personal life details without any caution. I believe teenagers should be discouraged from using Facebook because it is addicting and unsafe. And that I can say based on personal experience as a teen. The first reason why I believe Facebook is not safe is because of lack of privacy. After having Facebook for ten years, I have come to realize that it requires way too much personal information. For example, it asks for your relationship status, where have you lived, date of birth, a profile picture

fourteen attempts were made to go directly through the wall by driving into it. Three people even escaped using USSR uniforms that were made for them. Some people would go through sewage systems in order to get under the wall. One boy, that was only eighteen years old, was one of the first who tried to just go for it and climb the wall outright. The East Germans shot him and killed him while West Berliners heard the boy`s screams for help. These people who were restrained from freedom in the east would

Diane Uonites Cultural Diversity in the Classroom March 13, 2016 Sean Diana Part One: Collage: Personal Cultural Identity My ancestors came from Germany, Sweden, and Norway. My ancestor’s journey was by ship and landed in Ellis Island. What I value about my culture is my family and how important they are. I also value how we depend on one another to get through the day. Sisters, brothers, nieces and nephew, son and daughters. To be an American is to have the freedom to do what I want

Population Growth and Ecological Footprints The population size (N) of a species at any point in time (t) is determined by its size at (t-1), its per capita birth rate (b), its per capita death rate (d), and immigration and emigration. Each of these values is, in turn, affected by a huge suite of biotic and abiotic conditions. Human populations are governed by these same variables. In this laboratory, you will use models of population growth to understand how population growth

comfort zones and try something new. During the May of 7th grade my family made the decision that we would be moving all the way across the country to Oregon. This seemed crazy. I had lived in Bedford, New York for as long as I could remember. I had good friends, a good school, and a pretty good life. There really wasn't any reason to leave. The day I told my friends I would be moving, they were both upset and completely surprised. All of them had no idea why I would leave. Neither did I. We tried to

Sweet yet sour, at once funny ha-ha and funny-peculiar—and also funny-relevant, if that were a thing—“30 Rock” is quotable to a nearly psychotic degree. I’ll miss it like a stalker misses her stalkee. I could take pretty much any angle in looking back on “30 Rock,” but I’ll take the one that I am currently experiencing: looking straight at the Empire State Building. When the sitcom débuted, it was based on Fey’s experience as the first female head writer for “Saturday Night Live,” but it quickly became

and pharmacologist Charles C. Guthrie grafted the head of a small mixed-breed dog onto the neck of a larger one whose own head remained intact. Similarly, in the 1950s Russian scientist Vladimir P. Demikhov transplanted the upper body of a mixed breed puppy including the forelimbs to the neck of a much larger dog by connecting the pup to the other dog's neck blood vessels. At least one of Demikhov's experiments reportedly survived as long as 29 days after the surgery. Robert J. White

African woman bare breasted and comfortable with themselves. To me it has always been shameful for any women to be bare breasted because that was what I was raised to believe; that is the way of our culture. The magazine took me to many lands and showed me things I knew nothing about. This was when I became aware of the world around me. I realized I wanted to be a part of more than the town I lived in, the school I went to, or the people I knew. Through the eyes of documentary photographers I have

to San Francisco, CA and it is one of the most diverse cities in America. Not only are there so many different races, there are a bunch of different lifestyles that people live out here. For example; you have your surfer dudes, hippies, gays/lesbians/transgender, and you typical straight person. I can learn something from all of these different types of people. I can’t say that I have learned anything new about my own culture and history, as I am pretty up to date with what’s going on

She sat in the passenger seat of his car twirling a long strand of hair around her finger. She’d have thought it impossible to be any more nervous than she'd been sitting across from him in his office a few short minutes ago. Trying to get through the interview while eating, she thought could spell disaster. She’d be lucky to get anything down without choking. He pulled up to Seabreeze in Presidio Heights. She hadn’t known what to imagine, but she knew they would have looked out of place pulling
