.... like one of their own. People should stop trying to hide the fact that they are adopted, or someone they know is, and instead be proud of it. There are several situations that constitute a need for adoption. There are many couples that are unable to have children of their own. Adoption allows those couples to experience and enjoy parenthood. Most of the time it is not their choice that they can not have children. They can try everything that is offered medically to get pregnant, and still not succeed. Adopting a child can then become a positive alternative, and it also gives the child .....

.... how we cannot wait to see each other again. When he makes a positive comment, my face brightens like a light bulb. When negativity occurs, I brush it off as though it was never said. Then, it is time to say goodnight. When he says, “I you,” fireworks explode in my heart. “ is a vine that grows into our hearts.” (anonymous). The scent of is sweet and flowery. has a smooth, peaceful, murmuring sound, like birds chirping on a spring morning. Warm fire on a cold night or a mother’s milk to a baby is the taste of . The sight of is hearts, red roses, and smiles. If you wer .....

.... its prime time hours. The first show I viewed was Seinfeld at 6:30 p.m. Of all the shows viewed over the course of the night Seinfeld had the most acts of violence in its half-hour programming. There were a total of five acts of violence, which included tripping and hitting people with a cane, verbal threats, and physical slapping with hands. All these actions were meant to be funny best evident by the laughter from the audience in the background each time something occurred. One violent act was when one of the main character’s George was standing in a hall way and someone walked pass .....

.... both Europe and the United States, providing a way of ‘echoing' messages nationally via large towers placed in strategic positions; however this proved slow as each method had to be verified to ensure message accuracy. Following the discovery and partial understanding of electricity in the 18th Century scientists looked towards a way of relaying messages electronically. This attracted great interest because of the speed and efficiency such a system would bring, nevertheless it was not until 1837 that the first practical telegraph system was produced. In the years that followed vario .....

.... issue of racism is certainly not new to the Halifax area. In the 1960’s blacks were ordered out of their village, and in 1980’s Sikh immigrants were called ‘trash’ and told to ‘go home.’ I found the author’ s choice of words quite appropriate when she described the ‘people of the east’ in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Words such as Bluenoser, Gaelic and homogeneity were used to describe the vast majority of people who look and sound the same in the community. Throughout the article the author expressed her disgust at this racist incident although her friend, the black man .....

.... and sexual indulgement. The last vow in which the monks lived by was obedience. This vow was not only used to keep order, but it was also used to make the monks humble and not proud. In the modern day United States the dominant values are more along the line of selfishness. It seems, for the most part, that the main values in today's American society are, fulfilment of desires, and a rebelling type lifestyle. Greed can be seen everywhere one turns; everyone is in competition with others to see who can get the best clothes, biggest house, or nicest car. It is a society based on mo .....

.... respect for the children, making them do slave labor at home, and display best behavior in school. When looking back, I can see why corporal punishment was allowed to be used. The year is 1991, the students are all rebels without a cause... If corporal punishment was used today, it would fail. Kids no longer are expected to act like they are in church for their complete childhood. If a child is caught talking in class, the teacher does not whip or beat them like years ago, instead: writing the childs name on the board, or giving them detention does the job. Strange enough, most of the ch .....

.... children. Black slaves were spit upon, urinated on, were hose downed, fought segregated wars, denied the right to vote, and were classified as less than human. Black slaves built America with bare hands, blood, sweat and tears. As such, Slaves Descendant should be compensated for our Ancestors over 440 years of labor without pay. Will Slaves Descendant ever be compensated with reparation for all that our Ancestors have been through? My Ancestors suffered as slaves under the Constitution and laws of the United States until 1865. In fact, some would say that Slaves Descendant still suffer tod .....

.... maybe they should be criticized at least equally if not more so than the men who watch it. According to author J.M. Coetzee and his article "The Harms of Pornography", the real questions here are, "what is the difference between obscenity and pornography", and even more importantly, "where do we draw the line between the two"? Coetzee brings up a good point here. A point on which the entire debate over pornography hinges. What is the defenition of "obscenity"? An excerpt from a speech by Mike Godwin, Online Counsel for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, gives a good definition of ob .....

.... that executive men and women scored equally on most areas and that executive women are just as capable at leading, influencing, and motivating groups, as well as analyzing problems. The authors go on to show that, despite these similarities, women are disproportionately represented in the ranks of Fortune 500 company executives. Repeated references are made to studies that were conducted with 22 people, 16 men and 6 women, whose job is to select executives for top jobs. These people are continually referred to as "savvy insiders" throughout the article. These so called savvy insiders wer .....
