Are You Ready To Go Camping?

It’s that time of year for family vacations. The warmer weather brings out the outdoorsy side of some people. It’s the perfect time to let those people be outdoorsy and it would be fun for you to tag along too. The trip itself can be very relaxing.

Camping can be a fun experience, you get to try a different way of living. Of course, everyone is way more comfortable in their own beds and climate controlled homes. However, camping is a chance to rough it and live with nature. You can feel at one with the world around you because there are far less distractions. Being out with nature can be a really humbling experience. It is a chance to see how far humans have come.

Camping provides us with unique, delicious meals that can only be found outdoors. There is something about the smell of a campfire, and the taste of s’mores that can make just about anyone’s heart swoon. It’s not just the s’mores that are to die for, it’s the different way of making pancakes in the morning with bacon. The campfire and nature around you seem to season the food just right.

Camping doesn’t need to just be in a tent. There are plenty of ways to experience the outdoor world. If camping in a tent seems too rough for you, you can always rent a cabin, trailer, or RV. If you want to rough it more, you can always sign up for a horseback riding camping trip where you travel on horseback for several days, and can only carry what your horse can. No matter what your style is, there are plenty of ways to get your outdoors on.

Going camping may seem daunting at first, however, it can be a lot of fun once you figure it out. Doing stuff like this is where people get the best stories to tell their friends. No one wants to talk about how they leveled up in a game, but they will talk about the time they accidentally ate a bug.

Camping is a great opportunity to step away from all the distractions and get outside to breathe some fresh air.

 

The Bully Epidemic

The Bully Epidemic

W.D. Ross was a man who believed that we as humans had a duty to do the morally right thing. He created the seven prima facie duties that we could use to help determine if we were on the “right path”. For some of us, the right path can be unclear. While others may see the world as black and white, some see the world in many varying shades of gray.

One of Ross’ prima facie duties is of beneficence. This particular duty is about doing well to others. It’s about bettering the human condition in which we are all affected by. The prima facie duty of beneficence is about harm prevention. In order to live by Ross’ prima facie duties, one must go down the morally right path. This means we must acknowledge that we shouldn’t harm others.

Bullying has been an issue throughout the ages, but has gotten worse in today’s world. The 2011 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey finds that 16% of high school students (grades 9-12) were electronically bullied in the past. In today’s world, bullying is creative and can be part of the victim’s daily life.

The National Center for Education Statistics and Bureau of Justice Statistics indicates that 6% of students in grades 6–12 experienced cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is when one person verbally or mentally, attacks another person through social media.

Cyberbullying is morally wrong.

When bullies are harming others online, they are not following the prima facie duty of beneficence. When a kid/teenager is being bullied online, they are often bullied in person as well. This makes it harder for the victim to get away from the bully or harassment.

The problem is that this is not just the pecking order or how to give kids “tougher” skin. This is a serious issue because bullying leads to suicide. “It is the third-leading cause of death for young people ages 15 to 24, surpassed only by homicide and accidents,” according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention. As family members, we should be concerned about loved ones around us. We need to be involved with them so that we can notice if they are being bullied.

Being aware of the issue of bullying is one thing, but taking action is another.

If you suspect that someone is being bullied, don’t just sit there and let it happen. Report it to a trusted individual and work to put an end to the problem. If more people step up and work together to stop bullying, we could put an end to this epidemic.

Nightly Routine To Keep Your Stuff Safe

Nobody ever wants to have to deal with their stuff being stolen or broken. After all, everyone really likes their stuff, and wants to protect it as best as they can. However, some people don’t actually do a whole lot to keep their stuff safe from thieves and crooks. Most people feel safe at home, which is a very good thing. Unfortunately, this can lead to people being careless with their valuables.

Many people will often fall into a false sense of security at home. They feel so secure at home, they begin to think that nothing bad will ever happen. This is not the case. Homes and vehicles are broken into all of the time. These kinds of things happen even more frequently at night, once everyone is asleep.

One particular practice of thieves is referred to as “car-hopping.” This practice is where a thief walks down a street, checking every car to see if it is unlocked. If they do find an unlocked vehicle, then they quickly search it for anything valuable. Once they are done, they close the door and move onto the next vehicle.

Here are precautions that you can take to keep your important and valuable items safe from criminals.

  • Lock you vehicle doors every night.
  • Lock all of your house doors every night.
  • Remove valuable items from your car.
  • Turn on exterior lights.

Doing all of this is a part of a practice dubbed the #9PMRoutine. The idea is to make sure that everything of yours is locked up and secure by 9 p.m. to ensure its safety. By doing this, you can deter criminals from taking your stuff, and keep it safe.
