The Impulse of Buying

The cause and effect of impulse of buying has its pros and cons. The cause of buying is because sometimes you have temptations or the impulse of wanting the item. The bad thing about this is that you do not always need the item. Having the impulse of always wanting to buy things has the effect of becoming and addiction that cannot always become controllable. I know this because I have a family friend who always has the impulse of wanting to buy everything she would see. Sometimes this addiction come to the point where it its uncontrollable and you cannot stop it. The impulse of this addiction is like a drug you have that you can do easily but becomes hard to let go. The reason you also go through this is because at times you want to replace things you never had in you past that now you can have in your present. At times impulse buying happens when you get caught up in the hype of a situation and you buy something without thinking much about it. Impulse items may be new products, samples or well-established products at unexpected low prices. Despite the marketing and lifestyle factors that encourage it today, impulse buying is not yet well understood. This is due in part to the long-standing absence of a compelling conceptualization of this distinctive type of purchasing behavior. This article reviews extant research on impulsive behavior and then introduces a new interpretation of impulse buying. Following this are the results of an exploratory study that investigates the phenomenology of consumers' impulse buying episodes.

Hello Vistor from Another Planet...this what Pollution is About!

Hello! Visitor I would like to explain to you to the planet you have enter and its major issue this plant major issue is call pollution. There are different types of pollution but the one that affects us the most is air pollution because of its harmful substances into the environment. There are many types of pollution that are destroying the environment little, by little.  Air pollution is a commonly known type of pollution that exists, and it is any contamination of the atmosphere that disturbs the natural composition and chemistry of the air. Vehicle exhaust, forest fires, volcanic eruptions, dry soil erosion, and other natural sources, building construction, demolition are just some of the causes of air pollution.  Water pollution is also a commonly known type of pollution. Water pollution involves any contaminated water, whether from chemical, particulate, or bacterial matter that degrades the water’s quality and purity. Water pollution can occur in oceans, rivers, lakes, and underground reservoirs, and as different water sources flow together the pollution can spread. Some causes of water pollution are: Increased sediment from soil erosion, improper waste disposal and littering, leaching of soil pollution into water supplies, organic decay in water supplies and more. Another type of pollution is soil pollution. Soil pollution is the contamination of the soil that prevents natural growth and balance in the land whether it is used for cultivation, habitation, or a wildlife preserve. Some soil pollution, such as the creation of landfills, is deliberate, while much more is accidental and can have widespread effects. Some effects of soil pollution are: hazardous waste and sewage spills, non-sustainable farming practices, such as the heavy use of inorganic pesticides, strip mining, deforestation, and other destructive practices, household dumping and littering and more.

Prompt #34

People come to the United States to immigrate because they believe that it is better than their native country. In fact, some people even believe that the United States is the best country in the world.  The United States offers lots of great opportunities in most states. The United States may not seem like the best country in the world, but overall this country has a lot to offer.
Many people think the United States is the best country in the world because of it’s the strongest economy in the world and it has a lot of money which means the country has a lot of power.  The United States goes by education, and the more education you obtain the more power and the more money you earn. All you have to do to gain power is get your education and take the right path based on what you want to do.  Not to mention education is free up until college but you can still receive the college education free with grants and scholarships.
Many people like my parents, migrated from Mexico because they wanted a better life and a decent job so that they actually could live off.  My parents came to the United States more than twenty years ago and they are now citizens because they took advantage of the great opportunities the United States offered them.  My parents earned the residence back few years ago, and then applied for the citizenship and within the first or second try they passed and obtained their citizenship. My parents were in the shoes of many immigrants and they managed to pull through and make it through up till today after more than twenty years, so if my parents can do it, anyone can succeed in obtaining their citizenship.
Many people immigrate to the United States because they want to seek opportunities that are not offered at their native country. In the United States people who are considered aliens still are eligible to work for a decent, living wage to live comfortably.  The U.S. offers aliens the eligibility to apply for the citizenship and be able to travel in and out of the United States and to other countries. In other countries, they let you get a temporary Visa for certain people that have businesses or reasonable excuses to leave their country. 
The United States is a great country and I believe in it as well as my parents and all the other people who have benefitted from migrating from their native countries to the U.S. The United States has much to offer but you just have to go after those opportunities and don’t give up on them. The United States has a lot of power and money, and in order to be part of those great indulgences you just have to go chase them until you reach them by taking the correct paths. Anyone can benefit from migrating to the United States if they really want to because the U.S. is the best country in the world.

