Number of words: 3118 - Number of pages: 12.... transformation and "reform" of the welfare state has huge implications on the lives of many women, and not only those who are dependent on welfare for their livelihood.

The Need For Americans To Vote
Number of words: 448 - Number of pages: 2.... as
often as humanly possible should be rewarded, maybe with something more
than an “I voted” sticker which ends up in the trash can a day later anyway.
If the government were to give a $50 tax break to everyone who voted, I

much to do before would suddenly have a few minutes to spare. I also think
that all polling places should replace the “I voted” stickers, with an “I
voted” stamp on the right hand of everyone who votes. This would be a good
way to reduce the amount of people who vote more than once, which .....

Number of words: 374 - Number of pages: 2.... should be
punished for their crimes, and that it does not matter whether it will deter the

I stopped talking to a friend because he was so addicted to this
horrible drug called Speed. One thing I noticed is he was a totally different
person when he was using speed. Whenever he was high on the drug he was a great
guy with all this incredible energy, nothing would ever possibly make him upset.

Gender Role Reversal
Number of words: 515 - Number of pages: 2.... being a male would not being able to buy and wear female clothing. I wanted to make sure that I took into consideration what is negative about the entire gender role itself from a male's perspective. So, I got onto the Internet and joined a transsexuals chat channel. I felt this would give me a great new point of view about being a male. One valid issue that I feel society has made men view as being horrible is men buying and wearing female clothing. One male mentions how females can buy boys' items or girls', and are not viewed with amazement. I, for one, have and do on occasion wear men's c .....

As the years go by, we see a higher and higher divorce rate. As
