Violence Due To The Media
.... censorship ended. The purpose of the ratings is to warn parents of the content, so all material should be allowed on TV since the viewer is warned beforehand of the shows level of maturity.
Television violence and vulgarity are not the only examples of unjust censorship. Who can speak their mind on controversial subjects such as the murder that occurs every day, which is abortion and the faults in our government? The message needs to be heard about these and other wrongs of society, but they aren’t. No on .....

The Potential Dangers Of Air Bags And Children
.... restrained by lap and shoulder belts, they still face the risk. Airbags could seriously injure or even kill an unbuckled child who is sitting too close to the air bag or who is thrown toward the dash during emergency braking or a crash.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has identified 86 crashes where the deployment of the passenger air bag resulted in fatal head or neck injuries to a child. Eighteen of these deaths were to infants in rear-facing child safety seats. Most of the other .....

Do We Need Protection In Our Schools?
.... and we need to crack down on these "crack heads."
We have to face the fact that teenagers do have sex. We can not stop them from having sex but we can help them from making a big mistake. Condoms would be sold in our schools. Maybe they won’t be sold in public but they will be available in our schools. The selling of condoms in school will provide a way to protect themselves.
Another form of protection for our schools is actual police officers and metal detectors in the schools. Kids now a day have .....

Condition of work harassment, also known as environment or workplace harassment, is less direct, and arises when an employee is subjected to requests for sexual favors, sexual comments or sexual insults, but no negative employment consequences follow from the employee's refusal to accede to the demands made on her.

Gambling
.... I walked through the door. I looked at the machines and noticed a sign that read “Must be at least 18 years of age to play”. I had $1.50 in quarters in my pocket, so I played. I was ahead in the game, so I decided to cash what I had out. The machine printed out a yellow ticket. I lost the rest of the credits and took the ticket up to the clerk and he told me that it was worth one dollar. I picked a scratch off and won ten dollars. This experience shows there is a difference between being eighteen a .....

Pride
.... college football team, known as LSU, is engulfed with pride. Not only because of the players own high-standards to achieve, but also because all involved with the team, provide the drive of excitement throughout the atmosphere. The feeling of pride is unexplainable, especially when felt through competition. But the feeling that is felt is absolutely unmistakable; one will never forget its’ ability to empower an individual.
The photo shows an uplifting football program, which is used to both entertai .....

Gangs
.... In United States History
No groups completely fitting the above description of gangs existed in America until the early 1800s, but from the beginning of the European settlement in America there was gang-like activity, especially when class distinctions came into being. Gang members tended to be from the poorer classes and tended to be from the same race or ethnic background. They banded together for protection, recreation or financial gain.
The 20th Century Gangs
In the early 1900s the U.S. economy .....

Who's Right Is It Anyway?
.... here or there will not make a large dent. Yet if everyone who attempts or had
attempted suicide were not stopped, the impact would be recognized. Another popular argument
for stoppers, people who want to prevent suicide, is that nothing can be bad enough. Yet how do
they know this? They do not have to put up with the same stuff the suicide victim does everyday.
How could they possibly know what the potential suicide victim feels. Just as a severely burned
victim may wish to be allowed to die in peace, .....

Women’s Gender Role
.... women are supposed to have the same rights as men, but they are still often discriminated against. The numbers of women who have entered the work force has gone up sufficiently and they have obtained the same types of jobs as men, such as doctors, lawyers, and engineers. Unfortunately, women’s wages still don’t compare to men’s wages as they should. Often times, men are paid more money when they do the same job as women. Women are continuing their action to equalize themselves.

Gun Control And Freedom
.... is to say that the citizens of America are essentially apathetic when it comes to violence in our country. Especially with the amount of juvenile violence that has been on the rise ever since the 80's, legislators must take stronger action than ever before to show that these crimes simply cannot be committed with impunity. Whether this requires tougher sentences for juveniles or simply better education, the fact remains that guns are the vehicles by which juveniles are venting their anger and fru .....

Importance Of Good Self-Esteem

One way you could do this is by asking yourself, “Do I, or anyone I know, act or behave angry, impatient, sarcastic, jealous, violent, cruel, hateful, unfriendly, insensitive, vain, greedy, unethical, rude, phony, paranoid, dishonest, co-dependent, obnoxious, sad, mad, lazy, oversensitive, irresponsible, rebellious, moody, depressed, suicidal, stressed, revengeful, unforgiving, shy, shameful, lustful, selfish, materialistic, or envious?” All of these descriptions could .....

Is Animal Testing Right?
.... the bill of rights. Animals also have rights, but only animal activists protect them. Anyone knows that if groups of humans were being tortured or even killed then it would make many headlines on the evening news, and of course, it would be stopped. On a daily basis animal testing in the Proctor and Gamble laboratories does go on, and yet none of this is even mentioned on the evening news. It just continues.
Although many argue that animal testing is cruel and immoral, some people find good things about .....

Safety In Institutions
.... know who had all the power. The sargent in this movie expressed his hatred towards one of the inmates , by making him and his cell mates, do excrutiating excercises in the middle of the hot dessert. The physical abuse of running up and down a hill, would surely lead to heat exaution, fainting spells or even in an extreme case death.
Taken from the movie If, a second example of physical abuse is shown. Had rediculous rules of always running in the hallway to and from class, contradicts other school in .....

Conformity In Society
.... and escape conformity. This silent epidemic affects society as a whole and almost every aspect of each individual.
Conformity is the tendency of an individual to change their thinking and behavior to the social norms. The most apparent effect of conformity is shown in fashion and style. I ponder whether the majority of our population like the clothes they wear because they actually like them, not just because everybody else is wearing them. I find it hard to believe that 9 out of 10 people just have t .....

The Meaning Of Success
.... and the state championship, they would be successful. On the other hand, if the team set out to have a winning record, and failed, the season would not be successful. Success, no matter how big or small the goals are, can only be grasped through the attaining of those goals.
Success must also be sought after. For anyone to have success, they must fight and strive for it. If a secretary of a large corporation worked their way up the ladder through hard work and sacrifice, they would be a success. On .....
