kinship recognition are passed through the mother. They are organize into dalas,
matrilineal descent groups and kumilas, one of four named matrilineal clans.
During Wiener's fieldwork in the Trobriand Islands, she experienced the death of

"Does The Military Continue To Have Sexual Harassment And Discrimination Against Women In The 90's?"
Number of words: 1495 - Number of pages: 6.... often been accepted more
readily in the military than the women. Women have been viewed as outsiders in
a male environment. Discrimination and harassment occurs for women because we
are entering an all male dominated area. Some areas are still restricted
because of it. For example: serving in direct combat capacities such as armor,
infantry, and special forces--branches from which much of the senior leadership
is drawn. “In 1994, the annual Navywide Personnel Survey included questions on
women's role for the first time. Some 65 percent of officers and almost 50

The Treatment Of A Women In Sports
Number of words: 2479 - Number of pages: 10.... not only for the 90’s but forever. Only with the help of Title IX legislation and the persistence of women athletes to demand equality was such an accomplishment to be achieved. Although, women are making strives towards equality, and making progress in acknowledging females for their athletic ability, there are still many signs of sexism and poor treatment because of their endeavors.

Number of words: 545 - Number of pages: 2.... parents of the content, so all material should be allowed on TV since the viewer is warned beforehand of the shows level of maturity.
Television violence and vulgarity are not the only examples of unjust censorship. Who can speak their mind on controversial subjects such as the murder that occurs every day, which is abortion and the faults in our government? The message needs to be heard about these and other wrongs of society, but they aren’t. No one can make their message heard to wide masses of people unless it is a politically correct and non-controversial message, and that’s not t .....

Canada Lacks A Real National Identity
Number of words: 1127 - Number of pages: 5.... To gain a
Canadian identity we must learn to identify with a nation, Canada. This is one
of the main reasons we lack a Canadian identity, because we as Canadians do not
really think of ourselves as Canadians. We may be Canadians but we think of
Canada as a place of refuge rather than a home. This ties in with our lack of
patriotism. Many Canadians that I know, come Olympic time or another big world

anything goes¹, there .....

Society's Problems And My Role In Helping It
Number of words: 1206 - Number of pages: 5.... the panhandlers. It hurts those whose homes are burglarized
by the homeless man looking for money to feed his family. There is no isolated
problem in society and each problem has a ripple effect that eventually hurts
everyone. Even if only for selfish reasons, every individual should help to
solve the problems of society. A parallel that I can draw to further illustrate

why he is such a team player, he responded that he was a very selfish man. He
wanted to win so much that he was willing to do whatever it took to .....

Hiring Quotas In Employment
Number of words: 1408 - Number of pages: 6.... is wrong with companies hiring a variety of blacks, Hispanics, women, and white males?" The problem is not with hiring a variety of people from different ethnic groups. The problem begins when the person who is best qualified for a job, loses the position to someone less qualified. More and more, white males are having problems finding jobs because they are not black or Hispanic or do not have breasts. Affirmative action, which is action in the form of quotas and special treatment for "protected classes", has resulted in a politicized hiring process in which white males are openly discriminat .....
