...Gum being allowed at school is something that has gone both ways,it is a topic that has pros and cons going for each of them,gum should be allowed at school since it has many pluses and advantages to be part of the classroom environment.Gum provides things that will allow a student to perform better in class,without gum like how it is now students are getting the lower of themselves and not being at their full potential. Some main reasons on why gum should be allowed is that it helps your memory and other characteristics of the brain.Gum triggers your body to remember things,according to chicago tribune "It helps because it increases blood flow to the brain, and that's because you're using your jaw," he said. Gum keeps the brain going full paced and is also a great way to resolve didtraction.It does this by being the thing the takes the students...

...Chapter 4 1. In the U.S. chewing gum is more acceptable because we have a less strict culture and our ethical values are more diverse than Singapore. It is unacceptable to chew gum in Singapore because it was made illegal and their values and culture are much stricter than the United States. 2. The reason that it is acceptable to chew come on the street is because in the United States it is legal and socially acceptable. The reason it is not and should be not allowed in church is because, much like it is in school, it is distracting and disrespectful to the people around you because it is so loud and rude. No person wants to be sitting in church or a classroom for an hour and have to hear bubbles popping the entire time. 3. You can use ethical principles when it comes to chewing gum just like you decide when it is appropriate to do other things. If you’re walking on the street or just ate something and notice that you have bad breath, you have the right to chew a piece of gum to fix this dilemma. You make the choice to chew the gum, so by doing this you also take responsibility of disposing it properly. If your chewing gum you should not just spit it on the floor for others to step in it, or in class you shouldn’t chew and pop loud bubbles, you should be courteous to the people around you. We think it would be a little extreme if our culture decided to ban chewing gum, since it has so many positive uses. Even if they tried to ban chewing gum we believe it would be a waste...

Given the large population (four times that of the US1) and the comparatively low consumption numbers (10-15 servings per person annually versus 90-100), growth in China showed the greatest potential for further success. Wrigley gave their Chinese consumers a reason to chew by recognising cultural facets (traditional Chinese flavours and medicines) and trends in health benefits (obesity and oral health), and then innovatively developed product lines in ways which would appeal to a wide variety of segments. Going forward from 2008, the decision to join forces with Mars, further reiterated the importance Wrigley’s placed on product innovation and the potential that Mars global president Paul Michaels must have recognised. He stated that both Mars and Wrigley’s share a commitment to innovation and would continue on the path of growth by jointly developing these values even further. Wrigley’s commitment to innovation was further exemplified by their decision to invest in a Global Innovation Centre which...

...Gadberry Mrs.Kopietz 18 august 2010 *ABOUT ME* As long as I’ve thought about having a future job I knew I wanted to be a psychologist. I think some school activities might have lessons for being a psychologist but I’m not very interested. The only activities I like are mine which are considered to me are hobbies. I have many interests that make me happy and these are just a few, and I am happy to say I know I am going to have a wonderful living. But this is just my future career, my current school activities, and hobbies of my life. I really would love becoming a psychologist. Mostly I would like to have seccions with more children than adults. Also I am a person with personal experience. so I know what they have went through, and wouldn’t have a hard time understanding what point of view they have or where they come from when they try to talk to me. And I would be more than happy to give advice if they are having any trouble with things at home and anywhere else or anyone else. I actually am not very interested in any school activities. I’d rather stay more focused on school work. In plus if I do any activities I might end up forgetting about homework. And sometimes I don’t do very well on assignments. So I could just stay after school getting help with any work that needs to get done, instead of school activities. Or I could just spend my free time on the very many hobbies I enjoy doing. What I really enjoy are my hobbies. I like to go shopping, talk on...

