The history of dog fighting traces back to ancient Roman times when they fought against other animals in the Coliseum. The practice of pitting dogs against other animal continued through medieval times in England until it was outlawed in 1835. Around that time, the Staffordshire Bull terrier was developed and modern dog-fighting was born. The dog was brought to America in 1817 and dogfighting became part of American...

...Michael Vick Michael Vick was born on June 26, 1980 in the city of Newport News, Virginia. Vick’s parents Michael Boddie and Caletha Vick and Vick’s siblings Christina, Courtney and Marcus grew up together in the hostile environment that Newport News was known for. Newport News is infamous for it’s gangs and drug activity. It is nicknamed “NewportNam”. This is a reference to Vietnam in order to show the hostile and dangerous environment that Vick grew up in. This would impact Vick in a negative way in his future. Vick’s journey to prison would start at a young age. Michael Vick saw his first dog fight at the age of 8. Dog fighting was a part of the culture of the neighborhood. In his biography, “Finally Free”, Vick says that “When [he] was young, [he] witnessed dogfighting so much that [he] didn’t think it was wrong” (102). Growing up in this kind of environment would lead to Vick’s imprisonment. He also states that while he knew that people got in trouble for dogfighting, he never knew that people could be arrested for it. Another factor that caused Vick’s imprisonment was the absence of his father. Vick’s father, Michael Boddie, worked at a local shipyard as a sandblaster. Boddie also struggled with an addiction to drugs and alcohol. This resulted in Vick growing up with no one to teach him right from wrong. This also resulted in no one being able to guide him through the tough times of living in Newport News. In accordance, in the book “Role Models”, the author writes that...

Matches between small fighting robot machines are popular enough to be on television, but in "Real Steel," these robots are towering, computer-controlled machines with nimble footwork and instinctive balance. (In the real world, 'bots can be rendered helpless on their backs, like turtles.) Hugh Jackman stars as Charlie Kenton, a former boxer who is now hanging onto the fringes of the fight game as the owner-operator of a ramshackle robot he tours with. It's no match for the competition, and when the desperate Charlie replaces it with another battered veteran, it can't even outfight a real bull.If the movie were all robot fights it might be as unbearable as well, a Transformers title.

...their attractive ads. They use a bull not just for the name; a bull represents something powerful, big, and full of energy. Red means fury, energy, strength power and more. It is also very appealing to the eye, and marketing use this color’s attractiveness as an advantage. All of these ads have a strong use of pathos and ethos, they use stuff and persons with an important well known background, like the Einstein picture, who is famous for his energy theories and they took a good advantage of that, and by adding a little humor they can get more attention. The way they are fighting the war against France is pretty much as trying to make them look more important than France itself, like if France is lost and its dependant from Red Bull. By making war to France, they are getting more fame. All of these pictures contain black and white to make the viewer see the Red Bull drink better than the ad, that way they can know what is first, and then will focus their attention into the picture. Also, they are in black and white because they are telling you how boring everything is without Red Bull, and the drink Red Bull is in its colors blue, red, and silver, meaning that if you drink Red Bull your day will brighten up. In the picture with the old man is lifting into the air with his bicycle, there is other people in the background, and they are still in the ground, they cannot fly, because they don’t have Red Bull. So if you don’t get Red Bull you can’t fly and everyone loves...

...Stress is one of the leading causes of the common health problems. If we have a stressful life, we can get mad easily and then we may lose our health. Without health there is no meaning of living. There are some reasons that can cause stress. One of the major causes of stress for almost everyone is money. Everybody needs money for living a good quality life. Unfortunately, only a few people are able to earn enough money to have a better life. Of course money is not the only reason, however; we need money for materials we use for living like car, home, food, etc. For example, a father who can’t buy her daughter the dress she wanted is full of stress. Instead of buying the dress, he only has enough money to pay the bills. It is such a harsh situation for a father. That could knock him down. We all have bills to pay. Some people even can’t pay their bills. That means stressful days are ahead. On the other hand, if you still have a job and you earn some money then you are a lucky person. Probably, you can survive with the stress of not having enough money. However, if you lose your job, now the stress hits the top of your head. Money is never enough to live non-stressful life. We have to choose our husband/wife very carefully. Instead of being rational if we decide without analyzing in depth, we may not be able to see which disagreements shall appear in the future. In fact, people who get married at a young age can divorce after a few years. Sometimes we found our perfect soul...

