correlated to the outcome. Through this statistical analyses, we intend to better understand what schools can focus on offering students (and families) to counteract a socioeconomic and demographic sensitive metric, and improve performance across the board.

College Students and the Drinking AgeIn American colleges and university's, underage drinking is common. The United States is one of only three developed countries which have a nationwide legalized drinking age over 18 (FFF Articles, 2013). In the US, the drinking age is 21, but many students enter college in their late teens. In fact, most college students are 17-23, and the human brain continues to develop until approximately age 25. Consuming alcohol at a young age can do things to our bodies which may cause us harm later in life; loss of memory, slowed thinking, impaired problem solving and decision making, etc. A survey taken in 2011 by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, reports that 25% of youth aged 12 to 20 years drink alcohol and 16% binge drink (Alcohol and Public Health, 2012). Binge drinking is the consumption of an excessive amount of alcohol in a short period of time for the sole pu |

The Joyce Brown CaseFrom the act utilitarian perspective, an action is morally right if it maximizes hedonic utility. The hedonic utility of an act, is the difference between the total amount of pleasure and the total measure of pain produced by a particular act; calculating the pleasure and pain for various individuals. Whatever action brings about more pleasure than pain is viewed as morally right. An action maximizes hedonic utility if and only if there is no alternative that produces more hedonic utility than it. Only consequences matter in an act utilitarianism. In the case of Joyce Brown, the dilemma was whether or not to impose involuntary treatment on mentally ill homeless people. Judge Lippman had two choices. One is to convict Joyce Brown and give her involuntary treatment, and the other one is to free her. The two aspects he would consider to make a decision are social stability and its relation to will. In terms of social stability, Joyce went to the bathroom in the streets and cursed to any |

How Culture Effects ValuesIn order to understand the concept of values, one must acknowledge and grasp the essence of culture. Culture is comprised of certain values, specific to a given society and the members within it. These values are known to be abstract ideas that reflect a set of cultural norms, languages spoken, or symbols used within everyday dialogue. For example, direct eye contact between individuals in American culture is considered polite, engaging, and respectful; whereas in Japan, indirect eye contact is preferred, as it is less intimidating and less threatening. Thus, values are varied across cultures and reflect the instilled set of norms with which society feeds off of. Furthermore, copying from one's paper, known as plagiarism, is frowned upon and considered cheating in the United States, as it is highly dishonest and disrespectful. However, students in Russia actually promote such a style of work, as it is viewed as helping each other in order to pass an exam or better understand the mate |

The Patty Hearst TrialTwo months following her kidnapping by the Symbioses Liberation Army in 1974, heiress Patty Hearst was pictured in surveillance footage toting a machine gun in the robbery of the Hibernia Bank in San Francisco. She was arrested at an S.L.A. safe house in San Francisco a year later, convicted of her role in the bank robbery and sentenced to seven years in prison. Her sentence was commuted after 22 months by then-President Carter. The jury selection for the Patty Hearst trial consisted of seven women and five men, all from very different. Ms. Hearst claimed she was brainwashed into committing the acts she was being charged with. In fact, the simulated personalities of Ms. Hearst played a major role in the trial and contributed the narrative guidelines and visual images used by the jury to evaluate her gestures, appearance, and testimony. Many considered this trial to be more of a "major dramatic-political theatrical event," but not a case with a heavy legal ramifications. " The evidence used in this case consisted of surveillance film, taped messages, and the "Tania interview" ( |

The Poetry of Edna St. Vincent MillayEdna St. Vincent Millay, was an American poet of the twentieth century. She was born in Rockland, Maine on February 22, 1982. In 1904, Edna's parents, who had been separated for three years, finalized the end of their marriage with a divorce. After the divorce, Edna and her two sisters, Norma and Kathleen, along with their mother Cora, moved from town to town, as her mother attempted to make a better life for her daughters. Failing to achieve any level of financial success, Cora Millay and her children eventually fell into poverty. Edna St. Vincent Millay suffered from her parents divorce, and the pain of her childhood became a major influence on the content and style of her writing. With an original voice, Millay typically wrote about the dark and tumultuous aspects of love. She was openly bisexual - a shocking and fearless proclamation for a woman of that era. Despite her sexual leanings, she married Eugen Boissevain in 1923, claiming, after 26 years of marriage, that she and her E |

Rembrandt's Self-Portrait, Aged 23"Self-Portrait, Aged 23," was painted by Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) in 1629. Currently, the oil on wood work is on display in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. It was purchased in 1896 from Lt. Col. Sawyer through Bernard Berenson and has dimensions of 89.7 x 73.5 centimeters . As the title implies, Rembrandt as a young man is the only figure in the portrait. He is set slightly off-center to the viewer's left and his body is angled so as to present his right shoulder to the viewer. His face is not in three-quarter view but rather is turned almost directly toward the viewer, though still not straight on. His small, beady eyes look out towards the spectator and his mouth is slightly open as if he has been interrupted in mid-speech. He looks as if he is in casual conversation with the spectator or maybe just turning to face in our direction as if someone had called his name. Either way, it is an expression of interest or concern. His face structure is very soft and thin, |

Poe's Ideal Hero - The Murders in the Rue MorgueThroughout Edgar Allen Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," it's quite clear that the narrator of the story holds Dupin with great admiration. Poe uses the narrator to allow his readers to feel as if they're taking part in Dupin's investigations. However, the reader, the narrator, and every other character in the book is left in the dark when it comes to Dupin's discoveries until he reveals them, because they are unable to come to those conclusions themselves. When Dupin asks his friend what he thinks about the murders he replies he, "could merely agree with all Paris" (51). This develops upon the fact that Dupin is a breed of his own, separated from the entirety of the population of Paris because of his knowledge and experience with detective work. It is also because Dupin is able to reach conclusions which a rational mind would not. This paper contends that Dupin's otherworldly knowledge and perfect combination of deductive reasoning and leaps of faith make him the ideal hero wit |

An Overview of Asperger's SyndromeNot all people with Asperger's syndrome are alike. Some may be seen as quirky individuals, while others obviously have some type of disability. It's not always easy to tell if a person has Asperger's Syndrome, because the symptoms of it vary so much from person to person. Asperger's syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is characterized as a pervasive developmental disorder, meaning individuals suffer from social impairment exemplifying odd behaviors and interests. ASDs are considered neurodevelopmental disorders and are present in infancy. Asperger's syndrome is considered by many to be the mildest form of ASD ("Asperger Syndrome Fact Sheet"). Asperger's syndrome affects a person's ability to socialize and communicate with other individuals. Symptoms include lack of eye contact, few facial expressions, speaking in a monotonous voice, and difficulty understanding emotions (Mayo Clinic). They generally don't make friends easily, and have difficulty in group settings ("A |
