Champion have a wide range and variety of emotions, and a great passion for novelty. And they also see life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil, and they want to experience all the meaningful events and fascinating people in the world. The Butt and Heiss said I am a General: ENFPs are both "idea"-people and "people"-people, who see everyone and everything as part of an often bizarre cosmic whole. They want to both help (at least, their own definition of "help") and be liked and admired by other people, on bo th an individual and a humanitarian level.

Civil War Essay
EFFECTS THE CIVIL WAR HAD ON WOMEN
The Civil was the greatest war in American History. More than three million soldiers had fought in this war, and more than 600,00 men had paid the ultimate price for freedom. This war had been a war for freedom and equal rights and the desire for freedom traveled deeper than the color of your skin and farther than the borders of any state (civilwar.com). The Union and Confederate armies were both made up of mostly poor farmers. The Civil War Had killed more Americans than any other war. While both sides fought the Civil War for more than four years over the issue of slavery, the North fought for moral reasons while the South fought to preserve its own institution. Some men on both sides eagerly signed up to fight for money, adventure, or glory. Others needed more patriotic reasons to fight.
Union soldiers were fighting to keep the United States together as one country. Confederate soldiers wanted to leave the Union and were fighting to control their own way of life. We can see this by how women experienced the war back in 1861.
Most women had been affected by the war in many different ways. Some women had found the effort of working for many different organizations, including the Ladies Hospital Aid Society, the Union Volunteer Refreshment Salon, and the United States Christian Commission. Other women had performed various activities on a more personal level, such as sewing individual items to be shipped to soldiers that they knew. (www.hsp.org) There efforts certainly had attest to the idea that women fought the war in their own ways on the home front and in doing so had played a tremendous and crucial role in helping the war effort. It became clear that there was a typically a distinction between women who had family members or loved ones fighting or working for the government in Washington and those who didn't. The women who had wrote to a brother, husband, or son more likely participated in some ways were more likely to feel the need to contribute them, even if that had meant sewing a simple garment and sending it to soldiers they knew. Those who did not mention the war service of a family member, however, had less of a tendency to do something for the war effort, and if they wrote of the war at all it often consisted of war news culled from local newspapers and gossip and their local areas.
In addition, women had even went as far as to be spies and soldiers for both sides of the war. Knowing that women were not able by law to enlist as soldiers, some disguised themselves as men and served in both the Union and Confederate Armies. Many women who had did this were able to avoid getting caught, and served until either getting wounded or until the War’s ended. Other women had decided that if they would become spies was the best way to serve, and there were dozens of Southern, female spies in Washington DC, as well as one Northerner being in the Confederate White House.
These conclusions are based on the assumption that if women knew a man involved in the war she would mention him in her letters or diaries. There are undoubtedly some exceptions to this rule: women may have deemed her letters or her journal an inappropriate place for that type of personal
Information or may have been so deeply concerned for her loved one that she could not write about it. With that caveat, the majority of women probably did make at least a passing reference to the military service of their friends or relations if they were apart of their experience of the war.
In a document a man named Christian Expertly wrote a letter to his wife Mary and he basically talked about how he was doing, where he was staying, how everything just seemed so desolate, and he also explained how the food was and how much they were getting, and he describes his despair about the Southern cause in the letter. Also, in the letter the soldiers wrote what they were feeling and what was on their minds. Their wives and relatives had done the same. They went to make sure those there family members were alive, safe, and doing well where ever they were. In some women's writings they were pertaining to the war effort in many ways, either through their personal efforts or their notes on local news and gossip.
In another document written by Georgiana Tillotson to her father written on July 31, 1864 she talks to her father about life and what was going on and everything that was on her mind and what she was going through so he could still feel apart of the family even though he was away in the war. She also explains to her brother about how her and her other relatives are sick and how the weather is "very warm and dry". In these letters women and even young girls expressed their feelings and talked about everything that was going on because they never knew if there loved one would ever return home to see them again.
Many soldiers who were wounded on the battlefield died where they fell. This was very hard on many families because they did not know what to expect. Soldiers who were rescued often faced a grim fate in the hands of military doctors (Hart 125). In the 1860's medical care and knowledge was limited. Doctors did not r have a lot of the resources like some of the doctors do today. Doctors did not have the knowledge to treat many diseases and they did not even understand the causes of infection and the need for sanitary procedures in surgery.
In conclusion, the war officially ended in 1865, slaves in the South had now become free. The Civil War had lasted for 4 long years. Women had now been able to reunite with there loved ones after and long and bloody war. Over 600,000 had paid the ultimate price for their country and the ultimate price for freedom.

Is the uniform policy being applied fairly?
“I think we should be able to wear whatever we want”. “Everyone should be checked for the proper uniform and there should be no favoritism shown says two 10th grade students and Constitution High School. This is what teachers, the principal, and the Dean of Students here all day, everyday.
As of 2008 the uniform policy was enforced once again for the second time. As of now it is collar shirts, jeans with no holes or shavings, slacks, with your choice of sneakers or shoes as long as your feet are not exposed.
Is the uniform policy being applied fairly at Constitution High School? This was the question that was asked to 9th, 10th and even the principal and the Dean of Students. When Dr. Davidson was asked “Do you feel as if you are being 100% fair with the uniform policy”. He said, “ I believe we are 100% consistent in this application”! Dr Davidson thinks that there are several reasons: 1. “In our busy roles; we don’t see everything”. 2. There are staff members who would rather focus on instruction and not damage a good relationship with pupils, hence something are left ignored” 3. Sometimes there is more pressing matters to attend, to stop everything and deal with a dress attire issue”.
So when there is no pressing matters to attend to, then what about that one good student with straight A’s and perfect attendance walks in with one small shaving? This was the question that was left unanswered. Like the 10th grade student Thomas who had got in trouble once for having a small shaving on his jeans. He thinks that the uniform policy is unfair because he says he sees people walking down the hallway with “no collar shirts, and they having shavings on their jeans”. Thomas believes that students should be able to “wear whatever we want”.
Elizabeth who is a 10th grade believes that the uniform policy is fair. She thinks, “We are treated like young adults”. And she thinks “there is nothing wrong with the uniform”. When interviewed she said, “Yeah, we wear what we want to a certain extent, we just cannot go overboard”.
Dwayne Alexander who is a 10th grader recently interviewed Ms. Morson who is the Dean of Students. Mrs. Morson knows that students do not wear the proper uniform when she is not around. “ I don’t think that she is fair” and Dwayne also said that the “uniform policy should not even be apart of the demerit system”.
As a body the students of Constitution High School like this school and think that it is a good school in a very good learning environment. The only problem the students have is that the uniform policy is not being applied fairly and certain students are being shown favoritism.