...One of the most shocking and gruesome stories over the last five years has been the report of Michael Vick running a dog fighting scandal in the confines of his Virginia home. This story was covered by every single major news outlet across the United States and caused uproar amongst millions of animal lovers. While this press undoubtedly raised awareness of the perils of animal cruelty, there are still hundreds and hundreds of cases that go unnoticed every day. For how loving and caring animals are to human beings, it is about time that we stand up to those who mistreat them and give animals the support they need and deserve. There have obviously been several animal activist groups over the years such as PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) but there is still so much we can do to raise awareness of this issue and make a difference. There are varying degrees of animal cruelty, however, one no better than the other. It is important to recognize each one and the motives behind the owner’s abuse because there needs to be different ways to handle these crimes. There is blatant abuse, such as in the Michael Vick case, where owners put animals in an atmosphere that is detrimental to their health and well-being. As for Vick, he bred and trained dogs to become vicious fighters as a part of his operation called “Bad Newz Kennels” (Schorn 1). CBS Sports Anchor James Brown asked Vick in an interview what had motivated him to continue to run this operation despite...

...Dhemna Grace P. Baquilod August 5, 2014 GPE0211 History of Arnis The term arnis is believed to be a Tagalog corruption of the Spanish term arnes, or harness, a reference to the decorations worn by the early Filipinos. Kali is another term used to refer to the same kind of martial arts. Different provinces may have different names for arnis, such as baston and kaliradman (Ilonggo, Bisaya), pagkalikali (Ibanag) and kalirongan (Pangasinan). These are only a few examples of the terms already recorded in different sources.One suggestion is that it originally came from another martial art system, called tjakalele. This is actually the name of a branch of the Indonesian martial art system known as pentjak silat. Another suggestion is that it was brought here from the Southeast Asian mainland, particularly during the Madjapahit and Shri-Visayan empires. Yet another suggestion is that it was propagated by the so-called ten Bornean datus fleeing persecution from their homeland.The glorious lives of Filipino heroes are linked with the awesome power of the martial art of Arnis. They triumphantly waged their heroic battles for freedom and liberty as a testimony of the power and effectiveness of Arnis. Their successful stand against their superiorly armed adversaries in mortal combat in the arena of battle is now held in immortal inviolability by history.It would not be far-fetched to...

They come to those who have exhausted themselves completely in a struggle to accomplish the impossible… [My father's] last wish was that I save myself for a battle I would not understand. Do you know what he said? He said, ‘The greatest fight is when you are fighting in the smoke and cannot see with your eyes.’ ” Winter’s Tale Apply, analyze, and evaluate this quote. Apply: I can apply this quote to certain obstacles in my life. Sometimes, there are times where I feel helpless and struggle to figure out how to overcome these obstacles but once reading this quote, it is reassuring to know that I am not the only person who has to deal with obstacles in life. There are times where I feel like giving up but reading this quote helps me and gives me faith that eventually, these obstacles will result in a “miracle”. Analyze: By analyzing this quote, I deconstructed the quote by sentence. I found that the first and second sentences mean that in order to receive positive results, one must put themselves at risk of losing or failing. Without risk, one might not achieve their ultimate goal. The next few sentences can signify that most of a person’s greatest obstacles are those in which a person cannot see the end of the obstacle. I believe that “the greatest fight” is one that is unprecedented and one that is most difficult. Evaluate: By evaluating this quote, I believe that the quote argues that in order to fully...
