...How do you remember Durango City as a good place to live or as an unsafe and poor place for your family? When the new president of Mexico, Enrique Pena Nieto took the power in December 2012 it started to make a big difference in the life of all the Mexicans. Some of the people say that the changes are for the welfare, but some people say that it was better before he took the power. There are two marked differences before and after Pena Nieto come to power; One of the most obvious differences is the security. In the past Durango Mexico was one of the most peaceful and nice places for live. Young people could go out and have fun when they wanted, they could be on the street at night without worrying about anything. Parents could leave their children playing in the streets without being afraid that something bad will happen to them. Most of the families had their own business to earn enough to support the whole family. However, now Durango Mexico is considered one of the dangerous cities where the young people are afraid to go out at night because of the severe abduction, murders and assaults. Parents cannot leave theirs children playing outside od home by themselves because in the two last year Durango has had problems abducted children for organ trafficking. Most family businesses have been closed due to fear of the attackers now the persons prefer to be or look The education is the second differences. Two years ago the...

...peoples lives today. 70% of the world's population have cellphones. These days, people and their mobile phones seem to be inseparable. Texting or calling someone when we wake up has become a usual habit just like brushing our teeth in the morning. For many of us, it's hard to imagine a time before cellphones. Having a cellphone has changed our manners, the way we communicate, and our safety. Before cellphones there seemed to be more peace and quite. People seemed to have manners. Today people don't always remember their manners when using their cellphones. People constantly carrying on personal conversations in a public place can be very annoying. Some people talk really loud and don't care that everyone around them can hear every word they are saying. It can be extremely disturbing to someone when they are walking in a mall or down a street and someone starts speaking right beside or behind them. They turn to respond, only to find out he or she beside them has an earbud active. Before we had cellphones people would actually write letters. During my elementary school days it was “cool” to pass notes. We actually used complete sentences and words that were in the dictionary. Also before cellphones if someone was to leave the house, they didn’t make a phone call unless they popped 10 cents into a pay phone. People never received any calls away from home. People actually had to be out of touch with friends and family when they weren’t at home. Now that we have cell phones letters...

...Life Before and After the Internet 3/6/2010 COMPOSITION I-136 Bianca Myles THESIS This paper contains how life without the internet used to be as opposed to how life is now that the internet is available for everything. It’s hard to imagine what life was like before the Internet. I’ve been using it for half of my life. Today’s generation is growing with it. There are kids that don’t even know the difference between life before and after the Internet came along. I’m sure you can tell the difference. The internet has revolutionized the way we do the simplest tasks that before the internet came along might take some time to accomplish. For instance, the way we bank has been changed. Now instead of walking into a banking center to do a simple money transfer you can now do this online with more banks offering their customers online banking they make it easier to transfer money from your checking to your savings and vice versa. Online banking allows you to monitor your banking history and transactions you make on a daily basis. Banks also allow you to open new accounts online which also save you time and money from driving to and from the branch.

You can cross reference outstanding checks against you’re the balance you have available. The internet...

...Fortune commissioned a team of reporters to reach out to the companies who were World Trade Center tenants during the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and find out where they are 10 years later. Numbers were provided by company representatives or employees who worked in the towers, with some additional data coming from Port Authority records, wire reports and other sources. Contractors and consultants are generally not listed, though some firms did include them in their count. Several firms were only able to provide an estimate for total number of employees, though exact figures were used when possible. A few companies, including Dun & Bradstreet and Washington Group (now part of URS Corporation), declined to participate or provide information and were not included. Because of 10 years of mergers and acquisitions, it was difficult to find precise figures for several of the major businesses in the towers. The 2011 location refers to the closest possible equivalent of the divisions and branches that were housed in the World Trade Center. Where this information was not available because those offices no longer existed in their 2001 incarnations, Fortune used the headquarters of the parent company to represent current location. In most cases, the current employee count refers only to the specific office shown on the map, and does not include other offices around the country or the world. The size of those offices and divisions does not necessarily reflect the growth or performance...

...The hegemonic self unleashed Have you ever caught yourself talking with your inner self? I am sure that at some point you asked your inner self a question...and got an answer. Now, how about an actual argument with that pretentious little guy? When that happens, it sometimes seems as if there were more than just two people wanting to have their say and have their voices heard; sometimes you get more than one opinion, and quite surprisingly, they all sound alike. Many of us are so used to talking to ourselves (especially in this era of extreme individualism and egocentrism) that we often overlook the fact that what happens inside our heads is not a one-sided conversation, amonologue, but rather, some sort of deliberation, with many selves debating―or should we say clashing. There is no place more undemocratic than the cluster inour minds. Perhaps, it would be more appropriate to talk about a confederation of selves. As in any confederation, there is a struggle for power, for supremacy. Some get their heads bashed, some manage to climb up near the top, and one―just one―gets to be the hegemonic self; the self you call “your-self”. In other words, there is a whole universe inside us, albeit a rather chaotic one, governed by a few, fragile, laws. More important, however, is the idea that all those pugnacious selves were orbiting around you from the beginning. Sometimes there is relative harmony, and other times the collision looks like an encounter between matter and antimatter...

