Helper believes that the reason the Souths economy was bad, was because slavery had enslaved the South. He talks about how the South is very dependent and gets almost everything from the North. “We want Bibles, brooms, buckets, and books, and we go to the North; … we want toys, primers, school books, fashionable apparel, machinery, medicines, tombstones, and a thousand other things, and we go to the North for them all.” (For the Record, 417) Then, Helper gets to the point and explains that the reason for their poverty and bad economy, was because of slavery. The people of the South depended on slave labor, which is why they were not doing so well economy wise. If it wasn’t for slavery in the South, they would be “patronizing their own mechanics, manufacturers, and laborers” (For the Record, 418) instead of sending everything to the North. Another one of Helper’s arguments is that, the non-slaveholders believe anything the slaveholders tell them. That is why Helper believes the “South, woefully inert and inventionless, has lagged behind the North, and is now weltering in the cesspool of ignorance and degradation.” (For the Record, 419)

Both letter to the editor and editorial staff offer position that are supported by both facts and opinions. The letter explores to urges the new reusable bag ordinance while the editorial staff argues that they are serious about making Proposition 328 mandatory in every store. While both side make an acceptable case, it is clear that the letter provides a better argument.

An individual with “Free Will” is capable of making vital decisions and choices in life with own free consent. The individual chooses these decisions without any outside influence from a set of “alternative possibilities.” The idea of “free will” imposes a certain kind of power on an individual to make decisions of which he or she is morally responsible. This implies that “free will” would include a range of aspects such as originality, moral value, and self-governance. However, in life, individuals may not be free in making decisions. The aspect of freedom could entail remarkably a high status action and achievement in an individual’s life whose attainment could be close to impossibility. Often, people make

For example, when faced with religion, he states “[I] need proof before I could believe that I could not commit myself to do something” (Wright 116). His refusal to believe in anything that has followed him since birth is a great indicator that he is independent towards his life decisions. He is in full control over his thinking, and does not depend on another’s authority, showing he is self-governing. Another example which proves he is an independent person would be when he says, “In the past I had taken punishment that was not mine to protect the solidarity of gang” (Wright 108).

At the age of eighty, many changes physically and mentally have occurred as a result of the aging process and individualized lifestyle choices. Those changes as described fully in our discussions boards can range from the nervous system to the musculoskeletal system. Luckily, with every change, there is a nursing assessment and intervention, supported by evidence-based practice, multiple sections in the gerontological book, and in personal experiences. On the other hand, I completely agree that the OMFAQ assessment tool can really paint a picture of the patient’s condition. Furthermore, communication with the older adults can be difficult as they pose vision and hearing impairments; however, as you stated, talking to them in a slow pace and

Being able to communicate is an important factor when trying to come to a conclusion whether or not it is a person. According to Warren, the fourth criteria is reason. Being able to reason means that you have the capacity to solve complex and new problems. The fifth thing that is needed

* Decisive thinker – I am able to provide reliable solutions to problems and am able to make informed decisions based on facts available at the time.

Autonomy is the greatest right that any one person has. Adults are mature and intelligent enough to choose what they believe to be the best decisions to help them flourish in life. Children, however, are not developed enough to make that decision for themselves. This is why children are dependent upon their parents until they are old enough to make those kinds of decisions for themselves. It is also why parents have a right to raise their child how they see fit since they should have the child’s best interest in mind and have the ability to make those decisions. In the essay “The Child’s Right to an Open Future,” Claudia Mills provides a rebuttal to Joel Feinberg’s essay on “The Child’s Right to an Open Future.” She believes “that it is

There are five key features that characterize emerging adulthood. The first s identity exploration. The second is “Instability.” For many the instability is a result of residential changes such as living in a dorm. There is also instability in friendships, romantic relationships, academia, and work. Emerging adults have few obligations, responsibilities, and commitments. Because they have so much autonomy in controlling their own lives the third key feature is “Self-Focused.” One of the most difficult

Independence to me is a big part of being an adult. Self-reliance to me is necessary in order for responsibility and independence. Understanding that you and only you hold the key to your future and where you want to be is a big part of independence. There is no need for an adult to rely on another or others for aid or support. Self-reliance is the key
