This took a great deal of initiative due to the fact that many people dream of owning their own business, having freedom, and being sucsessful. But this is only a dream for many people because these people don't take the initiative or the risk it takes to own thier own business. Another example of this is , " Bill Gates."

.... as the world would strip them of their innate morality and piety; it also challenged the "domestic ideal" (p.141) for women as the factory girls were not dressing themselves as ladies. Thus, the fact that girls were moving away from home conflicted with the ideal that women should be moral and guiding homemakers, and the fact that they were not dressing like "ladies" conflicted with the ideal image of a woman.

The next surfboards to follow were made in the 1950¡¦s, this time the boards where made of balsa wood and then covered in a layer of fiberglass, these boards reached a length of about 9-10 feet long. In the 1960¡¦s the long board was introduced and was made of Styrofoam and again, covered in fiberglass. In the 70¡¦s the short board took over, which had a similar design to the long boards but were only around 6 foot in length.

In the book The Overworked American, author Juliet Schor (1991) reports that 30 percent of adults have reported experiencing high levels of stress on a daily basis. There is an even higher percentage of adults who have claimed to have high levels of stress at least once or twice a week.

.... kept hidden, was that the rats were chosen at random. There were no rats that were especially bright or dull. Another case of the experimenter expectancy effect was that of the horse known as “Clever Hans”. It seemed to be able to read, spell, and solve math problems by kicking his leg a number of times. The horse was tested and passed, but what the experts did not realize was that their own hopes for the horse to answer the questions, were giving the horse signs on which he based his answers. That is, if someone on the committee raised his/her eyebrows in anticipation of the oncoming correct answer, the horse would stop stomping. Once again, the experi .....
