Money And Its Evil Charecteristics

People always say " money is the root of all evil". But you have to look at both sides of the argument. Money is not the only root of evil. There is other sources of motivation like jealously, greed, lust etc. But money is by far the largest root. Have you noticed that money is incorporated into a lot of our daily activities? We go to college to get a degree so we can get a job. We work to support ourselves. Money motivates people to unimaginable lengths . People kill each other for money, some rob for money, and others all over this world steal from each other . I believe money should not make you go againest your morals or personal ethics . It shouldn't change who you are or make you do things you usually would not do. Just think about it. You will be amazed when you realize how much of your day goes to money.

How the Economy is doing

I am tired of those people complaining about the economy is not getting better, well those jerks are just not trying to find jobs at all. There are jobs opening everywhere people get up and look for it, the job will not come to you, you have to go look and compete for it.

There are a lot places that are hiring such as Walgreen's and many more. If you can't get job in one place then look from another place you just have to keep looking for it and you will find a job. Just don't give up.

Big Fairs, Big fun, Big money

when it come to fairs they can be really expensive. you have to pay for everything you do. you have to pay to get in, pay to eat, pay to ride rides, and even to just have fun. fairs are a lot of fun but by the end of the day you can be broke! people never really see how much they spend at fairs until all their money is gone. i dont think it is right beacuse it is a place that brings the community together. A place to have fun and hang out with family and friends. i think the fair should lower their prices so more people can go and not worry about their money situation!

United States immigrants

im sick and tierd of people that think immigrants are not treated very well in america. the united states offers many different kinds of help to the poor and the needy. despite that there are many that think that think we need to do more. what the hell is going on. we americans expect everything to be perfect. thats not how life works. we need to support the efforts of our nation and move on. stop making immigration a big deal its really not. america is the nation of immigrants.

DI...ABETES...

So, why can't we find a cure for diabetes for so long, even when we have a new develop technologies...?? that's a good question,, maybe it's a business,, so other people can make money out of those who need medical for diabetes..

if that's the case,, are we going to let them die slowly,, because they will die at the end no matter what... and while they dying,, others are just having a really big smile because of how much they got in their banks... WOW what a life..

I think now is about the time we stop being greedy, and help others. By searching harder for a cure. of cause we have the new technologies,, why not finding a solution for diabetes.....?

East, West, North, and .... what was the last one???

Ever thought why new smart phones have apps that we usually dont use but need such as the compass or GPS? I've noticed that we rely on GPS/ Iphones to tell us the directions and if someone came up to us and asked us if we knew where North East was, we wouldnt know how to answer. It is important to know where South, West, East, and North is so we could get to our destinations faster and never get lost if our GPS broke, however, until this day few people know where it is.

This is a vid to teach us how to tell directions without a GPS/ Compass!

( My goal is to save myself a whole lot of time and just know where North, East, South, West is so I dont get lost on the OSU campus when I transfer to the main campus! )

Life in Somalia is very hard at this time because Somalia has had problems in past 20 years.

Many somalis came to United States and other countries to safe thier life and im one of them, i came to United States to safe my life.

competitive golfing

You think that golf is not competitive? Well then you have obviously never played a round of golf before. The sport of golf can make you more upset with yourself then any other sport. Golfers throw there clubs, throw there balls, and even snap their clubs into two. One guy even beat his club on his head until it was completely bent in half. Golf can turn even the calmest person into a mad man. Missing a putt from just a few feet away always causes a few swear words to be screamed. So if you think that golf is just an excuse for people to wear goofy pants, then you have to try the sport out for yourself.

Why take it out on us?

Most people think that working in a kitchen and being a hostess are easy. Well they are wrong they are two different jobs that both are difficult. The main thing is you have to please people in both jobs. Lack of effort in these jobs can result in a big angry mob of people. When working outside of the kitchen you work up close with the angry, rude and snotty people and when you are inside the kitchen you do not have to deal with the snotty, angry, and rude people. One thing that i can not stand is when people send back their food because, they are missing a slice of cheese so, you know what we do we stick it on another plate for them. Most of the time they tend to call us out and take our anger out on us directly.

