...Breaking Through It is difficult for almost everyone to learn a new language. Not everyone achieves that goal. Some of them quit during the process, while other will struggle to achieve their goal. Each person quits for personal reasons. My experience is different from others. Before I even began the path to learn English, I thought about giving up. Later, when I was in that path, I almost gave up a couple of times. I struggled immensely in middle school; but not so much during my four years at high school. First, I gave up because I have heard that learning English was not easy. My old friends used to tell me learning English as your second language is very, very difficult almost impossible; “only few can make it,” they said. Second, my first day of school in this great nation was unpleasant. I considered that day, one of the worst days of my life. Looking back, now I consider it one of the great days of my life; because life without risks is no life. Third, my first two months at high school was like being in hell; because I was not being treated fairly by other students. The unpleasant moments I had during that two months was because of a lack of knowledge. Everything comes to an end sooner or later. When I was in Mexico. I wanted to learn English for a couple of reasons. One of them is because my parents wanted to bring me here to the United States to continue with my education. The other reason was because people that speak more than two languages have...

...Name Instructors Name Course 1 December 2009 Breaking the Cycle: Calming the Cries through Alternatives An emergency is at hand. The lights are flashing red and blue, the cries ring out, and women are ripped from their homes at alarming rates, leaving children motherless. The statistics are staggering; the Institute on Women & Criminal Justice reports that the past three decades has seen an explosion in female incarceration rates, growing 832% from 1977 to 2007 with an astounding 4% of women in state prisons and 3% of women in federal prisons pregnant at the time of admittance (Women’s Prison Association 4). Lives are at stake. Every court decision, every judgment cast, effects more than just the individual involved. The future is dependent on how society treats the present. In order to combat the crisis, it is vital to understand its origins and its impact; from this understanding, alternatives that consider the health and well being of all involved can be formulated and delivered. The United States has less than 5% of the world’s population, but boasts the overwhelming figure of almost a quarter of the world’s prisoners (Liptak 1). With nearly 2.3 million bars, one in 100 American adults is locked up. “Criminologists and legal experts here and abroad point to a tangle of factors to explain America's extraordinary incarceration rate: higher levels of violent crime, harsher sentencing laws, a legacy of racial turmoil, a special fervor in combating illegal drugs, the...

...Breaking Bad Was Realistic Allison Heyser Baker College Breaking Bad Was Realistic Perhaps some of what was written in Breaking Bad was over kill. A story of an average now middle class family, with a full time mother, and a father that works two jobs, goes haywire. Walter discovers that he can cook meth and make more money in a short time than he could in a full career as a chemistry teacher. Setting a dollar amount on his new career choice, telling himself he will quit when he reaches that amount. Yet every time he has a new reason to continue. All the while keeping his new life hidden from his family, essentially living a double life. It can be said that Breaking bad accurately portrayed today’s society in regards to families suffering from the economic decline, health care system, money laundering, greed and self-destruction from power. Success is sometimes measured in different ways and Mr. White’s story is an example of this fact. He started out as a successful scientist and business man with a promising future. He was persuaded to believe that the company he owned with is partner was failing and he decided to sell his portion to get out only to find that he would struggle to replace his former income. Working two jobs to support his family, neither of them what he imagined he would be doing with his master degree in Chemistry. He was over qualified by his standards to be a Chemistry teacher in a local high school by day and a...

...to communicate with others. The age of technology began with the television and the radio, but as time progressed it gave way to other items such as computers, satellites, and smartphones with various other devices developed to bring a different sense of power to the common person. Those such as reporters were no longer in complete control of how society received the daily news or even be alerted of breaking news. We are now provided with other means to stay on top of the world around us such as social networking sites, news websites, and various types of forums. Many years ago, the newspaper was solely delivered to your doorstep or you could purchase it in various places. Now you can access the internet from just about anywhere in the world and see the news via the news stations website. You can even have the news delivered directly to your email account or phone daily and in most cases get it as its happening. Today we also have the same abilities with just about anything that comes in a printed version. You can either purchase the book at your local book store or access it through an online store to read it at your convenience via an electronic device. We have come so far in the technological age that it’s a wonder to me how people survived before. Technology has provided parents with the ability to stay on top of their kids every second of everyday. It has also provided teachers with a far more advanced method of teaching their students. And these examples are just merely...

