...effect from just that one immediate family member suffering from addiction. Families of drug and alcohol abusers tend to pay a huge emotional and mental toll. Many studies have been done on random families with a known immediate family member such as a mother, father, brother, sister, son, daughter, and spouse to see the exact emotional toll it does on the families. Most of the respondents to these surveys and interviews say their family member’s addiction has had a major effect on their own mental and emotional health (Saad). In the surveys and interviews done here in the United States about seventy percent of people said their emotional and mental state was affected by having a close family member addicted to alcohol or drugs (Saad). Another major issue that has been seen while analyzing data that was collected was the spouse of the abuser is who suffers the most out of all the immediate family with a shocking fifty one percent of negative effects (Saad). Some of the negative effects include financial situations being affected because the abuser is not attending their job on regular bases or even losing it.

It is one of the many sports that clearly identify our Australian culture with the influence from media advertisements in local newspapers to television, Foxtel, radio and internet, “it is part of the social and cultural fabric of different localities, regions and nations” (Jarvie, 2006).

...1- I think the employers should explain the reasons for the dismissal to the employee. 2- I believe the employers should pre-warn the employee and give him the correct notice period. This is an example of fair dismissal, in which the employee has done repeated negligence. In this case, Sandra failed to meet important deadlines, reported for duty late, and stole confidential documents from the manager’s desk. Sandra had been warned by her employer many times. If she made an effort to improve her performance or change her behavior, then she would not be dismissed. If Sandra decided to appeal her dismissal to an employment tribunal, I believe the tribunal might ask her to pay legal costs. This is an example of a wrongful dismissal, in which...

...Ronald Reagan an Overrated President Tami Arreguin HIS/145 July 15, 2013 Nancy Fraleigh Ronald Reagan an Overrated President Ronald Reagan, the nation's 40th president, only recently became one of the most revered men in history. Reagan's ratings were higher than the averages of his three immediate predecessors Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, and Richard Nixon (Newport, Jones, & Saad, 2004) . How and why would so many Americans too soon forget all of the dishonesty and broken promises that came out of the White House while Reagan was in office? It is clear that many factors came into play that goes to show that Ronald Reagan is highly overrated as not only the president, but also an individual. One of the first situations that occurred, as Reagan was sworn in, was the release of the 51 hostages from the American Embassy in Tehran. It seemed that the projected win of the future President Reagan triggered some fear in the Iranians. However, there were a few incidences that occurred, prior to the inauguration of Reagan, that actually set the stage for the emanate release of the hostages. (United States History, n.d.) In July, near the last leg of the presidential race, The Shah of Iran died. The return of the Shah, being one of the many requests in negotiations with the Iranian’s, was now neutralized. This brought the negotiations one step closer to closure (United States History, n.d.). Also, shortly after the death of the Shah, Iraq invaded Iran which created...
