Freedom
.... People can buy whatever they want when they want it. This freedom is mostly often used when people decide to spend the extra to buy a sports car or a luxury item. Unfortunately this freedom also has its limitations, because certain people don’t have the money to buy whatever they want. For example a person making $30,000 cannot buy a million-dollar house just because that is not realistic. Their income does not allow this type of purchase. People put some of these limitations on themselves by not .....

Youth's Fight To Gain Freedom From The Other Generation
.... The younger generation just wanted a chance to express their own views rather than having to constantly succumb to the values and rules left behind by the older generation.
The two different approaches used by authors to express these views are often representative of the two main systems used by youths to help gain their freedoms. The first approach, taken by the Port Huron Statement and authors such as Gerzon, Reich, Revel and Gitlin, follows the ideals of the New Left. The New Left represents y .....

Effects Of Media And Pornography
.... to believe pornography is a major cause for violence against women, specifically rape? To some sex is considered strictly a means of reproduction. Not to be used for entertainment or pleasure. These feelings are spread into society. This is exactly why the concealment of the sex organs and teaching feelings of shame toward human sexuality is so common worldwide (Christensen). Contrary to the beliefs of many, the mass media did not create these settings. In some societies women have no qualms ab .....

Gender Communication In The Workplace
.... and women do not communicate well is that men and women use language differently. Women take the attitude that conversation is to explore solutions to common problems while men concern themselves more with getting information and hard data from conversation. Tannen states that what women look for in communication is human connection, while men consider status to be most important. They are looking for independence and are constantly looking for higher accomplishments. Intimacy threatens this independence, .....

Working Mothers
.... self-esteem because they are contributing to the world they live in. These women receive a renewed interest in life because they are in the thick of it. They are living life to the fullest. This model is the one that is constantly referred to as "bad" because it paints the woman as someone who does not really care about the effect of working will have on the baby. In fact, most of these mothers have made this choice with painstaking care. They are constantly feeling what everyone is thinking, and this .....

Body Modification In Today’s Society
.... to put so many holes in her body or cut their skin. They see body modification as self-destructive, much like anorexia or bulimia. I am a prime example of youth urge toward body modification. Below I will talk about why, what, where, and how people modify their body and how people look upon them.

Relationships
.... they have together.
Togetherness, with all of its perks, can also be unhealthy. My pet peeve of unhealthy togetherness is when couples spend every moment of their time together. Spending too much time together can cause resentment from each other as well as from friends and family who don't get the time they deserve. I have been the forgotten friend of a girl who spent all of her time with "the love of her life." The relationship lasted only a few months, and our friendship died right along with the .....

Teenagers And Sex
.... this in more of our schools! The average teen spends 23 hours per week watching TV. Prime time TV contains roughly three sexual acts PER hour! Studies have proven that this viewing is associated with sexually permissive attitudes and behaviors. Until we, as a society, decide to take charge and develop responsible media messages that encourage positive behaviors and attitudes, this will continue.
I disagree very strongly with the author’s choice of harsh words geared toward teen parents. The author is t .....

Human Aggression
.... a father may tell his young son to beat up the school bully who is picking on him. As a result, the boy is taught to deal with the situation by using violence.
In order for an individual to display aggression, it must be driven by an instinct interacting with that person's surroundings. McDougall defines the word instinct as “an inherited or innate psycho-physical disposition which determines its possessor to perceive, and to pay attention to, objects of a certain class, to experience an emotional e .....

Divorce And Children
.... Others say that they feel like they’re in a cage, and the walls are closing in. This situation can be psychologically damaging, and in many ways can be as damaging as being physically abused, even if the other person isn’t doing any intentional or tangible harm.

Censorship On Televison

Somewhere along the line, someone had the notion that Americans are not smart enough to view “questionable” and “objectionable” material. Censors were instituted to tell the general population what should and should not be viewed and thus began this
travesty. Government organizations, such as the FCC, routinely and systematically subjugate and suppress the freedoms that we have to express ourselves as guaranteed by the .....
