...Sarah Crement 11/13/13 Compare and Contrast Dating Then Vs. Now I asked my mom the other day what dating was like when she was a teenager. I was shocked to find out that almost everything she told me was different than how dating is nowadays. From what she told me, dating seemed to be very traditional and what it still should be like. The point of dating was to find a husband or wife. But now it isn’t like that at all. There aren’t any teenagers that are looking to find someone to marry. There’s even kids in elementary school that are supposively “dating”. When it comes to a first date, my mom said when she was my age the guy would take her out to a fancy restaurant or a movie. The guy would ring the doorbell to get her and then have to speak to her parents first before they left. Sometimes on dates the guy would buy her flowers or a gift of some sort. And of course the guy would always pay for whatever they did. Now when it comes to dating, instead of going out somewhere nice, the girl is usually stuck at her date’s house. Doing nothing. Because the guy either doesn’t have money or doesn’t care about the girl enough to spend the money. Also, instead of being a gentlemen and coming to the door to get the girl, he would wait in his car and text her saying “here”. How most people met each other back then was through school, work, or maybe even parties. Meeting was always face-to-face because there was really no other way of doing it. But now I would say about 75% of...

...big impact on school life with teen’s academics and the way they play in sports. The relationships teens involve themselves with can negatively affect their academic and social life. It may bring out the worst in them and may cause grades to slip and their outlook on school to change. My fellow class mate Gina stated, “Arguing with my partner during the day causes me to have an attitude at school and may cause me to focus less on my school work.” This causes grades to fall and they may get sidetracked of what really matters because they’re worried about an argument that happened with a peer. School sports also have an effect on teen relationships. My other fellow classmate Monica says, “sports put a damper on my relationship at times because volleyball and football season were at the same time and we barely had time to communicate with each other cause of games, practice and also school work. “But they -found a way to work around it by sitting together at lunch since they have the same lunch period, hanging out on the weekend, and before practices they would often do homework together. Also according to an teenage article by Teen Ink they say, “Love relationships just make it even harder for a teenager to get a good education. Some start to fail in school because they are hanging out with their boyfriend or girlfriend instead of doing their work.” Teenage...

...down side when they put pressure on their friends to do something like to smoke, drink, and do drugs. In most cases they tell their friends how to dress and act when around certain people. Love relationships just make it even harder for a teenager to get a good education. Some start to fail in school because they are hanging out with their boyfriend or girlfriend instead of doing their work. Throughout adolescence, teenagers are positively and negatively impacted by several relationships such as friends, family, and love relationships. Friends have a big influence on teenagers because they can say and do many of things to teenagers who think they were friends. They also start rumors and take their friends girlfriend or boyfriend and have them cheat on their friend. Some go out to drink, smoke, or to do drugs just to have fun but some think of driving home and most teenagers do not even make it to their driveways. Some teenagers who are so depressed about their social problems even think about committing suicide. Most start to hurt others turn into “goth’s” by dressing in all black. Many of depressed people show how they feel by dressing differently by acting out and hurting others in school. Parents have a big influence on teenagers because their children look up to them and 90% of them grow up to act and do things just like their parents did with them. Teenagers who have parents that are in jail, or do drugs do not always have a good education or a household. “Children who...

...Douglas S. Coppin The Effects of Capital Punishments NIC / Executive Leadership June 2013 Evidence-Based Practice in the Criminal Justice System The phrase “because we have always done it that way” universally is no longer acceptable as it pertains to working in many sectors of the work-force, especially within the criminal justice system. Constant financial pressure to streamline budgets, coupled with ever-changing political climates have forced criminal justice organizations to embrace evidence-based concepts and practices. Evidence-based practice is defined as the use of practices that have been scientifically tested and proven effective. In simple terms, doing what works. This has led to drastic changes in various sectors from police operations, probation, sentencing, etc. When examining capital punishment the first question that must be asked is why do we do it? Is it simply a universal response to an atrocious act committed by an offender? If so, then there is no need to look any further. However, thousands of capital offense convictions are handed down annually in the U.S., yet most do not result in death penalty sentences. Therefore the only logical conclusion is that there is much more complexities in play once the state hands down capital punishment. Possible Effects of Capital Punishments at a Glance By and large, capital punishment in the United States is handed down to those offenders that are found guilty of homicide. Although not limited...