...The Google Company Natasha Jamison MGT/230 January 30, 2014 George Taylor Ethics in Management When thinking of ethics, one tends to think of rules for right or wrong. Ethics is the norm for conduct that distinguishes between acceptable and unacceptable behavior. People learn ethical norms from church, school, home, and social gatherings. People learn the difference between right and wrong in early childhood, but learn morality throughout their entire life. Ethics is more than common sense. If it were only common sense, then one wouldn’t have ethical dilemmas like the one with Enron. During childhood, one is taught the differences between right/wrong and good/bad while at home. Children are taught in school and at home to do the right thing, because it’s the right thing to do and to avoid doing wrong things, because they are wrong. This form of ethics is called Deontological Ethics (duty-based). Under Duty-based ethics, actions are justified by showing a good outcome. It teaches that right or wrong depends on the actions of the individual and people have an obligation to act accordingly regardless of the outcome. For example, telling lies and killing people is wrong. Under duty-based ethics, one must do the right thing, even if it causes harm than doing the wrong thing. Duty-based ethics puts emphasis on the value of human being and focus on giving the same amount of respect to each one. It forces due regard to be given to the interest of a person even when at odds are against...

...Let’s follow the path of a delicious ham and cheese sandwich with lettuce and pickles as it is eaten and digested! Start at the beginning and discuss the anatomical parts as well as the biochemical roles that contribute to this sandwich being turned into chemical energy. Be sure to include mechanical and chemical mechanisms, along with how they are metabolized in the body! Digestion is the chemical breakdown of food molecules into smaller molecules that can be used by various cells within the body. The breakdown is initiated when food is ingested in the mouth and specific enzymes are exposed to components within the food molecules. Digestion begins in the mouth with mastication, or chewing, performed by the teeth. The purpose of chewing is to grant the food more exposure to enzymes, therefore allowing chemical digestion to occur faster. The presence of the food in the mouth stimulates exocrine glands. This causes the mouth to secrete digestive enzymes, namely salivary amylase. These secreted enzymes aid in the breakdown of foods, officially starting the digestion process. Carbohydrates in particular are mostly broken down by salivary amylase. Salivary amylase breaks starch, a popular carb, down to maltose. This means that the bread of the ham and cheese sandwich will notably be chemically altered at this point. It is because of this that bread begins to taste somewhat sweet if it is held in the mouth for some time. Muncins, or mucous, found within saliva help hold the food...

...7 TIPS FOR A FLAT STOMACH TIP #1: EAT! DON’T STARVE Any diet plan that expects you to ignore your feelings of hunger will never work for long. Appetite is a critical survival mechanism regulated by your brain and digestive system. It is your body’s way of letting you know you need fuel for energy. When you go on extremely low calorie diets, such as the grapefruit diet or cabbage soup diet, or try one of those celebrity-endorsed portion-control diet plans with expensive prepared meals, you trigger a metabolic reaction that ends up making you fatter once you go back to normal eating habits. Here’s why… When you reduce your daily caloric intake below the level needed for daily energy for even a short period of time, you will lose weight. BUT your metabolism will respond as if you are starving and start storing fat very efficiently. Now you can’t stay on a starvation diet for very long. Eventually you return to normal eating habits – perhaps even eating less than you did before. But your metabolism is still storing fat at the starvation level. Not only will you quickly gain back what you lost, you will almost certainly pack on even more pounds than when you started. Remember – hunger is not your enemy. You should eat when you’re hungry. It’s just a question of how you satisfy your hunger. If you are overweight, it is probably not because you eat too much. It’s really all about the kind of foods you eat. Stop starving and stop counting calories! Simply stick with low...

... These superstitions could have been formed since these incidents might have happened once or twice by luck!!! There are many articles written in The Hindu against superstitious beliefs. Global Perspective Superstitions are quite popular in other countries as well. Many people have also given away their lives due to crazy superstitions. Let us see few crazy superstitions around the world. In Brazil its is inauspicious to allow you purse fall on the floor. They think it will result in the person losing all of his money. In Egypt is considered to be dangerous to use a scissor without cutting anything. In Lithuania whistling inside your house is forbidden as people think it may summon the evil spirits. In Turkey it is bad to chew gum in the dark as people believe it becomes the flesh of dead ancestors. You could now see the different beliefs of different countries in various parts of the world.In most of these cases it would not even have any sense. When we distinguish between science and superstition, we must be careful because the science of era may be the superstition of another. For example,astrology was once viewed as means of obtaining knowledge but is now regarded by astronomy as superstition. Humans have always expressed a need to understand natural phenomenon and to answer questions regarding their way of life and what happens once they die. These needs resulted in the development of a variety of religions and philosophies that can be found throughout the...

