Feminism And Gender Equality In The 1990's
.... that the educated woman
was actually selfish and evil.
I remember in particular the searing effect on me, who once intended to
be a psychologist, of a story in McCall's in December 1949 called "A
Weekend with Daddy." A little girl who lives a lonely life with her mother,
divorced, an intellectual know-it-all psychologist, goes to the country to
spend a weekend with her father and his new wife, who is wholesome, happy,
and a good cook and gardener. And there is love and laughter and growing
flowers a .....

Answer America's Call
.... With computers and the viruses that go
with them, people can destroy the economies of whole countries without wasting a
single American life. Countries can crumble with the push of a few simple
buttons on a keyboard.
But to understand all of this new technology requires a great deal of
knowledge. Not just anyone can sit at a computer and make a country crumble.
It takes an intelligent person to even turn on a computer. No longer can
America turn to just anyone off the street to help the country. .....

Baby Boomers Are Jealous
.... to Generation X'ers as "That cynical, purple-haired
blob watching TV." (Giles, p2)
What makes our generation so special, is that we have proven them all
wrong. Generation X consists of those between the ages 13 and 33 years of age.
We as a group have become the productive, interested, and hardworking
individuals that we are today. We have grown to realize that the future's
undiscovered country is awaiting our arrival, and is there for the taking.
It isn't at all ironic that during .....

Torture, Not Culture - Female Genital Mutilation
.... her mother called her out of her
room to go buy her some gifts. When asked why, her mother replied, "I just
want to show you how much I love you." As Soraya got into the car, she
wondered where the armed guards were. Being the daughter of a Somolian
general, she was always escorted by guards. Despite her mother's promise
of gifts, they did not stop at a store, but at a doctor's home. "This is
your special day," Soraya's mother said. "Now you are to become a woman,
an important woman." She was ushered in .....

For The White Man, Of The White Man, And By The White Man
.... that all men are created equal, that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among
these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"(Primus 295).
Thomas Jefferson, having slaves himself, recognized the fact that he could
not free the slaves himself in that document. It was difficult enough
for him to get the Declaration approved by all of the colonies in itself.
In fact the last man to sign the Declaration of Independence did not do so
until the year 1778 .....

Gangs

people with brown hair were forbidden and non-caucasians.
There are many different gangs. Now there's one I am familiar
with, the Necronomicon, who jumped me and my homeboy (who's Latino) just
because we weren't white.
Another one would belong to the punks. Which I do not have a
problem with. The only two punk gangs I know of, do not call themselves
"Gangs" but they call themselves a crew. They call themselves CFH,
(Cowboys From Hell) and the other one .....

Child Abuse
.... The family can be helped to learn new ways of support and
communicating with one another. Through treatment, the abused child begins to
regain a sense of self-confidence and trust. Child abuse is a matter of degree:
the degree to which a parent uses inap-propriate or excessive control strategies
with a child and/or fails to provide standards of care giving. In fact, abusive
parents often do not know they are abusive. Our culture has, for generations,
used corporal punishment as a means of controlling child .....

College Fraternities
.... 5th 1776. After half a century of
existence, it became and has since remained a scholarship honor society.
Throughout the nineteenth century, many new fraternities were founded, but none
of these were permanent. Then, in 1825, the Kappa Alpha Fraternity (now Kappa
Alpha Society) was born at Union College. Two years later, Sigma Phi and Delta
Phi had been founded at the same college, constituting the so-called Union
Triad which was, in a large measure, the pattern for the American Fraternity

Gangs
.... (a 6-10
year old, who is not yet a member) is shown that s/he could make $200 to
$400 for small part time gang jobs. Although these are important factors
they are not strong enough to make kids do things that are strongly against
their morals.
One of the ways that kids morals are bent so that gang violence
becomes more acceptable is the influence of television and movies. The
average child spends more time at a TV than she/he spends in a classroom.
Since nobody can completely turn off their min .....

Controlling Relationships
.... both people need to learn from
their loneliness-so they can grow into people who want each other instead of
people who think they need each other.
It is often very hard to end a love relationship even when you know it
is bad for you. A "bad" relationship is not the kind that is going through the
usual periods of disagreement and disenchantment that are inevitable when two
separate people come together. A bad relationship is one that involves
continual frustration; the relationship seems to have .....

Gender Differences
.... with is stressful and painful. I told them that I am not too
critical when checking out girls and when it comes to seeing other males
bigger or stronger than myself, that I don't feel too much pressure of
trying to look better than them. I am rather more concerned of my own
health and ways to improve it. I was really surprised when they told me
that other girls are the ones who usually criticize or pressure them.
When I was aware of this, I did notice, at times, while walking around
casually with my gi .....

Different Images Of The Wife Between Sixteenth Centuries And Today

the respect of Katherine " Forward, I pray, since we have come so far, and be
it moon, or sun, or what you please." 1 In fact, she needed her husband to
support her life. If Petruchio didn't support her life, then she couldn't live
only herself. Oppositely, many wives have their new style of life today. They
don't need their husband to support their life. They can take care themselves.
In article "Men, women more confused about roles" , Lillian is an example, "
When her marriage ended, she retu .....

African American Vs. Caucasian Americans

Caucasian people in a group they are for the most part within a normal speaking
level. These two groups tend to act differently in the public due to their
cultural differences. There are a number of differences between the churches of
African Americans and Caucasians. At most typical African American churches
there are no true sermons. The African American churches tend to do more
entertaining rather than teaching. They also do a great deal of singing and

the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability,

This is a step in the right direction. However, this is not

always end up with a seen where someone is shot to death. This makes the viewer
perceive society as a place too dangerous to live in.
A very obvious monster in America is a criminal. Americans fear burglars,
rapists, and killers in their own cities and states. They are feared because
their victims are people like themselves and are victimized in very familiar
places to the average American. That is why people pro .....
