Computers (461)

Computers aren’t only annoying, but also entertaining. You can modify your computer in any way possible because it’s yours, and only yours. Computers also read discs called CD-ROM’s that you can play on the computer using the keyboard and mouse. Computers occupy teenagers because they surf the internet looking up whatever comes to mind. These can be entertaining and time consumers for bored children/teenagers.

Cell phones (462)

Cell phones usually always occupy teenagers with some entertainment. They use their phone to text their friends quite frequently. They just think that sort of stuff is fun. Teens use the latest pieces of technology that exists no matter how expensive it is. They think its cool, but it doesn’t change them one bit. Cell phones are supposed to be for calls and for emergencies, it is not a toy.

Toys (463)

A toy is anything a kid places with. A doll is an example of a little girl’s toy. An action figure or robot is an example of a boy’s toy. There are many toys out there, so different kids like different toys. These can also be collectables and come in sets of 3+ at a time.

Wish list (464)

A wish list is anything a person desires but is unable to get it right away. A wish list is anything a person wants that will be entertaining for him to have/see. Once the wish list is used up, the person has gotten/seen all he wanted in his life. Luckily, his wishes might reoccur again in real life, or in his dreams.

Chapter 22: Housing

Shelter guidance (466)

Unless you are a hobo who lives on a street, follow these important facts about housing and living in a house/raising a family in that house.

Buildings (467)

A building is a structure for people to house in an office or in an apartment. A building can be made out of any kind of solid material, mostly common in bricks, red bricks. Red bricks keep a house nice and warm in the winter. These bricks are expensive to buy/install however. Most buildings are made out of metal or cement because it is not very costly. Buildings are widespread to keep people protected from any natural crisis like hurricanes and awful rains. They also give us a nice place with a mattress and blanket were we can lie our heads on pillow and say good night awaiting for the next day.

Apartments (468)

An apartment is a living quarter inside a building. An apartment can have 1-4 bedrooms in it with a kitchen, bathroom, and some closets. A family usually occupies the same apartment for a long time because of the memories it has from the past. It’s hard to sell a cherished apartment with the family air still in it from 20 years later. Apartments are owned by the person who paid to construct the building. A single building can have about 50-70 apartments with 5 floors. Apartments are generally small and not very costly. A bigger apartment means there is more room, which means you need more money to pay for it.

Methods of payment (469)

Paying for an apartment or house takes up a third of your weekly income usually, even half. This thing called rent which means you use something and pay for it until the entire cost is paid off over to the landlord. A landlord is somebody who bought a piece of land and then built or bought a house on that land. Either way, that person needs money to pay the city for land authorization for an “all ready” house or to pay for the equipment he used to build that house. The cost ranges from 400,000 to priceless. The land owner can use tenants to live in his house and help him pay off his city debts.

Housing authority (470)

The housing authority is a city collection of housing control, otherwise housing payments, maintenance, phone number changes, address changes, emergencies, and legal preferences to tenants. This authority keeps track of all the houses in its zip code to remind tenants when they have to pay a mortgage bill or when they have to move out as a fine of not paying a bill. Tenants hate going to this authority because the workers there are sort of bossy in terms of a tenants’ financial problems, but there are just people doing there job.

Building blocks to a building

getting started (471)

As mentioned early, a person can buy land from the city or town they live in. If he buy’s it, it’s his land. He can do whatever he wants with it. The best thing to do with that land is manage it in a way the owner can building a single family house. He needs a lot of imagination skills to picture how his perfect house looks like inside and outside. He also needs a lot of construction material and tons of tool boxes filled with tools. Then, over the course of 3-7 years, he will love what he has done to a plain piece of dirty land.

