Dress Codes

Imposing "dress codes" would force everyone to wear the same uniforms. This may eliminate some of the intimidation from gangs and create a proper learning environment.

.... The money being spent on fighting this war on drugs seems to be to no avail as drug statistics have sky rocketed over the last couple of years. In 1996 44.9% of twelfth graders use marijuana, that's up from 23.9% in 1991. Eighth grade marijuana users have increased by 12.1% from 1991 to 1996, a substantial enough climb to raise concerns about. Drugs are getting easier and easier to get at a younger age these days. A whopping 21.2% of eighth graders also abuse inhalants (glues, aerosols, and solv .....

Drug Abuse
.... to society for many different reasons.. Drugs have very harmful effects on the user and the people with whom the user interacts. The user is affected in many ways.

Drug Abuse In America
.... fiber increasing their bulk. Many athletes turn to steroids more often because they're cheaper then marijuana or cocaine. A ten week cycle of testosterone cypinate and methandrostone costs only about one hundred dollars. Steroids are also very hard to trace because of their water base composition.

Drugs In The Work Place
.... of sleep, they took "uppers" in the morning to be alert and "downers" at night to get rest. Please take note that they also drank coffee throughout the day along with the use of these drugs. The adults who had children during this time greatly influenced them with the sight of their drug addiction. The adult's pill taking drew forth a curiosity in their children. They wondered what the pills do to make their parents take them every single day. At one point, the children's interest grew so greatly as to .....

Eating Disorders

Some make the change from childhood into adolescence with only a few minor problems; others, however, may have a more difficult time handling the pressures and may develop eating disorders as a way to cope. Hormones are changing, body is developing, menstruation is around the corner and moods are swinging. Young girls seek independence and want to be treated as adults, but they are stuck in an in-betwe .....

Attitudes toward the vernacular dialect may well have to be overhauled, and some fairly extensive linguistic training will need to occur. Teachers will need to know how to weave dialect instruction into reading, writing, and oral language development in order to connect it to real communicative functions. Society has a clear vested interest in educating its youth. In his most famous decision, Chief Justice Earl War .....

Eleanor Roosevelt
.... the First Lady had traditionally been fashioned, and reshaped it around her own skills and her deep commitment to social reform. She gave a voice to people who did not have access to power. She was the first woman to speak in front of a national convention, to write a syndicated column, to earn money as a lecturer, to be a radio commentator and to hold regular press conferences. The path to this unique position of power had not been easy. The only daughter of an alcoholic father and a beautiful but aloof m .....

Employees feel in some cases, this is a violation of their privacy rights. I feel I have to agree with employers on this issue, however, to a point. I feel employers do have the right to access employees e-mail with the employee's consent as to when and how often and for what purpose. I feel there are differences as to why an employer would want to .....

Ethical Issues In U.S. Immigra
.... Mexico. These are only two examples of the travesties that occur daily in the land of opportunity and freedom—the Unites States of America. The United States was built by immigrants, many seeking a new life in a new land. Before 1882, anyone could move to the United States. As the population grew, however, the Federal government decided to control immigration. But they have done this in a very inconsistent manner, letting some people in from one country more than others from another country. The current U. .....

Before immunizations of infectious childhood diseases, death at a young age was common. In 1915 the average life expectancy was 54.5 years. Today the average is about 75 years. Most adults who died were not really old by today’s standard. (Ogg 2) Death was part of living, commonly taking place at home with family and friends.

Euthanasia

A second group of actions taken to bring about the death of a dying patient -physician-assisted death, referred to by some as active euthanasia- is specifically prohibited by laws in most states banning "mercy killing" and is condemned by the American Medical Association.
