Work/ Life = 1? By Mrs. Sisyphus‚ November 15‚ 2013 Are you aware that a term‚ “workaholic” entered to the dictionary in past 20 years? The term‚ itself explains how terrifying it is. It comes from work and alcoholic and we should all understand that being workaholic is a bad addiction like alcohol. Yes‚ I think it is an addiction since most of the people spend most of their time working. I guess spending 24 hours in work is madness. You can say‚ “Bullshit‚ who spends 24 hours at work‚ it is nonsense”

Hope Hancox Athletic Training Pilcher I do believe the fault should have been put on the coaches‚ trainer‚ and mainly the nurse for telling Plevretes two days after his diagnosis that he could return to practice and whatnot after sitting out for one game. Considering he was diagnosed with a concussion‚ in order for Plevretes to get back on the field as soon as possible‚ he should have been checked out and kept on a regular check up schedule to monitor the progress of his concussion; neither

This book draws more than just a review‚ the story begs for analysis. That’s because it can mean many things to different people. I doubt there is one specific analogy that is drawn from it. I remember discussion about the depths of meaning and comparisons with Christianity and Jesus‚ New Age connections and that of Mysticism. I can see why. Others thought this a self-help book driving them to be the best they could. It does exhort positive thinking. I remember some speaking how reading this book

Contemporary social critic Neil Postman asserted that Aldous Huxley‚ the author of Brave New World‚ did not fear that society would be overcome by an externally imposed oppression‚ but that what we love would ruin us. Based on information from Huxley’s novel‚ Postman was spot on with his statement. In Brave New World‚ the majority of the non-savages‚ with the exception of Bernard‚ never questioned their existence. They embraced belonging to everyone else‚ and having technology and substances to rely

To many people today‚ animals are seen as nothing more than a childhood pet‚ a mere source of education‚ or even a useless annoyance. To other people‚ animals are beautiful‚ exquisite creatures that should be protected and cherished. Recently‚ many animal rights activists have turned their focus to animal experimentation‚ which has become one of today’s largest controversies.

Determined never to forget but perhaps ready to move on‚ the nation gently handed Sept. 11 over to history Sunday and etched its memory on a new generation. A stark memorial took its place where twin towers once stood‚ and the names of the lost resounded from children too young to remember terror from over a decade ago. The anniversary took place under heightened security. In New York and Washington especially‚ authorities were on alert. In New York‚ Washington and Pennsylvania‚ across the United

The source of Socrates’ suspicion of the democracy stems from the argument that the general public is ignorant and therefore lacks the knowledge or truth to make the best decision for government. The foundation of democracy is based on majority rule‚ however because the majority is unaware of what truly is good for them‚ by virtue of their ignorance‚ the masses are not capable of electing a leader fit to run the state or government. Socrates contends that due to mass ignorance‚ the majority will

In 2013‚ it boggles my mind that we are still messing up on basic human rights issues. Of course homosexual marriage should be legal. If the issue people have with gay marriage is that it is not in keeping with their religious belief‚ that shouldn’t matter because couples can be married through a civil authority on behalf of the government and not have to worry about representation from the church. Even so‚ couples should be able to get married in their place of worship if the clergy has no problem

In society today there are murders committed everyday. And everyday the people who commit these crimes are found guilty in a court of law and sentenced to like in prison. Some even get chances for parole. What the courts should do is take every murderer‚ give every one of them the death penalty‚ and follow through with it. The death penalty should be legal in all 50 states and carried through when given out as a sentence. Gary Gilmore faced a firing squad at the Utah State Prison on January 17‚ 1977

Bottled Water Bottled water is one of the easiest ways for getting "good" water. Bottled water is every where in offices‚ airplanes‚ stores‚ homes and restaurants across the country. People think that bottled water is the best option for their health instead of drinking tap water because they say tap water is not completely pure.
