sherlock holmes in this paper!!
My Paper starting off basically on what i thought on teen pregancies. i basically used my knowledge to write this paper considering couple of my family members were teenage mothers. it was until the group peer review that a friend gave me some important pointers really helped me enhance my paper. for example, i did not know that there could be two sides to teen pregancy. therefore, put forth my sherlock holmes mentality and got to the bottom it. in the process i also found some very reliable sources. i was already having difficulties chossing a topic that i was really into. i started off with solar power, then dirty cops but in the back of my mind mr.moores words haunted me. he said he would prefer a local issue in the city of memphis. so after days passed i could not find a topic i was passionate about writing. then i was at walgreens restocking my hershey almond chocolate addiction when i look to my right and there they were. not one but two teenage mothers having a discussion on who will baby sit their children for a club event that was hosting a well known rapper.
No More Juno's!!!
Well hello hope the reader is doing swell. However, we are
working on a 12 page research paper and I chose teen pregnancy in Memphis, TN. I
chose this topic after the teen pregnancy epidemic that occurred at frayser
high school came about my conscientious. The incident involved 90 teenage girls
pregnant with child. Now this was not a pact that the girls made it just
happened to be. Also Memphis TN was stated as having double the average of Prego’s
in the nation. Many may not think this is a major problem but little do they
know. We spend billions of dollars YEARLY to maintain teen mothers, since the
majority of teen moms drop out of school and can’t afford day care or a
babysitter. Therefore, they cannot obtain a steady job to bring in decent
income. If the teen moms lack education the chances their offspring will too
are high. however, there is much debate on what the causes are that lead to teen mothers. some say it is lack of sexual education, while others point the fingers at the parents. most parents do not talk to their children about the birds and bees because they assume if the children ask then they are engaging in sexual activities. the other side says there should be classes on sex education offered in public schooling. therefore, it does not matter which method is best but that we at least TRY somewhere and something.

the man of the century!
This letter
was mainly directed to those religious leaders who have the power to do
something about segregation but don't. The purpose is to hopefully get the
backup from powerful religious leaders and end segregation. He communicates
this message very effectively to these men from his examples from Saint Paul and
King Solomon which is preached within the churches of these religious leaders.
He also justifies his nonviolent action by comparing it to "just" and "unjust"
laws with one example of Hitler. King claims there is no better timing for
something that has been at conflict for 340 years and that there was no
wrong-doing during this "sit-in." Martin Luther King Jr. is asking for the help
of the clergymen so they can move forward with Civil Rights. He is very professional and polite at the beginning which helps the audience to
really listen to what he has to say. When he really gets his point through is
when he gradually gets firmer and firmer throughout the text yet at the same
time still being polite. King portrays himself as one of the clergy men, but
one that has to overcome the many obstacles of the average African American. He
acts as a friend and yet in the middle of the letter he portrays the religious
leaders as an enemy that he hopes will reconsider their position on Civil
Rights.
easy, breezy, wonderful!!
Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovaltics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power(CSP). Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaics convert light into electric current using the photoelectric effect.[1]i got this definition from wikipedia. Solar power's most obvious and hyped advantage is its cleanliness. While nonrenewable energy sources like coal, oil and gas are contributing to global climate change and poor air quality, solar power represents a clean, renewable solution to those problems. Solar power is also beneficial to both developed and developed countries, allowing access to clean electricity and clean water for poor and rural residents around the world.Wind power is a very beneficial energy source but is still difficult to use in an urban environment due to the size of wind turbines. Other renewable energy sources simply do not apply to home energy production.

doesnt that just make you want to move?
their are a variety of communities to belong to , however in my community it is not that hard to see who dominates that area. one problem i would say is an issue in my community is race. i stay in east memphis and reality is the first day i moved in they wanted us out. my neighbor had no shame in her game when she approached me with the idea that every hispanic is a maid and most men are construction workers. i had various hate crime incidents with my personal property. for example, they broke into my car and stole my back but not my purse and they neighbor said to me , " doesnt that make you want to move?" could she be any more obvious that my type was not that acceptable there. however that has change over time my neighbors realized me and my husband were two newlyweds getting started. we were not drug dealers or cleaning lady as they protrayed my husband and myself to be. it is 2012 RACE is the last thing that some citizens locally , or globally should be experience. we live in a time where homosexuals are allowed, marijuana is legal in some states. Therefore, RACE should be of the least.
