... long board, which was about 3’11. After he went into the water and caught his first wave, it was then he knew he had found a brilliant idea. He teamed up with a guy by the name of Steve Lis, and made the first short board design in the US. They called it the “Fish.” When the short board first started to become big, there was a big rejection from many surfers. Most of the older surfers refused to convert from the long board. This is because of all the extra paddling and movement required for the short board. The newer younger surfers were stoked on the idea of the short board, but because the older surfers wouldn’t convert, it caused a serious generat ...
... (RCMAS), and the Children's Depression Rating Scale (CDRS). A research assistant administered the questionnaires to each child after admission. Following a structured interview with each child the assistant completed the CDRS. A member of the nursing staff completed the SSI after conducting a semi structured interview with each child and after observing his/her on unit behavior. Additionally, the one parent completed questionnaires like the SCL-90, PIC, and the DOTS. After this was done with every child two groups were formed by doing a split based on the SCL-90 hostility scores, and they were compared. The major findings in this study are that the presenc ...
... Dodgers and their owner became Walter O'Malley. He was the owner and president for the next twenty years. After that, he passed the team down to his son Peter. This is a great example of Jenkin's definition of Folk Culture. A very important item was passed down from generation to generation of O'Malleys, eventhough the item was quite massive. Throughout the years, however, the Dodgers were much a part of popular culture. Baseball was known as "America's Favorite Past-time," and still is. The tradition that the O'Malley family had with the Dodgers lasted until 1998, when a big corporation, the FOX group owned by Rupert Murdoch, took over the team. This was ...

They may also receive a number of scholarships to help pay for their education. Full-time students usually do not have a family or as many outside responsibilities. They usually only have a part-time job and still live at home with their parents. The time restraints that full-time students have are homework, studying and fitting their job schedule into their school schedule. These students can complete a full degree program in about 4 - 5 years. Part-time students are generally older, ...

... must sell. News organization use entertainment as a basis for getting the viewer to watch their news program. Manheim claims “that the media is not as diverse as it claims to be. He states, though for competitive purposes they might have us believe otherwise, most American news organizations have a great deal in common with one another…they define news itself in essentially the same terms (Manheim, 1991). Manheim argues that the media entertains the viewer rather than giving them information that is revelant and socially important. In a capitalistic society, news organizations are faced with many types of problems. Money is their number one conc ...
... Since it is a competition of who could bench press the heaviest weight in the gym. The worst that could happen to a man, is a women bench pressing heavier weights than them. “That is a woman’s come back to all men’ s insults. Women don’t have to insult men, they could just put them to shame by lifting heavier weights than them.”(69) This causes men to never say another word to women again. Many women believe that weight training is still a “men’s” sport. That is why they don’t make an effort to keep themselves fit and in good health. There are many older women between the ages of 45 to 64 years old who are suffering with the most common d ...

... anything he or she finds morally unacceptable. However, in “Bartleby,” Bartleby’s boss places no unjust laws and assigns no unjust work. He simply asks Bartleby to do easy tasks such as, “when those papers are all copied, I will compare them with you”, or, “just step around the Post Office, won’t you? And see if there is anything for me” (Melville 116). The boss, who is also the narrator, never requests Bartleby to perform any difficult chores. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s interpretation of an unjust law is, “a code that a numerical or power majority group compels a minority group to obey but does not make binding on itself” (Jacobus 159). ...
... we can imagine the incident step by step. When the farmer discovered that his barley crop was wet, in order for him to salvage the crop, he probably spread it out to dry in the sun. Chances are that germination had already begun, and the grain had therefore malted and developed a much sweeter taste. The sweet result of what the farmer considered a disaster is now modern-day malted barley. This malted barley gave a sweeter taste to breads, cakes, or anything which had previously been prepared with unmalted barley. After a while when barley malt became a common ingredient it is thought that a loaf or bowl of this malt was accidentally left in the rain. When w ...
