...A lot has changed in our houses from the earlier nineteen hundreds to present day furniture that we think of today. In this illustration by Chris Ware of a Thanksgiving dinner, Chris wants to illustrate to the viewers of a family from the nineteen-forty’s and contrast the family with another family from the two-thousand era. The cover was published in the year 2006 around the time of the Afghan-Iraqi war in the Middle-East and, to me, it seems like Chris wants you to see how families interacted back then and how families interact now. There are a decent amount of subtle images within these two images that show the viewer’s how life was back about seventy years ago and how life is now. First off, the image at the top of the page has a space heater right next to the dresser in the family’s house. The bottom image on the page has a thermostat perched on the wall right next to the opening leading into the kitchen. With the space heater in the top image, to me, the author of these two images is suggesting that in the time period this image was created there might not have been air conditioning or heat that moves through the air ducts like almost every house does today. Or the air ducts might have been around at the time but only the wealthy could afford to purchase them suggesting that the family is a middle-class family representing the majority of the population. Both families seem to be a very contemporary family because they have, during the time period of WWII, very modern appliances...

...quite a few fond memories of Thanksgiving dinners surrounded by family and loved ones. One of my favorite traditions at these meals was sitting at the kids' table. My older cousin Courtney and I would always sit next each other, giggling to ourselves about the ridiculous plaid shirt Uncle Chris was wearing. Before dinner started I tended to sneak into the kitchen stealing whatever bits of food I could. Sometimes I wasn’t extremely sneaky and my grandma would catch me sneaking food. When it was finally time for dinner, all the cousins would rush down from the upstairs bedrooms. Usually we spent our time playing on the old shag carpet with Legos, until we were called down to the dinner table. All throughout dinner, Courtney and I would each so much food that we could barely move. The creamy mashed potatoes, juicy turkey, soft...

...drug abuse can not go un-noticed any longer. The damages of drug abuse are widespread. Lots of communities, families, and people’s lives have been lost and torn apart due to an individual’s drug abuse and addiction to drugs. With the recent knowledge of Albert Cain’s drug addiction, a well-known public figure, and the very visible effects drug abuse has had on our communities. It is imperative that we at AOne-RX start making changes within our business concentrating on areas such as patient rules and regulations, as well as restrictions and guidelines. Members of the board want to go back to the drawing board, to figure out where we as a nation has failed in keeping awareness about drug addiction accessible to the general public. If we are going to effectively treat drug addiction, and or abuse we need to understand what drug abuse and or addiction is. “Drug addiction is a very chronic...

...A mother or father that just finished making dinner and what a parent is expected to do is shout tho their children that dinner is ready come to the table or go to their room physically and get them, but parents cannot even be bothered to do that anymore, instead once again get on the group message to the kids and type out that dinner is ready and hit send. Alessondra Villegas’ “The Influence of Technology on Family Dynamics” goes a bit deeper into what Alex Williams expressed in his essay about the rift between where the line is drawn between “family” time. “Children between the ages of eight to eighteen years old spend an average of seven and a half hours a day, seven days a week with media” (Villegas 4, as cited in Rideout, Foehr, & Roberts, 2010, pg. 1). Parents have enabled this and have allowed their children to spend this time on the internet with their “cyber” friends where that time could have been put into making dinner together or going out to the store together. Parent’s can argue that they do spend time with their kids by checking on them through social media because they are “friends” on Facebook or Instagram and can see when and what their kid’s post and respond to them if needed so they look like the cool parent that...

...hard to live by because my world was turning upside down. Asking myself why now? Why her? She meant so much to me and my family. My aunt was a loving person, always caring for others and focusing on the good. My aunt Jamie was a very passionate kindergarten teacher at Sugar Creek Elementary School. She loved the field of knowledge and brought it to the classroom. She sincerely cared for her kids and encouraged them to be better. She had an impact on almost all the students she had, everyone loved her as a teacher because she was upbeat and enjoyed the kids. The other teachers also loved working with her throughout the years. Aunt Jamie always did more than what was required because she thought that the kids should deserve more. Another great thing my aunt did was adopt a child who I am thankful for today to have as a cousin. Shauna was always part of the family because my aunt would invite her to the annual cooks forest trip every summer. Although one day she decided to ask Shauna if she wanted to officially be apart of the family and to live with my aunt, uncle and other cousins. My aunt was able to provide Shauna with a better life and give her more than her own mom could. She cared so much for my whole family and always brought light to it. Even though she wasn’t my mom she felt like my second one. She always put a smile on my face and I loved the happiness that she brought me. Until one day when the happiness was gone. The world seems to stand still when...

