...Running head: The Dating and Mating Process 1 The Dating and Mating Process God’s View and the World’s View Donna L. Herrera The Dating and Mating Process 2 Abstract This paper will explore two different principles of dating and finding a mate. The first will be a biblical view of finding of dating and finding a mate. Two Biblical references are used to support my opinion on the dating and mating process, how we should use God’s word through scripture to define relationships and the way we should live our lives. The second will be a world view of dating and finding a mate. I use my own personal experience and years of working with teenagers as a youth pastor to help express my opinion on how I feel the world view defines dating and looking for a mate. I refer to David Elkind (1984) wherein he suggests that teenagers have had to become premature adults. As hard as this to believe I feel that this is still true today. This paper is based on my sincere heartfelt feeling on this subject. The Dating and Mating Process 3 The Dating and Mating Process God’s View and the World’s View The Bible really does not address dating as it is viewed in our world today. I have heard it argued the Bible speaks of “courting” in Proverbs 18:22 which states that, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord.”(NKJV) The argument is the word find implies seeking or looking for a wife. I think...

...2 What to Wear! In the world today, people take for granted the little things. We all are so caught up on paying bills, finding a new job, or finding a sport for the kids to play. We never sit back and look at the small common things that we do in our everyday life. These small things help us get ready and get through our day. One small thing is the daily routines that we do. In this paper, I will discuss the daily routine of finding what to wear. Finding what to wear is something that affects all of us. I will explain my logic when it comes to this particular matter. Finding what to wear for that is a big deal for me! I work two jobs on a daily basis, so I actually go through this process twice. On my first job, I'm a supervisor for a residential treatment facility. Here we counsel children who are sexual abuse victims and offenders. Although, there is no strict dress code, it’s kind of known to be in business casual attire. By that being said, I know I shouldn’t wear any jerseys, shorts, or sneakers. So at night when I’m preparing myself for the next day, I automatically go to my polo style shirts. I then think about the activities that we have planned for the children for that day. If there is going to be a recreation activity, involving us to be outside. I then look at my jeans. If it’s going to be a day, where we conduct groups, have meetings, and visitors are going to be on campus. I go for my slacks. After figuring out my attire, now comes the process of getting...

...Most Noble Giovanni It has been a pleasure for me to read the works of Copernicus, Aristotle and Ptolemy on the universe aswell as Sidereus Nuncius by my very good friend Galileo Galilei in the same lifetime. These past few days have been extremely enlightening for me and I just wanted to share my thoughts with someone who thinks on the same spectrum as I. If you are unfamiliar with their works, I can explain briefly. Aristotle was a philosopher who studied under great philosopher Plato. He focused solely on the biological aspect of philosophy as opposed to Plato who focused on mathematics alone. He believed in what we called a geocentric universe; saying all planets and stars were perfect spheres while the earth was not. Ptolemy was also a believer of this geocentric theory stating that our earth was the center of the universe, backing his claims with his observations of stars and planets. Copernicus’s discoveries were truly exceptional. I can’t help but agree with his findings. He presented to the world the heliocentric system, which places the Sun at the center of our system. Copernicus observations he shared with the...

...is a trait of the male species that emphasizes strength, logic, and dominance. Femininity is considered to be a trait of the female species that emphasizes weakness, emotions, and being submissive. This may be how a good number of individuals believe it truly is. However, in today’s world and through my discoveries, it is a lot different and I will explain why. I went to a few different places to gather information on proving that both males and females carry a lot of the same traits now days. I went to a gym, a beauty salon, and a coffee shop and the results was no surprise to me. What made me decide on these specific places? A gym is characterized as a place to “get buff,” which represents a good portion of the male trait of strength. A beauty salon is characterized as a place to get “primped,” which represents part of the female traits. The coffee shop really does not represent either trait. Both males and females come here and it was the one place out of the three where the species were blended rather than separated. I will describe my finding for each place. When walking into a gym, some may believe they will find more males than females inside. I had a hard time deciding just which one to choose. I went into a place called Planet Fitness in Davenport Iowa and my findings showed there were more men in the fitness center than women and I wondered why. Today a lot of women are about staying in shape and getting fit, or in other terms “buff.” While walking around and checking...

