Sexual Abuse
.... by going to his room. The abuse thereafter continued and she now felt she deserved for it to continue." (Landau, 1990) This fictional example helps to further illustrate the final 2 points which were presented above. The guilt hits the child so hard that they are unable to clearly see reality. Another major source of guilt comes from the mother. Often when the mother is told about the abuse she will not want to believe the accusations and will blame the child. Other reasons for why the mother may pass guil .....

Sex Education In The Classroom
.... performed (Glazer). The decision to abort a pregnancy can scar a teenage mother's life no matter what decision she make. To keep the child means hardship, but not to keep the child can also be mentally frightening.
Teaching our children about sexuality and making them more knowledgeable about it does not convey the message that sex is ok. How much can we really control our children when we cannot be with them every minute of the day? Some parents are scared to talk to their children, so the help at schoo .....

Should A Moment Of Silence Be
.... to find a compromise. From this effort came the adoption of the moment of silence, which is guaranteed by the First Amendment's "Free Exercise" clause.
Six states now permit silent moments -- Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama. Silent prayer was ruled constitutional in 1985 as long as it had no religious intent or purpose. (Newsweek, October 3, 1994)
Prayer has been banned in schools for thirty-three years. The moment of silence has been ruled constitutional, howe .....

Should Racist Speech Enjoy Pro
.... the Supreme Court, are "narrowly and precisely designed."
As you can imagine, precisely tailoring any statute in order to prohibit racist speech is nearly impossible - and as
many other speakers have already said, banning the current racial slurs will only create new ones. Additionally, an
outright ban on racist speech and ideas could likely lead to a higher level of violence in our society.
A number of other supreme court rulings have come out in favor of protecting all speech, including racist .....

Smoke Free Restaurants
.... restaurants as non-smoking would avoid the problem of nicotine odors ruining
many meals. The Onion, located in downtown Spokane, requires that all smoking be done in the
bar area. The bar is separated from the main restaurant by a gate. I ate lunch at this restaurant,
and while I was there smoke from the bar drifted to my table and spoiled my lunch. The non-
smoking policy is catching on in various public places and restaurants taking on the same policy
would solve this .....

prejudice in the job market) and economic (collapse in the market demand for
their often limited skills due to an economic recession or shift in
technology). The Permissive View reveals that all participants in society are
deserving of the unconditional legal right to social security without any
relation to the individual's behaviour. It is believed that any society which

Software Licensing
.... its decision on White-Smith Music Co. v. Apollo , where the Supreme Court determined that a piano roll used in a player piano did not infringe upon copyrighted music because the roll was part of a mechanical device. Since a computer program is textual, like a book, yet also mechanical, like the piano roll in White-Smith, the Copyright Office granted copyright protection under the rule of doubt.
In 1974, Congress created the Natural Commission on New Technological Uses (CONTU) to investigate whether .....

Student Protest
.... saying that the student is smarter than the teacher but in some cases the yelling and screaming of a teacher to get through can be substituted by the subtle sarcasm of the student.
As for the protesting part of protest, there are many things that I would love to protest against but a protest doesn’t work when its one person against the entire school. Numbers are very important. The more people that show the better your chance to achieve what you want. The main thing that I would protest is the right o .....

Suicide
.... know what the potential suicide victim feels. Just as a severely burned victim may wish to be allowed to die in peace, the suicide victim wishes the same. To die in peace with no argument from others. The argument of "look at the people you will hurt" also does not hold. Imidiate family members will be the only ones to suffer any great pain. Friends will go on with thier lives and in time forget about the death. Imidiate family too will forget the loss in time. Although it will take most considerably .....

Talk Shows
.... and Senator Joseph Lieberman asked: "Would you want your young children to view a program showcasing the sexual adventures of a 14-year-old girl who married her 71-year-old foster father"(Flint and Wharton). To those who do not tune into these shows this discription may sound like an exaggeration; however, it is not. This is exactly the type of topics on some shows. Not only are half the shows ridiculous with topics of deceit, revenge and "extreme behavior", but some of them are false(Flint and Wharton). .....

Talk Shows In Society
.... Show, or as blatant as the Jerry Springer show. The problem most people have with talk shows it that they exploit peoples lives for everyone to see. While flipping through all the channels you are bound to see titles such as sex, adultery hate and drugs, whether it is on the news or soap operas. The reason that talk shows take the most heat for this is because it is not an allusion; it is an hour of analyzing these issues. Also, any child or adolescent that sees these things may think it is normal to .....

Teaching Creationism In School
.... of this universe.
Many people feel that creation science is only an attempt to side step the religious issue. Since religious beliefs cannot be taught in public schools the creationists "repackaged the Bible as science" (10). This statement causes one to consider if the Bible is a scientific book. Many creationists would agree that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, and not a scientific book. Yet, creation scientists want us to believe that the Bible is scientific.
By comparing creation .....

Teenage Sex
.... That 14 percent drop brought the rate to its lowest level since 1975 (Casey Foundation, 1996). Rather than deal with a pregnancy after the fact, more teenagers seem to be trying to prevent pregnancies. Teenagers are learning to better use contraceptives and are using them more frequently than before. Some teenagers are aware of the contraceptives available, but they just choose not to use them. Others may find it difficult and embarrassing to talk to their partners about birth control or contraceptives. .....

Teenage Violence In Schools
.... acceptable. Also, a child thinks that the people that are supposed to love him don’t even care that he is doing something bad so he will continue to do it. Teenagers also commit acts of violence to get their parents’ attention. If parents ignore what their teenagers are doing, then the teenagers will continue to do more negative things just to get their parents to notice them. Another reason why family lifestyle is a cause to teen violence is, if the teenager is abandoned at a young age than there is no on .....

Teen Pregnancy

Sex education is the study of the characteristics of being a male or a female. Such characteristics make up a person's sexuality. Traditionally children have received information about sexuality from their parents, church, friends, their d .....
