The Fit and Healthy LifestyleThe world we live in is changing each and every day. Unfortunately, in some cases, it is only changing for the worse. A long time ago there were not many obese people. This is because people ate foods that did not contain chemicals, preservatives, or artificial colors or flavors. Not to mention, most everyone made their own meals because eating out was essentially a huge treat that did not happen very often. It seems as if every day I see more fast food restaurants opening or I see a new episode on TV of "My 500 lb Life". In addition, less and less people are enjoying the outdoors, which ultimately leads to depression, which then potentially leads to gaining weight. By following some simple steps that I have experienced throughout my journey of trying to live a healthier and more fit lifestyle, there is hope to those who would like to change. I am very fortunate with the body I am blessed with. I have always been a small girl, roughly 115 lbs and 5'2 in height. However, being natura |

Thousands were suffering and had to make the best out of what they had. People of the Great Depression suffered because of the loss of jobs, stock market crash and debt. The novel, Cannery Row, by John Steinbeck, characters live on Cannery Row during the Great Depression in Monterey, California. These extraordinary characters face the difficulties of the Great Depression. In Cannery Row, Steinbeck symbolizes the suffering and economic crash of the Great Depression through characters living conditions, suicides and a party. Mr. and Mrs.Malloy lived in difficult and uncomfortable conditions during the Great Depression. Steinbeck agrees when he writes " In 1935 Mr and Mrs.Sam Malloy moved into the boiler...you had to get down on your hands and knees(Steinbeck 48). The couple had couldn't afford a home so they had to live in a boiler where getting in was very unpleasant. Since jobs and homes were lost many people in Cannery Row had to use the resources like a boiler to make a home. Furthermore, some characters in Cannery Row h |

Opera Experience - The Elixir of LoveTo sit through three hours of an opera, offers an experience that cannot be obtained in any way. The orchestra, powerful with unamplified voices, sets, costumes, and the opera house itself enables the audience to experience an impeccable journey. A grand experience, for not only the audience, but also the people who made the production possible. I believe this is largely due to the grandness of every element in the opera itself. In operas the the stories are big, consequences are huge, the emotions writ, sung and staged large. Overall, the experience once again is a grand and overwhelming one. This production, The Elixir of Love, managed to look and feel real, with real passion, real sorrow, real despair. There is a difference between attending an opera, and listening or watching pieces strung together in a recording of selections. In addition, it is another experience to hear the parts emerging from passages that you're not really paying attention to. If these pieces are heard outsi |

Informative Speech on the NHLToday I will inform you on the history and background of the National Hockey League. When you think of hockey, what goes through your head? Do you think of fighting or just a fast game? What about a few guys with toothless grins and going for wins? Originally the championship trophy of the NHL was donated by Lord Stanley of Preston. Having paid nearly $50 for this cup, he wanted to award the best team in the league. It was originally gifted to the winner of a challenge series between Ottawa and Montreal. Competition for this cup expanded and teams competed for the title of best in the dominion of Canada. The NHL would eventually form and adopt this trophy for itself. Hockey has expanded throughout the world, from Canada to Australia. My name is _____ and I am currently a player of the game as are many others. I enjoy playing hockey and admiring those who professionally play. Today I will discuss the competition before the NHL, the formation of the NHL, and its development from that ti |

Media, Crime and VictimizationThe purpose of this essay is to look at how the media is a source of 'knowledge' to present crime and victimisation and how the media invokes 'moral panics' about crime and lawless behaviour. There are a number of individuals who think when a person commits a crime they are punished for that crime. However, there is more to crime than just punishment. The media plays an important role in the construction of crime and lawless behaviour. Society's perception of victims, criminals, deviants and punishment is influenced by their portrayal in the mass media. In his book, Marshall MacLuhan stated that " Everybody experiences far more than he understands. Yet it is experience, rather than understanding, that influences behaviour, especially in collective matters of media and technology, where the individual is almost inevitably unaware of their effects upon him", ( Mcluhan, Marshall; H.Lapham Lewis 1994). This is an all round example of the how the media impacts our perception of crime. Sin |

Decline of the Mughal EmpireIt has been estimated that whilst the Indian GDP diminished from 80% to less than 15% between the years of 1650 to 1871, the British living standards rose rapidly. The years of economic decline corresponds with the years of decline for the Mughal Empire that was terminated in 1858. Babur founded the Mughal Empire after the battle of Panipat in 1526 and his descendants governed India from 1526 to the early 18th century. However, he left an unresolved political condition when he died in 1530. Akbar was the one who could control Hindustan with his effective policies. Mughals rule overstretched to cover nearly all of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh from 1556 to 1570. Great rulers like Akbar, Jahangir, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb were produced during the period. However, according to Raghunath Rai, Aurangzeb's policies of religious tolerance had deteriorated the empire. On the other hand, some historians predict that the decline commenced from Shah Jahan's time when the rulers spen |

