Culture, Nature & Freedom: Treating Juvenile Offenders.
.... key to
success. The youth need to feel the veil has been lifted. It allows them to
explore safely and see the world in a greater view. The view as other is removed
and a true balance displaces the master / slave one.
Next, we can look at Mills Ideas on culture. He would like to elevate the
morals of the human mind. To do this, we must continually test the standard. New
ideas must be able to circulate freely. We must weigh how all actions effect
others. This can not be done in these Youth centers as wel .....

Distractions In Life
.... found some inspiration from an unknown point. I
had realized I would not succeed in this battle called life without serious work.
The only one who could help me was me. I knew that I wasn't meant to do the
exact same thing for the rest of my life. I had to escape this bottomless pit
and move on to the next adventure. "I had several more lives to live and could
not spare any time for that one."
I moved on to another life. My "new" life was very hard to get used to,
but was well worth the trouble. I bega .....

Does Video Game Violence Affect Children?
.... Rangers (on Sega Genesis),
Tomb Raider (on PC CD-ROM), and Bishouju Senshi Sayla Moon SuperS (on Japanese
Playstation).
The first step I used was gathering a group of children ages 8-10 years old (5
girls, and 5 boys), got their parents permission, and made sure they had no idea
there was an experiment taking place. The second step I took was observing the
children play together before being exposed to violent video games, I looked for
any sign of violent behavior. What I consider violent behavior .....

Evil From Morals
.... evil is merely the absence of good. "The essence
of all reality is good, evil is merely the faulty reflection of reality found in
a world of particulars."(Funk & Wagnalls) There can be many different types of
evil. Two of such types are moral evil and natural evil. Natural evil consists
of things like pain and suffering, while moral evil consists of making ‘bad'
decisions. "Moral evil depends on the exercise of human will; natural evil is
independent of this." (MacGregor) The main difference between .....

Human Nature Is Inherently Bad
.... be just as evil.
Freud also introduces the restrictions set forth by civilization to
control the aggressive inclinations of Man (used in the plural sense).
Freud's argument is comprised of factually correct statements ( for his
time ). His premises are accepted by many leading Psychologists' today. However
the notion that Man is innately evil does not sit well with me and probably not
with most optimists, such as myself. His argument's conclusion is well supported
and his premises me .....

not show their feeling of happiness. Sometimes their happiness is just a

Lifelong happiness is something many people strive to achieve.

Happiness
.... Yet, what use is logic when the good
agent is miserable? Mill's stance within Utilitarianism exists as the more
favorable of the two beliefs, for happiness exist as the one intrinsically
favorable element, not an emotionless mind.
The main defender of the Utilitarian system exists within the Greatest
happiness Principle. Mill lived as a chief advocate of this concept, which
supports the idea that a decision is morally correct as long as it increases and
encourages pleasures and happiness. Kant .....

Hollywood's Attack On Religion
.... of the motion picture The Last Temptation of Christ.
MCA/Universal, which funded the Martin Scorsese film, called the protesters a
"know-nothing wacky pack" (38). However, as Medved points out, the protest was
"the largest protest ever mounted against the release of a motion picture" (37)
and included such groups as the National Council of Catholic Bishops, the
Southern Baptist Convention, twenty members of the U.S. House of Representatives
and prominent figures such as Mother Teresa of Calcutta and Ke .....

How To Get Married And Stay Married To The Perfect Mate!!
.... I will talk about how a couple can use the balance theory to make
sure that they will be happy.
Another theory I will talk about is the equity theory. This theory
dictates that people will be more attracted to someone that they have a fair
relationship with. It states that we will be happier with a person who takes as
much as they give to us. Over a long term relationship, like marriage, this is
important because both husband and wife feel that they are approximately equal.
In my book I will talk ab .....

Humanism
.... self fulfillment of man within the framework of
Christian principles.” This more human oriented faith is largely a product of
the Renaissance and is a part of what made up Renaissance humanism.
Modern Humanism, also called Naturalistic Humanism, Scien- tific Humanism,
Ethical Humanism and Democratic Humanism is defined by one of its leading
proponents, Corollas Lamont, as “a naturalistic philosophy that rejects all
supernaturalism and relies primarily upon reason and science, democracy and
human compas .....

Laughing And Sense Of Humor
.... and the games
they play all reveal little bits of their character.
It is a fair comment though that the most revealing character trait a
person has is their sense of humor. Few things are as distinguishable and
noticeable as humor. Laughs echo throughout rooms and they are as unique as
snowflakes. Jokes have been told and retold for centuries by men and women of
all races. While it has often been said of someone that “they have no sense of
humor,” it is untrue. Senses of humor vary more often than t .....

Love And Sacrifices
.... their ideas. The power of speech is what makes it all possible.
Communication is the most important thing in the success of a relationship, and
for someone to say that they love another is to respect them and their ideas and
to want to share with them. The most anyone can ever do for you is listen, and
the only way to do that is to communicate that you want to be listened to and
that you are willing to listen to the one you love. That is the most anyone can
do, and it is a gift of sorts.
What is the grea .....

Long Distance Relationship And How To Make It Work
.... are trust, communication and patience.
First and the most important, you and your boyfriend need to have trust
in each other. In every relationship there has to be trust, but for some reason,
in long-distance relationships, it seems like there has to be just a little
something more. Since you two are so far apart, you have to trust that the
other one only wants to be with you and no one else. What I would always do,
when I didn't know if I should do something that might be bad for our
relationshi .....

Loving In Truth: Creating A Society Of Living In Harmony In The 21st Century
.... and V-chips to block violent programs on TV
will never stop crime and violence. When we devote time, money and effort toward
problems and symptoms -- without correcting the cause -- the problems and
symptoms grow and spread like creeping crab grass.
But as an individual, what can one do? The answer is simple. All one has
to do is love. Love is the solution to all of the social problems in our society.
Adequate love will eliminate evil, crime, violence, mental suffering, the
suffering of innocent childr .....

Morality
.... other people will be the
ones that notice that you are immoral, and that can hurt personal relationships.
One way that I have succeeded throughout my career is by knowing and being
friends with a lot of people.
The practical side of life is based on interpersonal relationships.
Whether it be social or business, communicating with people is the only way to
get things done. There is no way that you can go through life in today's
society without getting along with people. If people think that you are .....
