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.
Situations that play on shoppers impulsiveness include: items on sale tables that advertise 'huge bargains' or '10% off all items' or the enticement of announcements that something is half price for the next 5 minutes. Impulse buying makes you spend money on items you may not really need or want. To avoid impulse buying you need to ask yourself if you really need the item or just want it.

prejudice
In addition, extremely prejudiced people seem to share a cluster of personality traits – an authoritarian personality. Authoritarian people think of the world in rigid "either-or" categories. They are rigidly conventional and are hostile toward people who violate conventional values. They are preoccupied with power and toughness. They are submissive to authority and, in turn, are likely to bully those with less power than themselves. Destructive and cynical, these individuals fear, suspect and reject all outgroup members – even from fictitious groups. If you aren’t one of "us," you must be one of "them" – the enemy.We need to remember that the studies were done with imaginary people and situations. There was also a subtle pressure in experiments for subjects to be unbiased. However, personal biases are more evident in real life. The study was repeated in 1974 with a little twist. New college students were asked about whom they would prefer as roommates in a dorm. Half were told that this was an imaginary situation, while the rest were told that these choices would be used to determine their real roommates. Racial factors were more important in the choice of actual roommates than the choice of imagined roommates. However, similarity of attitudes and beliefs was still important for both groups. It is easier to give "lip service" to racial equality than to actually practice it.
drinks
/11/2010 - The booming popularity of sugary soft drinks has led to 6,000 more deaths, 14,000 more cases of heart disease and 130,000 new cases of diabetes in the past 10 years, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of California-San Francisco and presented at the annual Cardiovascular. 2/24/2010 - Researchers from Mass General Hospital for Children in Boston gathered data about US children with health problems. They looked at conditions that limited activities and/or schooling, required medication and/or specialized equipment and health services, and that lasted for at least a year.

I play this sport all the time, such as when im in the mood for it and when i and when i just feel the need to. I will never ever ever give up on this sport because I know it will never give up on me. Always remember think dream play basketball.
passing college test
College exams are never fun, they are quite stressful, and a lot of work to study for. Whether you have a low grade in the class and need to bring it up by your college exam, or you have a high grade and don’t want it to lower because of it, there are things you can do. A college exam doesn’t need to be as scary as you make it out to be. We all know the most important thing is to study, but there are a few other things you could keep in mind to raise that grade also. Check out some of the things you can do to get the grade you want on your college exam.
Take good notes – Taking good notes in college is very important. Since college is so fast paced to learn about a whole subject, the professor is going to try to tell you everything that’s important in class. Taking good notes will make it so much easier to study when the exam is around the corner.Get a study buddy – Having a friend from the classes makes study time a lot more fun and worthy of your time. Study with someone can help you out more than you can think. If you’re studying they may mention something you never heard of and might be able to explain what it is. Or maybe they heard the teacher say “you need to study this, it will be on the exam.” They can help you out a ton, think of all the information you know and just and some more help with a study buddy!

veggies
I truly dislike peas. You couldnt pay me 1 million dollars to eat them. My advice that i would give a parent whos kid doesnt like vegetables is to talk them into eating the vegetable. The child may genuinely dislike the taste, texture or odour of certain vegetables, especially if they have been overcooked. Some adults do not set a good example to children by eating a
wide variety of vegetables themselves. Some adults assume that their child won't like certain vegetables. The child can pick up on this assumption and refuse to try new vegetables. You should also offer vegetables in a positive, casual manner and assume the child will enjoy them. They may not of course, but think positively.

