...Breastfeeding versus Bottle feeding has been a long time controversy. Studies has been done on young, first time mothers, shown that the decision-making on whether to breast or bottle feed was based on social influences and was not the best choice for the mother and her child (Wambach & Koehn). These young mothers need the facts. Is breastfeeding healthier for one’s child? Does the child receive enough from the mother? Is bottle feeding the cause in overweight children? Does bottle feeding really cause children’s teeth to decay? How do mothers know if her child is getting enough from breastfeeding? Is bottle feeding really measured out? These are all questions that mothers and doctors wonder about. History History of breastfeeding more than likely began when the first man and woman gave birth to his and her first child. According to researched, mothers who died during childbirth or anytime while nursing a baby, the baby was left to die or the baby was raised and fed by another lactating mother. Whenever the lactating mother was not available, mothers from the community would attempt to feed the baby other food, thus the beginning of formula. Babies were fed milk from animals such as goats or cows, and often liquids that consisted of broth, sugar or honey with water, and sometimes wine. Researched shows that many years ago babies were unnaturally nourished from a variation of utensils, feeding cups, and bottles that frequently ended disastrously. Studies show that...

...There are hundreds of businesses that are required to perform drug testing on new employees, as well as on-going and random testing throughout their employment in an attempt to fulfill liability and safety requirements and make employees fully accountable for their actions. Even our soldiers have to pass drug tests so that they can go overseas to fight for our country, but the recipients of Michigan Welfare do not need to oblige. Paid employees have to adhere to drug testing in order to keep their jobs, so that they can receive the paycheck for which they worked hard, and earned. Employees pay taxes too, which to towards State and Local programs, like Welfare. Is it right that Welfare recipients not have to pass a drug test to receive free assistance? They don’t have to work for this money, in fact it’s intended to temporarily assist families while moms and dads get back on their feet and secure regular income. Even if someone on welfare applies for a job at Walmart, they’re going to have to take a drug test, so why shouldn’t they have to take one to receive state aid? Does socioeconomic status impact whether or not one should be subject to drug testing? There is a new suspicion-based pilot law that has been passed in Michigan that should have just gotten underway last month. If someone who receives Family Independent Program benefits is suspected of drug use, they can be asked to submit to one. If the drug test is positive, the recipient will be urged to enter a treatment...

...Harassment against overweight people. Harassment is a hot topic in today’s world. People are stepping up and saying how we treat gays, minorities, pay wages, women, are hot topics for discrimination, and we are not going to ignore it anymore. However, through these groups there is one particular group that gets overlooked or even to some, think these people should be treated horribly because they are overweight and are those who caused themselves to be this way. In America at the time of 2010 the percentage of overweight people were up to over 63% and rising. (Hendrick, 2010). This particular group should be heard and not picked on, should have laws to protect those who mean harm to them. Also with this particular group, are women harassed more than men and are women judge far more harshly for being obesed compared to men that are merely thought of as being big boned. In today’s world, harassment against any person in the world is not easily tolerated, but for obese women it is something that is not really talked about and happens more often than not. As of today there are a few states and cities that will recognize people are overweight are protected legally under the civil and human rights. (Puhl, 2012 ). While victims of harassment and discrimination have tried to get restitution in different states that they are not covered in under the Disability Act of 1990. The Disability Act of 1990 defines disability as those with a personal or mental impairment that limits one...

...structure, making any ingenuity to fall by the wayside. Go over the rules on how to write a general essay, and then structure your compare/contrast essay in one of the following two formats: 1. Introduction 2. Your introduction — like the five-paragraph-essay, should open generally (with a quotation, anecdote, generalization), and lead into the thesis statement. 3. Topic 1 4. This next portion of your essay (which may consist of one paragraph or several) should cover only the first topic of the comparison and contrast. Compare/Contrast essays take two topics and illustrate how they are similar and dissimilar. Do not mention topic 2 in this first portion. 5. Topic 2 6. This next portion of your essay (which may also consist of one or more paragraphs) should cover the second of the two topics. Do not discuss Topic 1 in this section. Since you have already gone into great detail about it, you may allude to Topic 1 briefly; however, do not analyze Topic 1 in this section. This portion of the paper is to discuss Topic 2 in great detail. 7. Topics 1 and 2 Together 8. Now that you have analyzed both Topic 1 and Topic 2 independently, now it is time to analyze them together. This section may also be one or several paragraphs. 9. Conclusion 10. The conclusion — like the introduction — should be a generalization of the thesis. This paragraph should express your certainty and absolute knowledge on the subject matter. You should reaffirm your thesis (essentially restate it in...

...The first useful topic we covered was about planning out a weekly schedule. One of the first class activities we did was highlighting our “free time” on a time sheet to realize how much time we actually had. Before college started, I was stressed thinking about the time I needed to study. However, this activity made me realize I have a lot of “free time”. The next useful topic we covered was the advisor interview. It was not until I finished my advisor interview that I realized I needed to switch advisors. I realized I did not have the connection with my advisor and did not trust him when selecting classes. I always questions if I should switch, but this interview helped me make the final decision to switch. I am extremely thankful I did this activity because my advisor will impact my experience for the next four...

...more types of clothing exist than the actual number of people. With so many different alternatives of fashion, the fashion industry is trying to please too many customers with variety. There are currently various styles to choose from, and the clothes people wear categorize or label them long before they realize it. The three fashion brands that will be analyzed extensively are Chanel, Nike, and Hot Topic. These brands have apparel but are completely different in their target audience. Chanel is a prestigious high-fashion brand; Nike is a popular athletic line; Hot Topic is musically and artistically edgier with a smaller target audience between the three. With these apparel brands, a person wearing each would be labeled or even stereotyped. One wearing a Chanel’s 2012 Spring/Summer ready-to-wear designer outfit with a white jacket, lambskin dress with pearls, and a glass pearl belt would be labeled as rich, successful, and intelligent. Another wearing Nike running apparel consisting of a shirt, shorts, and footwear is someone athletic and always on the go. An individual in a Hot Topic black graphic music t-shirt with plug piercings would be stereotyped as “Goth”, tough, or edgy. 2. 2. | | | Geographic | * Located at tourist...

...Jessica Gibson I think my essay could have been a lot better than what I did. My essay lacked sequential order. I feel like my sentences could have been a bit more complex also. I think my topics did address my thesis statement the correct way. My paragraphs did not have a strong closing to support my topic. My essay only had little coherence; It flowed in certain portions of the essay. I think the order of my essay could have been revised from less important to most important. I think I did have strong evidence to support my topic but I could’ve used more vivid language. I also think the essay did reflect the evidence and explained the importance. I didn’t use many transitions in the essay neither. I think I could have used more transitional words to help my essay flow better. My goal when rewriting my essay is to be as vivid as possible. I admit my rough draft had many errors but I will try my best to avoid those errors when writing my final draft. My final draft will have better sentence structure and more transitions to help my essay flow better. I will try my best to support my topics in each paragraph so my essay. My final draft should be fresh and interesting. I think I didn’t paste myself for my rough draft and was trying to get the essay done. I must learn to paste myself and take out time to get all my thoughts together to improve my essay. I will try to use some of the techniques from the class to have a successful...
