During WWII there were many great tactics that all the countries leaders had, weather it was japans attack on Pearl Harbor in Dec 7, 1941 or weather it was the united forces of Stalin, Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill to form the power three. But no tactics were quite as impressive as the tactics that Hitler and Stalin had. They used propaganda and the loyalty of there men to help them dominant the war. These two leaders had what in their minds the greatest way to help their countries. If these leaders wouldn’t have made so many mistakes during the war they could have won the war.
After the devastation of Katrina, mid-city changed forever. The schools, churches, homes, families, and neighborhood changed.

Just remember the next time you hear about sugar, spice, and everything nice. It might not be all it’s cracked up to be. Instead, just look over your decisions that put you in trouble towards your diet. One thing that I came across during this research paper was by a man named Jeffrey Rossman, who has his Ph.D., his words towards this topic was to be kind to yourself. To end the struggle with sugar, learn to nourish your body well and respond compassionately to your own feelings. The best sugar substitute is genuine self-acceptance. By learning more on the problems we Americans face by consuming too much sugar, I have made myself more aware on self-decisions towards my eating habits. Hopefully every ones’ eyes will open when they hear about how much excess sugar we consume, but in all reality it’s only going to help a few. That’s better than none though!

We are all familiar with sugar. It is sweet, delicious, and addictive; yet only a few of us know that it is deadly. When it comes to sugar, it seems like most people are in the mind frame knowing that it could be bad for our health, but only a few are really taking the moderate amounts. In fact, as a whole population, each and everyone of us are still eating about 500 extra calories per day from sugar. Yes, that seems like an exaggerated number judging from the tiny sweet crystals we sprinkle on our coffee, but it is not. Sugar is not only present in the form of sweets and flavourings, it is hidden in all the processed foods we eat. We have heard about the dangers of eating too much fat or salt, but we know very little about the harmful effects of consuming too much sugar. There still isn’t any warnings about sugar on our food labels, nor has there been any broadcasts on the serious damages it could do to our health. It has come to my concern during my research that few
The Epic of Gilgamesh has many similarities to the Bible, especially in Genesis and it’s not just that the both begin with the letter “g”’! One major similarity being the flood story that is told in both works. The two stories are very similar but also very different. Another being the use of serpents in both works and how they represent the same thing. A third similarity being the power of God or gods and the influence they have on the people of the stories. Within these similarities there are also differences that need to be pointed out as well.
The purpose of this source is to evaluate and compare prisons with the death penalty. Prisons are meant to protect society, punish convicted criminals, deter criminal activity, and when possible, to rehabilitate criminals. However, there is an increase of incarcerated criminals due to rising populations and longer life expectancies. This may lead to an experience similar to facing capital punishment. Prisons will experience poorer health care and levels of sanitation, bigger risks of violence, and the likely hood of diseases. This type of environment violates constitutional rights, morals and ethics, as well as human rights. This situation could encourage the idea to thin out the population, or to abolish the death penalty because prison is a hellhole.

Other studies have shown that video games can be used as way to yield positive outcomes such as, good problem solving skills, cooperation in a group and the ability to flow. Although there has been psychological research on children learning through the actions of others some believe that children are automatically able to distinguish between what is just a game and what is reality. The longer they are allowed on their game system the more they become convinced that their games are real. Some researchers believe violent video games can channel the aggression of the child but the parents are to blame for what happens to the child after playing an excessive amount over a period of time. Children can become preoccupied with these violent video games which have been proven to be the cause of poor social skills, uncontrollable aggression and a false reality.