Contributions of Women to American LifeFrom the very start of the American life, right after the Revolutionary War, the rights of women were intruded upon. Most people believed that women could not do the same things that men have been doing such as fighting for their own rights. However, many women proved these people wrong by fighting for the rights of those who could not speak up for themselves. One woman, Margaret Sanger, created birth control so that women could have the choice of when they wanted to have a child. Mary Harris Jones (Mother Jones), fought for the rights of children working in the mines and fought for both regulations and standards to be put into place for those workers. Both of these women helped to advance the United States of America by fighting for the rights of others and never giving up, even when faced with adversity. Margaret Sanger and Mary Jones are two women who had a highly significant impact on American life during the early twenties. Margaret Sanger was an American writer, sex educator, n |

Analysis of The Inivisible ManThe United States of America, during the 1950's, was generally described as a figure of growth and improvement. Along with its mark of economic growth in regards to an increase of manufacturing and home construction, it is not a question why former British Prime Minister Winston Churchhill quoted that, "America at this moment, stands at the summit of the world." The United States had the world's strongest military power and its economy was booming. The fruits of this prosperity were very evident in the lives of the people – new cars, suburban houses, and other consumer goods- all of these were made available to more people than ever before. However, the 1950's were also an era of great conflict, as people realized that the freedom that they so painstakingly fought for has only been attained by a privileged few, that freedom was nothing but a speech made by masters who broke off their chains but not the ridicule and shame that comes with it; that even with them freed fro |

The Shawshank Redemption - Directed by Frank DarabontFrank Darabont's film "The Shawshank Redemption" (1994) is a deep meaningful representation of friendship within a prison. It shows us how hope can be encountered in a dark and deceitful place, how both literal and figurative walls trap Andy. To the end, Darabont uses symbolism in his description of setting, in his use of camera angles and lighting. The setting of "The Shawshank Redemption" is complete with strong symbolism.The Shawshank prison is a dark, deceitful place of confinement where inmates spend their days letting their minds wonder over the little things in their lifetime. It's walls stained grey and black; its bars are rusty and cold; rooms damp, clay lines the walls in a minimalistic style. The symbolism serves several purposes. Firstly, it turns the setting into a dark hole of blankness, everything looks drab and dull. Secondly, it betrays the fact that a reduction of hope has taken place within the walls of the prison: the thick grey walls are closin |

The Friendship of George and LennieHave you ever had the kind of friend that always forgave you for the largest outcomes, no matter how bad the repercussions were? How about the one who holds you back, yet you still stay with them every step of the way? That was the kind of friendship George Milton and Lennie Small had in the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. This story takes place in Soledad, California in the mid 1900s where it was hard to live on your own; where everybody fell into a trance of owning their own land and being free from the rest of the world. That dream is what drove George and Lennie to work on someone else's farm in order to get the money to buy that big ol' piece of land. No matter what George did to Lennie, George was always forgiven by Lennie and even praised sometimes. As well as George always sticking around with Lennie even when he caused problems for them both. This is true friendship in every way possible. George and Lennie have been together since Lennie's aunt, Clara, passed a |

Nihilism in Fathers and SonsNihilism is derived from the Latin word 'nihil', meaning 'nothing'. It is a belief that argues, the world is without essential value or objective meaning. It can also be looked at as a response to the Tsarist reform during the 1860s in Russia. Nihilism as a belief in Russia questioned authority, existing moral structures and social codes, with the goal of overthrowing the authority of the Czar. In the 19th century, Russia was a place surrounded by political and social changes. The boom in industrialization created wealth disparities and formed new classes of people - as the earlier aristocratic power transformed into a plutocratic one. The cities grew rapidly, taking over the agrarian lifestyles. Western ideas came about which instilled the desire to have a constitution defending human rights and democracy. Nihilism culminated into an enormous political movement which has been represented through the character of Bazarov in the novel "Fathers and Sons" by Ivan Tu |

The Increase of Genetically Modified Foods (GMO)Persuasive Speech Introduction: Card #1 One day a mother who recently moved to the United States with her family went grocery shopping for the first time in an American Super Market. She is someone that puts consideration into her family's daily diet. Much to her surprise there were no labels on her food regarding whether they were genetically modified or not. Now the reason why the mother was so shocked to see no labels was because in 1997 The European Union enforced mandatory labeling on all food products. She could not believe that as a consumer in the US, she was not rightfully informed in order to make decisions about her food. Earlier this year in February, investment watch blog quoted Democrat Representative Peter DeFazio stating "we cannot continue to keep Americans in the dark about the food they eat." According to Food Safety News, "more than sixty other countries make it easy for consumers to choose. Why should the U.S. be any different?" The non |

Joint Engagement Intervention for Toddlers with AutismAutism is a disability often found to be present in the early stages of childhood that causes difficulty in communication, as well as forming relationships with others. Autism also causes issues with language and concepts. In early years, children who show lack of engagement with their caregivers, such as not being responsive to a caregiver, or not being interested in showing them a new toy, are often diagnosed with autism (Kasari, 2010). According to the article, Randomized Control Caregiver Mediated Joint Engagement Intervention for Toddlers with Autism, studies have been and are being conducted to show how interventions and training for children with autism can strengthen their engagement skills. The main purpose of the research conducted is to show if joint attention intervention between toddlers and caregivers would cause an increase in a joint engagement (Kasari, 2010). Verbal and non-verbal skills are important since this is how we communicate to one another and increases deve |

