...Holy cow, they're telling me I HAVE to give something specific, and yet take away the temptation of academic cheating! Ahhhh! Ok, so my first thought is to go with something easy like lying vs. telling the truth...but I really don't have anything specific or monumental. Thus, I am thinking about going with a religious topic. Before you guys throw down the idea here is my reasoning....for those of us who actively practice certain religious beliefs, those beliefs are what form the basis of what we consider moral vs. immoral. It's true that universal "morals" exist, but the ones specific to our religion are no less significant than the morals observed universally by society. Thus, I feel it would be appropriate to discuss this. Even then I'm not sure what I'll choose...we've got sex, drugs (ok, bad idea!), porn, etc. Also, I'm tempted to go with a big failure to show that I'm being open and honest, that I learned something etc.....or should I just go with some safe temptation that I "succeeded" with?Holy cow, they're telling me I HAVE to give something specific, and yet take away the temptation of academic cheating!

You guys can still swing together but go a little slower.” “Ok, daddy,” says Jackson. “Love you, daddy,” says Avery. “Love you too.” Now, where is a bench that I can sit on because I am so tired?

Therapist: Well Joey, Ms Simpson is your teacher and she is trying to teach you good things that will help you grow up to be a good smart boy. Why does she make you mad when she tells you what to do? Joey: I told you lady im the boss! I don’t have to listen to my teachers, my mom, my dad, or you. I don’t have to listen to anyone. I know everything.

...Girth of a Nation “We have sparked a global obesity crisis. Way to go, America. Making the world safe for diabetes.” America has kissed the bottom end of the big obesitymeter – now sixty million American adults – thirty percent of the adults in the working age are obese. Problem? Certainly! But, what about the future? Have we treated our children in the right way – or have we led them on to the road of eternal obesity and everlasting oblivion? Well… Some have. Sixteen percent of American children are either overweight or obese. It’s not just the outraging teenagers who become obese; you find obesity as early as the age of two. Scary? Totally! Morgan Spurlock has written “Girth of a nation” as the second chapter of his book “Don’t eat this book” – it’s written in a colloquial language – but still a language containing in large quantities. You can see and example below: “America's growing waistlines are hurting the bottom lines of airline companies as the extra pounds on passengers are causing a drag on planes.” Morgan uses the rhetorical device of pathos – but not as we know it in general, but instead a negative way of pathos. Used in the way that you have no sympathy at all, for the case that Morgan Spurlock is trash talking. Morgan is having a guilt trip on the parents, to the obese children – the parents that led their children eat fast food, and do not require any kind of exercise and healthy lifestyle. In the same way that Morgan Spurlock argues for the irresponsibility...

...I was waiting by the phone. My stomach was turning. I felt like I was going to throw up. AHHHH!!! I was waiting for the call that would pave the way for my next four years in high school. As I entered my freshman year in high school, I applied to the Renaissance Program. Renaissance is a leadership program and few freshmen are selected to join. The focus is to motivate, inspire, recognize, and celebrate student success. The program also recognizes staff for the commitment, vision, and dedication to student success. I really wanted to be part of this program as it impacted futures and changed lives. The application process was not easy. It consisted of a written essay and tough interview, which consisted of a panel of the executive council and the advisor. I was one of the seven who made it! As long as I can remember, I have been helping people in one way or the other. My parents taught me early on the importance of caring for others. My earliest experience was as a member of the Girl Scouts. Unlike the people in Girl Scouts who were thrilled by the cookies and the campfires, all the events where we assisted and served the community were especially gratifying for me. These early experiences are what influenced me to apply for this Renaissance Program. Coming into the program my freshmen year, I had a junior member who had three years of experience behind her training me and showing me the ropes of the class. My first year in the class, I was more of a follower than a leader...

...Prelude 12/21 The bloodied background of the sky showed that the sun was giving into midnight's cold glamour. Another day had ended, another cold night began. But something had happened that day. Something odious, something vile. For on that day, there had been a murder. A murder that had left police baffled and the townsfolk frightened for their lives as they did not understand why something like this happened in their tiny town. The thing that scared them the most were the words. For the meaning of the words were unclear to the people and the only person who understood language like that was now dead. Dead on the night before the Winter Solstice. And death before the Winter Solstice meant bad luck for years to come. For all. Vision 1 : The Mortician's Daughter The snow cracked under his feet as he walked through the forest. It was eerily quit. No wind, No noise, nothing. Dead trees lay alongside the pathway as he slowly made his way up to the house. But something here was not right. No lights were on, no voices were to be heard, all signs of LIFE were missing. He looked around. The only thing he could see was a raven perched on a nearby branch. A raven?! Not possible, he thought. All the birds had already migrated south to escape the harsh hands of winter. His eyes were playing tricks on him. But the closer he looked, and the harder he focused, he began to realize that the raven was quite real. Shivering, he continued his way up to the house. He had a bad feeling about this...

