...you’re supposed to be famous for.” Many singers, actors, and socialites have their faces all over the tabloids with antics that tend to over show their talent. Instead of being positive role models for the young children that inspire to be them, these celebrities are setting an example that is corrupting our youth. We have celebrities dying from over dosing, being arrested for drug and weapon charges, but most importantly people becoming socialites and famous for sex tapes. Such as the infamous Kim Kardashian.

...From American slavery in the 1850s to gay marriage in the 21st century, the debate for equal rights seems to never quite go away. People like Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr., or even more recently, Malala, each have made an impact on equal rights. In this cartoon by Tom Stiglich, Bruce Jenner is the one making an impact on equal rights for the LGBT community. As Jenner was once an Olympic runner himself, he seems to be depicted as one in this illustration. Jenner is running towards the finish line alongside a woman, who remains unknown. Through carefully selected word choices and powerful facial expressions, these two runners communicate that some type of victory has been won. What is most significant in this cartoon is what lies...

...Barbara Schultz Ms. Lindsay-Deddens Morality Period A February 5th, 2016 Essay Responses 1. Throughout life and throughout our faith we as people and we as Christians go through three main stages of moral development. The first big stage of moral development begins at birth and into our early years of childhood. Children morality is when a child tries their hardest to please the ones that brought them into this world, their mother and father. Children may also try their hardest to please anyone that may have authority over them for example caregivers, babysitters, teachers, coaches, etc. Children fear punishment if they don’t obey their parents so they try their best to follow the rules and morals that their parents bestow on them. Young kids depend on their parents for constant love and support so that is why their basic morality comes from their parents. The next stage of moral development is one that is confusing and challenging as most times are for this age. It is the in-between adolescence. There are two main stages of morality that take place during these in-between years. The first is constantly relying on your peer group to determine your beliefs and values. During this time adolescences do not do much thinking for themselves they just fall back on what everyone around them has to say. In the second stage of adolescence morality teenagers begin thinking less about their peer group or parents and more for themselves. They form their own ideas and morals. The...

...Small Business And Entrepreneurship Assignment Topic: "Rob Kardashian" Written By: Tariq Al Lawati Entrepreneurship is one of the most successful ways of starting a business, and this essay will outline the story of an upcoming entrepreneur who could or by all means will not make a huge success in the market. However, first lets explain what the term "entrepreneur" means. An entrepreneur is "Someone who exercises initiative by organizing a venture to take benefit of an opportunity and, as the decision maker, decides what, how, and how much of a good or service will be produced"[1]. In other words, it is someone who initiates or starts a business by spotting an opportunity in the market, has a suitable place to run it and by being the decision maker of the business can eventually make a self benefit or profit from it. However, it is not as simple as it sounds. Along with having a suitable place and having creative ideas, there are some risks that come into play as well. Therefore, we can safely say that an entrepreneur is by nature a risk taker. That being said, the risks are neither negligible nor too vigorous. Entrepreneurs like to describe themselves as moderate risk takers. It is to my understanding that entrepreneurship is more like a stereotype, in the sense that most entrepreneurs have the same set of traits or behaviors. According to many recourses, whether it was the internet, or the "Small Business and Entrepreneurship" text book that we study...

...Kendall Jenner and Her Racy Modeling Photo Cynthia Park COMM/310 June 9, 2014 Terry Marler Kris Jenner, the mother of the infamous Kardashian clan, has recently been in the news due to a scandalous photo of her 18 year old daughter, Kendall Jenner, which she shared through Twitter. Kendall is shown topless in the photo, covering her breasts with her hands. This photo was taken for the catchy “In Bed with W Magazine” Campaign. Although this photo is very racy, the news outlets that were discussing this photo were more concerned that Kendall’s mother, Kris Jenner, was extremely proud of this photo. In the interview that Kris Jenner had with Huffington Post Live, she stated that “She has like, the perfect body, especially one that wants to be in the modeling business. I don’t know, I got a lot of curves and I couldn’t pull that off. But she always looks remarkable.” This interview had many news outlets struggling with the fact that Kris Jenner is very open and honest about her 18 year old daughter and her approval of these photos seems to be too aggressive. There was one show in particular that was very prejudiced when it came to Jenner and her views on her children, especially with this photo. The show, The Young Turks (TYT), had four different analysts that were sharing their opinions on what they would do in their own lives and giving Kris Jenner quite a bit of backlash on her view of her daughter. The points that each show had made was sharing the fact that not...

