Early in the Americans, the Red, White, and Black came together and colluded. The Red, being the Indians, were enslaved, making them a part of this collusion. “Including the domestic labor that native wives could provide; in some cases intermarriage was a form of labor recruitment.”(22). The Blacks, or Africans, were brought to America solely as slaves for the Europeans. The Whites, are the ones who had enslaved both the Indians and the Africans. “As early as 1502, Europeans settlers began to import slaves from Africa” (23). Also they were the most important factor, because without them, there would have been no collusion. The Europeans were the ones that started colonizing the New World and bringing in slaves to help do so.…
Love, as good as it feels, nothing feels as good as the anticipation of it. It is the four-letter word that all human beings have in common and strive for with purposefulness. In fact, any human being has either been loved or has loved before. When it comes to love, there are a lot of divergence in the thoughts and beliefs to “What is really love?” that it became the most popular search on Google.…
What is love? I never knew until I was fourteen year old at my first horse show. My family has always told me that when I loved someone or something unconditionally for exactly what it was without expecting anything in return, and when I was away from whatever I loved I would feel like something was missing, and only then would I truly understand love. At that first horse show I understood what they told me. For me my first horse show changed my life, it made me feel so alive and I never wanted to leave. Everyone has their own definitions of love but mine is for a series of events and is much different from the typical "love" that most people understand.…
Love; a noun; an intense feeling of deep affection. Now, when the definition of love is used in today's society, one might think of a scrappy young couple barely getting by in a worn down apartment in New York or Portland, sitting down in a pile of blankets and thinking of the most unique child names for their soon to be. One might think of a love between a soft newborn and their mother moments after being brought into the world, the love and admiration in the mother's eyes thinking of all the endless possibilities their life could have. Love could be used when the parents send their child off to school, tears filling their eyes because they are so proud to see the love of their life, their born child growing up and experiencing the vast…
In today’s society, most people communicate using of cell phones. Just 15 to 20 years ago, cell phones were a rarity for the average person. The average income person could not afford a cell phone. Today, cell phones are affordable and the majority of people own them. The days of waiting until you are home to use a telephone or searching for a pay phone if you are out are long gone. In fact, pay phones are being removed, which increases the need for a cell phone. The government will provide a cell phone with limited monthly service for those that are low income and meet certain criteria. The cell phone has also created people to feel the need to be accessible to constant communication. The major problem lies with cell phone use while driving, which presents a constant danger on the road. In many instances, it is a deadly danger.…
Has the question, “ What do other people think of me?” ever crossed your mind before? It has crossed my mind before, which has led me to many questions. In this day and age people know how to handle a computer, I’d like to say I know more than your average bear. Many things are possible with a computer, like watching videos or listening to live streams. Every week or so a group of my friends speak about random topics, this particular week the gang decided to speak about religion. A topic I consider slightly taboo to discuss in large groups, a day I will never forget.…
One would think that purchasing your first home would be a very fascinating experience; after all it is one of the most major purchases of your entire life. In America, home ownership ties in with the American Dream and the spirit of working hard to one day earn through hard work a home with a white picket fence. My husband and I felt that it was time for us to reward ourselves for all the hard work we have been putting in over the years by purchasing our first home, which was well overdue. I quickly learned the process of purchasing your first home can be very frustrating and stressful. However, if you survive the home buying process the reward is priceless once you move into your “American Dream.”…
New to the district and to my elementary school, I shuffled my way to class with my eyes fixated on the floor below me. My father held my hand and as we reached my first grade classroom, he gave it a little squeeze. I had told my dad…
Most people rely on the security and care of others to provide for their loved ones when they put them in a nursing home. What they don’t realize is how much neglect goes on to the people they care most about. Residents are at risk of being abused by their caretakers but they are also at risk of being restrained, which may lead to a form of abuse. At Southwestern Nursing Home I have witnessed forms of neglect and abuse. Nursing homes are meant to be a place for security for the elderly to be cared for in their golden years, and it has become an unpleasant experience for senior citizens being subjected to acts of abuse and neglect.…
Love is when someone cares and has strong feelings of deep affection for someone or something. Love is a wonderful thing to have because most people can change from just caring about someone and knowing that they care about you the same way. There are three different categorize…
The age old question is what is love? The Oxford English Dictionary defines love as “ An intense feeling of deep affection” . Love is a universal topic. When people hear the word “love” many things can come to mind. It is unique because everyone loves differently. Love can be pleasant or torturous. In my opinion, love may be the most powerful thing a person will ever come across.…
Everyone in the world has a journey to find their passion. Whether it be short, long, thought-out or impulsive, people may find out what career field they'd like to join. Once one discovers their passion and what career path to follow, they are then made to pursue a degree that will help them excel. For some it took only moments to decide their fate; it takes some only a simple decision towards what path they want to take. It took me years of researching, exploring and see-sawing between numerous careers and different degrees to pursue. There were a few things I knew from the beginning along with a few things I picked up along the way that I wanted to do. I've always known I've wanted a degree from the beginning, but I started wanting a degree thinking it'd make me more money than average; I've learned since then it's almost the only way to get a decent job in this day and age. Now that I'm older, I finally decided my future as far as the degree I want and what I'd like to do with it. I've also decided how and where I'm going to obtain my degree. There are so many ways to go to college and get a degree; I could have gone to an online school, a 4 year university, a community college or even a mixture of all. With all the different choices in the world, it's a hard decision to make.…
There can be major physical changes and effects to a female’s body after having a child. In 2011 when I had my son the hospital gave me an epidural for the pain; they did the shot too high up on my back. As far as anyone knew I was fine. I showed no signs of problems until after I got out of the hospital, when I started having back spasms due to the fact that the epidural was done incorrectly. The female body goes through many natural changes; it prepares itself to be capable of having a child naturally and being capable of breastfeeding babies. It can also cause other effects that are not necessarily normal changes to the female body, for me the two main changes that I had were being anemic and having a hyperthyroid. The doctors told me that I was anemic because I had lost too much blood during labor and that the hyperthyroid was a result of my body changing after having my son but that it was nothing to worry about.…
The morning was young and the barn was alive. Horses were neighing, dogs were barking, the goat was bleating, and cats appeared out of every nook and cranny that you could see. All were awaiting their morning meals. I grew up on a small farm in Pennsylvania. During the fourteen years of living in Pennsylvania, my experiences have taught me many important life skills and morals that will forever guide my life.…
Love is unquantifiable, obsessive, and elusive, an integral part of the human experience, and an enormous contradiction. It is a steep mountain. It is magic. It is relatable. It is compassionate. It is love.…