notes
What is the most effective notetaking strategy? For me the Cornell Notetaking System works the best. The Cornell Notetaking System (Record, Reduce, Recite, Reflect and Review) is a five - step notetaking process used to take notes from textbooks or lectures. Even though this strategy works best for me there are other strategies that I will share with you that I believe will also be beneficial in future classes. I will admit when it was first introduced to I couldn't stand it and would reject using it. Now as I progress in school I realize how beneficial it is.
The first notetaking strategy is Annotating which is highlighting, underlining, making marginal notes, etc. Basically just marking any and everything that you feel is important to know. Annotating has always been a strategy I’ve used and I think it is very helpful, especially for my reading class. In my reading class my teacher has us play a game of Jeopardy to study vocabulary 5 chapters at a time. Having words and information highlighted or underlined makes it a lot easier to brush up on my need to know words.
The second strategy is the Two-Column System defined as a notetaking system that shows topics, vocab. terms and/or study questions in the left column and details in the right column. This particular system will be helpful in the upcoming semester because I have to take English. I feel this system will help simplify the different rules of grammar which was something I had trouble with in high school.
The final strategy would have to be Outlining. Outlining provides a skeleton or an overview of the structure of printed materials of a complete chapter. This system is pretty much self explanatory and seems to be effective in social studies class. Outlining is an awesome alternative to time-lines. I’ve used this strategy also, haven’t used it since high school but when I did use it things seemed to make more sense. I’m not sure if I will have to use this strategy or not because I’m not sure what I will be taking in the future. This is my first semester of my freshman year so I am still sort of lost but I will make this my primary notetaking system whenever the time comes to take a social studies or history class.
Well, I’ve told you how I prepare my study materials by explaining the notetaking strategies I use. So, to conclude my view of these strategies I’d like to hope that a mixture of these few strategies will make me a great success in future college courses and I hope to learn even more helpful techniques.

people
When I see different people they seem different and at the same time they can be interesting rather than those who have many things in common. Being to learn the persons difference is what makes the person interesting. As others say that being around people who have the same personality can be at times boring. People who are different come to the point where they tell each other about themselves and who they really are. Sometime people end up as allies because they can be so different and have to go through a lot to find someone like them. They won’t find there soul mate, but they are able to find someone similar like them. When two strangers meet and begin to know each other more with beliefs, their customs, their religion and their habits can help people become more social. Sometimes people have to go through tough moments to assemble real people who care from them, sometimes those people can appear to be different and be some else but inside they are different but they are someone who completes you. A good example would be marriage when theirs couple who are complete opposites from each other but at the end they start to meet each other and see they have common things. All of us in this world start as stranger but at the end we met somehow no matter how different we can be. People who sometimes are different from one another learn to value each other and reflect what their like and what they have in their most in life.
cooperate
The tri-county area needs better regional cooperation and leadership so it can guide development in a balanced, sustainable manner, said participants in a regional planning workshop Monday.The meeting at Summerville High School was part of the Berkeley Charleston Dorchester Council of Governments’ preparations to develop a variety of future growth scenarios, which will then be molded into a regional plan that will prioritize how the COG makes funding recommendations.

Affective teacher
The most affective teacher was Mr. smith, he was my pe teacher my freshman year. i dont know what he did but he made me find a strength in myself that i didnt know i had. he made me break out my comfort zone to achieve a greatness i didnt think i could.
Interesting person
I would have to say the most intersting person i know is my bestfriend donnielle. I have never met a more strong minded sweet caring strong person. its as if she was gifted with the ability to be a super hero she was blessed with super strength when some messes with her or she dosent feel well she is strong no matter what. The ability to stop time, when im with her i feel like everything stopped and its just us i noe i can depend on her for everything
no sleep
when i dont get any sleep i just get very goofy. I become sort of delirious. i cant sit still and i laugh at everything i become very hyper but once that hyperness weres off i get very sleepy if i sit down im bound to go to sleep.
home school vs public
One startling statistic is that more and more people are choosing homeschool. In fact the number of homeschoolers is now in the millions. Consider the following pros and cons in making your choice.
Pros of Home School
Public Schools:
Public schools have varying degrees of educational prowess and resources. A good step is to check out local and state statistics concerning the level of education in your area schools. These can be found online or by contacting the district offices. Once you have a cursory knowledge of the school’s educational aims, you should consider the following pros and cons.
Pros of Public School:
Pros of Home School
- Free to choose curriculum
- Free to choose schedule
- Small teacher to student ratio
- Teaches students to be independent in their learning choices
- Usually more expensive than public school
- Teachers are not always qualified to teach all subjects
- It’s harder to provide social interaction
- Colleges sometimes have stricter admission policies concerning homeschooled students.

