The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference Malcolm Gladwell presents the Broken Window Theory. This theory looks at the impetus of crime. ¨The impulse of people to get involve in a certain kind of behavior¨ (Gladwell). New York´s subway stations saw a change when crime decreased.

now: “I have a dream…”. I, too, have a dream for America, that progress will never stop being the foundation of this country. I have a dream that one day, all traces of today’s struggles will be as insignificant and irrelevant as the worries of the European explorers believing the world is flat. I have a dream that someday, the next generation will correct the error of their predecessors. I have a dream that my optimism regarding the future will prove every bit of doubt in my mind wrong. While I have
10/16/2017 In this paper, I plan to give an exposition of Saint Thomas Aquinas’ five point argument. Next, I plan to state one of the five arguments that I find the most compelling and then explain why it is so compelling. Finally, I plan to state one of the five arguments that I find the least compelling and give reasons as to why it is the least compelling. Aquinas’ first and second argument are both very similar to one another. Aquinas states “To cause change is just to draw something out
class that I felt were important to my continued education at UNCG and to the rest of my life, but for now I would like to focus on three main sections that I feel were particularly valuable. Learning about anthropocentrism, human impact through pollution, and the human population helped me change the way I think about the world and see myself in it. One of the first things I learned in Major Concepts of Biology was the term anthropocentrism. I’d never seen it before, but once I had, I could quickly
In the world today, global warming is rapidly being noticed by most all living beings, especially in North America. Global warming is, according to dictionary.reference.com is ‘an increase in the earth's average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect.’ (global-warming. 2015).

The school I was in for kindergarten to 5th grade there was only one class I stayed in for the entire day. My mom was little upset because her final child was starting school. When I hear “kindergarten” I think of Mrs. Otteson. She has been a great teacher who cared about my grades and wanted me to do my best. My first friend was Andrew Escamilla.

he got older he became one of the best presidents to be alive. For ending slavery so everyone can be treated fairly in life. As a man he left many things for us to remember him by as a nice man who did things for our country. Could you have done what he did.

I would never be able to do the things that this man has done for people to remember me for things. What are you going to
briefly about the person I had became and that she had seen both of my children be born. I asked her if I would ever see her again and she told me she always heard me talk to her. We embraced as I started to cry and I told her I never wanted to wake up and be with-out her. At that moment I was startled back to reality by a noise in the house.
