Nowadays almost everyone has a cellular phone, from teenagers to professionals.

A critic once said, "when one reads or sees Macbeth, one cannot help feeling that one is experiencing a re-creation or representation of what a man is, in the present, even in the timeless." Indeed, Macbeth is timeless. His situation is as true today as it was when it was written. His vices and wants do not belong to any one century but to all time. Ambition, murder, revenge, deception, self-doubt, manhood, and the corruption of power are all present today. These universal themes are what make Macbeth ageless. Ambition was the driving force behind all of Macbeth. The ambition of both Macbeth and Lady Macbeth moved the entire plot. The witches planted the seed of discontent

Before examining its relevance to an investigation, the term motive must be defined. A motive is essentially the "why" of a criminal act. It is the reason and driving force behind committing a crime. Motive can also be viewed "as the emotional, psychological, and material needs that impel and are satisfied by behavior" (Turvey 2002: 307). Usually, a motive does not exist without a social context. Also, a motive is often difficult to discern, since it can be rather complex in some cases. In general, there are often multiple motives that, when combined, lead individuals to commit a crime (Turvey 2002). Only in a rare case is a motive singular Nonetheless, people concentrate on finding one

One example was after you and the rest of the boys had stolen that white Chevy truck and had stopped to get some food. Some locals questioned why six "milk drinkers" would be out that late, so you and the rest of the boys left, only to be followed by the locals and almost run off the road. When you stopped, the locals noticed the car you were driving was wired. The locals said that they were going to call the police. You then pulled out the . 22 rifle you had taken from the camp and shot it off, protecting the Bedwetters by scaring off the locals. That judge was not easy on you, probably because you had a record.

Out of the many challenges and problems that be face, it seems as if none are as overbearing as coping with competition. However, few can argue in favor of a world devoid of it. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines competition as "to strive consciously or unconsciously for an objective" and "a contest between rivals." While this definition provides a good general understanding of the word, it lacks the realistic perspective that we face daily. My definition is "The assertive application of skill or aptitude in order to obtain an advantage over another."

Before their sledding accident, Mattie had Ethan "wrapped around her little finger" so to speak. He did anything she wanted him to do for her, and even things she didn't want him to do (Like buying her the red hair comb). After the accident, his entire world was changed because now he walks with a limp. Though Mattie influenced him, once might say that all the blame can be put on Zeena's shoulders because she was the one who faked getting sick in the first place.

person who is careless or not aware of his inappropriate behavior walking clumsy, or driving recklessly we can evaluate them as being drunk or alcoholics.It's difficult to establish rules and regulations towards a product that has been loved and abused by people throughout centuries. I think some of the strategies that could be imploded to subside the high number of alcoholism in the United States are higher penalties, higher age requirements, and or higher cost of the product. Higher prices for alcohol will result in higher revenues which could then be redirected to support group or programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous. Alcohol if it is to be reduced as a product and replaced with a less seductive element could be another option. But in reality this is practically impossible and most will say inhumane, for the people deserve to have the freedom of choice especially in the United States. I hope that in the future there could be a solution to this nonsense that would lead to a healthier population, and a better world to live in.
