Number of words: 1506 - Number of pages: 6

.... small part time gang jobs. Although these are important factors they are not strong enough to make kids do things that are strongly against their morals. One of the ways that kids morals are bent so that gang violence becomes more acceptable is the influence of television and movies. The average child spends more time at a TV than she/he spends in a classroom. Since nobody can completely turn off their minds, kids must be learning something while watching the TV.

Such facts often decide who wins or loses." He characterizes that juries have tendency to like weak people and hate strong people. Jury system seems to have many problems.

Defenders of the death penalty have said it is a deterrent, removes killers, is the ultimate punishment, is biblical, satisfies the public's need for retribution. It has also been said that it relieves the anguish of the victim's family. Realistically, imposing the death penalty is expensive and time consuming. Retroactively, it has yet to be proven as a deterrent. Morally, it is a continuation of the cycle of violence and degrades all who are involved in its enforcement, as well as its victim. Perhaps the most frequent .....

Number of words: 632 - Number of pages: 3

.... upstream, why would you want to go against your group and swim downstream? Within the lesbian community, Ponse (1978) makes reference to two groups. There are many lesbians that claim to have been "born" lesbian. To expand on this subject, one would say these women never questioned their sexual attraction. From day one, they were attracted to other women. Although this is referred to as a primary lesbian, I don’t believe it alleviates any of the stigmas or gives any more comfort or ease to the woman.
