Body Images In The Media
.... A. McDaniel comments: “For the female child, to be assessed as ‘pretty’ or ‘beautiful’ is the highest accolade, one that usually makes her parents proud…To be pretty is to be approved of, liked and rewarded.” She also mentions that in “infancy, females are judged by standards of ‘cuteness’ and ‘prettiness’ and this shifts with age into standards of ‘beauty’ and ‘glamour.” Parents of newborn babies tend to emphasise appearance more in girls than in boys.

Brown Vs. Board Of Education
.... between 1950 and 1960 was a very shakeytime period in terms of segregation and the educational system. The Supreme Court case of Brown v.

Bilingual Education In Miami
.... just for students with limited English skills. But in Miami, bilingual education is sold as a program for everyone. I like this approach. If a large portion of the population speaks Spanish than it is only common sense to teach students who don’t know English, English and students who don’t know Spanish, Spanish. If everyone could speak the two most common used languages in that community than communication would be much better. I say the two most common used languages are good enough. Our educators d .....

Problems for the economy of Belarus began to arise after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The weakness with Belarusian industry is two-fold.

These acts have often left companies feeling as though their hands were tied. The Clean Air Act by 1989 managed to reduce air pollution to two thirds of the 1970's level. The Act achieves this through the use of permits to regulate the construction and production of major sources of pollution. The act specifies that a major source is one that emits 100 tons or more per year. This means that a factory can be built that emits 90 tons of pollution per year with out a permit. .....

Benefits Of Capital Punishment
.... way the death
penalty deters murder, is the fact that if the killer is dead, he will
not be able to kill again.
Most supporters of the death penalty feel that offenders should
be punished for their crimes, and that it does not matter whether it
will deter the crime rate. Supporters of the death penalty are in
favour of making examples out of offenders, and that the threat of
death will be enough to deter the crime rate, but the crime rate is
irrelevant.

Harsher Penalties For Violent

What is the point of having a life sentence? We have people who have killed
in cold blood, sitting in jail to rot. This makes me think. Why should a criminal live
better than I am? We give the criminals of today too much credit and not enough
hard time. I would give them enough food to live on, a cot, toilet, and sink. if more
people could read the college essay I read before writing this they would

Giovanni Pico della Mirandola typified the mindset of the fifteenth century humanist.

Homosexuality Is Wrong

Leviticus 18:22
Thou shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination.
The act of homosexuality can easily be compared to having sex with animals.
Leviticus 20:13
