What Is Stupidity?
.... word
stupid would be a little different. If your occupation were mentioned above,
your interpretation might be simular to the dictionarys: “Stupidity: 1:Lack
of intelligence; dullness. 2: a foolish act or idea.”. The word “Stupid”
would used differently than most commoners. It would be used less than an
insult but refer to something somewhat more in a serious manner. For
example, saying that someone is stupid, would mean that they are mentally
challenged or really act dumb.
In, any case, the word “Stupid” .....

Feminist Backlash: The Unconscious Undermining Of Genuine Equality
.... and capabilities. A century ago
women were concerned with issues, such as the right to own property and
vote. Somewhere between then and now, feminist groups turned their agenda
to issues that offended many Americans. They crossed the line of personal
and moral decisions and made ridiculous accusations toward men. The first
feminists were necessary. Modern feminists have lost touch with American
women and “unconsciously undermined genuine equality”. It is no wonder
why men and women try to distanc .....

The Wild Life: Single And Married Couples
.... close friends. Single people live in a world of spontaneity, filled
with chaos. Everything is up in the air. They have no idea what day it is
much less if they have plans for the next weekend. Married people operate
on plans. They have such a full life a schedule is necessary to fit
everything in. A couple of weeks ago I ran into an old friend, an old yet
single friend. We talked for a while, reminiscing about high school and
past boyfriends, and decided we had to get together some time soon. She
and I .....

Pornography
.... These
items are easily accessible to American youth, and therefore, thousands and
thousands of teenagers are viewing explicit materials daily. Whether the
pornography be stolen, given to by an older sibling, or found in a trash
can, minors have had their hands on these vulgar publications.
Approximately 70% of the pornographic magazines sold eventually end up in
the hands of minors. More so, the chief consumers of pornographic material

The Media And Its Effect On Women And Their Views Of Their Bodies
.... and popularity, which
equals beauty, success and all the "good" things in life. Yet, recent
interviews have revealed that even glamorous and successful supermodels are
afraid of getting fat and what it might do to their careers. In many cases
the media has constructed faulty images that suggest that the influence of
gender in terms of "human nature" compel people in the eyes of the media to
behave and act in certain stereotypical ways, in turn causing young
impressionable women to be wrongfully misled.

What Are Morals?
.... When
you vote to keep abortion legal, that is morals. Whether thought of or
done subconsciously, morals are the basis on how you make many decisions.
From where does this sense of right or wrong originate from? Freud says
that moral development comes from observation of parents during the
developmental stage of childhood. From childhood, then, comes the
foundation for adulthood morality. A more detailed, yet similar, theory
proposed by Kohlbegis that a child goes through certain stages of moral .....

Children Are Easily Influenced
.... Studies have shown
that both boys and girls do talk to strangers, but boys are more likely to
do what a stranger tells them than girls are. A lot of young boys are
easily deceived. Girls, on the other hand, are more cautious. Even when
girls are young, they are still weary of trusting people they don't know.
There are, of course, exceptions to every rule.
Finally, kids are most influenced by their parents and their
friends. Because friends and family members are people that kids trust,
they t .....

Mothers In The Workplace
.... and it also helps
with the pride of the mother. Another issue faced is the way a mother may
feel about a child going to a child care, in the long run she knows it is
the best. Mothers can find guidance if they are not able to find the steps
of how to deal with continuing to work. Mothers also know how important it
is, even if they work, to show love and want to be around their child(ren).
When a couple are trying to raise a family, it is much easier when
there are two incomes. This way the .....

Mass Media, Sex, And Pornography
.... concept to be debated here is that society is
negatively influenced, specifically, by these images of pornography and
the result is increased violence against women. This assumption, and it is
indeed only an assumption, is completely fallacious, however, as no
concrete and completely conclusive evidence has ever been formulated in
support of the theory. The key premise here is that the mass media does
not cause undesirable social behaviour and in actuality, the media people
should not be dubbed a .....

Communicating To Kids About Divorce
.... that they are getting divorced.
Children usually know when their parents aren't happy and may feel
confused about the situation. Barb Clark, a divorce counselor and
psychologist, suggests different ways to communicate to your children about
divorce. She recommends that children need to be told about the divorce
before it happens (Divorce: Telling the Children.
http://web.tusco.net/pfcs/prog%2033.htm). However, many parents fail to
tell their children that a divorce is in the near future. For .....

Homelessness
.... in families, is a devastating experience.
It disturbs nearly all aspects of family life, damaging the physical and
emotional health of family members. In addition, it interferes with
children's education and development and often results in the separation of
family members. It is hard to say exactly who the homeless are because it
is usually a temporary circumstance and not a permanent condition.
Therefore more appropriate manner of estimating homelessness is to
look at the number of peo .....

Hutus is 3,000,000 and the Tutsis number only 1,000,000. The physical traits of
the Hutus and Tutsis are very different from each other. The Hutu have larger

Tutsis are related to the Masai and the people along the Nile, while the Hutus

Animal Rights

experimented with.
However, animal research is an integral part of today's society when
thinking of how much progress we have gained in human health with the use
of animal experimentation. To date some forty-one Nobel prizes have been
awarded to scientists whose achievements depended on laboratory animals.
Vaccines against polio, diphtheria, mumps, measles, rubella, and smallpox
