...Guinea-pig instrument that the government uses to make us see how they want everyday life to be. For example these are some of the shows that use stereotypes in every episode to trick us and to make us desire to be like them just because of their gender, race or class. The Cartoon "Hey Arnold" was created by Craig Bartlett and was diversely a stereotypical show that was basically showing people how middle class/poor kids in the ghetto lived and told the adventures they had together. The main Character in this cartoon was a little scrawny low class white kid named Arnold. Arnold is well respected around the city that he lives in just because of his humble and well-mannered nature. He is a quiet kid that has group of friends that he kicks it with and they describe him by his funny shaped "football head". As you watch the show you find that Arnold is Adventures and brave, and likes to take action in solving whatever they get themselves into. He is perceived as quiet but is the leader of his little gang of friends. Arnold's right hand man is a tall skinny black kid who goes by the name of Eugene....

...LOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE Looking Towards the Future LaTasha Boyd Ashford University: PSY 202 9/9/2014 LOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE Looking Towards the Future In this essay I will be discussing my personal, professional, and academic goals for my major field of study in my online environment. I will also discuss how I will apply the SMART goal process to each of my goals. I will create an accountability plan for meeting my goals and discuss how will overcome any obstacles. Lastly, I will predict my success in achieving my goals, my individual personality, and my major field of study. My SMART Goals At the age of thirty-four and two kids later I am looking over my future to see what I need and/or want to be doing with my life in the next six years. My personal goal is to be financially stable, although my kids will be in college themselves. I want to be able to help them with tuition, housing, food, and any other things they may need. I am going to complete my four years of college to obtain my accounting degree so that I can complete my personal goal. I have tried online schooling once before and I stopped going because I got a little discouraged. I think I was being a little selfish. I not only have myself to think about but two other people that I am responsible for. I try to lead by example when it comes to my kids. Completing my personal goal is one way that I can teach them. My professional goal is to have my own accounting/finance business within...

...I was sure I was on the rim of insanity, my little sister had come into my room and was not being quiet while I was working. Having a little sister is annoying, sometimes I wish I lived in a cave or a big cavern and had a family of spirits who I could see but no one else couldn't. But sadly that can't happen. I don't like were I live, it was in the middle of no where in Arizona so we have no neighbors and none of my friends ever come to my house. As I was silently thinking to my self I had thought, why not spook my little sis. So I went to my closet, grabbed a mask and waited for my little sister to come look for me. When she finally get near the closet door I leaped in her direction and screamed. As my little sister ran out of my room I was...

...“A Friendly Neighbour” by Adam Johnson, 2004 I never could stomach Walker and then one day he’s standing in my kitchen, in his underwear. Facing in the direction of my kids’ room! So I wonk him in the back of the head and down he goes. When he stands up, I wonk him again and down he goes. Then I roll him down the stairs into the early-spring muck and am like, If you ever again, I swear to God, I don’t even know what to say, you miserable fuck. Karen got home. I pulled her aside. Upshot was: Keep the doors locked, and if he’s home the kids stay inside. But after dinner I got to thinking: Guy comes in in his shorts and I’m sitting here taking this? This is love? Love for my kids? Because what if? What if we slip up? What if a kid gets out or he gets in? No, no, no, I was thinking, not acceptable. So I went over and said, Where is he? To which Lynn said, Upstairs, why? Up I went and he was standing at the mirror, still in his goddam underwear, only now he had on a shirt, and I wonked him again as he was turning. Down he went and tried to crab out of the room, but I put a foot on his back. If you ever, I said. If you ever again. Now we’re even, he said. I came in your house and you came in mine. Only I had pants on, I said, and mini-wonked him in the back of his head. I am what I am, he said. Well, that took the cake! Him admitting it! So I wonked him again, as Lynn came in, saying, Hey, Roger, hey. Roger being me. And then he rises up. Which killed me! Him rising up? Against...

With your dribble, it should form an imaginary sideways 8. 6. After doing this for a little while, go the opposite way. Instead of crossing frontwards between your legs, cross backwards between your legs. | | | Points of Emphasis Continually tell your players to... * At first, you may want to start this drill by looking at the ball. * As you improve, try to keep your head up. * Always use your fingertips. * Dribble as quickly as possible around your legs, while under control. * You should take 4 to 5 dribbles around each leg.

...and see exactly what I expected to see. My little brother full of joy and laughter, as he lay there sprawled out on the living room floor, hands wrapped firmly around his controller to his PlayStation 4. He lays there with soda cans and chip crumbs neatly scattered around him, while his little feet are flip flapping around with not a care in the world. This is nothing new to me. He has been like this ever since he was about eight years old. It has only got progressively worse over the years as he in now about to turn eighteen. I mean the poor kid nerds out and plays for so many hours on end that I worry his little finger tips are near the point of exhaustion and could fall off his hands at any given time. My main worry is that the instant gratification and joy that these video games give these kids is blurring out the reality of “We have to work to make a living”. He has successfully completed every Grand Theft Auto game ever made. Concurred every Call of Duty game with his friends and is happier than a clam in the sand. He is intelligent in the way that he could out smart any beginner on a game console. However I’m afraid if you asked him to change a dead light bulb, he would be stumped. Over the past 14 years video game have become more and more noxious to our youth in today’s society, resulting in social withdraw. Kids today are spending way too much time playing video games rather than seeking any form of productivity. My little brother will wait till the very last minute...

