Stereotypes: Goths
.... "Goths." It was then she decided that was what she wanted to be. When she was thirteen she began to dress in "black" and it made her realize that she was expressing herself more than she ever had before. Rachel also likes dressing this way because it "gives [her] a certain thrill and satisfaction with [herself]."
Today, Rachel's reasons for dressing the way she does are still the same. It's strange, but she says that she's tried to dress "normal" once or twice, but she feels very awkward, as if every .....

Animal Experimentation
.... a week of testing on his body, Mike could not walk, feed himself, or function properly due to the experimental test performed on his brain. Mike would have never had to experience the change in his body if he would not have been tested on.
Death is another extreme case in animal experimentation. This may determine a flaw in the experimentation which is good for humans, but it ends the life of a innocent animal. Over 3 million animals started out like Mike did, as a healthy mouse. The treatments a .....

Violence On Television
.... is presented without punishment, viewers are more likely to learn the lesson that violence is successful.

For example, 47% of all violent interactions show no harm to victims, and 58% show no pain. Even less frequent is the depiction of any long-term consequences of violence. In fact, onl .....

Let Me Decide: The Right To Die
.... not think I would want to be kept alive by machines if I was in a terrible accident, or suffered an incurable disease. I do know that I would not want to feel pain or discomfort. The lecture brought back some bad memories. A few years ago I found it most difficult to hear about the invasive test and procedures performed on my grandmother when everyone involved knew she had stomach cancer and it had spread to her bladder. It seemed cruel to insist an 89-year-old woman, who was confused due to the p .....

Slaves In Rome: Low Level Servants Or Overlooked Mental Force?
.... of buying a car "as is". Slaves were dealt in outrages numbers, "Delos, a major trade center, could handle 10,000 slaves a day in its market" (Spielvogal 118).
The treatment of Roman slaves is hard to generalize. Stories of kind treatment and even times slaves would fight to defend their owners are numerous. Then there are those cases of horrendous treatment towards slaves, torture, abuse, hard labor. These treatments drove several slaves to runaway and even revolt and kill their masters. "Slave .....

Controversy In Calvin Klein Advertisements

However, there has always been the controversy about Calvin Klein ads in magazines and on television. In the past, there was a big controversy that centered around the ages of the unprofessional models and the suggestions that the ads appeared to be portraying. Some of the models that were used were minors, and raised the issue of “kiddie pornogr .....

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 and .....

Mothers And Daughters Relationships

What Is Love?
.... relative thing. The fact is that romantic love, is a different thing to different people. To me, romance is a fleeting thing. It is a step towards a better thing, towards love that isn't physical. Romance epitomizes the best and worst of love. It is a thing that I at once desire and despise.
The other definition of love is the fraternal love of others. A person loves their family, and their friends. This kind of love is more common. Every one is familiar with this sort of love. For example, a child usu .....

Determination Of One's Behavior
.... in which I was a minority member." "I was Known Angela to the outside world, and as Sun-Kyung at home". The use of I helps the reader to know defiantly who is the speaker and of whom they are prevalent within both underlying the entire story. It is ironic that both characters born in Canada would expect to have had their families embrace western traditions and culture, rather they struggle to maintain their own heritage and don't want to loose it. It is ironic because Suzuki and Sun-Kyung strug .....

Uniforms In Public Schools

Not worrying about how to dress unique will allow students to develop their individuality and creativity. President Clinton also supports this view, “Young people will learn to evaluate themselves by what they are on the inside instead of what they’re wearing on the outside” (Discount Store News).
Wearing uniforms will produce a sense of belonging that the students will share.

Working Through Disappointment
.... was taking its toll on the whole family; moreover the tension building was taking away from the real problem, my Grandfather. I thought long and hard, and I felt like the disappointment was beginning to bog me down. I made a vow to myself that no matter how bad thing would get I wouldn’t let the disappointment do to me, what it did to the rest of my family. I spent the next two days going to see my grandfather. I threw myself totally into deep thinking, mostly about all the good times we shared. I did not .....

Slavery

Religion entered into the equation when Diderot, author of the Encyclopedia, brought up the fact that the Christian religion was fundamentally opposed to Black slavery but employed it anyway in order to work the plantations that financed their countries. All in all, those influenced by the ideals of the Enlightenment, equality, liberty, the right to dignity, tended to oppose the idea of slavery.
Differing from the phil .....

This is not an uncommon situation for children anymore. Crime frequents in and around schools and is threatening the well-being of the students, school staff and communities.
Parents send their children off to school everyday all over America and they worry everyda .....

Radical Feminism Inhibits The Liberation Of Women
.... species and mainly the enemy. As always these women give the regular feminist a bad name. If you walked into a mostly male room and said feminist the initial word would be lesbian. These stereotypes are always breaking down what the traditional feminist is trying to build. The traditional feminist wants one simple thing, equality. The radical feminist also wants one simple thing, complete power. A easy way of making one’s case is undermining the other’s character. I believe that men and women are generally .....
