...his class in school, to graduating from Yale, Benjamin Carson exceeded society’s expectations in becoming a neurosurgeon. He revolutionized modern-day medicine and surgery techniques with the separation of Craniopagus Twins, or Siamese Twins who were attached at the head. The surgeon gave patients hope in survival with advanced medical procedures other doctors were not willing to attempt, thus becoming one of most skilled neurosurgeons in the nation. Before Carson gained success, he faced many obstacles as a child. According to Washington Post’s article, The Story of the Surgery...

...hard up-bringing or challenges. One person who had an excruciatingly hard upbringing and many hurdles is Ben Carson. Many aspects of Ben Carson's life are his childhood, challenges, his study in conjoined twins and about conjoined twins, and his achievements. Ben Carson’s childhood had an enormous aspect on his life. Benjamin Solomon Carson was born in Detroit, Michigan on September 18, 1951 to Robert Solomon and Sonya Carson. Robert, the father, left when Carson was eight and he left his ex-wife and two sons in poverty. Ben was at the bottom of his class and was bullied for being dumb. This went on until Sonya had, enough of it. Sonya, who could barely read herself, would make both boys read several library books a week and write reports on them. After...

...Dr. Ben Carson was born in Detroit, Michigan. At a young age, his father left Ben and his family, leaving them in poverty and barely able to make ends meet. Growing up, he developed a violent and uncontrollable temper, but was able to overcome this by finding God and the Bible. This, along with his mother's support, helped Carson graduated with honors from high school and then went to college at Yale, later entering the School of Medicine at the University of Michigan. A few short years later, he became the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. His gifted hands helped him earn the title of being the top neurosurgeon in the world and also become the title of a book and movie (Carson and Murphey, 1990). Carson went from living in poverty to being a high ranking medical surgeon (Preston, 2014). He overcame adversity not because his family was privileged, but because of his hard work and dedication. His story is the perfect example of the American Dream. He is also a perfect role model for young Americans who are living in poor, poverty areas, with little guidance. He is a living, breathing example for how anyone can achieve...

...generalizations and decided that maybe I should do some more research of my own instead of automatically jumping to such negative conclusions. Religion appeared to be the main focus throughout the CNS News article. Although I felt like the writer spoke about the refugees race and ethnicity more indirectly, I still came to the conclusion that he may have had some stereotypical views regarding muslims. For example, the writer mentions how most of the refugees that were admitted were all muslims, not any other religion. The type of audience the article may have been trying to attract were people who also shared a similar selective perspective, or practiced any other religion but muslim. Scapegoating also came to mind when I was reading this article. I’m sure like many American’s in today’s society, it would not have been abnormal for the author to express his feelings of frustrations against all Muslims due to the tragic occurrences from Isis. I felt as though the refugees were being placed into a minority group due to their religion and homeland. If the writer did not have somewhat of an issue with muslims, then why point out the fact that no other religion was practiced? I might have come across many articles that supported bringing the Syrian refugees to America, but I also came across many that did not. One person who is not in support of bringing the refugees into the U.S. is presidential candidate Ben Carson. Carson not only made points about why we should not admit them, but...

...Any piece of literature whither it be a famous play from Shakespeare or a research paper from a random college student has a purpose. Some purposes are to entertain, express themselves, educate, or in the case of "Politically Incorrect? Or Master Strategists? Try Both" by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar; it was to persuade. However, Abdul-Jabbar tried to hide his attempt to persuade people as an article that was supposed to seem informative and educational on the surface. To gather credibility for a series of weak and biased arguments Kareem Abdul-Jabbar misuses statistics and manipulates human emotions. Abdul-Jabbar’s creative and controlling writing is subtlety integrated unless examined further. Abdul-Jabbar’s most powerful tool that he uses throughout his article is his ability to appeal to people’s emotions. He uses quotes that bring attention by appealing to peoples emotions and also makes people feel comfortable with him as a person; this way people are more likely to agree with him. Abdul-Jabbar does this multiple times early on in his article in an effort to build a sense of importance with his...