...The things in this summary include the demonstration and capabilities of GPS Dots, wave bubbles, and GPS Spoofs. GPS Dots are little dots the size of your thumb that have the capabilities to track down the things it is attached to. This is helpful to find the things that are valuable and essential. It is predicted that in the next few years, everyone would have lots of GPS dots for everything they need. Wave bubbles are invisible “bubbles” that stretch for miles and jams or disables the transmissions that are sent from satellites to prevent a person from seeing where you go or what you do. It also prevents satellites from giving information to GPS signal receivers. Wave bubbles are illegal to use. GPS Spoofs are some devices that are easily assembled and they target GPS receivers in which they send bogus information to make the GPS show information that is not sent by the satellite, but sent from the GPS Spoof device. This is used to hack others GPS’. GPS’S effect my life a little. They help me to find places where I want to go (by my IPod) like going to a store, my friends house or finding my friend were he/she is (by the app called “find my Iphone”, where another iOS device can find your device and data. For my parents, it helps them go to places they never been before, and helps them go to the work places or university (since it is far). For my whole family we usually use for recreational purposes, like finding restaurants or theatres. GPS dots would affect me greatly...

...throughout this trip, that lasted a mere three and a half months, we have experienced a great deal of narratives. These have ranged from incredibly uplifting to deeply solemn. These stories have shaped the people, places, and history that we have learned about, and continue to shape the people who encounter them today. Some of these narratives are extremely hard to express, verging on the border of the inexpressible. However, there lies an importance in being bale to articulate certain memories and experiences to pass them on to the ones who did not have the privilege of experiencing them. These experiences have shaped me beyond belief, and I hope to express how these varied experiences have changed me for the better. One...

...My Take on Environmentalism There are many types of environmental problems that the world is experiencing nowadays, be it the pollution found in the cities, deforestation of natural rainforests, and the melting of the polar ice caps. One of the worst environmental problems, if not the worst, that the Earth is currently facing is global warming. Global warming is the gradual increase of the Earth’s surface temperature, mainly due to the effects of certain greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from either deforestation or monoxides found in pollution. These gases would trap the heat that would supposedly escape from the surface of the Earth, which would effectively increase the Earth’s surface temperature. From the name itself, we can already know the main effect of global warming to the Earth. There is this gradual change in temperature, more specifically, a rise in temperature of the Earth’s climate system. From this rise in temperature, more side effects would be branching out. Some of these include the depletion of different bodies of water, forest fires, unpredictable weather, and the melting of the polar caps. It would be fair to say that humans must reap what they sow, that because we have been burning fossil fuels and cutting down trees, we deserve to suffer the consequences given by global warming. Although, it is not just humans who are experiencing these side effects, plants and animals alike also pay for the cost of our negligence to our environment...

...Aquifers Aquifers are one of the earth’s most important resources. Aquifers provide drinking water to millions of people in the United States. Aquifers are also a source of water for industrial and agricultural uses. More must be done to protect this resource. Currently we are seeing the depletion and contamination of this precious resource. Chemicals we put on our lawns to chemical spills are leading to the contamination of the United States’ aquifers. Over pumping of the aquifers is also another growing problem. As the population of countries is increasing, so is the amount of water needed to satisfy the population. If countries are not careful about the consumption and contamination of these aquifers, we could be on the verge of losing our water supply that is used for drinking and farming. Contributing factors and those affected Sadly the thing that is contributing most to this problem is the very thing that can fix it and that is humans. Also, it is the people around the world that are affected by the depletion of our aquifers. The increase in the demand for water is directly related to the increased population around the world. Water drilling is far exceeding the ability of the aquifers to replenish themselves. The world is taking too much. Unfortunately, many times it is not known until one sees that the well is actually already dry. What most people do not see is the link between the amount of water we have and food. Seventy percent of all water is used for farming...

