.... on the ideology inherent in today's structures and places. Unique to our times are trends such as 'xeroxed' landscapes and chains where you can eat in an identical chair on opposites sides of the country. Uncommitted 'democratically functional' interior spaces seem to make the occupant feel not quite fully present yet not absent either. James Joyce's aesthetic criteria would designate the common commercial "strip" -- ugly heaps of lights and billboards -- as fundamentally pornographic: they arouse us to move horizontally toward a desired object rather than vertically toward a higher con .....

.... of a beer commercial: All the fun of the regular grass, with only a third of the maintenance. Monsanto, AstroTurf's original manufacturer, had an ace in hole as well; grass doesn't grow very well in domes. Seduced by visions of conquering Mother Nature and paying a couple kids minimum wage to run a vacuum cleaner over the field between games, stadium executives across the nation bought into the AstroTurf movement. However, as the powers that be soon discovered f or themselves, AstroTurf proved to be neither cheaper nor lower maintenance than grass, and it had a nasty little side effect .....

.... no longer address and leaves the victim of the discourse reduced to plain and pure denial. The content has become a set of prejudicial belief (cliches). To remind you of the famous aphorism: "the pen is mightier than the sword" He writes: "Orientalism is fundamentally a political doctrine willed over the orient because the orient was weaker than the west." Though injustice has already been served and the political establishment is capitalizing on those cliches, it is interesting to notice that SAID himself already looks at the orient with orientalism (western eye). Was the orient reall .....

.... and female sex organs, it may be difficult to tell whether a human hermaphrodite is a female with overdeveloped clitoris or a male with underdeveloped penis, cleft scrotum, and nondescendant testes.2 Recently, many persons have undergone surgical or hormone treatment to modify their nonfunctioning sex characteristics and emphasize the sex indicated by those that are functional. occurs in the great majority of flowering plants, and sometimes occurs in many invertebrate animals. It occurs occasionally in other fishes, in frogs, toads, and certain newts among the amphibians. True functiona .....

.... public has embraced the visual aspect of TV and shown an interest in world events like never before. Television has given the common man the power to see and learn about other cultures thousands of miles away. Through the power of TV broadcasting, images and ideas can be viewed from around the world. In the fifties and sixties America was gripped with fear over the spread of communism. This fear stemmed from an overall ignorance of the Soviet Union and their allies. It was through television news stories that the majority of the American population began to understand and accept the dif .....

.... of ten. This may be due in part to the probability that an infant will learn how to trust, where as a ten-year-old may have more difficulty with this task, depending on his history. Eric Erickson, a developmental theorist, discusses trust issues in his theory of development. The first of Erickson’s stages of development is Trust v. Mistrust. A child who experiences neglect or abuse can have this stage of development severely damaged. An adopted infant may have the opportunity to fully learn trust, where as an older child may have been shuffled from foster home to group home as an .....

.... the material needed to get a good mark on a test, and everything is forgotten within a few days. The student gets the A, and in turn has learned nothing. People assume that students who have all A's are always more intelligent than students whose grades aren't quite as high. For example, Susan could take Mickey Mouse classes all year long, pull straight A's, and walk away with less knowledge than Philip, who has taken more difficult classes and passed with B's and C's. Some students have figured out exactly what they need to do to get a good grade. They do just that, and walk away whe .....

.... necessitated modifications to the original blueprint. Extensive study and redesigning resulted in the DH3-3 Otter, originally called the King Beaver. According to Max Ward, long-time user of DHC aircraft and founder of Wardair, "The Otter changed the whole transportation picture in the Arctic…For the first time we could carry full sheets of plywood." However, with changing needs of bush and utility operations in Canada's northern regions, it wasn't long before appeals came for a safer twin-engine version with an even larger payload. DHC accepted the challenge and, utilizing .....

.... the same time America has managed to keep the same percentage of its students from drinking entirely for the last five years, binge drinking has been on the rise (Thompson, J.J. 63). While 49 percent of college students binge, only 28 percent of their non-college counterparts do (McCormick, John; Kalb, Claudia 89), clearly illustrating the divide that exists between students and non-students. These figures are upsetting in that one would expect universities to be the breeding ground for new leaders and innovative thinkers in society while these figures make today's college campuses look l .....

.... even though insignificant causes of pain are inevitable, the things that mean the most can be maintained, and misery is optional. Pain can in some ways be prevented, with the help of preventative measures like wearing a seat belt in a car, a wearing a helmet and pads before going out biking. Even though these measures are applied, there are some things that cannot be controlled, and luck also plays a factor in a person encountering pain. First of all, every time a person goes outside there is a chance that an accident will occur. If someone looses control of thei .....
