Two of my closest friends are Savanah who I’ve known since I was a baby and Aidan who I met this past year. The obvious difference between them is their gender, one is a female and the other is a male. Savanah has many interests over the years I’ve known her for example- volleyball, swimming, track and field and fine arts. Aidan is strictly only interested in the fine arts, specifically band and composition but both are gifted musicians. They’ve both participated in state musicianship events where they work on sight singing music and also do very well in the school they attend; Savanah attends Oxbridge and Aidan goes to King’s. Savanah was raised in a Christian home as well as Aidan but attended an Episcopal church rather than a non-denominational

While they’re attempting to find their identity, they begin to form into specific cliques. Claire belongs to the rich, popular group, Bender is with the drug addicts and trouble makers, Bryan is with the nerds, and Andy in the athletic group. Psychologists say, “self-esteem and social identity of adolescents, as well as their development, often hinge on which crowds they belong to,” (Singelman & Rider, 2012). Dexter Dunphy believed that friendships are the groundwork for future dating relationships among adolescence, or even adults. Many people were sketchy about the correlation of children going from same sex friendships to opposite sex intimate relationships.

“A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself” (Jim Morrison). Friends are not made easily because no one is the same as each other. Yet we can be alike each other. Not only do the jocks fit together as friends, but the outcast kids do also. For example, in the book Staying fat for Sarah Byrnes by Chris Crutcher, Sarah Byrnes and Eric are alike. “‘My best friend. I [Eric] stayed fat a whole year for her" (Crutcher 7). Both teenagers are outcasts of their school because Sarah is seen as ugly and Eric is overweight. Since they are both outcast students, they learn off each other and protect each other. They do this by staying together through that hard times. Sarah and Eric both go through rough patches, yet Sarah faces danger

In recent years, America’s attention has been gripped by stories of women who have escaped from the Middle East. Each has a unique story, but they all have the same themes of oppression, abuse, and domination. Americans rushed onto the scene ready to “save” Middle Eastern women and many of the activists are now been highly praised for the influence they made in the region. Others, however, have come to question whether the Muslim women in the Middle East really needed the U.S. to rescue them from Islam. *Insert Thesis*
The research question and hypothesis are extremely important to conduct any type of research study. The research question presents the idea that is to be examined in the study and is the foundation of the research study. Where, hypothesis attempts to answer the research question. The hypothesis is a prediction of what the study will find (Wood & Haber, 2014). The research question being studied in this quantitative study is “ Does tobacco cessation program has an impact on veterans with substance use disorder (SUDs) in reducing the use of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs?” The researcher is trying to evaluate the impact of the tobacco cessation program on veterans seeking treatment with the substance abuse disorder (SUDs). The hypothesis being studied is “The tobacco cessation program will have a positive impact on veterans with SUDs in reducing the use of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs”. According to the article, the tobacco cessation program does have a positive impact on veterans with SUDs. At 1-month follow-up, 88 participants out of 97 reported abstinence from alcohol, 89 reported abstinence from other drugs and 14 reported abstinence from tobacco (Vest, Kane, DeMarce, Barbero, Harmon, Hawley, & Lehmann, 2014).

So what is propaganga today, and how does its influence affect us as Americans through media? There are many mediums used for the purpose of facilitating media. Radio, television, social media, press, posters, and so forth and propaganda uses each of these as well as poetry, stamps, cultural events, libraries, coins, monuments, street names, speeches, books and even comics to convey its message to the masses. Many of these we typically would not associate with propaganda, however, this just goes to show exactly how compelling yet discrete propaganda can be in its influence. The power of propaganda affects our self-image as well as our views of others without us even realizing it every day.
The Invention of Murder explores murders that spanned from the early 1800s all the way up until the Jack the Ripper murders. Each chapter has a focus that builds with each subsequent chapter. The first chapter that discusses an element unique to the time was called “Trial by Newspaper,” and it discussed the growing interest of the public in the murders. Newspapers began to print all the details about the murder, the investigation, the trial, and the execution. The public became obsessed with reading the crime stories in the paper. Later Flanders begins to discuss the growth of Scotland Yard. After many crimes were plagued with poor communication, the need for a countrywide detective force grew which was the beginnings of Scotland Yard. The
Religion is a major cornerstone of human identity and culture. Anywhere you look on earth where there are people, there is a religion or set of beliefs that those people follow. Many times, the teaching of these Religions can be twisted and manipulated to justify gender bias. The Simple truth is people are treated very differently based on their Gender by followers of two of the most popular religions in the world: Islam and Judaism. I am going to examine some ways the teaching of these two major religions are used to oppress, abuse, and differentiate women.