...mistake. He shift his weight just a bit to far off the center of the board again. There was no mistaking it, he was going under whether he tried to stop it or not. He only had a second to fix it, or two if he was lucky. Dane tried to adjust just a little back toward the center of the board. Too much and he would throw his balance off the other direction. It was difficult to judge how far to move when you are ducked down low inside the swell of a wave. He tried to concentrate on enjoying the moment of riding inside a great wave like this, while still adjusting. For a moment it was perfect, then he felt the board fish-tail as he overshot his adjustment. The world flipped upside down and took a quick breath before going under the wave. The strength of the wave was much greater than his, and it rolled him under the water for a few seconds as the full wave passed him. He couldn't tell which direction to swim for a moment, but he quickly noticed the feel of the line attached to his ankle pulling telling him where his board was floating on the surface. Coming to the surface, he shook the water from his face and grabbed his board for support. Damn, he thought, I nearly had that one perfect. Shaking his head again, he climbed onto his board and started to paddle in. He could see his younger brother on shore waving him in; probably to tell him he was late for dinner again. As he reached shore, he stood and held his board under his arm. He brother walked over with the all too familiar...

...many years. Charlie came towards me singing and dancing. He grabbed me, and we sang to each other and danced. He twirled me all over the kitchen, while David sat in his usual spot at the table, laughing at us as. When the song ended, Charlie spun me into my chair and ran and got a cup of coffee and plopped it down in front of me. David and I laughed hysterically and commented on how insane Charlie was. “You know you loved it and now you're going to be an addict and every morning your going to come down here and beg me to dance with you before you go to work.” I laughed and said, “Sure thing Charlie.” I could think of worse ways to start my morning. I did love Charlie’s taste in music. It was very eclectic with songs from all eras. It was all just really “feel good” kinds of music. Charlie was right about this morning dance thing. Every morning, thus far, I did go out into the world smiling and happy. I loved Charlie’s warmth and enthusiasm. I couldn’t help but be infected by it. “And if you behave maybe I’ll give you a dance before dinner...

...(Cherry, 2014). This learning process begin as a movement in psychology which appeared in 1913 when John Broadus Watson published the classic article 'Psychology as the behaviorist views it'. He projected the development of classical conditioning which was based on Pavlov’s observations, he was able to explain all aspects of human psychology (McLeod, 2008). According to McLeod, (2008) “Everything from speech to emotional responses were simply patterns of stimulus and response. Watson denied completely the existence of the mind or consciousness. Watson believed that all individual differences in behavior were due to different experiences of learning. He famously said: "Give me a dozen healthy infants, well-formed, and my own specified world to bring them up in and I'll guarantee to take any one at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select -...

As you can see in my time management worksheet, I spend the majority of time working and a lot of time being a mom to Nicolas and a wife.

...all I see is people being rude to each other. Moral values mean nothing these days. People are too busy to greet one another. All you see on the news is how a group of teenager beating up a 70 year old man in the name of fun or gang initiation. Things are getting out of hand, and it will get worse if we stand by and do nothing. Compared to the old days society today has plunged to a new low in moral values. Let’s go back as far the 1950s where our moral values were at its best. I wasn’t around in the 1950s but I’ve watch television shows that opened my eyes and my thoughts on how things used to be. Families used to sit on their tables every night as the father blessed the food to eat dinner, and talk to each other about how the day went, and thanking mother for a good meal. Then after dinner, the family would sit together in the living room just enjoying each other’s presence. That was the time where a family would make...

...In David Foster Wallace’s graduation speech, “This is Water”, presented to Kenyan College graduating class of 2005, Wallace influences the class to view the world as a whole rather than independently. Wallace opposes that we should not feel as though the world spins around just our needs additionally the needs of others however he makes a point to express that everybody has a decision of how to view the world. His argument is clear however but not accepted by most. Through his personal experiences and examples he gave in the speech every one of his parables conveys a different message. His credibility lies within freedom of choice he wants his audience to have the choice to make decisions that will positively affect them. Wallace discusses...

Next are IPads and other gaming systems. People can connect with virtual strangers in a virtual world and can pretend to be anything they want to be.
