...Why is it important to vote? voting is more important than the bullet. I think that is a really strong quote and i really like it because it has a sequences like jail or they could take you to court . That is why it is important to vote be cause we have a right to. “The ballot is stronger than the bullet.”-Abraham Lincoln. This quote means One of the reasons not to vote is some presidents are for bad stuff. One president was voting for abortion. And other bad stuff like really really bad stuff. But I personally like voting. Well kinda. Sometimes. The reason you should is because it is a honer. Some people don’t take it as a honer.

...2: Why gun ownership should be held more strictly: I, Omar Farah, certify that I have personally completed this assignment based on my own personal efforts. I understand if I use outside sources, I must properly give my source(s) credit using the APA format and my paper should not include more than 20% of direct quotes from other sources. I understand if I do not provide proper credit to outside sources, I will be documented for plagiarism and be required to resubmit a new assignment. I will not divulge the content of this assignment or any of my work, generally or specifically, to any current or future James Madison High School students. 1/4/2015 I chose the topic “Why gun ownership should be held more strictly” because most of our daily news flashes say at least someone was shot and killed or shot and injured. I don’t like this; it is senseless and very sad. We are losing people every day, because someone is using their gun recklessly or leaving it where someone else has access or easily found. I don’t get why people kill people it is just inhumane and against our morals. Guns have very high danger to our country as well as other countries. That is why I pick or chose to write about this topic for my persuasive essay because that is what I see in guns and want people to see it too. I have one question to my reader; do you think guns should be under a stricter law? Honestly, I believe that we should have more stringent gun laws that tell people; that they can’t have a gun...

...balance sheet. August 17, 2010, the FASB issued Proposed Accounting Standards Update – Leases (Topic 840). Because leasing is an important source of finance, the board issued an Exposure Draft (ED) to ensure that this development would be with a complete and understandable picture of an entity’s leasing activities. Following are my opinions about some important questions regarding Proposed Accounting Standards Update – Leases (Topic 840). 1a. Do you agree that a lessee should recognize a right-of-use asset and a liability to make lease payments? Why or why not? If not, what alternative model would you propose and why? I agree that a lessee should recognize a right-of-use asset and a liability to make lease payments. The right-of use concept is an accounting treatment that places assets and liabilities from a leasing contract on the balance sheet of lessees. This treatment would reflect in the financial statement that leased assets and liabilities would be placed on the balance sheet. It would also suitable to most leases agreement. 1b. Do you agree that a lessee should recognize amortization of the right-of-use asset and interest on the liability to make lease payments? Why or why not? If not, what alternative model would you propose and why? I agree that a lessee should recognize amortization of the right-of-use asset and interest on the liability to make lease payments. Once the right-of-use asset and liability concept applied, a lessee would...

...* Why has Ashbe found it difficult to pickpocket without being caught? (1961) Ashbe says, “It’s a very hard art to master, why, every time I’ve done it I’ve been caught.” This quote leads me to believe that this is a statement of personal opinion, this would not work on Project #2. * How does John Polk characterize fraternity life? (1962) John Polk comments, "Yeah, lots of parties, booze, honking horns, It's exactly what you would expect." He characterizes his fraternity as a stereotypical group of college men who drink a substantial amount of alcohol and party with women. The overall idea is a vague generality. The way john Polk talks about his fraternity describes the way his fraternity is, but not all those in fraternities drink or write papers, it is all based off of choices made by an individual. This wouldn't very well work for project #2. * What does John Polk say he likes in his sex life? (1962) “Yeah, I like to give myself a treat”, is the response John Polk gave to Ashbe, after she mentions seeing John with a “red card”, hinting at the fact that there was a whore house close by, and she wanted to know how often he went there. This is a matter of John Polk’s sexual preference, not an arguable claim, this would not work for Project #2. * Why doesn’t John Polk think it’s right not to leave a tip? (1963) Even though Polk, after feeling guilty, offered Hilda a quarter, his excuse for not tipping was, “I figured drinks were expensive, I just didn’t”...

Another thing was that over 11 million was suppose to be invested and it never was. I believe that this was the start of the problems! Another thing was the fact that Enron was incorrectly booking revenue for services that was not yet done. Enron stocks were paid by promissory notes and not cash. 3.

...psychological disorder that is characterized by people who delay a task or things that have to be done. People who exhibit symptoms like this are called procrastinators. In fact, according to one study, “80% to 95% of college students engage in procrastination, approximately 75% consider themselves procrastinators, and almost 50% procrastinate consistently and problematically” (Steel 65). Procrastination happens a lot in college students, and the amount of students who become consistent procrastinators are about half of the total of students. According to Statistic Brain Research Institute, there are 17,487,475 enrolled students in the United States (“College Enrollment Statistics”). It means, there are 8,743,738 students who become consistent procrastinators during this year. Although most of people think that procrastination seems to be unimportant, it can have a bad effect if the students procrastinate frequently. Procrastination is caused by procrastinators’ feelings that dominate the control and task characteristic. However, time management, understanding time, and rewarding themselves can solve the procrastination. Procrastination can be considered a common phenomenon in our life. Everyone procrastinates sometimes during their life, but not everyone is a consistent procrastinator. Procrastinators are the people who only think about the present, ignoring the lessons from the past. They do not think about their future, care more about themselves, and maximize the ease and pleasure...

