At a young age, a boy by the name of Michael Joseph Jackson becomes a mega pop star. With his afro, short stature, and big brown eyes, Michael's talent at singing makes crouds scream his name and the people of the world cannot get enough of him. Although he loves his talent, his career as an artist deters him from finishing grade school.

After years of being on tour with the Jackson Five and now almost twenty, Michael is compelled to redeam his childhood. He becomes increacingly more interested in children, and belives he is a life like Peter Pan. Although his compassion for children is on the rise, so is his career as a solo artist. Michel releases more albums until Micheal Jackson becomes a house hold name. By the Early 90's he is at the peak of his career, but things have changed physically and emotionally.

In her article, “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack,” Peggy McIntosh writes about the privilege white individuals get without noticing it. McIntosh talks about how whites are taught to not recognize their privilege. McIntosh having a background in Women’s Studies, she also talks about how men have more privileges than women, yet they rarely recognize it. In the article McIntosh claims that “After I realized the extent to which men work from a base of unacknowledged privilege, I understood that much of their oppressiveness was unconscious.”
The Great Depression began in 1933 due to poor economic planning and a crash of the stock market. This depression lasted until the late 1930’s and ended because of the help Franklin Roosevelt provided. He set up a variety of programs ranging from food allowances to unemployment. These programs as a whole were referred to as, The New Deal. Many New Deal items, such as the job program, created many jobs for small town areas and large-scale cities. This job idea dropped the unemployment rate and eventually led to The Great Depression’s

Elvis Aaron Presley, in the humblest of circumstances, was born to Vernon and Gladys Presley in a two-room house in Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8, 1935.

The New Deal, established by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, was a series of programs put into affect to fix the Great Depression that the United States was currently in. Beginning with the crash of the stock market on October 29, 1929, America was plunged into its most severe economic downturn yet. Roosevelt developed this plan to save the country. At this time the people of America were in a huge economic unrest. Most in America were homeless or unemployed. Roosevelt created his programs to help these exact people from poverty. He assured the people of America that his programs would help the crumbling economy, mass unemployment, and low wages. This chain of programs raised both nationalism and national character throughout America for a few years. The author of this excerpt had a very negative view of FDR’s work and critiqued every program within the New Deal. Roosevelt’s programs have many long-term consequences, some of which are still in effect today. Most of the programs still in action were modified in the 1960’s, these are the present day welfare programs that most people are accustomed to. While the New Deal was not entirely successful, Franklin D. Roosevelt did the best he could with the time and circumstances given.
Let us take a look at the most important factor that determines the health of our adult relationships; that is infant attachment. From the time that an infant is born, those around him influence the way a child will act or react in any given relationship. It provides a firm foundation upon which all other relationships grow. The idea is that the success of all relationships is dependent upon the success of the first one, namely, of the bond between the infant and his mother or primary caregiver (Brodie, 2008).

Before, I could even take note, it was already October. It was time for me to pack everything in my room, and say my final goodbyes to my family members. I was going to leave everything that meant a lot to me behind. Previously, before October, we picked up my dad from the airport so that he could help us load all of our belongings to the U-Haul truck. Lily, ‘my cousin’, (we aren’t related, she is just a very close friend who I consider family) was staying with use because she want to see her father, who was also living in Denver. My mom and dad, sister, uncle, cousin, and I all stayed at the house one last night. I remember that my sister said that all her friends gathered around my mom’s car to wave goodbye to her. Her closest friends got very emotional and they started to cry. Not only did the move affect me, it also affected my sister greatly. It was like someone had given her a punch in the stomach. By the next day, we had everything in the U-Haul truck, and it was time for me to leave my precious Vegas behind. We had now started the drive to
This psychologist constructed three different types of attachment that a caregiver and child can exhibit, those being, secure, insecure-avoidant, and insecure-resistant (Anderson, 2015). Secure attachment is defined as the caregiver’s promptness to attend to their child’s needs and to be a dependable “safe base” so that the child can wader about their environment worry-free (Anderson, 2015). When the caregiver is no longer present, the child displays emotions of being upset and condenses their exploration, but they eventually calm down because they are certain of their caregiver’s return (Anderson, 2015). Ainsworth’s insecure-avoidant attachment is when the caregiver does not readily attend to their child, and the child independently explores their environment with no regard to their caregiver (Anderson, 2015). The child is very standoffish and shows little to no emotion when the caregiver departs and returns (Anderson, 2015). Insecure-resistant attachment is when the child experiences a great deal of distress when the caregiver leaves, but refuses interaction with them when they return. Here, the child rarely moves around in their environment because they are in extreme distress upon their caregiver’s departure (Anderson, 2015). “One common misconception about attachment is that there is only one figure that can stand as the caregiver, and the chosen one is the mother” (Anderson, 2015). A child can have multiple attachments, but they are not necessarily equal because one is usually the primary, as others are secondary (Anderson,

Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana (Sullivan 1005). His parents were Joseph Jackson and Katherine Scruse (Sullivan 1005). Michael was one of nine children. Michael and his siblings were not allowed to call their father “daddy” they were to call him Joseph (Collins 8).

They were married for two years, and had no children. Lisa filed for divorce in 1996 (Sullivan 1014). That same year Michael married Debbie Rowe. Five months after Lisa divorced Michael, Debbie became pregnant with his first child, Michael Joseph Jackson Jr. It could be concluded that Michael married Debbie because she was carrying his child. Michael and Debbie wed on November 14, 1996 after one of his concerts. On April 3, 1998 Debbie gave birth to their second child, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson. Their marriage ended in 1999. “In 2002, an unidentified surrogate mother gave birth to Michael’s third child, Prince Michael Jackson II” (Collins 23).
