.... than cheat on a test to get in any real trouble. Some things that get kids in a lot of trouble now include looking up porn on the Internet and fighting.

Another norm that has changed a lot is what teenagers do for entertainment. In the early twenties, teenagers generally didn’t have a lot of free time.

People are not afraid to demand for equal rights but the so-called mainstream politics and elected office is still baffling to the Chinese. The Chinese community's history in Canada also plays a major role i .....

Billboards, radio, and TV ads across the country proclaim that “every fifteen seconds a woman is beaten by a man.” Violence against women is clearly a problem of national importance, but has anyone ever asked how often men are beaten by women? The unfortunate fact is that men are the victims of domestic violence at least as often as women are. A survey conducted by National Family Violence showed that men are just as likely to be .....

.... own parents. (Bender and Leone, 1994, p. 12) Child abuse data is collected in many inconsistent ways from state to state and from study to study, many instances of abuse, especially neglect, are not always documented, and the definition of abuse varies from study to study.
