Carla Wilcox Writing 1550 February 24, 2012 Assistance that is Deserved In the essay A Nation of Welfare Families, Stephanie Coontz explains that families in our nation have depended on government assistance since the beginning of time. She also argues that this is not something new, and would not become a hindrance to our nation. As I read this essay, I realized that government aid is not something new, but it can corrupt society in relation to the independence our nation stands on. This passage from the essay demonstrates how families today should be based on without government aid: “A family takes care of its own, carves out a future for its children, and never handouts”(98). This quote discusses that as a people of this nation we have a responsibility to become working and independent individuals who strive for the best.
She doesn’t acknowledge the statement made by Becraft "this is a volunteer military everyone who stays is there of their own free will" (Applebaum, 2003). We have not had a draft since Vietnam and Applebaum seems to try to persuade her reader that the fact women have to deploy and possibly die, leaving children behind is somehow a travesty that the military could care less. She takes advantage of her reader’s ignorance about how the real United States military works. The military is not a 9 to 5 corporation and the way the military defends the country from all enemies foreign and domestic is by dedication, sacrifice and
Because of this vast change, police really sought out to change the personified image of law enforcement as a collective whole (Lentz & Chaires, 2007). They really began to take on the needs of American citizens beyond just maintaining and conducting law, but now they were assisting in many areas of housing, built and supervised playgrounds for children, and even found jobs for ex-convicts. This obviously was a mammoth task law enforcement attempted to tackle, but certainly would change the initial blemished perspective of law enforcement because they were in all attempts desiring to show the people they really wanted to be of assistance not in maintaining the law but making sure people’s needs were
Judy says she will remain involved in Greenleaf Elementary, whether it is a teacher, a principal, or apart or administration. She says her goals for the Elementary school will never be reached because “effective teachers are never satisfied with their success.” However, Judy does feel successful because she knows that she has now provided students with limitless tools to success on tests and in
Bruce and Hester Warren, along with Bruce’s wife Ruth, all live in the house in the countryside of Alberta. Despite the sacrifices Hester has made for Bruce and their father prior to his death, Hester does not inherit the house because she is a woman and has no rights to it. Nevertheless, Hester remains adamant that “[their father has] meant for her to have the house” (Ringwood 951). Hence, when Bruce and Ruth finally decides to sell the old house, Hester explicitly exclaims that “[it] is [her] house” and maintains that “[the] house will not be sold”
Garrison Commander Bldg. 681 U.S. Military Academy West Point, NY 10996 Dear Colonel Tarsa, The U.S. hasn’t used the draft since, 1973, since we changed to an all-volunteer military. Even though registration is still required for the draft, I think it should be kept to make sure we never lack enough power to protect our country. Although there will hopefully never be a time to constitute the use of the draft, it is a precaution that keeps us as a country safer. I realize the draft is back-up to the U.S. Armed Forces to provide manpower and to fill unoccupied volunteer slots.
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution states that, “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Relevant Supreme Court cases also apply this restriction to states, including the State University of New York. At the same time, many a mother has told her child that, “sticks and stones may break your bones, but names will never hurt you.” Yet study after study, and plain experience, show that often not to be the case. While name calling and taunting have plagued playgrounds since time immemorial, the advent of the Internet has made it significantly easier to stalk, taunt, expose
My family’s motto was “Do unto others as they do unto to you”. Prejudice/discriminate didn’t exist in my home because we were taught that there is only one race and that is the human race. I have never discriminated against anyone of another culture and I plan to be non-judgmental towards my clients. I feel that my cultural values will carry me a long way in life as I become a
Aging with Dignity Angela Starnes Psyc 210 12/13/2013 Aging in its self brings on a lot of emotions and questions to be answered. But I never want my aging responsibilities to be a burden on any of my family. So with the Five Wishes template I can make sure that the hard question are laid out with answers according to my wishes, and leaves my family free of making these hard decisions as much as possible. Choosing a person to make health care decisions for me when I can not make them for myself is a hard task. I feel I would trust me own children to make the best decisions for me.
Also, our home will not be one of those flashy houses you see on MTV cribs, but the only thing that will matter is having a roof over our heads with enough money to support us. I am going to make sure my friends will be the type of people I can trust and count on. But for the most part the only people we will learn to trust are our parents and family.
