First Stand
.... wars
started? Because some power hungry dictator wants more space, money or
natural recourses. I think that a lot of the wars that we have had in
countries could have been prevented. Especially with all the new
technology we have today. Back when it was George Washington leading his
troops there probably wasn’t anything that could have stopped that. I think
most of the violence in wars can be prevented by just sitting down and
looking at all the problems and what the different countries want. If two
sides .....

The Many Faces Of Marriage

empty trinkets which they themselves have learned to value. Her second
husband is similarly stifling; though his strength and power is at first
appealing, he too is unable to comprehend that life is in the living and
the being, and not in the having and the controlling. Janie not knowing
what marriage really meant, married because she thought he could take care
of her.
Marriage is defined as an insitution uniting a man and a woman in a

people in America. They were not the only group of people to be
represented in the colonies. Africans made up nineteen percent of the
population while the Irish and Scots accounted for fifteen percent.
Germany made up seven percent, Dutch three, and French two percent. The

Triangular Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. This was an organized route where
Europeans would travel to Africa bringing manufactured goods, capture

invented a language that was a mixture of all the African languages
combined, called Creole. This language now varies from island to island.

Negative Effects Of Television On Today’s Youth
.... than those children that don’t watch as much
television. In other words, those children are less bothered by violence
in general, and are less likely to see anything wrong with it. In a study
conducted at the University of Pennsylvania, children who watched a
violent program instead of a nonviolent one were slower to see help when
they witnessed acts of violence (Goodwyn 164).
In another study at Pennsylvania State University, about 100
preschool children were observed both before and after watching te .....

Working Mothers
.... it states that most men and women agree both sexes should have
equal working opportunities. Also that the men accept their new duties and
responsibilities at work and home. Increased gender equity has enriched
both sexes. Today’s women are entitled to be apart of the life their
mothers had to fight to live. Jennifer Wedberg states, “Life is more
complex now, you have to figure out what to do with your life, be a
housewife or a working woman.” A woman’s personal identity includes a job
or career. A .....

Straight-Edge: What It Is And What It Isn't
.... decades ago in the
1980-1983 era by the hardcore-punk band called Minor Threat. The song
"Straight-Edge" written by Ian MacKaye, the band's singer, not only coined
the phrase, but it encompassed all of the philosophies that a straight-edge
person believes in. There have been theories that an earlier punk band,
called the Teen Idols (which included Ian MacKaye and the drummer from
Minor Threat*), started the ideology of straight-edge, but the term was not
used until MacKaye wrote and published the song .....

Hippies

their families and did it for many different reasons. Some rejected their
parents' ideas, some just wanted to get away, and others simply were
outcasts, who could only fit in with the Hippie population. "Under 25
became a magical age, and young people all over the world were united by
this bond" (Harris 15). This bond was of Non-conformity and it was the
"Creed of the Young" (Harris 15). Most Hippies came from wealthy middle
class families. Some people said tha .....

Demographics

assume a few things . This shows that in even such a state with one of the
most cosmopolitan cities(NYC) that most likely there will be more whites
seen throughout. With a higher white population there will probably be more
white community leaders, government officials .There will be more whites in
the workforce .
The total black persons was 2,805,115 vs.blacks in rural 53,940 . I
would deduce that more jobs for blacks in less rural areas . I think that

Child Abuse
.... spouse abuse occurs, children are also victims of physical violence.
American studies indicate that about one third of adults who abuse their
spouse also abuse their children. Australian research suggests that this
figure may be higher. F thermore, children are likely to be at greater risk
of physical abuse by mothers who are being physically abused by a spouse
than children living in families where violence is absent. Here are some of

Cultural Differences Between Americans And Spaniards
.... Siesta according to the Spanish is a break or
authorized work stoppage beginning after lunch and lasts approximately four
hours; normally between 1:00 pm- 5:00 pm , with work resuming at 5:00 pm
and ending at 9:00 pm.. The idea behind Siesta is to escape the torturous
Spanish summer heat during the hottest part of the day. That made
perfectly good sense to me, because I was very reluctant to step foot out
of an air conditioned space during those hot summer days in Spain.
Among Spaniards and American .....

Road Rage

We wouldn't just give the person the middle finger or curse at them if we
were face to face with them, so why would we do so if we are in a car?
Second of all you want to use your change lanes signal whenever you
are about to do so. That could trigger most people if they get cut off,
you want to give the person or persons in the other lanes as much time as
possible to anticipate you moving in front of them.
Next, if you see someone .....

Racism

slow reemergence (Software Toolworks Encyclopedia; 1992). The clan, who is
notorious for its violence, has a relatively innocent beginning. It was
formed from some veterans from the confederate army and was first called
the Kuklos Clan which, in Greek, meant Circle Clan. One person thought it
would be a good idea to call it the "Ku Klux Klan" as a parody of the
fraternity names which always had three Greek alphabet letters in it. They .....
