About Me:
Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston on January 17, 1706. He was the tenth son of soap maker, Josiah Franklin. Benjamin's mother was Abiah Folger, the second wife of Josiah. In all, Josiah would father 17 children.
Josiah intended for Benjamin to enter into the clergy. However, Josiah could only afford to send his son to school for one year and clergymen needed years of schooling. But, as young Benjamin loved to read he had him apprenticed to his brother James, who was a printer. After helping James compose pamphlets and set type which was grueling work, 12-year-old Benjamin would sell their products in the streets.
Music:
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Movies:
The Lord said "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."
TV:
So no one told you life was gonna be this way. Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA. It's like you're always stuck in second gear, when it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year. But, I'll be there for you.

Are you ready to tell a certain woman you really like her? Consider these tips to help you express your feelings to a woman.
1. Think about what you want to say, and consider when, where and how you're going to say it. Plan your strategy in advance to avoid any spur-of-the-moment slip-ups.
2. Speak for yourself. Don't give someone else the opportunity to tell her about your feelings before you have the chance to talk to her personally.
3. Choose your timing with care. Wait until the right moment. Don't blurt out your feelings in the middle of a crowded room or when she's rushing out the door.
4. Select a private place to express your feelings. Don't make the announcement in front of a group. Wait until you have a chance to talk with her alone.
5. Appeal to her sense of honesty and sincerity. Don't use the same old lines that she's heard a million times. Think about all the reasons why you really like her and tell her about those reasons in a sincere, honest manner.
6. Consider the direct approach, such as, "You know, I really like spending time with you. In fact, I really like you...."
7. Be original! If the thought of directly telling her about your feelings terrifies you, express your feelings in poem.

Vices:
The popular one-hour police drama Miami Vice aired on NBC from 1984 to 1989. Miami Vice combined elements from traditional "cop shows" with an emphasis on high fashion, exotic locations, and music-video sequences. The show depicted an interracial pair of detectives who battled the narcotics trade in southern Florida. The series starred Don Johnson (1949?) and Philip Michael Thomas (1949?) as undercover detectives Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs. Miami's glamorous beaches and resorts were contrasted with the city's under-belly of corruption, violence, and tragedy that resulted from drug trafficking.
Virtues:
For many of us, the fundamental question of ethics is, "What should I do?" or "How should I act?" Ethics is supposed to provide us with "moral principles" or universal rules that tell us what to do. Many people, for example, read passionate adherents of the moral principle of utilitarianism: "Everyone is obligated to do whatever will achieve the greatest good for the greatest number." Others are just as devoted to the basic principle of Immanuel Kant: "Everyone is obligated to act only in ways that respect the human dignity and moral rights of all persons."

The contributions of many American heroes in the 20th century are still recognized, but younger generations will soon need modern heroes to look up to as role models. Public figures in today's America would do well to embrace the same values and ideologies as the 10 persons selected by the author as 20th century heroes. A majority of the historians consulted for this project agreed that the following 10 persons, in no particular order, could be considered American heroes of the 20th century.
