There are a vast variety of activities and food offered in the state of Florida that many individuals adore. I have also visited Arizona numerous times and nothing compares to what Florida has to offer.

Florida is superior to Arizona because of it beautiful landscape, mouth watering food, and the large variety of public attractions. Florida is superior to Arizona because of the state’s suburb landscape. Florida is known for having the most breathtaking beaches along the coast. For example, Florida is home to several beaches that are known to be the best in the country. Including Clearwater Beach, which has the reputation to be the best in America due to its crystal blue water and pearly white sand. Besides the beaches, Florida is also well known for the Everglades. This area of South Florida contains 1.5 acres of wetlands (*). The Everglades allows a person to experience different ecosystems such as Freshwater Sloughs, Mangroves, and Coastal Lowlands.

...Red Light cameras causes more accidents Since the red light camera law went into effect in 2010, rear-end accidents have doubled in parts of Florida (Elmore 2010). It was mainly to prevent automobiles accidents when drivers ran red lights, and was implemented at the behest of widow Mellissa Wandall who lost a family member when a stranger ran a red light. Former State Rep. Ron Reagan was the lead sponsor of the bill. The law gave Florida the power to install cameras in places where the most accident happen due to red light violations, but the Red-Light Camera Law should be put on hold until more research and studies are done because of economic and safety issues related to its use. Professor “Barbara Langland-Orban” professor and chair of Health Policy and Management at the University of South Florida, said that the red light camera does not work. (Langland-Orban 2008) The injury rate from red-light running crashes has dropped by a third in less than a decade, indicating red-light running crashes have been continually declining in Florida without the use of cameras.. ( Johnson 2008 ) Comprehensive studies conducted by the Virginia transportation Research Council found that cameras were linked to increase crash cost (Garber and Miller 2007). People panic when coming to an intersection with cameras and tend to jump on the brake without looking to the rear for fear of getting a citation on the mail. The state of Florida conducted a poll asking if the camera law should...

...The Community’s Effect on Education Of all the problems that society faces today, perhaps the worst is the declining quality of the education of our children. Education plays a major part in the life of a child: a quality education allows for a child to be exposed to more opportunities that can lead to a quality of living that, in a lot of cases, is much better than that of their parents. There are many ways to increase the quality of a child’s education; however, the best way is for the community, and society at large, to take an interest and become involved. According to Robert Putnam, a major issue facing society is the difficulty of creating “bridging social capital.” This is created when people of different groups and backgrounds come together to improve their community and is important for maintaining a healthy public life in a world that is becoming increasing more diverse. The difficulty arises from the problems that come out of trying to bridge the many groups that have little to no commonalities. I believe that the service learning that we are doing through the Burnett Honors College is addressing this issue by making bridging social capital. We, the college students, come from different backgrounds than the children we are sent to work with. We are bridging the gap by showing them through face-to-face interactions that they too can go to college. I think that the work we are doing is important because we are helping to improve the quality of these children’s...

...Negative Effects of Television Television is the most famous media communication in the world. Almost all people use television with many kinds of purposes such as entertainment. In addition, television brings a good side for children to gain various knowledge outside of school. However, some parents claim that television brings many negative effects toward their children. Based on my experience, I agree with that statement. First of all, television can make a big wall among family member relationships. For instance, when children are addicted to watching television, they will feel lazy to do anything such as eating, sleeping, etc. Even when one of the family members tries to make a conversation, they will answer back as simple as possible. Thus, this kind of attitude would cause a bad effect to relationships among family members. Secondly; now days, there are many action movies shown either via theaters or vie television. Even though it is much fun, but secretly, it makes a new shape of attitude for children. For example, if children often watching action movies, in the future, their responses for everything will be full of rude moves. Therefore, it is hard for children to make a good relationship around them. Lastly, every scene of movie might give a bad influence to children. For example, there is a movie which tells the audience about an alcoholic’s life. In that case, it is possible for children to drink alcohol at such a young age. In summary...

