Immigration & Americas Future
.... of jobs. The International Labor organization projects a twenty-
year increase of 600 to 700 million people who will be seeking jobs.
Eighty-eight percent of the world's population growth takes place in the
Third World. More than a billion people today are paid about 150 dollars a year,
which is less than the average American earns in a week. And growing numbers of
these poorly paid Third World citizens want to come to the United States.
In the 1970s, all other countries that accept .....

The Immigration Problem
.... dreams of
eventually returning to their friends and family back home. Then there are the
distinct few who do not wish to decide, and would like have "dual citizenship."
To be loyal to more than one country, to vote in both countries, and to travel
back and forth easily (Limon).
To understand the affects of immigration one must study the state where it is
more rampant. California is a magnet for immigrants. As a result, many claim
that immigrants are a great economic burden. California does, however, benef .....

Immigration: Problem With Too Many Immigrants In The U.S
.... I believe this number should be cut in half.
We need to focus on problems facing American citizens, such as poverty, AIDS,
cancer, and unemployment. We don't need 300,00 more people to deal with, we have
enough problems with the currents population.
I don't think certain ethnic groups should be give preference over
another group but I think educated workers who can speak English should be
granted passage before a poor worker who is coming over here to pick lettuce for
minimum wage. The educated people .....

Impact Of Television Violence In Relation To Juvenile Delinquency
.... the impact
of television programs on juvenile crime. These hearings were only the beginning
of continuing congressional investigations by this committee and others from the
1950s to the present.
In addition to the congressional hearings begun in the 1950s, there are
many reports that have been written which include: National Commission on the
Causes and Prevention of Violence (Baker & Ball, 1969); Surgeon General's
Scientific Advisory Committee on Television and Social Behavior (1972); the
report .....

Women In Muslim Society
.... women to act as they (the husbands) act by
them, in all fairness; but the men are a step above them."(Q 2:228) "Men have
authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the
other."(Q4:34) Women are thought of as being lower in intellect and spirituals
in comparison to men. In the Quran it states, "And of His signs is that He
created for you, of yourselves, spouses, that you may repose in them."(Q 30"21)
This causes many Muslims to look at women as creations like the animals and
plants an .....

Is The Criminal Justice System Racially Biased?
.... Minority Group is a group of people who,
because of physical or cultural characteristics, are singled out for
differential and different and who regard them as objects of collective
discrimination. Discrimination is the act of singling out for unfair treatment.
Labeling is stereotyping, or putting a tag on someone, and treating them
accordingly. Self-fulling Prophecy is an expectation about how things will be
the situations that they predicted or expected. Finally, Differential
Association is the idea .....

Jesus And Youths In America
.... will scare kids into behaving so they do not go to Hell.
The latent function is that it is a slap in the face to every Easterner who has
conducted themselves in a productive and positive manner. Many of the Christian
right I am sure do not realize how offensive the notion is that Christianity is
the only faith to recognize that killing and stealing are bad.
What exactly are the "norms" that are so exclusive to Christianity? The
Christian world is more afflicted with crime than Singapore ever will be, ju .....

Juvenile Delinquency
.... away from home. But an action
for which a youth may be declared a delinquent in one community may not be
against the law in another community. In some communities, the police ignore
many children who are accused of minor delinquencies or refer them directly to
their parents. But in other communities, the police may refer such children to
a juvenile court, where they may officially be declared delinquents. Crime
statistics, though they are often incomplete and may be misleading, do give an
indication .....

Juvenile Crime: Crime Rates
.... violence of today's
juveniles, claiming only about 0.5% of young people commit violent crimes. (³
Crime Time Bomb,² U.S. News & World Report, March 25, 1996)
Current social trends do little to contradict the dire predictions made
about youth crime rates. Nearly all the factors that contribute to youth crime
-- single-parent households, child abuse, deteriorating inner-city schools --
are getting worse. At the same time, government is doing less (spending less)
to help break the cycle of poverty and cri .....

Leadership
.... of effective leadership is the ability to make decisions
to change, and not always stick to the status quo. What good is a leader who is
afraid of change? Despite economic setbacks, President Reagan reduced
government spending tremendously, and cut back on business regulations to
strengthen the business sector of the economy. By making this change, the
inflation rate fell 13% to 2%, and created thousands of jobs for Americans.
When Reagan entered office, the unemployment rate was 10.8%, when he lef .....

Leaders Are Being Influenced Dominantly By Either Confidence Or Competence
.... the followers; surely if that happened, they
would quickly lose confidence and possibly competence too. Instead, the
leadership and responsibility of the followers should be increased gradually as
they are steadily empowered, and at a rate that depends on how well the newly
gained leadership is handled.
At all times though, the leader must be prepared to guide or even
realign the direction the newly independent followers take. The leader must
also realize the risk of failure in the complete empowermen .....

Life Outside Our Biosphere

desert with little atmosphere, no water, and containing no life. If Earthlings
were to settle on Mars, we would remain totally dependent on the Earth's
resources.
Another close planet is Venus, the second from the sun. This "sister
planet" of Earth proved to have extremely hostile conditions. Scientists were
hopeful when they found traces of water vapor in the upper atmosphere, but were
disappointed when concentrations of sulphuric acid were discovered mixed with
the water. Venus has surface .....

Linking Media With Fitness Perceptions: A Study On The Affect Of Media On Fitness And Body Image
.... the media packages as well as a constant self-
concept maintained by all participants.
In assessing personal attitudes it is often important to measure not only what
an individual feels towards others but also his/herself. Prior research
indicates this is especially important when measuring attitudes towards physical
issues. It has been found that opposing views may be held simultaneously by
individuals in regards to themselves and others. Also concern for how a
response will reflect upon his/herself .....

Underage Drinking: A Big Problem
.... age from 21 years down to 18 or 19 years. At first glance, this seems
like a good idea because a large portion of underage drinkers, mainly college
students, would now no longer be underage and would be able to drink legally.
Problem solved, or is it? According to Reginald Smart, in 1971 the Canadian
province of Ontario lowered its drinking age from 21 years to 18 years, thinking
this would help alleviate its underage drinking problem. At first, the new age
law seemed to be working. Soon, bar .....

Love And Rejection: Breaking Up
.... teens hear about love all around us, in music and movies, on TV, in
stories. We hear that love will make us happy. We hear that single people are
lonely. We are told that if we are not part of a couple, we are not complete.
We all want to be part of this thing called ‘love'.
Okay, we get a boyfriend or girlfriend, now everything should be perfect.
But, it's not perfect, because life never is. It is easy to become
disappointed. Feelings can change. One person may decide to say good-bye.
