...My whole life I have heard it said that if you have a disease you look for and use the cure or treatment that has been most effective with cases similar to yours. You would never hear of someone giving up their life and not even trying to overcome what was coming their way. In Atul Gawande’s Being Mortal, he expresses how doctors today are now beginning to focus more on how patients want to spend the rest of their lives no matter what the diagnosis is, if in a state of needing to make a major medical decision. Gawande starts the novel off about how we expect and are known for dying. For example any type of cancer, or illness we can develop throughout our lifetime, not just at old age. He tells us how through his own experiences with medical...

...years before. You are in such unbearable pain that you can’t even cry. Although your family is there for your every step of the way you begin to think, could ending your life be the answer to the pain? You are in more pain than you can bear. There is no way that you could function without assistance. You think and feel as if your life has no meaning. Well in all reality this isn’t something anyone needs to imagine. This is a real situation for many, many people. These people should be able to make their own choices and have control of their own lives. B. Background information of the topic: Euthanasia is a term still new to many of us. It is a Greek term meaning ‘good death’. It means self imposed death in a relatively painless and merciful way. Euthanasia is categorized in different ways, which include voluntary, non-voluntary, or involuntary and active or passive. Euthanasia is usually used to refer to active euthanasia, and in this sense, euthanasia is usually considered to be criminal homicide, but voluntary, passive euthanasia is widely non-criminal. C. Preview of the speech (central idea): Now let's take a look at the reasons on why euthanasia should be legalized. Euthanasia is about giving people the right to choose how they want to live and die, saves money in medical bills, and it also stops the person from having a bad quality of life. Transition to body of speech : II. BODY A. Main-point 1: Everyone has the right to choose how they...

...Side of buffalo for two weeks has taught me a great deal of lessons. I believe that one of the biggest challenge as someone that does not live in the east side is to convince the people who live there that they nee to be happy with what they are getting. I found from listening to the residence that they are not happy with what is going on in their town. Even the good things that happen such as the refurbishment of the Buffalo Central Terminal they don’t seem to like. I believe that the Train Station is a great thing to do for the community. It is just something that is going to take time to do. The people do not want to wait for something like this. I believe that they do not understand that this could bring more...

...I Want To Live Life What do you think of when you hear the word marriage? When I hear that word, I think of two people so in love that they want to spend the rest of their lives together. They want to raise a family in a big house with a white picket fence and live happily ever after. Lets be real, statistics show that 40-50% of marriages will end in divorce. I don’t know about you, but those odds aren’t really in my favor. So when I look at it all there are just to many disadvantages to marriage. Getting married is such a hassle, why would anyone want to. You have to deal with wedding planners, flower arrangements, guest lists and etc. Theirs just to much to put into getting married your already stressing yourself out before you actually get into the marriage. Lets not forget about the things you have to give up. Such as, you aren’t able to take risks. The way I see it, life involves risks. Some that betters you off and some that bites you in the butt and set you back. From experience with me when I fall or get set back, I get up and take another risk and move on. I think taking risks are fine, as long as you’re the one who suffers from the setbacks. You can’t take those chances with another person’s life, health; money and future are in your hands. It would be a pretty selfish thing to do. To me marriage means your keeping the best interest of two people in mind at all times. Yeah, it might keep you from going to jail or other stupid moves, but it might also hold you...

... "You will never achieve wealth in spending money, wealth can only be achieved in saving money." -Helmut Ament- Why do we Fail with Money? We fail with Money and we don’t build wealth and financial security because we make a few key, consistent errors. These are common errors that are caused by our mental “hard-‐wiring” and our inability to calculate the long-term effects of our decisions. If you learn About these errors and you overcome them, you can take control of your financial life and Your financial success. If you don’t learn about these errors, you’ll keep making them, and you’ll keep going down a path of having less success with money, less control of your life, and less of a feeling of security and safety for yourself and others. If you want to get control of your financial life... and get control of your ENTIRE life... then you must educate yourself and learn how to do it. No one is going to do it for you. A Lot of people think that money is something you dont talk about, something bad. Some people think that people who have money are “bad people” and people who are poor are “good people.” Regardless of how you feel about money, what you think money is, or whether or not you think that people who have money are good or bad, it’s likely that you DO FEEL one thing: Most people feel like... Money controles their lives Every important decision is affected by money. Money is THE way to get things like food, transportation, the home you live in...