Fencing/gating (472)

Once the owner has measured the perimeter of his land, he has to recognize it and protect it, of course. He has to put a fence around the whole perimeter of his land. A wooden fence is preferred. The fence should be at least 6 ft. high so nobody can sneak over the fence or see over the fence. There also have to be doors to let the owner get in his land on the fence called a gate. For the future, the owner should still consider putting in a vehicle entrance in the land to easily get in the houses garage. Fencing requires 100’s of wooden boards, bunch of screws and nails, an electrical screwdriver, a hammer, an electrical board cutter, and cans of colored paint for the fencing completion. This amount of work takes 4-8 days to completion depending if there are helpers involved

Foundation (473)

Once the owner put a fence to mark his land, he proceeds to the 2^nd level of construction. Every house needs a foundation and a basement to hold the weight of the house. The owner has to order a truck load of cement blocks, the heavier the better. He has to place them on the perimeter of his house the represent where he wants to put the walls in the first floor of the house. Eventually, he will have level the land with sand, cement and tiles on or above the height of the foundation.

Flooring (474)

Once the foundation is done and covered, the owner can start putting boards in the first floor of the house. The boards (once done) have to be waxed to kill all the potential termites in the wood. Put the boards in the space between the center cement blocks that represent the interior walls in the entire house. This should take about 1, 2 days maximum. Oh, don’t forget to leave some boards in the center cement blocks for the doorway/walkway in between rooms.

Exterior Walls (475)

The exterior walls of the building should be made out of bricks. Bricks make the house warm when it’s freezing outside in the winter because the warmth does not escape the house. You would need about 2 tons of bricks and wet cement to build the exterior walls. The cement makes bricks stick to each other as a whole. That is called a mortar line. Leave of some bricks for the windows and the front and back door. This work should take about 10 days.

Interior walls (476)

The interior walls are a bit different in terms of setting up than the exterior. That is because there are a bunch of electrical wires and water pipes in there that transport water and electrical energy all over the house. In reference to the electricity chapter, there is a main power line that runs up and down a street. There is an electrical box near every single house. When the house is almost finished, the owner hires an electrician to set a wire to his house from the electrical box, the main power source. That wire that runs in his house has to give power to all the light switches in the house through the interior walls. Also, the house consists of outlets that are connect to the main power line (source) as well. The same principal is with pipe lines. There is a well near all single family houses with a hose and a huge disconnect pipe. When that pipe is connected to the well, the water can run into the walls of the house from underground to enter the kitchen and the bathroom. There has to be a series of skinny pipes inside one of the interior walls to direct hot/cold water where needed. The water is not drinkable unless the owner buys a filter and sets it in that huge main pipe line. A boiler is connect somewhere in the house to heat cold water.

Ceiling (477)

The ceiling has to be level with the height of the interior walls. You need boards for the ceiling that are long enough to connect the tops of the interior walls. They have to be cemented with at least a foot in thickness to stabilize the 2^nd floor. Then you have to put ceiling tiles over the cemented boards to make it look elegant. Don’t forget to leave room for the stairwell to the second floor from the 1^st floor.

Front porch (478)

The porch is a part of a single family house where a person smokes or relaxes, enjoying the fresh outdoor air. The porch can also be the main entrance of the house. The porch has to be parallel with the foundation. The foundation is high, so the porch needs some stairs. The stairs should be bricked with concrete on the surface. The porch itself should be in the center of the front side the house with a length of 5m and width of 2m. That is enough room to put flowers and chairs in it, as well as the door and the welcome mat. The floor should be hard wood, also parallel to the ceiling of the 1^st floor. The low side of the porch should be bricked to match the stairs. Don’t forget to put some support on each edge for the porch ceiling or its going to tumble.

Afterwards…

Maintenance going forward (479)

Once a house is built, the owner has to maintain it. The house has many fragile installments in it that will eventually need repairing over the course of 2-5 years. That’s why the owner always should have a tool box in hand in case of emergency fixtures needed to be done. If the owner has a house but doesn’t live there himself and there is a problem with it, the tenants living in that house cannot fix the property without the owner coming to inspect if it really is damaged or not. Tenants have limited rights against the owner of the occupied house/apartment. Tenants, however, do not have to pay for the fixtures to their rented apartment in a house unless they are guilty of causing the damage. The owner pays for it anyways, with the tenant paying extra billing for the repairs the owner did or hired if they are guilty.