...the Monte-Carlo? It was a sunny; warmth summer day, the sky was baby blue with the features of creamy white soft clouds. With the cool breeze blowing softly, the day was innocently inviting, so I went out for a ride. Father and dominant brothers were in the drive-way, worked strenuously on father’s broken red truck. “Oh shoot! What am I going to do now?” I silently questioned myself with one eyebrow slightly upwards. “How am I going to get to the Monte Carlo.?” I kept talking to myself as I tried to think of some tactic, to get pass father and brothers, to get to the monte carlo, parked on the street. “Where do you think, you’re going young lady?” My father asked as I was too focused on getting into the shining brown Monte Carlo. “Ahhhh! I’m getting Mama some ice cream.” The voice belonged to me as I hopped into the interior of the Monte carol and made my way to the store. That day, I was going north on Atlantic Ave in Long Beach, through a heavy street traffic. With music blasting as I yelled sang my lungs out, it was another typical short ride to the store. To ignore the fear of my father’s voice, when I cruised off the house, I went fast, too fast passing numerous cars, despite of the busy traffic as I drove down on Atlantic Ave towards my destination. One quick second, that’s all it takes for everything to go right or wrong. My dark brown eyes opened and noticed that my windshield was shattered in pieces. Blinking a few times and realized that it wasn’t a dream and...

You take that finger and knead on your nipples arching your back as your hand continues down your body to the hot wet folds of your pussy, and you let out a triumphant moan as you feel the SUV accelerate. I snap out of my quick moment of weakness to let up on the gas, I can’t let you beat me like this. So I wrap my hand around my cock pulling him down between my thighs and stroke and milk him still knowing that I can’t win but refusing to concede. I give you a quick sideways glance, you’re smart and won’t give me the satisfaction of even looking, instead you bring your now wet glistening hand to your mouth and slide your fingers between those perfect lips and into your mouth with a delicious moan just to hear me whimper with jealousy. AHHHH! A red light, and still only half way home. I’m cracking under the pressure; I reach and caress your hair as you’re pleasuring yourself, your skin flush, your beautiful exposed breast heaving and your swollen lips parted to take in air. You push your head back into the seat hard, your legs shake and your whole body...

...known location where new cells are continually added in our lifetimes, helping us grow mentally by storing new experiences and information that we may need in the future. As the day goes on, we experience more events in our lives, changing the way we think and act. As time passes, people develop better emotional stability. Now that we know what aging is, let’s discuss the why. So, why do we age? We have a biological clock built inside our bodies that counts down the days until we die. Why try hard in school when we are all going to die? Just kidding. Stay in school, kids. But, the concept sounds simple, right? Wrong. The reason we age, biologically, is that our cells are constantly dividing. Every time they divide, they make copies of DNA. Ahhhh, I remember learning this in biology. My hippocampus is aging, after all. Once the cells stop dividing, they begin to lose their functions and die off, resulting in our bodies changing and aging. Changes in the body include the cells, tissues, and organs, affecting the functions of our systems. As the cells begin to degrade in their functions, they become more stiff, making organs, blood vessels, and airways rigid. Aged organs lose their functions and bones begin to decrease in density. Why was Rihanna singing about the monster under her bed when it’s inside of us? So how do we fight the effects of aging? That’s easy of course! By drinking the blood of the young! Yeah, seriously.

...Option B: Should marketers be responsible for the way their products are used by consumers? Discuss using the beer category as an example. Corporate Social Responsibility should be the first priority of marketers when promoting goods that can and may become harmful to their consumers. The World Business Council for Sustainable Development defines CSR as “the continuing commitment by business to contribute to economic development, while improving the quality of life of the workforce and their families as well as of the community and society at large.", or simply “the ethical behavior of a company toward society.” (Meeting Changing Expectations ( http://www.wbcsd.ch). Marketing is essentially getting the products out there visible to their target market so they can be purchased. Marketing can also be defined as preparing potential customers to become your customers; it is not selling; it is the preparation work to selling. Whatever your definitions, CSR and Marketing has a serious impact on the corporate’s development and both are used to build a very good image in each corporation as well as the driving forces behind the company’s profits. To answer the question, I will focus mainly on the Alcohol Companies, specifically Mike’s Hard Lemonade, who will from this moment be referred to as MHL So who are the targets for MHL?
