The objections readers will have is that the victims of domestic , can always leave their abusers. The victims that do make it out alive are the Lucky ones . Most of these women at the time of separation is when they are beaten and or killed. So what not get a restraining order? Even if they get an restraining order it still my not help, unless police are going to set out side your home or work place , they can be died before the officers arrive . Then why not run away when the abusers is not home? There will always be someone that will known were they are , and not understanding the whole situation. This person will tell the abusers were they are. So they are always in some kind of danger . These abusers needs to be arrested.

My position statement is that domestic violence a serious problem." despite the segmentation or balkanization of the field there is one consensus that may have been reached . there is evidence that virtually every type and form of ... intimate relationship has the potential of being violent." -Richard F. Gelles, "Family Violence," In Robert L. Hampton,ed family Violence, vol.1,1999. It can be a life threatening problem for the Victims . Mostly women are then catalyse of this kind of crime , but there not the only victims, homosexual relationship are also in danger as will as battered husbands. Domestic violence can affected the children also, in the way they think and see other adults. So this is something that needs to be looked at , a little closer.

I agree with the first part of the Libertarianism , When it sides that " we should be free to do what ever we wish" . This is true because as long as we our not hurting any one with the chooses that we make . Free is being able to take ,walk,set , stand ,eat ect. when and how we want, as long as we do not hurt someone else.

Plagiarizing is easy to do when you don't know that your doing it. Most students don't known what plagiarizing is so they have no idea that there doing it. Most of the students thing that plagiarize is copying someones work , word from word , but it is more then that . So they end up get a big zero on there papers and don't understand why. Even after it is explanded to them , it still is not clear . So to avoiled this all together just write in your own words.

The emotion of the writing is anger , and confusing . The author shows both side. The side that is for this bill of legalizing gay marriage is confused on why it is so hard to get people to understand they just want to be legal . Than you have the anger side that thinks that the gay people had lost there minds , and they are going agents how we all were taught .

journal #26

The primary purpose of the writing is to inform . The author is making the point that there is two side on why the gay community wants to legalizes their joining . The other shows both side of the arguments being made by both sides . On the pro's side of the arguments , is that the gays want to stabilize there life . This way if their partner pass away they will be able to keep what they both had build up throw the years. They just want the same rights as ever one else. As for the con's most people think that this is not how it is to be , because the bible side one men and one women . Most people think that a joining of this kind is against God. They have no right to be happy in this way.

What it takes to pass the required courses in college is a lot of time and dedication to your studies . You need to want the education , and you need to want a better future for your self. Most people are taken more then one class , so you will need to put at less four hour of study time to each of your class, depending on the work load. It's all ways good to get the assignments donethe day that they are assigned . This will cut down some of the work load . Not all class assigned home work ever day , but this dose not mean that you should not pick up your book and read for a hour or so , just to get a head a little. Reading ahead makes things go much smooth for me. You need to be very dedicated to make it throw college .

" one man, one woman" this a proposition to save marriage as we had always known it to be.The institution of marriage is to remain sacred . There are people that are the same sex that would like to have it legalized for them to join as husband and wife , pro say . Most of these people think that if they put this bill up for a vote, disguised behind the main purpose for the proposition it will get a passing vote. So if they say , if you don't vote NO for proposition 107 , we are in danger of losing benefits that will help are family's . This is not the case , what they want is to be together and for this to be recognized by law. Voting yes will stop this from happening . People don't normally go around looking at other peoples hands just to see if there married , unless there are interested in that person. So if these people what to be together then let them , it dose not need to be recognized by law.

Housing for Alternative lifestyles , is something that I find to be a good area to read about. When we see people living in a strange place we assume that there are homeless and broke . This is not the case.There are many reasons for people to live the way the do . The biggest one I think people chose to live the alternative lifestyles , is mostly to save money. People chose to live in school buses , basements, old RVs , mostly to save money for they will be able to get back on there feet . There are some people that just like to travel or to live creatively. This is considered an alternative lifestyles because this is less common, then living in a house or apartment.This kind of life is not for everyone . This is a very hard why to live. Most of these people have to move once a week , because the parks only would let them stay for a short time.

Yes I do think that individual civil rights are being violated by certain law. We as a people are told were we can and can't smoke. How we are to dress, talk ,live and eat. There is always some law to stop people from living life the way they see fit. Or a group of people decide to throw a tantrum and a new law is made to stop something else from happening.

journal #21

Alternative Lifestyles to me is living life the why you what to . Most of us grew up eating meat,or severing one family religion .Then as we grew we start to make are own chooses of how we want to live over life. Most of us live in a house or apartment some were, because this is what we are taught . Our parents lived this way so we most live this. There our some of us that just said the traditional life is not for me. There are some people living in tents or RVs just to save money . They have to relocate every week , but they don't have to pay rent.

