Ernie Pyle
;When a machine-gun bullet ended the life of Ernie Pyle in
the final days of World War II, Americans spoke of him in the
same breath as they had Franklin Roosevelt. To millions, the
loss of him was as great as the loss of the wartime president.
Since WWII correspondent Ernie Pyle was so famous, his death on
the battlefront came as a shock to people around the world.
Ernest Taylor Pyle was born August 3, 1900 to Will and
Marie Pyle. He was born an only child on the Same Elder farm
just southwest of Dana, Indiana. His father, Will Pyle, was a
tenant farmer because he couldn’t make a steady living from
being a carpenter, which is what he really liked to do. Pyle
described his father, “He never said a great deal to me all his
life, and yet I feel we have been very good friends, he never
gave me much advice or told me to do this or that, or not to.”
Marie Pyle filled the role of family leader. She enjoyed tasks
at hand: raising chickens and produce, caring for her family
and serving the neighbors. Pyle describes her, “She thrived on
action, she would rather milk than sew; rather plow than bake”
(Tobin 6).
Through school Pyle loved to write. During high school he
was reporter, then editor, then editor in chief for his high
school newspaper. When he graduated high school, he too was
caught up in the “patriotic fever” of the nation upon America’s
entry into WWI (Whitman 2). He enlisted in the Naval Reserve
but before he could finish his training an armistice was
declared in Europe. After that he attended the University of
Indiana to study journalism, but left before he graduated.
Ernie Pyle persued his love for writing, and became a cub
reporter for “LaPorte Herald.” For months later he was offered
a $2.50-per-week raise to work for the “Washington Daily News.”
He wrote the countries first daily aviation column for four
years before becoming the papers managing editor. Pyle was a
reporter, copy editor, and aviation editor until 1932, when he
accepted a job for the “Scripps-Howard” newspaper chain. Pyle
loved to travel and persuaded Scripps-Howard executives to
allow him to be a roving reporter. Ernie Pyle was very excited
to be a roving reporter:

Throughout Australian history, there have been men and women who fought for the entitlements of the indigenous people. The most respected and recognised of these is Eddie Mabo, a Torres Strait Islander. Mabo stood up for the rights of his people from a very young age all the way to his death, in order to generate changes in the policies and laws of the government. Mabo battled for his right to own the land which he had inherited from his adoptive father, a fight which was resolved only after his demise. Despite this, Eddie Mabo became one of the key influential figures in the Aboriginal rights movement, as his strong will, determination, and intelligence allowed him to bring about change.
He has served as director in over 40 public companies and also serves as a
Leroy Anderson was born June 29, 1908 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His parents, as children, immigrated to the United States from Sweden with their families. His father, Bror Anton Anderson, worked as a postal clerk in the Central Square post office. He also played the mandolin. Anna Margareta Anderson, his mother, was the organist at the Swedish church in Cambridge. He lived in the suburbs of Boston for twenty seven years with his parents and brother.
Labor leader and advocate of legislative labor reform, Samuel Gompers was globally recognized for being a cornerstone in the sustaining legacy that is the American Federation of Labor. Gompers was born to a Jewish working class couple in London on the 27th of January in 1850. His childhood was short lived, for he was forced to mature early on. After only four years of receiving an elementary school education, Gompers was taken in and apprenticed to a shoemaker at the age of ten. He would quickly switch off trades and become apprenticed to a cigar maker in the east end of London; Gompers would continue with the cigar trade for a quarter of a century.

Addiction has been defined as "A primary, chronic disease, characterized by impaired control over the use of a psychoactive substance and/or behavior. Clinically, the manifestations occur along biological, psychological, sociological and spiritual dimensions (2)." While there is currently no category for video game addiction in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (3), which is the manual utilized to diagnose psychological disorders, video game addicts are often described by clinicians in the field as displaying many symptoms characteristic of other addictions. These behaviors include failure to stop playing games, difficulties in work or school, telling lies to loved ones, decreased attention to personal hygiene, decreased attention to family and friends, and disturbances in the sleep cycle (4). Withdrawal symptoms can even include behaviors as severe as shaking (5).
Inspiration The world has many photographers that anyone can look at. You can call me an amateur or say I don’t really understand the art, but when I look at most of the pictures available, and I have looked at thousands lately, I don’t see anything different in the style of photography. I just saw the pictures. I see pictures of beautiful subjects and pictures of ugly subjects. I never really thought about the difference between being the photographer instead of the subject, until I saw Elliott Erwitt.