Pros of Public School:
- Learning within a group setting
- Extra-curricular activity availability
- More curriculum opportunities
- Diverse social education
- High student-teacher ratio
- Less independence (scheduled learning)
- School chooses curriculum
- Peers based on area instead of choice
sweet vs spicy
Every now and again most of us like a little spice in our life. Whether it may be spicy Mexican food or simple cinnamon gum. Whatever it may be spicy foods can be very beneficial towards us, but they can have a negative effect also.
Pros:
-Keeps you from getting nauseous
-Clears your nasal way
-Fills you up faster so you can eat less
Cons:
-Usually spicy foods are high in salt content
-Can cause internal damage if consumed to often
-If to spicy the flavor can be lost in the heat
Spicy foods can work as a natural antacid and decongestant, but as you can see they have there major faults at times.
Sweet Foods:
Foods that are sweet, well let's face it, usually taste really good. I know almost everyone is a sucker for at least one sweet thing. I myself can have a terrible sweet tooth.
Pros:
-Curb major cravings
-Energy rush
-Taste really good
Sweet foods all around basically taste really good. From decedant and fancy desserts to plain ol' lollipops, everyone has their favorite sweet treat.
Cons:
-To much sugar can lead to serious health risks
-Crash and burn after energy rush
-When something is too sweet it no longer tastes good, but instead overwhelming
When too much sugar is consumed you risk major infractions like a breakout or a cavity to huge health problems like high blood sugar or obesity.
So whatever you choose as your favorite just remember to weigh the good and the bad, and always eat in moderation
weather
The weather does not really affect my mood. The only time it actually affects my mood is when it is hot as I don’t know what. I hate the heat. I start to become too impatient and I do not know what to do with myself. I just want to stay at home when it is too hot. When it is cold, I am happy because love the cold. I can be in the cold all day. The only way that the heat would not bother me was if I had a pool. If I had a pool everything would be straight and I would not care but since I do not have that luxury, I hate the heat. The weather does not affect me because I love gloomy days. I love it when it rains. The rain is so beautiful. I don’t let the weather affect my plans. I still do what I have to do a happy camper.
how you dress
When you dress for a formal occasion that is when you are usually going to a party, get together, or if you are going to work. Women usually wear nice skirts with a nice fitted shirt and some high heels. They can wear nice slacks. They can also wear dresses. Jeans and sneakers are not clothes that you wear if you are going to a formal occasion. Guys wear he easy stuff. I believe that they have an easy outfit because they can just wear slacks, ties and nice shoes. That is what people wear when you go to a formal occasion. When you go to an informal occasion, people can wear whatever they want. You can wear jeans, shorts, sneakers, t-shirts, Crew necks, hoodies, hats and etc. Informal wear is usually what you feel is comfortable
pets
Cats and dogs are two different types of animals. They are both small and big. They come in all sizes. They come in different colors and different type of features. They both have some features that they share. They have a lot of differences though. For some reason, cats and dogs hate each other. Depending on the cat, is how the cat acts? Some cats are really nice cute and fluffy. While some cats are wild, moody and mean. Dogs are lovable too. Dogs are usually bigger than cats. Some dogs are there to protect their owners. Some dogs on the other hand, are house dogs. Cats and dogs can both make house pets but cats make a better house pet. Some cats are calmer than dogs. They like to lie around and eat. They get fat and just chill. They know how to act right and they act just right. Dogs are more rowdy. They are more hyper than cats. They like to jump around and run around
bestfriend wanted
A fairly common social issue people have is that they're not sure how to make friends and put together a social life for themselves. There are quite a few ways someone can find themselves in this situation.
They've moved to a new city and don't know very many people yet.
They've been in a long term relationship and have let their social life wither.
Their old friends have slowly been dropping out of the picture (moving away, busy with work or a new family, etc.) and haven't been replaced by new ones.
They feel like they've grown apart from their current friends and want to make entirely new ones.
In the past they were happy being alone a lot of the time, but now they want to be around people more often.
They never really knew how to make friends and have always wished their social lives were better.

