    Naia, a water nymph employed by Poseidon, was collecting water from the river to send to the mortals. Poseidon and Zeus had been fighting for weeks, and for a rather meaningless reason. The gods of Olympus were sick of drinking just nectar, and wanted something that could wash the taste away from their mouths. That, of course, had to be water. When Poseidon refused to send all of his water to Olympus, Zeus erupted in anger and forced his army onto Poseidon’s seas. Naia was supposed to collect water from the sea, but she fled to the river due to the war going on. She wished she could do something to help, but it was no use, she had tried.…

In Annette Lareau’s first chapter of, “Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race, and Family Life,” she talks a bit about the different families she researched and the various methods the parents are categorizing in about raising their child. Through her observations of these families, she noticed middle-class families practice a particular parenting style known as concerted cultivation, where the parents believe they must promote the growth and development of their child’s abilities and skills. These types of parents often push their kids to join a variety of activities and are very active in their child’s…

    And so, it seems as if uncertainty rings through the golden, sweetened atmosphere of the United States of America. For you, my fellow Americans, I have but one question: Is this what American revolutionists sought for when they died to gain Independence? Is this what the Union fought to keep together?

At the beginning of your first shift in the game suddenly another player’s stick comes up and strikes you in the eye. This incident ends your career.

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion.