...7 Facts About the Seventh Day Adapted from Why God Said Remember by Joe Crews. Part of Satan s strategy to destroy humanity s trust in God has been to attack His claim as the Creator. Obviously, the theory of evolution is part of this deceptive and soul-destroying effort. With its amoral humanistic emphasis, Darwin s doctrine has turned millions into religious skeptics and enshrouded in darkness their need for the Savior. Yet while many Christians rightly denounce this unscientific belief, ironically, many are still falling into the devil s trap of denying God s sovereignty over the earth. That trap is the ages-long effort to twist and destroy the observance of the seventh-day Sabbath. Through Satan s false information and man s trust in traditions over the sure word of Scripture, millions of Christians have been led to discount or even reject the importance of observing the Sabbath. “The seyenth day is the sabbath of the Lord: in it thou shalt not do any work (Exodus 20:10). No one disagrees with the clear meaning of this text, yet millions are finding ways not to follow it. Why? The general Bible ignorance of the church and the clever arguments of Satan have created a climate of prejudice against the holiness of the seventh day in favor of the observance of Sunday. So in the interest of promoting God s law over the theories of men, let s take a moment to rediscover some amazing facts about the seventh-day Sabbath. Fact #1: ‘ The Seventh-day Sabbath...

Considering its positive economical contribution as well as some negative effect like lack of occupational health and safety standard, the search has made to address whether Bangladesh should continue supporting this business on their soil. Some viable recommendations are made at the conclusion. Keywords: Ship breaking, ship dismantling, industrial safety, safety hazards, environmental hazards. 1. INTRODUCTION Ship recycling is the process of dismantling old ship to recover steel scrap and other materials. This industry had begun in Bangladesh in 1960, when a cargo vessel named M D Alpine of Greek was affected by violent storm and beached near sea shore of Fauzdarhat at Chittagong. The ship had to remain there for a long time. In 1965, the vessel was scrapped by Chittagong Steel House. In 1974, Al Abbas, a salvaged Pakistan Navy vessel, which was sunk during liberation war, was scrapped by Karnafully Metal Works and since then commercial shipbreaking began in Bangladesh.

...Breaking Bad For Good Today’s society is smothered with the influence of media. On a daily basis, whether Americans realize it or not, they are being introduced to some sort of media along with the worldview behind it. As Professor Ken Funk says, “A worldview is the set of beliefs about fundamental aspects of reality that ground and influence all one's perceiving, thinking, knowing, and doing” (Funk, “What is Worldview?”). The concept of having a worldview tends to be put in a remote part of the brain in correlation to Christianity and religion. While this can affect a person’s worldview, it entails far more. Each individual has their own worldview that they believe in and live by. Every day we choose to continue to believe or disbelieve in our individual worldviews, and decide what we will let affect those beliefs. Media can have a large effect on a person’s worldview; this is especially true for the TV show Breaking Bad. After proposing the question, “What is Breaking Bad?” to ten ORU students, over half replied with “It is a show about meth” (Garland, personal interview). While most see Breaking Bad as nothing more than a show about meth, it has a powerful plot full of biblical persuasion that conveys the importance of morality and the negative impact egoism can have on a person. The TV show Breaking Bad, produced by Vince Gilligan, has become a well-known piece of media that thousands of people have spent watching countless hours of. It has taken the plot of good versus...

...difficulty in remembering what had happened. Pierce finally recalls that the bus he and others were riding had to pull over to the side of the road to hide from an enemy patrol. Hawkeye yells at a woman to keep her chicken from squawking, fearful that the enemy would find them, only to be stunned when the woman smothers her chicken while trying to keep it quiet. The audience is just as horrified as Hawkeye when he realizes the woman didn’t smother a chicken; she smothered her infant child. This finale episode aired in 1983, and it remained the most watched episode in the history of television until 2010. When looking at modern day programming, the AMC original show Breaking Bad has provided moments on par with M*A*S*H, due to its strong character development, relatable stories, and good versus evil plot. Breaking Bad has had some water cooler conversation worthy moments because of its strong character development. The main character, Walter White, is a meth-cooking, drug kingpin, but he didn’t start out that way. At the start of the series, Walter is a high school chemistry teacher who...
