Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in Kentucky. When
he was two, the Lincoln’s moved a few miles to another farm on the old
Cumberland Trail. A year later, his mother gave birth to another boy,
Thomas, but he died a few days later. When Lincoln was seven his family
moved to Indiana. In 1818, Lincoln’s mother died from a deadly disease
called the “milk-sick.” Then ten years later his sister died and left him with
only his father and stepmother.
Lincoln traveled to New Salem in April 1831 and settled there the
following July. In the fall of 1836 he and Mrs. Bennett Abell had a deal
that if she brought her single sister to New Salem he had to promise to
marry her. When she arrived he was not to pleased with her because her
skin was full of fat. Around seven months later he asked Mrs. Orville
Browning to marry him but she said no. Lincoln met his wife to be, Mary
Todd, at the grand cotillion in honor of the completion of the new capital
building in 1839. They got engaged and a while later he broke off the
engagement because she was seeing other men. Around a year later in
Springfield on November 4, 1842 Abraham and Mary got married. In 1844,
Abraham and his wife were able to purchase their own house in
Springfield. It was a one-and-a-half story frame cottage. In May 1843,
the Lincoln’s had a son and named him Robert, after the addition to the
family they made the house a full two story house. Lincoln had three
more sons Edward Baker, William Wallace, and Thomas. Edward died at
the age of three, the cause of death was either consumption or
pulmonary tuberculosis.
In 1832 Lincoln announced himself a candidate for the state
legislature but he was defeated. Then a year later he was appointed
postmaster of New Salem and in the fall he became deputy county
surveyor. He really wanted a seat in the Illinois legislature so he ran again
and was elected with bipartisan support.
Lincoln was very interested in being a lawyer, he would walk fifteen
miles just to watch the court cases in Boonville, Indiana. Lincoln got a
license to practice law after several hard years of teaching himself. By
the early 1850s, the Lincoln-Herndon law office had become a leading
Springfield firm.

cornered him in a burning barn near Port Royal, Virginia. Seven men and
one woman were arrested as accomplices to Booth. Herold, Paine, and
Atzerodt were the most active accomplices and were sentenced to
death by hanging. O’Laughlin, Arnold, Dr. Mudd were unjustly accused
with helping plan the murder, but got life sentences. Edman Spangler got
six years and Mary Surratt was sentenced to death for having Booth’s riffle
waiting for him that night. On July 7, the three men and one woman
were hung.
Lincoln did not stay buried at the Oak Ridge Cemetery. His body
was kidnapped by a band of ransom-hungry grave robbers, therefore, his
body was moved around for the next 36 years. Lincoln was then buried
at a spacious memorial of eight acres but grave robbers struck again and
as the coffin was half out the police showed up. Under Robert Lincoln’s
instructions a hole thirteen feet deep was dug below the main catacomb
floor, a four-foot base of cement was laid and an iron cage sunk into it.
The coffin would be lowered into the cage and cement poured, creating
a block eight feet deep. Finally, Abraham Lincoln can rest in peace.

The purpose of this investigation was to identify an unknown bacterium. “At any time there are millions of bacteria living around, on, or inside us” (The Plague). Bacterium can’t be identified by merely looking at it. Many bacteria have the similar appearances in growth. “In most cases, detection is based on the reaction of an enzyme with a certain substrate” (Sigma-Aldrich). Identification is usually based on the results of the bacterium’s cells metabolic capacities.
Not only this, but this style has also been recommended for teachers to take on in the classroom as the preferred classroom management style (Bassett and Synder 2013).
... readiness to connect with their children, implore their opinions and use reasoning to gain the looked-for behavior, and “Nurturance” is related to parental expressions of warmth and support, and protection of children’s physical and emotional well-being. Using these four dimensions, Baumrind identified four parenting styles: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive-indulgent and permissive involved (Greenwood, 2014). With knowing about all the parenting styles, when I have children I will raise them with the authoritative parenting style.
Adam Smith an 18th century economist and philosopher once remarked, “ The real tragedy of the poor is the poverty of their aspirations”. Over 1.3 billion people today live on a dollar a day or less, yet due to its interconnectedness, multidimensionality, and wide ranging relativity, the condition of poverty remains nearly indefinable (Birdsall & Londoño,1997, p. 32). For the sake of this paper, poverty will defined as: A situation in which the level of living of an individual, family, or group is below the standard of the community (PAHO 2014). Often times, because of its complexity, individuals examine poverty through its influences known as the Social Determinants of Health (SDH): “The complex, integrated, and overlapping social structures

Successful parenting may be judged by many different standards. Raising a child to be a respectful, mature, and independent adult requires a great deal of effort. There are several parenting styles, and not all lead a child to reaching their full potential. Overpowering sternness leads may lead to a rebellious child, while passive parenting may lead children to inept for the challenges of adulthood. Parenting requires more than teaching children submissiveness, or building of self-importance. Children learn best from a role model who is admirable. Parenting is a great opportunity to set the course of one’s entire life in the right direction.
The Franco-Prussian War (also called the Franco-German War) was a military conflict between France and Germany that occurred from 1870 to 1871. The idea of a unified German nation was very popular at the time. The other major nations of Europe feared that a unified Germany would be a threat on the global stage. Germany had recently been victorious under Chancellor Otto von Bismarck in 1864 against Denmark and 1866 against Austria. These victories helped “establish Prussia as the dominant power among the German states” (“Franco-Prussian War”). Bismarck negotiated an alliance with the southern German states and prepared the Prussian army for war against France because Bismarck saw “French opposition as a major obstacle to German unification” (“Franco-Prussian War”).
The United States, a country who has prisons filled with juvenile delinquents. Many of the offenders are arrested for status offenses, but there are also offenders who are incarcerated for serious crimes. Are these offenders getting the treatment needed to succeed after their release? Are the punishments in the juvenile detention centers creating more problems? Is the juvenile justice system addressing the needs of those juveniles participating in the system? The answer to these questions will be answered from viewing three separate documentaries on the juvenile justice system.
Parenting styles have the capacity of influencing a child’s social, cognitive, and psychological growth, which would then affect the child both in their childhood years, and as an adult.
Juvenile delinquency is one of the major social issues in the United States today. Juvenile delinquency, also known as juvenile offending, is when “a violation of the law committed by a juvenile and not punishable by death or life imprisonment” (Merriam-webster.com). Although we have one justice system in America, the juvenile system differs from the adult juvenile system. Most juvenile delinquents range from as low as the age of seven to the age of seventeen. Once the delinquent or anyone turns the age of eighteen, they are considered an adult. Therefore, they are tried as an adult, in the justice system. There are many different reasons why a child would commit crime, such as mental and physical factors, home conditions, neighborhood environment and school conditions. In addition, there are a variety of effects that juvenile justice systems can either bad effects or good effects. Finally there are many different solutions that can reduce juvenile delinquency. As a result, juvenile delinquency is a major issue and the likeliness of it can be reduced. In order to reduce juvenile delinquency there has to be an understanding of the causes and the effects.
Scientists and health officials have been arguing the detrimental effects smoking has on our health for many years. Smoking can lead to serious complications including asthma, pancreas, lung and stomach cancer due to the large number of carcinogens (cancer causing chemicals) and other various substances added to it. It is a health hazard for both smokers and non-smokers and it is especially harmful to unborn babies. Although smokers claim that it helps them to relax and release stress, the negative aspects of the habit take over the positive. As it has been stressed by the scientists and experts, there are some very severe reasons of smoking but its crucial consequences should also be taken into consideration.
