Gangs In America
.... obviously appealing to the youth and the potential inductees to the gangs. However, with every good thing there also comes a bad side. The bad side is everything we don’t see. The life of crime, violence, and prison. Nobody really can understand that until they live it, and once they had lived it, it can sometimes be to late.
Now of course there are situations where kids join gangs because there is no other way. Often it happens that a teenager is forced to join a gang because he/she has no family. .....

Ignorrance Is Bliss
.... for each of these stupid ones, but I have a feeling it is not that many. If they do get many correct responses, than when they find the stupid people, they really find the stupid people. Many of them seem totally clueless to their own ignorrance. If ignorrance is bliss, than these people must really be happy. Television is definately not the only place to run into stupid people however.
In business class we had an assignment to read and discuss an article titled, "Fatal Attractions". The article disc .....

What Are Comfort Zones? And Why Should We Escape?
.... the only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth of the hole!
The results of being in a Comfort Zone are that we simply shut off any ideas of alternatives, of options that lie outside our own narrow existences. Leaving our cages is risky and scary.
Recognising that we are trapped, is the first step towards gaining freedom. We also have to accept that change causes risk and pain. It is a question of "no pain, no gain"

Racial Discrimination And Its Effect On Our Society
.... different color, or because your a different kind of religion. You can help stop this; all you have to do is try to accept different ethnic people as you do anyone else. If you can’t, you don’t have to express it, keep it to yourself. If you hear somebody saying something about somebody else, all you have to do is listen; they are just as equal as you are. If you do it, pretty soon they’ll quit.
Racism’s history goes way back. The Constitution of the United States recognized the legality of slavery, .....

Hiring Quotas In Employment
.... always asked is, "What is wrong with quotas? What is wrong with companies hiring a variety of blacks, Hispanics, women, and white males?" The problem is not with hiring a variety of people from different ethnic groups. The problem begins when the person who is best qualified for a job, loses the position to someone less qualified. More and more, white males are having problems finding jobs because they are not black or Hispanic or do not have breasts. Affirmative action, which is action in the form of quot .....

Analysis Of Rich And Poor And The Case Against Helping The Poor
.... simple explanation as to how each would deal with the topic will be presented.
Suppose Americans did in fact give as much aid as we possibly can, which means we can not spend money on luxuries such as stereos, vacations, alchohol or tobacco.

For people who currently work in the fields of producing these amenities, .....

Blacks: Indirectly Enslaved
.... enslaved because they were not able to do anything and had to depend on the whites.

Laws and regulations are making readopting a child impracticable for birth parents. Advancing with technology and the rest of the world, laws referring to adoption are also continually undergoing changes. Whether these laws have a positive or negative impact on the adoption controversy, they all are causing the children confusion and pain.

The Amish Family Life
.... or potatoes; meat, which is often fried; and canned vegetables. Homemade or supermarket-bought bread is served at every meal. The lighter meal commonly consists of soup, cheese or bologna, and fruit. Snacks are usually apples, cookies, or leftovers.

Personal Freedoms
.... still certain universal freedoms, like the right to voice your own opnion, to wear clothes of your choice and freedom to get a good education. Some of these things are so important that there is laws to enforce them. Like school for instance, you are legally required to attend regular classes until the age of sixteen.

The subordinate countries in this case began their quest for industrial status. Many of these countries modeled their goals after countries that were successful.

Sitting Down As A Family For Dinner

Now dinner time is full of interruptions; the sounds of shouting and laughter from the Drew Carry show or a honk for the passing cars at the Sonic. No longer is there assurance in knowing that every member of your family will be present at the designation eating time.
Refrigerators where mothers and wives once posted nightly menus describing delicious meals are now covered with marker boards and post it note .....
