Rapunzel’s moral rights were not being respected, this is where The Rights Approach ethical standard comes to view, which states that “humans should have the ability to choose freely what they want to do with their lives” (Behrens, Rosen 276).

Mom and Dad shared a kiss and Ann made puking noises. When they were done with the cookies, they went into the living room and turned on 25 Days of Christmas. It was tradition to watch Christmas movies and eat cookies that night before. After a little while they fell asleep and I went off into my “dream land”.

My ¨Adventurous¨ Snow Day was not to special at all to be honest. I woke up for school and got an email saying that I had no school that day and so I decided to go right back to sleep until about 11 o'clock. I woke up and did my daily routine and came downstairs for some breakfast and afterwards I went back to my room and played Fortnight for the next 2 and a half hours (I have no life).

I stayed there for about 2 hours and then decided to start walking back when the snow got a little heavier and I stopped to get some food on the way home. When I got home I decided to lay down for a bit because I was a little tired and then I kid you not, 2 seconds later my mom

Ever since I was a little kid I’ve been going to my grandparents the day after Christmas day. My family would go there and meet up with all the other Woodruffs that would come. It was mostly three or four families if we got lucky. But when we would get together it would be a great time.

Domestic work does not receive the same recognition as a “productive” occupation as most other forms of work. Several factors contribute to the devaluation of domestic work. For one, this type of work is performed in a home where work conditions are quite different from those found in other workplaces. Also, because domestic workers tend to work alone, leaving them isolated from other typical workers. More importantly, the economic value of domestic is difficult to determine because there is no commercial output. Domestic work is still viewed as “women’s work”, belonging to the private sphere and not the public sphere. The low status of domestic work in Brazil is a primary example where women make up 94.3 percent of all domestic workers; 61.8 percent of them are Afro-Brazilians and 64 percent have little to no education. Through the analysis of Brazilian policy responses to domestic work, this paper will show that Brazilian laws do not fully address the issues of domestic work, mainly because it does not address the complex makeup of domestic work and workers.

As my family and I are quickly made comfortable, I look around... All the house is full of Christmas decorations, and the carols are heard all over the house. My cousins are running, playing , and laughing.
