.... every 6 minutes, a crime is committed against women. Every 7 minutes a woman is raped, every 45 minutes a woman is kidnapped or abducted. 335 of women are subjected to cruelty. 17 dowry deaths are reported every day. In the reading done this semester it is shown that the treatment of women in India is not often understood. "The Shroud", written by Prem Chand, is a perfect example on how women are disrespected by their husbands. The women in the story dies during childbirth and her husband is worried too much about his own enjoyment than purchasing a proper shroud for her to be .....

.... society as a whole and almost every aspect of each individual. Conformity is the tendency of an individual to change their thinking and behavior to the social norms. The most apparent effect of conformity is shown in fashion and style. I ponder whether the majority of our population like the clothes they wear because they actually like them, not just because everybody else is wearing them. I find it hard to believe that 9 out of 10 people just have to own at least 12 articles of clothing sporting the Nike Swoosh, because it is that irresistible. I am not proclaiming myself a nonconformis .....

.... the pressure to impress their friends with fashionable clothing. Not worrying about how to dress unique will allow students to develop their individuality and creativity. President Clinton also supports this view, “Young people will learn to evaluate themselves by what they are on the inside instead of what they’re wearing on the outside” (Discount Store News). Wearing uniforms will produce a sense of belonging that the students will share. School uniforms are certainly very cost and time efficient for parents. Many department stores, such as Sears and K-Mart, work with the school .....

.... states that death is equated with irreversible coma. This view has been challenged; however, as medical advanced have made it possible to sustain respiration and cardiac functioning through mechanical means. Thus, more recently, the concept of brain death has gained acceptance. In this view, the irreversible loss of brain activity is the sign that death has occurred. By the late 1980’s brain death, as an essential sign of death, was accepted by the majority of institutes in North America. Even the concept of brain death has been challenged in recent years. Because a person can lose all cap .....

.... the aboltionists quickly gave way to traditional segregist beliefs. Despite the end of the war on the battlefield, the war at home witihin society still raged. "Black Codes" replaced "Slave Codes". Blacks could not vote, hold office or speak to a White person. Riots in Memphis, Tennessee and New Orleans became "victories for white people" in the spring of 1866. A local newspaper even said, "Thank heaven the White race are once more rulers of Memphis." In 1867 white fears became realized as blacks became enfranchised for the upcoming political convention. Supremeacy groups such as .....

.... familiar with very few people so recognition by facial features was difficult. A coat of arms was more far reaching and well known than the appearance of the man. It gave the bearer a sort of graphic catch phrase that was noticed and perceived more than the actual features of the man. The coat of arms also proudly represents an active relationship between past and present family members. It creates a visible link to the past and a proud statement about family members accomplishments and honor. The coat creates a family bond and promotes the idea of a family joined together by an unbreak .....

.... saying goes: “Monkey see, monkey do.” It may sound like a cheap cliche, but there is a lot of truth to it. While raising a child, a parent might find that sometimes the child is not learning the morals that the parent is trying to instill in their child. In that case, a parent should discipline him. Discipline shows the importance of values in a whole different way. When a child is punished for something he or she did that was wrong, he or she learns not to do it in fear of being punished, but after a while the child accepts the given value for what it is. Punishment can be do .....

.... only have one parental role model to draw their elements of social integration from. Also, since our society is obviously based on two-sexes, these children are emerging unbalanced and unprepared to deal with the pressures and demands a two-sex society has. The text states that these children tend to live in homes with less income. In divorce situations, the income is being split between two households, and sometimes two separate families. This is an added strain not only on the parents, but the children who have to struggle with the emptiness of that complete family unit. In cases of .....

.... all of the problems that every teenager must face. For example, I just went through a rough time after my boyfriend broke up with me Saturday night, the day before Valentine’s Day. Not only was my best friend able to comfort me, but also my parents. My best friend told me that I should no longer let guys beguile their way into stressing me out, and that all guys are ‘jerks’. It was touching to have my parents willing to listen to my situation, giving me advice that I could use. It’s hard watching my friends walk down the path that leads to destruction. It’s hard standing .....
