...underagedrinking.samhsa.gov, over 70% of eighth graders said alcohol is easy to get 30% of children age 12-14 get alcohol from a family member. These statistics show that drinking is very popular in middle school. It seems as though these kids already know what they are doing by eighth grade, so D.A.R.E classes must be taught at an earlier age. Another reason classes should be taught earlier is from my own personal experience. High school football games should be a memorable part of their high school career. Instead of innocent cheering and fun at the games the young students show up intoxicated with the smell of alcohol on their breath. Now a day, children find it harder to enjoy things sober. To support my own personal experience I decided to interview an actual student from Mahtomedi High School. When asked how many of her friends drink she replied with, “Almost all of my friends drink almost every weekend, with an exception of 3 or 4 of my close friends.” When asked what her views on drinking she said, “Drinking makes people do things that they wouldn’t regularly do, and my friends use that as an...

...Xavier Hayes Microeconomics Essay April 1, 2013 Contrary to popular beliefs, Entitlements works! What are entitlements? Entitlements are the payments to individuals in the form of Medicare and Medicaid, unemployment, welfare, food stamps and child support. Entitlements also include grants paid in lieu of tax credits to energy firms. Why the debate? Entitlements account for $246 billion and critics of entitlements believe it should be cut and taxpayer money could fund better projects. Supports of entitlements are usually those that have benefited from such programs. However, the shrinking number of taxpayers contributing to government revenues and the growing number of people receiving benefits is cause to worry. The constitutional laws allowing entitlements were enacted in 1860s to protect citizen from poverty or an oppressive government (Jost, 2003). Today, many that benefit from entitlements are from inner city and low-income families and are the people that need entitlements the most. Effects on the economic society Some believe that sitting around waiting on your unemployment or welfare and not actively contributing to society encourages laziness. Added to this increased burden on a shrinking tax payer pool, critics want to cut funding and believe those funds could be best spent in other areas. However, those working closely with the recipients of those funds firmly believe stop funding is not the answer. Robin Tucker, a social worker who supports...

...got their cocaine from their employers, whom thought the drug could increase their productivity. Some of the earliest reports came from cargo handlers who worked in New Orleans and on the Mississippi river in 1890. Cocaine was also available in this way on public works projects and plantations in Kentucky and Mississippi. It was also available at textile mills in Connecticut and Maine from 1894 to 1897 (Miller, 2013, p. 185). Cocaine was also beginning to be used recreationally. This was particularly so in prostitution. Prostitutes and Pimps would use cocaine as well as their clients, some of whom would be laborers. Cocaine would be available in dance halls and saloons, where it would be partaken by customers, as well as staff such as bartenders. It was made available but local drugstores where snuffs could be purchased without a prescription. It was the non-medicinal use of cocaine by the poor, non-whites, and women that drove the white population into hysteria over cocaine (Miller, 2013, p....

...Individual Expertise vs. Collective Wisdom To quote James Surowiecki’s book, The Wisdom of Crowds, “Groups do not need to be dominated by exceptionally intelligent people in order to be smart.”(Surowiecki xiii) Surowiecki’s claim offers the argument that when a crowd consists of diverse, independent, decentralized individuals, their aggregated responses will be more accurate than even the predictions of experts. Although I find myself agreeing with Surowiecki’s findings, I am now of the two minds about his claim that the wisdom of crowds is likely better than the wisest person in the crowd. On the one hand I agree that crowds are wiser than the wisest individual in the crowd. On the other hand, I’m not sure if the additional consideration of monetary gain or personal incentive may have just as a significant impact on the totality of his final results. (Graff and Birkenstein 66) In an effort to prove the theory that there is wisdom in crowds, I decided to start with one of Surowiecki’s direct quotes “The real key, it turns out, is not so much perfecting a particular method, but satisfying the conditions—diversity, independence, and decentralization—that a group needs to be smart. In pursuit of proving this argument true, I’ve conducted my own experiment involving a small group of people, who were asked the following question: “What would you consider the five most vital items needed from an emergency preparedness kit, which would provide you the greatest chances...

Capone was a very bright student, but he quit school in the sixth grade after associating with a street gang led by Johnny Torrio. In fact, he was a member of two “kid gangs”: the Brooklyn Rippers and the Forty Thieves Juniors. Between the scams he did with his group, he worked as a clerk in a candystore, a pinboy at a bowling alley, and a book bindery cutter. He soon became part of the notorious Five Points gang, and worked as a bouncer and a bartender in hideout of Frankie Yale, a famous New York gangster. It is here where he received the infamous nickname “Scarface”. After giving an insult to a female patron,...

...In my own opinion it started very different, it caught my attention in a way I thought I wouldn’t be caught. Usually it is action, describing of a character or the intro to the story like how the world was and how it acted such saying I am a large fan of fantasy books. In The Name of the Wind it started with a descriptive way of an empty inn, that I didn’t expect and how descriptive they explained the silence was also what caught my eye. The Name of the Wind started out not like any book or story I have read or found online, it caught me well and as I explain further, those will see that I am very keen on reading more. I may read more later into the evening but for now, I wish to talk about the first few pages I have read. As the setting starts in the late night, what seems to be a small crowd gathered in a tavern as one named Cob would tell stories to those around. Cob seems to be the fun of the group from first impressions of him, the one that you would go to have fun but never take the advice he gives. The group is of five that seem to know each other well, good friends from what it seems. A blacksmiths apprentice from first impressions seems to be the curious one of the five, the one that wants to learn more and seems quite interested in Cobs stories. There are three others, Jake, Graham and Shep. They don’t go into detail with Graham and Shep except Graham is still known as new in the small town even though he lived there for a year, but that is how it is when you live in...

...Essay Allusions to Hamlet in Modern World As everyone knows, Hamlet was written by William Shakespeare over 400 years ago, but, however, it continues to reign as one of the most imitated and relevant plays of our time. Interpretations of Shakespeare’s classic tale of revenge have turned up in some surprising places: children’s television programs and films, a popular television series about a corrupt motorcycle gang and other well-known shows, motion pictures, and best-selling contemporary novels. Perhaps one of the most interesting Hamlet interpretations is a film for children called Green Eggs and Hamlet. The live-action film, released in 1995 and written by Mike O’Neil, retells the tragic tale in classic Dr. Seuss rhyme. The film follows Prince Hamlet as he seeks to avenge his father’s murder, while his servant, Sam Iamlet, encourages him to sample a new food dish. The Disney classic, The Lion King, is also fully based on Hamlet. Released in 1994, The Lion King contains some direct parallels to the play, including the death of King Mufasa at the hands of his scheming brother, Scar. Mufasa’s young son, Simba, is visited by his dead father’s ghost, and there is even comic relief provided by two supplemental characters – Timon and Pumba. Although there is some debate over whether the references to Hamlet were intentional, this is where the similarities end, as The Lion King has a much happier ending and far fewer deaths. Sesame Street also took on the almighty play. Monsterpiece...