...Morality (from the Latin moralitas "manner, character, proper behavior") is the differentiation of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are distinguished as proper and those that are improper.[1] Morality can be a body of standards or principles derived from acode of conduct from a particular philosophy, religion, or culture, or it can derive from a standard that a person believes should be universal.[2] Morality may also be specifically synonymous with "goodness" or "rightness." Moral philosophy includes moral ontology, or the origin of morals, as well as moral epistemology, or knowledge about morals. Different systems of expressing morality have been proposed, including deontological ethical systems which adhere to a set of established rules, and normative ethical systems which consider the merits of actions themselves. An example of normative ethical philosophy is the Golden Rule, which states that: "One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself."[3] Immorality is the active opposition to morality (i.e. opposition to that which is good or right), while amorality is variously defined as an unawareness of, indifference toward, or disbelief in any set of moral standards or principles. An initial naïve attempt at a descriptive definition of “morality” might take it to refer to the most important code of conduct put forward by a society and accepted by the members of that society. But the existence of large and heterogeneous societies raises...

...None of the much flaunted appeals of cigarette advertisers, such as superior taste and mildness, induces us to become smokers or to choose one brand in preference to another. Despite the emphasis put on such qualities by advertisers, they are minor considerations. This is one of the first facts we discovered when we asked several hundred people, from all walks of life, why they liked to smoke cigarettes. Smoking is as much a psychological pleasure as it is a physiological satisfaction. As one of our respondents explained: "It is not the taste that counts. It's that sense of satisfaction you get from a cigarette that you can't get from anything else." Smoking is Fun What is the nature of this psychological pleasure? It can be traced to the universal desire for self-expression. None of us ever completely outgrows his childhood. We are constantly hunting for the carefree enjoyment we knew as children. As we grew older, we had to subordinate our pleasures to work and to the necessity for unceasing effort. Smoking, for many of us, then, became a substitute for our early habit of following the whims of the moment; it becomes a legitimate excuse for interrupting work and snatching a moment of pleasure. "You sometimes get tired of working intensely," said an accountant whom we interviewed, "and if you sit back for the length of a cigarette, you feel much fresher afterwards. It's a peculiar thing, but I wouldn't think of just sitting back without a cigarette. I guess a cigarette...

...alzheimers.org.uk Eating and drinking People with dementia often experience various problems with eating and drinking. Eating a healthy, balanced diet is important. It can help maintain physical and mental wellbeing. This factsheet looks at the importance of a healthy diet and the difficulties a person with dementia may have with eating and drinking. It will also look at some practical ways to help a person with dementia eat and drink well. The importance of eating and drinking Eating and drinking well is important to stay healthy. A healthy and varied diet is likely to improve a person’s quality of life. Not eating enough can lead to weight loss and other problems including vulnerability to infection, reduced muscle strength and fatigue. People with dementia may become dehydrated if they are unable to communicate or recognise that they are thirsty, or if they forget to drink. This can lead to headaches, increased confusion, urinary tract infection and constipation. These can worsen the symptoms of dementia. While a healthy, balanced diet is important, in late-stage dementia the priority should be making sure the person with dementia takes on nutrition, and a higher-calorie diet may be appropriate. A dietitian can advise on what is best in a particular situation. 1 Weight loss Weight loss is common in people with dementia, although the causes vary. They may include lack of appetite, difficulties cooking, problems with communicating or recognising hunger, poor co-ordination...
