Once I explained exactly what a living will is because some were unaware they were very comfortable with the idea of filling out a living will. The responses that I got all varied to different degrees. My brother stated that he did not yet have a living will but that they are very important to have and everyone should get one. He said that his wishes would be to pretty much “pull the plug in every circumstance”. He absolutely did not want to be put on life support, be artificially supplied with food, or get life sustaining drugs, machines, or other medical procedures. My mother had wishes the same as I would have which is to consider the circumstances and give me a month to evaluate if I have the possibility of making a full recovery. If there is no hope of having a full recovery then I want all life sustaining measures to be stopped because I don’t in any way want to be a burden on

A property risk is something that happens to your property. A liability risk is if something happens to you but it is not your fault. An example of personal risk is if you are an athlete and that is how you make your living it would be wise to incer the body part you use the most just in case you injure that part. If you are a runner you will likely incur your legs so if you break them and can no longer run you will get them paid for because you can no longer run. An example of property insurance is if something like an earthquake were to happen you will be insured in the event that your house falls apart. An example of liability risk is if you are driving you car on the street and you get hit by a drunk driver or something where it is not your fault but there is damage

Insurance is as ancient as Babylon. The first policy dates back to 2100 B.C.; specifically, it is the Code of Hammurabi. A loan from a trader made certain his valuable cargo traveled safe from the harm of thieves or storms (Marples). The term changed drastically through the ages, and insurance is now a mess of premiums, tiers, and co-payments. It may most commonly be known as a negative number on a check stub that ensures health and safety.

One of the most harrowing experiences in my life was Superstorm Sandy. I remember looking out of my window and seeing the sidings of my house hit my car. The eerie noises of the storm kept me up all night. And the prolonged power outage that accompanied the storm took away simple every day necessities such as heat, lighting, and the internet. My house did not face many physical damages. A few sidings on the face of the house were torn off and a few of our trees in the back yard had broken and fallen to the ground. The interior of our house was not affected at all by superstorm Sandy. All of our neighbors had flooded basements which ravaged their belongings. My neighbors were devastated by the damage that water flooding had caused them. They lost many old family photos that were not digital and could never be replaced. A few of my neighbors have finished basements. Their basements consisted of items such as TVs, stereo systems and many other expensive gadgets. All of these expensive items were damaged by the water flooding. Along with these items, the water damage in the basements caused many of my neighbors thousands of dollars in repairs for wet walls and wet carpets that needed to be replaced.
