... also allows students to get a sense of independence as they are not always relying on mom and dad to give them money. For example, your friend Jim has a job making sundaes at dairy queen. Jim works about 24 hours a week and makes $4.50 an hour. At the end of that week , Jim has $80 that he can call his own. Jim could go to the movies, buy a new pair of shoes, or do whatever he wants to do with it. Jim worked hard for his money and after all, it is his money. Another alternative to spending this hard earned money is to save it in a bank and use it for college. This is all fine and dandy but what about school and ...

... not. At least my union newsletter, the BEA_Messenger, says I'm not in an article on multicultural awareness. I for one take pride in our nation's history in regard to minorities. Minority groups founded this nation. The religious groups who felt the pressure of persecution in their homelands came here to begin new lives, and eventually a new nation. The ethnic groups that came in a great flood of immigrants came to escape the economic oppression of their homelands. Those groups, too, found a way to become part of the American experience. They didn't need, nor did they demand, any laws requiring acceptance into so ...

... It is when we are comfortable that we are not motivated to confront our own ambitions and feelings and simply run away from them - and are doomed to remain trapped in our golden cages of Comfort. When we are comfortable, our activities and behaviour tend to take on familiar patterns. Patterns become habits; habits become routines; and before we know it those routines become a rut. And the only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth of the hole! The results of being in a Comfort Zone are that we simply shut off any ideas of alternatives, of options that lie outside our own narrow existences. L ...

... labor, and would still be considered O.K. by our standards. Child work is defined in that young children can do various types of jobs, because it can be good for them in terms of building character, responsibility, and a good work ethic. But child work must be done in the context of education, and not interfere with the childs development in the terms of activities, sports, and music. Now child labor can be defined as where children are put to work in jobs that have been done by, or could be done by, adults. Child labor is where the children are exploited and also is when they are worked in conditions that are ...

... the men in the family slipped out of her mud hut while her mother- in- law mashed poisonous oleander seeds into a dollop of oil and forced it down the infant’s throat (John Anderson, 1993, p. 6). After the infants death, under the cover of nightfall, Rani buried the infant in a nearby field in an unmarked grave. “I never felt any sorrow,� Rani , a farm laborer with a weather beaten face, said through a interpreter. “ There was a lot of bitterness in my heart toward the baby because the gods should have given me a son.�(John Anderson, 1993, p. 6) Each year thousands of newborn girls are murdered by ...

... rough at times. I had to come to a realization that the parents are not the "bad guys." Through this time, I grew very close to my dad. I was able to talk to him by expressing my feelings and hurts, rather than turn to other alternatives to try to solve my problems. After my dad re-married, we went through some rough times. However, my father and ‘step’ mom have always been there for me during all of the problems that every teenager must face. For example, I just went through a rough time after my boyfriend broke up with me Saturday night, the day before Valentine’s Day. Not only was my best friend able ...

... opened(a theater in London) on March 3rd, 1585.(Sarah Howarth, 19). The Globe theater in London attracted the most audiences, stated Sarah Howarth(19-20). During the Elizabethan times it became almost routine for each successive Lord Mayor to appeal if a theatrical performance was in the city(John Brown, 173). The theater was responsible for the inspiration of many authors. The expression it showed was experimental(Sarah Howarth, 21). A lot of famous people were involved in all the process of theater, such as Palidio, William Shakespeare, and Lope de Vega(Sarah Howarth, 19-21, John Brown 173-219). William Sh ...

... What it has become is a target for gluttonous mothers and others who have no values. Many mothers who are on welfare have become used to it, and instead of using the money and aid to stay alive while they look for a job, they are sitting at home waiting by the mailbox for the next check to come in. In the meantime, many mothers are having more kids, because-more kids, more welfare money. These women relish the thought of getting free money in the mail-for doing absolutely nothing. Welfare is destroying out culture. Many argue that welfare is necessary for many families, and that it must not be cut. Some a ...

... Enlightenment culture. He had the time and the resources to educate himself in many topics including history, literature, law, architecture, science, and philosophy. He had the motivation and the connections to apply Enlightenment political philosophy to nation-building. Denis Diderot was a French encyclopedist and philosopher, who also composed plays, novels, essays, and art. He greatly influenced other Enlightenment thinkers with his translations of Encyclopedie ou dictionnaire raisonne des sciences, des arts et des metiers, usually known as Encyclopedie. He used this translation as a powerful propaganda wea ...

... the poor. Rockefeller was a snake. But the name-calling did not come from the consumers; it was the competing businesses that complained. The newspapers expanded on these comments, calling them "robber barons." These are inaccurate terms for these businessmen. They were not barons because they all started penniless and they were not robbers because they did not take it from anyone else. Vanderbilt got rich by making travel and shipping faster, cheaper, and more luxurious. He built bigger, faster, and more efficient ships. He served food on his ships, which the customers liked is a selfish desire for more than on ...