...Confess - "Their so cute together." "I wish I have a relationship like them." "Relationships goals." Rumors are spreading about two people. Death the Kid and (Y/N) (L/N). These rumors are annoying Kid to no end. One because they are not dating and two (Y/N) is now spending more time with Soul. Kid was following (Y/N), because he said that she a symmetrical goddess, and that he needs to follow her to block other people from taking her away from him. He does like (Y/N) not only because of her symmetry. She was different from other girls not a bitch or a two face. (Y/N) would blush if a person complements her. She would turn the opposite way to hide her blush and call them Baka or what not. Like a tsundere person would do. "Hey Kid, you...

...My first-time volunteering was little challenging for me. I had no experience working with children and I did not grow up around kids, so I was a little nervous to work with the kids. When I entered the room my first thought was these kids are loud. After talking to a few of the children and helping them do their homework, I started getting comfortable and all my judgments went away. I felt more comfortable approaching and talking to the current on my second day. One of the things I enjoy most about volunteering was the teaching the kids something that they never learned before. It makes me happy to see them understand something that I thought them. I also wanted to be a role model to them. Most of the children are black kids, and some have...

...I hate violent video games and they should be banned and never sold again. Violent video games should be banned because what if a little kid was playing on it and something inappropriate shows up on there that there parent’s wouldn’t want them to see. Do you want your kids doing inappropriate things? Some games have a lot of violence in it like fighting and swearing. If the kid’s watch that they will be threatening and acting like it’s cool to do it. Some kid’s will think stupidly to do it because there brains force them to and at the end they act like anything didn’t happen and think it’s funny, but they will always’ face consequences and there parent’s would find out someway and there kids will be in a lot of trouble. Would you like it if your kid went around and started to threaten others?” Elder children are not always responsible enough to grow up. Some would show little kid’s what they’ve learnt from a violent video game. I f they had a little bro or sis they would convince the kid to come over to his house to play a game that is totally violent and then they will get addicted to it and will be playing it till the cop’s are looking around for him/her because there parent’s are worried. Do you want your kid to get addicted to violent video games? When kids go to school they won’t want to learn because they are worrying to much about playing games after school. There thinking wouldn’t be as good as it was if they weren’t thinking about games. They wouldn’t even...

...protagonist and looked up to by kids that teach them bad values, morals, and what is normal behavior. With a merging of mature content and animation Family Guy shows us a prime example of bad role models. The main character Peter Griffin is a mindless, disrespectful, and shameful dad whose escapades get his family, himself and others into dangerous situations. Peter Griffin has no respect for authority and throughout the series writers of the show use his characters to trash other show and people with little respect for anyone. The bad examples continue into shows like Breaking Bad a television show watched by millions upon millions in which the main character Walter White is a science teacher with a small family who goes from suburban life to leading a life in the drug game after getting diagnosed with cancer. Walter White teaches bad morals to people and even if children don't watch it directly, the message has gotten in to pop culture so much so that children are being dressed up in Walter White halloween costumes. An example of a childrens show format merging into adult content is in the show Brickleberry created by a comedian who strategy is to shock by any way possible, he turns a lovable looking animate bear and cast of other harmless looking characters and insults to insult. This comedy sends the wrong message to kids about humor, comedy, and bullying. Children are likely to follow these examples or models because children are constantly looking for things or people to look...

...disablity or addication. Growing up in a small town with only my mum, dad, younger brother and two cats for company was hard. The thing that made it easier was looking after my mum. She has a physical disability and severe depression, meaning I had to help her around the house and looking after my younger brother, who has autism and Aspergures Syndrome, while dad was out at work. I know many of you will read this and go "Why is the kid doing the work? Surely there must be other family members around to help?". Well that's the problem, we lived in a different town...

The doors flew open and there was the Sheriff looking at them with a pissed look. "What are you kids up to this time of night, he asked." "Were doing research for a school project that's about the morgue, Jason replied." "Ok but if I find out you kids are still looking bodies then I'm telling your parents, he yelled." The six teens argued to his warning and ran out the door ASAP. "Fuck you too dumb ass, Jason and Nick yelled!" Thinking he heard them the teens ran down the street. After they left the morgue they walked 6 blocks before they reached Mother Dee’s house. When they arrived they noticed the house was spooky looking but the yard was planted with fresh roses. “Ok I’m confused as hell right now, Jessica added.” ‘You’ve always been confused so what’s the excuse this time, Jason asked?’’ “Who in the hell are you talking to nigga, she yelled?’’ “Guys this is no time for y’all arguing, damn get married and hush, Nick shouted!” “Eww there is no way I’m marrying a white bitch, Jason said.” “Fuck you, Jessica shouted back!”...

...was like my personal, life sized doll. As he grew and because active in sports and my mom had to go to school, sports, and work meetings, he became mine to take care of even more. Sitting at all of the games, cheering, yelling, helping I began to feel like a soccer mom. I loved every second of it. Taking care of him and helping my mom out as much as possible taught me a new appreciation of life. It also gave me many motherly instincts. Balancing a baby on one hip while I cook is a complete piece of cake. Taking care of him made me have to grow up and mature quicker than many other kids. I was already very mature for my age, but go and add taking care of a kid made it ten times worse. I found myself hanging around adults more than kids my own age. Looking back now I would not change one thing about it. I am able to see things from a high, more realistic view on life. Emmett was and still is a crazy kid. He makes sure you are on the edge of your seat at all times. I remember this one time where I went into the bathroom and he was there, butt naked, standing in the toilet. I was so furious at him. He was old enough to know better, but yet here he was in toilet water. I spanked his butt and threw him in the shower as quick as I could. Needless to say, he spent a few minutes in the time out chair after his shower. When our mom came back from a long needed night with friends, I had told her the news. She could not stop laughing. She had to have laughed for a good five minutes. By that...
