I have witnessed traumatizing events, dying men, being shot, and I went behind enemy lines 11 separate times, all for my beloved country, yet I’m branded AWOL and equated to a coward! I served the Union Army valiantly and gave it my all for 4 entire years. My hard work and dedication were immense, I took on various jobs throughout the four years. Furthermore, I served as a nurse to aid all the wounded, I was a skilled courier and a spy. I love my country for giving me refuge when times were tough, thus, I was willing to give the ultimate sacrifice to preserve it. Countless times, I was nearly killed, but I did not care because I yearned for danger and a way to contribute during the war. I, Franklin Thompson, believe I should be reinstated

I agree with Reid, revamping America’s health care system would be far too complicated. I liked how Reid connected the ideas of a health care reform to many of the presidents of the past including Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Ironically enough, Clinton’s reform didn’t even make it to congress and he was also impeached during his presidency. Is that a coincidence? I do support Obama’s ideas toward building on to the model of health care that we already have, instead of constructing a new one. While Obama’s thoughts were compiled into the Obama Care bill, Reid made it clear that people in America are still uninsured. To me, Obama started what could have been a really good option for health care within the U.S., however, that is now

Recent examinations of media users indicate the existence of several types of SNS users that each exhibit coherent patterns of platform-specific behaviours (Brandtzæg 2010; Heim & Brandtzæg 2011; Hermann et al. 2007). Different types of users may also respond differently to messages and interventions (Elliott & Polyakova 2014). Such typologies allow researchers to organise users’ behaviours or attitudes into broader categories of user types to help explain complex social phenomena in a more analytically nuanced fashion (Johnson & Kulpa 2007). This approach helps to overcome minute individual differences between research subjects to examine overall patterns and similarities between people in the broader population.

The community of a business dictates who will go there. While researching how to reach the customers of a business, that business must know who their customers are. This includes, but is not limited to: where they live, how they spend their money, their age, gender, and race. Knowing these things about the customers will help in deciding what the best course of action is for making marketing decisions in a business

To function in the grey is something not many people get to do when they go to work. For 4 groups of people, dispatchers, law enforcement, fire and Emergency Medical Service (EMS), personnel, that’s the world they live in. Yes there are laws, regulations, and protocols, that govern the average person but at the end of the day, there is not anything to cover every situation that can be found in the field. There are so many moving parts in the real world it’s like living in Circ du Soleil. Ring masters, dispatch, gathering resources and information, controlling teams from across the district, to keep everyone involved and informed. The tigers, Fire, jumping though the rings of fire with the hopes of not getting burned, with risk increasing

It’s easy to forget that you’re just outside the one of the largest cities in North Carolina as you drive down the roads of western Wake county. The country roads that lead into the communities of Morrisville, Cary, Apex, Holly Springs and Fuquay-Varina are lined with pine forests, horse farms picket fences, fields of tobacco and soybeans.

Originaly from Damascus, the capital of Syria, Ousseni, few years before the begining of the war, was graduated in law, at Wadi International University.

Circumstance found myself out on a rural bridge watching the shadows grow longer as I photographed each passing VIA train one summer evening when I felt my cell phone vibrate. I took a look and it was a heads up that CN 149 was heading westbound through Aldershot and would soon head onto the Dundas Subdivision but was some 35 miles east of me at the time. I questioned if it would make it to me before sundown, but figured what the heck, I am here anyways, and I have nothing to lose, but possibly everything to gain.

Sixteen years, Kalyssa had waited for her family to come claim her. The tiny flicker of hope, the little girl inside of her tried desperately to shield, had flared to life at the time of reading her stepmother’s invitation. Later, however, it turned out they needed her help to find her stepsister, Ming. Not exactly the warm welcome, hug or apology, which she had expected; it should not have surprised her when a ripple of fear threaded through her, but it did.

We, as humans, have come a long way in terms of tools. We started out using rocks, sticks, and simple things found in nature. Now we use heavy, complex machinery and synthetic plastics to generate and design anything we could possibly think of. In an effort to understand the ways of earlier humans differently, I was tasked with researching and creating a tool using the methods from prehistory. In this ethnography, I will be describing the tool that I made, explaining modern tools in today’s society, and speculating how I would fair in prehistoric times.

time with family. The typical jobs in Bosnia began early and were finished by mid-afternoon, however this changed once they moved to the US. Because of the language-barrier and degrees not transferring from Bosnia, they are often required to work minimum wage jobs, which requires putting in more hours, thus offering less time for family. If they have children, the parents are often required to work jobs that are opposite schedules to keep their child out of day-care, which causes less time spent together as a whole family (Lispon et al., 2003).

Once upon a time, there lived a cunning fly. Far from being ordinary, the cunning fly craved destruction. So one day, the cunning fly decided that its first target would be an old china shop. The problem, however, was that the cunning fly was too small and weak to destroy anything. After much thinking, it made a plan: to buzz inside the ear of a powerful bull. The plan worked. The powerful bull, so angry from the buzzing in its ear, entered a fearsome rage. Amidst the fearsome rage, everything inside the old china shop was destroyed. The cunning, and now jubilant fly, could not have wished for anything more perfect.

An acceptance letter from Harvard University is a fantasy for most aspiring scholars. Students who do receive such an opportunity, may learn that these offers of admission are all but permanent. During the spring of 2017, Harvard University exercised its admissions policies, by revoking the acceptances of ten students who were deemed unfit to join the class of 2021, due to inappropriate social media posts sent within a Facebook group chat. These meme posts made light of several controversial topics. Mems were exchanged “mocking sexual assault, the Holocaust and the deaths of children” (Schmidt 1). These memes possessed a clear oppressive nature. Needless to say, Harvard’s actions sparked controversy across various facets of American

New York, New York, 9:00 pm a _ year old boy drops his _ toy to look out at the vast cityscape of New York. He sees street light up with dashes of car lights traversing through the labyrinth of the city. He sees a tall building with windows light up like seeds in a strawberry. The young boy sees flashing advertisement, some red, some green. He looks for his favorite building the tall one that converges into one point. The one that looks like too many floors from him to count. The one that at night glows with rays of light, illuminating the top of this great building. All the colors and light make him laugh and smile, he thinks it is just fantastic. However, when he looks up to see the night sky, expecting to see stars that shine just like

John and I left after the dramatic announcement of wat, not bothering to listen to anything else they had to say. Not much later, John ran off to do an errand that was delivered via messenger bird. Apparently a village needed a hunter to kill off a wolf that was eating all of the sheep.
