.... Many guys start every night with the idea of finishing much of their homework in one sitting, but that one roommate, suite mate, or just that guy down the hall comes in with the bright idea to put all that away and start up a friendly rivalry. Because of such novelties as PlayStation, Nintendo 64, or the good old Sega, the grades of many once studious intellectual drops into the realms of mediocracy. The makers of many of the games now make them with the sole intent to attract the child in every guy from the age of about 15 to 23. We all remember playing the Nintendo with such classics .....

.... different from women, children and men who don’t measure up. He is functional, designed mainly for work. He is programmed to tackle jobs, override obstacles, attack problems, overcome difficulties, and always seize the offensive. He will take on any task that can be presented to him in a competitive framework and his most important positive reinforcement is victory. (Warhol 40) The long Revolutionary War, which touched the lives of many people, naturally had a significant effect on American women. [T]he departure of so many men to fight in the Patriot armies left wives, moth .....

.... in a thornbush. The more the butterfly struggled to free itself, the deeper the thorns cut into the butterfly from its captivity. Instead of flying away, the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy. The young girl rubbed her eyes in disbelief. 'For your wonderful kindness,' the good fairy said to the girl, 'I will grant you any wish you would like.' The little girl thought for a moment and then replied, 'I want to be happy!' The fairy said, 'Very well,' and leaned toward her and whispered in her ear. Then the good fairy vanished. As the little girl grew up, there was .....

.... habits, the elderly still show a higher risk of crash and injury than the mid-aged drivers”(Thrive Online. News Poll. 1999 ). When the elderly adjust their driving habits, they consider the risks they face, but not the external risks they impose on others when they drive. If the elderly are forced to adjust their driving habits further to offset the external risks of their driving, their risk of crash and injury would be reduced and society as a whole would be better off. “As we age, our eyesight begins to fail; our reflexes begin to slow; and we don’t gauge speed or distance qu .....

.... conclusion: Television violence causes children to be violent and the effects can be life-long. The information can’t be ignored. Violent television viewing does affect children. The effects have been seen in a number of cases. In New York, a 16-year-old boy broke into a cellar. When the police caught him and asked him why he was wearing gloves he replied that he had learned to do so to not leave fingerprints and that he discovered this on television. In Alabama, a nine-year-old boy received a bad report card from his teacher. He suggested sending the teacher poisoned candy as revenge as h .....

.... as adults. Where they would stay until they reach their eighteenth birthday, and what would they get? A ticket to a high security prison, full of rapists, pedaphiles and others of their kin, ready to further pervert them and make them more efficient and darken their souls, or rape, sodomise and kill them for being the new arrivals. We blame the gun, we blame society, we blame the parents of the child, who really deserves it? Who should the blame fall upon, and who should decide what happens to the juviniles? Should these children, the future of our nation, be left to rot in federal pri .....

.... feelings. Laws and regulations are making readopting a child impracticable for birth parents. Advancing with technology and the rest of the world, laws referring to adoption are also continually undergoing changes. Whether these laws have a positive or negative impact on the adoption controversy, they all are causing the children confusion and pain. Older laws were abandoned because the rights given to the birth mother outweighed the birth father. Kate Burke once wrote, that in most stated, the birth mother was entitled to receive living expenses, medical care, and were able to choose .....

.... of employees. The U.S. government, in 1965, believed that these employers were discriminating against minorities and believed that there was no better time than the present to bring about change. This action, that started with good intentions, would later lead to a different and more complex form of discrimination. When the Civil Rights Law passed, minorities, especially African Americans, believed that they should receive retribution for the earlier years of discrimination they endured. The government responded by passing laws to aid them in attaining better employment as reprieve for the .....

.... way. It stated that the students would not kill in real life, but would kill over the Internet in a multi player situation and gave them aggression relief (Video Game Violence 1). In another survey done by the Internet Wire in 1999, it showed that sixty eight percent of the people who took the survey thought that game violence was an acceptable form of entertainment. However, only five percent said that it would likely lead to violent tendencies and seventy three percent said that violent games had no impact on their behavior. The survey showed that gamers believed that it was more appr .....

.... not hard. We all know about celebrating and have some ways of doing it. The only challenge is to find new ways. Why do we need to celebrate tradition? It gives us something to look forward to and makes a formal statement that there are some things in life to be grateful for. The notion of honoring tradition is unsettling for some people; let alone creating new ones. We understand that we need something to add a sense of order and stability to our lives. But we are not sure about how to create our own traditions. We seem to think that traditions must be heavy and complex ideas that ha .....