Finally, video games addiction should be taken seriously because it affects gamers’ lives. Each individual should take prevention measures for this community problem and help people who are struggling with this addiction in order to avoid the harmful consequences. In time when computers are taking great part of our time we should try to keep in touch with the reality regardless of the appeal of the virtual life.
Throughout the American South, of many Negro’s childhood, the system of segregation determined the patterns of life. Blacks attended separate schools from whites, were barred from pools and parks where whites swam and played, from cafes and hotels where whites ate and slept. On sidewalks, they were expected to step aside for whites. It took a brave person to challenge this system, when those that did suffered a white storm of rancour. Affronting this hatred, with assistance from the Federal Government, were nine courageous school children, permitted into the 1957/8 school year at Little Rock Central High. The unofficial leader of this band of students was Ernest Green.
My first strengths to communication are (responsibility for communication) the meaning of responsibility for communication means when someone knows how the person is feeling, and when someone sees them self in their shoes of any person they are talking with. For example, a woman starts to talk to the men about her having problems about her job. Once the woman talks to the mean about the situation the man starts to feel what the women is feeling and understands being in the same situation she is in. in this kind of situations ,I’m understandable when someone is going through the worst time and other times I can relate to these people I talk to. When I communicated when people are going through a rough time I communicate with them by giving asking them the question about something good that has to happen to them. My last strengths are (Flexible). The meaning of Flexible in a conversation is when the person has a good way to talk and thinking about what they are going to say before they talk. For example, a kid can ask the teacher a question, but the teacher seems to be busy. So a way the teacher would be Flexible is for the kid, is by thinking about what she is going to say, to organize her thoughts before she communicates. When it comes to a situation where someone talks to me, and I’m busy, or mad what I do is think before what I’m going to say before saying something I will
There are studies that claim that those who are addicted to video games have a psychological issue which is video game addiction. They even came to believe that it may be a clinical issue. By unveiling the problem, a study of that was given to 8 to 18 years olds which was a survey to determine whether people are addicts when it comes to video games.
Mary Parker Follett’s “The Giving of Orders” in this essay addresses the complexities of given orders and received. She presents that it is apparent through observation and through psychology that you cannot get moderate results with people when orders are given, pressured, influenced or manipulated. She articulates the need for the change in habits and patterns in people and correlates it to administration and organization. She proceeds in her article to further understand through, analysis that consists of three things. The first is the “build up certain attitudes,” the second, “provide for the release of these attitudes,” and the third, “augment the released response as it is being carried out.” If these three things are implemented,
Video games are a popular form of entertainment in today’s society. People of every age play video games during their spare time, whether it is on console or computer. Video games now come in the form of millions of different categories and titles. Video game companies will do anything possible so that each game appeals to its audience. This makes a strong connection between people and video games. Video games are known to be time consuming and addicting. Games are also designed to be enjoyable for hours and have some sort of replay value. It causes people to excessively play video games and result in negative side effects. Excessively playing video games cause people to be socially inept, have aggressive behavior, and develop personality issues.
Game addicts cannot go on about that day without playing a game. They will spend at an average of twenty-four hours a week on gaming alone. Many game addicts forget about the everyday basic necessity such as eating, bathing and sleeping and continue on their games. Seungseob lee, a gamer addict who did not take care of himself, “played Starcraft for more than fifty consecutive hours at an internet cafe before suffering a fatal heart attack” (DAnastasio). The game addiction’s danger to health is tremendous mostly among adults and teenagers that are not under adult supervision. A solution to the game addiction problem would be simply prevent the person from accessing the game, but that also causes major problems. Brett, a gamer addict, thought of suicide when he wasn’t allowed to play his video game. He states, “At the time [I] felt anything had to be better than not being allowed to play Counter Strike” (DAnastasio). Brett ended up getting depression and started failing his classes. Brett cut himself away from the world and won’t even come out of the room. Excessive gaming can also “. . . induce pseudo hallucinatory-like experiences” (Clark). It happens when the gamer gets off the game after a long hours of playing. The gamer feels as if he or she is still in the game. One game addict claims to see and hear the zombies out the window of his home. These hallucinations can cause serious psychological and
Several years ago, technology and child’s play were not such as extremely developed as today. Thousands of teenagers have video game as their primary form of entertainment at home. The disagreement about violent video games is because they focus on several subjects such as violence scenes, pornographic content, racism and other resources. For many years, researchers have been debating if video games can cause dependence or not. However, an expert, Jack Flanagan believes video games have a really negative effect on a person’s life and even for children. Jack states that video game addiction exists, and can have the same effects as drugs and alcohol (Netzley 36-37). This shows that video game addiction can be like other addictions