Unlike gasoline , hydrogen energy seems to be the cleanness and safe type of energy that we have. Hydrogen energy is used for more then just fueling are cars , it is also used for heating are homes and it is also used as a back up system for generators at hospitals . Gasoline is very dangers for some uses , it has the potential to blow up.Gasoline , will light up all kinds of fuel around it even you. If for some reason that hydrogen was to blows up , it will go up into the air and not all around it like gas will. Hydrogen cost much more then gas , and the safe measure are more strict . Hydrogen was to be keeped cooler then gasoline . There are special tankers that are used to insure safty . All in all hydrogen is safer , and clearner for the enviroment then gas.

There are many things that can be done , to help the environment,like recycling , most home have the green or blue recycle bends, to make it easier to keep up with the recycle progress . There was to be a list to let everyone know what is a recyclable item. There was other information handed out to , like how and were to park and ride . This is to lighten the traffic , to make the commute to and from work easier for everyone. There are a lot of people taken the bus to work and school. Most of us are still diving . AZ needs to get a better transit system . The buses run to far apart . Back east the buses run every ten minutes or so . Know one whats to be late for work or a appointment . This is why there are so many of us still driving are cars to and from.S.R.P. had handed out information on how to save on your electricity bill . This told you how low or high to run your A/C unit, it also told you when the best time was to do your launder .

I agree with you , it is the education gained within the course, and not the grade you receive.

journal #6 No Child Left Behind

I had read the NCLB act , and I have to agree on the point that the schools should be accountable for the education of all students. It's law that all school age students must attend school or have some kind of education. Back in the early 1970's there were a lot of teachers passing kids that could not read our write. They just put them into a special needs class. This way no matter if they known how to read or write they will still be passed to the next grade level .I know because I was one of those students. It had made both of my parents very angrier. Now that I'm a parent , I refuse to let my kids fall between the cracks . I was happy to read that the now teachers are required to have a college degree and a licensed or certified by state. I think this is very import en that they have a major in the subjects they are to be teaching. I remember a time when I was back in grade school mean mean moons ago, and we get this substitute teacher in our math class, that didn't know one thing about math . This is because , this teacher was a P.E instructor. I can see that education was came a long way scents I was back in grade school. I must say that the school and teachers shouldn't be the only ones to be accountable for our kids education, we as parents should be responsible to.

responding to Ronnie Elliotts paper

The key word is adults . Most of us are attending college on a free ride, weather are parents are paying for it our were here on a scholarship . We made the choice to go to college , so if you don't want to go to class , why waist the time attending college in the first place. Someone has to pay for this education . If it's your parents that's paying for it, they had to work a lot of over time to save the money to send you to school . If your here on a scholarship then its the taxes payers that's paying for it . So it's childish to waist someone money. We don't won't someone throwing away are money.

The Dea(r)th of student responsibility

This article is about the complaints of the college instructors , not being able to get throw to most of the student in there classes. The biggest concern is the instructors fill that there students have no sense of responsibility. As a result the teaches fill like there wasting there time with some of there students . This article is also about the project that was held at two different colleges on student performance. This article shows how the project was given and the results of it.

Pathos :
Holly Hassel is an assistant professor of English at UWMC , and Jessica Lourey is a general education instructor at ATCM . Both of these Lady's had conducted a project of there students at there two colleges . The project was to focus on student responsibility . They had taken 666 students from one college and 529 from the other to conduct this test. These two Lady's looked at the students performances, and there educational choices . These students was asked about the amount of time they were spending on there home etc. The study showed that two-third of the student body puts in far less of the study time in on each of there class. This was very disturbing for the teachers .

I think that the technique that was used in the reading was very effective. The article show credibility of the two people conducting the test . It also showed how the test was being conducted , by questioning the students. It also showed the results of the test that was conducted. I was very pleased with the resource that was used in the study. They did a very good job.

This article hit on a lot of strong points made by the writer . It has became very evident that the teachers had become very annoyed . The article states that some of the kids going to college are just taken up space. The others are just doing an enough to get by . The writer suggest that high school kids have no idea on what to expect when they enter colleges. They enter college unprepared , and with leak of responsibility and knowledge on what is expected of them.

I strongly agree with this article, when the point of student lack of responsibility is concerned. Students are not being prepared for higher education . These young adult enter into college thinking that its going to be like high , or some kind of party town. Responsibility for getting there assignment's done in a timely fashion ,or just getting to class on time , becomes a problem . The teachers have a right to fill the way they do. The article suggest that teachers fill that there teaching to themselves.

High school was to proper these kids for college . But some were along the line this is not what happened.These young adults are not being prepared. Its said that colleges is were they start to grow up and develop some reasonable . I think this should start in high school not college . There are to mean parents out there keeping there kids from growing up. Parents need to stop the madness, and let there kids grow up. So then when they get into someones college class room they can roll with the program . Its very important that when these young adult get into college that there is a understanding that there responsible for them self . This is really life , mommy and daddy can't help you . You do the crime you do the time ! Just like in school if you don't do the work , you'll recevie a failing grade . There is not going to be someone there to hold your hand there life. Time to weak up ! Kids don't know what responiblty is , this has to be taught.
