The decision to implement fat taxes was based on how effective the tobacco taxes reduced the number of adults were smoking in America. This reading does an excellent job at breaking down how the taxes are determined and specifically, which types of foods would be taxed. Huber, B. (2012 October 29). Michelle’s Moves.

...all of the doors that will open once I receive this degree. This is one of the best things about being a nurse, the opportunities are endless! One of my greatest fears was pursuing my bachelor’s (actually it started with the beginning when I first enrolled for nursing school) is if I’m smart enough, can I handle it? I always struggled through high school barely graduating but I did it with support of teachers. I do feel that if I can get through nursing school and will get through this program, but I can still feel that fear in the back of my head screaming for some attention. While I was completing my prerequisites for the nursing program I held off on one class and when I finally had no choice, I enrolled in ENG 102. I definitely have a fear of writing papers, my stomach turns, my hands get clammy just thinking about (my parents think I’m crazy). I was so thankful that I had an amazing teacher.

...Gooding ENG 102 Online 15 September 2015 Research Question Essay 1. I started researching with a couple ideas in my mind. I decided to base all my research on Immunizations because I really think I can deliver a good paper on this subject. I have wanted to dig into the controversy about immunizations for a while now. The main reason is that my wife was not immunized and it was a strong desire of hers that her kids are not immunized. I was immunized and always thought I would immunize my children. I think this subject for me would be extremely beneficial to learn more about. There have been numerous claims of immunizations causing autism, and other serious medical conditions. Are theses claims all hype or are they truth? This is what I intend to learn for myself. In the early 1900's we as a people started with one vaccine against small pox. To vaccinate fully in today's society it means 48 vaccines in the first 6 years of your child's life. That is a lot of vaccines compared to twenty years ago, but is it worth the risk? I am the father of two small children and the idea of something happening to them on my watch scares me to death. For me to take them to the doctor and have an immunization give them brain damage or worse is just not a scenario that I would be able to cope with. The flipside however is that immunizations are there so that when a virus like polio or whooping cough goes viral the child that has had the immunizations are much safer. The research question...

...Zamani 1 Damien Zamani Professor Newman English 102 October 9th, 2012 Hills Like White Elephants Research Paper Despite the multiple critques of "Hills like White Elephants" I will briefly touch on a few. Several reviews elude the imagery and symbolism of the tale. Instead of list each critique in some haphazard bullet list we'll review the three points that were repeated and most obvious. The while elephant is the most prolific revolving theme of the story. Jig tells her boyfriend the hills look like white elepants. He responds that he's never seen one, to which she retorts "Of course you haven't". The hills are the imagery of the story. They are not actual hills but rather a metaphor for a choice of carrying a pregnancy to full term. White elephants are generally referred to as items whose maintenance costs exceeds their usefulness. In the story, Hemmingway is being subtle making an analogy of the hills being a child. For Jig, the costs exceeds the usefulness. To say children are exspensive is a Zamani 2 gross understatement. The hills represent an achievable undesirable journey. Jig comtemplates whether she's willing to make such a trip. This is eluded several times in the story. Her boyfriends perspective is that the hill is blocking his life with Jig. While jig indulges in the thought of the top of the hill; a child;family;life. The station is a allegory for change. The couple has a decision...