Demolition/next generation (480)

Unfortunately, a house does age like we do. Houses can be on the ground for hundreds of years. Houses usually get demolished if it is unsafe to provide housing to tenants, or it might get demolished due to majorly poor repairmen conditions. The worst case scenario of that happening is a natural disaster such as an earthquake or tornado. If this happens, the owner is fairly in trouble. He is responsible for the tenant’s safety unless a natural disaster happens. The government will try its best to pay for the damages, leading to an economic crisis. Otherwise, if the house is alive, and the owner died with tenants still living there, the original owners family member will take over the business.

Moving (481)

Tenants come and go quite often from house to house. Moving is costly in any direction (in or out). Moving means to order a truck and put all their stuff in it and transporting it to the new house. Moving can be beneficial, but in most cases critical. Tenants may have to move because the tenant gave them an order to do so involving disobeying the landlord tenant law. Benefactors include the case of raising the income of a family, deciding whether to move out or not in their budget.

Chapter 23: Health Guidence

Health Stages (482)

There are 5 stages of health that apply to all human beings that lead them to a healthy life. The proper definition of a healthy life is a normal life the person considers to him. That means it is a person’s option of their way of living. This chapter covers all things necessary a healthy person would need, not a normal person precisely.

Stage 1: Physical Health (483)

Physical Health is the health stage were a person is known to be physically healthy. To maintain physical health, one must have the ability to exercise often to maintain a physically healthy looking body. Next, the person must control their eating habits because if he does not, he may develop a physical disease such as diabetes that leads to a physically unhealthy persons obesity. If a person can accomplish one of the 2 physical successes, he is has good Physical Health. If one fails both of these needs, he is not physically healthy, which can lead to obesity as well as being lazy and crave for food.

Stage 2: Mental Health (484)

Mental Health is the health stage where a person is known to be mentally healthy. To maintain mental health, one must have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. Also, he has to respect any over the counter drugs that can lead to mental instability such as vodka and heroin. If a person can accomplish one of the 2 mental successes, he has good mental health. If one fails on both of these successes, he is not mentally healthy, which can lead to the disability to think as well as not controlling their life due to the influenced of drugs being abused. As mentioned many times throughout the book, mental instability is extremely not recommended in a person because it has a bunch of negative issues.

Stage 3: Emotional Health (485)

Emotional health is the health stage where a person is known to be emotionally healthy. To maintain emotional health, one must have a good sense of who they actually are to maintain a good level self-esteem, or belief in oneself. Also, one must be able to not be affected by negative emotions surrounding him. He can be sympathetic, but must keep his own perfect mood. Failure in emotional health results in having mood swings constantly and having a low rank of self-esteem, otherwise being unable to stand up to people who are pushing the person down, unable to gain success under the will.

Stage 4: Social Health (486)

Social health is the health stage where a person is known to be socially healthy within their society. To maintain Social Health, one must have the ability to carry long term commitments or relationships with no failure and accept the persons gender, being aware of the diseases they carry and trying his best to treat or cure them. Failure in social health means the person does not have the proper ability to communicate with other people, especially of different gender. This also means the person is not aware of what diseases he might carry, leading to imperfection of the other stages of health.

Stage 5: Spiritual Health (487)

Spiritual Health is the health stage where a person is known to be spiritually healthy. To maintain spiritual health one must not be deprived of sleep, controlling his rest and relaxation periods of the day and have the ability to solve conflicts as quickly as possible to avoid a potentially catastrophic situation. Failure in spiritual health means a person is deprived of sleep and has too much in his mind to even think of rest and he can cause an enormous amount of conflicts in his life that he cannot stop, just getting worse and worse as he ages.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs (488)

Maslows Heirarchy of needs is a like a pyramid of needs that is James Maslow’s theory of maintaining success in a person. The pyramid states that one must accomplish physiological needs, then safety needs, then love needs, then self-esteem, then success in reaching self-actualization.