...Factors Influencing Students Academic Performance in Nigeria Socio-Economic Factors Influencing Students Academic Performance in Nigeria Some Explanation from a Local Survey Nigeria like any other developing nations has witnessed series of political instability, with obvious effects on educational policies at federal, state and local government levels. This gradually laid the foundation of fallen standard in education at the primary and secondary school levels, which caused differential academic performance of students. In the quest of finding survival feet, the nation has evolved series of socio-economic and educational measures but these have not improved the social-economic status of families in the country. It is within this milieu that this study examines socio-economic factors influencing students' academic performance in Nigeria, with some explanations from Ido Local Government Area of Oyo State. The time frame of the study covers the period of 2004 to 2007. A total of one hundred and twenty (120) copies of questionnaire were administered to respondents. The study revealed that insufficient parental income, family type and lack of funding by governments are factors influencing students' academic performance. Based on these findings, certain recommendations are made towards improving student academic performance. Prominent of these include proper funding of education by government, sensitization of parents towards their children education and the support of NGOs to eradicate...

...how as a young adult she pulled herself out of the unhealthy lifestyle of her parents, and managed to make something of herself. In The Glass Castle, Rex and Rosemary are not the ideal American parents, but they would be considered effective. They would be considered effective because they taught their children to stand up for themselves, independent, supportive and supportive and always there for each other. One of the effects that the Wall’s parents had on their children was teaching them to stand up for themselves. “The mattress shot forward, and our arsenal of rocks flew through the air. I heard them thud against Ernie’s body and clatter on the road. He screamed and cursed as his bike skidded” (166). When Brian and Jeannette go against the neighborhood bullies they show that they may not have money or what other families have but they are clever. They demonstrate their cleverness by creating their own catapult to stop Ernie Goad and his friends. To sum it all up, Jeannette and Brian learn to stand up for themselves by being a team. The second effect that the Wall’s parents had on their children was teaching them to become independent. “I was afraid that Mr. Becker wouldn’t give me the job if he knew I was only thirteen, so I told him I was seventeen. He hired me on the spot for forty dollars a week, in cash” (215). Jeannette took care of her family, of her dad when he was drunk, of her mom when was in need of help, and of her sisters and her brother when they felt like...

...Proposal : Content on Television for children In my opinion, television is not safe for children in our society today. The television industry claims that it is not their responsibility to monitor what is readily available to children but that it is the parents’ responsibility. The industry is just there to make money. They are like any other corporate business in America, they only produce what sells, and right now the market for adult themed shows is much higher than children’s programs. Adult cartoons are being produced at a rapid rate. However, parents say they cannot be held completely responsible for what their children are watching on television and their main responsibility is to provide for their family. Studies have shown that there is a link between the amount and context of what is being viewed and an earlier sex rate in teens, sleeping difficulties in children, and the family structure being destroyed. Is the television that we as adults find humorous harmful to our children? This is important issue for society because the children are our future. How they grow and learn will affect our world for generations to come. It is the responsibility of the community to learn how to educate and inform community members on how to raise children to the best of their ability. It is a compelling issue for me because I have always been interested in how children learn and how it affects society. Knowing that one day I might be a mother has made me want to learn everything...

...Reasons why students get jobs and its Effects on their Studies by Joyce Jaro Daiane Aprill Dimaano Terry faye Corral Prencissie Litana Adrian Hernandez Major: Marketing Management A thesis submitted to: Edna C. Aquino Ed. D. English II Professor Introduction Undergraduate students have their own reason why they want to work on different fields. Not thinking that working can affect their performance in school. This study provides a reason why students get jobs and its effect on their studies that is suitable for tertiary level. This study involved a survey across our Business Administration students major in Entrepreneurial, and their opinions. The aim in writing this paper is to investigate the effects of working while in schools’ outcomes. On the contrary, working may provide valuable work experience. NBC news states that “Eighty percent of students reported working while attending classes, typically about 19 hours a week.” An increase in the number of students who work to finance their studies is often mentioned as one of the possible causes of these frequent dropouts. Recently, Kalenkoski and Pabilonia (2009a) found that students who work more hours on a particular day spend less time on homework on the same day. This is important because there are economic studies that examine the relationship between the time college students spend on homework and their subsequent achievements. These are...
