In what follows, we will present a qualitative comparison of the Apple IPhone to the Blackberry Storm. Blackberry has been around the game longer than the IPhone has been out, but Apple took a bigger leap in business introducing the IPhone. The IPhone was a big target to put Blackberry down; the IPhone with a 3.5 inch screen, 640 x 960 pixels resolution and capacitive, multi touch screen was no match for Blackberry’s 3.25 inch display, 360 x 480 pixels, and only a capacitive touchscreen. The IPhone one upped the classy Blackberry Storm in every category that is out there. Being a both RIM Blackberry user and a current Iphone user, I must say that there is a big difference switching devices. Blackberry demographics are to business men, while the Iphone is also to business but also traits for kids. The pros of the IPhone are its sleek creative design, fast response, App world, camera in front of the phone, and better memory. Cons of the IPhone are the battery life doesn’t last so long when talking on phone and using a lot of applications. Blackberry Bold has a great battery life, but for a kid is pretty boring. Twitter, Facebook, text, and phone calls are mostly the only thing you can do while operating a Blackberry.…
Due to the financial crisis there have been many changes made to government programs to reduce costs and help with debt. Many of these cuts are happening statewide, in America’s public schools. The first programs that are being cut are the art programs, and the excuse is that the core classes are more important. The argument is that children need to be more focused on test scores in Math, Science, English and History. It is unfair to single out art classes, there should be a more even spread of budget cuts, not just the sole elimination of the arts. There are parents who are indifferent with the arts and they are unfazed by their removal from elementary public schools. What many of these parents do not recognize is that there are actually benefits of the arts that help with core subjects. Some benefits are strengthening problem solving skills, stimulating critical thinking and helping developmental growth. There is also a duel component that shows that there is a direct correlation between SAT test scores and art programs in schools, as well as higher participation and attendance. It has also been shown that the arts can help boost the economy.…
All kids talk about today is Snapchat. Snapchat is a social media app where you can post pictures to express you emotions and show what you are doing at the moment. Although Snapchat sounds like a fun app, there is a darkside to the app. Well some downsides about the app is that teenagers use Snapchat for sexting, and distracts the teenager from the rest of the world. The app also lacks responsibility for it’s users security because hackers can easily track someone from using Snapchat. A topic that is being discussed through parents is that if their teenager should have Snapchat. I believe that teens should not have Snapchat. Even if the pictures gets deleted after 10 seconds, it will always stay online.…
Online, physically, or verbally you can be a victim of being bullied. You don’t have to keep things as they are. The question is how to handle the situation (Do you attack the bully and become the bully yourself? Or do you ignore the bully and pretend all is well?) What you do is speak up and ask for help. I would know, because not only was I a victim, I was also a person who stood by and simply watched it happen.…
Review “How Should I Brainstorm?” in the media piece “The Writing Process.” The media piece “The Writing Process” explores six ways to brainstorm:…
1930s- In the 1930s money was scarce because of the depression. People tried what they could too to keep themselves happy. They would watch movies, play games, and such. In the great depression the American dream had become a nightmare. The great place that was once called the land of opportunity was now known as the land of desperation. The best place for a better life was California.…

Being in high-school should definitely be the best four years of your life. Most people forget that these years is what usually makes up for the rest of your life. For example some people choose to study hard, pass their classes, and then have fun with the time they got left over. Others choose to use up all their time for fun and never pass classes or dedicate any type of time towards their education and usually get held back a couple of years like I did. If you really want to make high-school the best years of your life then I would suggest choosing option A so that you enjoy all the festivities and parties with friends without having to make-up for lost time.…
Persuasive Essay : Many people would be happy and satisfied if they were in a relationship with money and fame. Doesn't that seem like the perfect life? Everyone begins to think that in life that's all that matters, and that's all they need, nothing could be better. Society dictates our morals, feelings, the way we do things and try's to tell us certain things we do are wrong and we need to do them the way they feel necessary. Our generations to come will have no clue what the meaning of a true, harmonious, happy life. They begin to think that not telling the truth is ok , and eventually get so use to it that even if they could hear the truth they wouldn't want to. It becomes part of their daily life. Clearly our society, or government has their own sneaky, conniving ways to try and brain wash everyone. Due to the problem that most people would rather have love, money, and fame, it's very rare to find some one who doesn't have any of that but is satisfied with only knowing the truth. People look up to celebrities, but they do not set good examples or try to be role models. In proposing a solution to the problem of adhering to the actions of celebrities, the analysis relates to Henry David Thoreau's belief in individuality as he talked about in his book Walden. Who is your hero? Usually the answer to this question, at least for many of us, involves a famous actor or singer, a celebrity. The celebrities of the world are the wealthiest, most beautiful and most stylish individuals to walk upon the planet. These icons, however, seem to have no moral dilemma whatsoever with corrupting the public. They are role models to the public, just as parents are role models to their children. Children mirror the actions of their parents, as does society the actions of celebrities. Suddenly, few people in the world are content because they do not live the same lifestyle as Madonna or Michael Jordan. Henry David Thoreau offers solutions in his work, Walden, to the constant societal…

What if that was you in their you'll say that your doing you're time that you are trying to change and that's what they are doing.…
This essay will be about the legal issues of marijuana. The California government chooses to have a vote in California and other states and it passed the vote, now the federal government is trying to shut down dispensaries in the state. Even though California passed the vote in 1996 to allow the use of medical marijuana for medical use, the drug is still illegal under federal law. According to federal law, any amount found on a person is a misdemeanor and holds a fine of $1,000 and up to 1 year in jail, and state law states that 28.5 grams or less only carries a $100 fine.…
“Euthanasia”, “mercy killing”, and “physically assisted suicide” – no matter what it is called – they all mean the same thing: ending a person’s life who is in a vegetative state or who is suffering from terminal illness, in order to relieve the subject of pain and suffering associated with their condition. But the main question is, is euthanasia right? Everyone dies, and if a person is terminally ill, then they should have the right to decide to pass away without the suffering.…
In 2009, Alex Brown crashed her car on her way to school because she was distracted by the text messages on her phone. Alex Brown was from Texas and was going to a school in West Texas. Her family founded the Alex Brown foundation. They traveled around the country, to educate the drivers about the dangers of texting while driving. This accident got attention from the media and it led to the ban of texting while driving in various states in the United States, but ironically, not in Texas. Since the accident, Tom Craddick, former Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, has tried to ban texting and driving in all the cities of Texas three times. The first one was in 2011.…
