This discovery dispute concerns three issues. The first issue is whether plaintiff Elmer Davis is entitled to see defendant National Inc.’s financial records. This effects document request numbers 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11 and 12 (attached as Ex. 1). These requests all targets Nationals financial and tax records. While there are also some potential individual issues related to time and scope of the individual discovery requests, each of these requests raises the same threshold question: whether Davis is entitled to see Nationals’ financial records. See in re Garth, 214 S.W. 3d 190, 194 (Tex.App. – Beaumont 2007, Pet. Dism’d) (reversing trial court's order compelling production of financial records beyond what would evidence net worth).…
America had two rebellious eras which was The Roaring Twenties and The Sixties but however there were distinguishable differences. The Roaring Twenties experience the change when people started to migrate from the rural to the cities. For instance, women begin to express themselves by dressing more revealing, drink publicly, smoke publicly, and are more sexually active. Not only that, during this time it was illegal to sell, consumer, or create alcoholic beverages but people however rebelled against the law to the point where the congress repealed prohibition with the 21 amendment. The Sixties however almost the same, except they went above and beyond when it comes to society norms. During this time, there was a dramatic growth of a counterculture…

The events of the 1970’s had a strong impact on popular culture of the time. Women began getting into the workplace which caused divorce rates to skyrocket. Teenagers became heavily influenced by Rock and Roll and musicians like the Bee Gees and Rod Stewart.

This particular period of time was very significant in terms of general changes in society given the post war baby boom, abolition of the death penalty, improved reproduction rights for women, peaks in the number of university attendees, sexual revolution which saw strident action towards female liberation and equality, an influx of immigrants from the Caribbean and South Asia, periods of economic booms and busts and new found openness of sex, sexuality, drug use and freedom of expression in fashion and music which was largely unprecedented. The question however is, how much influence did youth culture have on these issues and what has been the impact of the changes brought about during this era.…

When I looked up this book and noticed its publication date (1994), my first thought was, “How relevant can this book be, it’s almost 20 years old?” The issues adolescents faced in the early 1990’s are not the same issues…
"David," written by Earle Birney is a very emotional piece. The poem is narrative as told through the eyes of Bob, David's friend. One of the themes that follow throughout this poem is the onset of maturity and all the barriers that must be over come. The tone is a cynical one, when Bob is asked by David to push him over the edge to his death. This poem also includes figurative language and poetic devices that help to develop an element of suspense, complication, and emotion. Birney has created a poem that consists of eleven sections that break down into quatrains. There is not a set pattern that is constant throughout this poem. Some verses are different from other verses, thus do not follow the same rhyming scheme, it adds the story element. One of the rhyming schemes that does occur in some verses which have the first and the fourth lines rhyming, it reminds the reader that it is also a poem. Alliteration is also included in his poem. It helps the reader flow from one word to another; "seracs that shone" is one example of this device. There is no exact rhythm in this poem; it is more of a story then a classical poem. Since not all of the verses rhyme or follow the same rhyme scheme it sets the emotion of the poem to a more serious and mature piece then a happy and fun poem. Birney has used the lack of verse to clearly set the subject matter for a very serious and emotional poem. This piece has impressionistic, decorative, and picturesque imagery. All of these images allow the reader to visualize what's going on and experience the emotion expressed. There are many symbols to help add to the picture conveyed by the poet. The symbol of a bird that has a broken wing and is going around in circles symbolizes that everyone is impermanent and can get hurt. The goat's bones on the mountain also symbolize the danger that is always present in the our lives and paints the reader a picture that danger is even in ordinary activities. One of the similes that gives the reader…

From watching The Family Guy, we can observe many trends that happened during that particular historical era or generation. For example, the opening introduction song to the show has particular lines that include, “It seems today that all you see is violence in movies and sex on TV.” What we can infer about this was that during the early as well as the late 1990’s, America’s culture had changed. It was in the early 1950’s right after the Vietnam War that the rise of rock and roll took place. With the rise of rock and roll, rebellion as well as baby booming occurred. Mom and dad were always out working which meant that the children were always left unattended. As a result, the kids became rebellious.…
After many years of non-stop action, America finally fell into an uneventful lull. The 1970s were an in between period for the nation. It is often referred to as America’s hangover; a stretch of time where the country had no forward motion. The traditional family and gender roles were becoming more obsolete. The Middle East substantially rose the price of crude oil, which was accredited to the severe inflation the nation experienced during this time. President Carter did little to help the country overcome this problem, but, fortunately, his successor did. In the 1970s, America experienced a great sense of change, withdrew from traditional ways, and struggled to overcome its problems.…

It says in the article written by Winn, “ At least fashions then encouraged teens to dress well, while sagging jeans and hoodie styles would be shunned in the 60’s society” (Winn). This reveals how teenagers thought it was good to dress well. Also, people care about how others think about them because if you go and apply for a job and you're dressed inappropriately or if you are all dirty, they most likely will not hire you because they may think if that is how much respect you have for yourself, how are you going to take a job seriously. Even if a person needed your help, they may feel uncomfortable around…
