Perhaps government control could help relieve some of the annoyances of the holiday season. For example, federal mandates could limit all marketing of the Christmas holiday to the month of December. This could .....

Challenging The Traditional Cl
.... could put so much focus on education, and not see the importance of family and heritage. These two things are what make us who we are, and despite what we go through, they will remain unchanged (in most cases). Rodriguez learns this lesson first hand when he realizes the error in his ways.

Condoms A Good Idea
.... rather, he believes that it is merely providing young people with the materials they need to be responsible and safe in their actions. Mr. Tatum provides three very justifiable reasons for his claim that condom distribution in high schools is necessary.

CRIMINAL MOTIVATION
.... can make someone into a criminal. Psychological theories suggest that crime is the result of a rotten mind or wrongful behavioral upbringing. Also there are sociological theories which state that the structure of society create the crimes, as well as social-psychological theories, which state that crime is due to association with ‘bad people’ and inadequate social roles.

Criminal Insanity
.... belief as to why people first become criminally insane is because of the way they were treated as children. Many examples to support this theory can be found throughout history. One example is the infamous Charles Manson.

and the belief of this debauchery is called faith."
[Thomas Paine]
Provide proof the bible is actually telling the true account of past events. Using the paradox “it’s true, because the bible tells me so!” doesn’t hold water. To create a document, then within the document itself, proclaim all that’s written within the document is true, proves nothing! Without outside evidence to substantiate the text, it’s still just text. Of course, everything written within “Convince me .....

Color Theory
.... poetry, color, or even an ice cream sundae. In visual experiences, harmony is something that is pleasing to the eye. It engages the viewer and it creates an inner sense of order, a balance in the visual experience. When something is not harmonious, it's either boring or chaotic. At one extreme is a visual experience that is so bland that the viewer is not engaged. The human brain will reject under-stimulating information. At the other extreme is a visual experience that is so overdone, so chaotic that the .....

The question is if the gifts are taking over and dominating the whole celebration? The only thing children of today associate with Christmas is all the gifts. 50 years ago, children associated to go to church, have a good meal when coming home, maybe get a new knitted sweater, and sit by the Christmas tree listening to their father reading the gospel of Christmas. .....
