The Liberty Bell is a symbol of American independence and is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The government paid around 100 pounds for the bell (A&E Television Networks). It was once rung in the tower of the Pennsylvania State House, which is now called the Independence Hall. This bell was used to call the lawmakers to meeting and the people of the town to hear the reading of the news. Isaac Norris is the person that ordered for a bell in 1751, and on the first ring the bell cracked. Once
Cognitive Abilities in the Workforce: What is True Intelligence? The “Kenyon Commencement Speech,” by David Foster Wallace, explains the intellectual thought process of how people think in the white-collar business’s higher-income lifestyle, while “Blue-Collar Brilliance,” by Mike Rose, depicts how a blue-collar worker develops great cognitive skills through working a lower income job. While these passages have separate settings, in which one shows the life-style of college graduate in commission
In the article, “Blue-Collar Brilliance” by Mike Rose, he begins with an anecdote of his mother working her blue-collar job at a diner as a waitress. Rose vividly describes her common day that is packed with a constant array of tedious tasks she has to accomplish to make her living. The authors goal appears to be making the reader appreciate the hard work of blue-collar workers because society places a stereotype on them as being less intelligent than someone with more schooling or even a white-collar

EPD markets have been shifting as a result of decline in military spending by government. The result

Local Government Meeting Paper On January 23rd, 2014 I attended an Allentown School District board meeting at 7:30 pm. This meeting was just a regular board meeting instead of an education or financial meeting that they also have during the year. Since this meeting was the first board meeting I have attended, I didn’t really know what to expect. Would it be like a jury where members vote? Or would it just be a run through of how the year is going? Turns out that it’s a combination of both and it
In a correctional setting, if the correctional officer gets complacent or decides to do the bare minimum work then an array of things can happen. With the case of the of a union work slowdown due to budget cuts and likely layoffs it can produce many ethical dilemmas. A correctional officer has duties “referring to those actions that an individual must perform to be considered moral.” (Pollock, 2016) This will also bring up ethical formalism which tells the officer to do your duty, but when there
When presented with the opportunity to leave the world in a better place compared to when you entered it is an opportunity that cannot be passed up. A career as an engineer allows me to achieve my goal in life, which is to ultimately help people. I decided in my sophomore year of high school that I wanted to become a Chemical Engineer.

In all of my travels across the United States of America, the `hottest' vacation spot hands down is in Key West, Florida and the `coolest' place to travel to is Denali National Park in Denali, Alaska. These vacation destinations are the two most beautiful and most relaxing places in the nation! I personally have experienced a week of enjoyment at both locations and find myself wanting to go back to each of them in the future because I had such a great time. Even though these are both awesome places
In this chapter, it goes over many different types of law such as civil law, administrative law, case law, criminal law, etc. I am going to focus on the essence of the concept of crime within the variations of law. Although many focus on the main three principles of crime which are the criminal act, mental state and a combination of both, there are five others that have equal importance. Those five are labeled as causation, resulting harm, principles of legality, principles of punishment, and necessary
Should Public Schools Require Uniforms? Imagine having to wake up and put on the same thing you wore the day before and the day before that! Schools uniforms are becoming more common in today’s society. I think that school uniforms have more negative effects than positive. Even if you push a child to wear something that they are not comfortable in they will begin to act out. I believe that public school should not require uniforms. Uniforms take away our ability to self-express. School uniforms should
