Sexism
Number of words: 512 - Number of pages: 2.... Its this fact that a she is a she and they do not like that a woman would be on the same level as them. Bill Clinton wife "Hilary Clinton" is yet another example of a woman put down for being in control. The newspapers tore Hilary apart for trying to "take over" the President's job. Why would it bother them that she may have been helping out the economy? Once again, the president is a man, and there is no need for a woman to help. Even in my personal everyday experiences is everywhere. And sadly enough, it is accepted Everywhere. In some book women play passive roles, in movies an .....

Capital Punishment
Number of words: 1009 - Number of pages: 4.... They also say that states that have the death penalty have a higher crime rate than those that do not, and therefore it is not effective and somewhat contributes to the problem. I must point out though that states that have the death penalty are usually highly urbanized areas that most likely will have high crime rates because of the large population. Rather, in rural states there is no need for the death penalty because the population is most likely low and scattered throughout the region. States that practice do so because of high crime rates, not vice versa. Abolitionists also stat .....

usually do not outwardly exhibit these feelings, tending instead to be childish in their
thinking, in their need for parental approval, and in their lack of independence.
Psychologists theorize that the patient's desire to control her own life manifests itself in
the realm of eating--the only area, in the patient's mind, where she has the ability to

concern with dieting is esta .....

The Effects Of Television Viol
Number of words: 1625 - Number of pages: 6.... violence causes children to be violent and the effects can be life-long.
The information can't be ignored. Violent television viewing does affect children. The effects have been seen in a number of cases. In New York, a 16-year-old boy broke into a cellar. When the police caught him and asked him why he was wearing gloves he replied that he had learned to do so to not leave fingerprints and that he discovered this on television. In Alabama, a nine-year-old boy received a bad report card from his teacher. He suggested sending the teacher poisoned candy as revenge as he had seen on television .....

Did The Congress Made Amendment 14 To Punish The South?
Number of words: 413 - Number of pages: 2.... other words, if you were a military or
political leader for the Confederate States of America, than you can't hold any
United States, or individual state office. This is punishment to those leaders
of the Confederacy who have committed an act of treason. This is a suitable
punishment for these people who are not suited to hold any office.
Paragraph 4 states that debts incurred in aid of rebellion are void.
This drastically hurts the people who supported the south. If someone had sold
products to the south, expecting that after the war they would get paid a great
sum of money, than they wo .....

“To Legalize Or Not To Legalize”
Number of words: 1850 - Number of pages: 7.... the benefit of trade off drugs. (Toward a Users’ Drug Rights Policy - pages 382-383
There have been many assumptions throughout the years on what effects drugs are causing on society. In the 1960’s, the psychedelic drug movement said that drugs were used as a means of mind expansion, liberation, and ecstasy. Then in the 1980’s drugs were seen as a source of anguish, escapism, and denial of self. Neither of these assumptions are true though. Drug use varies between each individual and most of the time it all starts off with the satisfaction of enjoying the drug in the first pl .....
