im writing an essay and am kind of stuck because i cant think of what to write. my topic is why are promises important.? please if you could give me a few tips that would be very appreciated thanx.
here are a couple of reasons why promises are important...
first it is not the promise that is important it is being able to follow through with the promise that is important..
it establishes trust, and sound mind for a worried partner or friend,
Trailer for a good Documentary about the Palestinian and Israeli conflict through the eyes of children who are living in the midst of it.
If my question confuses you, let me know and I'll try to word it differently. Also, were these promises followed through by the end of Andrew Jackson's Presidency? Finally, I was also wondering if all Americans felt the benefits of these promises or if only a certain group felt the benefits. Thanks so much.
1. The American Revolution started as a transatlantic trade dispute. Eventually it became a social and political revolution. Promises were made that the country would be free, all men were created equal and a new republic would be built.
2. Jackson promised a government for the people. He started the spoils system and the first campaign where candidates got to know the regular people
3. The biggest thing that was promised was flexibility. The Constitution is a flexible document and it was meant to change with the times. What was not promised was perfection.
From Shmoop/History
We live in a world where we must depend on each other to survive and thrive, and yet we are the victims and perpetrators of broken promises. How do we cope?
I am a teenager living an average teenage world. And in today's world, life is difficult for everyone, whether it be from stress from children, work, peers, school, or even a parking spot.
My life, as other's have said, is anything but ordinary. People have turned their back on me countless times, and if i was any other person, my spirit would already have been broken. However, some people's wills are stronger than others, and no matter how many broken promises are there, some are still able to move on and make new friends, maybe even make friends with your enemy, as I have done.
Some people push forward on, trying their hardess not to let the world show their pain. But the way I've coped with this situation of broken promises, I've hid my depression and stress by putting on a ruse for half my life. I've hid everything behind a smile, and often wore long sleeves to hid the physical pain I've inflicted upon myself.
However, with the help of some of my really close friends, they've tended to my wounds (not literally) and helped me get up when I've falled (also not literally). Now, I've learned to express my feelings through stories that I write. It's my way of porting my emotions in a piece that is neither good nor bad.
Broken promises are only limited to a person's will. If a person's will is weak, it will quickly break. If a person's will is strong, no matter how evil the broken promise, they will keep on pushing on, no matter how strong the fight.
I have been told that a naming ceremony is a good, non-religious alternative to a christening. Has anyone been to one, held one, or otherwise know the sort of promises/vows the parents make? Any help would be much appreciated :o)
The parents make vows that they will love and nurture the child throughout it's life. They can also make vows that they will love and support each other.
I went to one recently at a register office, the parents wrote their own vows, they also wrote a little speech describing why they chose they name that they did. It was all very lovely and means that you don't miss out on a ceremony for your child if you're not religious.
Before the end of world war one the british made promises to the Arabs if they revolted against the ottoman government.
I believe they were:
To limit Jewish immigration.
Not to allow the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine.
To create an Arab state in Palestine.
