Violence In Sports
Number of words: 1245 - Number of pages: 5.... derive a sense of social identity and self-esteem from a team. Emulation of favorite players is an element of this identification. Group solidarity with players and coaches leads to a view of opposing teams as enemies and fosters hostility towards the "outgroup" and, by extension, its supporters, geographical locale, ethnic group, and perceived social class (Lee, p. 45).
Mass media also contribute to the acceptability of sports. Leonard (p. 166) maintains that the media occupies a paradoxical position. On the one hand it affords ample exposure to sports-related violence via television, .....

Juvenile Crime: Crime Rates
Number of words: 399 - Number of pages: 2.... 0.5% of young people commit violent crimes. (³
Crime Time Bomb,² U.S. News & World Report, March 25, 1996)
Current social trends do little to contradict the dire predictions made
about youth crime rates. Nearly all the factors that contribute to youth crime

to help break the cycle of poverty and crime.
Predicting a generation¹s future crime pattern is, of course, risky.
Especially when outside factors remain unpredictable (Will dru .....

Is History Destined To Repeat Itself? McCarthyism In The New Millennium
Number of words: 649 - Number of pages: 3.... of this. The brutal thugs who murdered Matthew Shepard simply because of his sexual orientation deserve swift and certain punishment. Their acts are despicable. Unfortunately, a new form of McCarthyism is welling up in the aftermath of this crime, and it is despicable, too.
Ignoring the pleas of grieving father Dennis Shepard not to "use [his son] Matt as part of an agenda," homosexual organizations have rushed to exploit young Shepard's tragic death in Wyoming. A number of gay, lesbian, bisexual and "transgendered" groups are blaming anti-gay organizations; the Family Research Council .....

The Roman Society
Number of words: 1085 - Number of pages: 4.... in many wars to help Rome gain power,
demanded more rights. The government slowly began to change to appeal to
plebeians who out-numbered everyone else in population.
Around 494 B.C., an Assembly of Centuries and an Assembly of Tribes rly
of Centuries and an Assembly of Tribes replaced the popular assembly. The
Assembly of Centuries represented the Roman Army and all the classes that were
included in it and they elected the consuls. The Assembly of Tribes was made up

influence on the government.
In 445 B.C, .....

Number of words: 2553 - Number of pages: 10.... neighborhoods characterized by social disorganization and violence, parental criminality and substance abuse, inconsistent and/or harsh parenting practices, low socioeconomic status, and exposure to media violence.11
The most important of these factors appear to be low socioeconomic status, having parents who have been convicted of crimes, the child's low cognitive ability(especially poor verbal ability), poor parental child rearing, and the child's own history of antisocial behavior, conduct disorder, or troublesomeness.12 In one study of boys in London, for example, the 8- to 10-ye .....

Materialism Is The Root Of All Evil
Number of words: 529 - Number of pages: 2.... our
materialistic American dream, to get ahead in life, to be somebody, to pursue
our own happiness. Even our own Declaration of Independence assumes we are
individuals first and for most: "We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that
all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of
Happiness. . ." For Americans to be primarily self-reliant and selfish is not
surprising. Americans only do what is beneficial to themselves, if it helps
someone along the way, then that's great, but helping p .....

Skaters And Stereotypes
Number of words: 1544 - Number of pages: 6.... in Cocoa Beach Florida (Tomlin1). He went to high school and actually graduated. The reason I say this is because most people like Kelly (surfers knowing they are going to go professional) never graduate high school. Kelly grew up in Florida all his life. He was a local hero in central Florida, because everyone knew he was destined to make it as a professional surfer (Tee Interview). From 1992 thru 1994 Kelly placed first in the Maui Pro, second in the Maui Masters, and third place in the Rip Curl Pro, the Chiemesee Pipe Masters, and the Gotcha Lacanau Pro (Solano1). In 1995 he, from sur .....
