Is Television Good Or Bad?
.... to classroom teaching.
The drama serials on television are neither entertaining or educational. These shows simply depict "real life" (in the broadest sense of the term) and therefore do not teach or entertain (otherwise life itself would be entertaining!) I think that these programs should not be shown. Comedy programs, however, make viewers laugh, feel better, and make people generally happier. These programs should be encouraged, instead of the ‘real life’ dramas.

Age Of Reason
.... commonly and more conveniently known as “Discourse on Method,” Descartes describes his task as such: “as soon as my age permitted me to pass from under the control of my instructors, I entirely abandoned the study of letters and resolved no longer to seek any other science than the knowledge of myself, or of the great book of the world”(16). The knowledge of oneself, and of his so-called “book of the world,” can be obtained solely through a process of reason. He argues that it is reason alone “which con .....

Media And Society
.... less sensitive to violence, and to victims of violence, and it increases their appetite for more violence in entertainment and in real life. Media violence is especially damaging to young children, age 8 and under, because they cannot tell the difference between real life and fantasy. Violent images on television and in movies may seem real to these children and sometimes viewing these images can even traumatize them with bad dreams and other types of things.
Despite the negative effects media violen .....

The Women Of Irag
.... was that the urban housewife was kept out of the production process, since the production in towns was no longer run on a family basis. The only careers for which girls were trained were wifehood and motherhood. These weren’t suitable careers for women which threatened to drive them into the dangerous path of the consumer race.
Eventhough the first move toward salaried employment of women in Iraq came in 1923, when a teachers’ training Institute was opened. 2 This still left some lower class women withou .....

Native American Virtues

If the the settlers weren't given food and friendship, they surely would've died off and Indians would have been free to continue their successful way of life.
Many Indians lived by a strict code of conduct. Though the specifics varied because of the vastness of the country, the general concepts were

Racism

Within these we find several that will be discussed in this proyect: blacks, American Indians, Latinos, Asians, women, and homosexuals. These groups are faced with strong discrimanting issues every day, and as long as our society is ridden with race-based problems, we will need race-based remedies. And while we have come a long way, we sti .....

Women And Society's "Glass Walls"
.... points to male dominance because the male-oriented activities and clubs receive a substantially larger portion of the university funding. The interest in male sports and profit made by the university allow male athletics to acquire nearly half of the university funding. Extended funding allows the fields of male athletics to be more "luxurious" with options for its members; thus, much interest is lost in female athletics by females. A loss of interest from the females creates indifference to fe .....

Peer Pressure Around Us
.... to better us. We all feel a sense of living up to certain standards that our family puts upon us. In today’s society we all want to be better than everyone else. When we see families which are better, we feel the pressure either from parents or from ourselves to try and improve. We don’t want to compromise the integrity of our family.
School is important to all of us and the pressures that come from the schools are high. We all have the pressures of achieving good grades, and doing well so that we c .....

Thomas Gordon: Active Listening
.... the teacher or parent must understand more about the communication process. He says that when a child decides to communicate with a parent or teacher, it is because he has a need. The child’s organism is in a state of “disequilibrium” because there is something going on inside him. He wants, or needs something.
In order to bring the organism back to a state of equilibrium the child begins to talk. Gordon gives the example of hunger. When a child is hungry, he must communicate his hunger to som .....

Relationships

First of all jealousy is normal. Everyone gets jealous some time or another. However, when it is happening all the time, then there is a lack of communication within the relationship. Getting jealous just because the other partner is looking at another member of the other sex should not be a reason to resolve to arguing. There has been endless amounts of arguing in some of the relationships that I have been in because of jealousy. For example, I would constantly be yelled at if I even glan .....

It shifts the focus of police work from handling random calls to solving community problems.
The Community Policing philosophy is expressed in a new organizational strategy that allows police departments to put theory into practice. This requires freeing some pat .....

I Hate Verbal Aggression!
.... out of the way. Eventually, this happens to us, and we are caught in a never-ending cycle of aggression. We achieve success momentarily, but quickly pull back to where we were as others do the same to get to the top.
What exactly is verbal aggression? Richard L. Weaver, professor at Bowling Green State University, says that it is a "message behavior that attacks a person's self-concept with the purpose of delivering psychological pain" (177). This includes such feelings as inadequacy, humiliation .....

Critics of this multiculturalism movement have opposing views. Many see the program as divisive and even ”anti-American” because it encourages students to find their ethnic identity instead of trying to identify with a united American culture. It is also a common belief that a “alternative” cultural education would impede the progress of the basic learning skills that were the backbone of the educational process.
I strongly believe .....

You want to remember though not to exclude or manipulate any one in the class. You must always remember about everyone's feelings and be considerate to all. And in return you will receive respect, which is most important in getting things done.
Right from the first day you have to show initiative, you must be strict and let them know who's in charge, other .....

Divorce And Love

Love. Does it even exist? Can people truly love the same person the same way for the rest of their lives? The phrase "I don't love you anymore", is frequently used as a reason for divorce. It does present itself as .....
