    So what does a Lawyer do? Lawyers advise and represent legal clients during court proceedings and through legal transactions. Things however aren't that simple, as some lawyers serve different duties depending on what type of lawyer they are. For example there are six types of lawyer; Environmental Lawyer, Family Lawyer, Intellectual Property Lawyer, Security Lawyer, Personal Injury Lawyer, and Tax Lawyer. There are many different uses for Lawyers, but they all grind down to legal advice, management, and representation. Now you can ask, what does a lawyer make? A lawyer can make up to $70.08 dollars an hour, and $145,760 annually. Lawyers tend to work in a formal office setting, and they also travel to meet with clients at various locations. Work tends to be stressful to lawyers such as during trials and nearing legal deadlines. Now what kind of education does a lawyer need? Usually seven years of full time education, which tends to be four years of undergrad school and three years of law school. 

    In my opinion as a legal student, this was a bit of an eye opener, but also, I knew what I was getting myself into when I decided to take this career path. I also approve of the pay, reaching six that could hopefully make me a house owner before my mid thirties! But all jokes aside, hearing the career is high stress is a bit daunting, and then that word, "Deadlines" makes my skin crawl.

    So what exactly is the CSGC? The CSGC is a website/organization designed to help you pursue a career of your choosing (if you are qualified), help you build your resume, find education for certain jobs, offer financial tools, and give you labor market data. They also help you train for your job with face to face meetings, and will help you further your career with workforce guidance, which is supported by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. They offer services such as books, paying for tuition, and training supplies. 

    I actually really appreciate this service. It can help people who feel hopeless in pursing a career and education for a career. This opens up doors for people who need further training later in a career, or people who can't exactly afford to pay for education straight out of pocket.

  SOCILOGICAL STUDY: The Marriage Paradox The Authors:   W. Bradford Wilcox ,  Alan J. Hawkins Weblink to the article:   https://doi.org/10.1002/pam.22637 Theory: The Marriage Paradox is a theory that is based on the increasing rate of divorces in the last six decades. The reason they found this is for a varying plethora of reasons, but the main one was the fact that the values and virtues that once upheld a long and loving marriage, one of these values being monogamy. The study then goes on to say that for men, women, and children that are in a marriage are said to be happier, healthier and financially more secure. However in more recent years the cultural demographic for marriage has been downplayed even though they have been proven to be true through study (for what we are to believe from the outside). Thus came the "Marriage Paradox", where marriage is viable, however it isn't exactly given credit where it is due. The Research Methodology: The study's Research s...

However, that question can mean a lot more than you think , mentioning what kind of pets you have could reveal more than you intend to . For example owners with cats and dogs have better physical health than non owners or owners of a whole other type of pet , fewer also visit the doctor more often than non owners , and tend to be less lonely .

Community Diversity and Child Advocacy   Article: The Hidden Side of Migration: Understanding sexuality as an aspiration to migrate Authors: Dilvin Dilara Usta, Mustafa F. Ozbilgin  https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/sociology/articles/10.3389/fsoc.2022.1027268/full         The Article by Dilvin and Mustafa, is based around the "hidden side of migration" and this article dives into that theme being sexuality. The first point they make is that some places aren't exactly secure or safe for someone who fits outside the social norm. The study examines the sexuality and gender identity of these migrants leaving their home country to find a more welcoming and suitable home. The article then mentions something called the toxic triangle, which is a hostile environment, structures and cultures that hold away freedom to sexuality. This then leads to the vast migration of people who don't fit the norm, they risk getting put through imprisonment or even death...