The Use of IdiomsThere is a history behind the idioms we use in everyday life. They have been around as early as the 19th century. People often wonder where the idioms, "barking up the wrong tree", "costs an arm and a leg", and "knock on wood" came from. These idioms should not be taken literally. Idioms will be passed on for generations to come based on their history, out of habit, and just for the fun of it. Although the origin of "costs an arm and a leg" is unclear there are a few possible theories as to when it originated. Some say it originated from the early 20th century, possibly during one of the major World Wars. It states that soldiers, because of their heavy involvement in war and being in the line of fire, can sometimes lose a hand, foot, leg, or arm. Thus, the war literally cost the person their arm or leg, which was certainly a high price to pay. The earliest recording found was in the mid-20th century and it says, " |

Elements of Psychosis in the Movie MiseryThe 1990 film Misery, based on the novel by Stephen King, is a psychological horror picture about a novelist, named Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from a car crash by a psychopathic fan, named Annie Wilkes. Paul is taken to Annie's home, where he is forced to write a book and undergo both physical and psychological torture. Rob Reiner, the director of the film, uses archetypal symbolism to form essential components of the plot. He weaves a complex storyline, one revolving around the captor, Annie Wilks. It is through the use of subtle symbolism that the audience comes to understand and grasp the enormity of Annie Wilke's psychosis. Within the motion picture Misery, the director uses the setting to stir the emotions of the audience and draw the observer into the disturbed psychosis of Annie Wilkes. A farm house in the woods, to many, may stir up feelings of peace and solidarity, for families all over the world often get away from the hustle and bustle of the real world and take comfort |

A Look at the Beat GenerationAh! The noble search for identity. That intangible achievement that all artists lust after and lay in torment over. And during the post war era that struggle reached incredible magnitudes. The world cried out for legions of anti-heroes, who were only virtuous in their unapologetic and brutally honest lack of virtue. And the art world provided as many counter culture messiahs as was needed to "Damn the Man". The Beats, hippies, and punks are evidence that behind the white picket fence of suburbia lay an America that wanted more out of life than the sugar coated portrayals of domesticity and patriotism it received from pop culture. The unfortunate side of authenticity often lead to the conclusion that autonomy was an impossible dream and that just mere existence required an individual to compromise his integrity. The post-war generation developed an interesting love-hate relationship with the mass culture of it's time. Some, like Andy Warhol, embraced the inevitability of mass culturaliz |

Misery - An Archetypal AnalysisThe 1990 hit film "Misery," by Rob Reiner, is a rich and prime example of archetypes seems appearing.The title Misery came from the old french word "misere" which means misfortune and suffering and also in today's dictionaries the word misery is defined a cause or source of discomfort which the main character undergoes. The movie shows the two main character are competing to one another's goal. The archetypal elaborations to symbols shown are very well established to urge the diagnostics of the patterns that foreshadows the movie. Starting with the main character Paul Sheldon, a great writer and admirable famous novelist who has a custom of writing his books into the cottages of Silver Creek, Colorado. Silver usually seen as a color of purity which also heard at the folk lures that could kill vampires and werewolves. Silver Creek is also an ideal place for the writer to make book, for it is ambient and far from any kind of destructions. The name Paul is defined hu |

Amino Acids and ChromatographyAbstract This experiment uses paper chromatography to determine whether a sample is a mixture of amino acids and to identify the components of the sample. Paper chromatography employs the competing tendency of amino acids to dissolve in a chosen mixture and move them over a stationary material due to differences in their polarity. The mixture used to pass over the stationary material is of methyl ethyl ketone, propionic acid, and water. By passing that mixture slowly through a stationary material, paper in this case, the differentiation of the amino acids' polarity becomes possible. The differentiation is recognized because each one's competing tendency to dissolve will cause certain compounds of solvents to move through relatively quickly, since they are very soluble in the fluid and only weakly absorbed, and some to move through very slowly, because they are much less soluble in the fluid and are strongly absorbed. In relation, a very polar compound will move further up the stationar |

A Modern Model of Economic JusticeIn Arora's article "What Do We Deserve?," the author muses on the question about how much what people bring home is fair or unfair, whether people deserve everything what they have or don't. Aurora brings up "three major approaches to distributive economic justice: libertarian, meritocratic, and egalitarian" (Aurora). All three models aren't perfect, however they all present in our world. In this essay, I am going to analyze libertarian, meritocratic, and egalitarian models, which were presented in Aurora's article, while presenting my own view on which model of economic justice would satisfy modern society. In my opinion, it is nearly impossible to create a perfect model of economic justice. People can create a new model of economic justice which would satisfy a huge amount of people, but it would never satisfy all society. Each society treats the word "equality" differently, therefore equality for one society could not mean equality for another society. On |
