Running Head: 12-STEP GROWTH & PHILOSOPHY The Growth and Philosophy of 12-Step Recovery Patricia Klobnock English Composition 111 James Wieber, Instructor December 7, 2005 Abstract There has been an massive uprising of 12-Step groups worldwide. This rise in numbers should be an indicator of their success. However many argue viewpoints that these groups have, for instance; classifying addiction as a disease, spiritual concepts, and life long dependencies on the groups themselves. By examining these arguments and the undeniable growth of these fellowships, this essay demonstrates that although the 12-Steps may not be the right choice for every addict they are a phenomenon that may deserve a closer look. Introduction In recent years, 12-step programs have flooded the world at an amazing rate.

In the US Open for tennis, men and women have been paid equally for the past three decades and then the Australian open in 2000 did the same thing. Should we make other sports do the same then? Equal Pay in Professional Sports: - For the first time in 2007, Wimbledon announced that they will provide equal prize money to the male and female athletes. In events like the grand slam, it will now offer equal prize money to the champions of the tournament. - In both 2005 and 2006 Jelena Prokopcuka won the New York City marathon.
I visited Fijian, German, Filipino, Polynesian, Serbian, Polish, Russian, Scottish, Ukrainian, Thai, Italian, and Vietnamese tents. The very first thing that came to mind when witnessing the Folk Fair was Disney’s Epcot. In my opinion, one of the best things about different cultures is the food, so I obviously couldn’t wait to taste the heritage. I was slightly disappointed to realize that I’ve tasted most of what as offered, until I ran into the Germans. A German man made me what seemed like a cinnamon apple pancake, and it was paradise in my mouth.
The Olympics are a great and mighty tradition that has been around for hundreds of years, and being able to host such an amazing event, is an honor. For example, during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, many people would agree that it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and the “good-feel” factor that it brought with it, especially being downtown. Besides being an honor, the Olympics bring thousands of people to one place, meaning that all of them are going to have to spend money in the location of the Olympics. The amount of money that is made off of the Olympics is outrageous. A major sporting event like the Olympics can attract 10,000s of people for the duration of the games.

The opening ceremony is an Olympic tradition, of which has been upheld for 114 years. In honor of the original games held in ancient Greece, the Olympic athletes of Greece march into the stadium first. The athletes of the other countries then follow in alphabetical order by country, according to the spelling in the language of the host country. The athletes of the host country enter last. For the first time ever in the Summer of 1956 Olympics, during the Closing Ceremony athletes from all nations entered the stadium in unity, rather than marching in one nation at a time.
They were banned in 394 AD but were revived and made international in 1896. The Winter Games were added in 1924. World War I and World War II forced cancellation of the Olympics in 1916, 1940 and 1944, but they resumed in 1948 and now they are held every four years. The founder of the modern Olympic games was Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who wanted to continue the tradition of people around the world meeting and competing in a civil manner (Ollie Williams, 2011). THE OLYMPICS AS AN EVENT The Olympics is a truly global mega event (Justin Goulding, 2011).
Their US parks, Disneyland and Disneyworld, were extremely success- ful, and Tokyo Disneyland was so popular that on some days it could not accommodate the large number of visitors. Simply put, the company was making a great deal of money from its parks. However, the Tokyo park was franchised to others—and Disney management felt that it had given up too much profit with this arrangement. This would not be the case at Euro Disneyland. The company’s share of the venture was to be 49 per cent for which it would put up $160 million.