Relationships has to end
This game called life has another part to it we call love. This is very much a game of chance. When you play this game your putting your heart out there your bascially puttting yourself out there. You risk every thing you are to love someone. you tell them your most deepest secret and personal info. they see you at your lowest low and highest high but the moment yall end you lose your bestfriend. Becuase them learning everything about you classifies them as your bestfriend but yall ended so its over.
sisters
Me and my siblings have our days. We get along most of the time but argue all the time. We see eyeto eye when it comes to certain things and may argue about other things. This causes a lot of problems in certain famililes. SOme silings give up and may not never want to talk too each oher agan, but I think that this can be fixed. The parents can talk to them and help them out with all their problems and have them talk them out because nobody lke for there children to disown each other.
No phone zone
Life without cell phones was harder. If you wanted to communicate you would either write a letter or use the house phone. Cell phones are better than home phones because now cell phones are small, mobile, helpful, and even entertaining. I think that i would be lost if i didnt have a cell phone i dont know how i would function if i didnt have a cell phone because thats all i do is talk on my cell phone and text and things of that nature. All of my friends have cell phones and we always communicate and stay in touch with each other.
The internet
The Internet, so powerful for sharing text, images, sounds and videos, is now weakest at doing that for which it was originally designed - exchanging raw data between researchers. Last month, the National Center for Data Mining at the University of Illinois at Chicago launched the first version of an infrastructure called Data Space Transfer Protocol, or DSTP, for creating the next generation web of data. The current Web provides an infrastructure for working with distributed multimedia documents, which are exchanged using the familiar "http," or Hypertext Transfer Protocol. But although a massive amount of data is available online, it is stored in so many different formats that it has become difficult, if not impossible, to analyze and use in research, says Georg Reinhart, visiting research scientist in mathematics, statistics, and computer science at UIC.
leadership
I have demonstrated leadership in and out of school in many ways. What is leadership? How can you manage leaderdship? To me leadership in your own way is standing up for yourself and being a leader to and towards your family and friends. Many people dont know how to handle leadership because they are not leaders and they dont like to lead in certain situations. I am a leader in my own way. I love to help people and lead my community to positive things and things that benefit me. To manage leadership i think that individuals can stand up for themselves such as doing what they do best like going to different schools and helping out little kids with thier work or some things that they dont quite understand.
Computer
A computer is great but a mini computer is better you cant carry your computer every where you go, but you can take a labtop. You will be able to search things where every and the new feature they have on labtops is web chatting. this is whn you and a friend are in a totally different part of the world and yall can chat as if your right there next to each other.
Raw and cooked
People may prefer raw food becuase its no added preservatives your gettting the originality. Your not adding extra salt or spices becuase its as good as it can get. People who like cooked food may wont a little extra they may not want the food right after it died they want to make sure its dead and has spices to make it food instead of just a dead animal.
Desert
The best desert i have ever had would be red velvet cake. to me this is the best cake in the world. Its basically a vanilla cake with food coloring and his three layers geled together by buttercream vanilla frosting covered in that same frosting. This cake is delicious and it goes great with milk.
Say no to drugs
More then half the people in this world has used drugs. They use them to cope with stress. Drugs seem cool to certain people, but not to me i say no to drugs becuase what good is drugs what will it do for me. Drugs arent good all they do is kill you inside out they mess with your lungs heart and brain. You need all of those to live.