Physiological needs (489)

Accomplishment in getting the physiological needs a person needs to have no trouble accessing whatever is necessary in terms of his consumption. A person has to have access to food and water basically. This is the first level of the pyramid because it is the most important level of gaining success, having to worry about food and water cannot determine whether a person can reach safety, love, self-esteem, and success.

Safety needs (490)

Accomplishment in getting the safety needs a person needs to have no trouble finding shelter. Shelter can be found after physiological needs have been accomplished because a person first worries about where to get food and water, and then a nice place to live in for warmth and protection. Without having a descent place to stay or sleep in warmth and protection, the person can’t possibly be successful.

Love needs (491)

Accomplishment in getting the love needs a person needs to have a relationship with his family and friends in a positive way. Having to do that can only be done once a person finds a descent place to live at. He expresses his appreciation to the people who might have provided him the place to live at for his shelter benefit, such as his parents. After that, he can have the ability to belief in him being successful.

Self-esteem (492)

Self-esteem is not an accomplishment, but a fulfillment because the needs have been met to reach self-esteem, which is belief in oneself in success, which is the final level of the pyramid. If one can believe, one can achieve.

Self actualization/the theory of success (493)

Self actualization is fulfillment of Maslow’s theory of accomplishments leading to success. The theory of success is the summary of Maslow’s Heirarchy of needs. The theory of success applies to every emotionally healthy person out there. There is however another creator that summarizes how a person lives in terms of conflicts and stages of life…

Erikson’s theory of life (494)

Charles Erikson is the creator of the basic stages of life he proved a person goes through with involvement of conflicts and benefactors in a stage. He describes 7 stages of life as follows.

Infancy (495)

Infancy is the first stage of Erikson’s theory. This stage involves the conflict trust vs. mistrust with the infants family. This stage has the person in the process of getting accepted to the family, or being adopted if the person cannot be treated by his biological parents.

Toddler (496)

Toddler is the second stage of Erikson’s theory. This stage involves the conflict autonomy vs. shame and doubt. Autonomy is when a toddler is capable of learning simple tasks that take him through life, then doing them automatically. A good example is toilet training and gaining independence. If a child does not develop autonomy, he will lack independence with may lead to shame or doubt for a good while until the child has a feel of autonomy. The child is considered to be pre-matured if he delays in autonomy.

Preschool age (497)

Preschool age is the third stage of Erikson’s theory. This stage involves the conflict Initiative vs. guilt. Being initiative means having the will to explore some new things at this age of life. Exploration leads to having the knowledge of future difficulties the child may encounter. Success in this stage leads to superiority to the explored environment and a sense of purpose. The child is considered guilty if he is too emotional about his environment.

School age (498)

School age is the fourth stage of Erikson’s theory. This stage involves the conflict Industry vs. Inferiority. Industry means the child must learn to cope with school and new academic and social demands. In other words, the child should get a sense of who school impacts his life as well as friendships. He becomes inferior if doesn’t understand the concept of schooling a child and having several friendships. Inferiority is when the child is too independent and doesn’t care about this stage.

Adolescence (499)

Adolescence is the fifth and possibly the most import stage of Erikson’s theory. The stage involves the conflict Identity vs. role confusion. The person’s identity has to be found in order to be successful in this stage. If the person doesn’t know his self-identity, he will be confused, which can lead to trouble in succession social and spiritual health. He also will have trouble in getting self-esteem. Success in this stage leads to having long term friendships belonging in the persons peer group.

Young Adulthood (500)

Young adulthood is the sixth stage of Erikson’s theory. This stage involves the conflict Intimacy vs. Isolation. Intimacy means being capable of developing long term commitments such as marriages. Failure means the person will be lonely and isolated living with the people who already do care for him, but not new people he should be cared for.
