Multiculturalism In The United States
Number of words: 774 - Number of pages: 3.... from other countries because that in
this country are living representatives of all cultures. It is normal to
meet people from all over the world in most every city; what is not normal
is the idea of understanding that a lot of people are Americans, people
born and raised in the US. These citizens might not seem to be Americans,
but they are as American as any American.
Ronald Takaki in his essay, “An Educated and Cultural Literate
Person Must Study America's Multicultural Reality”, gives an excellent

Public School Issues
Number of words: 548 - Number of pages: 2.... groups.”
Critics of this multiculturalism movement have opposing views. Many see the program as divisive and even ”anti-American” because it encourages students to find their ethnic identity instead of trying to identify with a united American culture. It is also a common belief that a “alternative” cultural education would impede the progress of the basic learning skills that were the backbone of the educational process.
I strongly believe multicultural education and its evolutionary reform is a necessity in our educational systems--especially because of our global ex .....

Knights And Chivalry
Number of words: 935 - Number of pages: 4.... Middle
Ages, rulers formed secular orders of chivalry such as the English Order of
the Garter and the Burgundian Order of the Golden Fleece. By this time,
however, chivalry had become largely a system of etiquette. Tournaments, in
which knights had originally risked their lives in jousting combat before
the ladies, became simply elaborate, stylized, and harmless entertainments.
Moreover, the expense of this and other trappings of knighthood led many
nobles who were eligible for knighthood, having served the customary
apprenticeship of 7 years as a page at a noble court and another 7 as a .....

Jay18: I am a really great poet, but all of the kids in my class are pretty warped about it. I basically hide it from them because I don't need that hassle.

The best known supporter of realistic theory was Hans Morganthau, author of, Politics Among Nations, coined the idea that states must seek to be the most important actor, seek to increase their power, and logically deduct the business of international relations. These three principles are the core of what Morganthau called “Political Realism.” While Realism may seem practical, it is not above criticism.

factor,' an engineering principle of critical importance" (page 757). I cannot
take a chance in helping people if it is going to put me in risk.
Instead of giving the money to non Americans it should be used only in
America. The money used to help the poorer countries can be very useful in the
United States. The middle class people in America get no help. More of that
money can go toward the middle class families. The middle class families work
had for their money. The government helps poor families with food, housing,
education and many more thin .....

The Use And Abuse The American Language
Number of words: 708 - Number of pages: 3.... in the article, the number of hours I spend watching television. I enjoy watching television; it’s an entertainment for me when I’m bored. I spend about five hours watching television, while I’m eating, doing my homework and talking on the phone. This is an example how I rather spend my time watching at a screen with pictures and not paying attention to the language, rather than sitting down and reading a book. By reading a book we learn many things, not only to picture the images in our heads but we also learn how to enhance our grammar and our language Reading was a form of ent .....

Crime
Number of words: 726 - Number of pages: 3.... have all decreased at least three
percent in recent years but that is not much. There is one exception; rape
which has gone up 3 percent. Violent crime has risen 40.9 since 1983 while in
recent years it has only gone down a tenth of a percent. This may be one of the
reasons people feel less safe. People aren't afraid of larceny or property
crimes. They are afraid of violent crimes, which is why is recent years they
feel insecure.
Many people believe the problem is in the trial system itself. Not
enough people are convicted. In our trial system where you are innocent until

Women In Africa
Number of words: 2373 - Number of pages: 9.... in getting their concerns at the forefront of national interest, at
what, if anything, were they successful?
In several instances women became so angered by their lack of voice,
that they were moved to act. In some of these cases, women were relatively
successful in organizing and mobilizing. The story of the Aba Riots, which is
discussed in both The Warrant Chiefs and African Women, proves this point well.
In Nigeria, in the late 1920's, the Warrant Chiefs wanted to impose a system of
annual taxation. What was so displeasing to the people about the tax was that
it involved a cens .....
