The Treatment Of A Women In Sports
.... and the precedence of women in sports was changed not only for the 90’s but forever. Only with the help of Title IX legislation and the persistence of women athletes to demand equality was such an accomplishment to be achieved. Although, women are making strives towards equality, and making progress in acknowledging females for their athletic ability, there are still many signs of sexism and poor treatment because of their endeavors.
Even today with the press towards a new “equalitarian attitude” w .....

Human Rights
.... blood, sweat and tears of those who were here before us, this “Great Nation” has formed.
What difference does it make whether a person is male or female, gay or straight, black or white? Some believe that simply being a certain gender or creed makes them superior to everyone else.

“A Fair Chance For The Girls”

Although this article was not convincing to me I was still able to point out strengths and weakness and the one strength that I saw was the way he tried to draw you in by believing that by stating the effects on the reproductive system and the brain. The weakness that I found in this reading was his failure to cite more cases of this so-called “fair chance”. When I say that I mean tha .....

Lesbian By Choice
.... surroundings. If all of the fish are swimming upstream, why would you want to go against your group and swim downstream?
Within the lesbian community, Ponse (1978) makes reference to two groups. There are many lesbians that claim to have been "born" lesbian. To expand on this subject, one would say these women never questioned their sexual attraction. From day one, they were attracted to other women. Although this is referred to as a primary lesbian, I don’t believe it alleviates any of the stigmas or .....

Abstract Expressionism
.... conclusions to what message the artists were trying to relay?
Abstract expressionism began as lyrical and as a remembrance of the past that ended up forcefully and boldly dramatic. “Basic to most abstract expressionist painting were the attention paid to surface qualities, ie., qualities of brushstroke and texture: the use of huge canvases: the adoption of an approach to space in which all parts of the canvas played an equally vital role in the total work; the harnessing of accidents that occurred during .....

Curfews
.... tell many teenagers to go home, but what ends up happening is they just go somewhere else to hang out. Teenagers these days will just rebel. We teenagers have a point, why should we go home if a police officer tells us to, if our parents let us go out and we are not doing anything wrong.
Another thing that gets to me is why the curfew law applies to teenagers sixteen and seventeen years of age. An average teenager gets his or her licenses at age sixteen. Usually by the time you are sixteen you are m .....

The Impact Of Persecution On Amish Culture
.... their authority (Lantz). According to Amish belief, one had to accept evil and violence without fighting back. They were willing to defend neither country nor property, nor even life with physical resistance. Death was no real threat for them. They think this life is just preparation for the afterlife (Hostetler 189), and so their only response to persecution is and always has been avoidance. They moved away, and tried to escape the authorities by all possible non-violent means. If they were caught, howeve .....

“Despite their increased effort of self-protection in their driving habits, the elderly still show a higher risk of crash and injury than the mid-aged drivers”(Thrive Online. News Poll. 1999 ).

The Safety Of Using Cell Phones

Phones are being created by Erricson, Motorolla, and Nokia today in which offer a hands-free cell phone so that you can keep both hands on the wheel while driving and talking. Some of these come in the form of headsets and give the user a voice .....

Bill Brady On Violence In America

Some of these murders with the shootings and bashings have been said to create a numbness that in return requires even crueler and gorier murders just to induce a flutter a shock. Murder pays- for the sponsors. Rap anthems that glorify gang violence and the brutal abuse of women sell.
There are more gun dealers in America then there are gas stations or grocery .....

To help you get a better understanding of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis you’ll need a few examples. My father came to America to go to college in 1966.
