Jules decided to take the gap year for their own benefits.

Recently students are becoming more interested in taking a gap year recently

The year off was meant to help students travel before they went to college and by the time they graduate it will be difficult for them to travel because they will need to find a job. Most students do not have time to go and travel after college.

The gap year can be a helpful way of saving a lot of money and then going to school when you figure out what it is you want to do for the rest of your life.

James Bulger was a lot of things, one of which is a murderer.

Someone like James Bulger, whom had rap sheet longer than the Lord of the Rings credits by the age of sixteen, was not going to find a job that he could live off of.

Places like the Southie Projects in southern Boston make for the perfect storm. Many of the residents in the 1970’s were impoverished and uneducated European, African, or Asian immigrants. There was never much of a turf war in the Southe Projects. It was always predominantly Irish immigrants and decendants.

The same way peers influence adolescents to make bad decisions, they can influence them to make good ones too

but the powerful force compelling him to “do the right thing” is his respect for his mother.

The adolescent years are  also key because this is when cliques are most likely to be formed

This causes them to be more likely to drive without a seat belt, drive recklessly, give into peer pressure, and chose friends that won't benefit their future.

The morality of capitalism is completion, and can be found in other places other than politics. For example, sports.

Now, if you haven’t picked up a history textbook recently, I will be more than happy to summarize how Stalin’s USSR turned out.

Do what you do best, and if you give nothing less than one hundred percent, you will succeed.

t is more than ridiculous for governments to chose what we want, it should be considered government theft.

As the government exchanges our earned money for perks, our work becomes devalued.

First, under socialism, taxes are increased significantly. Now don’t get me wrong, we need taxes to be a country, but when they increase too high it leads to disaster. Bernie’s proposal, is that the rich in America, pay anywhere from thirty-seven to fifty percent of their income.

The moral principle behind socialism, is that the government is responsible for providing both necessities and benefits to its citizens.

The common characteristics that all of these tragedies share are the games that each child engaged with.

It makes the winner feel like they have accomplished a goal and leaves them with feeling very satisfied about themselves.

The reason people got so upset over this game is because every time someone got hit they would hear an ‘ahhhk’ sound and a gravestone would pop up.

He created a table tennis game which involved two players who would turn a knob to adjust the ball’s angle and push a button to hit the ball towards the other player

It was the first time in my life I felt what it felt like to be in love with someone, and how strong and nice that feeling is. It took me forever to be able to openly talk about my sexuality without getting embarrassed.

It was very hard for me that someone so important to me in my life couldn’t accept me for who I was.

I plan to explore both of these theories as well as incorporating my own experiences on homosexuality that way I can offer insight to people.

If the family wasn’t already in poverty because domestic violence they many times end up in it.

They many times overpower women and put them down because they believe that is how the roles are suppose to be. Many women are looking for a way out of this sort of abuse, but many can’t escape because they don’t have the resources to do so.

Constant exposure to domestic violence may lead child to believe that any sort of affection or intimacy should be linked to violence. When put into these environments at such young ages children grow up knowing the opposite of right and wrong.

I won’t go into details, but I will go as far to say that I know exactly how it feels to be surrounded by domestic violence.

Another type of domestic violence that tends to occur a lot is economic. This involves making or attempting to make the victim financially dependent on them.

I’m sick of people discouraging other people’s futures. I live in a world where people think creativity and expression is unimportant or unsuccessful.

would have been able to pursue her dreams sooner rather than later

Not only do people go to college to learn, but they are also given access to materials and professors who have lived through the career and know the experience and tactics it takes to make it a living. This is needed for a lot of careers.

College is also a place to find yourself, find what you want to be, and to make a plan for the future. If only making a plan for a future didn’t cost more than buying a house.

This article is on CTE. CTE is a new found disease found in the brain of one that has had a traumatic brain injury, or repetitive contact over the course of years. The study in the article was ran by members of the Department of Veterans Affairs and Boston University. The test was on NFL players after they have died and even studies on the brain of all the current NFL players. Also they say 79% of all players have this disease.

killing themselves due to the effects of CTE.

Research indicates that there are 4 stages of the illness.  In Stage 1, isolated spots of tau build up mostly around the frontal lobe of the brain.  An individual would normally notice no symptoms at this stage.  In Stage 2, symptoms such as rage, impulsivity and depression begin to appear as defective tau protein affects more nerve cells in the brain’s frontal lobes. By Stage 3, an individual is experiencing confusion and memory loss as the tau deposits expand from the frontal lobe to the temporal lobe of the brain.  By the time an individual reaches Stage 4, they are suffering from advanced dementia.  It is at this stage that the brain becomes deformed and brittle, and cognitive function is severely limited. Once at the final stage of the CTE process, tau deposits have overwhelmed the individual’s brain, killing many nerve cells and shrinking the brain to half its normal size.  At this point, the victim no longer has any memory and will not remember even their closest family members.

The NFL did not publicly acknowledge the link between concussions sustained in football and CTE until December 2009, seven years after Omalu’s discovery. Omalu has also discovered CTE in the brains of military veterans, publishing the first documented case in a November 2011 article.

This is so hypocritical because McDonald’s does not care about the well being of children. All they care about is making money and growing as a business. They don’t care that they are constantly feeding children crap that makes them obese and ultimately sick. Yet they pretend that they care about other children that are sick to make America believe that McDonald’s has our best interest in mind.
