Binge Drinking On College Campuses
.... binge drinking as the number one health problem
for students today (Monroe 27). A study by the Harvard School of Public
Health found as many as 70 percent of students at some college campuses
binge drink. One-third of all schools surveyed reported bingeing by more
than half the students (Kowalski 8). Many students feel they “know their
limits, ” and can act responsibly while under the influence of alcohol.

Gender Socialization
.... spend their time with dolls, tea sets and stuffed animals. But these
are the stereotypes that are influenced by the parents. A baby child isn't
concerned with his or her gender identity. As the child gets older though,
he or she will begin to develop an identity for his or herself and
establish a personality that reflects their masculinity or femininity.
During early stages of a child's life the mother is the dominant
figure in the child's life. The father plays a limited role until the

The Effect Of The Greek Culture On Other Cultures
.... basic elements, atoms and voids. Atomist theory had a great
influence on the scientists who later developed the modern atomic theory.
Pthyagorus, however, may be the most important thinker of Greek times. His
mathematical theories of geometry had a vast effect on modern culture and
knowledge.
Another area that was greatly effected was government. The Greeks
were the first civilization to develop a democracy. Cleisthenes divided
Athens into smaller neighborhoods called demes. Each of these

Inequality Of The Sexes

money he made would be used by all in the household. The traditional role
of the woman was to stay home, take care of the children, clean the house,
and cook. Because society has always associated money with power, the
person bringing home the money had the power. The man often makes the f
inal decision on all household matters because he has the money.
The workplace is another place where men and women are not equal.
The most obvious sign starts at the top. Look at CEOs of corporation; the

Prejudice
.... times when I have gotten on a
team and done well. Then sometimes the kids that I have played with will
choose me to be on their team again and the fat prejudice is broken.
Because I have experience prejudice myself, and have been hurt by it, I try
to avoid treating other people that way. Especially in sports, I try to
give everyone a chance to prove themselves. Being the object of prejudice
was very stressful for me, but I try to set up my own teams or play hard on
whatever team I am on and have fun .....

What Is Welfare?

incentives (Long 23). Federal expenditures for public and private low-cost
housing have been cut from $30 billion, in 1981, to $7 billion in 1987, and
only about 4 million of 10 million eligible households receive federal
rental assistance of any kind (Long 29).
In the essay, “A Nation of Welfare Families,” Stephanie Coontz
discusses her belief that all families in American history have depended on
the legislative, judicial, and social structures set .....

Sex In Black, White And Mulatto
.... resist, there is a presumption then that they were always willing to
oblige to their master's requests for sex.2 This, of course, is not true.
Not all slave women were so compelled to give into their owner's demands.
For some slaves the only way they could resist the advances of an
oncoming sexual predator was through resistance. Such an example is Jermain
Loguen's mother. When attacked, "she picked up a stick and dealt her would-

The Increasing Prison Population

created a huge and rapidly growing industry funded by American taxpayers.
The private sector is heavily involved in prison management, and prison
privatization is one of the country's hottest industries. Some companies
manage entire prisons, while others specialize in particular operations
such as health or food services. And manufacturers prosper when they
provide the many additional necessary items, from uniforms and bedding to
surveillance and monitoring equipment.
If current trends continue, t .....

Monks And Today's Society
.... from sexual desires,
by not allowing such things as marriage and sexual indulgement. The last
vow in which the monks lived by was obedience. This vow was not only used
to keep order, but it was also used to make the monks humble and not proud.
In the modern day United States the dominant values are more along
the line of selfishness. It seems, for the most part, that the main values
in today's American society are, fulfilment of desires, and a rebelling
type lifestyle. Greed can be seen everywhe .....

that they might be entering into a crisis.
In the Chinese culture, if one would break up the word crisis, they
would find that the word means opportunity and danger-threat. One might
gather that the word crisis is bad, but it could also relate to a good
situation. What the word crisis is trying to say is that it is a dangerous
situation where there is opportunity at the same time. People who are in a
crisis must evaluate their situational priorities and the .....

The Art Of Reasoning

those that we interact with in our daily lives.
2. Method of Authority
Once the state/church reaches a settled opinion, then let them teach that
belief and have those who reject it be terrified into silence.
This method has been much more successful than the method of tenacity
historically. For most people, this is the method that they use to fix
their beliefs, so long as they don't mind being intellectual slaves.
However, the state/church cannot regulate every opinion, and of course

.... Humans will act differently in every setting and
it is very difficult to get a natural response in an unnatural environment.
If a person is used to viewing TV in their own home, on their own beaten up
couch, their response level will be very different than it would be in an
empty room with a two way mirror. Not only will their awareness level be
raised, they may be more concerned in the changed viewing environment and
less on the television programs. In a person's home they may watch TV with
a high o .....

Why People Feel Gun Control Is Unfair
.... To bear arms" is guaranteed in the second amendment
of the Constitution of the United States of America and licensing
restrictions penalize law-abiding citizens while in no way preventing
criminal use of handguns. It is also argued that by making it difficult
for guns to be bought and registered for the American public there is a
threat to the personal safety of American families everywhere.
However controlling the sale and distribution of firearms is
necessary because of the homicide rate invol .....
