Research Papers

I love doing research papers because it allows me to do a subject that I like or know a lot about and can inform people on it more. I chose a topic that I am really passionate about and care really about, I chose the topic of Pit bulls and how they are misread and have a bad rep because of what people just assume of them.  I have two other blogs about how I feel about the breed and don’t want to give you the same information that I have in the other blogs also.

Fallacies

There are fallacies all over the world that are wrong, you see all of the ads or posters of models that are toothpick skinny and have everyone thinking that is the ideal image of someone when it isn’t. The axe commercials also always have the “hottest” actor with the best fit body on it trying to sell the product and then guys think that after they buy the product that it make them hotter and or more popular. I don’t think this is the right way to sell products but that is the main way consumers do it now and its sad, it has young teenagers also trying to fit that one look of the model into their own lives and has some kids become anorexic.

Don't Judge before you know

I had an earlier post that was about McDonalds that had posted an ad with chicken nuggets and a pit bull saying which one you would choose to eat. I have a lot of respect for the breed not only because I have owned pit bulls since I was little but because no one really knows how loving and caring the breed can be until they own one themselves or a friend/family member does. The history behind the pit bull is that they came into the world around the same time as Mastiffs did and they also get the same rep as the Pit bulls. They were used for protection from animals and people that would be trying to harm their family or friends, people then saw how loyal of a breed they are and either had them down the path of fighting or being a loving/caring animal in their home. This is the picture of my pup that just turned three years old. Her name is Storm and she has never bitten anything in her lifetime, I love her to death she is like a kid to me.

The Glass Castle

The book The Glass Castle was a good book to read, every sentence had me pulled in even more and reading till the book finished. I would encourage people who haven’t read the book to defiantly read it, the book will tug at your heart and know how some people live and hard it is on them throughout the life to have possible dysfunctional families. The book just keeps your reading wondering what will happen next and if everyone will end up being ok. I don’t want to tell you too much about the book, I do want to encourage people to read it though because it was an awesome book.

Overwhelming

Overwhelming

At this point in the end of the semester I do feel overwhelmed with all of the homework and finals that we do have. I do end up setting everything else in life a side and just focusing on school until finals and school are over with for the semester. This school semester has gone by really quick and I didn’t expect it would, I have learned a lot from this writing class. I have improved my writing a lot by learning to watch my spelling and sentence structure.

When I begin to feel overwhelmed I do feel like I won't be able to finish my work to the best of my ability. I know the items I do need to work on with writing is keeping on the one topic and not rambling on to make the essay or letter longer. I do feel this is how I look when I get stressed out, I do find ways to calm myself down, like surrond myself by people that love me and will encourage me.

Functional or dysfunctional family

I believe that living in a household that has a family member drinking heavily and possibly having an alcoholic in it; it would lead into a dysfunctional family. The reasons being that family member would be coming home at any times of the night or even morning and possibly being violent. It is proven that 1 out of 5 kids in America are also affected by having a family member that is an alcoholic in the family; they tend to not focus in school, not to have friends and to also have a depression.

                I would say that a functional family would be there and support a family member if they were going through those troubles and try to get them help, which would show the love and support that is actually within the family. They wouldn’t be spending their spare money on liquor or things that they don’t need, they would use all of it on items that they need for them or their family.

Mcdonals Ad

Mcdonald's had an ad asking what would you trust more touching?, it was a picture of a kid grabbing chicken nuggets and then the other picture was of a someone petting a Pit Bull. This is the ad to the right, it didn't make me happy at all because I am an owner of a Pit Bull and grew up around them and have never been bitten or even growled by one.

Most people do judging of Pit Bulls from past stories that they hear about the breed being in fights and etc. It really is all upon who raises them and how they are treated when they are raised.