...Popular Interview Questions 1) "Tell me about yourself?" This is not an invitation to ramble on. If the context isn't clear, you need to know more about the question before giving an answer. In such a situation, you could ask, "Is there a particular aspect of my background that you would like more information on?" This will enable the interviewer to help you find the appropriate focus and avoid discussing irrelevancies. Whichever direction your answer ultimately takes, be sure that it has some relevance to the world of your professional endeavours. The tale you tell should demonstrate, or refer to, one or more of your key behavioural profiles in action--perhaps honesty, integrity, being a team player, or determination. If you choose "team player" (maybe you're the star player on your team tennis group), you can tell a story about yourself outside of work that also speaks volumes about you at work. In part, your answer should make the connection between the two, such as, "I put my heart into everything I do, whether it be sports or work. I find that getting along with teammates--or professional peers--makes life more enjoyable and productive." Or you might describe yourself as someone who is able to communicate with a variety of people, so give an example from your personal life that indicates an ability to communicate also at work. This isn't a question that you can answer effectively off the cuff. Take some time in advance to think about yourself, and those aspects...

...several others who are affect by it at well. Racial profiling plays a part in todays society and it affect everybody as a whole. People tend to respond to it without thinking it through and this creates a problem. Some believe they are born racist why others are taught it. How can us as a whole rise above the trials and tribulations that racial profiling has to offer. Do we dare to be different or do we ignore the problem? There are several ways we can think outside the box and help with this problem one individual at a time. Racism plays a big part in today’s society, however racial profiling is not always the case when it comes down to where the problem lies. Racial profiling is a problem because people feel like they are being targeted at times that they are really not, which in return put people on the defensive. People tend to automatically think that it is a race issue when in fact at times it is not. Being able to identify and separate the two are hard for some who are set in their ways and want to believe that everything that happens to them has to deal with race. People tend to live by what they were taught. If a person was raced up with racial slurs and racial profiling they tend to believe that. In fact some goes as far to say, “I...

...Rights? We all have them, don’t we? That is the question I had to ask myself repeatedly while reading about this controversial issue. How far can or should you take the issue when dealing with cultural traditions? Over the past 3 weeks, I have done a lot of research on this topic and have found many things that I did not know. At first, when I read the two articles, honestly, I was more grossed out than anything. I did not really care; I just thought how weird it was going to be to try to write a paper on this topic. The main thing that ran through my mind was, “Why do people even care, men get circumcised every day.” However, after doing research and learning more, I decided it was so much more than that. Marrilee H. Salmon, a professor of science, states in her article how unmoral and degrading the process of female circumcision is. I strongly agree with her opinion and the opinion of many other feminist anthropologists, who are desperately trying to help eliminate this procedure. Salmon also goes on to tell how female circumcision is an act of power more than anything, giving men power and/or authority over women. And it truly is, I mean how is this beneficial to women at all? Every one is entitled to their own opinion and mine is expressed exactly in Marrilee’s article when she says, “it’s also called genital mutilation!” That is exactly what this is, “MUTILATION,” and I definitely agree with putting a stop to it. I also feel that anthropologists have a responsibility...

...Chapter 1. This is what I heard. At one time the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, near the city of Sravasti. With him there was a community of 1,250 venerable monks and devoted disciples. One day before dawn, the Buddha clothed himself, and along with his disciples took up his alms bowl and entered the city to beg for food door to door, as was his custom. After he had returned and eaten, he put away his bowl and cloak, bathed his feet, and then sat with his legs crossed and body upright upon the seat arranged for him. He began mindfully fixing his attention in front of himself, while many monks approached the Buddha, and showing great reverence, seated themselves around him. Chapter 2. After a time a most venerable monk named Subhuti, who was sitting in the congregation, rose from his seat. He uncovered his right shoulder, placed his right knee on the ground, and as he joined his palms together he respectfully bowed and then addressed the Buddha: "Most Honored One, It is truly majestic how much knowledge and wisdom your monks and disciples have been given through your most inspired teachings! It is remarkable that you look after our welfare so selflessly and so completely." "Most Honored One, I have a question to ask you. If sons and daughters of good families want to develop the highest, most fulfilled and awakened mind, if they wish to attain the Highest Perfect Wisdom, what should they do to help quiet their drifting minds and help subdue...

...Should we permit Euthanasia [pic] Sleeping Angel on a Bed of Clouds A doctor’s function has changed over time. In the past, the doctor was a person who besides being your friend treated the diseases. Now a doctor is a stranger who combats diseases, but he/she is not always your friend. What will never change is their constant struggle against death. However, their job is not only to prevent death but also to improve their patient’s quality of life. Many times there is nothing a doctor can do to prevent a patient from dying if the patient has a terminal disease; all he/she can do is wait for death to arrive. This waiting time can be very painful for both the patients and the people who surround them. Not practicing euthanasia at the request of the dying person is violating a person’s rights, creating an economic burden, interfering with a doctor’s job, and increasing suffering. First of all, deciding if you want to be alive or not is a personal decision. Neither the doctors nor the government has the power to decide if you should live or not. Since it is not their life and they are not in your situation, they cannot make that kind of decision for you. It might sound like suicide, but again, that is our problem, not theirs. They give us the liberty to decide our job, our family, our religion, and even our sex preference. Why should they not give us the right to decide if we want to live or not? That should be the first right before all the ones I have mentioned. It is not logical...