...THE ASSESMENT OF THE ACCEPTABILITY OF ROSE ICE CREAM CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Considering the vast food source of the country, the people are properly informed about the various available aromatic flowers particularly the native and popular flower like Rose, Sampaguita, etc… The Filipino are indeed very lucky because the Philippines is blessed with different kind of flowers that gives us medicine, food, perfume and other that provide our needs and that has been concerned people in our country. Rose ice cream is creamy, soft and velvety like fragrant bouquet of rose. Luscious summer with fresh rose petals. Ice cream (derived from earlier iced cream or cream ice) is a frozen food usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream and often combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavors. Most varieties contain sugar, although some are made with other sweeteners. In some cases, artificial flavorings and colorings are used in addition to, or instead of, the natural ingredients. The mixture of chosen ingredients is stirred slowly while cooling, in order to incorporate air and to prevent large ice crystals from forming. The result is smoothly textured semi-solid foam that is malleable and can be scooped. (www. Wikipedia.com). No single person can lay claim to inventing ice cream. There is no exact origin or date of inception, but myths abound on how it came about. Its existence in olden times...

...students—literature and lessons CHRIS PARK, The Graduate School, Lancaster University, Lancaster, UK ABSTRACT This paper reviews the literature on plagiarism by students, much of it based on North American experience, to discover what lessons it holds for institutional policy and practice within institutions of higher education in the UK. It explores seven themes: the meaning and context of plagiarism, the nature of plagiarism by students, how do students perceive plagiarism, how big a problem is student plagiarism, why do students cheat, what challenges are posed by digital plagiarism and is there a need to promote academic integrity? It is concluded that plagiarism is doubtless common and getting more so (particularly with increased access to digital sources, including the Internet), that there are multiple reasons why students plagiarise and that students often rationalise their cheating behaviour and downplay the importance of plagiarism by themselves and their peers. It is also concluded that there is a growing need for UK institutions to develop cohesive frameworks for dealing with student plagiarism that are based on prevention supported by robust detection and penalty systems that are transparent and applied consistently. Introduction Much has been written on the theme of plagiarism by students, particularly in the context of North American experience. This paper reviews that literature in order to discover what lessons it holds for institutional policy and practice within...

The dog was part of it. He wasn't fond of German shepherds, and this one, though he was standing quietly, reminded him of Panther, the police dog that rode with Deputy Kenny Moore and was quick to bite suspects in the crotch at the slightest command. Most of the time he regarded Moore as an idiot, but he was still just about the closest thing to a friend that Clayton had in the department, and he had to admit that Moore had a way of telling those crotch-biting stories that made Clayton double over in laughter. And Moore would definitely have appreciated the little skinny-dipping party Clayton had just broken up, when he'd spied a couple of coeds sunning down by the creek in all their morning glory. He hadn't been there for more than a few minutes and had snapped only a couple...

...better access, collaboration in a generation of information and technological convergence, have all contributed to the design of a new scientific paradigm. Thanks to our passion for research and to the continuous advancements in the technological ecosystem as well as the possibility of better understanding human activity and behavior we are on the threshold of a new era of the social science of tourism. This new social and technological paradigm affects tourism and human mobility in a way that gives the research process unheard-of possibilities. The current level of technological development allows for the construction of objects that are smaller, more intelligent and embedded in the environment and even wearable. These objects, which record and learn our habits are connected to the Internet and they have computing capabilities. They can also be interconnected and generate large quantities of information to benefit the environment in which they are located as well as the travellers that possess them. This gives rise to a new world of interconnected personal machines. This new world involves a convergence among what is physical, what is social and what is digital. Within this context, research assumes the principal role to guide evolution, transferring knowledge to the industry. Relevant academic research is more necessary than ever before in order to explore how ICT in tourism can...

...PART ONE This paper will focus on two aspects of my life that I am very passionate about - my ongoing pursuit of higher education and my work in the humanitarian sector. I have focused on these two areas because becoming a superstar takes more than a diploma (White, 21). It requires the merger of knowledge and action. Abu Bakr, the first Muslim Caliph, is credited with saying “without knowledge, action is useless and knowledge without action is futile”. I believe that combining knowledge and action is a key element in achieving ‘Superstar’ status as described in Professor White’s book, The Superstar Roadmap: How Ordinary People Build Extraordinary Careers. In the following pages, I will relate personal experiences with Dr. White’s Superstar Roadmap and explore personal mastery of the nine steps. Deep inside, I have always felt an insatiable need for education. I have recognized its importance and have spent considerable time reading from the best books, attending formal courses, and informally seeking out dynamic authors and lecturers. In addition, I have always know that someday I would like to start a family and that I will need to be a good example to my children. One of many ways that I can demonstrate the importance of education to them is to be a living example of the principles I hope to teach them. The pursuance of education has not been easy for me and has often been inconvenient but when I listen to my heart and try to act on those feelings, I know that pursuing...
