“The only time you should text and drive is when what you have to say is more important than your very life.” ~ Anonymous…
Tattoos have decorated bodies for centuries. From religious beliefs, to punishment, to adornment, tattoos have reflected personal stories for each of the bodies it marks. In the modern era, tattoos have become a form of art in which people use to express their individualities. Although one may consider marking their bodies as a positive form of self expression, tattoos can have lasting negative effects on one’s physical, social, and professional lives.…
I text while driving. I try not to, but I do. And I know what you're thinking. I get it. You think I'm careless. You think I'm reckless. You think I'm dangerous. You say I'm an accident waiting to happen; that I'll probably get killed one day; that I might even kill you. I tell you now, I understand. But I don't care. I have places to be, text messages to send.…
I remember whenever I had something to ask or tell someone I would just give them a ring, now a day it’s just a text here and there. I’ve forgotten what some people’s voices even sound like. Most always I text before I call; from work issues to just contacting my mother and it makes the issues less personal and sometimes can be perceived as less than important. My mother tells me all the time that if the issue was that important I would have called instead of sending a text. Texting also opens the window for anyone to say almost anything, especially things they wouldn’t say not only in person but on the phone. It is easier to say things over text since you can’t see someone’s reactions if it’s something unpleasant or weird, I know from experience that I resort to sending an awkward or unpleasant texting to avoid a face to face talk or even a phone call. I’ve gotten some creepy texts as well from people I know who would never have enough courage to say what they texted to me to my face. Texting can take a 5 minute phone conversation and turn it into an hour ordeal, instead of calling my friend to ask her what she is doing and her plans later, I’ll text instead and the wait for a reply and all the small talk actually turns out to be pretty time consuming. Texting in short is…
“Tattooing is enjoying a big renaissance around the world” (Franklin-Barbajosa, 2004). Health Canada (2006) states that “U.S. studies show that the number of women with tattoos quadrupled between 1960 and 1980”, making them the fastest growing demographic of people getting tattooed in America (Ponte & Gillian, 2007). In addition, another study from the Pew Research Center (2007) claims 40% of Americans age 26-40 have a tattoo (p. 23). Many of these people are getting tattooed to make themselves feel more beautiful, or as a…
Policing plays a significant role in the criminal justice system. The system can be categorized in three key components, policing where the investigation is held, the courts for judgment to take place and corrections where the punishment is looked over by the correctional authorities. There are many different types of criminal justice system, I will be comparing and contrasting the Japanese’s and England’s criminal justice system with the United States’ system.…

Disney’s original movie Cinderella (1950) and Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella (1997) both consist of songs throughout the movie. “A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes” is sung by Cinderella where she is seen singing to her animal friends to always keep dreaming. It consists of rhymes in the end of almost each line and the words rhyme with each other every other line. There are different types of rhymes used throughout the song. The second and fourth lines end with asleep/keep, which are perfect rhymes. The first and third lines end with heart makes/heartache, which are mosaic rhymes as it’s a double rhyme scheme. The sixth and ninth lines end with through/true and the seventh and eighth lines end with grieving/believing, which are identical rhyming. The lyrics of the song also have figurative language in one sentence, “Your rainbow will come shining through”, to symbolize happiness. The last four lines repeat the beginning of the song again.…

Me neither. I have my life in that little black box – appointments, phone numbers, addresses, birthdays, e-mail, grocery list, music, and more. Texting is the only way I can contact my daughter. I can’t imagine what I would do without it.…

Pop star Justin Bieber was arrested in Miami, Florida for various illegal actions including drag-racing, driving under the influence, and driving with an expired license. Justin Bieber was then taken into custody the morning after and was charged with DUI, and a bail set at $2100. Justin Bieber was then released hours after his arrest. When leaving the police station, Bieber waved to fans, and went on his way. Bieber was silent, and never said anything pertaining to his arrest. Days later, he posted a photograph on his Instagram account, with a side by side photo of him waving to fans out side of the Miami Police Station, next to a picture of Michael Jackson doing the same. The caption read “What more can they say?”, and then later tweeted on his official Twitter account, “You are all worthy, no matter what anyone says >> be strong God is with us all > My beliebers changed my life > I will forever be grateful.” And that was the last Bieber said about the situation. The same day, Justin’s manager, Scooter Braun tweeted him his account “@justinbieber love you and i will act in the manner of someone who truly cares. that is all I have to say. thanks for all those concerned.” That was all that was said by Justin and his manager.…
But Justin is much more than just a pop sensation; he is also a very charitable person. He has donated of millions of dollars to various charities since his rise to stardom. Though recently, he has been getting a lot of negative press, which has been hard for many, if not all of his “Beliebers”(what Justin calls his millions of dedicated fans) to hear. Justin is constantly under the media’s microscope and every single thing he does get criticized and scrutinized by the paparazzi and by the media. Justin’s main audience is young, teen…
As Natalie Moore says in her essay “Rule of Thumbs: Love in the Age of Texting” I also believe that texting plays a bigger role than it should in the lives of many people. I am the perfect example of this because, sometimes my friends and I rather text than talk on the phone or meet up, my boyfriend is obsessed with texting, and I feel like I should ease down on the texting because is taking too much of my time.…
