Marriage In Japan
.... indulged. He says it is an active attempt to make oneself into a passive love object. One reason why a man continues depending on someone else is that he has been witnessed what his parents have been done and now he considers himself as a head of his own family. In case of woman, it is difficult to keep her job after the marriage, because she needs to take care of her child, which is considered to be a wife¡¯s job.

America And The Camel
.... important new influence to baseball was the television. By as late as the end of the next decade the Cleveland Indians drew over 2.5 million fans, the largest ever for a single season. The Camel company goes on to use a celebrity to sell their product. This is one aspect in history that we still see today. The employment of famous athletes to promote the sale of products is as big today, if not bigger, as it was in 1934. Today we see athletes such as Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’neal promoting such .....

Skaters And Stereotypes
.... talking. Robert Kelly Slater was born February 11, 1912 in Cocoa Beach Florida (Tomlin1). He went to high school and actually graduated. The reason I say this is because most people like Kelly (surfers knowing they are going to go professional) never graduate high school. Kelly grew up in Florida all his life. He was a local hero in central Florida, because everyone knew he was destined to make it as a professional surfer (Tee Interview). From 1992 thru 1994 Kelly placed first in the Maui Pro, second in .....

The Importance Of Tradition In Belizean Society
.... it . . . . .LOSS OF CULTURE.
During this period we lost our identity almost entirely. We became like the characters of the novel "Animal Farm" who hated the humans and all they that they did but after they chased them out and became their own masters they adapted all the same customs that the humans had had. We rejected Europe's influence because we gained independence but we welcomed it from the US.
Most, if not all, of the ethnic groups in Belize abandoned their customs, traditions and blindly fol .....

Losing Someone You Love
.... Anxiety mobilizes and focuses energies needed for coping and changing attitudes and values. For the most part, one does not suffer from over-anxiety for too long and as a result, people rarely become trapped in a maelstrom of anxiety long enough to do any personal damage to themselves. That is not the case with depression. Depression over loss can be a serious problem. In a healthy context, depression enables a person to work on issues of competence, value, and strength in the midst of loss. On t .....

Television In The 90’s
.... two to three hours spent each day watching the tube, children experience many acts of violence and sex.
The National Television Violence Study reviewed three years, almost 10000 hours, of television programming. They found that 61% of the programming contained some kind of violent act, with children’s shows being the most violent. Despite the publics concern with the violence, nothing in the media changed over the three year period. (Federman I,II,III) After researching ten years on the affects of violenc .....

Racism

The clan, who is notorious for its violence, has a relatively innocent beginning. It was formed from some veterans from the confederate army and was first called the Kuklos Clan which, in Greek, meant Circle Clan.
One person thought it would be a good idea to call it the "Ku Klux Klan" as a parody of the fraternity names which always had th .....

Violence On Television

"Is Moral Egoism Correct?"
.... do what is in our own best interest, which appears to be true from my previous arguments. When we look deeper though, we soon discover that although most of the time it is correct for us to do what is in our own best interest, sometimes it is not. For example, say I am poor and I am living in an alleyway in New York City. I have no money, no job, and nothing to eat. One day, a nicely dressed businessman comes up to me and offers to give me food, shelter and everything I ever wanted, but there was som .....

The State Of The US Family
.... stability in the family. The children of these homes only have one parental role model to draw their elements of social integration from. Also, since our society is obviously based on two-sexes, these children are emerging unbalanced and unprepared to deal with the pressures and demands a two-sex society has. The text states that these children tend to live in homes with less income. In divorce situations, the income is being split between two households, and sometimes two separate families. This is .....

Affirmative Action

"Instead of addressing educational discrepancies caused by poverty and discrimination, we are merely covering them up and pretending they do not exist, and allowing ourselves to avoid what it takes to make a dent in them--augmenting Head Start, improving high schools and spending more equally among schools" (Jacoby 36). The implication of racial pre .....

At the economy develops, the gap between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat grows wider and eventually all the capital is controlled by a small percentage of the population and the proletariat is forced into poverty. To someone with little or no sociological background, the above paragraph has nothing to do with population as a social problem. But if you fit population into Marx's description of the ca .....

Capital Punishment

Strongly urbanized states are more likely to have higher crime rates than states that are more rural, such as those who lack capital punishment. They say states that have the death penalty have it because of their high crime rate, not because they have the death penalty. During the temporary suspension on capital punishment from 1972-1776, researchers gathered murder statistics acr .....