"cell phone driving"

"cell phone driving" is one of the big problem cause crash, it will reduce the drive reaction while they holding the cell phone. because talking on cell phone while driving will reduce the driver's reaction, so that may be cause the driver fail to stop, or cross on the red light.look at that guy on the picture, he is probably talking to his girl friend, but he never know there is potential accident while he doing that.

"cell phone driving is not only affect the driver safety, but also the other driver's safety.

Difference countries can learn one goal education for all

All education it's a same but the way people learn is difference. Education depent way you want to learn. It can be preffesional learn. People learn in different ways. And no one has a better learning style than anyone else.The notion of the people from different cultural backgrounds have different styles of learning seems so reasonable, so intuitively sensible, that it is hard to believe that it is just not true.Because different cultural groups have different cognitive strengths does not mean that teachers should narrowly match their teaching styles to these patterns of abilities. Such an approach to education would be destructive.Learning educational is a making changes in one's knowledge, skills, values, and world views . The idea is helpful when it reminds teachers to expand the ways in which they teach. to pay attention to individual children and to the ways life is lived in different communities. Education is what everyone in the world needs to learn.Difference country's can learn one goal of education for all.

The Wendys Experience

Going to Wendy's for some people is an occasional thing and for other people it is an every day event. When you make it an every day event the money starts to add up and the greasy foods you eat every day starts to show too. Wendy's might have a value menu but that doesn't mean that everything will be a value. The combo menu prices are around five to six dollars. When you buy a six dollars meal everyday for seven days you would spend forty two dollars just for your lunch in one week. Each meal has that you get would be around one thousand calories too, this includes the sandwhich, fries, and a soda. So that would be 7000 calories in one week just for your lunch! In the end Wendy's should be an occansional thing and not an everyday event.

The chapter “lost at the movies” by Bill Bryson appears in the book I’m a Stranger Here Myself. Bryson in this chapter talks about privacy in America. He compares different methods companies use to spy on their employees. “It is perfectly legal indeed; it is evidently routine for the store to spy on you while you are trying on their clothes”. Bryson talks about this but he reads which is according to him full of alarming tales of ways that businesses and employers can and enthusiastically do intrude into what would normally be considered private affairs. “The business of changing cubicle spying came to light in 1983 when a customer trying on clothes in a department store in Michigan discovered that a store employee had climbed a stepladder and was watching him through a metal vent”. Bryson says nearly everyone in America is being spied in some way in America these days. In this chapter he talks about people and their experiences with being spied on and how they are compared. “In 1989, when an employee of a large Japanese-owned computer products company discovered that the company was routinely reading employees’ e-mail, even though it had assured the employees that it was not, she blew the whistle, and was promptly fired. She sued for unfair dismissal and lost the case. A court upheld the right of companies not only to review employees’ private communication but to lie to them about doing it”.

The Chapter “ the Numbers Game” appears in the book I’m a Stranger here myself” by Bill Bryson .The author provides how the U.S. economy is going downhill every second and the debt is increasing more and more. The congress will never cease giving a hand, recently voted to give the pentagon $11 billion more than it had asked for. $11 billion is a lot it. California has an economy worth $850 billion. The annual gross domestic product of the United States is $6.8 trillion. The federal budget is $1.6 trillion, the federal deficit nearly $200 billion. The America’s cumulative debt at last account, according to Time magazine, was slightly under $4.7 trillion. Well let’s try to grasp the concept of $1trillion. Imagine that you were in a vault filled with dollar bills and that you were told you could keep each one initialed. Let’s say you initialed one dollar bill per second and that you worked straight through without ever stopping. How long do you think it would take to count a trillion? It takes twelve weeks, two years and five.

If you initialed one dollar bill per second, you would make $1,000 every seventeen minutes. After 12 days of nonstop effort you would acquire your first $1 million. It would take you 120 days to accumulate $10 million and 1, 00 days something over three years to reach $100 million. After 31.7 years you might be as wealthy as bill gates. So imagine how long will it take you to calculate a “Trillions”, the U.S. are in a BIG debt.