Modern life without computers

A day without my phone makes me feel lonely. Now if I were to think about the modern day life without computers is impossible to even imagine. Computer usage is a necessity now this day because we have became to attach to computers in our lives now these days and now we can’t leave it for many reasons. Computers are used to research, type up documents, post information, play games, communicate and etc. Without computers we would need to research information at a local library or directly to the company, place, organization, business or etc to find out what you need. If we were to live without computer out lives be not to organize because we rely on how the computer helps us have to be neatly by being type and not hand written and not having to work twice as hard to try to get the word out to the people. Without computers pictures would not be able to be edited by using online features. It would be tougher being organized without a computer because computers can store memory and set up alarms for important events or meetings and what not. Computers help create models, and create objects and without it, the objects would be harder to make because you would go through a different process rather than doing it on the computer. Computers help conserve a certain amount of paper by emailing rather than paper mailing to the people, therefore there would be more paper use leading to cut down more trees. Modern day life cannot be thought to be simple because the existence of computers, because thanks to computers everyone’s lives have been made easier and not so complicate like old days.

Tips for Drivers

In this world no one has the ability to be perfect because everyone could use some improvement with themselves. Everyone includes artists, actresses, teachers and especially drivers. Now these days we have car accidents because of the fact that new drivers and some old drivers do not know how to approach different driving obstacles. Everyday there are new young drivers out on the streets. Everyday there are crazy drivers, old drivers, young drivers and many other kind of drivers out there that together make the streets unsafe but rather dangerous for pedestrians and other drivers is the certain precautions are not taken and reinforced. One piece of advice that is given to drivers is for the drivers to not forget that they are driving and always keep your eyes on the road because you can always get side tracked while driving whether it is looking at another car, or looking at a store on your way and etc. Another tip that drivers could use is to remember that they are driving therefore they need to follow the rules when driving because often people choose to do whatever they like out on the streets and end up actually creating an accident and sometimes a fatal accident which can lead to law suits. Another tip that should be given to drivers is that they need to get a Bluetooth head set for their cell phone so that both hands could stay on the steering wheel and to prevent them from receiving a ticket for use of cell phone with one hand.

What's special about me?

There are many things that are special about me. I’m the type of person who is based on originality. I'm the kind of girl who hates the fact of growing up. I wish I could go to a land were there’s peace. You will always find me smiling or laughing. When I’m board I love to write in my journal and read. I believe that reading is a way to run away from reality and just letting your mind fantasize. I’m pretty slow at times. So try to have patience with me. I can be really friendly, but sometimes can be mean if it’s not my day. I also am very caring for others and myself and this is what makes me be me. I love to sing, party and dance to everything you name it! I’m a girly-girl I love anything that has to do with fashion! Fashion is what pays an important role in my life because I love being fashionable and it what makes me. But even though I love fashion I also love watching basketball games, and I just love my sports, I’m very athletic. I am a swimmer and a tennis player and I’m a clumsy ass one too. I love movies that are funny, that have love, comedy, action or movies of any kind!! Oh and also playing video games :) I also like to lay back and chill with my friends. When I go out with my friends I love too grub on a big meals. Plus I always have to eat right! What also makes me special in my own way that I can be part of a police program and I can work with them because that’s my path to my career in my future. Having to me to be like this makes me special for the person I am.
