Weekly Writing Someone I know that has propensity to get in trouble is my dog, Zoie. She is nine dog years old and is a schnauzer/retriever mix. Firstly, she is alway finding something to eat or chew up. Secondly, she will poop and pee in my room. Finally, when we take her on walks, she will alway stick her head in the ground and sniff and eat. These may not seem like very big problems, but they have bad consequences. One instance, she eats my trash in my bathroom. On busy mornings I will sometimes not close my bathroom door all the way. This is always a mistake on my part. Another instance, is when she pees, poops, or throws-up in my bedroom. It’s usually on days when we fill her water bowl up to much, we can’t get home from school fast

    1265 Words  | 3 Pages

    “Mom! Mom! The dogs got Cody. The dogs got Cody” (Vancouver Sun, 2007). Just a few days after Christmas in 2004, these are the cries that awoke Sheri Fontaine. Fontaine raced from her bed into the living room to find her three-year old son, Cody Fontaine, savaged by the dogs that were staying temporarily in her house. Tragically, young Cody did not survive the attack. A young life taken, a mother’s life ruined. Sadly, this story is not as uncommon as one of violence against people, they exhibit highly stubborn characteristics that make them difficult to control, and such bans have proven to be extremely effective.

  • Taking the Bite Out of Dangerous Dogs in Marion County

    1113 Words  | 3 Pages

    Nationwide, approximately 50 percent of all children will be bitten by a dog before they reach the age of twelve (DeIorio, “Have a Dog-Bite-Free Summer”). In Marion County, Florida, aggressive and dangerous breads of dogs are a “serious issue” for the community according to Marion County Commissioner Jim Payton (Thompson, “County drops '1 free kill'”). Responsible dog owners seem to be unaware of the problem but area residents who have been victims of these attacks have turned to the Marion County Board of Commissioners for help. The local County Commissioners have been wrestling with this issue since October of 2009 when a widow from Ocklawaha, Patricia McBee, had three of her dogs euthanized after they allegedly killed her neighbor’s cat (Thompson, “County drops ‘1 free kill’”). The need for change moved even faster after a 3-year-old little girl was attacked and killed by a dog that was chained to a tree outside her house in Citra (Lee, “Girl, 3, mauled”).

  • Lies In Society: Pitbull Terrier

    1357 Words  | 3 Pages

    Currently, pit bulls have been reported by the media with very horrific and disturbing news of having attacked a child or being shot by a police due to aggression while some are reported to have been abused or neglected by its owners (Forderer and Unkelbach 534). And because the reports keep coming with heated discussions, more and more people have forged a frightening image of pit bulls even to the extreme of refusing to take care of such breed. Pit bull advocates claim that the dogs get a bad reputation considering that people should learn the dogs are not inherently aggressive. What the pit bull advocates would like to point is that the owners of the pit bulls should be considered guilty for mishandling of their own dogs. There are owners of pit bulls that even encourage the dog to be aggressive in order to fight and protect them in a wrong manner and wrong degree of training (Forderer and Unkelbach 536). Pit bull advocates claimed that a well socialized and well trained pit bull would be very intelligent and could be one of the gentle dogs imaginable.

  • Violating Social Norm Essay

    715 Words  | 2 Pages

    A social norm is classified as a standard expectation of what is the correct or deemed acceptable conduct that a member of a society has. The social norm that I chose to violate is the one where as I describe, you evade people’s personal space. What defines giving people their personal space and not getting too close, is that out of respect in my opinion, people need to have space to breathe and to move. If you get too close to people, either the person is going to think you are sexually intimidating him or she, you are just creepy, or even worse think you are rude for intimidating a right people have to be inches away from you. As I was getting ready to do the assignment of monitoring the reactions I would get for violating any social norm of my choice, I had a hard time thinking about which social norm I was going to

  • Unethical Behavior Essay

    599 Words  | 2 Pages

    Unethical behavior is a behavior which is not morally correct. When one is encouraged to embrace unethical behavior and actions, they are "trapped." They are psychological in nature, and such traps distort perceptions of what is wrong and what is right. One actually ends up believing that his or her unethical behavior is right and ethical. If one is not aware of their behavior it is hard for them to tell if their behavior is actually acceptable and ethical. Just like in the Stanford Prison Experiment, the volunteer guards adopted to their new roles. Within hours of beginning the prison experiment, some of the guards began to abuse their power and harass prisoners in that experiment. The volunteer guards behaved in a sadistic and brutal manner.

  • Coercion Essay

    1203 Words  | 3 Pages

    Coercion can be defined as forcing someone to do something they do not want to do. In order to determine if coercion will be successful or not one has to look at four key principles: communication, capability, credibility and compliance or “target will.” While the peace settlements after World War I could have been considered coercive, they probably had very little chance of success based on these four stated principles. France communicated that it wanted unreasonable demands including unlimited reparations for the war. Without Great Britain and the United States, France had little capability in enforcing the settlements. In addition, it had little to no past reputation of being able to support its decision in upholding the settlements. Finally,

  • He Who is Attaked by Animals

    2105 Words  | 5 Pages

    One day my mother, unknowingly, made our situation worse. She went to visit her best friend, Molly, who was a fellow animal lover and member of the Lincoln County Humane Society. Molly would occasionally invite our family over for dinner, and we always went, never suspecting her underlying scheme to rid herself of annoying and potentially dangerous pets. She had collected these animals through the years from abusive families. Molly was quite a character. It was amazing how she could manipulate a conversation about her grandmother's spaghetti recipe to how much my mother would enjoy having one of her smelly goats or pissed-off fighting cocks as a pet of her own. I didn't understand how these conversations could persuade my mother, yet they worked every time.

  • Essay On Family Tension

    892 Words  | 2 Pages

    An extremely common theme from my interviews was the tension felt from family and peers. From very early on children are taught what is expected from them as either a male or female. Now at first, this might seem like a simple concept of just how someone raises their children, but there is more to it than that. Britney, during my interview with her, said how she felt that “gender expectations are just stereotypes.” This is a great example of gender stereotyping through socialization. Tension is caused by my interviewees’ differing views from the people they have tension with whether it is family or friends. The older of my two interviewees, Ahmed and Bernadean, had a stronger sense of tension between them and family members. Sexism,

We didn’t mind when she bought it, we were sure all kids would love it. But, on the car she insisted having the package of gummies (opened by us) to be right next her. Bad idea! By the time we got to the campout five hours later, the gummy bears were all gone. I didn’t know where they were and I hoped the kids at the Campout weren’t upset, it was fine until my mom asked,”Where are
