Single Sex Schools
.... as life
style, interest, etc. Being in the same classroom ev ery day this might
not be able to let them concentrate well enough on their studies.
Besides the above advantages, studying in a single sex school would
also keep attendance problems to a minimum. Boys and girls, being in the
same classroom every day would naturally talk about activities aft er
school such as going for movies, having a drink in the evening. In a sch

Sibling Rivalry
.... This
helps neither brother. The younger brother feels more dependent, which
damages his self-image, while it makes the older brother resent the
attention his younger brother receives even more.
In this situation my personal belief is that a person should calmly
explain to the older brother that what he did was wrong, but forgivable.
You should also explain why it was wrong in a way the child can understand.
In my opinion the worst thing a person could do in this situation is to
force the child to .....

Slavery - Causes
.... also dying of many diseases, which was caused by harsh conditions. The
immigration of servents thus declined, becuase of the people in England
being informed of the harsh treatment in the colonies. The society was
where the land was easy to find, while the labor was most scarce.
Indentured servitude, was a form of labor which was declining, and the need
for labor increased rapidly.
In the 1600's, when tobacco was founded by John Rolfe, tobacco became
the main source of income for most of .....

Surrealism

and many of it's leaders -- notably andre breton -- went on to embrace the
new surrealist movement. disillusioned by on one hand "the cold and
insubstantial remains of art and literature, and on the other the scorching
analytical specifications of the exact sciences," surrealists were
dedicated to, in breton's words "pure psychic automatism intended to
express the true process of thought free from the exercise of reason and
from any aesthetic or moral purpose". as strongly influen .....

vague as it can range from teenagers such as "jocks" to "brains". The last
of these categories, the "conservative" teenager describes the class of
teenagers who follow the rules and teachings of the adult world without a
complaint or rejection. One will most likely find a "conservative" teen in
the front of the classroom trying to get as close to the teacher's desk as
possible. One will find that this person is usually .....

Violence On Television
.... 49), and that "despite slight variations
over the past decade, the amount of violence on television has remained at
consistently high levels" (Wurtzel, 23)? Why is it that, like the tobacco
companies twenty years ago, the present day television broadcasting
companies refuse to consent that violent films and programming can and do
have harmful effects on their viewers (Rowland, 280) What can be done to
combat the stubborn minded broadcasting companies and to reduce the amount
of violent scenes that .....

Television Violence And Its Effects On Children
.... and cue-triggered aggression. Josephson aims to differentiate these
two areas and how they are affected by television violence. The overall
purpose of her study is to research the effect this violence has on boys'
aggression. Special emphasis is placed on factors such as teacher-rated
characteristic aggressiveness in the boys, timing of frustration (before or
after watching the televised violence, and violence related cues.
Josephson's study is detailed and technical. However, sometimes i .....

The Urban Underclass: Challenging THe Myths ABout America's Urban Poor

high school dropouts consigned forever to joblessness. Yet none of these
perceptions is true, according to a new Brookings book, The Urban
Underclass. Edited by Christopher Jencks of Northwestern University and
Paul E. Peterson of Harvard, this set of essays attempts to separate the
truth about poverty, social dislocation and changes in American family life
from the myths that have become part of contemporary folklore.
According to a number of indicators the under .....

Nightclubs' Role In Our Drug Problem
.... -- despite
Obviously our focus is mid-directed. Because all types of people use
illegal substances, pinpointing one specific group to “bust” is not effective.
Recently, we have tried to track the location of drug use. We find places where
drugs tend to be, and seek to close them down as an effort to decrease the
overall use of drugs.
This has proved to be an ineffective technique because it does not
change people's craving for drugs. Reasons leading up to drug use still exist.
Arresting people for dr .....

Only Those With No Hope Take Drugs
.... they've been told forbidden. Adults may begin using drugs for
some of the same reasons as young people. In addition, the stress of life, job,
and family pressures may lead people to seek relief in drugs.
When people do not know how to handle their stress and depressions
properly, they seek for ways that can solve, at least lessen their pains. Using
drugs is certainly one method to reduce pressures and stress when there is no
help coming from others. Because drug causes temporarily delusion of wh .....

Tobacco Companies Targeting Young People

Camel driving a cool car and surrounded by beautiful women they get the idea
that in order to be somebody they need to smoke a Camel cigarette. It is not
right to prey on young people just because they are unaware of the dangers of
smoking.
The tobacco industry denies that these symbols target people less than
21 and claim that their advertising goal is simply to promote brand switching
and loyalty. Many people disagree with this statement such as I .....

however, the lethal dose is literally thousands of times that, making the
drug essentially non-toxic. LSD can be administered a number of ways,
the most common: orally through paper, sugar cubes, on a piece of gelatin,

Tobacco Advertising Makes Young People Their Chief Target

Medical College of Georgia report that almost as many 6-year olds recognize Joe
Camel as know Mickey Mouse (Breo). That is very shocking information for any

illegitimacy and divorce then - but life expectancy was lower, so there were
lots of orphans and half-orphans. We're more spread out now, but our travel time
is not any greater.
What I learned leads me to wonder: Why can't we do the same? Were
Americans then a different people than we are today? Have we become so
corrupted that we don't care about others? Have we become so lazy that we are
unwilling to suffer with? I think not. I hope not .....
