.... founded on. However defenders of affirmative action say that the playing fields are not leveled yet.

.... to use animals for entertainment. There is a high amount of abuse that lies behind the performance of circus animals. Not only is there physical abuse, but also mental. Maclean’s Magazine finds that Veterinarian Ken Langlier becomes disgusted with the treatment of animals in the circus. “What he sees in circuses often sickens him: malnourished tigers, monkeys with their fingers bitten off, and elephants biting one another or pacing nervously.” (Brady). Animals can not possibly like circus life. It is obvious that audiences do not realize that animals are not acting out of l .....

.... people try to deny that they are prejudice, while others thrive on letting everyone know. An example of this would be the Ku Klux Klan; a society organized to reassert white supremacy with terroristic methods. These people would show their prejudice by marching down city streets and by having loud outdoor campaigns and cross burnings.
