Introduction to Slater's
Slaters was founded in 1918, and since then, the name Slaters has
become virtually synonymous with that of the town itself.

In 1912, a single site car repair and paintshop business was opened on
what was then the main road between Chester and Anglesey. Subsequently
sold to Captain Slater in 1918, this garage is today the site of
Abergele's Kwik Save Supermarket.

In 1923, Harold Knowlson the father of the present Chairman and
grandfather of the current Managing Director took over the running of
Slaters with his partner, the late Mr Harry Budge.
This started a unique association with Abergele that has seen both the
company and town grow and thrive together in a way never more apparent
than today. The family firm has now grown into the town's largest
single employer, with 150 men and women working from eight separate
sites.
Today Slater's reputation for quality, service and customer
satisfaction extends far and wide with customers regularly travelling
to the town from as far afield as Manchester, Liverpool and North-West
England.

Slaters has long embraced ground-breaking ideas designed to help their
customers even in the very early days. Colin Knowlson, Managing
Director, explains:
"Motorists needs were very different in those days - and car
reliability was also very different. In the early days - soon after we
had introduced North Wales' first paint spraying facility - Slaters
was a motorist's landmark because it had the first petrol pump on the
road from Chester and this initiation was followed by a
'shilling-in-the-slot' petrol p...

1. Briefly describe each of the Wes Moore’s. Include information you believe is important to their life path (community, family life, big decisions, etc.).
Appelbaum’s article primarily focuses on the case of Michael Hugh Mirsky, who tells his personal story which highlights the struggle many men in America face. In 2012, Mr. Mirsky initially had lost his job working at Verizon which snowballed two years later into a conviction for resisting arrest. Due to the conviction, work is hard to find and this led to the threat of foreclosure of his home. Mr. Mirsky is unable to afford child support payments for his 8-year-old daughter.
In the eyewitness account encountered by Dr. Elwood Harvey, he saw a brutal auction of slaves in front of him. He saw the slave’s clueless faces when they slowly walked up the platform in front of many greedy future owners. All of a sudden the slaves got a glowing eyeball of fear realizing they were about to be sold. The slaves broke into complete chaos: some hid, some collapsed, some tried to keep close to their family, and some stood brave on the platform. The slaves stood there not wanting to be sold to the dreadful deep south. Some stepped up onto the action platform bravely trying not to cry in front of thousands of owners. The owners stripped all them naked to inspect them closely to see if they are right for their labor. They separated
Health and disease do not have a straightforward definition. It has been altered by many people in many points of history. For example, Boorse, Nordenfelt, and Wakefield are all philosophers that have defined what it means to be healthy. I am going to explain why Wakefield’s harmful dysfunction theory is the most plausible. First, I will briefly explain each theory. Next, I will determine whether Amanda Baggs would be considered healthy according to their definitions. After I examine Amanda Baggs, I will defend Wakefield’s harmful dysfunction theory and why it is the most plausible. Lastly, I will consider an objection to Wakefield’s theory as well as a reply to the objection.
As history is written, people will analyse it. These opinions range from support to the actions taken to extreme disagreement with what has happened. In some cases, people will use this to try and write the next chapter of history. One of these people is Chris Hedges. Since 2007 he has written a multitude of essays that take a deep look at American foreign and domestic policy over the years. His overall conclusion is that there needs to be some sort of revolution in the United States to solve its problems. While I agree with the majority of his analysis, I do not agree with his conclusion. I will examine two of the essays he wrote, to call to attention my specific complaints. I will also be commenting on two of the sources he uses in each essay.
Scott Angelle, Former Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana and gubernatorial candidate, gave a powerful speech at the Rally for Economic Survival Event hosted at the Cajun Dome in 2010. His target audience was everyone affected by the oil and gas industry, from the taxi driver to the soccer mom. His message was that he will transform Louisiana back into the energy powerhouse it once was through policies that support the energy industry, which will in turn allow the economy to prosper on both the state and national level. In contrast to the policies instated by the Federal Government, such as the drilling moratorium, which inhibits the growth of the industry.
Agoraphobia is derived from the Greek words agora, meaning “gathering place” or “assembly” which was used to describe a city’s marketplace, and phobia meaning “fear.” It literally means "fear of the marketplace." Carl Westphal first coined the term “agoraphobia” in 1871 to describe people who were afraid of large open spaces. Since then, the definition of agoraphobia has been modified and continues to develop as more research is done. (Barlow, 2002, p. 328) The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (5th ed.; DSM–5; American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013) defines the essential trait of agoraphobia as "marked, or intense, fear or anxiety triggered by the real or anticipated exposure to a wide range of situations." (p 218) It is the most common phobia. To further understand agoraphobia, this essay will explore the characteristics, causes, being a Christian with agoraphobia, and the treatments.
