People I have been influenced by

Many people have influenced me through out my life.

I have chosen only one person to talk about today. This

person is my girlfriend she has influenced me in many

different ways. In this paper I will explain some of the

ways she has had an influence on my life.

This whole thing started about one and a half years

ago I was in the 12th grade.I met a girl named Brandi

Morton we started talking to each other and then we went

on a few dates. And you know as well as I do what happens

after a few dates. You go on more dates and then you

consider yourself boyfriend and girlfriend or dating. One

of the things that I noticed about this girl is that it

was in December and she was wearing flip flops. So after

we had been dating for a while summer was here and I

really did not wear sandles but she insisted on me buying

a pair of flip flops. So I tried them out and now here it

is in January and I am still wearing them right along

with her. So I dont think she is crazy anymore for wearing sandles in the winter time.

Up untill just recently I had a bad habit that a lot

of people share unwantedly. I had a smoking problem it

was not bothering me very much. But Brandi did not like

it at all she kept telling me not to do it, but you know

I still did. I just decided I would not smoke around her

so I tried not to be around her when I had been smoking.

But that did not work she would surprise me and come

visit me then she would get upset because I had been

smoking. So finanlly I decided to quit smoking completely

and now when I see her I dont have to worrry about her

smelling smoke on me or tasting it on my breath.

Here is a little something that she influenced me to

do. For a while I had been thinking about getting my

tongue pierced.Well I talked to her about it and we

agreed that it would be a good thing that we both would

enjoy. So the day before Halloween I went to a place

called Tattoo Charlies and got it done. I was surprised

    A black boy born today in the U.S has a life expectancy five years shorter than that of a white boy. Black students are significantly less likely to attend schools offering advanced math and science courses than white students. There are three times as likely to be suspended and expelled, setting them up for educational failure. Black men in their 20s without a high school diploma are more likely to be incarcerated than employed. This list could go on, but the idea here is that African Americans are still struggling to be on equal footing with Caucasians. Because of the harsh treatment in the past and the injustice that is still occurring, many black people are still fearful of being stigmatized. The police force are there to protect everyone, but when police officers intentionally choose which groups they are going to protect, they become authority figures that we cannot

  • Compare And Contrast The Black Panthers In The 1960s Vs Today

    347 Words  | 1 Pages

    America went from a major civil unrest during the 1960s, and it might be going from or might go from the civil unrest, but it is definitely different from what it might perceive. Many conditions had arisen and are still arising which might create the illusion that the America today is parallel to 1960s, but it is completely different if we comprehend the issue on a deeper level. Two big groups, I would compare will be the “Black Panthers” in the 1960s and the “Black Lives Matter” today. This example will decipher the difference in their approach to a problem and their effects, no matter how much the things are looking similar (their fight for black people rights). One big difference is Black Panthers simply monitored the law enforcements in

Jody genetically preferred the company of girls compared to boys during childhood. Jody considered herself a bisexual male until the age of 19. At 19 years of age, she became involved with a man, and her identity would be transgender, meaning that Jody was unhappy with her gender of birth and seeks a change from male to female. It would seem that there was some late-onset dissatisfaction, and late-onset is linked to attraction to women; in comparison to early childhood-onset, which are attracted to men. Jody identified herself as bisexual. The relationship with the man ended; nevertheless, Jody’s desire to become a woman consumed her, and Jody feels that’s he was born in the

  • Feminism In Octavia Butler's Kindred

    1158 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the past, white women had been in a considerable part of slavery. White women are one of the many reasons why slavery happened. Slavery would not had arised if white women did not do anything to support it. Since women were separated by their races and skin color, neither the slave women nor the white women showed any feminism to each other. Feminism is the advocacy of women’s rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes. In the past, the only people that did not have equal rights were the slaves. This was another reason why there were not strong advocates of feminism. Since white women had more rights than their slaves that they were fine with not having the same rights as their husband’s. Octavia Butler’s Kindred shows how women supported

  • The Evolution Of The Oppression Of Black Women

    551 Words  | 2 Pages

    What is a black woman's position in this world? Where exactly do they belong? These questions pose as a response to the racism and sexism, that black women endure that ultimately impacts their lives. During the 60’s and 70’s, black women often found themselves lost, not having a exact position in which they belong to. There was the civil rights movement along with the feminist movement, but where exactly did women of color fit in? They played a pivotal role in the movement, but received little recognition in return, more importantly they were seen as invisible. What claimed to be the “feminist” movement, fighting for the equality of women, proved itself to be fighting only for the equality of white upper-class women, and forgetting about the oppression of black women.

  • The Claim of Alcoholism

    1029 Words  | 3 Pages

    Someone with 20 years of continuous sobriety is just as likely to relapse as someone with 20 days ("Alcoholism"). To some programs, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, the ongoing battle of excessive drinking is defined as a battle with a disease (Kneale, and French). By defining alcoholism as a disease, it takes away the self-blame that one should feel for fueling such an addiction. When one does not hold themselves accountable for their actions, it is difficult for one to evaluate how to effectively resolve the issue at hand. A disease is more of an uncontrollable condition that needs medical attention, whereas an addiction can be resolved with a little persistence and desire for life alterations. Defining alcoholism as a disease makes it appear as though no one is at fault for their actions, since when did people stop holding themselves accountable for their own actions and behavior? Alcoholism would be more suitably defined as an addiction as opposed to claiming it as a disease because it exists due to one’s actions.

  • Contemporary Conflict In Feminism

    1342 Words  | 3 Pages

    Feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploration and oppression. The movement is not about being anti- male but a clear problem of sexism. It is not a system of giving women more rights but to alter the way society sees women and to bring an end to patriarchy and sexism. In our era, it is a time where different ideologies and groups struggle for domination which is very evident in the equality of women. Women struggled to fit into a ‘world of the male’ which was centrally domination, power and sexism. A vision of liberation for women was one which captured the public imagination as representing women as wanting what men had. For women to represent themselves as an activist feminist it was important for them to confront their own sexism towards other women and to be completely accepting of each other and this could help push towards the direction of feminist movement could shift to a focus on equality in the work force and confronting male domination and this is how gramscis defines hegemony as a process of domination. Whereby one set of ideas subverts or co-opts another (Gramsci, 1971) and this is what was happening in society, the male population exerts leadership over the female

  • The Beer Game

    With most aspects of life it is frequently the failures, as opposed to successes, from which we learn the most indelible lessons. With this approach in mind, The Beer Game to a large extent serves as the very antithesis of a properly functioning supply chain. In other words, the exercise demonstrates how NOT to manage a logistic operation. Hopefully, an examination of the pitfalls and shortcomings of a worst case scenario and avoiding the same types of mistakes will lend insight how to correctly manage a supply chain. What otherwise appears as a simple classroom exercise actually represents a powerful training tool with enduring lessons directly transferable to real world application.
