Money And The Way It Alters The Mind
Number of words: 625 - Number of pages: 3.... a commodity than a “celebrity.”
Unfortunately, Americans loose their focus on reality because the ones with
the power are the ones who are money hungry and run the world. It is
insane how the majority of Americans see celebrities as heroes instead of
the scientists who try to make the world a better place. The world is run,
not necessarily by the money itself, but the mentality that people have
which makes them crave the power that comes with the pleasure of being
well off.
America’s passion is wealth and the way it can control many aspects
of life. Americans have created a world .....

Sexism-Patriarchy
Number of words: 2072 - Number of pages: 8.... in our society. Salary is one
aspect of this still present discrimination, a vast majority of women employed
in the work force today receive less of a paycheck for the same amount of hours
worked on the same jobs as men. This is reinforced by the low number of women
who have a high paying, high powered job. There are a significantly higher
number of women who have little or no power in decision making and earn a low
salary. The women that do get promoted are often the subjects of rumor and
remarks made in poor taste. Men just can't stand to see they're egos shattered
and so they l .....

Racism In Colleges
Number of words: 2697 - Number of pages: 10.... formed. Once the North had defeated the
South in the war, the slaves were freed from bondage, however, that did not mean
that they would be free from the terrible prejudice that still permeated the
country.
Schools sprang up in all black areas but were not given the public
funding that they needed and deserved. They were usually only one room and very
dirty. They were given the oldest and most worn out books and equipment that
were available. There weren't even many teachers who were qualified and were
willing to teach at an all black school. Even though education was instituted
for Africa .....

Violence By Children
Number of words: 308 - Number of pages: 2.... Another way to solve violence in our society is to stop letting them watch violent movies and television shows. That would reduce the corrupting of the young minds, since kids feed on what they see now a days .
Many children will continue to commit these violent acts if the parents or themselves don't put the stop to the violence from the begining. If it is not dealt with it will just happen over and over again.The crime will continue to occur as long as our society keeps on action the way it is.The The THe TTHeThte The The The The The The . .....

Domestic Violence
Number of words: 1605 - Number of pages: 6.... first hand
experience.
Growing up as a child, I experienced this first hand. It didn't
have as dramatic an effect as it may have on other children. There are
three general ways in which a child may be affected, but are a wide variety
of situations. I can't predict the future so I cannot tell which one I will
fall into, but I am hoping it is the second way. Firstly, the child may
take on the psychological effect that it is OK to do since one has seen
their mother or father commit the acts. Children may do this cause they
grow up as followers of grown ups around them. Sort of like that m .....

Sexual Harrassment In The Military
Number of words: 683 - Number of pages: 3.... 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 percent of enlisted respondents said they did not think women were fully accepted in combat roles. While a .....

Cosmetic Testing On Animals
Number of words: 716 - Number of pages: 3.... their heads
protrude. They usually receive no anesthesia during the tests. After
placing the subezce into the rabbits eyes, lab technicians record the
damage to the eye tissue at specific intervals over an average period of
72 hours. The tests sometimes last seven to eighteen days. Reactions to
the subezces include swollen eyelids, ulceration, bleeding, swollen irises
massive deterioration, and blindness. During the tests, rabbits eyelids
are usually held open with clips, because of this, many animals try to
break their necks as they try to escape.
Acute toxicity tests, commonly .....

Distribution Of Condoms Is Unnecessary
Number of words: 836 - Number of pages: 4.... least distribution of condoms would make it safe.”(Jason Arnold) Although it is true that teenagers are already engaging in sexual activities, they can still have safe sex without distributing condoms in schools. They can get the condoms for themselves, and the schools wouldn’t be giving the impression that sex is o.k. as long as you use a condom.
2.5 million teens are infected with sexually transmitted diseases every year. (Margaret Pruitt Clark,pg.317) Although condoms do prevent transmission of these diseases, they are not 100% effective. The HIV virus is 1/450 the size of sperm .....

Impact Of Television On Society
Number of words: 1791 - Number of pages: 7.... ads can be highly sophisticated and highly creative. Tremendous amounts of time and talent and resources are devoted to producing such images which are typically more expensive than programs. One of the gigantic swindles carried out on the public today is that commercial television is free. In fact consumers pay for the programming through higher prices for the goods they purchase. Many television series are themselves advertisments for wealth, luxury,fashion, and high consumption lifestyles. It is often stated that commercial television has two purposes-to entertain a mindless audien .....

Violence In Schools
Number of words: 936 - Number of pages: 4.... schools. Everyone seems to have a different perspective on why there is such a problem with school safety. Some say it is the parents’ fault, some say it is the media, and others blame the schools. Yet, the question still remains. What can be done to make schools safer for the children and staff?
One thing we need to do is learn to listen to our children and observe their behavior. According to Dr. Ronald D. Stephens, Executive Director of the National School Safety Center, there are some common characteristics among youth who have caused school- associated violent deaths. Accounts of these .....
