Overpopulation
Number of words: 1076 - Number of pages: 4

.... giving an effective population density of 117 per square mile. That's still only about a fifth of that in the United Kingdom. Even by 2020, Africa's effective density is projected to grow to only about that of France today (266), and few people would consider France excessively crowded or overpopulated.

Gangs
Number of words: 1522 - Number of pages: 6

.... $200 to $400 for small part time gang jobs. Although these are important factors they are not strong enough to make kids do things that are strongly against their morals.

The average child spends more time at a TV than she/he spends in a classroom. Since nobody can completely turn off their minds, kids must be learning something while watching the TV.

.... credence to the position that they are related" (p. 94-95). The question is whether these generalised lab findings can be equated with real life. The experiments done in this field are all controlled. They do not correlate with real life problems. While these experiments support the argument, many do not live up to good empirical research. Cumberbatch (1989) examined the main methodological problems he felt were evident in many major studies of the relationship between television violence and aggression. He focused on five areas that cause problems and question the validity of certain stud .....

Controversial Pornography
Number of words: 1335 - Number of pages: 5

.... find its contents appalling. And those who enjoy the nudity and sexual content exhibited in pornographic materials should marvel and delight in its details. Those who do not should simply look away. In the words of Justice William O. Douglas, "no one is compelled to look" (Brownmiller 663). There is no concrete manner to define materials that are "obscene" or "offensive" because various images come to mind among individuals when words similar to these are used to describe pornography. To classify a distasteful picture from a beautiful one comes down to a matter of opinion and taste. In .....

The World's Longest War
Number of words: 2178 - Number of pages: 8

.... is that church and state are one and that canon law and civil law are one. It periodically believes that unbelievers must be converted or conquered and that hating infidels is a virtue and killing an infidel is a ticket to heaven. In many of the faithful this religious fanaticism has merged with the secular fanaticism of Marxism-Leninism to make a witch's brew of hate and savagery against Christendom and capitalism. ('America is the Great Satan.') The demise of Marxism-Leninism in Europe does not extend to the Middle East. Russian and Chinese weapons continue to be sold for Arab oil .....

Constructivism
Number of words: 1863 - Number of pages: 7

.... outside the individual is not denied it is claimed that all we know about reality is our own tentative construction. Trowbridge (1996) relates this general view of to teaching by adding that is a model of teaching in which students construct knowledge by interpreting new experiences in the context of prior knowledge, experiences, episodes and images. Thus, as suggested by Kelly (1995),a constructivist approach to learning does not view learning as the transfer of knowledge to the learner, but rather an active construction of knowledge by the learner. For these reasons it can be conclude .....

.... of all is just having it," (Phillips, 90). The Bill of Rights added other civil rights not granted in the original Constitution. Freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, petition, the right to bear arms, and the rights of the accused are a few mentioned in the first ten amendments. The campaign for women’s suffrage was a clear example of the rights expressed by the first amendment. It was won primarily through continuous picketing and assembly by those determined to make a difference.

And growing numbers of these poorly paid Third World citizens want to come to the United States.
