The google search strategies that helped me the most was in the time range it was posted and "not yet visited". They cut down things that change most of the search. For example, when I used the not yet visited it opened like a whole new page i didn't review and found on of my answers like that and when I selected within the year it gave me better results. The one I didn't really find helpful was when I used "-" the minus sign because it didn't really do anything gave me same results, so wasn't useful in anyway. They were all knew to me, regardless I learned something new so it helps knowing this. I will apply them in all I can because it is a big help for me. I'm planning to use it more than anything because it does make a difference and especially not knowing this before makes me want to use it more since it narrows a lot of things down.

How do the Democratic and Republican positions on the “fiscal cliff” differ?
Democrats want higher income earners to pay more taxes and Republicans have a preference to raise federal tax revenue by limiting deduction instead off raising the rates. In 2 of the sources I found I learned that a lot of Republicans have lots of comments of what they want to do.

Love
We all learn about love, we experience it at least one time in our life. The most common type of relationship are the young ones! There are good and bad experiences from being in love but regardless if that person makes you happy you make the best of it. Love is an unexplainable feeling that you get when your around someone you really care about.
In All About Love by bell hooks, she talks about all the aspects that love needs. For example: Respect Justice, Honesty, Self-Acceptance, Self-Love, etc. I personally think that it's hard to choose which one is the most important aspect when dealing with love because love is something serious and you could experience them all at the same time. When it comes to talking about love you think about a lot of things maybe from a good or bad experience. Regardless of the situation being in love is something amazing because it's something you hardly get to experience on daily basis. In one of the presentations we talked about commitment and how we have to love ourselves to love another person. They also mentioned how having a high-self esteem your able to commit to yourself and to others, and i agree because before you do something you have to be okay with yourself.
When it comes to forgetting about the aspects of love i think that everyone forgets about honesty because we lie everyday and we don't even notice it. Without honesty you can't build trust and without trust there's no relationship. This is how relationships fall apart. In the presentations they mentioned that honesty is a big aspect of love. If were so capable of being in love than we should be capable of keeping honesty in a relationship. People forget about honesty because of the environment there around. What I mean by this is that when were around certain people we want to satisfy them and tell them things to impress them. Being in love can cause so much lies between one another because people try so hard to impress someone.

-Social Work
-Psychology
Career Option:
-Counselor
-Nurse
-Physical Therapist
-Psychologist
-Social Worker
Reflection:
I can honestly see myself doing one of these jobs. What's pretty crazy is that I was actually thinking of becoming a Nurse. I enjoy helping others and just knowing that I'm helping in a good way is what I like because that feeling is just great. This helped me a lot because I still am kind of clueless in what life will be after high school. This made me realize that there are more jobs out there I can look into. That being said this exercise connected to what I originally had in mind but opened more choices for me to look into.

Who is your hero?
A hero to me is someone who strives for happiness for others, always being there for one another, and not being all about attention. Someone is straight from the heart and always wanting the best for others.
My hero is my mom. She is my hero because she has been through it all. She is the one that tells me what is right and what's wrong. She always wants what is best for me. I see her as my hero because she has a lot of guts to do things but not the one that would put herself out there like hero's in movies. The only people she would ever stand up for are her kids, lucky me I'm one of the four. She inspires me to do my best because she went through a lot of things in life that made us who we are to this day. The motivation she gives me I can't get from anyone else because the relationship we have is unexplainable. Edward Bloom was so in love with Sandra Tempelton he did the impossible to be with her and that's how i see the relationship i have with my mom that I would do anything to see my mom happy, like she would with me. She isn't like Master Legend or Mr. Extreme that spend everyday trying to save lives and wonder around the streets at night because like I said her kids are her happiness and she watches over us at home. When me or my sister do something we aren't suppose to, she is always there and doesn't loose hope in us.
Another hero I have is my sister. She is like my inspiration because I learn so much from her. She motivates me to do better when I'm breaking down. Me and her have this relationship where no one I mean no one can understand. We never keep anything from each other, and when times are tough were always there for each other. I feel like since she's the first child she gets life more than I do. She's a hero to me because she's someone I can go to for anything. She helps me learn from her expierences. Like Edward Bloom, he did whatever it took to get Sandra, I would do anything for my sister. She's different from your ordinary heros because her strive is to always have a great unity with family.

Do we need a hero?
I think that in life we all need a hero. From what I learned in class, there are heros everywhere and sometimes they aren't the most noticeable people because it can be anyone. It doesn't have to be someone covered in a suit and has a title, it can be family, someone that you look up to, a friend, a close relative, pretty much anyone. Yes, heroes aren't your ordinary people because ordinary people are just boring, and if we were all ordinary life would be the same for everyone.
I personally think that society does need a hero because we are all going through tough times, especially with the economy. We need someone to realize that they're people having a hard time that raising prices is affecting everyone not just poverty people. Raising food prices, gas prices, etc.. it changes a lot of things and it makes people want to be more careful in necessities. We need someone to stand up for us and someone that actually sees what people go through in every day daily bases. We don't need a hero that dresses up and is use to saving people's life and making it a job we need someone who actually cares and wants to make a change.
The hero we need is the type that's dedicated to do the difference and make the difference. It's hard to find that type of person but one day someone will stand up for the nonsense. They say time is money and things are changing little by little we just don't notice them. The hero doesn't need to look physically muscular or have any of that stuff he just needs to have intelligence and know exactly what he's fighting for. We need someone to look up to!

Education
I think there is no extent in education because it's very valuable without education you can't really go anywhere. It's giving in and getting out, what I mean is that the more education you have the more places you'll get. Education is everywhere it's needed everywhere, it will follow you everywhere and it changes your life because you come to this world without any knowledge and you don't know anything and as you grow you grow in education. There's not one day that goes by that you don't learn anything. They say "Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself " (John Dewey).
To me education is everything because I know that I can't get anywhere without it. I try my best in school so I can get into a good college. The way I've seen people react about education are giving there all and slacking off. The reason I see people slack off is because they just don't care anymore but once they realize it, it's to late to do something to change it because they either failed to many classes, go to continuation school. I wish that students knew what they had, so they could value it more. I also see it as us being the future of the world because we are.The older people in this world won't be here 20-30 years from now because it's going to be our turn to do something about this world. It can change in many ways or stay the same but there can be so many changes it just takes time because time is money and time is change.