The story examines fate and code of conduct of the Misfit and the grandmother. The story is thought provoking, disturbing and challenges one's perspective of what one may consider right or wrong. There is also a degree of selfishness behaviors that raises questions about the characters ability to show empathy freely despite their disposition. The Misfit affirmed his code of conduct by an injustice, he is not able to recall the crime and there is no paperwork to substantiate the crime. He said, "I call myself The Misfit, because I can't make what all I done wrong fit what all I gone through in punishment" (O'Connor, 1953). Therefore, his moral code is not about what is right or wrong, but what he perceived as gratifying. The question is, whether
The first Wes Moore is introduced through a story of him playing a game with his sister. The game ends with him punching his sister, which his mother witnesses. She becomes enraged and makes sure Wes realizes the wrong of his actions. Meanwhile we learn a little more about his mother, Joy. Such as she is from Jamaica and she was beat by her past husband. Then Wes’s father becomes sick and is told to just rest by doctors, but he ends up falling down the stairs unable to breath very soon after. He dies on the ride to the hospital in the ambulance. Then the first Wes’s mother starts to sleep on the couch as a guard against their increasingly dangerous neighborhood. She is deeply troubled by the death of her husband and asks to move back in with
Anders Behring Breivik was a Norwegian extremist and a terrorist who had bombed a government building and then shot and killed a number of youths at a camp. His actions were not impulsive, but instead meticulously planned. For years he fostered feelings of hatred and aggression, particularly after his failed businesses and his involvement with the right wing terror organization whose ideology was on anti-Islam and anti-mulitculturism. Breivik perceived that Muslims were invading Europe and conspiring with politicians to take over Norway. Hence, his decision to destroy the present and future politicians of government. Allport (1920), in his theory of Social Facilitation, fleshes out the impression that the presence of others (the social group) can facilitate certain behaviour (McLeod, 2007).
In contrast, the Other Wes had Moore of a fixed mindset. Fixed mindset, as defined by Dweck in her article Bornology means that an individual believes that their talent is fixed. For instance, if we give a quiz of 5rd grade to 4th grade students, the Fixed mindset student will think that they are not enough smart for this quiz and will not try their best to solve the questions, while the growth mindset students will try to solve the questions. Indeed, Fixed mindset individuals thinks that their intelligence can’t improve and they don’t even want to try to learn new things. Similarly, in the book “The Other Wes Moore” by Wes Moore, the other Wes Moore dreamed of becoming a professional football player or becoming a rapper. The other Moore’s
Education can be affected by your family background. In the story The Other Wes Moore, Wes went to a private school where he was surrounded by positive friends, because his mother didn't like how the town was getting involved in drugs. Joy wants the best for Nicki and Wes, so she used her previous experiences growing up in the Bronx to make her decision. The other Wes Moore went to public school where his only influence was his friend Woody that only cared about having a good time. Wes Moore had a 90 minute train ride to school every morning; the other Wes Moore only lived 15 minutes away from his school. In school it can be hard to do well without having any friend support behind you, but it could be even more difficult to have some friends who care and some who don't. Wes lived in the Bronx, and hung around his neighborhood friends Ozzie and Paris. Unfortunately, Ozzie and Paris judged him for going to a private school. At such a young age being pulled back and forth between two different types of friend groups can be confusing.
“The Other Wes Moore” tells a story, two boys that has one name, but their lives are not
Martin Buber 's Scale of Interaction is a concept that interprets communication between two individuals. Buber wrote that there are levels of how people treat one another based on how they converse. When a person speaks with an attitude that the other is considered an object or a thing it is labeled as “I-It”. For example when a person purchases a drink many of the time there isn 't a drive to get to know the person or have a meaningful conversation. If a person speaks to someone with somewhat of an equal relationship, they may not be friends but are acquaintances would be “I-You”. The last one, “I-Thou” is when you and the person are friends and have a strong mutual relationship. On Thursday September 1st, I started my face to face log for my interpersonal communication class.
The movie is by far the most famous work of Sergio Leone's and probably his best movie. Not only because it has become a part of our culture, but it also created its own sub-genre the spaghetti western. Despite the film’s western roots, the movie is free of any western clichés as any western themes are given either a unique twist or are removed by Leone's unique way of storytelling. The movie is constantly taking the cowboy hero approach that most westerns take and twisting it in new ways. For example, making the main hero morally grey, almost a scumbag anti-hero of sorts. He forgoes making the main hero an Everyman heroic cowboy who saves everyone gets the girl and ride off into the sunset like most westerns. Instead Leone goes for a more
