REACTION PAPER

WALLSTREET: Money Never Sleeps

"Time is the most valuable commodity."..... Right i should invest to it.

When it comes to investing you need to be patient. It takes a long time to determine if a stock is good and if you are able to find the right type of stock to help you grow a solid retirement. Finding strong winners and keeping the money invested in them is the best way to make sure that there is little risk and still the potential for gain. The best stocks will pay a dividend and have a stable commodity that the company produces.

No matter what age we are, we are all fighting an uphill battle against the progress of time and what it means to our lives. Too often, we find ourselves with competing priorities and making decisions that do not make our lives better, but only make them worse. If we can use time to get our money to work for us, we may be able to get to a point in life where time with the family becomes the priority and not the exception.

Two lines that marks in my mind when I first heard it in the movie.

Jacob Moore: What is the definition of insanity? It's doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. By that standard, most of us are insane. But not on the same time.

What is the definition of insanity? One could say that the definition of a insanity is doing the exact same thing over and over again, and expecting different results. However, if that's true, then aren't we all crazy then? Maybe not all at once, but maybe at different times if that's the case. Therefore, wouldn't our capitalistic society be deemed crazy then? After all, there's no secret that our stock markets have crashed various times throughout our history. Sure, you can argue that we've always managed to pull out of it before, but the results are hardly different, as the cycle continuously repeats itself. Where the most ruthless and cut throat businessman can make it ahead in Wall

    The legal definition of insanity stated by therapist Bryan Howes is “n. mental illness of such a severe nature that a person cannot distinguish fantasy from reality, cannot conduct her/his affairs due to psychosis, or is subject to uncontrollable impulsive behavior.” Which emphasizes the idea that if an individual is not in control of their actions, then they are to be considered insane. In some cases, this period of “unawareness” can compose dangerous situations depending on what actions are performed in his/her unconscious state of mind.…

    How does one know which stocks to buy? No one ever knows for sure since no one knows what will happen to the economy, the market, or a company. Purchasing stocks is always a gamble but the more you know about a company’s finances and its products, the better you can decide whether a company’s stock has the potential to increase in value. For example, if a new drug is just completing Clinical III Trials, and is about to go on the market, the company may expect to start making money on that product. Using annual reports and researching companies, for example, on the Internet is a good place to start.…

    Eddie Routh Case Study

    The insanity defense is only raised in 1% of cases and then only successful 25% of the time it is used; although its rarity, the legal court has very detailed rules. Most rules describe not guilty by reason of insanity as not being aware of what you were doing in that exact moment. Adam Banner suggests that the Eddie Routh case had an accurate ruling of guilty because of his claim that, “...the disposition is ‘not guilty by reason of insanity’. It is not ‘not guilty by reason of mental illness’,”. Only Mental Health America would disagree, stating, “The Court has indicated that states may be required to provide at least some minimal defense based on mental illness,”. Coincidently, these changes have not been made thus…

    The word insane means to have a deranged state of mind or someone who has a mental disorder. In As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner, Darl is accused of being insane. He is not insane; he is simply trying to express himself in a different manner that his family is too ignorant to understand. His mother’s body has been above ground for nine days; that is enough reason for a person to become partially overwhelmed with, to others around him, insane ideas.…

    Stephan King is right when he implies we are all mentally ill. It is a matter of how someone handles the insanity, and how to process it mentally. Some people hide it better than others, keeping them from prison. Riding roller coasters, or watching scary movies feeds the insanity inside all of us. It makes us excited and wants us to feel relieved. Insanity does not overcome the mind, it depends on how someone feeds their…

    Insanity is largely dependent upon context and time period. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, takes place during the mid-twentieth century, the age of conformity. Because there was such a narrow range of acceptable behavior, individuals who did not conform were often regarded as crazy. The lack of understanding of mental illness and the absence of effective psychotropic drugs led to warehousing of many patients. In addition, the pendulum was swinging back from the deinstitutionalization movement that was so prevalent in the 1950's. Large parts of the population were being swept into institutions, which served as storage houses for a broad range of conditions. And once inside, mental instability was often perpetuated by the very system intended to "cure" it.…

    What exactly is the official court definition of legally insane? Criminal Law and Court Procedures author, Melroy B. Hutnick states that there are three basic rules that are commonly given consideration in deciding an individual's sanity. The first rule, M'Naghten's Rule states:" If at the time of committing the act, the defendant was laboring under such a defect of reason from disease of the mind as not to know the nature and the quality of the act, but did not know that what he was doing was wrong, he is legally insane and not responsible for his acts. This rule is often referred to as the Right-Wrong Test." The second rule, known as Durham's Rule, states: "An accused is not criminally responsible if his unlawful act was the product of mental disease or mental defect." Last, the Irresistible Impulse Rule states: "If by reason of a mental disease, the accused has so far lost his power to choose between right and wrong that he was unable to avoid doing the act in question, he is insane" (Hutnick 23). What does all of this mean? People can commit crimes yet not be held accountable for those crimes if they are found to be insane.…

    When we think of insanity most people would refer to this word as a medical term but in reality it is a legal term. It is not a term used clinically to describe an individual 's state of mind unless he or she has committed a serious criminal offense. The claim of a defendant in a criminal prosecution is that he or she was insane when the crime was committed, and therefore should not be held accountable. As William H. Reid said in his article in the Journal of Psychiatric Practice, “ The point is not what diagnosis the defendant has, but how it affected his or her ability to do certain things at the time of the allegedly criminal act.” (Journal of Psychiatric Practice, May 2000, p.169, Law and Psychiatry – The Insanity Defense: Bad or Mad or Both?, William H. Reid). Defendants use the insanity defense as a way to attack intent or mens rea and must then provide proof that the time they committed the crime, they were legally insane and could not appreciate the nature of their wrongful act.…

    Family time is very important early in a child’s life. As the child grows, whether he had plenty of family time or not will, have an effect on the decisions he/she makes in his/her life, and shapes the person he/she will become. I believe this because of what I’ve personally experienced and observed throughout my young life. My cousin and I are the same age, and the same gender. The only difference is that he grew up with both of his parents at home and I grew up with…