...days all you hear about is global warming and how all this pollution is ruining the earth, and how going green will solve any future problems. Now say you do decide to go green but wait going green means you have to spend more money. Now why the hell would you spend more money to go green? Especially when this is a worldwide situation and the economy not being the greatest. Who in his or her minds would spend more money when everyone is trying to save money? When it comes to the cost of going green, the long-term benefits to gain often outweigh the costs. The challenge for most people is really to remember this and choose to make an investment. While researching about this I came across an article stating someone’s opinion and one phrase caught my eye. “If we only focus on the cost of going green to our pockets today, but ignore the higher cost of not going green to our environment tomorrow, then we are being irresponsible and unkind – not only to humanity and other living things on earth, but also to ourselves. We will be unkind to ourselves, because many of us will still be alive, fortunately or unfortunately, to experience the harms we bring about to the environment -- pollution, global warming and climate change.” Thinking about this phrase made me think, if your willing to put the money down now you’ll save the rest of it in the future. But why do I have to pay so much, wouldn’t going green be cheaper to make the person want to make such changes in their lives? Lets...

...Meaning of Life Identity is a very important part of everybody. It defines who you are, what you think and what you believe in. Nobody has the same identity. To some people it is easy to find out who they are, but to others it is a long journey which includes things that most people do not try during their lives, for example to leave the civilization and live alone in the woods without any material advantages. A: “Into the Wild” by Sean Penn is about a boy called Chris. After his graduation he leaves his family to travel around on his own. Chris leaves because he cannot stand the focus on material advantages, and he also wants to run away from the dark secrets his parents have kept from him his whole life. Just like the character in Thoreau’s text “Walden”, Chris goes into the wild to get away from society and to live deliberately. Both of them want to get back to basics and away from materialism. The film is very critical towards society, and especially Chris’s parents try to make it look like everything is good on the outside even though the family is falling apart. The parents are not happy, but they stay together anyway because they are afraid of the opinions of other people. This is also a trace of the Puritain legacy where divorces were not accepted. The focus on the opinion of other people comes across in the first part of the film when Chris still is at home and his parents want to give him a new car because the other one is a wreck. The parents say to Chris...

...Kristine Alpurado Professor Melodia English 100: College Writing 02/15/2016 Homework #1 “Looking for Work” p. 22 Engaging the Text, q. 1-5 1. The narrator is so attracted to the family life depicted on TV because they live a perfect life and that is exactly what he wants. One thing he feels that is wrong with his life is his family’s appearance. He believes if they improved their looks they would be accepted by others such as white people. This has little impact on his family because they realize life is not perfect and they are not in control of certain things. The family realizes they do not have to change in order to be liked by others as long as they have each other to love. 2. At first, the narrator goes looking for work because he wants to be wealthy. He believed that being wealthy would take away all his family’s problems. At the end of the story, the narrator starts to accept the fact that he cannot change the way his family is. The meaning of work has changed because he realizes he wants to work for the right reasons not just because he feels obligated to fix his family. 3. Soto’s family life was not perfect, but he lived in a stable household with people he loved. Soto’s thinking was wrong because he wanted more in life however, he failed to realize that he was lucky and fortunate enough to have the people he loves most close to him. For example, he wanted his brother and sister to wear shoes at dinner as if it were going to change things. Changing their...

We all go and are going through things that seems to hard for us to bear. There are many things that we have been praying for and we wonder Lord are you listening to me?

I stop by to let you know that He hears every prayer and it is how you are dealing with the situation that is affecting the answer. Don’t you realize that He told us that we have the power to speak things into exsistance. Take not that on the 3 P’s. P= I have taught you in my word how to first Pray P= I have given you the Power to speak over your situation P= Then after you have pray and authorized your power to speak, then you have to learn to leave it alone and Praise for the result. Some of us don’t want our situations to die. We get all the attention as long as we are going through. If the Lord make a way for my bills to be paid, I can’t hit up the mission department no more.
