Taking a story and finding out if all of the information was given and was it given without biased.

While Reading the papers recently California residents may have read and seen that the gas prices have skyrocketed to record breaking highs in the last two weeks or may be even less. The state average is roughly four dollars and sixty one cents in California. Nationally the average was three eighty one said AAA. In this article at one point it blames it towards political means by saying "California's consumers are all too familiar with energy price spikes which cannot be explained by market fundamentals, and which turn out years later to have been the result of malicious and manipulative trading activity." (welch, 2012). In the same story another side states “Petroleum analysts say California's problems have been compounded by a combination of reduced production at refineries and an annual shift from a summer gasoline blend to a winter blend with fewer additives.” (welch, 2012). There is bias on both side of the subject some is more obvious than others. There were facts that were left like the fact that California has to make to different fuel compositions for winter and for summer. They had taken the time to look at from a national point of view, but this had now effect on the rest of the world. There were a lot of implications for fuel refineries shutting down to the fact they need to change the fuel for the upcoming winter seasons along with some local refineries that have been closed down recently. This subject is touchy depending on which side you stand. There are also factors like those that must be taken into consideration. There business’ closing down and refusing to sell their gas at these prices. This sudden spike in gas prices shocked everyone in the state. It has even caused thefts in the state that

    As the presidential election approaches, America is split, debating between Republicans and Democrats, but there is one thing that they all would agree on: the price of gas, and how ridiculous it has become. Over the summer, for the first time ever the national average for gas hit four dollars a gallon. I am going to guess that I didn’t have to tell you that- you already knew. Since most Americans are against high gas prices, it makes it easy for a cartoonist to publish works relative to the subject. Marshall Ramsey’s 2008 cartoon,” Make them wish for $3 dollar gas,” focuses on the role of the oil corporations in the highly inflated price of gasoline by depicting the company heads as greedy conmen swindling money from the U.S. citizens.…

    Adjustment to change is part of life in the entirety of the lifespan, and this applies to late adulthood as well- where change may be decline. Aging is an inevitable part of life, but there are changes one can make in lifestyle that can become positive or negative factors in the areas of physical, cognitive, and social development or decline. One change in each area would be freedom or limitations of ability. One change in cognitive development could be dementia, or maintenance of memory.

    The credible article from the University library I selected was The Family and Consumer Sciences Research Journal, by McFadden, Joan R; Rawson Swan, Kay T. I selected this article, because it shows the changes in health and family roles that can lead to increased stress and/or depression or alternatively to feelings of well-being ultimately resulting in a midlife crisis. In the article the authors suggest that there is a need for "life transition" courses for women who are interested in understanding how to improve their health and well-being. The actual midlife crisis starts in order to establish the suggested changes…

    Aging is an inevitability of life. With age man exchanges the physical prowess of youth for the wisdom that comes through experiencing the trials and triumphs of life.

    When it comes to social development in adulthood there are many different areas of live that some individuals have a choice to make certain decisions in their life that can carry some serious consequences and can determine how a certain individual would turn out in their adulthood. Most of the social developments come from how an individual was raised by their parents, what type of environment they was raised in, and what type of group of people that they tend to hang out with. The reason why I choose this topic and article is, because it explains everything exactly what to expect out of individual that just begins adulthood and what the outcomes are if an individual decides to take the wrong road in life by getting into trouble or being peer pressured into doing certain type of drugs that can affect an person when they hit adulthood. This article also explains the evaluation of young people when they hit adulthood to see if they would put their selves into a particular social category that can really tell exactly how they life will turn out in the long run based on some of the decisions that an individual makes when they make adulthood. “The most interesting comparisons for modern young people are with young people in other societies that had two social features. First, they were class-based, which means that people at different status levels had not only different resources but also different styles of life. Second, nuclear-family households were the norm, meaning that the young couple set up house separate from either set of parents.” (Schlegel, Alice Sep-Dec 1998).…

    There are many different elements that contribute to rising gasoline prices. The major cause for increasing gasoline prices has to do with refining capacity. Even if oil were inexpensive, we would still have a problem converting it into the gas that fuels our economy. That is what keeps the gas prices high. When gas supplies are short, due to an “inability to refine crude oil into gas efficiently,” prices increase.…

    The journey through infancy, childhood, and adolescence significantly impacts the development that takes place during a person’s adulthood. There are many aspects in a person’s early life that will carry on to further characterization and identity. Patterns and themes begin to evolve at a young stage in a person’s life and they will often carry on to be their dominant characteristics. A dominant characteristic can often be an indication of what someone will be like upon full maturity or adulthood. This explains why it is often beneficial to research a person’s personal background before judging their future. Judging by my dominant characteristics during my childhood combined…

    The rise in the cost of fuel has had an impact in many areas of our economy. Higher food prices, costs of heating, and transportation have had the largest affect on the average American. This change has forced us to make choices in order to maintain our current quality of life and has sparked a philosophical debate as to how we arrived here and how we should attack this problem in the short term and in the future. Do we maintain our consumption and current dependence on oil? Or do we change and look for other energy solutions. What role should the government play in our decision? Will the free market solve it's own problems.…
