.... that took place between our generations. Long hair, mopcuts, bellbottoms and more are the appearance my parents remember. I think, as a change for the better, my generation mostly keeps their hair neat and trim. We habitually wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes, and many also wear a hat. These vast changes astonish my parents, but they do not see them as a step towards a more or less civilized society. However, they do notice some changes that may be for the worse. My parents, and probably a lot of their generation were continuously looking for money, and saved and spent money very c .....

.... and regulation. One could argue that as for as crimes go prostitution is a victimless crime, but others would say that it is a matter of public safety and disease control. Would harsher laws end prostitution or result in a lot of persons getting their car impounded?

I will use the example of the most popular movie of the summer, “I Know What You Did Last Summer." Kids see the high school kids in this movie drinking and having fun.

.... have found that only twenty-nine of the one-hundred and eighty-five contemporary cultures studied, less than sixteen percent restrict men and women to a single partner for life. However, less than one-third of the twenty-nine monogamous cultures completely disapprove of both premarital and extramarital relations (Francouer 72). For centuries, marriage was a dynastic affair, arranged by the parents and families. During the Middle Ages, they thought of marriage as a passionate love for an unattainable woman, usually the wife of a noble lord. In the 1970s, extramarital sex was estimated a .....

.... to teach the kids that running might get you out, but could injure or kill many more, some of them being friends or people you care for such as brother's or sister's even if they don't like them now, they'll miss them when they die. When the kids get out of the school, they should go to a selected place to wait for others and teachers to take authority. The children should then proceed to try to stay clear of the firemen and police officers that might soon arrive because of the consequences which might encounter the child if she/he gets in their way.

If the spectators waved their handkerchiefs, the helpless gladiator would live. was granted only to those who had fought well, and their reward was that they would be allowed to fight another day.

.... (Green, 1998; PG) -- are pushing hard to mend racial tension with a comprehensive program that is designed to bring all races together. Will it work?

.... someone who is extreme just to be extreme. To my disappointment it seems the later is becoming more prevalent within society. After reading the article I scrolled down the page to where it listed "more feminist links", the five that were given consisted of; three lesbian rights pages, and two "neo-feminist pages". Thinking this must be only a small percentage of feminist pages which were given by this specific author, I went back and searched many of the feminist pages on the web myself. To my unpleasant surprise it turned out that almost all were expressive of the same extreme theme. .....

.... thousands and thousands of teenagers are viewing explicit materials daily. Whether the pornography be stolen, given to by an older sibling, or found in a trash can, minors have had their hands on these vulgar publications. Approximately 70% of the pornographic magazines sold eventually end up in the hands of minors. More so, the chief consumers of pornographic material in the United States are 15-19 year old males. More strict regulations of pornography sales would lead to a decrease in the distribution of these magazine, but many people wonder why these magazines are considered to .....
