Things haven't really changed, even since the Middle Ages. Certainly we have more technology now, different modern day countries, and the human race improved a bit. By a bit I mean, people still relate to each other and treat each other as they always have, even when they shouldn't, especially in the Middle Ages.…

    I think the six hour work day shift is a good idea only for people whom may have a health issue or have a second job already. People should have to work atleast eight hours a day. " So no I do not believe that the United States should become standard for only a six hour shift. " All though Frace and Sweden have already started the six hour work day they stay out of office meetings and are working productivity I still strongly believe the United States should not push this to be the normal because without group meetings at work how do you know if your doing your job right? You don't so the six hour shift will not benefit us in any way!…

    Essay 2: Learning from Behind the Screen When we think of video games the first things that come to the minds of parents are things like “this is too violent” or “they spend too much time behind the screens and not enough time studying,” but video games can be used to help students, not hurt or distract them.

Anthony Gurr talks about the general misconceptions involved…
