.... is an extremely resilient individual. He has endured a great amount and is able to use these experiences to catapult himself to the top. A business is extremely difficult to start and once started, there are many obstacles to face. The road to a successful business is a very treacherous one that leaves many people heartbroken or hopeless. The boss is an example of someone who has traveled this treacherous road successfully, and therefore has a thriving business. The boss is shown to be intelligent through his success and also by the way he contemplates a situation before making a decision or an assumption. For example, when the boss is confronted with .....

.... said "We think business should be an entity to provide service to the community." Unfortunately most business is only interested in making money and can careless about social issues, unless it in the long run will help make more money. Ben & Jerry's seem sincere to want to make a noticeable difference in the world. The Ben & Jerry's foundation, established in 1985, receives 7.5 percent of the company's yearly pretax profits, which is donated to charities. Ben & Jerry's has two bottom lines: one is profit and, the other is "how much the company contributed to the quality of life." The Peace Pop and Ice Cream bar on a stick was packaged with a message s .....

.... state of nature in which life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. Hobbes' view started off when he stated that the first principle of human behavior was egoism, or self-interest, and it was this egoism, that was the root of all social conflict. Although Hobbes stated that all people are roughly equal, still, if someone has more, others have less. The insecurity regarding what you can keep leads to violence. "where there are no restraints on people's actions, it leads to the war of 'all against all'" says Hobbes. So, Hobbes is basically saying, any state is better than the state of nature, be glad that the state is there. Even if it is a corr .....

.... season. The most stressful part of this job, in both softball and baseball, is complying with the specific rules that must be followed during a game. Planning the line-up takes a lot of thought and careful consideration. Every player on the roster must play at least one inning of the game, or loss by forfeiture will result. As in both sports, the umpire's judgements are official. Parents think they have the last say with coaches. Wrong! A coach cannot please everyone. Few of the parents will complain of their child having certain disadvantages. Among all types of criticism a coach faces, the one heard the most is that their child has not been g .....

.... That 15% may not seem like a lot, but when you consider the millions of tons of toxic waste that we produce every year, that 15% is enormous. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that we produce one ton of toxic wastes for every single person living in Canada every year. That means that the 15% represents about 4.2 million tons of toxic waste. Toxic wastes which are dumped in improper sites can seep into underground water supplies and contaminate huge areas. If the land that is intoxicated supports plant life, most of the plants and trees will die off. If the area is lived on by humans, it could cause serious illness or death. For exa .....

.... of homelessness in the United States is the inability of poor people to afford housing. "Housing costs have risen significantly over the last decade, while the incomes of poor and middle-class Americans have stagnated." (Erickson 1991) The millions of Americans who are unemployed or work in low-paying jobs are among the most vulnerable to becoming homeless. Therefore, homelessness, housing and income are inextricably linked. Low-income people are frequently unable to pay for housing, food, child-care, health care, and education. Difficult choices must be made when limited resources cover only some of these necessities. Often it is housing, which takes a h .....

.... In a polite manner, the teacher told me to sit next to those girls at the corner. At first they were quiet and then the whispers began. “Oye chulo,” they began to call me. I didn't know what to do, so I did what any guy with a great girlfriend would do, played dumb. Then they began telling each other that I was probably rich and conceited. Their remarks about my clothing and the color of my eyes and hair, surprised me. I was not upset because they were Hispanic. I am sure that I would have been mad if an Anglo-saxon girl would have talked bad about a hispanic guy or girl. Another time hispanics thought I was Anglo-saxon, was when my best frien .....

.... ways. I believe that this keeps the student from expressing their true feelings about the topic. They end up thinking more about how much they hate the assignment or the teacher. I do agree that you must teach the students how to write. That is where the English textbooks come into play. There, they can expand the student’s mind with new ideas. Whether or not they decide to use them is up to the individual. In Elbow’s writing, he says, “The most effective way I know to improve your writing is to do free writing exercises regularly” (Elbow 62). Because I am not one to write in a journal everyday, I cannot personally agree or disagree w .....
