A prominent image given to guys is that they have no feelings and would never cry. Crying is for girls or for homosexuals, it is thought.

not only were half dressed but also in their undergarments. The second half of
the experiment was basically done in the same way; but this time I asked for
them to tear out pictures that they would want their wives to look like. With
four different magazines they tore out pictures of more conservetly dressed

Teaching Respect To Children
Number of words: 504 - Number of pages: 2.... them back; causing a chain reaction.
Right now, not enough parents are teaching their kids respect and
this causes violence, crimes, and can even lead to drug use. It is easy to
see how these problems can be easily solved or would be nonexistent if
their was respect. Violence would not be a problem, because no one would

them. One other problem is drug use, this would not be a problem is people
respected themselves enough to not harm .....

back and forth easily (Limon).
To understand the affects of immigration one must study the state where it is
more rampant. California is a magnet for immigrants. As a result, many claim

from its porous borders. The succession of immigrant groups has brought the