...TO: Professor Wright FROM: #35 RE: Discussion II DATE: September 27, 2014 Our client, Kim Karda, met Kris Humfrey in 2004. They married, in New Jersey, in January 2009. In May 2010, Karda gave birth to a baby girl. Several months later, the child was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease (TSD), a debilitating hereditary disease that always results in death. Upon the child’s diagnosis, Karda learned that she and Humfrey were both carriers of the TSD gene. The child died on February 15, 2014. On March 15, 2014, Karda discovered that Humfrey knew he was a TSD carrier at the time of marriage and withheld this fact. Karda hired our firm in August 2014 and is seeking an annulment on the grounds that Humfrey’s concealment that he was a diagnosed TSD carrier at the time of marriage constitutes fraud as to the essentials of marriage. I. Karda will likely be granted an annulment under New Jersey law because Humfrey’s concealment that he was a diagnosed TSD carrier constitutes fraud as to the essentials of marriage and because she did not ratify the marriage after discovery. In New Jersey, judgment of nullity of marriage may be rendered in all cases, when: The parties, or either of them, lacked capacity to marry due to want of understanding because of mental condition, or the influence of intoxicants, drugs, or similar agents; or where there was a lack of mutual assent to the marital relationship; duress; or fraud as to the essentials of marriage; and has not subsequently ratified...

...Smallpox and Vaccination Images are a significant tool in the history because it elucidates feelings, behavior and new tendencies in society (Leggat 1995). In the history of vaccines, it is not different; there are many pictures that explain reality in different societies at different times. From this context, this essay will analyze two pictures that link smallpox early attempts of treatment in two different societies. The first selected picture was found in AIDS: The Burdens of History a book wrote by Fee and Fox in 1988. The image explains the early vaccination technique called “Jennerian vaccine” that was a prodigious improvement in the history of medicine. I believe that this picture was intentionally made to show how the vaccination worked and its safety to all population, including children. As we can see, this 187-year-old picture presents four people who are essential to demonstrate the accurate and innovatory technic. The mother in this picture represents the maternal care and the responsibility that parents need to have with their children. Another interesting point in this picture can be found in the doctor’s face; his face demonstrates a seriousness and responsibility, which are essential qualities for a good doctor. I wonder if the purpose of this picture is bring focus to the importance of the vaccination to ordinary people. I imagine that during the outbreak of smallpox, the population was very scared, and the leak of information about vaccination contributed...

...In the United States, 90% of parents vaccinate their children and follow the recommended schedule. That is about twenty-eight immunizations against fourteen different diseases in the first two years of life. But, at least 10% of parents skip or delay some shots, and around 1% do not vaccinate at all "Vaccines-Calling the Shots". Most people have gotten at least vaccinated once in their lives. Doctors use vaccines as sort of a boot camp for immune systems from adults to small children. The way it works is by using a dead or weakened virus that would imitate the real virus if it attacks. The immune system responds by attack to virus and leaving behind white blood cells that know how to fight the virus now. Vaccines came from Dr. Edward Jenner. He was the first man to deliberately inoculate people with a mild, non-fatal disease called "cowpox" that came from a similar strain to smallpox, thus making people immune to the virus. He called his technique "vaccine” from "vacca" Latin for cow "Vaccines-Calling the Shots"....

...CHAPTER 1 1.1INTRODUCTION Leprosy is caused by mycobacterium called leprea. The Norwegian doctor amuer Hansen isolated the bacterium in 1875. Leprosy is also called hansen’s disease after him, although it is first human pathogenic bacterium causing disease in man, though it has not been cultured in laboratory (rees.r. 1939). A large number of people in this world are exposed to these dangerous diseases, some of the conditions are likely to harm the health and mental of the patients. The challenges of leprosy and the stigma following the diseases had been universal. The extent and size of the stigma varies from country to country depending on the level of the spread of the diseases. Leprosy has long been stigmatized because of visible deformities resulting from progressive and permanent physical disabilities associated with the disease. These may triggers physical and psychological isolation (Brycegon, 1990). The history of leprosy stigma is as old as the history of leprosy. In Western Europe it reached its peak in the middle ages. Since the church puts leprosy unclear people used to carry bales in order to notify (signal) their presence so that starts to worsen leprosy stigma. A study of stigma has continued to show that leprosy is more common and sevior as compared to developed countries. Ethiopia, being one of the developing countries is also a victim of this diseases and stigma that occurs following this diseases. In Ethiopia leprosy was identified as a major health problem...

...Almost 100 years after Jenner, Louis Pasteur attempted to develop immunizations for other diseases aside from smallpox. Pasteur injected chickens with an attenuated form of cholera and then demonstrated how the chickens were immune to the fully virulent strain of cholera. This allowed to Pasteur to realize that exposure to weakened strains of a disease could cause immunity against that disease. After recognizing this, Pasteur attempted to create a vaccine for anthrax. Pasteur obtained cultures of the anthrax bacterium and then conducted an experiment involving farm animals; the results of which was the immunization of 70 animals. The success of his experiment attested that exposure to a weakened strain of a disease could lead to immunity. During Pasteur’s life, he was able to expand on Jenner’s work and provide explanations for aspects of vaccination that Jenner was not able to. The impact of the vaccine has been unparalleled in history. In the past two hundred years, many vaccines have been created by applying Jenner and Pasteur’s work. Extraordinarily, atments before, now have vaccinations. The World Health Organization states that vaccinations save approximately 2.5 million lives every year from diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and measles. Every day, scientists...
