‘Shopping beats therapy, any time. It costs the same and you get a dress out of it.’ – Rebecca Brandon (Née Bloomwood). Does Kinsella’s main character’s thought portray a 21st century independent woman? Does this thought describe women as materialistic shallows? Or is it the evidence of the present-day capitalist paradigm? There are clearly confronted positions in the chick lit ground, divided between those who expect this genre to reflect the feminist concept of an independent woman; and those who claim it to reveal the reality of women grappling with modern world. ‘You can be highly intelligent, and also ditzy and klutzy. (…) What I’m writing is real’, expresses best seller writer Sophie Kinsella. With a witty sense and a humorous style,

In todays world an Ethical Will seems almost foreign to many people. A monetary or property Will is a type of Will that people are most familiar with. This deals with ones property being distributed to a younger generation upon or near death.2 The encyclopedia Judaica defines a Will as a, “person’s disposition of his property in favor of another in such manner that the testator retains the property or his rights to it until his death.”5(page65) Some may be unaware that there are different types of monetary Wills. The first is called a Mattenat Bari, which means, “gift by a healthy person.”5 (page 65) The second type is called a Mattenat Shekhiv, “a gift by a person critically ill.” 5 (pg65) The last type is called an Mezavveh
For terminally ill patients living in states where On a living will, an individual can express if they would prefer not to be resuscitated or if they don’t want to be living artificially on life-support. Additionally, living wills establish a written declaration of a power of attorney, establishing a person who may legally speak on behalf of a patient who is unable to do so. Living wills are crucial pieces of documentation that are necessary for the dignity and wishes of a person who may fall unexpectedly into a life-threatening condition. If a person does not wish to live artificially on life support, a living will may be the only documentation that can secure their right to die with what they choose to be a dignified death. Unfortunately, living wills are not too common, resulting in countless Americans whose lives are extended long after they wish to live. In order to get a living will, one can either hire an attorney and have the attorney draft a living will or there are templates available that can be filled out and submitted for notarization.
This resulted in a long drawn out legal battle between Michael Contrary there are some faults to that could come into play with a living will. For instance in the state of Michigan it is not required for a living will to be enforced legally so in the end you wants might not even come into consideration. Another fact is that a physician can decide what is deemed necessary under certain circumstances and go against your wishes not to be resuscitated. Given the circumstances your family members might not agree with you giving up the right the life for the sake of their finical security. Terri Schiavo's family never gave up on her and would have been content to take care of her for the rest of her life.

What do I think is the main point of this video clip? The main point of this video is the magnitude of participating in estate planning. One important aspect is making a will. The You Tube video I chose was from a law firm called, “Argon Law”. The speaker emphasized the advantages and disadvantages of making a will, so your wishes for the distribution of your assets at death/tragedy will be meet. “This includes Assets held by companies, assets held in trusts, and proceeds of life insurance are a few of the processes you must think about. One important statement he made. The law allows for your spouse, child or dependent to challenge your will after you die.”(Gallagher, 2014).
In reference to the article “Alzheimer, Dementia and the Living Will: A Proposal” by Claudia Burla, Guilhermina Rego, and Rui Nunes, a living will is “…a written document available in paper or in the health care system intranet…” (Burla, Rego, & Nunes, 2014). Essentially, this written document allows an independent person to make choices with respect to their desires for the future when it comes to their health and the care they receive. A good example of when a living will would be useful is one from the “Alzheimer, Dementia and the Living Will: A Proposal” article, the authors propose that for patients with Alzheimer’s, “…the living will can be presented to the patient in the early days of their geriatric care…when the person is still in full enjoyment of cognitive ability…” (Burla, Rego, & Nunes, 2014). If a person were slowly experiencing the early signs of a mental disease, yet still had the capabilities to be autonomous, the person would be successful in writing a living will before the disease completely took over. As a result of having this prewritten document, the burden of decision making would be
Kathrine Christy Professor Anne Vial Women in Literature 11 September 2015 Unit 1 Response: On Storytelling We all commonly assume that we act freely, that we make our own decisions without regard to the opinions of those around us. We all like to think we create our own stories, and choose the way we tell them. However, many of us are probably at least tempted to wonder if this a thing completely within our control, how much of it is, and how we can resist attempts of others to write our stories for us, regardless of what we actually desire. Particularly when it comes to women, the society around us is very sure of what it wants our stories to be, and who should tell them and when. This is, of course, a process that begins early. As Foss,
1. When inspired me to write? Well, I like every other writer out there have a deep love of books, and after reading many, many of them, I had read some great ones, a lot of good ones, and some very poor ones. So, like most people, after reading some of these bad books, I said to myself, “I can do better than this, how did this get published?” So, eventually, I had decided to give writing a shot and I haven’t looked back so far.
