Racism By Police Officers
.... must be doing something wrong.
The police have been known to be racist towards teenagers and women also. It is less of an issue now but definitely still exists. Many male police officers don’t want women on the force and don’t believe that they can perform the job as well as men can. This makes it harder on women who want to become police officers. Police also harass teenagers the same way they do blacks and other minorities. Police often take advantage of younger people by doing illegal procedures to .....

Your mind feels panicky as you feel his touch in more intimate places and you scream involuntarily. His grip tightens as he places his hand over your mouth. “We’ll have to do this the hard way!” comes his intense whisper. You flail your arms at him, but it doesn’t help. His writhing massive body is on top of yours, and you feel so powerless. Eventually, you sink into a sob .....

Adolescent Egocentrism
.... all ready getting in trouble, “Oh, well they won’t get in any trouble, nothing will happen to them. They’re our friends.” This displays the act of being indestructible. They all seriously thought nothing was going to happen to them. Maybe nothing will, but still they believe that there isn’t even the chance even though it happened before. Drawing on my adolescence, I can remember thinking like that also.
The second example relates to the latter. I mentioned that all the other kids were going to th .....

Effects Of Gambling

A person might become addicted to gambling from going to the casino too often. I consider going to the casino more than three times a week being addicted. Also a person might become addicted to gambling if when one of the first couple times that they go they win money. So that might lead in to them thinking that they are going to win money every time they go but the casinos are not in the business to lose money. The odds are set so that more often then not .....

Human Behaviours And Society

Social behaviors are supposed to be due to hormonal responses in human biological functions, but most of the time it doesn’t happen. For example, if a man is in an elegant place with very many people, and suddenly someone attacks him without any reason, the hormonal response will be to act aggressively against that person. In spite of this, the social contest will surely d .....