The War on drugs

In the book I’m stranger here myself by Bill Bryson, wrote a good chapter about The War on Drugs. Bryson belives that we care more about people selling drugs or even people having them even if it was not theirs, then people who rape other people or people who have hurt others. He does not support drugs, but he is saying that we spend way too much money on something that is not getting better.
In this chapter he stated that the people in Texas turned down a proposal on building new schools but they said yes to building new prisons for people who a being convicted for drug charges. The drug bill was in its billions while the schools were in its thousands. Even if you did not know about having the drugs in your house the government will take everything even your house. Bill Bryson gave a lot of good facts in this chapter. Everything that was said was about a fact that he had learned.
Bills solution to this problem would be to spend the money they got and spend it on rehabilitation centers to get the people help. The prisons are getting too crowed and they are letting the wrong people out. People who raped someone is getting out before people who was found with drugs.

Friendly People

The chapter “friendly People” by Bill Bryson appears in the book I’m a Stranger Here Myself. .He's telling that the people in New Hampshire, are freindly people.Bill Bryson starts the chapter off by writing an article about the modern American life, when Mrs. Bryson tells him that he complains too much. As he states that America has it good qualities but what It also has a friendliness atmosphere. He then talks about his move to New Hemisphere, a state in New England. He discusses how the people were very friendly to them from inviting them to dinner, to bringing them furniture’s, to people leaving their car door unlocked. Mr. Bryson discusses the difference there and New York. He finally concludes the reason why people are not as friendly as they should be is because of the reality of the real world. Some lady tells him clearly “Honey, you’re not in the real world any longer. You’re in New Hemisphere.”

Junk Food Heaven Summary By Yoonis Robleh

The chapter “Junk Food Heaven” by Bill Bryson appears in the book I’m a Stranger Here Myself. Bill Bryson starts the chapter off by cleaning the refrigerator. Bill and his family never clean out the fridge; they put it in a box and send it to the centers for disease control. The reason behind the clean up was the cat has not been seen for a couple of days. Mr. Bryson declared to his wife he was going to go with her next time she is going to the supermarket. The reason for his sudden interest in the supermarket was because the food she bought was not American like. He was tired of eating healthy. Bill blames this on her being of English decent, thus not understanding the rich culture of American junk food. Bryson feels like he is in heaven. He was amazed with how many different kinds of cereal there was. Bill was shocked with the hundreds of types of cereal, especially the six different kinds of cookie cereal. He went on to say everywhere he turned he was something coated in sugar and very unhealthy. It seemed like most of the stuff there was junk food. Bill Bryson went through the store and noticed every time he turned his head he saw some new type of junk food. His wife allowed him to purchase everything he got but that was all she would allow him to eat. Nothing but junk food, and after a couple of days he was sick and tired of it. By the end of the chapter he was back to eating celery and Swedish bread. His opinion was that junk food has lost the taste and quality it once had. its very unhealthy and it is not worth it.

So Sue Me

The article "So Sue Me" can be found, along with many others, in Bill Bryson's book I'm a Stranger Here Myself. In this article he discusses that a lot of Americans try to find any reason they can to try to sue a person or company. He starts out by giving an example of what one of his friends in Britain went through. America sent the lead attorney and two assistant's from a case in America to Britain to talk to him just so they could charge the client more. He then goes on by telling us we have almost 800,000 lawyers, 300 for every 100,000 citizens while Britain has 82 and Japan has 11. He goes on to say that you can not sit down and watch television for 30 minutes with out seeing a commercial about a lawyer, which is completely true. He also incorporates a bunch of examples of how people got away with suing a company over stupid things such as parents trying to sue a high school baseball coach for benching their son claiming mental anguish and humiliation. He also talks about how we are paying more for all the things we buy because that company needs to make up for being sued. He gave examples of cars, football helmets, heart pacemakers, and even haircuts. In this article he is basically just stating that Americans love money and will try anything to get some even if it means taking it from an innocent company over something stupid or simple. This is why so many company's are spending money on settlements because its cheaper than being sued. He then goes on to say that "Allied with the idea that lawsuits are a quick way to a fortune, whether deserved or not, is the interesting and uniquely American notion that no matter what happens, someone else must be responsible" (Bryson 204).
