Top Of The Mountain Four People
827 wordsOn a cold Friday night, we all met at the Church's parking lot. It was 7 PM and the sky was clear, which ensured me that this would be a safe trip to Vermont. It was around mid February, so it was quite cold out. There were about forty kids and about ten advisors that were going on this ski trip. Some people had their own skis, others like me, had to rent a pair of skis. Also, a few others had snowboards, which were a lot harder to use. Finally, around 7: 45 PM, all the equipment was loaded up i...

Men And Women Cultural Context
1,199 wordsThroughout the history of anthropology it has been a popular view that people are largely products of their culture, and not the other way around. Yet culture is an exclusively human phenomenon. While it is true that everyone lives within a cultural context, and that context accounts for varying degrees of who that person is (indeed, there are those who say that certain people are wholly products of their culture), the reverse is also true. Each person, then, has some degree of impact on the cul...

Declaration Of Independence Homosexual Marriages
1,041 words... miles with same-sex and opposite-sex parents were quoted at the September 1996 Circuit Court trial in Hawaii, where the original case for homosexual marriage was tried. The studies showed that the genders of the parents are unimportant to the quality of child-rearing, but that family breakdowns are very harmful to children. Under these grounds, these studies could actually be used to support the homosexual position in that a committed homosexual relationship would be more stable for a child ...

Wal Mart K Mart
1,028 wordsI live in Mentor, Ohio, a suburb about thirty-five miles east of Cleveland. It used to be all greenhouses, until a few decades ago when it began the process of commercialization, along with other neighboring cities. Big-name stores moved into town, slowly at first. After awhile, along came a shopping mall and stores such as K-Mart. These businesses really began to change the community for the better. As the area became more developed, more people moved there. Eventually Wal-Mart made its way int...

Jake Burton And The History Of Snowboarding
586 wordsTwenty five years have gone by since Jake Burton Carpenter started making snowboards. His company today is the most successful and largest manufacturer in the world for snowboarding.

Small Schools Volunteer Work
559 wordsAnother factor is the assessment value of property. Resort areas, retirement communities, and expensive second homes sit on land assessed at a higher value than agricultural land. In Vermont, for example, schools in districts with a large tax base, such as in a wealthy suburb or near a ski resort, may invest $ 11, 000 of state and local funds in each student every year and still have a relatively low tax levy. Residents in a poorer, neighboring urban or small-town district could tax themselves m...

Rite Of Passage Hazing Incidents
1,293 wordsIn our society today, violence can hardly be ignored. Murder, rape, theft, and many other potentially violent crimes are committed like clockwork. Sad, enough, violence is in our human nature. As a young man, I can remember how cruel little kids, including myself, were. Senseless insults and physical abuse are almost normal growing up, no matter what your sex or economic and social background may be. It seems today that children know the concepts of hazing before they know what the word means. M...
