Misuse of Cellphones In this day and age technology has become huge, from texting to social media. Having a cellphone is important for everyone to have, but is it being misused? I believe so. Cellphones went from being something that people use as a helping hand, to something that most people cant live without. This technology has a lot of good uses, but most people don’t use it for those purposes anymore. At this point in time cellphones are becoming an addiction, younger children are getting introduced to it, people are losing important social skills, and there are other dangers that can be brought upon someone just by misusing a cellphone. In recent months I’ve come to notice a lot of alarming signals from people when they're out with their significant other, family, and friends; everyone is on their phone. Nobody is talking to one another, nobody is making eye contact, and nobody is expressing themselves the way they should be. Years ago, when cellphones weren't an issue, people were able to sit with one another without thinking about who is texting them, and what picture their ex posted on Instagram. Cellphones are becoming a huge addiction and people are falling deeper and deeper into this trap. I have also come to notice that many children are getting introduced to cellphone; for example, the iPhone. Many parents feel that its okay to let their toddler flip through their phone while they’re busy doing other things. Yes, it may be very convenient but from then on that’s all they want, your phone. I have also read articles months ago about how many toddlers are delaying in their motor skills; for example, many toddlers already know how to do the swiping motion to unlock the screen on an iPhone or iPad, but they don’t know how to build blocks. Reading about this was very eye opening for me. Especially because it made me notice things that I didn't really notice before. Like my baby cousin, he is two years old and is beyond obsessed with his mother or fathers iPhone. He can’t eat without watching something on it.
For many years, there has been an issue raised about men being eligible for maternity leave at work. I believe that this issue is somewhat a double standard and puts men in a hard and very upsetting position. Men should get just as many advantages and all the benefits of having a new baby as the mother does. They are having a baby, not just the mother. Within the relationship, the paternal role during pregnancy is very intense and important. The male is not physically carrying a baby, but he has…
Baseball is not the easiest sport to play. Trying to hit a round object exceeding speeds of 90 miles per hour with a baseball bat is quite the challenge. It doesn’t help that in the past three years high school and college baseball were both forced to switch to a BBCOR baseball bat. The BBCOR bat is a downgrade from a BESR bat. Basically they designed the bat to have less recoil, which makes the ball travel at slower speeds off the bat making the distance the ball travels upon contact shortened.…
“Single Parents In Todays Society” With America's current, long running recession showing no signs of slowing, it is more difficult than ever for single parents to afford the necessities for raising children. Our Department of Human Services programs are decreasing weekly. With inflation rising and the value of the dollar steadily dropping, childcare is almost impossible to afford and maintain. Food, clothes, medical care, and school supplies are also more expensive than ever. An increase rather…
an opinion. Anything that reasonably can be debated is an argument. A simple argument paper usually presents a debatable opinion and then offers supports in favor of it, or sometimes an argument paper will discuss both sides of an issue and then give good reasons for choosing one side over the other. For example, a paper about space flight might argue that humans should not spend large sums of money in sending people into space. The paper might then argue that three good reasons this is true is…
Full-Body Scanners in Airports Kaylah Loftis ECPI University Abstract In this paper I will discuss why it is ethical to have full-body scanners in our airports.

With the proposal of HB 1380 in Oklahoma, which would rework the AP US History curriculum, AP courses have come under fire all over the country. What do they actually offer students? Do they violate legislation that bans Common Core? Are they even worth it? I’m here to tell you that yes, they are, and for several reasons: AP classes provide a positive environment for students, give them the opportunity to achieve their best, and often provide an edge for those entering, or attempting to enter, college…

According to the Center for Food Safety, a national no…
Argument Essay Pride and success have been preeminent throughout men, but being successful means one should take pride in their work, but not cross the line into arrogance. Therefore one’s pride can be a source of motivation, but also accepting the mistakes and failures in order to be successful. Yes, pride brings the sense of being superior and the feeling of being greater, but what is the point if one doesn’t see a single mistake in them self? J.K Rowling known for being the author of the famous…