...continues to find reasons and posibilities, how Amy got into the house, example "Amy could have got in … She could have turned the oven on. I expect she still has a key." Again Alan must demystify the things that Clare torment herself with. The relation between Clare and Alan is split up, Alan is truly in love with Clare, but Clare is perhaps afraid of finding a man, because she never had a standing relationship. We see where this is mentioned in this quote "Clare had had lovers but never lived with a man before." That’s why she in the end decides to go away from Alan, who stands powerless back watching his love going away without a word. But the whole problematic starts, when Clare feels that people are strange at the new year's party with Alan's friends. The day after, Clare only focuses on the strange things that happens, and forgot to look at what really matters in her life right now; She was about to begin a long-term relationship with a man. Something she never had tried before, and of cause she was a little nervous, and feared that Amy would do things to hang her out, but the question is, hanging out for what? Clare was a, what I suppose, a normal thirty years old woman, average looking. But the only person described in the story,...

...I am currently reading the book, After the Quake, By Haruki Murakami. It is made up of about 6 stories. So far I have only read three. The 6 six stories revolve around the catastrophic earthquake that happen in Japan around 1995. Each story involves the concept of real characters, but connected to unreal happenings. The genre of the book can closely be named historical fiction, due to the historical background, but fictional occurrences. The first three stories give us main characters like: Komura an electronic salesman, who mysteriously loses someone, Junko a young girl lost in her feelings, and Yoshiya a boy who raised himself to believe he is the son of God. Every story had it’s own conflict. Even though I was unable to understand the...

...Haruki Murakami presents after the quake which is a fictional book that is broken up into six mesmerizing short stories. Each short story follows the same three rules Murakami set for himself stated in his interview with The Georgia Review. “The first was that the stories should be written in the third person”(557). “The second was that the stories should be about the earthquake in Kobe, but without describing the earthquake directly”(558) this made it for the stories to be not directly about the earthquake but still dealing with it. Lastly, “the third thing was that the stories shouldn’t happen in or around the earthquake”(558). Murakami’s characters all were not in kobe when there story was being told and the earthquake. In some of the stories the earthquake was...

...positive thought to have in the back of one’s mind is that “the psychosocial benefits of after-school programs are well-documented and include, among other things, enhanced social skills, greater motivation, and better classroom behavior (Martin et al., 2007).” Disruptive students simply want an outlet for expression that isn’t constricted to sitting in a chair for hours at a time while listening to a lecture that doesn’t spark their interest. After-school programs are not constrained to academics, but also branch out to athletics and promote events when...

...American Art before and after World War II Marty Rieth ARTS/125 June 27, 2016 Sarah Baer American Art before and after World War II The objective for the following paper is to discuss issues concerning American art before and after World War II. The discussion will include an examination of the artwork of three artists. Two artists will have worked during the Great Depression and one artist will have been an Abstract Expressionist. In discussing the artists’ work, a description of each work and its style will be included. An examination into the Great Depression and the purpose of artwork created during that time, whether they were tools for social reform, and other types of messaging that were present in the works will be discussed. Post-World War II Abstract Expressionism and how it differed from art work of the 1930’s will be discussed. Finally, an explanation into the style of the chosen Abstract Expressionists work and why they were interested in the style will be discussed (Was there a meaning to their work?). Artist Examinations Two artist that come to mind when speaking of The Great Depression are Maynard Dixon and Grant Wood. The artist Maynard Dixon showed his artistic abilities during The Great Depression by creating images in a style dubbed social realism. One of Dixon’s famous paintings was called Springtime on Bear Mountain. The illustration is of a plot of land from the mountainous western countryside. In the front is flat land where a...

...Service Demand The Civic, Social & Youth Organizations industry includes 42,015 business with combined annual revenue of about $17 billion. After School Program Providers industry includes about 22,273 establishments with combined annual revenue of about $22 billion. According to ibisworld.com, “During the next five years, rising government funding and a declining US unemployment rate will lead to more children enrolling in after-school programs, benefiting providers”. In Massachusetts the demand for afterschool youth outreach programs is growing fast due to environmental and economic trends that have parents in a tough spot. In order to successfully maintain a household more than two thirds of families have to rely on two incomes. This means that often kids are left home alone while their parents work. Quality youth outreach afterschool programs offer kids a safe place away from home. Data from the MA-AA3PM-2014-Fact-Sheet shows that more than 210,000 students statewide are not supervised; nationwide the number jumps to 11.3 million. 800,000 of these children are just in elementary school. Frank Fowler, police sheriff of Syracuse New York, says that this puts kids in a dangerously vulnerable situation because "they do not stop learning when the final bell rings, kids are always learning. The questions are: what are they learning and who's teaching them?”. If you combat those facts with the current data showing that kids are currently dealing with a number of high...