...South, World Com/MCI INC. Tyco Ltd, Enron and Arthur Anderson all have in common, they all shared one weakness that has killed all companies alike.... the inability and the lack of quickness to spot bad accounting practices and procedures that were in place that lead to their immediate demise. It is because of this bad oversight and bad practices that Corporate America is railing for new talent, only for the talent not to be at the caliber they wanted. Some within Corporate America blame the current education system for not preparing today's "OVER ENTITLED STUDENT" who feel as though they can rightfully command a 6 figure salary as if they were Moses parting the Red Sea, with regards to doing the job they have been hired to do only to do nothing! In my paper, I not only place blame where it needs to be, at both the foot of the Educational System and Corporate America for not doing their part in order to prepare today's students, but I also state from those what can be done to help today's student over come today’s current job disparities within the field of accounting. Intro: In today’s tough job market, companies all across the United States are in a race as if it were a nuclear arms deal in order to find the top talent within the accounting industry. However they are all chanting one phrase as if it were a drum beat, in other words they can’t find the skilled workers that are needed to do the job and at times filling the job can take a while. The article, Finding the Accounting...

...Karessa Cohron Soc 125 Paper 2 Option 1: Alien World Shamus Khan’s Privilege the Making of An Adolescent Elite at St. Paul’s School explores an elite educational institution in the east coast. This institution was once only known and attended by the bourgeois but is now open to those with less cultural capital. By attending this high school, one can be sure the cultural gain and opportunities will open doors to a successful future. Kahn writes, “there are lessons at St. Paul’s which create privilege, “Instead of entitlement, I found that St. Paul increasingly cultivates privilege. Whereas elites of the past were entitled-building their worlds around the “right” breeding, connections, and culture-new elites develop privilege: sense of self and mode interaction that advantage them” (Khan:14). In this paper, I will describe my experience in an “alien” social context. This institution was called Lynwood Women’s Facility. Khan describes Saint Paul’s as an institution once attended only by the bourgeois. I entered Lynwood Women’s facility thinking that this was an institution only for hard core criminals, not someone “like me” who came from a family of so called “privilege”. Little did I know, It was not just for hard core criminals, it was opened to those of privilege as well....

...Mean World Syndrome Soc 101l Background Our society tends to place high value on its members being well versed in the happenings of the world. We’re expected to know what’s going on down the street as well as the latest country to revolt in the Middle East. We’re constantly bombarded with news. A simple click of the mouse at work, turning on the radio in the car, or flipping on the T.V. at home and all the issues of the world are dumped into your lap. Unfortunately in the media the negatives sell more than the positives when trying to attain viewers. The problem this creates is viewers base their whole day, career, and sometimes lives around what the media says. In this paper I intend to study and gather information in regards to the amount of news media people view and the development of mean world syndrome. To determine if the two are directly related. Mean World Syndrome is a phenomenon where the violence-related content of mass media convinces viewers that the world is more dangerous than it actually is, and prompts a desire for more protection than is warranted by any actual threat. (Gerber 2010) An article that presented an interesting take on this issue was Mediators of the association between television viewing and fear of crime: Perceived personal risk and perceived ability to cope by Kathleen Custers and Jan Van den Bulck. This article focuses on the explanatory process of television viewing and the fear of crime. They believe personal risk perception and ability...

... 5/07/2013 For this assignment made me think a lot about the things that a lot of great men and woman have done scientifically before I start this assignment I want to tell you about some great people that I admire in the scientific world. Those are some of the scientist that I admire first one is Albert Einstein developed the special and general theories of relativity. In 1921, he won the Nobel Prize for physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect. Einstein is generally considered the most influential physicist of the 20th century. Another one is Gorge Washington Carver; Carver was born into slavery in Diamond, Missouri, around 1864. The exact year and date of his birth are unknown. Carver went on to become one of the most prominent scientists and inventors of his time, as well as a teacher at the Tuskegee Institute. Carver devised over 100 products using one of these crops the peanut including dyes, plastics and gasoline. Since I took this course science had made me think about my life a lot Science has improved my life in many ways. First, it's given me a safe and reliable means of controlling my reproductive choices. It's improved my understanding of the nutritional needs of my body and what I feed my daughter. Science has provided many of the modern day conveniences that have become essential to my life like electricity, car, and wireless devices. Science has also given to me a whole idea...
