Moving Around as a Child
So far in my life I have moved eight times and been to twelve different schools. I’m not talking about just moving houses. I’m talking about eight times, packing all of my things and moving to a whole different state. In all this I have learned the most important quality that anyone needs to get through all of the hardships and changes in moving. That quality is courage.
Courage is as stated in The New International Webster’s Dictionary of the English Language to be “the capacity to meet danger or difficulty with firmness.” In my mind courage has always meant doing what you had to do, and dealing with it because you had to. I never had a choice in my life whether I wanted to move to a different city or not. I just would get told one day that I had about a month before I had to pack up all of my things, say goodbye to all of my friends, say goodbye to my school, and leave everything I had know for the last year or so and move to a whole different place that I didn’t know. For a young child this can be hard. I learned early on, that I was suppost to “stay strong,” as my father always said. He would tell me that I had to be courageous, and a trooper through all of this and that it would be a new adventure.
That’s how I looked at it, as another challenge to face.
Courage has to be found deep within you. It isn’t always easy to find, as I have learned from experience, and every time a hardship or a difficult situation comes up yo...
Many people believe that to have courage, you must conquer something physically challenging. Courage is a quality in which the mind is able to confront any difficulty, whether that be fear, danger or even pain. Scout and her older brother Jem are both influenced by

Courage is the thing which can be found in a child to an old man. It needs a lot of courage to take out courage from the heart. It is like a brain. It depends on the person, how and when he uses it. This tiny word has the power to convey the whole gesture of a person. According to Harper Lee?s genius ?To Kill a Mockingbird?, Courage is when you know you are licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through it through no matter what.

You can not help but mourn, regret or feel sadness for all the terrible situations that happens in life but finding the optimism in everything can beat and even overcome the darkness that posses you, blaming others for unfortunate situations never helps. Courage can be as small as experiencing new thing in life that you have never tried before. Let’s backtrack here, what is courage exactly? People usually define courage as a term for a fearless individual or someone brave, but just being brave isn’t always what you would call being courageous. Whereas, the people who conquer their fear, the little darkness inside are the ones who are courageous. Just because you are quiet does not mean you do not have courage inside you, sometimes courage
Thank you for instilling the value of courage in me. Aristotle would say that courage is the “mean state in relation to feelings of fear and confidence” (Nicomachean Ethics, 1115a7-8). He argues that all people experience feelings of fear, but it is the approach that they take towards the thing that they are fearful of that determines their courage. A courageous person feels fear and acts in relation to fearful things. What Aristotle has said about courage, accurately summarizes what you have taught me. Courage is needed in order to live well as a human being and to live a good life.
To me having courage makes me feel stronger than ever. Courage is one of the things that helped me join NJROTC, and it helps me get through the days. Before I learned what courage was or even used it, I was too shy to even say my name out loud. But when I joined NROTC they helped me break my shyness. And now I see clear, I know in the future courage will help me stand up and make it to my goals in life.
This was a warning to all other cities that questioned his leadership. When he went to Athens few opposed him. He made a deal with them. Athens' rulers gave him war supplies and soldiers so that they would destroy the Persian empire. In 335. B.C. Alexander had an army of 35,000 Macedonians and Greeks marching towards Persia. When he met the Persian ruler Darius III and his forces, Alexander had found victory at the battle of Gaugamela. Even though Alexander's army was smaller, war tactics won the battle. After that battle he was known as the Lord of Asia in Asia Minor. The battle also earned him the title of Pharaoh in Egypt. Like the people in Asia Minor the Egyptians had suffered years of being ruled by Persia. After conquering many empires he founded his own city at the banks of the Nile called Alexandria. Throughout his campaign Alexander had adopted many cultures. He wore Barbarian clothes and ordered those approaching him to bow in the Persian manor. This had angered his soldiers. It was at the age of 25 when he became the ruler of Greece, Persia, and western Asia.After the many battles he had fought, Alexander's soldiers could take no more
“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what” (Lee 128). Courage is accepting a challenge even when all odds are against you. In Harper Lees To Kill A Mockingbird, many people, including Mrs.Dubose, Atticus Finch, and Miss Caroline Fisher put on an amour of courage before going into battle for something they know they wont succeed in. From drugs to court cases, courage needs to be put on like a suit of armor.
People with disabilities have become an integral part of the workforce. The ADA forbids discrimination against people with disabilities when recruiting, hiring, training, and compensating employees (Sotoa & Kleiner, 2013). The ADA prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in employment, transportation, public accommodation, communications, and governmental and establishes requirements for telecommunications relay services (activities (Stryker, R. (2013). Employers are not allowed to ask employees if they have a disability. The employers are not allowed to ask employees with disabilities to undergo a medical exam before an offer of employment unless all applicants are required to take the same exam (Kaye, Jans, & Jones, 2011). It is mandatory for organizations to make necessary accommodations for the employee’s disabilities unless it would create an undue hardship to the organization. However, new laws were passed stating that if accommodations would be too burdensome, and no other solutions can be found for the job, the disable person must be given another vacant job (Sotoa & Kleiner, 2013). The requirements for employers under ADA are very strict and organizations must work diligently to provide the needs of the employees with disabilities to comply with the law.
On July 26 1990 the American with Disabilities law was enacted This law became the most comprehensive U.S. law addressing the disabled.Society tends to isolate, and segregate individuals with disabilities.

Such critical areas such as; housing,public accommodation,education,communication,and health services.All Existence of unfair and unnecessary discrimination and prejudice will be eliminated. Anyone who denies a person or people an opportunity will compete will be breaking the law. This law enacted that all people with disabilities will be treated the same as everyone else. People with disabilities will not be denied because of their disability. No unnecessary discrimination or prejudice will be taken. This law has made it, so that people with disabilities today can receive tings such as; a house, job, health services,and an education. They do not receive any discrimination in such critical areas such as; housing,public accommodations,education,communication,and health services.
“Courage - a perfect sensibility of the measure of danger, and a mental willingness to endure it.” Courageous people understand the danger that they face when they act how they do. That is what courage is all about. Many historical events occur due to people having the courage to do what they think is right, or because of those who use their courage to do what they want. Having the courage to stand alone in one’s beliefs may be one of the hardest thing a person can do.
Since the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed in 1990, it has provided a means for individuals with disabilities to have reasonable accommodations in their everyday life (Harrison, 2002). The ADA was one of the the last civil rights acts passed by the United States Congress and was a hard fought victory for people with disabilities. Since 1990 the ADA has strived to help millions of Americans with disabilities live an happy and productive life. There have many studies conducted on the ADA and this will be a policy analysis critique on one of those studies. The study that will be examined is Tracie Culp Harrison’s Has the Americans With Disabilities Act Made a Difference? A Policy Analysis of Quality of Life in the
