Why Athletes Are Good Role Models
.... to hear about all
of the charities that an athlete has donated money to? It would be interesting
at first, but you would get tired of it afterwards. That is why the media never
covers anything like this. We all know that they really don't care about
anything else except for a hot topic. The truth really does not mean anything
to them. This we notice in all the cases that the media jumps to wrongful
conclusions, such as the Richard Jewel case and the Olympic bombing and the TWA
flight 800 that blew .....

Impact Of Abuse
.... I was a little ten-year-old child, I had to deceive and hide from
the world and my mother that my father took a sexual interest in me.
Remember how you taught me that art of deceit? First you put me in a
situation that had to be kept a secret then you pledged me to secrecy...As
a ten-year-old child, what was I supposed to do? You are an intelligent
man you figure out the options available to a ten-year-old in that
position." (Rush, 1980)

A Comparison Of The Status Of Women In Classical Athens And Early Christianity
.... were shown as revolutionaries rising up against the men, women in
classical Greece were never like that.
The activities of women in Classical Athens were confined to "bearing
children, spinning and weaving, and maybe managing the domestic arrangements. No
wandering in the beautiful streets for them." The suppression of women went so
far as to divide the house into separate areas for males and females. While the
women stayed home, the men were usually out fighting, and when they weren't
fighting, t .....

A Woman's Identity

many women also have full time careers because the extra income is often needed
in the family. Some men criticize women for trying to act too much like men, but
women are being forced by society to move between the traditional definitions of
male and female roles, because of the many different tasks they have to carry
out from day to day. For example, in order for women to enter the “male” world
of work, they have to obtain “masculine” traits and leave their “feminine”
trait .....

coyotes, muskrats, nutria, and other animals are trapped each year in the
United States for fur".2 They suffer from unbearable pain for several
hours before their lives are ended by the trapper's club. Is the price of

Gender Roles
.... are a part of the
socialization process, the initiation given the young by society, teaching them
certain values and creating in them certain behavior patterns acceptable to
their social roles. These roles have been in a state of flux in American
society in recent years, and men and women today can be seen as having expanded
their roles in society, with women entering formerly male dominions and men
finding new ways to relate to and function in the family unit.

For the last six months of 1993 and the first three months of 1994
Portland averaged about 1,000 calls each month or 12,000 calls a year.
In January 1992, 30 criminal domestic violence complaints were issued.

leading cause of injury to American women between the ages of fifteen and forty-
four” (Briggs and Davis 94) . Abusers need to be stopped before its too late

Women are not the only victims of abuse. Children who live in a

executive men and women scored equally on most areas and that executive women
are just as capable at leading, influencing, and motivating groups, as well as

women are disproportionately represented in the ranks of Fortune 500 company
executives.
Repeated references are made to studies that were conducted with 22 people, 16

Human Desire To "fit In"

real question now lies in the reasons for this way of life. It was
hypothesized by C.S. Lewis that this desire to belong and to fit in is a
natural human characteristic. He believed that people have an instinctive
drive to belong, in the same sort of way species reproduce. It is possible
that his theory of instinctive necessity is accurate, and humans are as a
